Chapter 63: Undisturbed Dust
Luo Jin climbed up the city wall and watched the battle from a distance.
After He Xiao left the city, he began to command the army to line up and the army lined up in formation. Feng Lingruo was obviously familiar with this formation and stood in the front as a pioneer. Dressed in armor, she looked majestic. She also took the time to look up at the city wall.
Luo Jin felt her armor was quite handsome and was quite envious.
The drums of war sounded. The armies on both sides began to fight.
He Xiao calmly commanded the crowd, and was ruthless in the battle. Not long after the battle began, the Dongyuan Army had the upper hand.
The battle ended with the victory of the Dongyuan Army. This was smoother than Luo Jin had imagined.
Luo Jin remembered that all the battles in the main storyline were won by the male lead and female lead. No matter what happened, the female lead's halo was on and completely fearless.
She thought she had nothing to worry about until a few days later when she saw He Xiao and Feng Lingruo fighting again for some reason.
Could the relationship between the male lead and female lead develop properly?
What happened to love at first sight? How did this relationship turn so bad?
According to the development of the plot, after several joint battles, the two should have been in love. At this time, Feng Lingruo will return to Yeyuan, and the two will fight the enemy together on different fronts, and beat the Hanyuan Kingdom.
Though the battle was won, the relationship between the two didn’t improve because of fighting side by side. Instead, it became more fierce.
Maybe it was developing into a relationship of quarrelsome lovers?
Luo Jin thought optimistically, until half a month later when she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The two people didn't get injured in several battles with the enemy. Instead they drained each other with their fights and actually got injured.
What's more, the two people later continued fighting after a quick bandaging.
Luo Jin took in all the soldiers retreating far away as well as the streets that were turned into ruins. She sighed, jumped into the battle circle, grabbed the hands of the two, and shouted, "Stop!"
She exerted force on her hands, snatched both swords, and stated word by word: "Have you two had enough? Will you stop?"
He Xiao: "???"
Feng Lingruo: "???"
She threw the swords on the ground, grabbed the hands of the two, and put them together.
The smile was threatening, "Apologize to each other, shake hands, and make peace, understand?"
The two looked at each other and lowered their heads like two elementary school students.
"I was wrong."
"No, I was wrong. Sorry for hurting you..."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so cruel."
"I didn't pay attention to the restraining when fighting..."
Luo Jin nodded with satisfaction, "That's more like it. Keep it up in the future. Don't fight again!"
Her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Otherwise... lock up in a small dark room, understand?"
The two nodded at the same time.
Only then, Luo Jin dropped her hand and turned away.
Feng Lingruo waited until Luo Jin walked away before whispering, "Isn't she a civil servant?"
He Xiao said blankly, "I remember she is the Minister of the Ministry of Imperial Sacrifices? Is that a civil servant?"
"Are your civil servants in Dongyuan so fierce?"
"I don't know. Other civil servants don't seem to be like this..."
"Then let's do it behind her backs when we fight in the future."
"Okay, let's fight outside the city."
Five days later.
Luo Jin asked He Xiao's personal soldiers, "Where is your general? Where is the Princess?"
The personal soldiers hesitated for a moment, "It seems that they went to the woods outside the city...
Luo Jin let out an auntie smile.
Okay, these two people finally got it and knew to go into the woods.
She climbed up the tower and looked at the woods outside the city.
She saw the trees in the woods falling one by one...
A bad premonition suddenly arose.
She opened the city gate and followed into the woods with a dark face.
As expected, the two of them started fighting again and were fighting so vigorously.
Seeing Luo Jin coming, the two of them stopped fighting and lowered their heads, like elementary school students who had done something wrong.
Luo Jin felt that she was like a class teacher, staring at her students all day long, telling them not to fight, and to get along with each other in a friendly manner. As a class teacher, she was a little perverted since she wanted to see her students fall in love.
Fortunately, although the two of them fought, they wouldn't disappoint at critical moments. They were more ruthless than anyone else on the battlefield.
A month later, it was time for Feng Lingruo to return to Yeyuan.
Luo Jin felt that she was going crazy. She originally came to watch the main plot, where the male lead and female lead fell in love sweetly and slash through all four directions. And the result? The two of them fought for a month.
When Feng Lingruo returned to Yeyuan, it was time for Luo Jin to return to Wei City to report.
Except for the unsuccessful relationship between the male lead and female lead, Luo Jin's trip can be said to be smooth. The battle was smooth and her job was naturally properly accomplished.
After the emperor praised her, he gave her a lot of gold.
Luo Jin happily took the gold back to Moyuan. After this mission, the emperor didn’t assign her any more work. She laid comfortably until the New Year, thinking that the main plot should end soon. She wondered if the male lead and female lead were together.
Under the joint attack of the male lead and female lead, Hanyuan no longer sent troops and turned from offense to defense. It seemed that Empress Dowager Su had given up the plan to unify Jiuyuan.
During the New Year, Luo Jin caught sight of a soldier from Donglin City delivering a war report, quietly pulled him to the side, and asked: "How’s the relationship between your General He and the Princess of Yeyuan developed now? Is their relationship good?"
The soldier nodded, "Thank you Official Luo for your concern. They have a good relationship."
Luo Jin smiled, "That's good."
The soldier continued: "General He said that Yeyuan’s Princess is his best brother and the most trustworthy brother."
Luo Jin: "..."
It seemed that something was amiss?
It was the ending, how did you two become brothers?
Which male lead and female lead didn't share sweets at the end?
This year was depressing. Although Luo Jin got the New Year's bonus from the emperor, she didn't get to eat sweets from the male lead and female lead. She was unhappy.
On the second day of the New Year, a new battle report suddenly came from Dongyuan City.
The Yeyuan Army was defeated and requested reinforcements.
The emperor was stunned for a long time after seeing the battle report. Then he summoned Luo Jin and Jie Gui to the study and closed the door.
"I suspect that Empress Dowager Su may have used the previous Gu. Her soldiers are much more powerful and are fighting all out." The emperor lowered his voice, "Can the Gu you saw before make people stronger? How much stronger?"
Luo Jin recalled for a while, "The eighth-level can reach nearly the ninth level. If it was an ordinary low-level soldier, it may be strengthened more. But Gu insects... can so many be raised? Using it to control an army is unimaginable."
She always thought that Gu insects could only be raised on a small scale.
The emperor shook his head, "To treat her own soldiers like this, this Empress Dowager Su is cruel. You can remove this kind of Gu, right?"
Luo Jin said: "It's possible to remove them one by one, but if it's a large-scale army... it’s basically not efficient and doesn't have much effect on the battle."
"But if this goes on, the entire continent may be destroyed by Hanyuan... No, if she destroys other countries, she will use more Gu to control more people to fight for her. In this way, the world will never be at peace."
The emperor pondered for a while, "The previous great astrologer's prediction about world disasters... may come true. How’s your investigation?"
Luo Jin said: "I have been investigating and found some clues, but they are few and can't be of much use."
She hesitated for a moment, "I had an idea before. Since Luo Xin was the great astrologer of Jiyuan, maybe there are more clues in Jiyuan. If necessary, we can only go to Jiyuan."
The emperor didn't speak for a long time. Luo Jin somewhat guessed his concerns.
"The Emperor of Jiyuan was the direct victim of the prophecy. This prophecy ruined his life. He must hate it. If we go to Jiyuan to investigate this matter, it will be bad if he finds out."
She didn't know whether Shui Yingchen's memory had recovered at this moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "I am willing to accept the order and go to Jiyuan to investigate this matter secretly. As long as I am not discovered, I have a way to escape."
Jie Gui said, "I will go with you."
Luo Jin shook her head, "I can take Xiao Lian with me. Official Jie's is busy with ministry affairs. What’s more... Official Jie isn't good at martial arts. If he meets the Emperor, it will be difficult to escape. "
The emperor said: "Xiao Lian... is that little girl by your side? I heard that her martial arts are strong."
Luo Jin said: "She is almost at the ninth level. I didn’t choose her because of her martial arts. She is from Jiyuan and has lost her memory. I want to take her to Jiyuan. Maybe she can remember something. "
These days, Xiao Lian had been intermittently thinking of some childhood things. She probably remembered that she was from Jiyuan and even remembered some scenery of her home.
The emperor was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Then this matter... will be entrusted to Minister Luo. To prevent the news from being leaked and known by Jiyuan, your departure must be kept secret."
Luo Jin said, "I understand."
Jie Gui turned his head and looked at Luo Jin for a long time without saying anything. When he saw that she was about to get up and leave, he uttered, "Be careful on the way..."
"I will."
Luo Jin went back to pack up her things, took Xiao Lian with her, and left the city that night.
When Xiao Lian heard that she was going to Jiyuan, her face turned red. She was nervous and scared.
"If Xiao Lian can't recognize father and mother, will they be angry?" Xiao Lian was worried. She was holding a big rag doll, which Luo Jin had drawn a pattern for and got someone to make for her.
Luo Jin patted her doll, "Don't worry, your parents love you dearly. They will only be happy to see you, not angry."
Xiao Lian's hair had grown long, while her height was a little taller. She looked more like a big girl. But her mind wasn't like her actual age, more like a child.
After getting along for a long time, Luo Jin found that this child not only had a talent for martial arts, but also had a high IQ and learnt everything quickly. She sometimes taught her some knowledge in mathematics and physics. Although she herself wasn't a top student, she still knew more than people of this era.
Xiao Lian learnt faster than she did back then and was interested. Luo Jin felt if this child was thrown into the modern era, she will definitely be a top student that everyone envies.
It took more than 20 days to reach the southernmost city of Jiyuan Country.
Luo Jin still used a fake identity. When she entered the city gate directly, no one stopped her. They checked her identity documents and let her in.
