    Although you are the master of a country, there are still obvious differences between Shan Pingyou and Ning Lanmei. Compared with the gold ornaments on Ning Lanmei's silk hair, Shan Pingyou's clothes are much simpler, but the two  They are similar in age, and the initial unfamiliarity was shortened a lot after the two people entered the palace in a sedan. On the way, Shan Pingyou gave Ning Lanberry a small bottle. Looking at the soil in the bottle, Ning Lanberry asked what was in it.  Shan Pingyou said that there were seeds of ylang-ylang flowers in the soil. This kind of flower only blooms in the Gobi desert and does not exist on the mainland. It is very beautiful.

    Ning Lanberry accepted it happily, and then told Shan Pingyou that the season was wrong now, otherwise he could show her his blueberries. In this way, the two women kept chatting and soon arrived at the palace, and as Shan Pingyou  When Pingyou came to Ningguo, only some of the people from the Lousha Dynasty stayed in the imperial city, and the rest were placed in an empty city in Ningguo. From the beginning, the Southern Alliance countries went north to conquer Yan, and later Ninglang  The two countries went to war, and now Ye Ruoshui leads the army to the north. It can be said that Ningguo has suffered from war in just half a year. Ningguo, which originally had a population of nearly one million, now only has a few old, weak, women and children left on the streets.  The Lousha Dynasty is relatively better off, but I don't know how long this situation will last, because as long as the war continues, people will continue to die.

    Now the Ningguo Palace is not as lively as before. Ye Ruoshui seized the military power. When Ning Haobo became a puppet-like existence, those who were loyal to him began to shake their confidence. The trees fell and the macaques scattered. When some people left  , more people left the palace with these years of softness, and Ning Haobo later became a little discouraged, so he dispersed some eunuchs and maids. Even the queen also left here with the prince. If Ye Ruoshui really  To hate him, Ning Haobo wanted to keep his bloodline, and Ning Lanmei and Ye Ruoshui had always had a good relationship, so Ning Haobo also wanted Ye Ruoshui to remember their old relationship and protect Ning's country.

    How could Ning Lanmei not know Ning Haobo's thoughts? It was the first time for the Yan Kingdom with nearly a thousand years of history that this female emperor ascended the throne, but she had no choice. On the day she ascended the throne, Ye Ruoshui sent a letter to express her feelings.  In order to express his congratulations to her, he also sent people to send some generous gifts, and did not mention the recruitment of people or food. This made Ning Haobo feel at ease a lot. After all, the people of Ning State are now on the verge of collapse.  I simply can't withstand too much oppression.

    After a hearty meal that was not luxurious but was sufficient, Ning Lanmei took Shan Pingyou to the gate of the palace alone and looked at the sky in the distance. Although the sky was still clear, the two of them knew that burning  The war smoke in the north may spread here at some point.

    "What was the situation in the north when you came?" Ning Lanmei frowned and looked at the north and asked.

    Shan Pingyou shook his head, "We came here by boat from the sea. I don't know the details." Shan Pingyou said for a while, "Tianshui Kingdom should increase its troops, and Yan Kingdom's current situation should not be optimistic.  .¡±

    Ning Lanmei hummed softly, and then gently took Shan Pingyou's little hand. The two of them came to the edge of the city wall and looked towards the south. The people inside the city wall were walking in a hurry, and the shouts of traffickers and foot soldiers on the streets were heard in the past.  has completely disappeared.

    "If the Mang Kingdom and the tribe defeat the Yan Kingdom, they will go south, and Ye Ruoshui and the Tianshui Kingdom should cooperate for the time being, so we are still safe here."

    "It's only temporary." Shan Pingyou said and looked at Ning Lanmei, "How long can we live safely here? After they win, no matter who they are, will they allow us to exist?"

    "So we have to find a way." Seeing that Shan Pingyou had the same idea as hers, Ning Lanmei said with a smile on her face. After speaking, she couldn't help but hold Shan Pingyou's hand tighter, "Ning Guo up and down  Many men and women have died or are already on the battlefield, and every word and deed on our side will soon be known to Ye Ruoshui." Ning Lanmei said in a more serious tone, "Our hope lies with you."

    "What do you mean?" After listening to Ning Lanmei's words, Shan Pingyou couldn't help but frown slightly, "All the troops of our Lousha Dynasty were taken away by the mage, and the rest" Shan Pingyou said and frowned.  Wrinkled, "They haven't participated in the war, is that okay?"

    "Many Ningguo soldiers have never been on the battlefield before, but men are bloody. I think if they are willing to defend their homeland, even if they only have fists left in their hands, they will risk their lives to bleed." Ning Lanmei said this.  Recalling what Ye Ruoshui said to him at the beginning, "I've been secretly training an army these days, but Ningguo really doesn't have the manpower to control it, and you, Lou Sha, are different. Ye Ruoshui hasn't set his sights on you yet. If  If you like, we have to move fast.¡±

    "I will go back and discuss it with my mother." Shan Pingyou nodded, "I have thought about the various problems I encountered after coming to the mainland, but I never dared to face them." After saying that, Shan Pingyou nodded.You looked towards the south and said, "There are already 50,000 people in Lousha rushing to the front line. If each household has a strong man, we should be able to gather nearly 100,000 people." Shan Pingyou said with a smile on his face.  A hint of sadness, "It is better that some people die than all of them die."

    "It's a shame, don't let too many people know about this, let's plan slowly." Ning Lanmei turned around and held Shan Pingyou with her other hand, "We all need to live well."

    Shan Pingyou nodded and looked into the distance, "We moved out of the desert just to survive, before and in the future." After saying that, Shan Pingyou looked back at Ning Lanmei and said with a smile: "Then let's keep doing this.  Let¡¯s go forward hand in hand.¡±

    Trust, sometimes it is as simple as a look, a hand in hand, or a word.

    And betrayal is sometimes very simple. A thought, a little desire, a persistence, may leave the person who was originally on the same road.

    And war not only makes people die, but also makes people grow rapidly.

    In this time when autumn is about to end and winter is coming, two girls in their prime meet and hold hands, and then decide to walk together, intertwined like two driftwoods constantly floating in the sea, facing the huge waves.  Moving forward in the cold wind.

    In this season when the autumn frost is about to disperse and the winter snow has not yet fallen, Du Linlou leaves his home where he has lived for generations and silently embarks on another road home. However, due to Du Linlou's betrayal, the entire Yan Kingdom has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.  In the panic, although Lu Zhenyu ordered to block the news, the news that the Yan army was defeated and returned spread like a strong wind. Those whose relatives were in the expedition team began to mourn their dead relatives, and the grief ended, and the entire Yan Kingdom  It was shrouded in fear.

    What does it look like to break up the country?  What is it like when your home is burned down?  What happens when the enemy's spear comes swinging?  Can I survive in troubled times?

    Many people began to have trouble sleeping and began to worry about what would happen if the enemy attacked. Various theories spread among the city residents. Some people said that Ye Ruoshui was a devil. Otherwise, how could the army of 500,000 be defeated?  ?  Some rumors even made people panic. There was news that Lousha, Tianshui Kingdom, and even the tribe and Mang Kingdom would invade the Yan Kingdom. When the troops came to the border, the Yan Kingdom would be destroyed at any time.

    Fear, fear, worry, these are not enough to explain the mood of the city residents. Although the city lords of various cities have continuously posted notices to ask the residents not to panic, there are still people who take their families and leave the city every day, leaving the place where they have lived for generations. As for  After leaving the city to go there, more people chose to go west to the Addes Mountains - in their view, the tribes had lived in the mountains for thousands of years, and they could do it themselves, and dealing with those beasts was better than destroying the city.  Kill it, okay?

    No one can believe that the city can be defended, because the troops in each city are very few. At this time, they are not thinking about what they can do if they stay, they are just thinking about escaping.

    As Lu Tianxing issued an imperial decree, the Yan Kingdom citizens who had left their homes were driven back to the city by the army. They either stayed in the city or were directly killed for defecting when they left the city. Because Lu Tianxing's decree was originally a bit confusing.  The situation is relatively stable, but it cannot drive away the fear in people's hearts.

    Waiting to die is sometimes more unacceptable than sending yourself to death.

    Compared with the turmoil in other cities, Lihuo City is much better. People are still coming and going on the main official roads in the city. Rich young men are drinking wine and teasing women from good families, and small businessmen and hawkers are still shouting.  , the girls in Liujiu Alley are also ostentatiously soliciting customers. Even the citizens rarely talk about the war among themselves, but only talk about short-term and trivial matters, as if the war is far away from them, so far away that they don¡¯t need to worry at all.  Their own safety is only in danger, but whenever they pass by the conscription edict issued by the imperial court, they can't help but quicken their pace.

    Although the war has spread, people still have to eat three meals a day, so life in the No. 1 store is still very good. Looking at the people who are constantly coming in and out, the abacus in Qian Duoduo's hand has not sounded for a long time. Lu Renjia is standing next to him.  Looking at Qian Duoduo who was distracted, he came to Qian Duoduo and wiped the table with a rag while touching Qian Duoduo with his hand, "What are you thinking about?"

    "I don't know what's going on with the war in the south." Qian Duoduo said in a much lower voice, "Maybe we will be surrounded when we leave Huo City."

    "You don't want to live anymore?" After hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Lu Renjia looked around nervously and felt relieved when no one was paying attention. "Be careful that walls have ears. I heard that many people have been arrested for talking about the war.  .¡±

    "Why are you so silent?" Qian Duoduo said, reaching out and flipping the abacus in his hand, "I don't know what happened to that kid Su Qin. There has been no sound for such a long time.?, I knew he never regarded us as friends.  "

    "I don't think so." Lu Renjia looked at Qian Duoduo and shook his head, "Su Qin is at war now, so there is no time."

    "Lao Lu, I have something to discuss with you." Qian Duoduo was silent for a moment and then raised his head and said to Lu Renjia.

    "you say."

    "I want to go to Qingyun City." Qian Duoduo said, stood up and left the counter, came to Lu Renjia and whispered.

    Nodding, Lu Renjia looked at Qian Duoduo seriously and said, "Wait, after we finish this work, let's go to Su Qin together."

    At this moment, panic suddenly broke out on the street. Soon several soldiers walked into the store and took a look at the people in the store. One soldier stepped forward and grabbed Qian Duoduo, while the rest ran towards several young people.  The children and the citizens in the shop said, "The emperor has ordered that everyone between the ages of sixteen and thirty must enlist in the army to protect the country!"
