Chapter 1193

Lu Yourong, upon hearing Gao Yang's name, had her beautiful eyes pause and dim a little, but it flashed away and turned back to normal.

She lowered her head and ate her rice silently.

"Yourong, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Zhen was just pondering, and when he looked at Lu Yourong, he noticed something was wrong and asked.

"Grandfather, Yourong is fine."

Lu Yourong shook her head and replied. Just when Lu Zhen was about to continue questioning, Wu Guang walked up from outside the mansion.

"Wu Guang pays respects to Old General Lu!"

Lu Zhen saw Wu Guang and was a bit surprised. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Does the Gao family kid have something for me?"

Wu Guang said respectfully: "Lord Gao took the initiative to ask to accompany the army on the expedition, so His Majesty conferred upon Lord Gao the title of Piao Yao Captain. He can select eight hundred personal guards in Changancheng to protect his safety, so Lord Gao ordered me to come here. I ask Old General Lu to move to the Zuo Wei Guard camp so that Lord Gao can select personal guards."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhen was stunned.

"This Gao family kid treasures his own life like anything, yet he took the initiative to ask to accompany the army on the expedition?"

But immediately, Lu Zhen said somewhat enviously, "His grandfather Gao Tianlong has fought more battles than he has seen women, so what does he have to worry about?"

"But this brat is not that vicious. The name of poisonous strategist following him is really a waste."

Seeing this, Wu Guang touched his nose and didn't speak, just waiting for Lu Zhen's follow-up.

After Lu Zhen sighed twice, he said, "I will arrive at the camp in a while and personally select elites for him."

Wu Guang bowed, "Thank you, Old General Lu!"

Subsequently, Wu Guang left with big strides.

Lu Zhen said to the old servant on the side, "Get my armor; I am going to the camp."

The old servant went down, and Lu Zhen also got up, preparing to leave.

But at this time.

Lu Yourong suddenly got up and called out to Lu Zhen from behind, "Grandfather."

Lu Zhen looked back, looking puzzled, "Yourong, what's wrong?"

Lu Yourong raised her beautiful eyes and spoke to Lu Zhen with determination.

"Grandfather, since Lord Gao wants to select personal guards, they must be elites in the army. Yourong asks Grandfather to arrange it secretly; I also want to accompany the army on the expedition and follow Gao Yang on the expedition against the Xiongnu!"

These words made Lu Zhen's expression shocked.

He suddenly scolded, "Nonsense!"

"Yourong, do you know how dangerous the battlefield is? How cruel the Xiongnu's methods are? Do you think this is child's play?"

Lu Zhen exploded, his face full of anger.

After all, he is an old general in the army, having killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This murderous aura suddenly swept out, and the power was extremely terrifying.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been trembling in their legs long ago, but Lu Yourong did not give in at all. Facing Lu Zhen's piercing gaze, she said: "Sun Nu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and my art of killing enemies is not weaker than the elites in the army. Why can't I go?"

Lu Zhen's molars were aching with anger.

But he understood the reason.

He lowered his voice and said to Lu Yourong, "Yourong, is it for this Gao family kid? Are you worried about his safety, so you want to accompany the army on the expedition?"

Lu Yourong, upon hearing this, did not speak.

Just a pair of clear eyes stared at Lu Zhen, her red lips pressed tightly.

This attitude explained everything.

Lu Zhen's old face was extremely colorful. At this moment, he wished he could crush Gao Yang's eggs!

He originally thought that nothing happened last time and the two didn't have much intersection, so there would be no more entanglement, but now it seems that his own granddaughter has fallen quite deeply!

What a sin!

But he knew very well what kind of temperament his granddaughter had.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade, "Yourong, there are thousands of men in the world. What is so good about this Gao Yang brat? Even if he used my Lu family's ancestral prescription, he is still very weak. This is known to the entire Changancheng, which shows his kidney deficiency!"

Lu Yourong was unmoved.

Lu Zhen, seeing this, said again, "Since you like this Gao family kid, you naturally know his temperament. The number of people in the entire Changancheng who can enter his heart is no more than the number of fingers on one hand."

"And the Gao family kid is extremely fickle. He doesn't refuse the Second Princess of Chu, and he doesn't refuse the beauties sent by the First Prince of Zhao. Even Lord Shangguan, it was that night when she was held hostage by the Heartless Sect, and she exchanged her life for his, that she entered this brat's heart. Wasn't she also played in the palm of this brat's hand before?"

"Yourong, it's not that your grandfather is hitting you, but that kid really doesn't like you, and you can't enter his heart. There are thousands of things in the world, and everything can be forced, but only feelings cannot be forced."

"Yourong, can you understand what your grandfather means?"

Lu Zhen was earnest and well-meaning. To be able to persuade a rough man like him to this point, he really tried his best.

And these words were very heart-wrenching. They were all seen by an old general who had insight into human hearts, but for the sake of Lu Yourong, he had no choice.

Lu Yourong, upon hearing this, had her beautiful eyes turn red. Water mist gathered in her lively eyes, but she still stared at Lu Zhen, her lips pressed tightly, her face full of stubbornness.

"But what if I insist on forcing it?"
