Do not kiss the king

Chapter 4 War

There is an acacia tree in Ruan Yuan's yard, which was planted by Fang Shiyun when he was a child, and it is already very tall now.

A paper lantern was hung on the tree. The sunlight passed through the lantern wantonly, faintly reflecting the ink-colored handwriting inside. The young man standing under the tree looked up, with the sadness in his eyes turning round and round.

"Ying'er, when you see the paper lantern on the tree in the future, it means I have something to say to you."

Ruan Yuan took a deep breath, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, a line of tears fell from the corner of his eyes.

You married someone else, and I died once. Now that things have happened, there is nothing else to say.

Thinking this way, he finally picked up the bamboo pole next to him and skillfully poked the paper lantern down.

That's it, one last time.

From now on, even if there are tens of thousands of them hanging on the tree, he will never open one again.

The northern barbarians invaded, and Huajing was afraid of falling.

Luozhou is about to fight, and the grain is quickly stored.

There are only a few words on the lantern, but it is quite shocking.

To frighten the family and the country into danger, and to frighten that person to still miss him at this time.

Ruan Yuan pursed his lips tightly, Wang Nian's sharp face appeared in front of his eyes, and he said with his hands behind his back, "I'm from the Northland and you help me, aren't you afraid that I will be bad for the South Region?"

Northern Man...he is indeed Northern Man.

Ruan Yuan frowned, a string in his heart suddenly tightened, he turned around, and shook Baguio who was dozing on the stone table with one hand,

"Yaoyao, hurry up and tell people to prepare more food."

"There's going to be a war."

The little girl was still in a trance, but when she saw the paper lantern in his hand, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Fang Shiyun is looking for you?!"

After saying that, he pulled the piece of paper from his hand without hesitation and tore it to pieces, angrily said,

"He deserves it too! Pooh! Rotten person!"

Ruan Yuan watched the piece of paper turned into snowflakes and sprinkled on the table, the vague hope in his heart was instantly dimmed, he supported the table with one hand, pretending not to care,

"When I tell you that I want to fight, you ignore it."

"When I saw this thing, I was so anxious."

He patted Baguio's shoulder reassuringly, and made a far-fetched smile,

"It's important to tell them to stockpile food."

"This torn paper," the hand on the table gently gathered the scraps of paper together, "I'll clean it up."

Baguio nodded and ran out of the hospital, Ruan Yuan watched her figure disappear at the gate of the hospital, but his hand was holding on to the scraps of paper, he lowered his head and cried heartbreakingly and utterly forbearance, he didn't even let out a sob.

Fang Shiyun, in this way we can completely clean up the two.

In the past ten years of my youth, in the end, it was still a pile of paper, a mess.

-------

The Northern Kingdom invaded like a broken bamboo, and the entire southern region was in panic, and supplies were also tense.

Even for the rich Ruan family, it is rare to see a few pieces of meat on the table.

Ruan Yuan and Baguio came to the gate of Tengxiangfang. At this time, there were not many people on the street, and there were not many open shops left.

"Miss Ruan!" The lady proprietress behind the counter leaned out and greeted the two who entered the threshold, "What are you here for?"

Ruan Yuan, with a white cloth wrapped around his neck, smiled at her as a response, but Bi Yao, who was next to him, snorted coldly, looked into the store, and said loudly,

"What else can you do, come and arrest people and bring them back to the house!"

The proprietress smiled awkwardly, and subconsciously glanced inside,

"Master Ruan is indeed here, the food has just been served."

Baguio pursed her lips, widened her eyes, and muttered,

"The master said that you can't spend money lavishly, meat is so expensive now, and he actually came here to steal it!"

The lady proprietress lowered her eyes helplessly, "It's so tight, there's nothing I can do about the price increase of meat and vegetables. If it's not for Young Master Ruan and the others to support me, my shop might have to go bankrupt."

"But Miss Ruan, your Ruan Mansion is also strange,"

When it comes to gossip, the proprietress regained her energy,

"The young master from the concubine is better raised than the young master from the concubine. He is tall and handsome, and he has never been short of money."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuan's eyelashes trembled violently, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but he could only look away, smashing his mind and swallowing it into his stomach.

He was the one who was really raised as a son, isn't he better than himself?

Baguio glanced at him worriedly, and then dragged him upstairs.

Before the two of them approached, they heard the conversations of several young men in the box from a distance, presumably it was the dandy young masters from those families again.

"Lianzhou has already fallen, the next one is our Luozhou."

"This meat, you can eat it for a few days."

"I heard that General Fang and the others have lined up at the gate of the city overnight. I think the defense of the city is suspended."

"It's me, why fight at a time like this, life-saving is the most important thing."

Ruan Yuan paused, Fang Shiyun's armored figure flashed in front of his eyes, his heart sank suddenly.

Before she had time to think more, Baguio who was next to her had pushed the door open with a "swipe", everyone inside was shocked, and Ruan You was sitting facing the door, and the hand holding the precious folding fan also froze.

The attention of the others was on Ruan Yuan, and they were all so attentive, "Ms. Ruan" one by one, scrambling to make room for him.

"Why do you sit? We are here to arrest people."

Baguio gave them an annoyed sideways glance, and went straight to Ruan You's side, then took his arm and dragged him out without saying a word.

Everyone knew that Bi Yao was raised by the youngest daughter of the Ruan family, and she had always been so arrogant, so she dragged Ruan You away without saying anything, but Ruan Yuan stood at the door, staring blankly at the table. The big fish and meat didn't move for a while.

"Let go, it's not like I won't go by myself!"

Ruan You swung his arms angrily, his eyes were wider than Baguio's.

"I told you that you are not allowed to spend money recklessly, I will go back and tell the master!" Baguio shot back.

Ruan You squinted, "The flowers are all gone, if you still don't let me finish eating, I'm going to lose a lot!"

Those two people were making noise on the road, but Ruan Yuan acted as if he didn't hear him, he had already flown to the gate of the city with his heart fluttering.

Los Angeles is about to go to war.

As long as Fang Shiyun can live, even if Luozhou falls, it doesn't matter.

--------

It was late at night, Ruan Yuan put on a thin cloak, went to the kitchen to pick up the food box prepared in advance, and melted into the night alone.

When they reached the gate of the city, their hurried footsteps finally slowed down, and the fingers holding the food box subconsciously tightened a bit.

He looked around for a while, and then he walked up to a soldier and said softly,

"This strong man, please give this to General Fang Shiyun."

The soldier hesitated for a moment, took the food box, his eyes lit up,

"Wow, it smells so good. I haven't smelled such a meaty smell for a long time."

Ruan Yuan's pupils trembled, his heart clenched tightly, and he asked,

"These days...what do you eat?"

The soldier waved his hand, "What else can I eat, even minced meat is good."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on Ruan Yuan's small figure and fair face, and he sized him up for a while,

"You are the young master of the Ruan family, right?"

"Did Miss Ruan ask you to give this food box?"

"Miss Ruan, the other major general is really affectionate."

The polite smile on Ruan Yuan's face twitched slightly, his mind was swirled by the darkness for a while, before he replied,

"And please don't tell him I sent it."

The soldier hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and agreed.

Ruan Yuan then turned around and merged into the night again, a white cloak fluttered along with the footsteps, the back was small and slender, and the steps also dragged out a long fragrance.

Turning the corner, a familiar figure appeared not far away. Ruan Yuan's eyes froze, and he went in the opposite direction without thinking, but the man behind him followed, and a "Ying'er" made the fleeing man stopped.

"I'm not Ruan Ying, I'm Ruan Yuan."

Ruan Yuan didn't turn his head back, but clenched his fists tightly under his loose sleeves.

Fang Shiyun subconsciously grabbed his arm, and when she heard this sentence, she lowered her raised hand again, her eyebrows moved, and thousands of emotions rushed into her heart, and she was out of breath.

"It's so late, why are you outside alone?"

"They're going to Luozhou soon, so don't leave the house for the next few days."

"I'll take you back."

Fang Shiyun took a step forward, but the petite young man in front suddenly turned around, his face was full of crystal clear tears, his always tender eyes were full of uncontrollable sadness.

The heart shook and then shattered, and the pain invaded the nerves. Fang Shiyun couldn't move for a while, so he could only watch the young man cry heart-piercingly, and muttered indistinctly,

"Obviously I can't go back, so what are these concerns..."

"What paper lanterns, what send me home, the more you do these things, the more I will never forget them."

"Fang Shiyun," he raised his head slightly, and looked at Shang Shiyun with those crying red eyes,

"You still take care of yourself."

"If you die, I will really hate you for the rest of my life."

The young master turned around resolutely after speaking, and the white figure disappeared into the night without looking back.

Fang Shiyun stood where she was, swallowing her sorrow up and down, and it took a long time to regain her composure.

Back at the gate of the city, a soldier handed over a food box and said with a smile,

"Major General, Madam Fang gave you food, we are all envious."

The moment Fang Shiyun took the food box, the heart wall that Fang Shiyun had built with great difficulty collapsed again.He took the food box aside and opened it, looking at the plate of meat that was still warm, leaning his back against the wall, his suppressed sobs finally broke out.

This back and forth concern is in vain tied to each other's hearts, he and that little master can't go back.

The author has something to say:

Ruan You [shaking the fan]: "Hello everyone, I am the second young master from the Ruan family."

Ruan Yuan: "I am the eldest young master and eldest daughter."

Baguio: "I am the eldest young master's personal servant girl, and also the adopted young lady."
