News of the consecration ceremony of the Royal Garden spread quickly.
Lord Annan came to the garden to enjoy the righteousness of heaven and earth.
All civil and military officials gathered in the garden.
A grand event is about to begin.
Li Gao was extremely busy.
Yan Qi gave him too many things to supervise personally, many of which were rare items and difficult to buy.
Li Gao was afraid of affecting the luck of the consecration, so he had to do everything personally.
It took a lot of effort to purchase all the items.
During this period, Li Gao transferred Brother Ruan back to He County.
A few days ago, Dahua naval forces attacked Annan Pier.
King De and Brother Ruan scrambled to send troops.
Li Gao intervened.
In the end, Li Gao overpowered King Duc and asked Brother Ruan to fight.
Now, the palace is going to hold a consecration ceremony.
King De will definitely participate.
No matter where King De is, he must have heavy troops.
Li Gao was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he naturally wanted to transfer Brother Ruan back to his post.
All this is within Yan Qi's calculation.
…
Brother Ruan was transferred back to He County and first visited Li Gao.
Li Gao now regards Brother Ruan as his right-hand man.
Chen Youde is dead and Wulin is disabled. Only Brother Ruan can pose a strong threat to King De.
In particular, Brother Ruan is very loyal to himself now.
When Li Gao saw Brother Ruan return to He County, the first thing he did was to say hello to him, and he felt more at ease with Brother Ruan.
Li Gao asked Brother Ruan about the war ahead.
Brother Ruan said: "Xu Tianhu's navy is very sharp. Now is the stalemate stage. You come and I go, no matter who wins or loses."
Li Gao was very satisfied: "Okay, okay, as long as we can hold a stalemate with Xu Tianhu's navy, it will be victory. King De can't find any excuses. Haha."
Brother Ruan handed over his hand: "As long as the Imperial Preceptor trusts me, I will definitely serve the Imperial Preceptor as well as I can."
"Not bad."
Li Gao was very happy: "If you do your job well, I will not treat you badly."
Brother Ruan said: "The Imperial Master has nothing else to do, so I will retire first. I will inspect the palace. I am now the commander of the Royal Forest Army. I have to inspect the palace so that King De can find an excuse to gossip."
Brother Ruan was even happier when he heard this: "Okay, you go and inspect."
…
Brother Ruan's inspection of the palace is fake, but his visit to Yan Qi is real.
This is the agreement between him and Yan Qi.
Brother Ruan did not go to Yan Qi directly, but inspected everywhere.
Finally, the garden fortifications were inspected.
Brother Ruan saw that there was a piece of earth that had not been dealt with, and he became furious: "How can there be masses of earth in the palace? Deal with it immediately, let me deal with it immediately. Huang Ke, please find Lu Tian immediately and let him handle this matter. Also You craftsmen, clear away the earth immediately.”
he yelled.
A group of craftsmen rushed over to deal with it, fearing that they would offend the upstart.
Huang Ke didn't expect Brother Ruan to suddenly lose his temper and hurried to find Yan Qi.
"Master Lu, it's bad, General Ruan is angry. Have you offended General Ruan somewhere? This is terrible."
Huang Ke found Yan Qi and was very worried.
Yan Qi snickered in her heart: Brother Ruan is getting better and better at acting.
He had a worried look on his face: "Thank you Mr. Huang for the tip. Isn't it because I haven't honored General Ruan recently? General Ruan is a little unhappy. I will prepare a gift for General Ruan. Come, Mr. Huang, everyone who sees you can have one." , you also help me to intercede."
Yan Qi put a handful of silver notes into Huang Ke's hand.
"Oh, Mr. Lu is so polite. How can this happen?"
Huang Ke said he couldn't do it, but put the money in his pocket.
The grin reached the back of his head.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely say a few kind words for you."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Huang."
…
Huang Ke took Yan Qi to see Brother Ruan.
Yan Qi forced out a smile: "General Ruan is well."
Brother Ruan looked at Yan Qi and put on a show: "Although you and I have a good personal relationship, I am a person who can distinguish between public and private things. Look, these earthworks are piled here, which greatly affects the image of the palace. You give me Deal with it immediately, otherwise, I will definitely report it to the National Preceptor."
"I'll deal with it right away, right away."
Yan Qi immediately presented a handful of silver notes to Brother Ruan: "General Ruan, please take care of me."
"Yeah, easy to say."
Brother Ruan deliberately collected the banknotes in front of Huang Ke and acted out a play with Yan Qi.
Because Huang Ke is Li Gao's spy.
Many times, smiling tigers like Huang Ke are the ones to guard against.
Yan Qidao: "General Ruan, please come inside and I'll pour you a cup of tea."
Brother Ruan nodded and said to Huang Ke: "Please, Mr. Huang, please supervise the work here and make sure that the craftsmen dispose of these earthworks properly."
Huang Ke said: "Don't worry, General Ruan, I will definitely do a good job in this matter."
After Brother Ruan performed a play, he went in for tea at Yan Qi's warm invitation.
Huang Ke did not doubt that he was there. He held his waist and ordered the craftsmen arrogantly: "Hurry up and work quickly. If you dare to delay again, General Ruan will chop off your dogs' heads with his sword."
…
Brother Ruan entered the study room and hurriedly handed over to Yan Qi: "Master Yan, I have offended you so much just now. Huang Ke has been following me. I can't get rid of Huang Ke, so I can only do this."
Yan Qi suddenly thought: "Well done, keep up the good work."
The two laughed.
Yan Qi poured tea for Brother Ruan.
Brother Ruan glanced at Huang Ke outside the window and said hurriedly: "Huang Ke will come in soon. If Master Yan has any arrangements, just ask him, and I will definitely do it."
Yan Qixiao asked Brother Ruan: "How was the battle with Xu Tianhu in the water?"
Brother Ruan scratched his head and said sheepishly: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Yan Qi's eyes were strange: "I have already contacted Xu Tianhu. Naturally, he will not win against you."
"ah?"
Brother Ruan was startled: "It turns out that Mr. Yan has already informed Xu Tianhu. I thought my water battle suddenly became more powerful."
Yan Qidao: "Xu Tianhu can't defeat you, can he? What you need now is to accumulate prestige. If you don't have prestige, how can you control the army more quickly?"
Brother Ruan handed over his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for making it possible."
Yan Qi lowered his voice: "You must quickly take control of the army controlled by Li Gao, because the situation changes quickly, and maybe one day, Li Gao will click and disappear from the world."
"Disappear from the world?"
Brother Ruan suddenly became nervous: "Is Master Yan going to take action?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Don't be so nervous. However, the situation has reached a very delicate moment, and it will break down and change drastically at any time."
"Remember, your mission is to gain Li Gao's trust as quickly as possible and control Li Gao's core army as quickly as possible."
"At least, you have to do it. After Li Gao disappears from the world, you can quickly control the army of Li Gao and let them be used for you. Otherwise, how can you deal with King De's iron hoof? This is the door for you to rise to power. Where you are, you must remember, remember.”
Brother Ruan clenched his fists: "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I will definitely take control of Li Gao's core army as soon as possible."
Yan Qidao: "This consecration ceremony is an excellent opportunity for you to control Li Gao's core army. You must cherish it."
When Brother Ruan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Master Yan, please give me some advice."
