Really, as long as you have enough food to keep you hungry, you won’t rebel and cause trouble.
It's the shops in the city, because quite a few of them are shops controlled by aristocratic families. The shopkeepers of these shops have been working with the aristocratic families for a long time, and they don't pay attention to princesses like Su Luo at all.
In their eyes, the aristocratic family is the best in the world, even if the King of Heaven comes, it will not matter.
Su Luo issued a price reduction notice, but several stores refused to comply.
Xiao Yu's entourage and the dead soldiers brought from the eldest princess's palace have been assigned to deal with Liang Shengyue's 5,000 troops. Su Luo can only use the escorts to deal with those merchants.
But the merchants had their own thugs, and relying on their strength in numbers, they didn't take Su Luo and the escorts seriously at all.
"I've never heard of it! The price of medicine is not the same as ours. Not to mention in a small county like Jieshi County, even in an imperial city like Kyoto, the price of medicine is not as high? Why should we lower the price? Why?
What! We won’t surrender!
If you have the guts, just steal our store!
Besides, we have heard that the King of Nanhuai is going to rebel! You are all rebellious officials and traitors, why should you care about us!
If you want to lower the price, bring out the documents from the court!
You want our merchants to lower prices without paperwork? That doesn’t make sense!”
"Yes! That doesn't make sense! You are not an imperial envoy, so why should you care about this!"
The merchants are arrogant and won't give in.
"Aren't we going to help?" At the entrance of the alley, Xiao Zhuzi saw that Su Luo was surrounded by several merchants. Those merchants roared impassionedly and couldn't help but worry.
Su Zimu shook his head, "My sister is an adult now. She can't rely on her brother for everything. Let her solve it by herself. We have more important things to do. Have you forgotten the master's instructions?"
Xiao Zhuzi:......
After speaking, Su Zimu turned around and greeted Zhang Xiaochuan and a group of children behind him, "Hurry up, the master is waiting!"
Outside the North City Gate.
Su Zimu's master led a group of children to dig a hole under the city gate to bury the spears.
These spears were all moved from the Jieshi County government warehouse, and many of them were rusty.
"The sharp points should be pointed upwards. Bury them deeper to make them stable. When the tide comes in at midnight, try not to let them get soaked by the tide! Be careful when burying them. Don't get scratched. If the sharp points are blunt, just grind them off.
Once you sharpen it, try to make sure that every root you bury is sharp."
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaochuan and the others agreed with high spirits and enthusiasm.
The master stood on a high rock with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast sea not far away. After a while, he looked back at the group of children and said, "If they can't stop those people, you will follow them tonight."
Come on, are you nervous?"
Last night, Su Zimu and Xiao Zhuzi talked to him.
Su Zimu got straight to the point, he wanted to form a baby army.
If there is going to be a fight this time, his baby army will have to practice together.
They have been training for a long time. When Xiao Yu asked his master to train them, Su Zimu mentioned to Xiao Yu that he wanted Xiao Zhuzi to join the army in the future. These people were Xiao Zhuzi's personal soldiers.
Xiao Yu specifically ordered the gentlemen at that time to train them according to battlefield procedures.
Although they are young, the reality does not matter whether they are young or old.
When it’s time to practice, go ahead.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Xiaochuan looked back at the master with a smile, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and now I am sweating with excitement."
A tall boy also smiled and said: "Our experience this time is mainly about archery. There is no danger. We just hide in the dark and shoot them. How fun it is!"
Su Zimu said with a smile: "When the time comes, kill them one by one!"
Xiao Zhuzi glanced at Su Zimu, raised his hand to smooth the dull hair on his head, turned to the master and said, "Will they fail?"
The master looked at the vast sea in front of him, "It's hard to say, after all, the other party has a big advantage over us in that they are familiar with the terrain."
He still doesn't remember anything, but it doesn't affect his ability to make judgments based on the current situation.
...
It wasn't until midnight that Su Luo dragged her tired body back from outside.
None of the shops from those aristocratic families had any faults, and all of them were dissatisfied.
Negotiations were ineffective, and in the end we could only speak with our fists.
I thought that the escorts would be enough to deal with the thugs in the aristocratic shops, but I didn't expect that the guards sent by the emperor, with their high salaries every month, didn't even have the strength of the clerks.
If Yuzhu hadn't been able to swing the whip so well, things might not have been like this today.
"It's been a tiring day. Go to bed. I'm not sure what will happen tomorrow." As soon as she came back, Su Luo immediately told Chun Xing, "Put water on Yuzhu and let her soak her feet. How is your highness?"
Chun Xing stayed in the inner house, and when she saw them coming back, she quickly went to greet them.
There was nothing wrong with Su Luo's body. Yuzhu's clothes were torn in several places, and there were several blood marks on her exposed arms. Chun Xing felt very distressed.
"His Royal Highness's condition has stabilized. Although he is still sleeping, Doctor Qiao said it is not a problem."
After reporting to Su Luo, Chun Xing said to Yuzhu, "I'll give you water to soak your feet. You soak your feet while I apply medicine to you."
Yuzhu grabbed her and said, "No need to bother, I'm just going to rest for a while. No one is sure what will happen tonight, and I don't dare to sleep."
"No, I have to sleep, I must sleep. Even if I only sleep with a cup of tea, you should sleep with me!" Su Luo said seriously, "You are the only one in front of me who knows kung fu. You have also seen those people in the escort team.
, you can’t count on it at the critical moment, you have to make sure your body doesn’t collapse, you know?”
Su Luo also felt sorry for Yuzhu and was reluctant to use her like this.
But there is no way.
She wished that she could act like a female knight and general, with all her skills, but she couldn't.
She only knows how to make wine and stew water...she's useless.
Meeting Su Luo's gaze, Yuzhu paused and nodded, "Okay, slave girl, go to bed."
Chun Xing quickly brought a cup of hot milk prepared for Su Luo to Yu Zhu and asked her to drink it.
Yuzhu lay down with her clothes on, and went to bed. Chunxing filled a basin of hot water, put the basin on the small corner table under the bed, and washed her feet.
That's all she can do.
Su Luo frowned and sat down on the chair, putting the map in front of her to look at.
If it were Xiao Yu, what would he do?
Su Luo pulled her hair, trying to come up with a good idea, but her mind was empty and there was nothing. Her tired face was more and more obvious against the candlelight.
After Chun Xing washed Yuzhu's feet and put Yuzhu's legs for her to sleep, she looked up and saw Su Luo.
Looking at Su Luo's cheeks that had become thinner in just a few days, I felt sour and uncomfortable.
"Princess, please take a rest."
Before Chun Xing could finish her words, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside. The sound had already arrived before anyone arrived.
"Princess! What's wrong! They didn't stop Liang Shengyue's soldiers and horses, Liang Shengyue came with people!"
