The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The next day, Lu Shuang came down the mountain at roughly the same time, and she found that her bad luck and good luck were alternating.

I caught a good roe deer, although I didn't get a good price for it.

Today, however, we caught two more deer.

It was as if heaven had taken pity on them.

So, one person carried the two roe deer on her back, intending to sell them in Guanxiang Town. With these two roe deer, plus the money from selling the roe deer yesterday, she would have enough to live on.

Buy some everyday necessities and leave some travel expenses.

That's enough for her to hide until the war ends.

With something to look forward to, they walked even faster and soon arrived in town. There, a servant suddenly rushed up to them, his eyes shining brightly.

"Wow, it's a roe deer! Great! This roe deer is wonderful! Miss, will you sell it to me? I'm willing to pay one hundred taels!"

Before the servant could finish speaking, several other servants who had heard the commotion rushed over and began shouting.

"This roe deer is exceptional. Look at its fur, its beak, its legs. It deserves a high price. I'll offer two hundred taels of silver."

"I, Wen Lao Er, offer five hundred taels of silver, young lady. You must sell me the roe deer. If you don't sell it to me today, I'll kneel here and never get up."

"I, Zhang Bo, offer one thousand taels!"

"Wang Tao, five thousand taels!"

"Liu Ji, ten thousand taels!"

……

Lu Shuang was completely stunned.

At this moment, I even wondered if she hadn't killed a deer, but some kind of real dragon!

Roe deer, which cost only two hundred coins yesterday, is now selling for ten thousand taels?!

That's ten thousand taels!

She never imagined she would see so much money in her life!

"Are these people crazy?"

Just then, Young Master Xiao reappeared leisurely. Today, Young Master Xiao looked even more like an oil seller than yesterday, carrying two loads filled with sesame oil.

"What a coincidence, Miss Lu, we meet again."

Young Master Xiao's voice rang out, but Lu Shuang immediately noticed something was wrong. The two buckets of sesame oil were not heavy for someone who carried heavy loads all year round, but Young Master Xiao's body was already bent over like a shrimp.

His face was covered in sweat, and when he greeted her, he threw the two buckets of sesame oil on the ground with a "plop".

—That oil seller, how could he treat his sesame oil like that?

This made Lu Shuang feel incredibly flustered.

She felt that this place was sick.

These servants in front of me are sick.

This young master Xiao is insane!

This Yunjingcheng is sick!

Her family also has illnesses!

This further solidified Lu Shuang's resolve to escape. Otherwise, if she stayed in such a place for too long, she would eventually fall ill under the wear and tear of time and the pressure of the environment!

A mental illness!

"What a coincidence." So, Lu Shuang agreed without saying a word.

Young Master Xiao immediately boasted, "Oh dear, after you left yesterday, I went to argue with that boss, and finally, with my silver tongue, he agreed to pay a high price for the deer you hunted."

"Others were moved when they heard how generous the boss was, so they all came to you to buy roe deer. This is all out of their goodwill."

Lu Shuang became even more certain.

It was this Young Master Xiao who did it, it was him!

So, remaining even more composed, he said, "That would be wonderful, but the price is too high for me. How about this, I'll pay the market price?"

"One from yesterday, plus two from today."

"Three taels of silver will do."

The servants were so eager to pay that Lu Shuang paid, dropped the two deer, turned and ran to exchange them for grain, and then rushed back up the mountain.

She vowed that she would never come down the mountain again until the war was over.

No one should try to find her, and these messy things shouldn't bother her either.

However, Xiao Che was unaware of her thoughts, and he was content with the comfort of seeking true love as a commoner, until his guard Yu Chenglong brought him a message.

"What?"

"So Miss Lu Shuang has suffered so much? After I marry her, I will definitely dote on her exclusively."

"Yu Chenglong, you immediately take your men and follow me to Wusheng Pass."

"I will show the commander of Wusheng Pass what will happen if he dares to touch my woman!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Che immediately led his men in a grand procession toward Wusheng Pass.

It was soon time.

His arrival was quite coincidental.

Chen Xiong, the garrison commander of Wusheng Pass, is setting up checkpoints.

This Chen Xiong truly lives up to his reputation as someone deeply trusted by Yun Jing. Regardless of his personal character, his abilities are undoubtedly considerable. Under his arrangement, Wusheng Pass, which was originally a formidable pass, is now even more impregnable.

"We must complete the construction of the control points and artillery positions today. Ren Tianye's army is coming soon, and only with these can we stop them!"

"besides……"

"The outposts and logs and boulders on both ridges must also be in place today."

"The scouts reported that Ren Tianye's army is less than three days away. We don't have time."

……

Chen Xiong's eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well for many days. However, with all the arrangements completed today, this formidable pass would definitely make it impossible for Ren Tianye to move an inch, so his face was still full of excitement.

Suddenly, a commotion arose. Just as he was about to inquire, a soldier came to report: "General, there is a troop of men below the pass who specifically request to see you."

"See me? Who are you?" Chen Xiong asked, looking down at the group of people, all dressed in uniform and carrying knives, who appeared to be of considerable background.

He also became curious and immediately took people to see it.

Xiao Che's voice immediately rang out.

"You're Chen Xiong?"

"It's me. Who are you?"

"Ha, so it's you, actually deluding yourself into thinking you could marry eighteen women?"

Chen Xiong frowned immediately and said, "This is the national policy of Yunjing. I am here to do it. How can you presume to do so?"

"Besides, I've fought my whole life, can't I enjoy myself a little?"

"But..." Xiao Che's voice grew colder: "One of them is a woman I've taken a liking to."

Chen Xiong immediately understood the visitor's purpose, but he was quite unconcerned. He had deep roots in the capital and was doing things that were in line with the national policy of Yun Jing. What could this person do to him?

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the person in front of him shout.

"Yu Chenglong!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Yu Chenglong jumped out and immediately waved his hand.

The subordinates understood that the python robe was about to be put on, so they immediately took out the python robe, with two soldiers supporting it and one holding up the seven-tassel crown, shielding Xiao Che behind them as if Xiao Che were wearing the armor.

At this moment, Xiao Che's expression was solemn and cold, his aura was fully unleashed, and he was extremely majestic.

"Chen Xiong, how dare you harbor such wicked intentions towards my woman! Guards!"

"Cut him down!"

"Exterminate his entire family!"
