The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Upon hearing Shen Li's words, Liu Ruyan smiled slightly: "Ah Li, I was born into the Liushu Heavenly Palace, have you forgotten?"

Reminded by Liu Ruyan, Shen Li finally remembered.

Indeed, Liu Ruyan was originally a disciple of Liushu Tianque, but this identity was kept extremely secret, and only a handful of people knew about it. Moreover, she considered herself the number one talented woman in the Great Jing Dynasty, and over time, even those around her almost forgot her true identity.

Shen Li was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Ruyan in the Cliff City at this time.

"Sister Liu, haven't you always been in the capital? Why are you here?"

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "You know, I'm the kind of person who can't stay still. I get tired of staying in one place for too long. This time I came to the southwest for a trip, and then I heard that the Kushan Empire in the north was going to move south. And since you were in the Cliff City, Ah Li, I came to take a look."

Liu Ruyan's voice was soft and gentle, but Shen Li was deeply moved after hearing her words.

Now, with 500,000 enemy troops pressing on the border of Juebi City, everyone who knows about it is afraid to come to them. Why would anyone offer themselves up for free?

Many elderly people, women, and children in the city were already considering leaving to flee south to escape the war.

After all, no one knows how this big battle will end.

Although they have the eldest prince, the Prince of Zhenbei, and Jia Daoshi, the newly crowned number one expert in the world, the Kushan Empire is still incredibly strong!

It is said that experts from the Western Regions also participated!

Therefore, this battle at Cliff City is bound to be extremely bloody.

Just then, Shen Li suddenly remembered something and turned to Rouya beside him, saying, "Rouya, hurry up and tell the Chief Inspector that Liu Ruyan has arrived."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Rouya, of course, recognized the woman in front of her. She was also very happy to see Liu Ruyan, because every time she saw Liu Ruyan, this talented woman from Dajing would tell her about the interesting things that had happened along the way.

In this era, travel was slow, and without substantial financial backing, it was simply impossible to travel.

Most people live in their small county town until they die.

Girls like Rouya are quite lucky to be able to follow Shen Li in his campaigns, but it's impossible for them to travel on their own and see the world's wonders.

After Rouya left, Shen Li walked up to Liu Ruyan and took her hand:

"Sister Liu, how have you been in Kyoto these past six months?"

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly: "I'm fine. As long as I don't get involved in the power struggles in the court, the capital is indeed a prosperous and wonderful place."

"By the way, that kid Jia Daoshi hasn't given me the ending of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils yet. This trip is a good opportunity to have him finish writing the story!"

Shen Li smiled and said, "He would be very happy if he knew that you were here, Sister Liu."

……

at the same time.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Jia Daoshi was in his study, looking at the intelligence gathered from the front lines by his spies.

Just then, Rouya's voice rang out at the door: "Young master, the prince sent me to deliver a message. Sister Liu Ruyan has come to the city lord's mansion and wants you to come out and meet her."

Upon hearing Rouya's words, Jia Daoshi was stunned!

Has Emperor Ruyan arrived?

If Rouya hadn't brought it up at this moment, Jia Daoshi would have almost forgotten about this most talented woman in Dajing!

Thinking back to the last time I met him, it was in Yilan County!

Unexpectedly, more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye!

He vaguely remembered that there were several top-tier girls at Shen Li's residence in Yilan County.

"Liu Ruyan? The talented Liu? What are you doing here at this time?"

Unlike Shen Li, who was so naive, Jia Daoshi had a few thoughts running through his mind after hearing that Liu Ruyan had come here.

He had always been very interested in Liu Ruyan, not only because she was known as the most talented woman in Dajing, but also because Jia Daoshi at that time simply couldn't see through her!

He still remembered when Liu Ruyan was summoned by Shen Li in Yilan County to compete with him.

From beginning to end, he maintained an unperturbed demeanor, showing no signs of being indifferent to praise or criticism!

At that time, he was very interested in this girl. After all, he had already started practicing the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, and once he circulated his power, the pressure on ordinary people would be enormous.

But Liu Ruyan was completely unaffected!

This proves that this girl definitely knows martial arts!

In fact, his kung fu skills are even better than they were back then!

Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Why would this most talented woman of the Great Jing Dynasty come to Juebi City at this time?"

As he spoke, Jia Daoshi walked to the study door and opened it: "Where are the prince and the others? By the way, where did our talented Liu come from?"

Rouya said, "The prince and Miss Liu are still at the gate of the city lord's mansion, and they may have already entered the front yard. I heard that Sister Liu came from the capital."

After Rouya finished speaking, Jia Daoshi didn't say anything more, nodded, and walked towards the gate of the city lord's mansion.

As soon as I reached the front courtyard of the city lord's mansion, I saw a woman with an elegant and refined demeanor.

This woman possessed a very special aura that made people want to approach her and admire her. It was a noble, scholarly air, the kind of air that the saying "a person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance" was embodied in this moment.

But Jia Daoshi knew it was definitely not that simple.

As he approached Liu Ruyan, the Dragon Elephant True Qi within his body began to circulate automatically, as if he had encountered a formidable enemy!

This feeling is something I've never experienced before!

The Liu Ruyan before me was like a completely different person compared to the one I saw in Yilan County last time. Back then, Liu Ruyan was as calm as water, and the dress she wore was also very loose.

But this time, she was wearing a tight-fitting dress, her figure was graceful and curvaceous, and with her special temperament, Jia Daoshi felt an urge to completely conquer her at just one glance.

After sensing this subtle change, Jia Daoshi knew that Liu Ruyan was no ordinary person!

Why did I come all the way from Kyoto?

The only explanation is that they were assigned to monitor the situation in Cliff City.

Who can assign a task to the most talented woman in the Great Jing?

It should only be the Empress, right?

Perhaps her visit this time wasn't just about monitoring Cliff City...

In a flash, Jia Daoshi figured out the purpose of Liu Ruyan's trip.

This is actually quite obvious.

If Liu Ruyan is simply a talented woman from Dajing, why would she come here at this time?

Regardless of Liu Ruyan's purpose in coming here, if she dares to make a move on him, then I can only apologize.

Jia Daoshi would not let go of a woman who offered herself up.

At this moment, Shen Li, who was talking to Liu Ruyan, noticed that Liu Ruyan was staring at something behind her. She quickly realized what was happening and turned around to see Jia Daoshi. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Oh! It's the Chief Inspector! Does the Chief Inspector still remember Sister Liu?"

Upon hearing Shen Li's words, Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "Of course I remember. Miss Liu is both beautiful and talented. How could I forget her!"

Immediately, Jia Daoshi walked up to Liu Ruyan and said, "Miss Liu, it's been more than half a year since we last parted ways in Yilan County. I've often thought of you during this time!"
