Due to the Yang Ling case, the fleet that Wang Yuan and Lu Jiaxue worked so hard to manage suffered heavy losses.Lu Jiaxue submitted the closing documents to Wang Yuan for review. Seeing that Yang Ling had confessed, Wang Yuan was quite relieved, thinking that the crisis had been resolved.In fact, Lu Jiaxue was also involved in the Tea Horse case. When Wang Yuan mentioned destroying evidence, he insisted on burning it in front of Wang Yuan. Although Wang Yuan was reluctant, he still did it.

The British public noticed from the Yang Ling case that Luo Shenyuan was not a good person.As Luo Shenyuan's classmate, Yang Ling was involved in the case and his mentor, Master Liu, was demoted and returned to his hometown.Luo Shenyuan failed to protect his teacher well and showed indifference when Yang Ling was sentenced to beheaded by Queen Qiu. This made the British judge conclude that this person was not trustworthy and warned Luo Yining to stay away from Luo Shenyuan.Luo Yining hesitated to speak, knowing full well Luo Shenyuan's ambitions that the current separation was just a temporary measure.

Wang Yuan's fleet was destroyed and urgently needed to be rebuilt to fulfill orders.In view of his doubts about Lu Jiaxue, he decided to test Luo Shenyuan.Subsequently, Wang Yuan's men seized Luo Shenyuan's wine shop and found prohibited exotic jewelry and spices on his ship.

Luo Shenyuan learned that his property had been investigated and his jewelry had been stolen, and he realized that this was Wang Yuan's deliberate act.He personally went to Wang's house, begged Wang Yuan in a low voice to let him go, and promised that he would be grateful in the future.Seeing this, Wang Yuan took the opportunity to ask Luo Shenyuan if he was Chen Jiuheng's disciple.

Luo Shenyuan was well prepared and frankly admitted that when he was not taken seriously by the Luo family, he had secretly studied outside the family, and that teacher was Chen Jiuheng.As for Chen Daoyuan, this is his way of repaying his teacher's kindness.Luo Shenyuan's answer was impeccable. Wang Yuan couldn't find any flaws for a while, so he asked Luo Shenyuan to choose a day to get rid of the British Duke as a sign of surrender.

Luo Shenyuan was secretly frightened, but this was the key to winning Wang Yuan's trust. He had to accept it and began to plan countermeasures.

On the other hand, the British official planned to take Luo Yining to offer incense. After Wang Yuan learned the news, due to the busy schedule of the British official, only Luo Yining went alone.At the same time, Lu Jiaxue heard the news that the British stallion was frightened while inspecting the city defense. He was worried about Luo Yining's safety and rushed to the scene immediately.

Luo Yining's sedan was suddenly attacked by an assassin. A masked man pierced the sedan curtain with a sword, almost injuring Luo Yining.Luo Yining recognized the familiar look in the assassin's eyes, it was Luo Shenyuan.

At this critical moment, Lu Jiaxue's carriage arrived in time.Luo Shenyuan continued to assassinate Luo Yining desperately, but accidentally stabbed him in the shoulder.Lu Jiaxue was so furious that he not only severely wounded Luo Shenyuan, but also annihilated all the men sent by Wang Yuan to secretly protect Luo Shenyuan.

After this incident, the British Duke severed relations with Luo Shenyuan, and Luo Yining also decided not to see Luo Shenyuan again.This was actually Luo Shenyuan's strategy to protect them from being implicated in his actions.

Luo Shenyuan successfully passed the test and won Wang Yuan's trust, and was even expected to take over the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.Lu Jiaxue finally saw through Luo Shenyuan's plan and warned him not to get carried away.
