Jun Zhaolin looked at Rong Lan with a deep expression, "Woman's kindness! Do you think Su Mo is your son, do you think he will treat you as your mother?"

Su Mo slowly raised his head, looked at Jun Zhaolin, and said two words firmly with his eyes, "I can."

He originally envied Mu Yuancheng for having such a good mother, but now he felt so lucky that he could have Rong Lan truly protected him?

For the first time in so many years, Jun Zhaolin felt that Su Mo was like a living person. He saw the fog in Su Mo's eyes, and thought that Su Mo was brought over from the Mu family, and knew that Rong Lan would not do irrational things out of just sympathy...

As for Su Mo's life and death, it has no impact on the situation at the moment. Rong Lan is very important, not just her own ability. Her husband and son guard the most important northwest border of the Dongming Kingdom. Therefore, if she truly protects Su Mo, Jun Zhaolin will give her this face.

"If the northwest fight starts, the war report will come in the past two days, but I am not too worried about Duke Zhen there." Jun Zhaolin said coldly, "The key point now is that the south cannot be lost!"

After Jun Zhaolin finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door report, "Master Gu has arrived!"

Su Mo's eyes were slightly condensed, and he guessed Jun Zhaolin's plan.

When Gu Feng entered the door, he saw Rong Lan kneeling on the ground and Su Mo standing not far away. He frowned slightly, and after he went forward to salute, he also knelt beside Rong Lan.

"Nanfeng City is in an emergency. Gu Feng, you can quickly lead troops to support. By then, you can take over Nanfeng City and you must not let the Nanzhao army invade the Dongming!" Jun Zhaolin's face was majestic.

Gu Feng didn't know that Rong Lan and Jun Zhaolin asked for an order before he came, and immediately responded, "Yes, I will fulfill my mission!"

"Rong Lan, are you still willing to go to Nanfeng City?" Jun Zhaolin looked at Rong Lan again.

Rong Lan said respectfully, "Please beg the emperor and let me be the deputy general of Gu Feng!"

Gu Feng frowned, "If my master's wife goes, I will be the deputy general!"

"Okay, that's it! Gu Feng, you make the decision. If you want to do something, you can listen to your master's wife's opinions more and let her go to help you. This time, don't let me down!" Jun Zhaolin made the decision.

Just as Jun Zhaolin didn't trust Rong Lan back then, she could only be Mu Zhenxuan's shadow. Until now, Jun Zhaolin still doesn't give Rong Lan a chance, even if he no longer doubts Rong Lan's loyalty.

It's very simple. For Jun Zhaolin, he can use Rong Lan when necessary, but it doesn't make Rong Lan a great success and become a famous female general in the Dongming Kingdom.

Back then, in order to avoid Rong Lan from putting his personal grudges above Dongming's interests, Jun Zhaolin now wants to train Gu Feng, so that Rong Lan can grow up as soon as possible, and be the only one, because he is the future general candidate in Jun Zhaolin's eyes and Mu Zhenxuan's successor.

Gu Feng wanted to say something, but Rong Lan grabbed him.

"Rong Lan, you have to protect Su Mo's life. I will give you this grace! If he has a strange intention in the future, you will not be able to escape the relationship at that time!" Jun Zhaolin said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Lan expressed his gratitude respectfully.

Gu Feng helped Rong Lan up. According to Jun Zhaolin's will, tomorrow at the hour of Mao, they will lead 100,000 troops stationed outside Wan'an City to Nanfeng City.

When he walked out of the imperial study room, Gu Feng frowned, "Master's wife, have the fight started in the west? Otherwise, how could the Nanman have such courage?"

Rong Lan nodded, "It should be that Yuzhou City is just farther away, and the battle report has not been delivered yet."

"I don't know how my master and Acheng are doing." Gu Feng looked worried.

"They are together, and there are enough troops there, and Yuzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The most important thing now is that Nanfeng City cannot be lost. If it is invaded by the Nanzhao army, it will form a force of attack on both sides, which will also affect the war in the west." Rong Lan's face was serious, "Let's stabilize the situation in the south first, so that your master and Acheng can focus on dealing with the Western Liao."

"Well, although the emperor asked me to make the decision, I listen to my master's wife in everything!" Gu Feng nodded.

"The emperor intends to let you experience it. You don't have to listen to me in everything. You make your own decisions. I will give you guidance from the side in time." Rong Lan looked serious.

Gu Feng nodded and held Rong Lan's arm, "Well! Master's wife is the best!"

Rong Lan stopped and waited for Su Mo to come forward behind her.

"Are you okay?" Gu Feng frowned at Su Mo's face.

Su Mo shook his head slightly, Rong Lan said nothing, and the three of them left the palace together.

When he arrived outside the gate of the Xunyang Marquis' Mansion, Gu Feng stopped the horse and stopped, "Master's wife, I'll go home and say to my grandfather and Lingyue, and then go to the military camp to prepare first. You don't have to hurry up and take a good rest. Just arrive before the hour of Mao!"

"Okay, you go." Rong Lan lifted the curtain, watched Gu Feng dismount, and strode into the Xunyang Hou Mansion like wind.

The carriage stopped soon and the Duke of Zhenguo arrived.

Yuan Qiu, who had been waiting in the door, quickly walked up to him, "Mom, is it okay?"

Rong Lan shook her head and got off the carriage one after another.

Seeing that both of them were back, Yuan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Rong Lan into the mansion.

On the way back to Qingrongyuan, Rong Lan briefly told Yuan Qiu about the incident. Yuan Qiu learned that this sudden change was suddenly changed, so he looked back at Su Mo. He still looked indifferent. He must be not surprised that he was completely abandoned by the Nanzhao royal family.

Yuan Qiu was not surprised that Rong Lan chose to protect Su Mo. Although it was because of her, it was not just because of her.

Yuan Qiu knew that no matter whether she and Su Mo were together or not, Rong Lan had already regarded Su Mo as a family member. Although it was only out of sympathy at first, the concern under sympathy was feelings.

"Then the father and Acheng must have fought." Yuan Qiu thought, "I think something is wrong. Why did Xiliao wait until his father arrives in Yuzhou City before the war begins?"

"Maybe the original Western Liao and Nanzhao formed a secret alliance and planned to send troops to attack the Dongming Kingdom at the same time, but Ji Fengyuan's incident occurred in the middle, so the war was scheduled for July 15th, and Xi Liao wanted to rescue him first." Rong Lan's face was solemn, "But it is also possible that Ji Fengyuan was just a coincidence and was used as bait. The people of Western Liao waited until your father was in Yuzhou City before taking action. It may not be for him."

Yuan Qiu's expression changed, "Mom means that the people of Western Liao will attack their father when they exchange Ji Fengyuan?"

"Since July 15th is the day of war, it is not impossible." Rong Lan's face was cold.

Now it seems that regardless of whether Ji Fengyuan appears or not, the situation changes in the Three Kingdoms have long been destined, and he is just one of these small pieces.

Rong Lan asked for battle not for merit and fame, but for Mu Zhenxuan and Mu Yuancheng who were in Yuzhou City without any worries.

Now it is also to protect Gu Feng. After all, he is young and lacks experience. He and Mu Yuancheng can only join forces, and they are not yet on their own.

It was originally an ordinary day. Gu Huai took his parrot to Liu Zhong and Duan Rong in the morning to chat with him. After receiving the news, he learned that there was a war report to arrive in Beijing, so he hurried home. Because if the war started, Gu Feng would probably go to the battlefield again.

At this time, Gu Feng had just entered Xiaoran Courtyard.

"Is something wrong?" Jun Lingyue looked a little tired today. Seeing Gu Feng frowning and coming in straight, she felt something was wrong.

Gu Feng stood outside the window and talked to Jun Lingyue, "Nanzhao suddenly sent troops, and the west side may have fought. The emperor ordered me to lead troops to take over Nanfeng City and set off before dawn tomorrow."

Jun Lingyue's heart sank slightly. The war was only extinguished for half a year and it was rekindled. Moreover, Nanzhao, who had always been an ally of the Eastern Ming Kingdom, turned against the Western Liao Dynasty. Although she did not understand the art of war, she knew it was very dangerous.

"The teacher's wife will go with me." Gu Feng said.

Jun Lingyue wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. Seeing Gu Feng turning around and leaving, she only said, "Take care and take good care of her master's wife!"

"I can do it." Gu Feng did not look back, and his blink of an eye disappeared from Jun Lingyue's sight.

Jun Lingyue sat back and covered her heart. The first time she felt such obvious panic was not just because of Gu Feng, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Gu Huai entered the door and met Gu Feng.

When Gu Huai learned that it was not the Northwest War Report, but the accident happened in the south, his face became ugly because he also realized that the situation was taking a sharp turn.

There is no morality between countries, only interests.

The Western Liao was once the strongest, and the alliance between the Dongming and Nanzhao was the general trend. However, in recent years, the Dongming has become the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. It is only a matter of time before Nanzhao chose to form an alliance with the Western Liao.

When Gu Huai learned that Rong Lan would go to Nanfeng City with Gu Feng, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, your master's wife is the most calm. If you encounter any problems, you should listen to her more."

"Well, grandpa is staying at home, don't run around." Gu Feng hugged Gu Huai.

Gu Huai was amused and crying, "What are you saying? Did you say to Lingyue?"

"I said that." Gu Feng nodded.

"Have you hugged her?" Gu Huai asked.

Gu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, "Grandpa, you are so old, don't be too rude!" Before Gu Huai beat him up, he ran out of the door with his bag on his back, got on his horse, and headed towards the city gate.

Gu Huai raised his head and watched Gu Feng disappear from his sight. He retracted his gaze until he couldn't see it. He turned around and entered the door, folded his hands together, and recited, "God bless Feng'er with peace and safety."

Gu Huai's son Gu Hang had an accident at the southern border of Dongming Kingdom. He fell off the cliff and saw no one living or corpse dead. After searching for a long time, he only brought back a corpse that had been gnawed by wild beasts and the jade pendant of Gu Hang beside him.

Gu Huai's wife could not stand the blow and passed away soon, and Gu Huai almost couldn't bear it. It happened that at that time, Liu Manshu was pregnant, which made Gu Huai want to live...

For a moment, Gu Huai thought of his son and grandson who had just left home and had no idea when he would return, so he sat in the ancestral hall for most of the day.

In the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, Rong Lan’s luggage was packed, and Jun Zihuan came with Mu Yuanruo.

"Mom, I only realized that I don't know how it is happening between Dad and Acheng." Mu Yuanruo frowned.

Jun Zihuan comforted her, "Dad and Acheng are together and take care of each other, and there will be no problem."

"It would be great if I had no children in my stomach, so I could go with my mother!" Mu Yuanruo's biggest ideal was to be a female general and go to the battlefield. Unfortunately, she married early and became pregnant. Now she can't go anywhere.

Jun Zihuan had no choice but to persuade Mu Yuanruo to relax.

"I'll go with my mother." Yuan Qiu suddenly spoke.

Su Mo, who had been silent, was stunned for a moment and returned to peace again.

"Qiu'er, stay at home." Rong Lan disagreed.

"Mom, my martial arts skills are not too weak now, and I'm not going to fight, I'm going to be a military doctor." Yuan Qiu looked serious.

"Qiu'er, the military doctor is not as relaxed as you think, don't mess around." Rong Lan disagreed. She just hopes that her children will be safe and sound.

"I know it's not easy. I'm mentally prepared. Mom let me go with you, otherwise I'll go there secretly." Yuan Qiu insisted very much.

Rong Lan didn't say anything, so she asked Jun Zihuan to take Mu Yuanruo back first, and repeatedly told Mu Yuanruo to take care of her fetus and not to worry about anything.

When Jun Zihuan and Mu Yuanruo left, Rong Lan frowned and looked at Yuan Qiu, "There are only Su Mo and Ashun left in the family, please stay and take care of them."

"Ashun can be sent to my elder sister for a while." Yuan Qiu said, his eyes falling on Su Mo, and then frowned, "You..."

Yuan Qiu really wanted to follow Rong Lan, not for the sake of experience, but for the sake of protecting her mother and using her best medical skills.

But Su Mo... Yuan Qiu knew that although the antidote had a bright future, whether he could find all the medicinal herbs in the end could only leave the will of fate, and Su Mo had no time left.

He is now very weak and will die faster when using force. He may fall into a coma at any time and is not suitable for going out.
