At this time, it comes in handy.

But there were not a few people in ambush. Liu yuanzhan resisted for a while. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he deliberately let them go.

Immediately, a thief approached the prisoner's cage. After the black cloth was lifted, the thief was stunned and turned his head and shouted, "I've been tricked. King Luo is not here!"

As soon as the voice fell, he was pierced in the throat by a sword. He just widened his eyes in vain and rolled down from the carriage.

The thieves heard the roar in this life. The leader took a look out of the cage, bit his teeth, and said a rude sentence: "Damn, I've been tricked."

"Withdraw -"

"Dad doesn't need to tangle with many thieves. When the thieves find that the bandit in custody is not king Luo, they will leave. At that time, another team sent by dad should have successfully escorted King Luo to Beijing."

Liu yuanzhan looked at the escaped thief and thought of Liu Ruyan's words. He couldn't help smiling.

He didn't know that his daughter was still an expert in the art of war. This move was a reliable one.

"Don't chase the poor bandits, let's go back to Beijing first." Liu yuanzhan didn't chase them, but let the gang of thieves withdraw and return to the capital with people.

"Good!" just after Liu yuanzhan, who successfully escorted King Luo back from the hall, finished reporting, Lian Chengming clapped his hands and stood up happily, even though he gave Liu yuanzhan a big reward.

"It's not easy for General Liu to go through life and death on the way to escort King Luo. It's hard to seal General Liu as a first-class national Duke. He is a very first-class official. I hope you will do your best and continue to be loyal to the country."

As soon as Liancheng Ming's words were spoken, Liu yuanzhan immediately knelt down, "thank you, your majesty. I should devote myself to the country."

"Long live my emperor long live --"

He knelt down and Qin kang'an looked very ugly.

Originally, Liu yuanzhan was just a general. Without military power, he would be nothing. Now he has been granted the Duke of Dingguo by Lian Chengming. Isn't that going to compete with him in the court?

However, Qin Kangan had no reason to protest at all. He had to eat the dumb loss secretly and couldn't say a word.

"A bunch of rubbish!" after the meeting, Qin Kangan took the boy and scolded himself as he walked.

The emperor's wings are hard. He wants to fly by himself. It was not easy to deal with. Now there is another dingguogong. Won't he be more passive in the court in the future.

"Go, don't hurry out of the palace, go and see our so-called ally first."

Originally, I wanted to get rid of the scourge of Liu yuanzhan through King Luo, but I didn't expect to capsize the ship.

At this time, King Luo was lonely and became a prisoner. There was no room for struggle.

His clothes were ragged and his lips were black and purple. When he saw Qin kang'an coming, he immediately stood up, pointed at Qin kang'an angrily and said, "you little man, you have no faith, but you still have the face to see me!"

"Your Highness King Luo, don't worry first." Qin Kangan looked fearless. Originally, King Luo was a chess piece. Now that King Luo has lost, it has become an abandoned chess piece. Why should he care too much.

Qin Kangan went to the front of the prison door, leaned over to look at King Luo, and said, "look at our wise king Luo, who was planted in the hands of a small general."

"Your Highness, don't blame me. I tried my best, but all the assassins failed."

"It's not that I don't save you. I really can't help it."

With a look of regret, Qin kang'an shook his head.

In a hurry, King Luo grabbed Qin Kangan's collar and startled the little boy around Qin Kangan. "What should I do now? You have to find a way to get me out. We are a grasshopper on a ship now. I am a prisoner, and you have no good fruit to eat!"

Qin kang'an waved his hand and signaled the boys around him not to be nervous. He just flicked the back of King Luo's hand with his fingers, broke free and stepped back a few steps, saying, "since your highness says so, don't blame the king."

"Come on."

Qin Kangan held out his hand to the young man behind him. The young man took a bottle of medicine in his hand. Qin Kangan put on a sneer at the corners of his mouth. He only heard Qin Kangan say coldly: "Your Highness, it's easy to go all the way."

Soon, King Luo was found dead in prison and poisoned.

Qin Kangan had already left the palace and returned to the palace.

Liu Ruyan is having a full meal. After dinner, he takes hong'er outside as a snack.

With a happy face, hong'er held Liu Ruyan in one hand, and kept talking: "madam, we are blessed."

"King Luo successfully escorted us back to Beijing. In terms of merit, our general is the first one. In the morning, your majesty just sealed our general as a first-class Duke, and he will be a Duke from now on!"

"The empress will be the daughter of the Duke of the country in the future. Her status is higher than that of the empress lifeI."

Hong'er was wordy and happy, and her steps were much lighter.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing and said, "the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility. I'm afraid my father will have to bear more in the future."

After a slight sigh, Liu Ruyan continued, "you should only be loyal to your duty, be careful in your words and deeds, not for merit, but for no fault."

Listening to Liu Ruyan's slightly sad words, hong'er also kept silent and stopped talking.

Walking all the way out of the imperial garden, there is the cold palace in front.

To Liu Ruyan's surprise, the cold palace is already under repair.

The craftsmen inside seem to have been here for many days. The cold palace looks much better than before, but it hasn't been repaired yet. I think it will take some time.

"When did it start, but I don't know what your majesty ordered?" Liu Ruyan muttered to himself, asked a few words, and took hong'er forward.

Hong'er just shook her head and said she didn't know why the cold palace began to be repaired.

Since I have come, I naturally want to go in and have a look. I don't know what the cold palace looks like.

However, not long after I went in, I turned a corner with hong'er and saw a familiar face.

It was the woman I met in Lenggong last time. At this time, the woman was sitting in the middle of the courtyard. She was still dressed in white, ragged and old.

Barefoot, he didn't even wear shoes. He was sitting cross legged on the ground, raising his hand and facing the sun above his head. He seemed to be basking in the sun, but he looked leisurely.

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment. As soon as the woman looked back, she saw Liu Ruyan, as if she had found something new. At one glance, the woman's eyes lit up and ran towards Liu Ruyan.
