Loxi did not disappoint him. He picked it up, took a bite, and carefully tasted it before pointing out its shortcomings one by one.
The jianbing vendor nodded repeatedly: "That's right, my son said it's a little different from what you make, sir. Thank you, thank you so much."
Seeing that Rose was so approachable, the others also asked her for advice.
A few days ago, Rose was having a headache from reading documents and wanted to find something else to do, so she patiently helped them answer their questions, occasionally even arguing with them.
For example, she loves spicy food, so she insists that the seasoning is too bland. Naturally, the boss disagrees and they start arguing.
Not far away, Yin Li, who wanted to ask Luo Xi for a favor, was both amused and exasperated.
“Forget it, let’s go back and figure something out ourselves. The head of the family… she’s done enough for us.” He said to Yue Zhengfeiyuan beside him.
"Alright!" Yue Zhengfei nodded, then turned to look at Luo Xi, who was laughing and joking, for a while before saying, "Let's go."
In the days that followed, Luo Xi would often go shopping and slurp up a bowl of noodles whenever she had free time. She became very friendly with the vendors. But one day, as soon as she arrived, the owner of the snail rice noodle stall mysteriously pulled her to the small courtyard where they lived in the back.
There were quite a lot of people there, including a young man selling jianbing (Chinese crepes), an old lady selling fried potatoes, and other stall owners.
Upon seeing Luo Xi, they were filled with righteous indignation: "Boss, boss, have bad guys come to our city?"
They were a little unaccustomed to being called that for the first time.
"Oh?" Rosie frowned and looked at them. "What do you mean?"
The snail rice noodle shop owner was both angry and annoyed: "His name is Zhou Zhi. He's a regular customer at my shop. It's all my fault for being careless and telling him a lot about our city."
He now considers Nanyue Prefecture as his home, so he always refers to the prefecture as "our prefecture."
“This is not your fault.” The young man selling jianbing guozi gritted his teeth: “That scoundrel also came to buy our things. After buying them, he used the excuse that he was not familiar with the city and did not know where to get his goods, and asked us to introduce him to the products.”
"Mmm!" The other vendors nodded in agreement.
"But a couple of days ago..." the old woman selling fried potatoes continued, "I accidentally discovered that many people in their caravan dressed up in different ways every day to go to the government office to buy medicine to treat the plague."
Because the weather was still hot, the plague was still quite serious in other parts of Tianqi. Jiu Xian said that even the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister in the capital had been infected.
"That's not all," the young man selling snail rice noodles added. "Later, after we took turns tracking them, we discovered that they also went to the village to buy wheat at high prices, saying they wanted to take it back to plant."
Use it to plant? Luo Xi knew that wheat grown from seeds soaked in spiritual spring water did indeed have a certain effect on drought and high temperature resistance. This Zhou Zhi seemed to know a lot about her stuff.
"You've done a good job. Do you know where those people are staying?"
The young man selling jianbing guozi immediately nodded: "Boss, I'll take you there."
Luo Xi told everyone else to go about their business, and only took the young man selling jianbing (Chinese crepes) with him as they hurried toward the military camp.
In the military camp, 100,000 soldiers stood in neat rows on the square, stretching as far as the eye could see. They were all dressed in black armor, holding uniform spears, and their dark tan faces were covered in large beads of sweat under the sunlight.
But no one paid any attention; they all stood motionless like rocks, their eyes bright and clear, letting sweat drip down their faces.
"You look good," Rose whispered a compliment.
"Du Sanlang, what do you think?" she asked the young man selling jianbing guozi.
But when they turned around, they found that the young man was staring straight at the soldiers, his face pale.
Rosie patted him on the shoulder: "What? Scared?"
The young man was startled, and only then did he come to his senses. When he looked at Luo Xi again, his eyes showed even greater respect.
He just never dared to talk to Luo Xi casually again.
Rosie didn't care and continued walking towards the front.
There, Lezheng Feiyuan was standing on a high platform, giving instructions to the soldiers below.
He was dressed in silver armor, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a calm expression as he spoke slowly and deliberately.
As soon as Luo Xi appeared, Yue Zheng Fei Yuan saw her, but he didn't pay any attention to her.
Since this wasn't Luo Xi's first visit, she had previously instructed that upon seeing her, there was no need to come over and bow; one should simply go about one's business.
But this time, Luo Xi waved in their direction. Le Zheng Fei Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly handed over the matter to Xia Zhong and ran over.
"Boss!" he bowed respectfully.
Without further ado, Loxi said, "Let's go, take a team and come catch the 'rats' with me."
mouse?
"Yes, Chief!" Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Le Zheng Feiyuan turned and ran toward the army beside him. In no time, he had selected five hundred strong and powerful soldiers to come before Luo Xi.
It perfectly embodies the phrase "swift and decisive".
Rosie nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go!"
On the way, Luo Xi explained the situation to Yue Zheng Feiyuan in detail.
"Zhou Zhi and his gang are probably connected to the imperial court," she guessed. "But I'm afraid..."
"You mean... Xiao Yi?" Le Zheng Feiyuan turned to look at Luo Xi, his face grave. "But he came from a bandit background and should hate the government the most. How could he be involved with them?"
It's more likely that he'll start his own independent faction.
"I'm just guessing." Luo Xi wasn't sure either. Xiao Yi had disappeared without a trace since he left, and even Jiu Xian couldn't find any trace of him.
"Let's go take a look first." She quickened her pace.
After a short while, Du Sanlang, who was leading the way, stopped.
"Boss, that's it." He pointed to a secluded courtyard at the end of the alley.
Luo Xi looked closely and saw that, apart from being a bit remote, it was no different from most courtyards in the city. However, it was indeed a good place to hide, a true example of "great seclusion in the city".
"Boss, let's rush in and beat them to a pulp!" Du Sanlang excitedly waved his fist.
“No rush.” Luo Xi smiled. “Le Zheng Feiyuan, surround the courtyard. People inside are only allowed to enter, not leave. Arrest anyone who comes out first, and deal with the others tonight.”
Du Sanlang's eyes lit up: "That's right, they all go out to buy things during the day and only come back at night, then we can take them all in one go."
Because there's a curfew at night, I can't not come back.
Over there, Yue Zhengfeiyuan had already made arrangements for the people.
Loxi looked around and then pointed to a relatively secluded rooftop with a good view: "Let's go up."
As she spoke, she picked up Du Sanlang with her left hand and was about to pick up Le Zhengfeiyuan with her right hand when she saw him quickly dodge to the side.
"Master, I am ready." Before he could finish speaking, he leaped onto the roof, his movements steady and swift, just like his personality.
"Impressive lightness skill!" Luo Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
But why does she seem to be fleeing in panic?
Luo Xi shook her head. It's just a little lift, it's not that serious, is it?
Without thinking further, she grabbed Du Sanlang by the back of his neck and flew onto the roof.
Le Zhengfeiyuan: "..."
