The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

"Mr. Li has indeed risen to prominence thanks to the kindness of His Majesty, but in my opinion, he does not seem to have any outstanding qualities, except that he is slightly better in writing. Besides, the matter of Xunyang Academy has not yet been properly resolved!"

At this moment, Lan Wangshu's fox eyes, which were originally full of smiles and charm, actually revealed a trace of barely perceptible murderous intent.

"My dear ministers, you don't know this!" She changed the subject and said, "Here are the files related to the Xunyang Academy case. Your Majesty, please take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Wangshu gently held up the file with both hands. Lai Fu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stepped forward, took it, and handed it respectfully to Chen Yanshu.

This young and promising emperor slowly flipped through the files in his hands, his face as calm as water, making it difficult to guess his true emotions.

"Your Majesty, Xunyang Academy is just a trivial matter, but the Patrol Office has spent so much time investigating it, and its efficiency is really low. In my humble opinion, it would be better to simply ban it." Lan Wangshu made the suggestion while the iron was hot.

However, no one expected that Chen Yanshu would suddenly slam the file to the ground. This sudden action shocked everyone present, and they knelt down in panic and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Facing the ministers' pleas for mercy, Chen Yanshu's face was extremely gloomy, as if it were a pool of stagnant water without any ripples. He glanced at everyone with cold eyes and asked sternly: "The case of Xunyang Academy may seem insignificant on the surface, but in fact it has involved various forces in the martial arts world. Could it be that in your eyes, such a thing is not a big deal?"

Chen Yanshu was so angry that his blood was churning. He clenched his teeth tightly and used all his strength to hold back the blood that was about to gush out.

"Your Majesty! This time I was ordered to investigate the case with Lord Li. The murderer confessed an evil object that can manipulate people's minds. Now, this object has appeared in our Dazhao. What's worse, someone secretly offered a price twice as high as the normal market price, deceiving the people to give up farming and instead plant this evil thing. Now, many people no longer grow crops." After hearing these words, Chen Yanshu's face became paler as paper. He laughed in anger, and his eyes shot straight at the person who spoke like sharp swords.

"Is this the trivial matter that the Minister of the Chancellery mentioned? Humph, if that's the case, then let the Minister of the Chancellery handle this matter personally! If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, you don't have to cling to the position of Minister of the Chancellery any longer. Withdrew from the court!"

Chen Yanshu was wearing a black robe with fluttering sleeves. He waved his arms gently, and the golden dragon embroidered with gold thread on his cuffs seemed to come alive, ready to spread its wings and fly into the sky. Seeing this, the Minister of Personnel was terrified and hurriedly bowed his head. His body was shaking, and he didn't even dare to breathe, let alone speak.

After the court was dismissed, Lan Wangshu hurried back to his mansion to discuss the diplomatic mission with Lai Qianer.

"This mission is difficult, and you must not take it lightly! I heard that the King of Qin of Daiyue has ulterior motives and ill intentions." Lai Qian'er reminded him solemnly. Lan Wangshu nodded in understanding, indicating that he knew it well, but his eyes were always fixed on Lai Qian'er's face. It turned out that Lai Qian'er's eyes were covered by a layer of white silk. This strange behavior made Lan Wangshu more suspicious.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything, you just need to take me with you." Lai Qian'er raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a bit of pride.

"Lai Qian'er, you seem a little unusual..." Lan Wangshu suddenly changed the subject, his tone revealing a hint of alertness. Before he finished speaking, the man's expression paused slightly, but how could this subtle change escape Lan Wangshu's sharp eyes?

"How have I changed? Am I still the same system?" Lai Qian'er tried to keep calm, but his voice trembled involuntarily. He tried to cover up his inner uneasiness by asking rhetorical questions.

The tall man in front of him took a step back, his face full of innocence, his big eyes blinking, looking as lovable as a frightened deer.

Lan Wangshu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible smile. She slowly stretched out her delicate hand, and gently touched the man's cheek as if she was afraid of waking up a sleeping butterfly. Her fingertips first wandered over the man's face, as if she was feeling the delicate texture of his skin. However, the next moment, she suddenly pinched the man's face hard, and the man immediately cried out in pain.

The man's eyes were tightly closed, his brows were knitted together, and his lips were slightly parted uncontrollably, revealing a look of unbearable pain. His facial muscles were twitching violently due to the severe pain, and his originally handsome face became somewhat hideous and distorted.

Lan Wangshu seemed quite satisfied with the man's strong reaction. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of cunning and complacency after his prank was successful.

At this moment, Lan Wangshu was extremely satisfied. Even if he could not catch this person's handle for the time being, at least he could vent his anger in this way.

Lan Wangshu and the others were already dressed in their proper gear and ready for battle. When Lai Fu arrived, they were fully prepared and lined up neatly in the courtyard awaiting orders.

"Master Li has prepared everything."

"That's true! I am grateful to your majesty for entrusting me with this important task. How dare I betray your grace?"

Lai Fu waved the whisk in his hand to signal the eunuchs around him to leave and leave only him. Lan Wangshu also raised his hand and said:

"There is no need for you to read out the imperial edict this time. After all, His Majesty does not like you to kneel down to receive the imperial edict. But there is one more oral instruction from His Majesty, so please keep it in mind."

Lai Fu's originally fair face was now painted to look even paler, while his lips were as bright as blood, and his half-smiley expression was truly frightening.

"I accept your order and thank you!"

"Jiaojiao, please take good care of yourself on this trip. I hope you can return safely. I...wait for good news. In addition, I already know about the mysterious 'black pimple' incident. I will do my best to deal with it as soon as possible. Don't worry about the rest. Just take care of your own safety."

Lan Wangshu really couldn't figure out what Chen Yanshu's intention was, but he was the emperor after all, so he acted as he pleased and others had no way of guessing.

The young woman in men's clothes knelt down and saluted without hesitation, while Lai Fu hurriedly took a step back, fearing that he would be unable to avoid her. At the same time, he nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, obviously very frightened.

"Sir, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly. I have to go back to the palace to report."

Lai Fu didn't have time to say anything more. He immediately stepped forward to help Lan Wangshu up, and then left quickly like a frightened bird, as if something was chasing him from behind. If he wasn't so old, he would have run away.

The other young eunuchs were also confused when they saw Lai Fu running so fast, they could only follow him.

“Leave?”

At some point, Lai Qian'er had come behind Lan Wangshu. The girl turned around and looked at the man in front of her. Lai Qian'er was no longer as young and ignorant as before, and his gestures and movements were more mature and steady, completely different from the ignorant system in the past.

Coupled with that charming and attractive face, it even exudes an intoxicating aura of abstinence, which is really irresistible!

Lan Wangshu blinked her beautiful eyes gently and remained silent, but she was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, trying to calm herself down as soon as possible.

"Aoba."

"I'm here!" Qingye came out and stood respectfully aside waiting for instructions.

"Pass my order, all personnel will set out on time in half an hour. You and Wu Yan will accompany you, and Lai Qianer will ride with me."

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, Qingye acted decisively and without any delay.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and a team of horses dressed in uniform green uniforms drove out of Xunyang City like a whirlwind. Lan Wangshu knew that this journey would be full of dangers, with rugged and mountainous roads, so he decided to change everyone's clothes into low-key green clothes and pretend to be people from the escort agency to conceal their identities.

They had planned carefully when they left Li's house, taking detours, disguising themselves, and sending another team of people to Guihua to confuse the enemy. No one could have expected that she would act so quickly and decisively.

At this moment, the most prudent strategy is to cleverly use the time difference to minimize your own risks. Only in this way can you ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Along the way, Lan Wangshu was thinking hard about how to deal with the formidable King Qin of Daiyue. Although this mission was extremely difficult and dangerous, she was determined and believed that she would be able to survive.

At first the journey went smoothly, but before long, assassinations came one after another and became more frequent and intense.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the team.

Aoba rode forward to check and reported that several men in black had attacked the vanguard and stole some boxes used for concealment.

Lan Wangshu's heart sank. The man in black came with such force that he must want to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries. So this was a complete trap.

Lan Wangshu looked at the sky and didn't want to get entangled with them. If he could escape, it would be a good idea.

There is really no need for unnecessary casualties because of this.

"Pass the order down, speed up and make sure to reach the destination before them!"

Lan Wangshu bit his lips and gave the order decisively.

The group rode at full speed and finally arrived at a dilapidated mountain stronghold at sunset. However, before they could catch their breath, a group of bandits rushed out of the stronghold and surrounded them.

"Hand over the goods, otherwise you will never leave alive!" the bandit leader shouted.

Lan Wangshu gritted his teeth secretly. This group of bandits didn't come earlier or later, but showed up at this time. It was really troublesome.

While she was commanding everyone to fight, she was secretly observing the situation around her. Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a black shadow fell from the sky, landed among the bandits, and instantly killed several people.

"It's him!"

Lan Wangshu recognized the person who came. It was the man in black who attacked the vanguard team before. The man in black played tricks on them as if he was playing a game and then left.

It turned out that it took the capital several days to realize that they had already left. They were furious and hurriedly passed the news to people in Dai Viet.

As they got closer to the capital city of Dai Viet, their speed gradually slowed down and the journey became more difficult.

"Whoosh~"

"alert!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Wu Yan leaped up without hesitation, raised his arm, and even before he drew his sword, he steadily blocked a feather arrow that was flying towards him.

At the moment, they were in a vast grassland with towering cliffs on both sides. Looking around, there was no place to hide.

"Master, this is not a good idea."

Qingye, who was a guard, made a decisive judgment without waiting for Lan Wangshu to speak.

Lan Wangshu certainly agreed with Qingye's opinion, and she raised her eyes.

"Then according to your opinion, what should we do as a party?"

"In my opinion, we can send a team to make a feint attack to attract the enemy's attention, and then the main force will take the opportunity to advance by a detour."

Qingye raised his head and looked to both sides. His eyes quickly locked onto a path and he walked straight up to Lan Wangshu to point it out.

Lan Wangshu thought for a while and realized that this was not a good solution as they were now in an absolute disadvantageous position.
