PDLP Chapter 118 Allegiance
Chapter 118 Allegiance
Liu Ru smiled coquettishly, but everyone felt frightened.
Previously, they thought that this girl was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and was still thinking about achieving great things like men. Isn’t that ridiculous?
But now that Liu Rumei had taken action twice, everyone was immediately convinced.
This girl is not only extremely strong, but also skilled in riding and shooting. If she were a man, she would surely achieve great success on the battlefield.
But she is a woman, and obviously has no achievements, but she should not be underestimated.
They really wanted to know why this girl took them in and trained them?
This question made everyone curious. They wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask.
Eat the emperor's food and share his worries.
After they took other people's money, they felt inferior and did not dare to act presumptuously.
But no one expected that Liu Rumei would end up standing at the place where the fist and kick competition was held.
This time even Master Dong was frightened, but when he thought of Liu Rumei's last attack, he immediately became silent.
Apart from anything else, the girl still has this ability.
Well, this is a good opportunity for the girl to establish her authority! And let these guys see what it means to be outsiders and outsiders!
"Let the older girls give it a try, and let them open their eyes and see how strong women are."
When Master Dong said this, Zhenzhu looked at him and thought that this man was an intelligent person.
Liu Rumei was standing on the competition field, with a young man standing opposite her.
The young man is not handsome, but his muscles are very strong and he looks like a martial artist.
"No, Miss, it's not appropriate for me to compete with you!"
The young guy is scared, so let him fight with a girl?
Not to mention, these are the people who provide them with food and clothing!
"Don't be afraid. We won't fight with fists or feet. I'll use a whip. You can choose a weapon of your own."
The young man was still very nervous, but unexpectedly, Master Dong agreed.
He looked at Liu Rumei and shouted, "Miss, please show mercy!"
These words made everyone present change their expressions. Did Master Dong mean that the third son should give way to the eldest girl?
The young man's nickname is Xiao Sanzi. He is the third son in the family. He is talented and is considered one of Master Dong's disciples.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Haha, you have to try your best not to get hurt!"
These words made Xiao Sanzi very cautious, but he didn't dare to choose the long sword, so he could only choose the long stick.
Liu Rumei smiled, exerted force on her feet, and shot out like an arrow, which surprised everyone.
What a great speed!
The young lady is not only powerful but also very fast. Is this... a martial arts genius?
The moment the two sides fought, Xiao Sanzi felt his arm shake, and Liu Rumei used the soft whip to act like a stick.
The long stick in Xiao Sanzi's hand was directly swept away by the whip. He was slightly stunned, and then he intuitively felt Liu Rumei's power.
But now he had no weapon in his hand, and the long whip in the girl's hand was flying like a snake. After his arms and legs were whipped twice, he quickly knelt down.
This, why does this hurt so much?
Liu Rumei had shown mercy when she attacked, otherwise even if his arm was not broken, it would have been torn into pieces.
As the fight progressed, Liu Rumei became more and more interested in fighting, and finally she just dropped the whip.
Everyone:...
Liu Rumei punched down, and Xiao Sanzi quickly blocked it with his arm. There was a cracking sound, and Xiao Sanzi lay down holding his arm.
"Have mercy, my arm is broken!"
Liu Rumei: ...
Well, she didn't use her full strength!
"This shouldn't be the case, right?"
Master Dong hurried over to take a look, then let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, it didn’t break. It didn’t break.
"It's okay, I can move freely, just rest for a few days."
After Master Dong finished speaking, he looked up at everyone and asked softly, "Did you see it clearly?"
"See it clearly!"
"Yeah, the elder girl is really amazing!"
Everyone was convinced. It was obvious that in a one-on-one fight, they were no match for the other person.
They were now curious about one thing: how was this girl raised? How did she have such strong martial arts skills?
"Now that you are convinced, come and meet the eldest lady!"
Everyone gathered together and saluted Liu Rumei.
"I have met the young lady!"
"polite."
Liu Rumei said politely, and everyone felt relieved.
Before, they didn't have much respect for older girls, but that's no longer the case.
They were completely convinced and were willing to be subordinates.
"Since you are following me, I will not treat you unfairly. If you need anything, you can tell Master Dong.
Besides, I asked Master Dong to train you not to make you farmers or guards, but to form a strong army."
When Liu Rumei said this, everyone's heart was lifted again.
She actually wanted to train an army!
Is this girl going to rebel?
"Are you scared?"
Liu Rumei asked back softly, but no one answered.
They were not afraid, but they wanted to know what the girl was going to do.
Liu Rumei looked at everyone, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have no intention of rebellion, and naturally I have no chance to achieve success.
But I also hope that the world will be peaceful, and I also hope that my family will be safe. I just hope that I can be safe in prosperous times, and be able to protect myself in troubled times, and even save more people. "
Peace in prosperous times? Self-preservation in troubled times?
They were people who had been to the battlefield, so they naturally understood how likely this prosperity was.
"We are willing to protect the girl with our lives! Protect this world!"
"We are willing to protect the girl with our lives! Protect this world!"
Everyone half-knelt on the ground and shouted to Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at Master Dong, who was also very excited at this moment.
Good, the army’s morale is stabilized!
Master Dong was so excited, he really had the confidence that he could train an army!
Liu Rumei's performance in the martial arts arena made everyone deeply understand that no one should be looked down upon.
Liu Rumei spent the rest of her time strolling around the village, not only to see how the plants were growing, but also to see how the people in the village were doing.
It turns out that the people in the village are living a good life.
These people moved here from surrounding villages. Their previous homes are still there, but because they are now farming here, they also built houses here.
Liu Rumei is a generous person. She paid for all the materials needed to build the house. As long as you are willing to live here, you can build your own house for free.
So the new houses are big and nice, and some people even don’t return to their original homes, but live a stable life here.
Now that the village is becoming more and more prosperous and more and more people are moving here, Liu Rumei is still very satisfied.
"Girl, there are more and more people in this village, so should we allocate more money?"
Zhenzhu asked this and Liu Rumei nodded.
"Don't save money. Let them feel stable and have a good life. Only then will they want to settle down here."
"Miss, you are right. Besides that, do you have any plans for that mountain?"
Pearl looked at the forest. In addition to the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted on the forest, some areas had been flattened.
The flattened area, at the foot of the mountain, is now being used to build houses.
"I want to build a few factories. After all, we have so many stores. We can't leave them all idle."
When Liu Rumei said this, Zhenzhu was stunned.
Aren't they selling ointment now?
"Miss, besides selling ointments, do you want to do other business? But Miss, you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Is it really okay for you to do business like this?"
Zhenzhu is not worried about anything else but Liu Rumei's reputation.
If a lady from a wealthy family does business, it will be bad for her reputation if others know about it.
Although the mistress of the house is in charge of the household accounts, she will never do business in public.
Because of this, the girl might be harming her reputation by doing this.
"As for business, it depends on what you are buying and selling. Look at my Xianzi Pavilion, it will soon become the favorite place of the rich and powerful.
If they need something from me, I don’t need to care about my reputation, and they will even protect my reputation.”
After Liu Rumei said this, Zhenzhu seemed to understand that asking for help from others is naturally different.
"Girl, I understand now."
As for what the place at the foot of the mountain is used for, Liu Rumei does have a plan, but before that, she has to find some powerful masters.
"Pearl, are there any strange people under the command of the King of Xian?"
Zhenzhu was a little surprised. She never expected that Liu Rumei would ask this question.
In fact, in order to consolidate their power, each family would inevitably recruit people from all sides. King Xian naturally had various skilled craftsmen under his command.
For example, Dr. Sun and Dr. Gu are the ones that King Xian trusts the most.
In addition, there are also skilled painters and various skilled craftsmen.
If someone else asked, she would naturally not tell it, but since the girl asked, then she should tell the girl, because this is also the prince's intention.
"Miss, the prince has thirty-six skilled craftsmen under his command."
Zhenzhu said this and Liu Rumei smiled.
"That's fine. Who's in charge of the mansion when the prince goes out this time?"
Zhenzhu knew that Liu Rumei had the royal palace token in her hand. After all, this token represented the prince. Even if the future princess saw this token, she could not stop it.
"Mr. Li is the head of the family. Mr. Li has been following the prince for ten years. In addition, there is another person, Aunt Cui, who has taken care of the prince since he was a child."
The reason why Zhenzhu singled out Nanny Cui was because this Nanny was very important to the prince, and she was afraid that Liu Rumei would offend someone she shouldn't.
Liu Rumei thought about it and made a decision.
What she wanted to do would definitely require the cooperation of skilled craftsmen, so she had to meet both Mr. Li and Madam Cui.
At the same time, in Zhongzhou City, Tang Mingchen looked at Liu Rumei's reply with a smile on his face.
Doctor Sun only took one look at him and knew that this guy was in a good mood.
This is really rare, as he has been having a gloomy face all this time.
Zhongzhou is so dry now that it is rare that there is no chaos. If the prince had not intervened early and shocked everyone with thundering means, the city and the outside of the city would have been in a mess.
The prince has been extremely busy these past two days. He hasn't even had a good meal and his brows are furrowed.
Now this letter and the things it brought made the prince happy. He will probably have a good dinner tonight.
Just as Doctor Sun was thinking this, he heard a commotion outside.
"whats the matter!"
When Doctor Sun asked this, Tang Mingchen didn't raise his eyes, and An Yi was also very calm.
"There's an assassin outside."
"Assassins! Who sent them? Is there anyone in Zhongzhou City who dares to touch the prince?"
Doctor Sun was not sure. He always felt that this was not a force within the city, but perhaps the prince from Kyoto.
"We didn't bring many people with us, and we've offended so many people."
Doctor Sun was very worried. If they were to be attacked from both sides, it would be very dangerous.
"They are nothing to be feared."
Doctor Sun couldn't help but roll his eyes. This man was really calm, but he knew Tang Mingchen.
This guy doesn't care about life and death. In his eyes, there is nothing to be afraid of. For a man who is not afraid of death, what do you expect him to be afraid of?
But now that Liu Rumei is here, can this guy still be so indifferent?
"Don't get hurt, or if that girl finds out, she'll be very sad."
Doctor Sun suddenly said this. Tang Mingchen was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Will she be worried that I will get hurt?"
"Who is she? I'm very curious."
Doctor Sun smiled in a somewhat frivolous way, causing Tang Mingchen to look at him coldly.
At that moment just now, there was only one person in his mind, and that was Liu Rumei.
If he was really injured, would Liu Rumei worry about herself?
She would be worried, right? After all, if I was injured, I would definitely not be able to help her. Then if she encountered any problems, who would help her solve them?
Tang Mingchen himself did not realize that he had firmly positioned himself as a tool man.
He is a tool who will unconditionally support Liu Rumei whenever she needs him.
Oh, when I think about it this way, I am still very important.
"Your Majesty, the people outside have been dealt with."
Tang Mingchen nodded. He knew that these assassins outside were no match for An Yi and his men.
"Is anyone hurt?"
Tang Mingchen's question surprised An Yi, because the prince never asked these questions. Why did he ask it suddenly?
"Only two of them were slightly injured, it's nothing serious."
Tang Mingchen nodded and did not ask any further questions. He just felt that he should understand the situation of his subordinates.
"Your Highness, someone from downstairs reported that we found water in the well we dug."
An Yi almost forgot to say the important thing. This is the most important thing. This is the hope of survival.
"I gonna go see!"
Although it was already late at night, Tang Mingchen stood up as soon as possible. He had to go and check out the condition of the well.
"Hey, put on your cloak. You have to take care of yourself when you're riding in the middle of the night. You're not alone now."
Tang Mingchen glared at Doctor Sun, but quickly put on his cloak.
If what he said makes sense, then we should listen to it.
When we arrived in the town, we found that there was indeed water in the well, and a lot of it.
The local villagers were very happy because they finally saw hope of life.
In fact, everyone knew very well that if it didn't rain, the only option waiting for them was to flee from the famine.
Fortunately, they had found well water before this, and it seemed that the imperial court had also dispatched grain, so they had hope of survival.
But the situation here is considered good. It is said that the city further north is in chaos now.
The prince is right in their opinion, because if he goes to their side, his life will probably be in danger.
Although everyone is not well-informed, they all know that the city in the north is in chaos. Doesn’t Tang Mingchen know this?
Tang Mingchen looked at the well water with a smile on his face.
Sure enough, what she said was right, this deep well really works.
"Since there's no problem here, Dr. Sun, you can take care of it. I have to continue heading north."
