Chapter 062: Beloved Courtier, this is the land that I(Imperial) have conquered for you 2.16

Thinking of this, Luo Ling felt that the blood in his body was boiling.

Even the eyes he used to look at Murong Jiu had changed.

There was no longer the previous cold indifference, subconscious rejection and wariness.

It became as gentle as a clear spring, very soft.

Murong Jiu, who had been observing Luo Ling all the time, suddenly stood up straight. Murong Jiu raised his head and straightened his chest, as if he was a soldier under inspection.

His heart was beating intensely.

Murong Jiu knew that the person Luo Ling loved was himself.

Look, Luo Ling’s eyes were filled entirely by himself.

At this moment, the other party even looked at him with such eyes.

Ahhhh, so happy to death!

Murong Jiu, who was so confident in himself to the point of shamelessness and whose body was all tense, didn’t dare to take risks in his expression.

For fear that the person who was staring would have a bad impression of him…

Under the cold moonlight, on the riverbank with the warm yellow shimmer of the lanterns, the man in red robes stood opposite of the man in the dark brocade robe.

They seemed to only have each other in their eyes.

Everything around them turned into nothingness.

That feeling was so wonderful.

Luo Xiang thought that this was probably what the phrase “my whole world is you”.

Really enviable.

Guessing that Murong Jiu might be Ah Jin, Luo Ling also completely forgot about the Second Male Lead, who was still waiting to make his appearance on the banks of the Daming Lake.1

However, Luo Ling, who didn’t know what to say for a while, miraculously stirred the topic back to the plot.

“I wonder how Your Majesty is going to start this war.”

When talking about the state affairs, Murong Jiu raised his eyebrows wantonly, then said, “Beloved Courtier, do you have any good suggestions?”

Although Murong Jiu was asking, his tone was already affirmative.

Luo Ling didn’t keep him in suspense either, “Don’t make the soldiers and the horses go yet. Send over the provisions first. In a month or so, it will be the autumn harvest.”

“There will be a rich harvest everywhere. There are readily available army provisions and the ground is full of gold. During this period, the soldiers only needed to lay an ambush on the Northeast bordering Fengtian, which is considered as the greatest grain producer in the kingdom.”

Stop at where one should.

Like a ‘capturing the ringleader first, in order to capture all his followers’ method.

If cutting down morale was the intention, cut down their food supply first.

Murong Jiu, who understood this in seconds, stroked his palm and looked at Luo Ling with burning eyes.

“How clever ah, how clever ah, Beloved Courtier, you are really Zhen’s treasure2.”

If it was only because of familiarity at the beginning that made him pay more attention to Luo Ling.

After that, there was the overly eye-catching appearance, which aroused Murong Jiu’s desire to conquer.

Then now, he was completely impressed by Luo Ling’s talent.

Murong Jiu could be regarded as understanding what kind of romantic characters those literati and scholars wrote, ‘There’s a good young master among the people, with exceptional talent. He’s magnificent and unparalleled’.(TL: I probably botched the translation here but it means like that.)

The corners of Luo Ling’s lips twitched under Murong Jiu’s praise, then finally suppressed it.

On the side for a while, it was unknown if it was the night or something else, Chuliu Yun’s complexion looked very wrong.

His hands were clenched into fists, as his eyes stared at Luo Ling and Murong Jiu. It was as if he were about to eat these two people.

If one took a closer look, there was something burning hidden in the depths of Chuliu Yun’s eyes.

That was the excitement of discovering its prey.

This time he came to the Fengtian Kingdom, even though he was very unlucky, he also gained a lot.

Such a person with an exquisite mind, if Luo Ling was his, Chuliu Yun’s, unifying the world would just be around the corner.

However, the matter of vital importance now was to go back and lay out a defense.

They actually thought of using the Chuliu Kingdom’s provisions to feed the Fengtian Kingdom soldiers and attack them.

Chuliu Yun had to applaud this strategy.

He took a deep look at the man in red. Chuliu Yun had only encountered him twice, both of which stunned him.

He was looking forward to the third time a little bit.

Chuliu Yun didn’t stay there any longer and quickly left.

Luo Ling inadvertently turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Luo Ling was just about to open his mouth, but there was a sudden rush of heat in his ears.

“Beloved Courtier, it’s getting late, let’s go back to the palace.”

Murong Jiu tentatively put his arms around Luo Ling’s shoulders, then looked at him without blinking. Murong Jiu’s eyes filled with expectation.

Inexplicably, Luo Ling’s brain went in a dirty direction.

His cheeks flushed slightly.
