There were clouds and mist in the mountains, and a few rays of glow reflected the sky.

Chu Yu packed his luggage early in the morning, and Ruan Ningxiang stuffed him two more steamed buns.

"I don't know what Mo Ruchu did in the past few days when you were away. After returning to Beijing, you must be more careful. Don't let yourself get hurt, and don't do anything extreme...

And, no matter what, safety comes first.”

I don't want to separate, but I have to separate.

Chu Yu hugged her into his arms, held her hand and put it against her heart, "Yeah, I've written it all down."

Ruan Ningxiang felt the vigorously beating heart under his warm and tight chest, and raised her black eyelashes with trembling, "You still miss me."

Chu Yu couldn't help but tighten his arms, thinking, how could he not want to.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that the two reluctantly separated.

Ruan Ningxiang opened the door.

There was also a shadow who came with Chu Yu. It was said that he was also an orphan from the previous dynasty. He was found by Uncle Fu and kept with him to train him. Later he also became Chu Yu's influence.

Shadow was young and had a stern look on his face, "I checked early in the morning and found that the wilderness is safe for ten miles."

"Um."

Chu Yu looked at Uncle Fu and suddenly knelt down, "Father, I will leave Axiang to you again."

Uncle Fu has obviously become much older since Concubine Rong passed away. He helped Chu Yu up and said, "Silly boy, one family does not speak the same language as the other."

Early in the morning, A Yue protected Chu Yu, who was once again disguised as mugwort, and left the large army.

Ruan Ningxiang climbed up a nearby hill from outside the tent, stood on the top of the hill, and looked at the figure riding a horse in the distance.

Su He handed over a cloak.

The wind on the mountain made my clothes whistle.

Ruan Ningxiang folded her cloak, "Actually, I don't want him to leave either.

I'm even thinking that the capital is in chaos now, and if we take the northern capital together and occupy a corner of the country at this time, the emperor may not be able to mobilize any useful troops for a while."

Su He didn't understand the war situation, so she just listened quietly.

"But, no." Ruan Ningxiang shook her head, "In that case, Tzuyu will be charged with treason. Moreover, living in peace for a while will lead to a bigger war in the future. I can't be so selfish."

The capital was far more dangerous than her place. Ruan Ningxiang was worried about Chu Yu leaving, but she had nothing to do.

The figure turned around the mountains and disappeared from Ruan Ningxiang's sight.

A distant flute sound drifted over again, and the mushroom-like tents under the mountain were put away one by one.

In the distance, billowing black smoke burned.

Ruan Ningxiang and Su He went down the mountain again.

"Hey, hiking up the mountain early in the morning is so elegant." The Crown Prince of Beidu stopped Ruan Ningxiang.

Ruan Ningxiang was in a low mood and didn't want to pay attention to him.

But this person happened to be following her, "Why, he left again?"

Ruan Ningxiang paused and turned back to look at the Crown Prince of Beidu Kingdom, "Are you spying on me?"

"Don't say it is so ugly. What is surveillance? You are too careless." The jade flute in the hand of Beidu Kingdom indicated the distance between the two, "Stand so far away from me, so close to a eunuch, don't mess with me."

It’s strange for people to doubt it.”

Ruan Ningxiang stared at the Crown Prince of Beidu for a moment.

The Crown Prince of Beidu Kingdom's red clothes and black hair flowed elegantly in the wind, and his appearance wrapped in the aura of a nobleman seemed to be wild and unrestrained.

But Ruan Ningxiang could sense his hidden shrewdness.

"I know, why didn't you expose it at the time?" Ruan Ningxiang asked cautiously.

"I'm not that gossipy." Prince Youyouran of Beidu Kingdom said, "But can I use this as a blackmail to ask you a question?"

"explain!"

"What is the sound of this place? I really can't understand your music score." The prince of Beidu played another flute, and it got stuck in one place.

Ruan Ningxiang didn't know how to play the flute, and there was no piano here, so she casually hummed the part for him that he didn't know how to play.

The Crown Prince of Beidu shook the flute in his hand with dissatisfaction, "Hey, can you do something sweet? Sing a complete song and I'll accompany you to get a feel for it?"

Seeing that this person didn't guess Chu Yu's identity, Ruan Ningxiang had no choice but to sing again, "Serve the country with loyalty."

Wolf smoke rises, the country looks north

The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, and the sword is like frost

My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River

In twenty years, who can resist?

The melodious flute sound, accompanied by Ruan Ningxiang's catchy singing voice, drifted far away.

The soldiers who were packing the tents around them came to watch one after another.

There were also some Zhenbei soldiers who gathered together and whispered.

They had heard that the head of Zhao'an County had played the piano and sang a song during the imperial congratulations, which made the emperor happy and was canonized as a princess.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her, a little woman wearing a black military uniform with a knife on her back, her hair pulled back.

There are too many rumors about her.

The most popular rumor is that she was born as a bandit, and with her good looks, she was able to confuse King Yu into being recruited and made her the head of Zhao'an County.

Later, King Yu fell in love with the third lady of the prime minister's family, and he despised her origin and sent her to northern Xinjiang.

In Northern Xinjiang, she relied on her beauty to confuse General Xiao Shen, and even deceived General Xiao Shen to attribute all his illustrious military exploits to her.

It is said that after returning, this man abandoned General Xiao Shen and pestered King Yu in every possible way. The bewildered King Yu and the prince had a conflict.

I thought she was some charming and stunning beauty, but when they gathered to set off that day, the Zhenbei soldiers saw the rumored General Ruan, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

She is not extremely talented at all, not even as good-looking as the little lady from General Wu Yuan's family.

However, at this moment, everyone was attracted by her singing.

I don't know who clapped first, then two, then three, and the applause erupted.

Only then did Ruan Ningxiang realize that there was a circle of soldiers surrounding her, and she immediately became excited. She sang loudly and loudly.

Accompanied by the sound of the flute, over and over again.

The demoralized soldiers started humming along one after another.

The men, with their heroic voices, sang a heroic spirit of defending their homeland and making people's blood boil.

A song has thus turned into an inspiring military song.

Wu Yuan's body was cremated by Deputy General Ji this morning and turned into a handful of ashes in a wine jar.

Ruan Ningxiang was carrying the spring snow knife on her back, and there was no trace of affection between her children and her daughter on Leng Ningxiang's face.

She bowed to the wine jar in Wu Yuan's arms, "Has General Ji made arrangements for those who have contracted the epidemic?"

Ruan Ningxiang has changed her name from deputy general to general Ji.

Ji Xiong said: "Now that we know how terrible the epidemic is, we naturally dare not take it lightly anymore."

Ruan Ningxiang glanced at the large army and said, "Let's set off."

…

Over there, it was already three days since Chu Yu returned to the capital.

He discovered something. During the eight days since he left the capital, the commander of the imperial guard guarding the north gate of the capital had changed.

He recognized a few faces, they were people from Jinyiwei.
