The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 51 The Emperor Asked Her to Suppress Bandits

The emperor and his ministers were a little surprised when they heard that Lan Rufeng had come to the capital. The emperor asked directly: "General Yang, where is Mr. Lan now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know either. He went to the palace to see the prince last night and said that he had just arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. But he likes to listen to gossip, so he must be in the teahouse." Yang Feng replied.

"In that case, General Yang, go find someone for me. Once you find him, tell him my will. If he is willing to help me wipe out the bandits in Tengchong Mountain, I will reward him handsomely." The emperor gave the order directly, but he thought in his heart: "This guy who is not afraid of death dares to enter the capital. He should admire his courage."

"I will obey the order and live up to the emperor's trust." Yang Feng bowed and accepted the order. This was a good opportunity for the prince to vent his anger by dealing with the annoying Lan Rufeng.

"When your Highness is traveling, you must be careful not to be rash in anything. Listen to General Lan's advice and adjourn the court." The emperor warned his son.

"Your son obeys your order." Mu Liangcheng understood his father's good intentions and wanted to train him.

As soon as the emperor left, Lan Ruyun and the prince grabbed Yang Feng and asked him about Lan Rufeng's situation.

"Your Highness, just prepare yourself! I will be responsible for finding the person for you." Yang Feng promised with a smile.

"Okay..." Mu Liangcheng agreed. He watched Yang Feng and his brother-in-law leave before he sighed and turned back to the East Palace. Because of what his aunt and uncle did to his sister-in-law, the Crown Princess was very dissatisfied with the Liang family, and his mother also had a rift with the Lan family. He was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.

Lan Ruyun and Yang Feng left the palace. After watching Yang Feng leave, Lan Ruyun asked Jinshu to go back home quickly. After changing clothes, she went out with Jinshu to Mingyue Pavilion. When they arrived at Mingyue Pavilion, they saw Yang Feng and Lan Rufeng walking hurriedly up the stairs on the second floor.

"General Yang, you said that I have no grudge against you, so why are you pushing me in front of the emperor? I heard that General Li went to fight before the New Year. He couldn't even take down the bandit's nest. I'm just a civilian. What does the bandit suppression have to do with me?" Lan Rufeng accused Yang Feng of being nosy.

"Although Young Master Lan is not an official, he is also a citizen of the Southern Country, right? Moreover, the emperor said that as long as Young Master Lan is willing to contribute, he will be rewarded handsomely." Yang Feng said with a smile.

"I am young and just want to travel around and experience the romantic world. General Yang, please thank the emperor for his kindness on my behalf." Lan Rufeng refused.

"Young Master Lan..." Lan Ruyun and Jinshu came up, called out with a smile and walked over.

"Long time no see, Prince Lan, Lieutenant General Jin." Lan Rufeng greeted the two of them with a smile and gestured for them to sit down.

"Long time no see. Mr. Lan is still as charming as ever." Jinshu sat down with a smile.

"Really?" Lan Rufeng smiled as he poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and asked with a smile: "Is the purpose of Prince Lan and Admiral Jin's visit the same as General Yang's?"

Lan Ruyun smiled and said, "I respect Master Lan's wishes. I just heard General Yang say that Master Lan had entered the capital, so I wanted to come and see him."

"Prince Lan is still the best." Lan Rufeng smiled and raised the teacup to Lan Ruyun.

"Mr. Lan, I am just worried about your highness' safety. And the prince's injury hasn't healed yet. If he had healed, I wouldn't dare to trouble you, Mr. Lan," Yang Feng explained.

Lan Rufeng didn't believe that Yang Feng was so kind, and asked with a smile: "With Prince Lan following you, what is General Yang worried about?"

"Mr. Lan has seen the bandits in Tengchong Mountain. Their kung fu is pretty good. The most important thing is that Tengchong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It may not be easy to take it down in a short time." Yang Feng tried to persuade Lan Rufeng.

"Seeing that General Yang is so sincere, it's not impossible for me to go down, but the emperor must increase the reward for me." Lan Rufeng deliberately made the request.

Seeing that Lan Rufeng agreed, Yang Feng said happily: "The emperor has already mentioned a generous reward, so Mr. Lan doesn't have to worry about the bounty."

"Oh! It's so hard to earn some money to spend! My head is always hanging on my waist." Lan Rufeng pretended to sigh.

"Where do you live now, Mr. Lan? Why don't you stay at my house? Mother is in a bad mood because of Feng'er's matter. I'm sure she would feel much better if she saw Mr. Lan." Lan Ruyun invited Lan Rufeng to live at her house.

"I wonder what happened to the little princess? I just entered the city the day before yesterday and heard that Concubine Liang had suddenly passed away. So I ran to the teahouse to listen to gossip, but I didn't expect that General Yang would come as soon as I got here." Lan Rufeng asked even though he knew the answer.

"You are so abominable. You ask blind questions with your eyes open and aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?" Yang Feng couldn't help but curse Lan Rufeng in his heart.

"This is a long story. How about we go back home first and discuss it with Master Lan in detail?" Lan Ruyun didn't want to mention Liang Zihan in front of Yang Feng.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Master Lan. You guys go back first! I'll pick up the luggage from my residence and then come to your house." Lan Rufeng readily agreed and stood up.

"Okay, I'll wait for Young Master Lan in the mansion." Lan Ruyun was very happy. She stood up and followed them downstairs, motioning Jinshu to pay the bill and Yang Feng to see Lan Rufeng off.

Yang Feng looked at Lan Rufeng and scolded him: "This guy deserves a beating. He went to see the prince make fun of himself last night and is still playing dumb here. He is so hateful."

"What do you mean, General Yang? Does Young Master Lan know what happened in the capital?" Lan Ruyun asked Yang Feng.

"Anyway, Prince, just don't be fooled by this guy and his half-pale scholar appearance. Yang Feng will take his leave first." Yang Feng left without explaining.

After Lan Ruyun watched Yang Feng leave, she waited thoughtfully for Jinshu to come out before they returned home.

Lan Rufeng agreed to fight the bandits not for money, but to protect Lan Ruyun. Moreover, Tengchong Mountain is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just because Li Yunfan can't take it down doesn't mean she can't. If the bandits in Tengchong Mountain meet her, they will just have bad luck.

When Lan Ruyun returned home, she told her mother the news that Lan Rufeng was coming to Beijing and would live in her home. She saw a smile on her mother's face instantly, and she knew that her decision was right. She hurriedly asked the maid to clean up the west wing, and ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and happily went to the front hall to wait for someone.

"Husband, when did Master Lan arrive in Beijing?" Mu Liangyan heard the news and rushed over to ask her husband.

"We just arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. When the emperor mentioned General Yang at the morning court, he asked him to accompany the prince and I to Tengchong Mountain to suppress the bandits. That's why Jinshu and I went out to look for him." Lan Ruyun said as he helped his wife sit down.

"Your Majesty, your father wants you and Liang Cheng to suppress the bandits again? Tengchong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are traps everywhere. How can it be so easy to capture it?" Mu Liangyan was immediately unhappy. She was not happy that her father had thrown this mess to her husband.

"Ruyun, General Li was unable to take it. The emperor asked you and the prince to go. Are you sure?" Lin Ruyan was also worried about her son. If her son failed to take it, it would definitely make the emperor unhappy.

"Mother, the emperor has issued an order. We must give it a try whether we are confident or not. Otherwise, these bandits will cause trouble to passing caravans and civilians for years, and they will sooner or later become a cancer." Lan Ruyun said. He had survived such hardships on the battlefield, so he would take down a small bandit's nest even if he had to blow up a mountain.

"Then my husband and Liangcheng must pay attention to safety." Mu Liangyan reminded her husband that she was pregnant now and her husband was everything to her.

"I know." Lan Ruyun promised his wife that he was not only a husband but also a father. His wife, children and family were everything to him. Fortunately, his wife did not become alienated from him because of the death of the Liang couple and chose to stand by him, which made him very happy.

But because of his sister, the Queen and the Liang family had a rift with their family. Aren't all the Liang family members to blame? If it weren't for the viciousness of Liang Boshan and Mu Rongwan, how could there be today's situation?
