The one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.
Princess Lu Jie has studied information about Jin Feng countless times, and she may know Jin Feng's past better than Jin Feng himself.
She knows that Jin Feng is good at mechanics, and she also knows the gap between her and Jin Feng in this aspect, so she summoned so many technical talents to follow her this time, hoping that through this study, she can narrow the gap between her and Jin Feng.
The gap in machinery.
But now Princess Lu Jie realizes that she may have thought too simplistically.
Jin Feng's attainments in mechanics far exceeded Princess Lu Jie's imagination.
At this moment, Princess Lu Jie's heart was filled with despair, and she even felt a bone-deep fear.
Since Jin Feng can apply the steam engine to wood saws, it can also be used in other aspects.
With Jin Feng here, the gap between Dongman and Dakang will never get smaller, but will only get bigger!
Based on the conflict between the Eastern Barbarians and Dakang, it is self-evident what the outcome will be for the Eastern Barbarians when Jin Feng becomes stronger.
At this moment, Princess Lu Jie was confused.
She didn't know how to negotiate with Jin Feng next.
After standing in front of the saw for more than ten minutes, Princess Lu Jie calmed herself down and moved forward.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner. Should we eat in the canteen at the dock or go back to eat?"
Jiang Wenwen took half a step forward and asked.
How can Princess Lu Jie think about eating now? But if she doesn't eat, her people don't eat, and the bodyguards have to eat too.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If it's convenient, let's eat here."
Dock No. 3 is quite far from the yard where they live, and the round trip will probably take quite a while.
Princess Lu Jie doesn't want to waste time on the road.
Jiang Wenwen didn't want to run back and forth anymore. Hearing this, he nodded quickly: "It's convenient, but there is a big pot of rice in the cafeteria. I'm afraid I'm neglecting His Highness."
"Miss Jiang, we people in the grassland are not pampered. When I was a child, I went hunting in the grassland and often ate wild vegetables raw." Princess Lu Jie shook her head with a smile.
This is not nonsense. The people of the Eastern Barbarians are tough and worship the strong. The princes and princesses are also looked down upon because they are too weak.
The Eastern Barbarian royal family has stricter requirements for their children than ordinary herdsmen. The prince must go hunting every year after he is twelve years old, and the princess is thirteen years old.
The hunting process lasts for half a month, but when setting off, each person can only bring three days of food rations. If you still can't catch prey after three days, you will starve to death!
The hunting area for the princes and princesses was designated in advance, and no one else was allowed to appear in the area. The princes and princesses could not find anyone if they wanted to seek help.
In history, there were indeed many princes and princesses who never came back after going hunting.
Either they were attacked by wolves and eaten, or they starved to death on the grassland.
Although Princess Lu Jie was favored, she could not escape the hunt.
She is twenty years old and has participated in hunting for seven consecutive years. Twice she almost starved to death on the grassland, and several times she was almost surrounded by wolves. It was a narrow escape.
So she really ate wild grasses, more than once.
"Since His Highness doesn't mind, I'll have someone prepare it."
Jiang Wenwen nodded and winked at a female escort, who quickly ran out.
By the time Princess Lu Jie and the others arrived at the cafeteria, the female escort had already cleared a corner of the cafeteria, leaving three tables free.
Although it was past the peak dining period, there were still many shipyard workers eating.
Seeing Princess Lu Jie and her group, they all cast curious glances.

However, seeing the female bodyguard escorting him, no worker dared to challenge him.
Jiang Wenwen took Princess Lu Jie to sit on the table in the corner, and shouted to the cook standing aside: "Old Xu, what are you doing in a daze? Let's fry some side dishes!"
"There's only a big pot of rice left. If you want to eat, you can eat. If you don't want to eat, you can leave!" the cook replied with an unkind look on his face.
In fact, the female escort who arrived earlier had already notified the cook to cook some side dishes, and the cook also put on an apron and was ready to start. However, as soon as he heard that she was the princess of Dongman, the cook immediately turned off the stove.
He was one of the original batch of refugees in Xichuan. He had a sister who joined the expeditionary force and died in the battle to defend Yuguan City.
If he hadn't heard from the female bodyguard that Jin Feng asked them to protect Princess Lu Jie, he would have just come out with a knife to kill people.
Now I still want him to turn on a small stove to cook for Princess Lu Jie. How is that possible?
Princess Lu Jie also felt the hostility of the cook, shook her head and said: "Big pot rice is good, just give us big pot rice."
"This is not a restaurant. I only cook and don't serve the dishes. If you want to eat, you can serve it yourself!"
The cook snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know what medicine Lao Xu took today. He's so angry!"
Jiang Wenwen's tone was a little helpless.
"It's okay," Princess Lu Jie shook her head and said, "We Dongman once hurt Dakang. It's normal for some people to dislike me."
After Princess Lu Jie said this, Jiang Wenwen suddenly remembered that the cook Lao Xu was from Xichuan.
The first batch of Zhenyuan female soldiers who followed Zhang Liang to Yuguan City were almost all from Xichuan, and almost all of them died in Yuguan City in the end.
Could it be that Lao Xu’s relatives are in the military?
Jiang Wenwen finally understood why Lao Xu, who had always been cheerful, suddenly became so temperamental.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wenwen signaled a female escort to go get some food, and then without even saying hello to Princess Lu Jie, he got up and walked out of the cafeteria, where he found Lao Xu who was hiding in a corner and secretly wiping his tears.
"I'm sorry, Lao Xu, I forgot just now that you are from Xichuan."
Jiang Wenwen squatted next to Lao Xu and apologized proactively.
"Platoon Commander Jiang, we in Xichuan don't know how many people died in Yuguan City at the hands of the Eastern Barbarians. If the princess of the Eastern Barbarians dares to come to our Dakang, she should be stripped naked and hung at the city gate. The National Normal University
Why do people still send you to lead people to protect her? Why do they still entertain her? "
the cook asked with red eyes.
"This..." Jiang Wenwen was also asked.
When the reinforcements were sent to Yuguan City, almost all the female workers in the tin can factory went there, and many sisters died in that battle.
In fact, she doesn't like Princess Lu Jie either, but it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Zuo Feifei asked her to bring people to protect Princess Lu Jie, so she had no choice but to come.
But she had no way to answer the cook's question.
Just when the two of them were silent, a sigh came from behind.
Then I heard someone say: "I asked Platoon Commander Jiang to protect Princess Lu Jie because too many brothers and sisters have died in Yuguan City. I don't want to see more brothers and sisters sacrificed in the Eastern Barbarians in the future!"
"gentlemen?"
When Jiang Wenwen heard this voice, he turned around suddenly.
The cook, Old Xu, also turned around suddenly and looked behind him.
Behind them, who is it but Jin Feng?
"Master Imperial Master, you...why are you here?" Lao Xu asked nervously.
