In addition, there is another thing that surprised the courtiers even more...

Lan Nian'an, who had a cold and serious expression, smiled for the first time in his life. From time to time, he also accepted all the government affairs reports reported to the courtiers. He seemed to have changed from the "cold king" to a "kind man".

What's going on?

All the court officials looked at each other.

Doubts remain doubts, but Lan Nian'an's transformation has also brought incredible results. There has never been a day when the courtiers in the court were so enthusiastic about participating in politics. Because of Lan Nian'an's transformation, it seems that each of them is willing to put the backlog in their hearts.

When they put forward constructive suggestions, Lan Nianan's appreciative glance was a great affirmation for them.

"Liu Yong, the minister of ministers." At this time, an old minister who had always wanted to impeach Lan Nian'an, who had been in a cold war with Lan Nian'an for a long time, actually put forward his own political opinions. This was the first time in history.

Lan Nian'an smiled softly. His majesty and domineering power were unparalleled, and at the same time he had an inexplicable affinity.

"Let's play."

The old minister's eyes were full of gratitude. For a courtier, no emotion is more precious than being valued by the emperor and having his talents valued.

"According to the news I received, the Emperor of Hu Qiuguo, a small affiliated country, paid a private visit to our country of Anguo incognito."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your hard work!"

"Old ministers don't have to work hard! It's the duty of an old minister to devote himself to the country and die." Liu Yongzhong said sincerely, with crystal tears flashing in his eyes. He was deeply moved and felt that he was very valued.

Frowning, Lan Nian'an suddenly became thoughtful, because Liu Shangshu's participation was very valuable.

The reason why it is valuable starts with Hu Qiuguo’s special position.

Although Hu Qiuguo is only a small country, the unification of the four countries must pass through Hu Qiuguo as a pass. Therefore, Hu Qiuguo is a strategic place where one man can guard the gate and no one can open it. It is a place that military strategists must fight for. Whoever gets the support of Hu Qiuguo is equivalent to taking a step forward.

an important step.

And now Emperor Hu Qiuguo comes to Anguo for a private visit, which is very exciting news. Firstly, it shows that Hu Qiuguo intends to cooperate with Anguo. Even if it is not the case, it at least shows that Emperor Hu Qiuguo is very interested in Anguo. For the current plan,

The most important thing is to find the emperor of Hu Qiuguo and leave a good impression on him. This is the first step in diplomacy.

After pondering, Lan Nianan turned to look at Bai Zhao, "General Bai, is there any news about where Emperor Hu Qiuguo went incognito?"

Bai Zhao said respectfully, "We don't know this yet, but my subordinates can check it out immediately."

"Okay, let's check it carefully. I want the most detailed report!" Lan Nian'an ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Zhao left the Dragon Palace and disappeared among the vast red bricks and tiles...

Soon Bai Zhao sent news that the emperor of Hu Qiuguo had arrived in the capital of Anguo in the past two days. The specific whereabouts have yet to be investigated. He only knows that he is very close to the palace...

Lan Nian'an became a little worried after learning the news. He had the most complete intelligence system. If even Bai Zhao didn't know where the emperor of Hu Qiuguo was after his investigation, the matter would become less optimistic.

Could it be that Emperor Hu Qiuguo deliberately blocked the news? No matter what, he must find this elusive emperor...

…

Outside the tall and gorgeous palace walls, several towering trees swayed in the wind, seeming to peek into the various secrets of the palace.

The red walls are set against the green, which is particularly beautiful and grand. We have already left the palace, but standing here, we can feel the magnificence and majesty of the palace the most.

"My Lady, it's too risky for you to sneak out of the palace. If someone discovers you..." A little maid in pink uniform followed a "gongzi" dressed as a man, wearing white clothes.

The "gongzi" has a unique temperament and an air of immortality.

"Shh." An Nuanzhi signaled Ruyi to be silent. She didn't want to reveal her flaws as soon as she left the palace. She straightened her white robe and signaled Ruyi to wait for a while before speaking.

An Nuanzhi sneaked out of the palace with Ruyi for no other reason. Recently, she also heard that Lord Hu Qiu came to Anguo for an incognito patrol, but Bai Zhao and the others never found the whereabouts of Lord Hu Qiu. Lannian An was worried about this matter.

After all, this is a good opportunity for the two countries to strengthen diplomacy, and it would be a pity to let it pass.

An Nuanzhi couldn't bear to see An worried all day long, so in order to help him solve his problems, she took the risk and slipped out of the palace to look for Emperor Hu Qiuguo. Didn't he mean that he was already very close to the palace? She was ready to try her luck.

"Empress, tell me why Emperor Hu Qiuguo has lost sight of his dragon. General Bai and the others can't find him. Can we find him?" After walking a hundred steps, Ruyi spoke again. Her big eyes wrote:

He looked at An Nuanzhi with doubts, not quite confident in his departure from the palace this time.

An Nuanzhi looked into the distance calmly and said with confidence, "Although Hu Qiuguo is a small country, it is not a barren country. Moreover, I heard that the scenery is very beautiful, and the business and economy are developed. Emperor Hu Qiuguo should not be inspecting Anguo, but

It’s not just for sightseeing, there’s probably only one reason why he came here.”

"What's the reason?" Ruyi's little brain is not full, and she really can't guess what this strange emperor is thinking.

An Nuanzhi patted Ruyi's shoulder, "Stop asking, let's go, follow me to the busiest brothel in Kyoto."

"Borthello?"

Ruyi was quite surprised. Only now did she finally understand the reason why An Nuan was wearing men's clothing...

It turns out that their queen had a plan for a long time! Hey! Their queen is really resourceful and exquisite!

But when I turned around and thought about it, if the emperor of Hu Qiuguo was really in the brothel, what was his purpose of going to the brothel?

At this time, Ruyi was completely confused...

The most prosperous street in Anguo is always extremely quiet during the day, but at night, the most wonderful exquisiteness appears, with lights roaring, paper scraps and gold fans.

This is the largest brothel in Anguo, and it is also a place where high-ranking officials spend a lot of money and live in drunken dreams. It is said that the total amount of money transacted here in one night can account for a year's salary of a second-grade court official.

This is an occasion for worshiping money, and it is also a place where beauty, stunningness, magnificence and luxury often appear together. Many people are crazy about it, and many people pay a heavy price for it.

With the singing and dancing and the sound of orchestral music, no one noticed that a man in a black robe had reserved the same private room by the window on the second floor for several days in a row. He did not order any singers or dancers. He came every time at the right time.

I leave at regular intervals, very regularly.

"Your Majesty... No, Young Master, you have been here for nearly seven days. Why do you only stay in the private room and don't go out for a walk?" A young follower stood next to the man in black robe. He was very surprised.

Why does their master repeat the same behavior every night?

The man in black robe smiled slightly, he wasn't just staying in the private room, it was just that he didn't find a suitable "target", that's all.

The jade fan in his hand opened slightly, and the man in black robe shook it carelessly twice. His sight casually glanced through the window to the first floor. A white and beautiful figure caught his sight, and the corner of his mouth opened slightly.

The ground rises, and rises again.

With a roar, he stood up.

The little follower was obviously startled. He followed their master's eyes and looked towards the first floor.

I saw a young man in white clothes walking in. His appearance was very beautiful and fair, and his black hair was tied back and hung casually. Although he did not have any accessories on his body, he exuded an unusual sense of nobility.

, the key is his eyes, which are crystal clear and beautiful and can be called peerless.

His appearance silenced the lobby on the first floor. Many brothel girls looked at him in fascination, while the dignitaries opened their mouths in surprise...

"Interesting!" The man in black robe suddenly laughed. He stared at the earlobe of the young man in white. It was obvious that there were two tiny holes in the pearl-like earlobe...

Suddenly, the man in black robe was very interested in his appearance.

But the little follower is breaking out in a cold sweat. The purpose of their master's coming to Anguo in private this time is to choose a concubine. Hu Qiuguo still hopes that their master will continue the family line. Why is their master suddenly interested in men? What if this is really the case?

How about explaining to the Queen Mother?

"He'er, please bring him up." The man in black robe motioned to the little follower to go downstairs. Although the little follower was almost hurt, he had no choice but to obey the order.

An Nuanzhi didn't expect that as soon as she showed up at the brothel, someone would invite her to drink. It showed that her personal charm was quite great when she dressed up in men's clothing. She thought she was attracted by some stunning beauty or a charming maiko, but she didn't expect that when she followed her

A boy went up to the second floor, the door opened, and in front of her was a man in black robe.

I saw that this man was majestic and majestic, with an indescribable nobility between his eyebrows. His eyes were very bright, his eyelids were sharp, and his long eyelashes were much longer than those of ordinary women. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that since

An Nuanzhi went in, his eyes never leaving her.

An Nuanzhi didn't show any restraint. She hugged her fists and said, "Master, thank you for your compliment and inviting me to come have a drink. I wonder what your surname is?"

"Xiao." The man in black robe said in a short and powerful voice. He tilted his head and motioned for An Nuanzhi to sit down.

Some information quickly flashed through An Nuanzhi's mind. There are more than a hundred surnames in Anguo, but there is no "Xiao" surname. This shows that this surname is not made up, so this man is not from Anguo at all...

What is his identity?

An Nuanzhi looked him up and down quickly, but she didn't expect that the other person was also looking at her. There was a hint of mystery in his eyes, as well as a hint of inquiry.

"Brother Xiao, it's weird that we are the only two grown men here. Since you generously invited me to drink, I'll treat Brother Xiao to be cool! How about it?" An Nuanzhi was not being polite. She really felt that there were two "big men"

"Man" is very weird sitting here...
