Hearing these words, Leng Yu turned over and sat up, and asked loudly to the people outside with a somewhat nervous expression:

"Which General Liu?"

The outsider replied:

"General Liu Dechang."

Xiao Lingzi's words instantly excited Leng Yu. Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly stood up and asked,

"Husband, what's wrong?"

As he sorted out his clothes, he said to her:

"General Liu Dechang, the Duke of Protector of the Nation, I've told you he's a highly respected general who's been stationed at the border for years. It's thanks to him that Xiao Lingzi and the other three have been able to survive in Ningguta all these years and avoid being harmed by treacherous people."

Hearing him say this, Luo Lan hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Then I should go and see him too."

Leng Yu tidied up her clothes, turned around to help her tidy up her hair, and then smiled at her:

"Okay, go wash up first and come back later."

After saying this, he did not forget to hold her head and leave a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Watching Leng Yu walk away, Ah Cai came in with a basin of water to wash her, muttering to herself,

"Princess, there are a lot of people outside, all wearing battle robes. The one leading them, General Liu, looks really impressive. What's that word called?"

She scratched her head as she spoke, unable to think of any words to describe General Liu.

Luo Lan stroked her long hair in front of her, squinting her eyes and chuckling, "Imposing and imposing?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ah Cai grinned and smiled sheepishly, "Ah Cai is not very literate, but that's what I meant. That General Liu looks really impressive."

After hearing what Acai said, Luo Lan felt that she wanted to meet General Liu even more. Now there are two people who occupy half of the country of Daning. One is Wu Hong, the son of Grand Tutor Wu, and the other is General Liu Dechang. These two people are people who even the emperor has to give some face to.

When she packed up and went to the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, Leng Yu and Liu Dechang were talking with heavy faces.

When she was standing at the door considering whether to go in, Leng Yu looked up and saw her, and hurriedly stood up and invited her in.

She just stepped into the main hall. When Leng Yu came over, he took her hand and walked her to Liu Dechang, introducing her to him:

"General Liu, this is my wife Shui Luolan, the one I just mentioned who pulled me back from the coffin."

Hearing him say this, Liu Dechang looked up at her, and as he looked her up and down, an unspeakable look flashed in his eyes.

This woman looked familiar to him...

At the same time, Luo Lan was also looking at General Liu. General Liu looked to be about fifty years old, with a natural demeanor and a calm expression. He exuded the demeanor of a general who was experienced in many battles but remained calm and composed.

The temperament of this kind of general is not something that anyone can pretend. Luo Lan was sure at this time that what Leng Yu said about him being a highly respected person was not false at all.

She hurriedly bowed and saluted slightly, "General Liu, I am Shui Luolan, honored to meet you."

Upon hearing this name, for some reason, General Liu suddenly took a few steps back, then inexplicably fell into the chair, his face pale, and beads of sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu, the guard beside him, hurried forward to support him and asked with concern:

"What happened, General?"

Luo Lan also looked at Leng Yu with some confusion. Leng Yu frowned and asked with concern:

"General Liu, are you feeling unwell? My wife is a doctor. Can you ask her to take your pulse?"

Liu Dechang covered his forehead with one hand, as if trying to recall something, and waved his other hand vigorously, "No, no, I'm fine. It's an old problem. I'll be fine after a rest."

Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly said to A Cai at the door:

"Bring General Liu a glass of clean water without tea leaves."

Hearing the sound, A Cai hurried to get some water. After a while, a glass of water was brought up. Only then did Liu Dechang calm down and slowly regain his composure.

After Luo Lan and Leng Yu sat down opposite him, Liu Dechang looked at Luo Lan from time to time, and then asked curiously:

"Where is Princess Yu from?"

Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yu, then replied:

"He's from the countryside. I'm afraid General Liu hasn't even heard of the name of that small village, so it's better not to mention it."

Liu Dechang then sighed, nodded slowly, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Leng Yu got to the point and continued:

"Prince Zhennan hasn't been to the capital for twenty years. He will arrive tomorrow at noon. My father has ordered me to make sure he is well accommodated and not allowed to enter the palace before the annual banquet. However, the inns and post stations in the capital are full of the families of the various foreign princes. This really puts me in a difficult position."

Listening to his words, Liu Dechang's eyes flickered firmly, then he looked at him and said earnestly:

"Excuse me for being blunt, but as far as I know, Wu Hong has traveled long distances many times to personally visit King Zhennan Leng Zi'an. It's obvious that he wouldn't have gone so often unless King Zhennan had given in. So, this time, you have the perfect opportunity to win him over, otherwise he'll cause endless harm in the future."

Liu Dechang's words made Leng Yu frown. Although Luo Lan was confused, she could tell that King Zhennan seemed to be intending to make peace with the Wu family.

So, she thought for a while, looked at Leng Yu, and said softly:

"My husband, since the emperor has entrusted you with this important task, you cannot neglect Prince Zhennan. It would be better to place him in the east wing of Prince Yu's mansion, which is empty anyway."

Hearing her say this, Leng Yu looked at her sideways and asked with a questioning look:

"Lan'er, is this convenient? I'm afraid you might have concerns."

"It's okay. Prince Yu's Mansion is so big, it's more than enough for dozens more people to live here."

Hearing her say this, Liu Dechang nodded heavily and echoed:

"Princess Yu, what you said makes sense. As the saying goes, those who are close to water get the moon first. If he lives in Prince Yu's mansion, it will prevent Wu Yuanzhang from interfering. You can also take this opportunity to build a closer relationship with him. As long as you ensure that he does not go along with the Wu father and son, then there is only Huang Shixiong left, and he will not be a threat."

Liu Dechang's words reminded Leng Yu. He nodded repeatedly and said solemnly:

"General Liu's words make sense. You've been guarding the border for a long time, and the General's Mansion has been vacant. I wonder if there's anything you need to add to your mansion?"

Liu Dechang simply shook his head and waved his hands, squinting his eyes cheerfully and said:

"No, no, even though I haven't been back for many years, I've left servants at home to take care of things, so it's the same as before and there's no need to buy anything new."

"That's good. If General Liu needs anything, you can ask for it at any time. Leng Yu will definitely help you to the best of his ability."

This sentence made Liu Dechang sigh deeply. He then stood up, clasped his fists and said to Leng Yu:

"Prince Yu, I just returned to the capital and haven't had time to go back to the mansion to take a look, so I won't stay here any longer."
