Qi Yan was silent for the rest of the trip and closed his eyes to recuperate. When he opened his eyes again, the sedan chair had stopped and Ning Yuan beside him was trying to wake himself up.

They had arrived at the General’s mansion.

There was a golden plaque on the side with characters like a dancing dragon. The current emperor personally nominated the name –Zhen Guo General’s Mansion.

Opening the curtain of the sedan chair, Qi Yan’s mouth curled slightly. He looked at such magnificent and dignified general’s mansion with a smile, then he chuckled and shook his head twice.

Behind him, Ning Yuan followed and quietly asked, “What is the young master thinking?””

Qi Yan smiled indifferently and raised followed the footsteps of the steward of the general’s mansion.

In the future, the emperor was afraid of the general’s mansion because of the self-confidence and arrogance of the female lead, He Hui, and wanted to remove the Puyang Zheng’s tiger talisman1虎符 The tiger talisman is a military talisman used by ancient emperors to dispatch troops. It is made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger, and it is split into two halves. The left half is given to the general, and the right half is kept by the emperor. Only when two Tiger Talismans are used together at the same time, the holder of the Talisman will have the right to dispatch troops.. The female lead felt that her face was slapped; she took advantage of Puyang Zheng’s entry into the court to dismiss the servants. She wanted to fight with the emperor to death, but the emperor mistakenly thought that the general’s mansion was going to be rebel, so he imprisoned Puyang Zheng and took over the general’s mansion.……

What will happen in the future was really distressing. No one knew if the General’s Mansion would still be as glorious as it was today.

“It is an honor for the general’s mansion to be visited by the owner of HeHuan shop in person.” The housekeeper’s polite words came to Qi Yan’s ears. He couldn’t help but sigh at the management system of the general’s mansion.

It stands to reason that the status of the housekeeper of the General’s mansion is higher than the owner of HeHuan shop. This honor should have been ironic, but the steward’s sincere and respectful attitude subverted the meaning of this sentence.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Qi Yan cupped his hand back and said, “The general’s mansion is not like others. Since it is the first time we cooperate, I am afraid that something might go wrong, so I come here in person. I hope the housekeeper will not take offense.”

“You’re being too polite!” The housekeeper touched his beard; a touch of appreciation flashed across his eyes: “The owner is so thoughtful. The General’s mansion would like to express its gratitude.””

“The housekeeper doesn’t have to call me owner. My name is Qi Yan, if the housekeeper doesn’t dislike it, you can just call me Mr. Qi.”

The housekeeper smiled and nodded: “Master Qi, please come inside.”

The outer courtyard was very lively. The theater set up was gorgeous and exquisite, several banquet tables were arranged on both sides, and finally in the middle was the main seat where PuYang Zheng was sitting.

In a room in the backyard, Ning Yuan was served by a maid to put on makeup. Qi Yan sat on a soft couch on one side, instructing her unhurriedly.

“You have to remember, if someone is drunk and frivolous towards you, don’t panic or be afraid. You can follow him; he won’t dare to do anything to you in front of others.” Qi Yan wrung his fingers and said slowly: “I won’t let him do anything. The most important thing is don’t screw up this business. The General’s mansion has both status and power. If you offend the general’s mansion, don’t complain that I didn’t protect you.”

“Ning Yuan remembers.”

The smell of rouge in the room gradually became pungent, Qi Yan frowned, got up and walked out: “I’ll go out for a walk. If there is nothing important, don’t look for me.”

As the words fell, the person had disappeared at the door. Ning Yuan glanced in that direction and let out a long sigh.

The courtyard of the General’s mansion is neither luxurious nor exquisite. Everything is not specially taken care of. Instead, it grows freely following nature’s will. Even the rockery by the long pool is a naturally formed rock with unique shape. At first glance, it felt tasteless.

Sitting on the edge of the rock, watching the clear pool of water, Qi Yan gradually lost his senses and his thoughts drifted to the ends of the earth.

He was dressed in white and sat casually against the rock; his black as ink hair was tied loose behind his head. With green leaves and hard stones as the setting, beautiful willow eyebrows, vermilion lips, and jade skin; it was a picture that nourishes people’s eyes and ears.

When PuYang Zheng arrived, this was the scene that greeted him.
