Li Shaojun didn't tell the truth. The ninth princess Li Yumin was loved by thousands of people. Even if the father knew about it, what could he do to complain to the emperor?

The foolish and unscrupulous emperor would only think that his father had made it up, and his father might even be punished.

It would be better for him to ask for it back privately, and he had already figured out how to deal with the Ninth Princess.

I will not offend others unless they offend me, and I will offend others if they offend me. This is what his sister taught him.

Li Xianyun led a group of people to the west of Shitoutun.

This was originally a large area of ​​saline-alkali land that had been deserted for many years.

But there is no sign of desolation at present. Because of Li Xianyun, this place has become the most lively place in the countryside.

The drying houses and workshops are neatly arranged, and there is an endless stream of people coming to sell fruits or buy preserves. There are also people who come from far away to learn how to make preserves and how to make raisins.

Zhuoma followed Li Xianyun's instructions and did not drive these people away, but generously taught them experience.

Originally, Li Xianyun's purpose was not only to make money, but also to make the people around her rich.

Her efforts are already bearing fruit.

In the past, Shitoutun was the poorest village in Shili and Baxiang.

Nowadays, there are more people coming and going, and the people are trying their best to start business.

Some have opened tea shops, some have built restaurants, and some have other businesses. It can be said that there are all kinds of things.

It seems that Shitoutun is going to become a famous hotpot in every village in the country.

Li Xianyun was led by Tuotuo and looked at more than ten drying rooms.

The raisins in the first five or six drying rooms have already been dried.

The other drying rooms have not dried yet because they were dried late.

The dried raisins have different colors and shapes depending on the grape varieties.

There are green raisins that look like small gems, yellow soft raisins, and even large purple raisins.

Because each type of raisin is strictly controlled in the early stage and the workmanship is relatively solid, each one has a beautiful color and sweet taste.

Li Xianyun took some and planned to take them back to Yaduo and Yeluyan to try.

She looked at Toto and said: "Next, you need to recruit some women to take down the raisins, and use a dustpan and sieve to take out the broken branches and leaves. Make sure the raisins are clean, and then pack them with a weight of two kilograms." Put them into paper bags and give them to Dolma and let her store them in the workshop."

"Okay." Toto said.

"After these five or six drying rooms are vacated, you can continue to dry the grapes inside. Tell the old man that the harvested grapes must be tightly closed. The more good-quality grapes, the better. Don't be afraid that the drying room will not be able to fit in it."

"Yes."

After explaining Tuotuo, Li Xianyun planned to go to the workshop to have a look. As soon as she walked out of the drying room, she noticed something was wrong. There was black powder around the drying room.

Li Xianyun walked over, squatted down, applied a little black powder with her fingers, put it in front of her nose and smelled it.

Toto asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"

Li Xianyun straightened up and said, "Nothing, just start preparing as I told you."

"it is good."

After Toto left, Battle and Youlan surrounded him.

Youlan asked: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Someone wants to blow up the drying house."

To be more precise, someone wanted to blow her up, but because she had been to the Northland in the past two days and did not come to Shitoutun, those people had not yet found a chance to take action.

When Youlan heard this, she felt a chill running down her spine. Who could be so brazen and want to do such a thing?

Battle didn't have much reaction. When Li Xianyun squatted down to check, he also wiped some and smelled it, confirming that it was black powder. Li Xianyun said: "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be gunpowder not only in the drying room, but also in the workshop."

When Youlan heard this, she immediately panicked.

Li Xianyun looked at Battelle and said: "Khan should not only send you to protect me, summon the secret guards, and be sure to catch those people."

If gunpowder is ignited, we are not afraid of losing these drying houses and workshops, but these innocent people will suffer.

"Yes." Battle said.

Li Xianyun added: "Those people are easy to identify. They all wear soft boots, and their hands and faces will be very clean. They are all martial arts practitioners and walk lightly. Anyone with these characteristics will be arrested."

The features of her hands and face, as well as her walking characteristics, make it easy to infer that the people who could be sent to kill her must be those with high martial arts skills.

These people often have a high self-esteem and temporarily pretend to be ordinary people, so it is impossible for them to do everything in detail.

The most easily overlooked thing is the soft boots on their feet. It is simply deceiving oneself to think that a long gown will not be discovered.

Li Xianyun paused and continued: "Remember to keep a low profile to avoid causing panic."

"As ordered."

After getting along for a long time, Battelle became more respectful to Li Xianyun.

She is not only the Khan's favorite concubine, but also a person with a strategy who wants to truly benefit the people.

How can such a person not be respected?

After Battle left, Li Xianyun took Youlan to the workshop and whispered a few words in front of Zhuoma.

Zhuoma was so frightened that she quickly stood up, "Master, let's get out of here quickly."

If the Khan knew that they had put the princess in danger, he would definitely not spare them.

Li Xianyun said: "I have told Battelle to find these people. What we have to do now is to pour water on the black gunpowder as soon as possible to prevent those people from jumping over the wall and destroying the net."

Black powder loses its effectiveness when it comes into contact with water, which also eliminates worries.

"Yes."

"Call Jinhua and the female workers you trust. If there are more people, it will go faster."

"Yes."

After Zhuoma finished speaking, she immediately went to find someone.

Li Xianyun and Youlan fetched water and carried the buckets out.

That group of people did their work secretly. They only spread a small amount of black gunpowder on the base of the wall without connecting it into a single piece. They also spread gunpowder behind the earth and rocks or behind the house. The water was poured in quickly.

Even so, under Li Xianyun's instructions, the group did not dare to delay on the one hand, and on the other hand did not let go of any corner.

When Battle came to look for Li Xianyun, all the gunpowder on the surface had been destroyed by Li Xianyun and the others, but it was not ruled out whether they might have discovered it.

Li Xianyun asked Zhuoma and Youlan to lead people to investigate step by step, while she and Bater went to the mountain col of Yuanren. There were people guarding the top to prevent anyone from coming over to see it.

Li Xianyun saw the dark secret guards standing there at a glance.

She was stunned. She didn't expect Yeluyan to send so many people to protect her.

Five or six people knelt in the open space between these secret guards, all of whom had their hands and feet tied with strings. The secret guards were very good at arresting and interrogating people, and they always carried the strings with them.

Li Xianyun looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground. As she expected, these people were all wearing soft boots. Their underestimate of the enemy and high self-esteem finally exposed them.
