When two armies fight, the tactics cannot remain unchanged.

After the last time the Japanese pirates were silent for five years after the last battle with Daqi, this time they attacked with great ambitiousness. They were born because of their entrenchment on the islands and were very good at naval battles. They attacked towns at night, like locusts passing through the border, and immediately retreated back to the sea after robbing their property. In a blink of an eye, they attacked the next place with the waves. The speed was so fast that it was hard to defend.

In his previous life, Chu Xing and other generals fought fiercely with him for nine months before they completely eliminated the Japanese pirates along the coast. This time, Chu Xing warned the coastal guards in advance. Therefore, although the first wave of Japanese pirates attacks were successful, they suffered considerable losses. Chu Xing rushed to Dengzhou, and based on his previous life's understanding of the Japanese pirates' nest, he adopted the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and first destroyed two islands occupied by Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.

The Japanese pirates suffered a great disaster. After some rest, they temporarily changed their tactics. At this point, Chu Xing's memory of his previous life was useless. The two armies fought with real skills. The enemy was tenacious, and Chu Xing was not the general who participated in the naval battle for the first time. He was already familiar with the methods of naval battle. In addition, he was healthy and became more wings when fighting with the Japanese pirates. At the end of the year, he successfully wiped out these Japanese pirates and cleared out more than 20 islands where the Japanese pirates were hiding.

The war ended, but there was a slap in the end. Therefore, Chu Xing lived outside this year and was busy until the end of February before returning to Beijing by the imperial edict.

Because of the scars on the forehead, Lu Mingyu has been staying at home and never leaving the door after being caught. During the Chinese New Year, the scars completely disappeared without any trace. However, it was cold and cold in the first month, Lu Mingyu was not interested in going out. Every day, he either went to play with his second sister Lu Huaiyu, or talked with his grandmother and mother. The weather was warm and she would occasionally accompany her brothers to play hide-and-seek in the garden. The snow was cold and snowy, so she sat on the warm couch and read books to pass the time.

It seems that it is no different from the daily life of previous years, but only Lu Mingyu knows that something is hidden in her heart.

Chu Xing said that he would interview her after he returned to Beijing.

Lu Mingyu didn't think there was anything she had to talk to with Chu Xing. After so long, Lu Mingyu had already taken it lightly. He did blame Chu Xing for being ruthless at that time, but as the days passed, the wounds in Lu Mingyu's heart gradually healed. What's the big deal? Isn't it just that the man he liked doesn't like her?

From Chu Xing's standpoint, he was not wrong. Her downfall was her own choice and a consequence of impulse. Chu Xing really didn't have to feel guilty and blame herself for this, nor did he have to make up for her deep affection by getting married. The relationship was responded to, and the relationship between the two people would become stronger and stronger, but there was no response. Lu Mingyu would not resent the other party unreasonably, and would not continue to like it foolishly. Just like now, she has already taken back her heart and she doesn't like Chu Xing anymore, so Chu Xing naturally has no need to "compensate" her.

Lu Mingyu was worried that since Chu Xing had said he wanted to have an interview, he would definitely find a way to meet her, right? When talking about such a thing, he would definitely not come to his home directly to ask for a meeting, and dare not make such unqualified requests to his parents. He was probably like Chu Sui, who would block her once while she went out. Lu Mingyu didn't want to see Chu Xing at all, and didn't want to talk to her about the embarrassing past, so she had to pay attention to when Chu Xing would return to the capital.

But Lu Mingyu didn't remember when Chu Xing won triumphantly in her previous life. She only knew that Chu Xing had made meritorious service and was promoted to the office.

Without leaving the house, Lu Mingyu could only hope to learn from her father, but Lu Rong believed that her daughter did not like Chu Xing, so how could she take the initiative to mention Chu Xing in front of her? Only when her daughter left would Lu Rong talk to her wife about the battle situation along the coast. Xiao loved her daughter the most and was the one who most reluctant to marry into the Duke of Chu's mansion. She was afraid that her daughter would repeat the mistakes in her previous life, so she would not tell her daughter if she heard about Chu Xing.

Lu Mingyu was embarrassed to let the maid beside her pay attention to the news of a strange man, so she knew nothing about Chu Xing's recent situation.

That morning, Lu Mingyu led his two younger brothers to pay homage to his grandmother. The five-year-old Nian brother also began to enlighten him. He ate a piece of plum blossom cake from his grandmother and followed his brother to study in Tongyin Hall. Lu Mingyu had nothing to do when he was free, so he stayed in Ning'an Hall to spend time with his grandmother embroidered a handkerchief.

"A Nuan is about to celebrate her birthday again on the ninth day of the lunar month." The sun shone in warmly. Zhu embroidered two needles, tilted his head to look at his granddaughter who was embroidering with his head down, and said with a smile, "A Nuan has grown so fast in the past six months, and she is almost catching up with your second sister."

Lu Mingyu likes to hear her elders praise her for being tall and her mouth is raised high. The body shape of her second sister has not changed much from her previous life. In her previous life, Lu Mingyu got married at the age of fifteen and reached her second sister's chin. Now she is only fourteen, so she is level with her second sister's nose. It seems that when she was a child, her grandmother's words really make sense. She can only grow tall if she eats meat or vegetables.

If this momentum continues, she may be taller than her second sister when she is in the hairpin.

Lu Mingyu thought happily.

"Fourteen, it's a big girl. Recently, there are so many people who come to our house to propose marriage, but A Nuan hasn't liked it?" Of course, Zhu was not just a vain, and he was deliberately trying to talk to his granddaughter.

Lu Mingyu's hand movements slowed down, and then returned to his previous speed. He glanced at his grandmother coquettishly, "Aunt got married at the age of sixteen. My grandmother is looking forward to me getting married so quickly? I don't want to marry, so I will stay at home. Come to my grandmother every day to bother you and ask for my grandmother's bottom."

The little girl was full of witty words, and Zhu smiled so hard that she couldn't stop her ears. She put the needlework aside and did not let her granddaughter embroider. She turned her granddaughter and said, "Grandma can't bear to leave A Nuan either, but A Nuan is different from your aunt. A Nuan is more popular. There are so many people who propose marriage. Grandma wants to know what A Nuan really cares about."

Lu Mingyu turned around the jade bracelet on his wrist, his eyes slightly dim.

What kind of thing do you like?

She didn't know. She used to like Chu Sui who was so clear and funny, but Chu Sui was so romantic that she was in love with her. She changed to Chu Xing, who was indifferent and majestic, and would never be romantic. As a result, Chu Xing didn't have her in her heart. She loved her all the cold and hot, and she was hurt once. Now she was at the age of talking about marriage, but Lu Mingyu found that she had no interest in choosing a good son-in-law.

It seems that I don’t like anything and don’t have that thought at all.

"I like my father, who is good at being outstanding, has the best talent, and is also self-disciplined and dedicated to his wife." Lu Mingyu lowered his head, smiled and said perfunctorily, "I have to say some conditions to block my grandmother's mouth.

When Zhu heard this, he was worried. The conditions for her granddaughter were not high for her. Such a man was worthy of her granddaughter. However, she had to be able to take the top scorer and give birth to a son, who was as handsome as her son. No one could surpass her. Zhu felt that she would not find a second in her life. In Zhu's heart, her eldest son was the best man in the world.

No one can surpass his son, but Zhu has a heart that can match his son. When he glanced at the door, Zhu held his granddaughter's hand and whispered: "A Nuan, my grandmother still can't figure it out. The Chu State's official character is outstanding and looks no worse than your father. In terms of ability, they are both literary and military, and they are really more promising than Duke of Chu. What do you like about him?"

With a family, only Zhu is willing to marry Chu Xing.

"Okay, grandmother asked him what he did." When Lu Mingyu heard the person she hadn't seen for a long time, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She picked up the needle and thread she had just put down and continued to embroider.

Zhu sighed, "I didn't mention him on purpose. Last night, your grandfather talked to me about the matter in the court, saying that Duke Chu will return to Beijing tomorrow, and the emperor will definitely reward him heavily. Only then did I remember the incident when he came to propose marriage last year." Her husband may be old and never talked about major affairs to her in the court before. In the past two years, he has been sleeping more often. Before going to bed, his husband likes to hold her and talk about trivialities. Zhu doesn't understand a lot, but she likes to listen.

Lu Mingyu's hand shook for no reason. Will Chu Xing arrive in Beijing tomorrow?

The feeling was like the beast that once vowed to catch her suddenly came back. Lu Mingyu's heart, which had been calm for half a year, fluctuated again. Chu Xing's cold and solemn face appeared in his mind, and Chu Xing's majestic appearance of admonishing Chu at any time. When he thought that when he really met Chu Xing, he would definitely look at her with that look and ask her why she refused to marry. Lu Mingyu was immediately worried.

The next day, Lu Mingyu stopped going to his grandmother and hugged in Meiyuan with her book in her arms, unable to leave.

To be honest, Lu Mingyu didn't know what she was nervous about, but she couldn't help but think about it. She told herself not to care too much. Maybe after half a year, Chu Xing had long forgotten the words he sent before he set off, and the next moment, she couldn't help but fantasize about meeting Chu Xing, afraid of his pressure.

"Girl, two girls from the Duke's Mansion are here to visit." Lan Yue picked up the curtain and replied softly.

Ganlu and Longan have been married. Lengyue and Caisang have been promoted to the first-class maid by Lu Mingyu. They are about the same age as Lu Mingyu, but they have been exposed to Meiyuan for so many years and have been able to stand on their own.

Lu Mingyu's heart trembled. If the news about his grandmother was correct, Chu Xing had just entered Beijing in the morning and Chu Ying came in the afternoon. If Chu Ying had no other purpose for this trip, Lu Mingyu would not believe anything. But everyone had arrived, and Lu Mingyu knew it well, he had to open the door to welcome the guests.

"Sister A Nuan, why don't you like to go out recently?" Chu Xiang asked in confusion on the way from the main room to Meiyuan.

Lu Mingyu guessed that Chu Xiang was just accompanying the guest, smiled and pointed to her forehead and said, "I have been recuperating before the New Year. I have only been warmer these days after the New Year. My second sister is going to get out of the box again. I can't bear to leave her, so I didn't go out for a walk."

Chu Xiang nodded in a clear understanding.

Lu Mingyu glanced at Chu Ying secretly, and her eyes turned around. Chu Ying seemed to have been waiting for this moment, smiling at her playfully without hiding her intentions. As the saying goes, she is familiar with her again and again. Her brother likes Sister A Nuan so much. The "recurring offender" Chu Ying is very willing to help her, especially Chu Ying knows that Sister A Nuan will not be really angry with her for this.

Lu Mingyu had a headache.

"Sister A Nuan, my brother really likes you. As soon as he returns home, he asks me to deliver the letter. You can see this letter for his sincerity?" While Chu Xiang is not paying attention, Chu Ying skillfully stuffed a small bamboo tube into Lu Mingyu's hand.

"The last time, next time, Yingying, don't blame me for being cruel." Lu Mingyu frowned and said in a serious manner.

When she returned to Beijing, she found out that Lu Mingyu had realized that Chu Xing was determined and promised to compensate her, she would have to compensate her. Lu Mingyu had never liked to avoid problems blindly. After a while, she would first look at what Chu Xing said in the letter. If Chu Xing insisted on proposing marriage, she would reply and tell him clearly.

After making it clear, Chu Xing used his sister to spread things randomly, and she would never continue to indulge in this kind of private teaching.

She had a tense face, Chu Ying didn't dare to laugh anymore, and nodded nervously.

Lu Mingyu put away the bamboo tube, drank tea for a while, and sent the Chu sisters out. When the guests were sent away, Lu Mingyu bit his lip and went to see his mother. Chu Xing did not want to hide his actions at all, and his mother must have guessed it.

"Chu Xing asked them to come?" Seeing his daughter, Xiao frowned and asked. No mother likes her daughter being entangled by men.

Lu Mingyu looked faint and said with a little disdain: "He asked my sister to ask me if I really wanted to marry. If yes, he respected my meaning."

When Xiao saw his daughter's expression, he knew how her daughter responded. After thinking about it, he decided to forgive Chu Xing for the time being for the time being and stood up to comfort his daughter, "Okay, it's better to let him give up. Even if this matter is over, my mother will find a better one for A Nuan in the future."

"Mom..." Lu Mingyu leaned into his mother's arms and acted coquettishly, "Do you have to marry someone? I don't want to marry anyone now."

Xiao smiled softly and touched his stupid daughter's head.

After dealing with his mother, Lu Mingyu returned to his Meiyuan in a complicated mood and took out Chu Xing's letter.

"Lingzhu Pavilion is a dowry shop for my mother. I have arranged it and I will wait here tomorrow at 10 o'clock, hoping to solve my doubts.

It is helpless to make this bad decision. If I have the intention of being ruthless and slandered, I will punish me to be in a different place in the future and die in a foreign land."

Lu Mingyu's face turned pale.

If she saw the previous sentence, she only felt Chu Xing's domineering and forced force, but the next sentence, she felt the anger that came to her face.

Chu Xing must have been angry. She was angry that she refused his kindness repeatedly. Otherwise, it would be enough that he promised not to bully her. Why should he curse himself like that? Thinking of Chu Xing's death in his previous life, although he was not in a different place, he met a guest and died in a foreign land. Lu Mingyu crushed the letter paper and tore it into pieces.

Who asked him to make such a poisonous oath?

Is he very wronged? He feels that kindness is not understood? Did he still believe that she is infatuated with him?

When he saw it, he wanted to solve the doubts, and she solved his doubts, so that he knew that Lu Mingyu had long forgotten him!

Throwing one hand of scraps into the Gongbu, Lu Mingyu lay on the bed, sulking with his eyes closed.

When he met her, he made a break. Chu Xing insisted on swearing to speak harshly and swearing to show him whom he was wronged? Why would he feel that if he wanted to give her up, he could give her up openly. If he wanted to compensate her, Lu Mingyu must accept his compensation?

"Miss, it's time to have a meal."

"Not to eat!"

After turning over, Lu Mingyu felt angrily and had no appetite at all.

In just two short words, the words were full of fire and medicine. Lan Yue was shocked and rushed in with Caisang to see the situation.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my girl poking her head out of the gauze tent with her hair disheveled, and said calmly: "Prepare water."

When Lan Yue looked at Caisang, she was all at a loss.

When Lu Mingyu saw this, he immediately smiled and secretly warned himself not to be angry.
