After a while, two or three people came in carrying a few boxes. Leng Yu pointed at the boxes and said sarcastically:

"This gold and silver is evidence of your bribery of officials from the Daning State. However, you gave it to them willingly. Now that they have tactfully handed it over to the national treasury, I am naturally willing to allow them to make amends. It's a shame to waste Master Ling's efforts."

Ling Feng looked at the silver, his heart in his throat. Was all his efforts over the past six months going to go to waste?

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes slightly, then stood up and looked at Leng Yu.

"Since you already know everything, I have nothing more to say. If I fall into your hands, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

"Hahaha……"

Leng Yu suddenly raised her head and smiled.

"The weather in Daning is good, and the people are well-fed and well-clothed. The Queen and I are very pleased. I don't want a war between the two countries to start because of you. I don't care about what you have done. I will not kill you or cut you into pieces. I order you to return to your Dongyang Kingdom immediately and never set foot there again..."

"No, I want to find my brother. I won't leave until I find him."

"Are you sure your brother is in Daning Country?"

Ling Feng hesitated and shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but I've already searched all the nearby countries. I came from Beihai Kingdom to Daning Kingdom, and from Yilan County to the capital. With Daning Kingdom's capital as the center, I've searched north and east. Now the only two directions left are west and south. Since our careful planning has ended in failure, could Your Majesty please give me two more months to search in these two directions? If I can't find anyone, I will return to Dongyang Kingdom and never set foot in Daning Kingdom again."

Luo Lan reminded:

"When will you ever find someone if you're searching like a needle in a haystack?"

"Whether I can find it or not, I will go find it. My mother is crying herself blind at home, and my father is dealing with state affairs while being depressed. I feel distressed and anxious. Please understand my feelings, Your Majesty, and give me some time to stay in Daning State."

Leng Yu was hesitating. Although it was wrong for Ling Feng and others to come to Daning Kingdom rashly, he was deeply moved by the fact that they had been traveling between various countries for many years in search of his brother.

He nodded immediately.

"Alright, I see you're a man of integrity and righteousness. I can give you two more months. At the same time, I'll send someone to help you look for him. Give me your brother's portrait and his missing person notice, and I'll have them posted everywhere for you. Cast a wide net, and there's always hope."

His words surprised Ling Feng. He didn't expect that he was trying to harm him, but he would take the initiative to help him.

He looked at him with eyes full of gratitude, then stood up and saluted him.

"The Emperor of Daning is indeed a man of great righteousness. Ling Feng hereby expresses his deepest apologies for the foolish things he has done. When I return to Dongyang, I will definitely present him with one thousand taels of gold to express my gratitude for the Emperor of Daning's generosity."

"Mr. Ling, you are too polite. No matter which country we are from, family love is priceless. I admire your ability to wander abroad for eight years in search of your brother. There is no need to give gold. I will naturally do my best to help you in any way I can on the territory of Daning Kingdom."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not linger here any longer. I will go back and pack my things. Tomorrow morning, before we leave, I will send you a copy of my brother's missing person notice. Then we will head south and north. After searching in these two directions, no matter what the result, we will return to Dongyang and will definitely not cause you any trouble."

"Okay, I will issue an order to the officials along the way, asking them to cooperate with you and help you find the person."

Ling Feng nodded gratefully. He then looked at Luo Lan, smiled at her, and said with a fist:

"Goodbye."

Watching him stride out the door, Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really hope he finds his brother soon."

Leng Yu frowned and looked at Luo Lan.

"You won't blame me for hiding something from you, will you?"

Luo Lan stuck out her nose at him.

"Why not? But considering that you handled this matter reasonably, I won't hold it against you."

After saying that, she looked at him tenderly.

"I'll go to the backyard to see An An first..."

Without waiting for his response, she trotted out.

I heard that the imperial edict looking for the number one scholar has been posted, and it has caused quite a stir in the capital. Now is the time for An An to step forward.

As soon as she left the house, Ah Hong came to greet her anxiously.

"My Lady, this is bad! The woman Young Master Ling brought with her is fighting with An An..."

"Why did they start fighting?"

Luo Lan's questioning was heard by Leng Yu, who also came out to ask,

"What's going on?"

Ah Hong shook her head with a look of ignorance.

"I just heard what the girl said, so I thought of coming to inform you. I don't know what's going on."

"Go check it out."

After saying that, Leng Yu and Luo Lan quickly walked towards the back garden.

At this time, Aji was glaring at An An with her hands on her hips, and An An was glaring back at her in the same way.

Yi Cheng kept advising An An,

"An An, she's a guest, let's not treat her like that."

"What's wrong with being a guest? Can a guest touch my things? Look, she bent the blade of my sword. She did it on purpose. She has to compensate me."

Aji raised his head and glared at her angrily.

"Your broken sword has such a weak edge. I just hit it on this stone and it broke. Can you blame me for that?"

"Is your sword used to cut stone?"
