Lu Zhan accompanied An Yingcheng and the others all the way down the mountain before he bade them farewell.

Even if he wanted to be more familiar with An Lingge, he shouldn't use this method.

An Yingcheng urged him to stay for a while. Seeing that Lu Zhan remained unmoved, he could only thank him once more before sending him off.

When he returned to the palace, he immediately sent someone to prepare a gift. He specially found a treasure sword from the storage room and personally brought a person to the General Da Palace to express his gratitude.

An Lingge and the others, who had received Lu Zhan's saving grace, naturally went along as well. Only Aunt Li, because of her status as a woman, stayed in the Duke Palace because it was inconvenient for her to go to the General's Estate.

Inside the General's Estate, Lu Tianya and An Yingcheng were seated facing each other. An Lingge and the others were seated below them, and Lu Zhan happened to be sitting opposite to An Lingge.

"Young General Lu is truly a young man, he saved the lives of everyone in our Duke Palaces."

An Yingcheng politely chatted with Lu Tianya as he continuously praised Lu Zhan.

Lu Tianya is a barbarian. He could only laugh out loud and feign modesty once more, "Prince An is too kind. If you keep on praising him, I'm afraid that kid will explode."

"It's normal for youngsters to be high-spirited." An Yingcheng also laughed, his gaze inadvertently falling on Lu Zhan, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

He chatted with Lu Tianya for a bit more about family matters before probing, "I wonder which family's girl Young General Lu has an engagement with, such a talented person like you?"

Lu Zhan was originally drinking his tea quietly, but when he heard An Yingcheng's words, he subconsciously looked up at An Lingge with a hint of panic in his eyes.

He didn't have an engagement with anyone at all, so An Lingge better not misunderstand him.

An Lingge lowered her head and did not see his expression. On the contrary, it was An Lingyi, and even though she was sitting next to An Lingge, she had been secretly looking up to see Lu Zhan.

She thought Lu Zhan was looking at her, but when she thought about how Lu Zhan's seat was directly facing An Lingge, An Lingyi's heart sank.

Could it be that if she liked someone, An Lingge was going to seduce someone, and she was going to go against her?

This b * tch who had a lecherous personality!

The hand under her sleeve fiercely clenched, her long fingernails digging into her palm, unexpectedly not feeling any pain at all. She only wished that she could skin An Lingge alive, so that she wouldn't steal the person she liked.

Fortunately, Lu Zhan and An Lingge were not familiar with each other, and had only been deceived by An Lingge's face. As long as she kept appearing in front of Lu Zhan and hinting at the road station a few more times, Lu Zhan would definitely understand his intentions. He might even forget about An Lingge.

With this thought, the resentment in An Lingyi's heart slightly receded, and her distorted face returned to normal.

Lu Tianya glanced at Lu Zhan, some pride and pride in his eyes, but his tone was very modest. "I am indebted to the prince for his love. However, Zhan'er is a martial artist and kills his enemies, so he doesn't have the time to talk about love. Ordinary women don't want to marry a martial arts man who doesn't know how to fight or kill, so this marriage hasn't come to an end yet."

No matter what he said, whether he praised or belittled Lu Zhan, An Yingcheng had only heard that Lu Zhan had no marriage contract.

He looked at Lu Tianya in astonishment, his words filled with disbelief. "How many women wish to marry a young genius like Young General Lu? General Lu, you're too modest."

Lu Tianya shook his head with a smile, but there was a trace of helplessness on his face. "He only knows how to practice martial arts and kill his enemies. He doesn't even listen to me and his mother's repeated attempts to persuade him to find a good girl to live a peaceful life. My heart …"

The smile on An Yingcheng's face grew even wider, and he also understood the hidden meaning behind Lu Tianya's words, "With such a talent like Young General Lu, he naturally has the ambition of ruling over the entire Qi Family. However, he wasn't young anymore, and there should be someone who cared about others. If General Lu is willing, I can get someone to help General Lu keep an eye on this good daughter of his in the capital. "

"Then, I'll have to thank Your Highness."

Lu Tianya thanked An Yingcheng, but a trace of hesitation flashed through his heart.

He was originally a commoner. Back then, he had been promoted from the army at a young age, and because of his courage and battle prowess, he had been promoted to the position of deputy general step by step.

After that, he was recognized by the Emperor and was bestowed the title General Da.

Although he was just a martial general and didn't have the twisted hearts of the civil officials, Lu Tianya knew what the Emperor was thinking about these other princes s.

If he had a marriage relationship with Prince An's Palace, the emperor might even suspect himself, so he definitely could not let Lu Zhan and Prince An's Palace's daughters be implicated.

However, in front of An Yingcheng, Lu Tianya had still given him sufficient face, and had not revealed his thoughts in the slightest.

An Yingcheng thanked Lu Zhan with gifts and obtained the information he wanted. Then, he took An Lingge and the others and left, returning to Prince An's Palace.

"All of you, go back to your own courtyards."

An Yingcheng was in a good mood as he allowed the few of them to return to their own courtyards, yet he stood in his original position without moving.

"Little Ge, what else do you want?", An Yingcheng asked as he saw that An Lingge had not left.

An Lingge nodded at him, "Father, our daughter thinks that the bandits we met today were too arrogant, even daring to try and rob the king, and that they almost killed us. It can be seen how brutal and tyrannical they are, why not father tell the guards, and let them destroy the bandits, for the sake of the people."

"I've already sent people to do this."

An Yingcheng thought about how those bandits had mocked him while looking down on him, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

When the guards catch those bandits, he will definitely go to the prison and take a good look at them!

An Lingge's face revealed a look of astonishment, "Father actually sent someone to inform the Lord Guard already?"

"I originally wanted to tell Father that the Mountain Bandits were extremely arrogant, and that someone was supporting them from behind. I wanted Father to be more careful."

An Yingcheng originally did not take her words to heart, but after some careful thought, it seemed that there was indeed such a possibility.

If the Mountain Bandits had not been ordered by someone, they would definitely not have attacked a prince like him, and would not have been afraid when the guards reported his identity.

The person who commanded the bandits was not inferior to him in status.

An Yingcheng's eyes darkened. After thinking about it, only the few people who were in the same boat as him had the most possibility.

If he could catch the person behind this bandit and hand him over to the Emperor, then the Emperor's suspicion of him might disappear.

Not only could he seek revenge, he could also show his loyalty in front of the emperor. This was killing two birds with one stone.

She thought like this, and there was a look of certainty in her eyes, "Little Ge, don't worry, I will get people to inform the guards of the things you have said, and let them be on guard. They will definitely catch that arrogant bandit in one fell swoop."
