My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 130: The Lu family's advantage lies in having a large number of people.

Mingyuan kept glancing at Shunyu, wanting to find an opportunity to speak with her. They would arrive in Ji County tomorrow, and she needed to prepare tonight. However, the Lu family was suspicious and wouldn't let her get close to the princess. It seemed she could only wait until nightfall to find an opportunity.

The Lu family kept a close eye on Ming Yuan. They dared not slack off in the slightest when it came to this little girl who had just lost her mother a few days ago.

At this time, in the capital, He Zhen personally led his men to deliver the goods to Boss Han, a wealthy merchant from out of town. Boss Han was about to leave the capital with his caravan that same day.

"Mr. He, I heard that your home was burgled the other day. I wonder how it went? I have some connections here. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to tell me."

In the past few days, rumors have been spreading throughout the capital, most of them about He Zhen, the fireworks shop owner. They say that she was divorced by her husband's family because she couldn't have a son, and that she couldn't stand being alone and had a one-night stand with the two brothers from the north side of the street, only to turn around and send them to the authorities.

The two brothers were given twenty strokes of the cane and are now lying at home.

Compared to He Zhen's tarnished reputation, the twenty strokes of the cane given to the two brothers were indeed lenient.

He Zhen herself knew that if her husband were at home, no one would dare to climb over the wall. If her father-in-law were still alive, the two who climbed over the wall would not have been punished with just twenty strokes of the cane.

They were taking advantage of her, a woman with a daughter, who had no power or influence.

Boss Han brought it up because he wanted to build a good relationship with He Zhen. After all, fireworks were indeed a good thing, and the woman in front of him was a shrewd businesswoman. Given time, she would surely surpass other businesses in the capital. What he saw was endless wealth and fame.

He Zhen laughed and said, "They are just two insignificant thieves, it's no big deal. If you need anything, I will not hesitate to ask Boss Han for help."

Boss Han nodded, bid farewell to He Zhen, turned and got into the carriage, but suddenly remembered something, lifted the curtain and called out to He Zhen, "Boss He!"

He Zhen was about to leave with his men when he was called out to, so he stopped and turned to look at him.

Mr. Han said loudly, "You are the first woman I have ever met who does business. You are just as good as any man. I admire you and therefore wish to be your friend."

Although he had initially considered proposing to her because of his admiration for her, she was already divorced and he was still unmarried. With He Zhen's abilities and his family's business, he was sure he could make the fireworks business famous throughout the world.

However, after getting to know He Zhen during his time in the capital, he gave up the idea of ​​marrying her. Such a woman would be disgraced if she were to be given the title of marriage.

When he spoke, he was respectful and gentlemanly, without the slightest hint of disdain. He truly regarded He Zhen as a friend he wanted to make.

He Zhen was slightly taken aback, but breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't stupid; she had already figured out what this Boss Han was thinking. Perhaps he was after the fireworks. She admired his talent, but had no interest in him.

Now, it's clear that the other party has lost their original intentions. There's nothing wrong with making ordinary acquaintances, and business can continue in the future.

She called out to Mr. Han in the carriage, "Mr. Han, next time you come to the capital to discuss business, my Jixiang Ruyi Shop will definitely prepare fine wine and food."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Boss Han lowered the curtain.

Back at the shop, He Zhen ordered his men to bring out all the account books and carefully checked the accounts. This big deal that Boss Han made was more profitable than all his previous profits.

Overjoyed, she thought that she could be more selective in preparing the items for the gods this time, but she didn't know what the gods liked. Judging from the voice, it was a young woman. Perhaps she would like exquisite jewelry?

That night, Mingyuan quietly got up and left the tent after most people had gone to bed, and carefully walked toward where Shunyu was resting.

The guards seemed oblivious, still baking the pancakes they hadn't eaten during the day.

At this moment, Shunyu was not resting. Hearing the commotion outside, she immediately got up and glanced at the people beside her. Seeing that they were all asleep, she tiptoed out of the tent. Mingyuan was guarding outside. When she saw Shunyu, she whispered, "Your Highness, we will pass through Ji County tomorrow. Tonight, I will help you with your makeup. If you disguise yourself as me, it will be easier to escape tomorrow."

Just as she was about to tell Mingyuan that she wouldn't be leaving yet, Shunyu was surprised to hear her words. "Although our figures are similar, our appearances are not alike. How can I impersonate you?"

Ming Yuan pulled out two cloth bags from her bosom, inside which were two human skin masks. "Your Highness, rest assured, I know some disguise techniques. Ordinary people won't be able to tell the difference."

This is precisely why the Left Envoy sent himself.

Shunyu was amazed. As expected of the Golden Scale Guard, even a child who looked to be less than ten years old knew the art of disguise.

Ming Yuan: "Your Highness, please allow me to do your hair and makeup."

Shunyu raised her hand to block him, her expression unchanged. "Mingyuan, I've thought it over. I still need to discuss this with Elder Lu tomorrow morning. The Lu family has helped me a lot, and I also have two mentors. I can't abandon them and run away."

She was supposed to say it tonight, but she hadn't figured out how to start and was feeling a bit confused.

Ming Yuan immediately became anxious, "Your Highness!"

Just then, several people emerged from the shadows and surrounded the two of them. One of them even dragged Shunyu away from Mingyuan!

Before the two could react, Lu Xingyao, who had emerged from the shadows, coldly ordered, "Take him down!"

Immediately, the group rushed towards Ming Yuan, intending to grab her. Ming Yuan swiftly dodged two of them, but was forced to face the other two. Her moves were exceptionally sharp and her attacks were fierce.

Lu Xingyao's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that he had really been deceived back then. This little girl was indeed not simple.

Shunyu was startled by the sudden reaction and hurriedly whispered to Lu Xingyao, "Young Master Lu, please stop them from hitting us!"

Lu Xingyao reassured him, "Your Highness, do not be afraid. This person has ulterior motives. With us here, we will not let her harm a single hair on your head."

Shunyu hurriedly explained, "No! She wouldn't hurt me."

However, before she could finish speaking, Ming Yuan had already been restrained and tied up. After all, she was just a young girl who usually learned some ambushes and instant kill techniques. With the enemy on guard, she was no match for several big men. Moreover, since the princess was on good terms with the Lu family, she couldn't really kill the Lu family members.

Nevertheless, at this moment, she stared at the men in front of her with eyes full of resentment.

Mingyuan was bound hand and gagged and brought before Shunyu.

The men behind felt a little embarrassed, after all, the other party was just a young girl, and it was not very honorable for several grown men to defeat one.

Lu Xingyao didn't feel there was anything dishonorable about it; having more people was an advantage for his Lu family.

Shunyu was both amused and exasperated. "Young Master Lu, you've really misunderstood. This man is my subordinate; he's trying to rescue me."

Lu Xingyao didn't believe it and shouted at Ming Yuan, "You little liar! It's one thing to deceive my Lu family, but you even dare to fool the princess!"

Shunyu: "."
