Luo Wen's clansmen were armed with long sticks, while the Third Prince and his entourage were all carrying large swords, and the two sides faced each other.

Soon, Prefect Xu arrived in a hurry with his yamen runners who were armed with swords. He was an upright man and naturally stood on Gu Ji's side.

"Third Prince, Gu's Restaurant abides by the law. Even if it has committed a crime, it will be punished by the laws of our Great Qi. It has nothing to do with the people of Nan Yue. Don't think that our Great Qi is without people."

Prefect Xu's short, stout body stood at the very front, like a wall—short, yet very sturdy.

He came from a poor background, which made him more able to stay true to his original aspirations and serve the people wholeheartedly after becoming an official.

While others become officials to make money, Prefect Xu gave away all his wealth to help the people, making him a rare good official in the Great Qi Dynasty.

The Third Prince was surprised to find that this minor prefect of Pengcheng spoke with far more backbone than the Emperor of Qi.

Unfortunately, even the most principled prefect still had to listen to the Emperor of Qi.

According to information obtained by spies from Nanyue, the Emperor of Daqi not only intends to compensate Nanyue with a large black stone mine, but also plans to send Nanyue 300 carts of grain.

Although his seventh brother killed many people in the capital of Qi, the emperor of Qi still treated Nanyue as his own father and was filial to him.

Therefore, the Third Prince believed that even if he killed the Prefect of Pengcheng, the Emperor of Daqi would not do anything to him.

The two sides clashed, and a major battle was imminent.

The third prince was about to order the executions without exception when the old wizard stopped him.

"Third Prince, please don't waste your time on trivial matters. We urgently need ice. We can't buy ice in Pengcheng, so we need to hurry to the next city to purchase a large amount of ice to preserve the Seventh Prince's body."

Moreover, the old sorceress didn't want to waste her magic on others; she had received orders from the old emperor of Nan Yue to eliminate Su Qianqian.

"Your Highness, please depart as soon as possible."

Although the old witch was an old woman, her voice was particularly strange, not only sounding like it came from underground, but also neither male nor female.

The third prince stamped his foot, having no other choice but to leave with the old wizard.

As the man left, Prefect Xu wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

I've heard that the old shaman of Nanyue possesses immense magical power, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas.

Fortunately, Miss Su sent a message by carrier pigeon in advance, asking him to dispose of all the ice in Pengcheng, which saved Pengcheng from disaster. Otherwise, the old wizard might have massacred Gu's restaurant.

Actually, when Su Qianqian was in Qinghe County, she helped a wandering swordsman who had the ability to scale walls and leap across rooftops. Later, she sent that person to Nanyue as a spy.

The news that the Southern Yue National Preceptor was coming to the Great Qi with a coffin was brought by that wandering knight. After receiving the news, Su Qianqian immediately sent a message to Prefect Xu by carrier pigeon, asking him to clear the ice from the city, which saved Peng Cheng from disaster.

Gu Ji was saved. Luo was sweating profusely. Just as he was about to go into the shop to rest, he saw that the people on the street were all in an uproar.

"Look, there are immortals in the sky."

"A deity riding a giant bird."

Luo Wen had been to the capital and had even seen the golden eagle in person, so he knew without a doubt that the one riding the golden eagle in the sky was Miss Su.

I never imagined that golden eagle could fly so far.

He felt incredibly honored to hear the people call Miss Su a fairy.

Luo Wen explained to the people, "That's not a fairy, that's the most outstanding girl in our Luo clan."

The people all congratulated the Luo clan.

"With such a talented young man in your Luo family, you will definitely be able to join the ranks of the five great families in the future."

"Incredible! The Luo family has such outstanding descendants. It would be difficult for them not to prosper."

Upon hearing this, the Luo clan members all raised their chins, feeling extremely proud.

It feels like even when the Luo family produced a high-ranking official of the third rank, they weren't as prestigious as they are now.

If the Luo family had already pledged allegiance to Miss Su when she was stationed in Qinghe County, perhaps many members of their clan would now be granted official positions, just like the Zhang family.

If Miss Su regains military power someday, the Luo clan will have to follow her into battle and will surely achieve many military exploits.

Hearing that Luo Wen had stood in front of Gu Ji's employee and was stabbed in the arm by the Third Prince, someone gave Luo Wen a peach.

Luo Wen caught the peach with both hands, extremely excited.

See? Miss Su is indeed loyal and righteous. Choosing to stand on Miss Su's side was truly wise.

These peaches sell for 10,000 taels each in the capital, and they're not sold to just anyone; they're only sold to a select few.

The elders of the Luo clan all gathered around Luo Wen, watching him eat peaches, and they all swallowed their saliva with envy.

Because the air is filled with the sweet scent of peaches.

"So this is the legendary peach that costs ten thousand taels each. It is indeed very big, at least four or five times the size of a regular peach."

"Chief, how does it taste?"

While eating the peach, Luo Wen didn't forget to flatter his clansmen: "Miss Su mainly gave me this peach because she was grateful that I risked my life to protect Gu Ji. If you also want to eat peaches, remember to make a good impression on Miss Su next time you have the chance."

The tribesmen secretly decided that next time they must risk their lives to earn peaches.

After feeding the golden eagle, Su Qianqian surveyed the front and back yards of Gu's restaurant.

Luo Wen accompanied him throughout the entire process, showing exceptional respect, just as if he were accompanying a leader on an inspection tour.

Su Qianqian suddenly turned her head, startling Luo Wen, who thought she hadn't done something right. But then he heard Su Qianqian say, "Clan leader, my brother left in a hurry and didn't explain many things clearly. Call the person in charge of managing the shops over here, and I'll come and hand over the reins to him."

Luo Wen wiped away a cold sweat. "Yes, Miss Su, I'll go and call someone right away."

In the main hall of Gu's Restaurant, Su Qianqian briefly explained some things to the Luo family members, outlining the basic operating mechanism of the restaurant.

"The future of Gu's in Pengcheng rests on your shoulders."

"Please rest assured, Miss Su, we will never let you down. When Miss Su needs us, the Luo family will do everything in its power to help you achieve your great goals."

The Luo clan members watched Su Qianqian ride away on her eagle, their faces beaming with fighting spirit, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"With a remarkable person like Miss Su in our Luo family, the future is sure to be bright."

"How fortunate our Luo clan is to have such an outstanding descendant."

"May our ancestors bless Miss Su with a long and healthy life, and lead the Luo family to glory."

Clan Chief Luo Wen's confidence soared, and he felt that the five great families were nothing to worry about.

Their Luo family possesses Miss Su, who can fly—a unique talent in the entire world. Even the most outstanding descendants of other noble families combined cannot match half of Miss Su's abilities.

Luo Wen instructed his clansmen, "Miss Su has arranged a good place for our Luo clan. The prefect of Pengcheng is an upright man and will never forcibly seize our family's property. You can rest assured to bring your family members from Sicheng here."

"The people of Pengcheng live in peace and prosperity. We can do business here, recuperate and thrive, and be ready to lend our entire clan the strength to help Miss Su when she calls upon us."
