After capturing Jingcheng, the next two cities to attack will be much easier, as if pushing to the top of a house, other places will become very vulnerable, with little resistance.
As long as the next two cities are captured, Qin Yu will be able to join forces with Nan Gongao's army to besiege the core of the Qin State - Bianjing.
More than nine months have passed since the start of raising troops, and the weather has entered late autumn.
The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and the vegetation has turned yellow from its original prosperity. The leaves of the maple trees planted in the yard have turned into bright red ones, which look like fireballs burning from a distance.
Li Luo sat on the stone bench in the yard, poured himself a cup of tea comfortably, and took a sip of the tea while eating a few mouthfuls of pastries placed on the stone table next to him.
Every time he rested in the captured city, it was the most comfortable few days he had spent on this journey. Li Luo would not let go of these opportunities to relax himself. Anyway, at this time, Qin Yu would mostly discuss the next plan with the other leaders in the study.
Although Li Luo proposed last time that the cavalry should throw fragrant soybeans to disturb the enemy's horses when the enemy's horses had exhausted a lot of physical strength and were hungry and thirsty, they won an unexpected victory. .
But whenever it came to such a time-consuming time, Qin Yu still wouldn't call him. However, when he was about to sleep with him at night, Qin Yu would simply tell him about their plans for the future, and did not want to hide his intentions at all. If he had any ideas for Qin Yu at this time, Qin Yu would also take it seriously Listen to him finish. Afterwards, Li Luo would find out that as long as his suggestion was feasible, Qin Yu would follow his suggestion.
Li Luo didn't understand why Qin Yu did this, but he was a dead homeboy in the modern age, he didn't stand when he could sit, he didn't sit when he could lie down, he liked to stay at home all day long , the last thing I like is troublesome things. So being able to avoid this kind of consumption of brain cells and being asked by others is really great for him.
Li Luo was like a cat lazily basking in the sun, squinting his peach blossom eyes, feeling the crispy and delicious pastry popping in his mouth, he couldn't help picking it up again. Pop one piece into your mouth.
Just when he picked up a pastry again, he saw a slender figure in a smoky purple dress bouncing in with his hands behind his back. Those big eyes lit up more than once when they saw him, and the already beautiful face looked even more charming.
"Brother Mucheng!" The girl jumped in front of Li Luo very playfully, looked at Li Luo with a pair of big eyes and a smile, and her small cherry mouth was slightly hooked, looking extremely cute.
Li Luo's otaku heart was once again hit by the heroine's unbelievable looks. Originally, the girls who would become the heroine in the books he wrote followed his own preferences. Now that such a living girl was standing in front of him, he unconsciously blushed and his heart beat faster.
But thinking of Qin Yu, Li Luo immediately calmed down.
The last two-month-long cold war is still vivid in his memory, and he can still recall the air-conditioning that permeated Qin Yu's body during those two months, which could be used as an air conditioner. He didn't want to have this kind of memory again. Anyway, the girl in front of him couldn't possibly belong to him in the end. He didn't want to step on Qin Yu's inexplicable explosive point again.
"Ruoyan, what's the matter?" Li Luo put down the teacup in his hand, lowered his eyes slightly so as not to look at Liu Ruoyan's face, and asked.
Liu Ruoyan saw that Li Luo's expression gradually became a little pale, and the sweet smile on his face was also hidden, and she couldn't help scolding Qin Yu who was still discussing matters in the study. If it wasn't for this person she hated since she was a child, it would be impossible for her elder brother Mu Cheng to treat her like this now. Brother Mu Cheng also often avoided her before, and it must have been instigated by that annoying ghost.
Her big bright eyes dimmed for a moment, then she smiled again, and said coquettishly, "Brother Mucheng, it is said that there will be a Lantern Festival tonight, will you go with me?"
As a dead otaku who has been single for more than twenty years and has never held a girl's hand, now he finally has a goddess in his fantasy to invite him on a date. Although his heart was a little moved, when he thought of Qin Yu, he immediately suppressed his heart.
Li Luo raised his head and looked at Liu Ruoyan apologetically, "Ruoyan, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."
The smile on Liu Ruoyan's face suddenly became a little lonely, "Is it because of Qin Yu? But today is my birthday, can you really accompany me for a while?"
Li Luo hesitated for a moment.
Liu Ruoyan seemed to have caught some life-saving straw, stepped forward and stretched out two thin white hands, grabbed Li Luo's wide sleeves and shook them, and looked at Li Luo eagerly, "Mu Brother Cheng, can't you even meet my little request on my birthday?"
As if thinking of something, Liu Ruoyan rolled her eyes wide, pouted and said, "Brother Mu Cheng, you are afraid that Brother Qin Yu will find out, then you don't have to worry. Just now, Yan'er saw that Uncle Nangong also Here they are, they probably will stay in the study for a long time, we just need to come back earlier after we go out."
Li Luo was silent for a moment, and sighed in his heart. Even if Qin Yu didn't know, he still couldn't do this. He looked at Liu Ruoyan apologetically, and said, "Ruoyan, I'm sorry."
Tears welled up in Liu Ruoyan's eyes, she really felt wronged. Obviously Su Mucheng took good care of her before, but since she came this time, he has become more and more indifferent to her.
After all, she is a girl who was pampered and raised since she was a child. She has never suffered any setbacks, but now she is rejected by the person she likes in her heart. How can she not be wronged
Li Luo looked at Liu Ruoyan facing him and shed tears, her nose was red, and she couldn't help sighing again, but finally her heart softened, "I will accompany you to buy a lantern, and then we will Come back?"
Liu Ruoyan stopped crying immediately, and nodded to Li Luo with red eyes.

The two walked out of the mansion together, and walked towards the busy street, but no one noticed that the moment they walked out of the mansion, there were several pairs of eyes fixed on their whereabouts, behind them Followed quietly, waiting for the best time to do it.
These few people who followed Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan were all hidden guards who had been sent by the Empress Dowager Jing Chun a long time ago and under her command the strongest martial arts.
They are very proficient in how to hide their whereabouts, and they are all far behind. Therefore, neither Liu Ruoyan nor Li Luo realized that they had been followed.
