Luo Jin’an’s expression turned severe. Then he said, “Everyone, split into ten teams and set off from different directions. We will gather outside Dingyang City nearby the deceased royal’s mansion.”

“Yes, sir!”

Everyone immediately split into ten teams and set off, but Luo Jin’an did not. Instead, he asked the remaining people in Heishao Village to collect some branches and stones.

Luo Jin’an then began setting up some things at the village’s entrance. Su Binglan did not understand what her husband planned to do until he finished setting up traps.

“Jin’an, you’re setting traps?”

She noticed the traps looked familiar because they had encountered them in the forest while looking for the Purple Spirit Ginseng. Although the traps looked highly similar, there were minor differences.

Luo Jin’an had modified the traps, making them more deadly than the ones they saw in the forest. He softly said, “Mm, yes, I am. Now the people here will be much safer.’

Although he had sent most of his people to the mansion, the others were not soldiers but the Wei family’s subordinates. These people were not proficient in fighting and could only stay at Heishao Village. Nonetheless, Luo Jin’an still wanted to ensure their safety.

“You know how to set up a protective barrier, huh?”

The traps Luo Jin’an laid out were quite complex. One might not be able to copy it even if one learned it. One must be talented and proficient in trap formations to learn it well.

However, Su Binglan did not remember her husband learning about traps.

“We saw these formations when we went to look for the Purple Spirit Ginseng in the forest,” Luo Jin’an explained, “Many things about mechanisms and traps came to my mind then.”

Some strange memories appeared in his mind just after eating the medicine his wife had made from the Purple Spirit Ginseng to dispel his cold poison. These memories consisted of mechanisms and trap formations.

Therefore, Luo Jin’an knew how to set up protective formations to keep the people of Heishao Village safe. That way, intruders would have trouble entering the village even though the villagers who were proficient in martial arts were absent.

Even if the intruders tried barging in forcefully, they would fall into these trap formations and die.

After setting up the traps, Luo Jin’an could rest assured when leaving for the mansion.

Su Binglan furrowed her brows when she heard her husbands words.

‘He suddenly regained some memories? Does he have memories of a previous life like how I have mine? Or rather, memories from another soul.’

“Did anything else appear in your mind besides that?” Su Binglan asked.

“No.” Luo Jin’an shook his head.

After setting everything up, he saw Su Binglan’s furrowed brows and reached to smooth them out, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m still me, no matter what kind of memories I have.’

His words relieved Su Binglan of her thoughts. She nodded. “Yeah.”

Soon after, Luo Jin’an gave Wei Cheng instructions before bringing Wei Ying,

Wei Chuan, and Wei Shi to Dingyang City. The group sped along the way. Falling Snow’s speed was incredible, and its battle intent was firm.

The surrounding horses sensed Falling Snow’s aura and followed suit.

Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu had remained in Su Teng Village since Su Binglan went to the border to look for her husband. Lan Ruozhu wondered if Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew he was King Lan Ruozhu.

The older couple only considered him family because their daughter had acknowledged him as her brother. Moreover, they felt sorry for Lan Ruozhu when they saw his weak body.

The Su family had cooked delicious food for him daily to nourish his body since Su Binglan left for the border almost a month ago. Lan Ruozhu had recovered fully during his sister’s absence, and he was healthy now.

He would also help Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua around the house. Although the older couple did not ask him for help, he still wanted to express his gratitude since they cared for him so much.

Lan Ruozhu’s legs were much better now, and he could jump easily. He even started practicing martial arts again. He also recognized Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua as his foster parents.

He lived with them comfortably, just like in his own home. He liked Su Teng

Village because he could feel its liveliness and warmth. The Su family was also caring toward him.

Lan Ruozhu ate and slept well there. He felt relaxed and like he had already retired. Of course, he did not forget his mission.

Although he lived in Su Teng Village seemingly peacefully, he constantly received new information from his subordinates. Hence, he knew everything that was happening beyond Su Teng Village.

He and his sister trained many people in the past and planted many spies in various places. Lan Ruozhu had access to these spies at critical times. He also knew what was happening inside the Imperial Court and other important places.

Of course, he also knew that Emperor Chu Jian was severely ill, even though the latter had always paid close attention to his health. Therefore, it was strange for him to be severely ill.

If he was not faking it, it was highly likely that someone had poisoned him. After all, Imperial physicians would receive bribes just like ordinary people would.

Moreover, the crown prince was in a hurry to ascend the throne. It was also possible for him to act against his father, the emperor.

Lan Ruozhu had received these pieces of information from the spies he had placed in the palace. He had people watching them and reporting their every move to him.

Lan Ruozhu seemed to have thought of something and called Blue Eagle over. “We can mobilize the spies we planted in the Imperial Academy of Medicine now. Tell them to find out if Emperor Chu Jian is sick or if he’s just pretending. ”

He and his sister had made plenty of preparations and planted spies in several places. However, the spies would have to stay low if the two siblings did not beckon them.

They had to keep low profiles so that others would not suspect them of anything. That way, no one would notice when the spies did their masters’ bidding at critical moments.

Lan Ruozhu could do many more things now that he had recovered. He was ready to start drawing in his net step by step according to his plans.

‘The emperor can’t die so suddenly. I want him to bear infamy before dying. He cares about his position most, right? Then I’ll make him watch as his entire world crumbles around him.

‘No one would listen to his orders then, and his son wants to kill him. I must avenge my parents, sister, and many other families who suffered from the emperor’s reign.’

“Yes, Master. I’ll make the arrangements now.” When Blue Eagle left to settle his task, Blue One stayed beside Lan Ruozhu.

Lan Ruozhu typically did not stay home most of the time. Instead, he would go for walks to see the changes in his surroundings. During this period, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had finished building their food store on a large piece of land east of their house. Their store was not far from the tofu factory.

Now that Su Fengchen had a proper food store, he followed his sister’s methods, hired people to work for him, and paid them excellent wages and bonuses.

His products were famous, and his business was good, so he and his wife earned a lot since opening their store. They could also pay their workers better and save more with their earnings.

Su Binglan had also placed Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin in charge of the noodle shop before she left for the border. The young couple asked their children to help with the shop.

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinvin were waiting for Su Binglan to return before hiring people to work at the noodle shop..
