The Lord Ruan he spoke of was Ruan Sizhui, the governor of Qinzhou.
Ruan Sizhui was unable to go with Lin Rufeng to pick up Ning Guzhou and his party this time because he received reports of unusual movements in Hewu Snow Mountain, so he took people to check.
When Lin Rufeng heard this, he subconsciously ordered troops to rescue Ruan Sizhui.
But he had only taken two steps when he remembered that the real master of Qinzhou had returned now, and there was no need for him, a weak scholar, to worry about the war.
He immediately went to Ning Guzhou and told him about it.
After hearing this, Ning Guzhou frowned slightly: "It seems that I hit Linyuan lightly before."
Although Lin Rufeng felt that it was not very kind to let Ning Guzhou handle government affairs just after he returned.
But Ruan Sizhui's situation is very dangerous and this matter cannot be delayed.
Lin Rufeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has been away from Qinzhou for nearly a year. When you first left, they were just testing him every now and then."
"Master Ruan and I beat them back. In these battles, there are winners and losers."
"After they confirmed that the prince and princess were indeed not in Qinzhou, they came over from time to time to provoke them."
"This time the situation is much more serious than before. Your Majesty must quickly find a way to save Mr. Ruan."
There was no need for Lin Rufeng to push this matter, Ning Guzhou also knew about it.
He immediately prepared to rescue Ruan Sizhui himself.
Tang Miaoxin heard their conversation and said to Ning Guzhou, "Be careful."
Ning Guzhou smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."
He has fought many battles with the Linyuan people and knows them very well.
Ruan Sizhui is currently besieged in the Hewu Snow Mountain. He has been there before and is familiar with the terrain. This battle is not difficult for him.
After he finished speaking, he strode out.
Tang Miaoxin sighed softly when she saw this scene. As soon as they came back, Ning Guzhou was going to fight, which made her a little melancholy.
But she knew that rescuing people was like putting out fire, so she didn't stop Ning Guzhou.
As soon as Ning Guzhou left, Lin Rufeng followed him out in a hurry.
After all, it has been nearly a year since Ning Guzhou left Qinzhou, and the situation in Qinzhou has changed somewhat compared to before.
Regarding matters related to Qinzhou's governance and people's livelihood, Lin Rufeng can talk to Ning Guzhou later.
But regarding the changes in Linyuan's combat power, he needed to tell Ning Guzhou immediately.
Because these things are likely to affect changes in the battle situation.
And because time was tight, Ning Guzhou could not sit there and listen to Lin Rufeng.
So Lin Rufeng took advantage of the army gathering to quickly tell Ning Guzhou about the situation in Linyuan.
Lin Rufeng's eyes were a little worried: "Since the eldest prince Aguzha of Linyuan was killed by the Qi people, they used this as an excuse to extort a lot of money from the Qi people."
"They used the money to buy a lot of weapons and expand their army."
"Last year, Linyuan coup, the third prince Shanlar became the king of Linyuan."
"Before Shanlar, we thought he was mild-tempered, but in fact he was very bellicose."
"And he is different from Linyuan's previous emperor. He is extremely ambitious and very cunning."
"The time we lost, it was because he personally led the troops."
"One time, if Lord Ruan hadn't been careful and discovered something unusual, all of our 50,000 troops might have been destroyed."
"It is precisely because of this matter that Shanlar has always regarded Lord Ruan as a thorn in his side, and has deliberately tried to get rid of him."
After Ning Guzhou heard Lin Rufeng say these things, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, almost all of them were destroyed?"
When Lin Rufeng said this, he wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, fortunately Master Ruan discovered the abnormality."
Ning Guzhou's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and Lin Rufeng sighed: "Your Majesty, you and the princess are not in Qinzhou. It is very difficult for Master Ruan and I."
"Now that you have brought the princess and the young prince back, please don't run around anymore."
"Look at me, I used to be a well-known and beautiful man in the capital, but now I have worked so hard!"
Ning Guzhou glanced at Lin Rufeng. In one year, he indeed looked older since the last time we were separated.
He is only twenty-six years old, and fine lines have already appeared at the corners of his eyes, and the skin on his face also looks rough.
Lin Rufeng comes from a wealthy family and is the one who cares about his image the most.
When he first came to Qinzhou, Lin Rufeng thought the wind and sand in Qinzhou were too strong, so he would use pearl powder on his face at night.
This incident was often laughed at by everyone.
Ning Guzhou asked him: "Are you still applying facial mask at night?"
Lin Rufeng said with a bitter look on his face: "I'm so busy every day now that I don't even have time to take care of Xiao Jin. How can I have time to apply facial makeup?"
"My wife is still like this before she is married. Whose girl will be willing to marry me in the future?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Guzhou with a smile and said, "If the prince really cares about me, ask the princess to give me a prescription for beauty!"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He knew that before Lin Rufeng came to Qinzhou, he had some of the faults of a child from an aristocratic family, and he was a gentle scholar.
After arriving in Qinzhou, his whole person became much rougher.
At this moment, the troops and horses had been assembled and could set off to rescue Ruan Sizhui.
Ning Guzhou patted Lin Rufeng's shoulder and said, "I think you are more like a man now, keep it up."
Lin Rufeng: "..."
After Ning Guzhou finished speaking, he got on his horse and set off with thousands of soldiers and horses.
They walked too fast, it hadn't rained in Qinzhou for a long time, the dust was very heavy, and Lin Rufeng was too close.
By the time Ning Guzhou left with his troops, Lin Rufeng was already covered in dust.
If Lin Rufeng had so much dust on her body when she was in the capital, she would have screamed to take a shower long ago.
But at this time, he just patted the dust accumulated on his body with his hands, dusted the corners of his robe, patted the dust on his head, and then went to do other things.
After all, Qinzhou is short of water, and the water here is an extremely precious resource. Lin Rufeng is reluctant to take a bath with it.
Tang Miaoxin stood in front of Prince Qin's Mansion, looking at the opening of Qinzhou's royal city with a bit of worry in her eyes.
Although she is not good at fighting, she has always been keen.
They had just returned to Qinzhou. If the situation was not very serious and Lin Rufeng could handle it on his own, he would not look for Ning Guzhou at this time.
She grew up in the south, and this was her first time visiting a city like Kaesong.
When she first entered the city, she felt very strange when she saw the scenery here. She looked left and right.
As soon as Ning Guzhou left, the freshness in her heart disappeared instantly.
Over the past year, she has heard many people praise Ning Guzhou. They all said how powerful Ning Guzhou was and how he managed Qinzhou with strong troops and horses in just a few years.
But as soon as she arrived in Kaicheng, she could see that it was not a wealthy place.
When they say Qinzhou is stronger than before, they are comparing the present with the past, but there is no way to compare it with the wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the year when Ning Guzhou was away from Qinzhou, Lin Rufeng and Ruan Sizhui were somewhat troubled due to geographical and complex political reasons.
