"What's going on? What exactly is going on? Does Qiao Lian'er have eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear you? He can see what you're doing and hear what you're saying." Prince Tuohai muttered to himself, his face drained of color.
He couldn't help but touch the Buddhist amulet that Mu Tai had found for him. At that time, they needed to take half a bowl of blood from his body and soak the amulet in it. He asked what the amulet was for, and Mu Tai only said that Qiao Lian'er was not an ordinary person, and this thing could protect him from her.
Could it be that she really possesses extraordinary abilities?
But it's impossible for her to know all his movements, right? Unless she's hiding by his side at all times, but he hasn't even seen her.
This time, the fake cavalry had just set out when the real cavalry arrived, and Qiao Lian'er also made an appearance.
So, where did these real cavalrymen come from? This place is hundreds of miles away from Qingfeng Plain.
The more Prince Takumi thought about it, the more horrified he became. As he watched the fake cavalrymen being killed one after another, his face turned as pale as paper.
Princess Hefeng and Princess Lingyu were both intelligent people, yet they both met their demise at the hands of Qiao Lian'er.
If Qiao Lian'er is truly an unfathomable and unmanageable person, then one day, will he also face a tragic end?
Prince Takumi shivered.
The fake cavalrymen were almost all killed, leaving only two survivors who were tied up. The Qingfeng Plain cavalrymen lashed them with their whips, demanding to know who had ordered them.
Qiao Dacheng stood coldly to the side.
"Confess honestly, and we'll leave you with a whole corpse; otherwise, we'll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs."
Boss Qiao led a large cavalry force to appease the frightened civilians and return the silver stolen by the fake cavalry to them.
Qiao Lian'er rode his horse to the center of the market.
"Fellow villagers, I am Princess Zhenguo, the lord of Jinglang Prefecture."
The civilians were either beaten by the fake cavalry or charged by the horses, and most of them were injured.
The cavalry that came ahead said they were ordered by the Princess Zhenguo to collect taxes from everyone and demand that they hand over their entire year's income.
These people are cruel, violent, and merciless.
Then another cavalry unit arrived, claiming that the previous unit was an imposter, and they slaughtered them. Now, the Princess Zhenguo has also made her appearance.
So the people were stunned, unsure of whom to believe.
Qiao Lian'er continued, "I brought the cavalry from my fiefdom to the north to collect population data so that it would be easier to distribute supplies such as cotton-padded clothes and charcoal."
"I never expected to run into such a situation. These people are using me as an excuse to plunder and ruin my reputation. I will not let this happen."
"It's also my fault for arriving late, which frightened everyone. I will take full responsibility for all the losses you suffered today, and I will pay for the medicine for your injuries. We will rest here for three days before reopening."
The border residents connected the events of a few days ago, with some saying that Princess Zhenguo was going to impose exorbitant taxes and levies. Soon after, news came that Princess Zhenguo's troops were distributing supplies in the south.
Now, fake cavalrymen are harassing them again, also under the banner of the Princess Zhenguo, but they are quickly suppressed by the real cavalry.
So it's not hard to imagine that Princess Zhenguo was coming to rule them, and some people couldn't tolerate her, so they secretly sabotaged them.
But some people still refused to believe it, their faces clearly showing doubt.
To increase everyone's trust, Qiao Lian'er ordered the cavalry to tally the losses at the stalls and then distribute double the compensation, with medical expenses to be calculated separately.
"This extra portion is to appease everyone's shock and give them a little more money in their hands."
