Lin Ying woke up in bed screaming, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her face as pale as paper, as if she had just experienced a horrific nightmare.
She had a terrible nightmare last night, dreaming that the former army fortress was breached by the Northern Yan army, dreaming that the King of Southern Xia was assassinated and killed by traitors, dreaming that Lin Yun was chased by a powerful enemy country, and his life was hanging by a thread in the end.
All the scenes in the dream are so real and lifelike. They are not like ordinary dreams at all, but more like foreseeing the future.
Lin Ying didn't know if there was some kind of telepathy between her and Lin Yun. But she firmly believed that this dream was warning her and reminding her what she should do next.
Lin Ying didn't think much, hurriedly got dressed and got up, and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As a member of Lin Yun's family, she met the Prime Minister of Southern Xia, who was also the Lord of Internal Affairs.
Lin Ying told the Lord of Internal Affairs unreservedly what she had dreamed about, and begged the Lord of Internal Affairs to immediately send troops to the front army fortress to support her.
But the Internal Affairs Lord dismissed Lin Ying's words and believed that Lin Ying's words had no basis at all.
After all, there are half a million troops stationed on the front line, and there are five generals guarding it. They have been in peace for 80 years. How can it be said that it was conquered just because it was breached?
Especially when he heard that the King of Nanxia was dead, he immediately kicked Lin Ying out. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Ying was a member of Lin Yun's family, he would have ordered his beheading.
Lin Ying had no choice but to find Wai Xiaojun again and ask him to lead the army to the former army fortress to provide support.
But the Foreign Lord, like the Internal Affairs Lord, still refused to believe Lin Ying's words. He even thought that Lin Ying was crazy and kicked Lin Ying out directly.
The King of Nanxia and the King of Zhenguo were both absent, and the two big shots in the court did not believe Lin Ying's words. Lin Ying had no choice but to go to Murong's house again.
After hearing Lin Ying's narration, all the elders of the Murong family did not believe it. Only Murong Xue looked worried. After all, her grandfather Murong Tuohai was also on the front line. After hearing what Lin Ying said, he naturally couldn't help but become worried.
After Lin Ying's repeated pleas, Murong Xue finally chose to believe it and began to persuade the family elders to go to the front line for support.
But those old die-hards didn't believe it at all and always gave various reasons to shirk it, just not wanting to go to the front line.
Putting aside the fact that Lin Ying's words are not trustworthy, even if the former army fortress is really breached by the enemy and the army is not dispatched to support, the Murong family alone cannot change anything. Even if they go to the front line, they will die.
So no matter what Lin Ying said is true or false, they will not go to the front line.
In desperation, Murong Xue and Lin Ying could only act on their own.
As soon as the two girls left the city, a light figure fell from the sky and landed in front of them.
This is a playboy who has just grown up. He holds a white jade folding fan in his left hand and a platinum jade mirror in his right hand. His silver hair is like a dream, his silver eyes are enchanting, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his facial features are exquisite, and his skin is fair. He is more beautiful than a woman, which makes people...
It is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
There is no doubt that this person is one of the three great monsters in the royal city in the past, the handsome boy.
The handsome boy stood in front of the two girls, but didn't even look at them. Instead, he held a platinum jade mirror and admired himself in the mirror.
"If your dream really becomes a reality, even if you go, you won't be able to change anything. All you can do is go and die in vain."
When Lin Ying asked Wai Xiaojun for help, Hua Meinan happened to be there, so he knew Lin Ying's purpose of leaving the city.
"Even if I can't save Brother Yun, I will die with Brother Yun." Lin Ying said firmly. After saying that, she pulled Murong Xue and tried to bypass the pretty boy and head towards the front line.
"Wait a minute." The folding fan in the handsome man's hand suddenly unfolded, blocking the two of them in time.
Murong Xue Liu frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's okay if you don't help, but please get out of the way and don't hinder us."
"Who said I won't help?"
The pretty boy glanced at Murong Xue, then turned to look at Lin Ying: "Although I don't believe that your dream will come true, I can be your bodyguard for a day."
"Really...really?" Lin Ying was overjoyed. Hua Meinan was one of the three monsters. Although he might not be the opponent of the person who was chasing Lin Yun, he was still much stronger than her and Murong Xue.
.If he was willing to help, the situation would be much better.
The beautiful man raised the platinum jade mirror with his left hand and gently stroked his cheek with his right hand: "Of course there must be conditions in exchange. Afterwards, you must ask Lin Yun to refine a pill for me that can delay aging."
The flower boy knew very well that Lin Yun's alchemy skills were unmatched by anyone in Southern Xia, so he had great fantasies about Lin Yun, thinking that Lin Yun would be able to refine elixirs that would delay aging and preserve youth forever.
However, he was too embarrassed to directly ask Lin Yun for it, so he had to use this method to take advantage of Lin Ying.
After all, Lin Ying and Lin Yun have a very close relationship. As long as Lin Ying agrees, Lin Yun will definitely refine it for him.
It was with this idea that he came to help at this time.
Lin Ying and Murong Xue were both dumbfounded when they heard the beautiful boy's exchange terms.
There is nothing wrong if you think about it carefully. The handsome man pursues eternal youth throughout his life and is willing to sacrifice everything for this. Doing this kind of thing is just in line with his character.
"I don't know if Brother Yun can refine that kind of elixir, but I think he should be fine. As long as he can refine it, I will definitely let him refine it for you." Lin Ying looked at the handsome man sincerely,
She said in a pleading tone. She really wanted the handsome boy to take action, but she would not deliberately deceive the handsome boy.
The flower boy seemed to firmly believe that Lin Yun could refine it, so he agreed readily without any hesitation. The two hit it off immediately and immediately left the royal city and headed towards the former army fortress.
…
Nangong Yan carried Lin Yun on her back and ran for two hours.
At this time, her martial spirit had long since disappeared, all the energy in her body had been exhausted, and even her physical strength had been exhausted. Her running speed had completely slowed down, and every step was weak, leaving her out of breath.
But despite this, she still gritted her teeth and ran forward with all her strength.
Because the royal city that can bring her hope is not far ahead, still thirty miles away at most.
As long as she kept moving forward and crossed the thirty-mile journey, she and Lin Yun would both be safe.
But if she stops midway and is overtaken by the enemy, all her previous efforts will be in vain. And her father's sacrifice will also become meaningless.
When Nangong Yan could faintly see the high wall standing on the distant horizon and shrouded in hazy fog, a blood-red figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed more than ten meters in front of her, blocking her way forward...
