Seeing that Zhang Daoba was indeed such a sinister villain, Song Lan did not forgive him. He immediately clenched the sword in his hand and pierced Zhang Daoba's chest, killing him with one blow.

Zhang Daoba's usual henchman knelt on the ground, his chin trembling with fear, and kowtowed repeatedly, "General, please spare my life, General, please spare my life, I really want to surrender, I am different from the boss, different... Please spare my life, General, I will turn over a new leaf in the future, turn over a new leaf."

Song Lan just glanced at him and walked out the door. The two soldiers behind him came in and subdued the little minion.

All the bandits in Langfeng Mountain were captured. Song Lan counted the number of people and saw that no one escaped, so he led the bandits down the mountain. Zhang Daoba, who put Song Wanning in danger and injured Pei Xuanzhi last time, now died, which can be regarded as revenge for Song Wanning and Pei Xuanzhi.

Song Lan quickly defeated the bandits in Langfeng Mountain without much manpower, and the news soon spread back to the capital. When he entered the city, many people stood at the city gate and cheered. It can be seen that the people in the capital were usually harmed by the bandits in Langfeng Mountain. Now that Song Lan had defeated Langfeng Mountain, he would naturally be sought after by these people.

Song Lan came to the palace to meet the emperor with his military achievements and was promoted to the fourth-rank General of Huaihua. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded him with a lot of jewels.

When Song Lan returned to the mansion, Lu Zijun was guarding the door with a few maids, looking up from afar to see if Song Lan had returned. Not long after, Song Lan rode back to the general's mansion on a tall horse.

Seeing this, Lu Zijun finally smiled and raised her hand to wave at Song Lan.

Seeing this, Song Lan got off his horse, took out a pearl flower from his arms and handed it to Lu Zijun, and said with a smile, "When I came back, I saw this pearl flower being sold on the roadside. I thought you might like it, so I bought one for you."

Lu Zijun took the pearl flower, sighed towards Song Lan, and walked into the house with him, "You don't know how much I missed you when you were away. I wonder if you got hurt during this trip."

Song Lan still had a smile on his face, "No, I am smart and wise, how can I let this little minion hurt me?"

Seeing that Song Lan was fine, Lu Zijun finally put down the big stone in her heart. She looked at Song Lan and said, "I haven't told you something yet. A few days ago, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Wan Ning. Who knew that her aunt went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to mock her. How could I tolerate this? I scolded her good aunt. Who knew that her aunt would ruin my reputation everywhere? Now the ladies outside don't send me invitations anymore."

Seeing Lu Zijun looking angry and guilty, Song Lan laughed and said, "It's okay. You don't have to make connections outside. Don't worry. Besides, you are doing the right thing by standing up for your sister. Go back to the yard first and come back after I reply to my father."

After hearing this, Lu Zijun felt relieved and happily turned back to her yard to do her work.

Qing Ling, who was beside Lu Zijun, saw this scene and hurriedly said, "Grandma, I have already said that the Second Master will definitely not blame you. Who knew that the wife at home would be so anxious, fearing that you would be divorced. Now look, she is fine."

"I said my mother was just worrying about nothing." Lu Zijun waved her hands and said, "My personality is the result of my mother's pampering. Now my husband continues to pamper me. I'm afraid I won't be able to change in this lifetime."

Qingling echoed from the side, and the master and servant returned to the yard.

On the other side, after the Prime Minister's Mansion learned about this, Song Wanning was the first to tell Yin Yichen the good news.

"My second brother from my mother's family has won the battle now, thanks to you, my husband, who found him a way to resist the miasma. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been resolved peacefully." Song Wanning's face was full of joy, but also a little sad. She spoke slowly, "It's a good thing that we have won the battle now, and my eldest brother has been promoted again, but the military achievements of the General's Mansion are getting more and more prosperous. A tall tree attracts the wind. I'm really worried that the royal family will have complaints about the General's Mansion. Especially those princes who are still calculating the throne. My father has not taken sides. I'm afraid..."

Yin Yichen knew what Song Wanning was worried about, and immediately spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, although these princes all want to win over the General's Mansion, the person they want to target first is me. If I don't fall, I'm afraid they will be even more sleepless. Besides, the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are now closely connected. If the General's Mansion has any difficulties, I will naturally do my best to help."

"I understand." After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Wanning looked up helplessly and smiled, "Are you trying to comfort me? Didn't you tell me that instead of worrying about my brother, I should worry more about you?"

"That's the truth." Yin Yichen smiled. "The current court is full of twists and turns. It's not the time when I can't do anything about it. Don't worry."

Song Wanning felt relieved, but Yin Yichen stood up and said to her, "Now that this matter is over, the matter of Fengxian Restaurant should also be over. Jiao Rong has committed such a crime, I'm afraid he will never get out of this life. I would be worried if a villain like him got out. I heard that Jiao Da has a daughter who married far away, so I asked someone to send him to live with his daughter."

Song Wanning knew that Yin Yichen had his own ideas in mind, so she just said to him, "I understand, Second Master will make the decision on this matter. There are so many shops at home, and I still have a lot to check. Now is also a warning to others, so that the managers below can behave themselves."

The couple talked for a while and then dispersed.

Song Lan has now returned from a victorious battle, and some are happy while others are worried. Not only did he win this battle, he also won beautifully. This has made the originally opposed Prince An a joke.

Prince An was naturally very angry, but now, there are still many people in the dark, ready to make a move, bent on winning over the General's Mansion. This person is the Crown Prince Xie Heng.

The prince is now powerless in the entire court. Although he is the queen's son, the queen is not as powerful as the virtuous concubine. This is why the prince is outshined by Prince An. Now that he wants to sit in this position for a long time, he must win over the powerful officials in the capital.

The General's Mansion was the first official household that the prince targeted. If he could win over the General's Mansion, it would be much easier for him to keep his position as the prince. For this reason, Xie Heng planned to extend an olive branch to the General's Mansion.
