Shi Li couldn't even feel such a strong atmosphere of lingering ambiguity. This man was hopeless. Doctor Lu shook his head and refused to talk to Shi Li, a straight man. Shi Li's emotional intelligence was not as good as that of his apprentice Wang Kun. I guess he , not even as good as Black Wing... Didn’t you see that Black Wing guy, since he came back with the county lord, he didn’t dare to move forward? Isn’t this intentional to give the two of them space to get along? Now the two of them have finally come to terms with each other after all the hardships. Tongtong, can't they be reluctant to part and care about each other? When the incident in Kyoto City is over, they should also get married. Although Yunluan's body is severely damaged, it cannot recuperate. These days, for Yunluan's Regarding his body, he had put a lot of effort into developing some pills for gynecological treatment. After the pills were developed, he asked Yun Luan to take them. After taking them for a year and a half, it was not impossible for her to become pregnant. In short, with him With this Nanchu miracle doctor here, he would not let the prince have no children, nor would Yun Luan be infertile for life. The miracle doctor Lu shook his shoulders, squinted his eyes and smiled with confidence. Naturally, Yun Luan and Xiao Tingyan didn't know The road genius healed their little thoughts. The two of them were reluctant to leave at the temple, telling each other to be careful, and then they completely parted ways... One went to Ningyuan Temple, and the other took the people into Kyoto. They had just reunited, and they had to go their separate ways... After they separated, Yun Luan still felt a little melancholy after entering Kyoto. She clearly understood that now she was more worried about Xiao Tingyan in her heart. Yun Luan turned over and dismounted absentmindedly, and stepped onto the door steps of the General's Mansion. When the guards of the General's Mansion saw Yun Luan back, they all shouted in great surprise: "Ah, County Lord, are you back?"

"That's great, hurry up and inform Madam and Master."

Only then did Yun Luan come back to her senses and smiled faintly at them. Unexpectedly, before she had time to see Mrs. Liu, as soon as she stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, the Imperial Guards carrying weapons and swords took over the General's Mansion. They were completely surrounded. There were several layers inside and outside. As if they were afraid that the people inside would escape... Yun Luan's face darkened, she clenched her fists and looked at the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard who came from outside the door: "I just returned from suppressing bandits in Yongzhou, and I still had time to take a breath. I wonder which song you are singing?"

The deputy leader of the Imperial Guard had red lips and white teeth, and was very delicate. He smiled at Yun Luan, clasped his fists towards Yun Luan very politely, and performed a military salute: "My Han Zhao, I have met the Lord of Taiping County."

"The county leader went to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits this time. He used his troops like a god and wiped out the bandits without even using a single soldier. We are full of admiration for the county leader... I had never had the opportunity to meet the county leader before. , it is really an honor for Han to meet the county master today."

Yun Luan raised his eyebrows impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to show off and say such nonsense."

After the death of Zhao Qinghuai, the emperor chose Han Zhao, a young talent who had just been promoted to deputy commander. He came from a poor family, had no background, and had no family. He could rely on no one but the emperor. This is why the emperor valued Han Zhao. Without any support, this person could only rely on him to be promoted. He was naturally loyal to him and had no second thoughts. So these days, he attaches great importance to Han Zhao. , whenever there was an errand, he would go directly to Huo Jun and order Han Zhao to do it. Han Zhao was now a popular person around the emperor. Seeing Yun Luan's impatient look, Han Zhao did not continue to ask for trouble to please Yun Luan. He straightened his back and said businesslikely: "Last night, King Yan was assassinated, and now his life and death are unknown. The Emperor is worried that those enemies will come to the General's Mansion to seek revenge, so he ordered us to come and protect everyone in the General's Mansion."

"The county master successfully suppressed the bandits and made great military exploits. This is the grace given by the emperor to everyone in the general's mansion... Please also ask the county master not to misunderstand the emperor's good intentions. Just live in the general's mansion with peace of mind. From now on, I am responsible for all security issues in the General's Mansion."

Yun Luan now understood that the emperor was afraid of Xiao Tingyan and deliberately used this statement to control the people in the general's palace so that he could threaten Xiao Tingyan at the critical moment. Also, the assassination attempt by Longwei failed last night, and the emperor's plan was thwarted. Well, you have to grab some handle to make yourself feel at ease. Doesn't the marriage between the General's Mansion and Xiao Tingyan become a handle for the emperor to control the king of banquet? Yun Luan raised his eyebrows, smiled in a low voice, but didn't say anything else. She didn't panic. At this time, the people in the General's Mansion only needed to remain silent. Anyway, they were here and couldn't run anywhere, so they might as well just wait and see what would happen. Thinking of Xiao Tingyan's plan, Yun Luan's eyebrows flashed. Relaxing. She glanced at Han Zhao and warned in a low voice: "Since it is the emperor's order, you can send people to guard the general's mansion... we people in the general's mansion just obey. The only thing is, your people are not allowed to harm the general's mansion. Anyone. Otherwise, if someone from the General's Mansion hurts a hair, I, the County Lord, will only ask you."

Yun Luan's whole body was filled with a strong aura of violence. This was the intimidating aura that a general exuded unconsciously. Han Zhao couldn't help but straighten his back and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, County Lord, I've received the call My order is to protect the people in the General's Mansion. Naturally, my men will not go beyond my orders and do anything to harm the people in the General's Mansion."

"If someone really disobeys my order, I will kill or chop him into pieces at that time. Please do as you please."

Yun Luan received Han Zhao's promise and ignored him again, turned around and left. Han Zhao stood at the door, staring at her leaving figure, and murmured in a low voice: "As expected of someone who has been on the battlefield and led troops to kill the enemy. This woman's aura throughout her body is really unmatched by ordinary people."

He has always been in awe of the General's Mansion. Even though he now works for the emperor and feels a little like his own master, he still has his own weight in his heart. Yun Luan entered the inner courtyard and saw Aunt Yan supporting Liu Madam Liu came over in a hurry. Yun Luan stepped forward, and Mrs. Liu hugged Yun Luan tightly into her arms. "Luan'er... it's really great that you can come back safely."

"How is Qing'er doing now? How is her body recovering?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help it, and a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Yun Luan took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She held Mrs. Liu's arm and returned to the hall. Aunt Yan was busy and asked people to serve refreshments quickly. , the county boss may be thirsty and hungry. He is so tired from the journey, so he needs to take a good rest. Yun Luan asked Liu to sit down, and then replied: "The third sister's condition has stabilized. She just needs to take good care of her injuries. That's it... Mother doesn't have to worry, Mr. Zhou is taking care of her in Yongzhou, and with Mr. Zhou here, there will be no danger for the third sister."

Thinking of Zhou Tong, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but squint her eyes and smile. "That kid really likes Qing'er. Otherwise, Yongzhou is so dangerous, he wouldn't have gone there without hesitation. I'm afraid he has experienced a lot of dangers during this trip. Right? He's not a person without martial arts skills..." Yun Luan naturally nodded repeatedly: "No, he was almost tied up and killed by bandits. Fortunately, by some mistake, Mr. Zhou was reunited with us."

Mrs. Liu held Yun Luan's hand and listened to her talk about the thrilling things that happened in Yongzhou. After a while, Yun Feng, Chen Yonghe, and sister-in-law Yun Huai also came. The family met and everyone hugged each other. Yun Luan. After that, they sat together and had a meal. Yun Huai began to show off to Yun Luan some of the martial arts he had learned these days. A bit of surprise flashed through Yun Luan's eyes: "How can Xiao Wu's martial arts be so good in a short time?" Have you improved so much?"

Yun Huai lay next to her ear mysteriously and replied with a smile: "Of course it's the credit of my fourth brother-in-law."

Yun Luan was stunned and didn't react for a long time. "Fourth brother-in-law?"

The sister-in-law couldn't help but chuckle: "He's talking about King Yan. Since you went to Yongzhou, all the people in our General's Mansion have been under the care of King Yan. King Yan not only invited Mr. Wu to teach Yunhuai, but also gave you Second brother also invited me."

"Your second brother can now hold a sword with his left hand and has fought with the guards in the palace for more than ten times."

Yun Feng smiled and nodded in agreement: "The guards in this mansion are almost no match for me. The master invited by King Yan is very capable. He can't hold a sword with his right hand, so he only uses his left hand. A master of martial arts."

Yun Luan looked at Yun Feng, and the gloom between his eyebrows and eyes was swept away. His smile now was much brighter than before. These days, the changes in her second brother surprised her the most. She was inexplicably moved. In the past, The confident second brother seemed to be back. She didn't expect that King Yan had done so much for the General's Mansion secretly. She couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Why didn't he tell me this..." Chen Yonghe patted her Hands, eyes full of gratified smiles: "Because of this, we can see that King Yan really loves you. Some people just talk but don't do anything... But King Yan, although he doesn't say anything, He said it, but secretly did many, many things. He sincerely regarded all the people in our general's residence as his family."

Mrs. Liu sighed and her eyes could not help but turn slightly red. "I was sick a few days ago, and King Yan personally fed me soup and medicine and took care of my recovery. Luan'er, there are really not many gentle and considerate men like King Yan. You have to cherish it well."

"He has also endured a lot of hardships over the years. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up hard in the turbulent times, with open and covert attacks. Maybe family love is really very precious to him. That's why he will treat us Everyone in the General's Mansion takes such good care of them. We can't treat them badly in the future."

"We can't just ask others to give, but we blindly ask for it...When you are fine, you should also pay more attention to him. Although he is a man, he also needs close care and care."

Yun Luan really didn't expect that Xiao Tingyan had done so much in secret. For a moment, she felt grateful, guilty, and a little missed. Not long after they separated, she missed him a little. She looked towards Ms. Liu nodded slowly: "Don't worry, mother, King Yan treats me so sincerely, and I will definitely not let him down."

Ms. Liu nodded and smiled, and asked everyone to eat quickly. The family, except Yun Qing, had a rare reunion dinner. Soon after the meal, Yun Luan went back to Luanfeng Pavilion to wash up and change clothes. Just when she was about to go to bed and rest for a while, suddenly the palace The person who came here said that the emperor had summoned her to the palace. The emperor was filled with anger and lowered his eyes to look at Cao Rong, who was kneeling in front of him as he begged for sin. "One hundred dragon guards can't defeat two hundred." Black Feather Guard? Cao Rong, what are you doing? I asked you to take charge of the Dragon Guard organization, not just to be a decoration... If you can't handle such a small thing, what use do I need you for?"

He was so angry that he swept down the things on the table next to him. With a loud clatter, all the teacups and teapots fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Some of the porcelain fragments hit the back of Cao Rong's hand, and he couldn't avoid it. However, he was stabbed by those fragments. He endured the pain on the back of his hand and bowed his head to plead guilty. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't expect that King Yan could actually do martial arts. His martial arts are not inferior to those of my subordinates." ...My subordinates were unable to capture him in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, during the struggle, Princess Mingyue was killed by mistake."

"I was afraid that the common people would discover some clues after dawn. In order not to reveal my identity, I returned without success..." A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes: "What did you say? You said that King Banquet knows martial arts. And not under you? How is this possible... He has been weak and sick since he was a child. In these years, he has spent most of his time in Kyoto, and he has always been under my nose. How could I not know that he can do martial arts? "

Cao Rong's scalp was numb, and he couldn't bear the emperor's thunderous wrath. But there were some things that he had to report truthfully. "King Yan...he has been hiding his clumsiness for these years. He is taking advantage of his frailty and illness, Blinded His Majesty's eyes. Originally, if he was weak and sick, his subordinates would have been completely confident that they could kill him within half an hour. But he...his martial arts was so outstanding that his subordinates could not even hurt him. Not even the slightest bit..." "Not only that, when the black feather guards under him fought with the dragon guards, although they were somewhat defeated by the dragon guards, their fighting power was also very strong, and their large number... this We have no chance of winning this assassination. Your Majesty, your subordinates were careless before and did not plan well... Please give your subordinates another chance to make up for their mistakes."

The emperor was extremely angry. Over the years, he had been deceived by Xiao Tingyan. He had always believed that Xiao Tingyan was very weak and that as long as he wanted to take action, he could kill him completely. In order to consolidate his power and regain the people's support, he had They all restrained themselves and stopped moving Xiao Tingyan for the time being. Unexpectedly, when he tried to move Xiao Tingyan, he was unable to kill him. On the surface, he could not deal with Xiao Tingyan at will, but secretly, Long Wei could not successfully assassinate him. The emperor said Time, one first and two big. The most important thing is that now Xiao Tingyan is investigating the truth about the death of the late emperor and Concubine Chen. According to Long Wei's report, Xiao Tingyan has mastered most of the real evidence. If he is allowed to continue to investigate , I am afraid that Xiao Tingyan will expose him after he has concealed so many truths. No, he absolutely cannot let Xiao Tingyan continue to investigate like this. He looked at Cao Rong with cold eyebrows: "Where is King Yan now?"

"He did not enter Kyoto, but seemed to be heading towards Ningyuan Temple."

Cao Rong replied truthfully. The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Ningyuan Temple...isn't that where the Queen Mother lives?"

"What's he doing there?"

Cao Rong gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe I want to ask the Queen Mother about the truth about the death of the late Emperor and Concubine Chen. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... she has lived in seclusion in Ningyuan Temple these years. She has not enjoyed the good fortune and wealth, but she has to eat fast and pray to Buddha. , living such a poor life. Is there any hidden secret behind this? "

The emperor's face turned livid. He sat in an armchair in a daze and replied lonely: "There is indeed a hidden secret. When the Queen Mother found out about the things I did back then, she lost her temper. If not everything was gone. Once the dust has settled... I'm afraid she will kill her relatives out of righteousness and expose what I have done."

"She has been eating fast and chanting Buddha in Ningyuan Temple all these years, just to use it to eliminate the sins I have committed. When she left, she told me that we would never see each other again in this life... She would treat me as her son."

The emperor couldn't help but smile coldly. "I don't know what she thinks. Even the former emperor didn't love her, but she had a soft spot for him... She treated that noble concubine Chen with utmost respect. In her heart, it seemed that my son, Compared with them, it is nothing worth mentioning. As my son, I tried my best to give her the best, but she abandoned him, which is not surprising at all."

"Many times, I wonder if I am her son... But my appearance is so similar to hers. How could I not be her son? If not, she was my biological mother, I would have long..." He didn't spit out the next words. Cao Rong did understand what he meant. He pursed his thin lips and didn't respond. The emperor didn't know how long he thought about it, and he told Cao Rong in a deep voice: "Take someone with you immediately and rush there. Ningyuan Temple...if you can't stop King Yan, then stop the Queen Mother."

Cao Rong was startled. He raised his head and looked at the emperor, not understanding what he meant. "Your Majesty, what is your maximum limit for stopping the Queen Mother?"

"If she doesn't listen to your advice, insists on going her own way, and wants to go against me. You don't have to worry about her being my biological mother. Just do whatever you want."

A hint of bloodthirsty dark light flashed across the emperor's eyes, and he spoke word by word. Cao Rong's heart was filled with turmoil. Does the emperor mean to... kill his biological mother? This emperor's heart is really cruel. In order to become the emperor, he ruthlessly killed the late emperor. Now, seeing that the queen mother was threatening his position, he wanted to kill the queen mother again? I wonder what the queen mother would think when she knew about this? Cao Rong hid his eyes. Horrified, he responded in a low voice. He immediately left the imperial study, left the palace, and headed for Ningyuan Temple. Not long after Cao Rong left, Eunuch Zhou announced outside: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Taiping County is here..." The emperor's eyes flickered. , a bit of coldness flashed across his eyes. He responded: "Let her come in."

He sat behind the desk and raised his eyes to look at Yun Luan who was stepping in from outside the door. He hadn't seen him for more than half a month, so why did he feel that Yun Luan was a little more murderous than before. This kind of momentum, in the A long, long time ago, he seemed to have seen Yun Fuqing. She was indeed Yun Fuqing's daughter, and her whole body and spirit were inherited from the same origin. If she were to lead the army in war, I'm afraid she would be able to shoulder this important task. Yun Luan stepped forward and saluted the emperor. The emperor asked her to excuse herself with a gentle look, and then gave her a seat... He looked at Yun Luan's exquisite and beautiful face, and asked with a smile: "The Lord of Taiping County is going to Yongzhou to suppress the army this time. It can be said that the bandits successfully wiped out the mountain bandits without spending a single soldier. I should remember your merits and reward you with some military merits..." Yun Luan lowered his eyebrows and expressed extremely humbly. "These are all ministers. What a woman should do... The great victory this time is also due to those soldiers. If your Majesty is so willing, then reward the soldiers."

The emperor raised his head and laughed loudly. He looked particularly cheerful and tolerant. "Hahaha, the soldiers should also be rewarded. I will never forget the contribution of each of you. You are worthy of being the daughter of the general of the country. This is the daughter of the general." You have achieved such great success by leading troops to suppress bandits in one go, but you don't know that the people of Kyoto City are singing and dancing for you now. If I don't express my gratitude in the slightest, I'm afraid those people won't be happy."

"The support you have gained from the people now is stronger than before. Lord Taiping County, you can achieve this at such a young age, and your future is limitless."

Yun Luan didn't hesitate at all, and directly pursed his lips and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty... This still depends on your Majesty's ability to mobilize troops and generals. If it is not Your Majesty, trust me and let me lead the troops to suppress the bandits. My daughter. How could we have the opportunity to achieve such military exploits?"

The emperor raised his lips and smiled. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for many days, Yun Luan also understood and said these scene words to him. Oh, is this because he is afraid of his majesty as the emperor? "Speaking of military exploits, I remembered one thing. It seems that a man named Shen Congshan played a big role in suppressing the bandits this time..." The emperor stared at Yun Luan's eyebrows and asked in a low voice. There was a hint of darkness in Yun Luan's eyes, and she guessed When they arrive, the emperor will ask about Shen Congshan. It seems that Shen Congshan did not lie. When Xiao Xuanrui went to Jinzhou, the emperor must have been secretly taking care of them. The emperor actually knew that Shen Congshan went to Yongzhou. Then did he know Do you know that this bandit has a cooperative relationship with Xiao Xuanrui? Yun Luan really wanted to ask, but she resisted the impulse, suppressed the anger in her heart, and continued to play Tai Chi with the emperor. "Oh, the emperor is talking about Shen Cong. Mountain... I have indeed met him. He had no power to tie a chicken, but with his proficiency in poison techniques, he successfully eliminated the two bandit leaders Long Hao and Qin Ming... If we talk about merit, he can indeed The power of fortune-telling."

The emperor gradually lost his patience: "I don't know, where is the other person? I heard that it was you who had him captured?"

Yun Luan quickly waved his hand and explained: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. How could I capture a meritorious person? Shen Congshan has no martial arts skills. I was afraid that he would be in danger, so I asked someone to escort him back to Kyoto City... Just like now, Your Majesty wants to protect the people in our General's Mansion and lets the Imperial Guard surround our General's Mansion."
