Ten years ago, after the entire Di Family was executed, Emperor Jianing did not destroy the Di Family's ancestral home and the Di Ancestral shrine, but only sent a team of guards to guard the place. These two places have been left unattended for over ten years, since the fall of the imperial family, now they become decay and decrepit no longer in their prime. However, the prestige that has been built up over the centuries still remains, so after all these years, the people of Jinan still respect this place with reverence
"If the birds are dead, good bows are hidden. Once the cunning rabbit dies, the hound is cook." Yuan Qin put down the cup in her hand and the celadon fell on the small table and made a clear and crisp sound. She raised her eyes towards the curtain and looked far away. "It's a pity that the Di Family has such a huge century-old business. If we talk about ingratitude and injustice, His Majesty is one of the best."
[ "If the birds are dead, good bows are hidden. Boil the hound once the sly rabbit is caught" - This means that if a person loses the value of use, he is killed or has a tragic ending than the others. It has the same message as 'destroying the bridge after crossing the river' and 'unloading the mill to kill the donkey.' ]
Yuan Shu blinked, a little confused by Yuan Qin's sighed. She looked at the Di Family's ancestral home for a while before lowering the curtain, suddenly noticing that the carriage was unusually quiet. When she turned her head towards Ren Anle, she saw that she had closed her eyes at some point and was sleeping lightly, her brow was deep and indifferent. The playbook in her hand had fallen besides her lap and she never picked it up again.
Half a month later, the Imperial guard of honour approached the capital.
Looking at the city gate standing not far away, Fan Wen Chao in a carriage breathes a sigh of relief. He had sent his guards back to the capital a day ago to report their progress and there was a reply from the palace. After a moment of hesitation, he ordered the procession to pause. stroking his two moustaches lifted the curtain and waved his hand at the guard s, "Call General Ren to come, I have something to tell her."
The guard was about to take the orders and go, but Fan Wen Chao called him back with a hesitant look. "Forget it, it's better for me to go there myself."
Fan Wen Chao, who had reached the position of a second-ranking official in the Imperial court was a man of understanding. Regardless of the real strength of Anle's fortress and the Emperor's obscure attitude, he had met Ren Anle twice during his days of travel.
Not knowing what to say, Fan Wen Chao nevertheless understood the moment he saw Ren Anle why this woman dared to say those shocking words in the court of Dajing.
It was true that these female bandits had a big grin on her face, but the sharpness of being in charge of a city and its tens of thousands soldiers for several years was enough to make him swallow all his words with a grimace. Ren Anle was so unlike any other noble woman he had ever seen in the capital that he could not even think of comparing them
It's not that Ren Anle was born out of the ordinary or that she was astonishing. It's just that who would talk about a warrior general and a young lady together, it would only make people laugh.
