Xiao Yunyue was reading the military reports of the past few days, feeling a little bored.

Many of the spies in Jinyun City are very well hidden, and most of these spies are from Dayan, so it is difficult to distinguish them based on their appearance.

Secondly, many people have been operating in the city for many years and have completely integrated into the people of the city. When there is no military situation, they are no different from other people in the city.

Although Xiao Yunyue has great prestige in Jinyun City, most people definitely believe in his words. But the more this happens, the more cautious Xiao Yunyue must be when making decisions.

Especially now that the enemy is facing us, arresting people without irrefutable evidence will give people with ill intentions in the city a clue to incite the people. If there is a problem within the city themselves first, it will definitely be an opportunity for outsiders to take advantage of.

Although there were spies hidden in the city, Meng Shu checked a rough list and gave it to Xiao Yunyue. But Xiao Yunyue will not touch these people before getting iron-clad evidence.

But seeing that the war could start at any time, Xiao Yunyue really couldn't feel at ease unless these spies were eliminated in the city.

Especially before he set off, Emperor Jingyuan had told him that the new crossbow arrows developed by the Shaofu Supervisor in the capital had taken shape. Once successfully developed, the first batch of equipment will be given to the border troops in Jinyun City.

With this news in front of him, Xiao Yunyue was even more eager to eliminate the unrest in the city.

He was a little upset about this matter a few days ago, and he also mentioned it in his letter to Yuan Miaoyi. Xiao Yunyue, who is very aware of the intelligence of his sweetheart, also hopes to get some inspiration from Yuan Miaoyi.

Just when he was thinking about when his sweetheart's reply would arrive, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then a soft female voice came: "Brother Yunyue, are you in there?"

Hearing this title, Xiao Yunyue's brows suddenly wrinkled.

However, after he put the military newspaper in his hand in the cabinet, he stood up and opened the door and said, "What's the matter?"

The person who knocked on the door was Fan Wuzhao's youngest daughter. Because Xiao Yunyue spent most of his youth in Jinyun City, Fan Ruyi had been following him since he was a child.

In fact, Xiao Yunyue was more tolerant of Fan Ruyi than other young ladies just for Fan Wuzhao's sake, but in Fan Ruyi's eyes, this tolerance was Xiao Yunyue's special treatment and special affection for her.

Therefore, Fan Ruyi, who has always claimed to be Xiao Yunyue's childhood sweetheart, feels that she is different from other young ladies who admire Xiao Yunyue.

As a result, when Fan Ruyi was still silently hoping that Xiao Yunyue and Guan would propose marriage to her family later, she suddenly learned the news that had almost spread throughout Jinyun City.

Xiao Yunyue already has a sweetheart, and will propose marriage to her after this battle.

In fact, Fan Wuzhao had known for a long time that Xiao Yunyue did not have any romantic feelings for Fan Ruyi. After Fan Ruyi got her hairpin, he also wanted to arrange a marriage for her many times.

But first of all, Fan Ruyi is his youngest daughter after all. Whenever this matter is mentioned, Fan Ruyi is unwilling and cries a lot, which makes him unable to bear it.

Secondly, Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Fan also felt that Xiao Yunyue respected Fan Wuzhao after all, and it was not impossible for Fan Ruyi to marry Xiao Yunyue, so both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law acquiesced to Fan Ruyi's reluctance in this matter.

Under the circumstances, Fan Wuzhao simply put down his hand, thinking that Fan Ruyi was still young after all, and when Xiao Yunyue made a marriage decision, he would naturally give up.

So Fan Ruyi, who had just learned the news, felt like a bolt from the blue, because just by looking at the pair of armbands that Xiao Yunyue wore every day as a gift from his sweetheart, he knew that this person could not be him.

It's just that after so many years of love and the long-standing self-esteem, Fan Ruyi couldn't give up completely just by hearing a piece of news.

Fan Ruyi thought and cried at home for several days, and finally made up her mind to give it one last try.

Xiao Yunyue has not yet decided to get married, so the matter is not yet a foregone conclusion. And his sweetheart didn't come with him. If...Fan Ruyi believed that Xiao Yunyue would be responsible for her.

After all, how can a beauty thousands of miles away be as good as the one who is pregnant with her right now?

So with the last glimmer of hope, Fan Ruyi asked her family to make Xiao Yunyue's favorite snacks in the past and personally delivered them to the Hou Mansion.

Most of the servants in Xiao Yunyue's mansion in Jinyun City are local people and did not follow Xiao Yunyue from Shengjing.

Nanguan happened to go out to do errands for Xiao Yunyue today and was not in the mansion, so no one stopped Fan Ruyi, allowing her to go all the way to Xiao Yunyue's study without any hindrance.

Xiao Yunyue had actually forgotten that there was a person like Fan Ruyi. It was only after hearing this title that he suddenly remembered who she was.

He didn't care what others called him before. At that time, some people in Jinyun City called him Young Master and some called him Eldest Young Master.

Besides, Xiao Yunyue spent most of his time in Jinyun City crawling around in the military camp, and Fan Ruyi was just a child at that time. No one would think of going anywhere else after hearing this title.

Fan Ruyi looked at Xiao Yunyue, who was a bit more heroic than in her memory, and felt that even with his impatient expression, he looked better than an ordinary man.

With blushing cheeks, she raised the food box in her hand and said, "I made the pastries you loved to eat at home, and my father asked me to bring them to you."

After speaking, Fan Ruyi looked curiously at the closed study behind Xiao Yunyue and said, "Can you let me go in and have a look?"

Of course it won't work.

Xiao Yunyue's study was full of secret reports. In the past, he and Nanguan took turns cleaning it, and no servants in the mansion could easily access it.

For Fan Wuzhao's sake, Xiao Yunyue still took the food box from Fan Ruyi's hand. But before Fan Ruyi could jump for joy, Xiao Yunyue said with a straight face: "Don't approach my study at will in the future. If anything happens, ask the concierge to report to me first."

Fan Ruyi's smile froze, as if she couldn't believe that Xiao Yunyue would say such things to her. If she has to be greeted by a concierge when she comes in, what is the difference between her and an ordinary guest?

Xiao Yunyue didn't care what she was thinking. Except for Princess Jinyang and Yuan Miaoyi, he didn't bother to guess what ordinary young ladies were thinking, so he continued: "Also, don't call me brother Yunyue in the future. Call me Hou." Master or official position."

Fan Ruyi was really about to cry now. She had always regarded Xiao Yunyue's permission to call her like this as a difference to her. She didn't expect that after coming to the door today, she would even be deprived of the right to call him.

In the past, everyone was young. It doesn’t feel like it’s a big deal to call it that. But now that Xiao Yunyue has become more familiar with the relationship between men and women, he naturally feels that such a title is inappropriate.

He also thought that he would bring Yuan Miaoyi to Youzhou when he got married. Then his sweetheart would hear this title. What would that mean?

It happened that Nanguan walked in at this time, holding a letter in his hand. Xiao Yunyue recognized the fire paint on the letter that belonged to Yuan Miaoyi from a distance.

At that moment, she ignored Fan Ruyi, who was about to cry. She walked down a few steps and took the letter from Nanguan's hand, and then ordered Nanguan to see off the guests without raising her head.

When Nanguan saw Fan Ruyi here, he roughly guessed what happened. He thought that he would tell the concierge not to let people in at will. At this moment, Xiao Yunyue did not get angry because of Fan Wuzhao's sake, but it would be hard to say if this happened again in the future.

As Xiao Yunyue's closest confidant, Nan Guanli was very aware of Xiao Yunyue's feelings for Yuan Miaoyi. With Xiao Yunyue's character, with Yuan Miaoyi, he would never see another woman in his eyes.

What's more, if Xiao Yunyue had been interested in Fan Ruyi for a long time, why would he wait until now? Fan Ruyi simply imagined that Xiao Yunyue treated her differently.
