Chapter 181 Fighting Evil
Lu Yan looked back at him with a friendly smile in his eyes:
"I have long admired my name."
Finally met him.
If it was as Lu Yan expected, this Li Ji Suolang would probably have brought a lot of things with him when he came to the capital of Yunjin.
The Empress Dowager naturally wouldn't worry about any unusual behavior from him. After all, all the things they had in the Western Regions were provided by the Empress Dowager.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother, he wouldn't have come to power.
So the Queen Mother was relieved.
But Lu Yan was no pushover. He knew clearly that most of the envoys here were top generals in the Western Regions.
He was still a step too late, allowing these people to enter the capital.
Li Ji Suolang did not respond to Lu Yan's kindness, but just looked at the Imperial Master and said provocatively:
"I've long heard that your Yunjin Imperial Preceptor is as beautiful as a flower. Seeing her today, I'm sure she's indeed the case. It's a shame that despite her beauty, she's not even worthy enough to enter the emperor's harem."
Lu Zhou looked at Li Ji Suolang and smiled faintly:
"It's not that I can't come in, it's just that he doesn't want to. He already has someone in mind."
Li Ji Suolang had long known that Xu Qingyin was very capable, and even the Empress Dowager was conquered by her, but he could do nothing about her. Today, seeing that she was just a woman with nothing but good looks, he relaxed his guard a little.
Xu Qingyin was too lazy to engage in any more verbal battles in the court, so she said nothing.
But Lu Yan, who was always taciturn, spoke:
"How could I not know that your envoys from the Western Regions also have the ability to read faces? It is not for outsiders to judge the true strength of the Imperial Master."
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's distinguished guest Lu Yan also dared to shout, which completely angered the Queen Mother:
"Prince Jing, don't think you can do whatever you want now that you've woken up! This is an envoy from the Western Regions. I didn't bother with your rude words because you're His Majesty's brother, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully! Even if you don't care about me, you should at least consider Yunjin's future, right?"
The Queen Mother was in tears when she said these words. She was only over forty years old now, and she was in very good condition. She even unconsciously had a kind of tearful charm.
But Lu Yan sneered:
"So Li Ji Suolang is an envoy from a foreign country? I was rude. I thought he was from the Empress Dowager's family, so I spoke a little harshly. But I was just joking."
Lu Yan's words this time shocked Xu Qingyin. He was just a taciturn little boy on weekdays. When did he become so sharp-tongued?
During this period, she still didn't know him well enough.
It seems that ten years really changes a person a lot.
But what Xu Qingyin didn't know was that these sharp words were only for her.
The Queen Mother's face flushed with anger, and she forcibly held back the tears that were about to fall.
"you……"
But other ministers interrupted first and began to submit memorials.
This time, the Queen Mother was furious, but she had nowhere to vent her anger.
But it doesn’t matter. Today, the court promoted three officials, all of whom are from the Western Regions.
In the future, wouldn't both the Western Regions and Yunjin be under her sole control? At that time, why would she still care about Lu Yan's thoughts...
Anyone in the court who did not obey her management would be killed.
If someone is really talented, he will be obedient after being fed with the poisonous insect.
After the court was dismissed, Lu Yan followed Xu Qingyin back to the Xu family to discuss the next countermeasures.
However, rather than discussing countermeasures with Xu Qingyin, Lu Yan wanted to know more about what she had done here throughout the year.
Is it very hard? Are the days very difficult to endure?
"Hey, you're still interrupting me! The Western Regions have already reached our doorstep. Why weren't you so lively before? Now that your legs aren't as agile as they used to be, you've become more vocal."
Xu Qingyin gently patted Lu Yan's forehead, with a doting look on her face.
Although Xu Qingyin said this, she was also very relieved in her heart. After all, Lu Yan had rarely been with his parents before, and he had hardly felt the real family love on weekdays.
Although he is alone and a little lonely in modern times, he is still a beloved president of the Lu family and is basically a powerful figure.
Besides, Xu Qingyin has already made a report on the invasion of Yunjin by the Western Region people. Lu Yan has returned now, and Xu Qingyin trusts him more than anyone else. In this case, she always believes that Lu Yan can do it.
Lu Yan smiled faintly:
"There's no need to rush. You're here."
After saying this, Xu Qingyin blushed, but she also knew the most important thing today, so she continued to ask:
"But then again, Li Ji Suolang shouldn't be here alone this time. I think he must have a lot of backup plans."
"That's for sure. The Western Region nobles only number a few hundred people combined. What if they all left for the Western Region? So if it were really just the management team coming here to experience it, there wouldn't be thousands of people like there are now."
Indeed, the number of people who came this time was so huge that all the famous inns in the capital were filled up at once. Some people with higher status even lived directly in the palace.
This is serious.
"If that's true, then these people are probably disguised generals from the Western Regions. Honestly, the people there aren't very polite to begin with. If they are truly them, I'm afraid the already difficult times in the capital will become even more difficult."
Lu Yan stared at the book in front of him in a daze, and his face was expressionless when he spoke the next words:
"It's okay. I'll let them wait until the day they see themselves pay the price."
Lu Yan had just left the house. As the Xu family lived on the bustling streets of the capital, he hadn't walked long when he saw a little beggar crying loudly on the ground:
"Please, Master, let me go. I'm just begging for food here. I didn't mean to offend you..."
He was lying on the ground, his head bleeding.
Lu Yan's carriage stopped, but he did not open the curtain. He just listened quietly to the movement in front.
"So what? How dare a lowly person like you challenge me? I'll make sure your body is completely destroyed!"
After saying this, Lu Yan seemed to hear the sounds of fighting and begging for mercy outside.
Lu Yan said to the coachman in front:
"If it's resolved, just say it's Prince Jing's Mansion."
The young man turned over and got off the horse, and disappeared in an instant.
Sure enough, seeing this situation, everyone would be eager to take action. How could anyone bear to allow themselves to be bullied like this?
Besides, this was no ordinary coachman.
Not long after, I heard him mumbling:
"This guy from the Western Regions is so arrogant. Look at the clothes he's wearing. He's the lowest-class among the group that came here, and he dares to do this!"
But he was a little scared:
"Your Highness, won't the Queen Mother be blamed for our actions being so blatant?"
Lu Yan said calmly:
"She must be afraid of us."
