Chapter 234 Scimitar



"With your words, Chief Steward Liu, I feel much more relieved!"

"In that case, I will leave everything to Chief Steward Liu. Chief Steward Liu, you can rest assured and help me with my work. I will not treat you unfairly."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Liu Dehai nodded immediately, and then left the palace with the carriage.

After Liu Dehai left, Qian Ruoyu felt much more relieved.

As long as all the rouge and powder in this trip were sold, there would be at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in revenue. Qian Ruoyu naturally would not worry that Liu Dehai would make any mistakes.

Liu Dehai is the steward of the imperial palace and has lived in the palace for more than ten years. He knows the rules and regulations of the palace very well. Qian Ruoyu is not worried that any accidents will happen to him in the palace.

If even Liu Dehai could encounter an accident, then Qian Ruoyu is even more likely to suffer an accident. That is why Qian Ruoyu is so confident in Liu Dehai and entrusts this matter to Liu Dehai to complete.

And in this way, the relationship between Qian Ruoyu and Liu Dehai will be even better.

Thinking of this incident, Qian Ruoyu felt a little more joyful. Then Qian Ruoyu brought everyone back to Yueya Pavilion.

In her mind, not only could she make money in the palace, but she could also become an informant in the palace.

Qian Ruoyu would no longer have to rely on Chu Mobai to live, and even if she broke up with him that day, she would not starve to death.

After returning to Yueya Pavilion, Qian Ruoyu remembered one thing, which was what the fat proprietress had mentioned before, about the strange caravan that appeared near the capital.

It is not surprising that these groups of merchants appear near the capital, but if they never enter the capital and only stay on the outskirts of the capital, doesn’t that mean there is something strange?

It is precisely for this reason that Qian Ruoyu feels that this matter is not that simple.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu asked directly to the Golden Lotus beside him.

"By the way, Lotus, do you know who is hunting you? Is it really just your enemy? Is there no other reason?"

When Lianhua suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu say this, she thought about it for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Lianhua immediately asked with some confusion.

"Your Highness, what you said is true... If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have remembered much about the incident where I was being hunted down. At first I said it was an enemy because I thought it might be an enemy..."

"But after what you said, it seems that those who are chasing me are not my enemies, because at the beginning I just saw a group of businessmen."

After hearing these words suddenly, Qian Ruoyu's attention was immediately attracted. Isn't this a caravan?

The caravan was one of the reasons why Qian Ruoyu was troubled.

Golden Lotus continued.

"I was originally planning to go to the capital. After all, the capital is an important place in the capital. So I thought there might be a chance to get protection here, so I rushed here. As a result, I encountered a caravan fighting with bandits on the way."

"It can be seen that the strength of this caravan is extraordinary. The bandits originally came to rob things, but after pushing one of the carriages, they found that there was nothing on the carriage, and all the cabinets inside were empty."

"That caravan was furious, and several people took out various weapons. I have never seen those weapons in the Central Plains. They are not ordinary swords or guns at all."

Jin Lianhua's words made Qian Ruoyu pay even more attention. After all, she had never heard of Jin Lianhua before, and the fat proprietress had never mentioned this matter either.

This made Qian Ruoyu feel that this matter was indeed not simple, and there might be a lot of conspiracy hidden in it.

"Oh, now I remember that the weapon used by the people in the caravan was a scimitar. Almost no one in the Central Plains uses that kind of scimitar, and no sect would deliberately use it. It has only been seen in the Western Regions."

"What's even more coincidental is that it's not just one or two people who are using scimitars, but the entire group of people are using scimitars. Their skills in using scimitars are not bad, and they can be said to be experts in all aspects. They don't look like ordinary people at all. Moreover, they seem to be very united, and two or three people can cooperate with each other when using scimitars."

After listening to what Jin Lianhua said, Qian Ruoyu only felt that a huge conspiracy was covering the entire capital city.

The weapons used by that strange caravan were scimitars that were only used in the Western Regions. Moreover, from the paintings drawn this year, we can tell that these people were not fighting alone, but were fighting in groups of three or four. Aren't they soldiers?

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu decided that it might be necessary to investigate the caravan that appeared outside Jincheng. However, before getting a definite answer, it would not be possible to alarm Chu Mobai.

Qian Ruoyu needs to consider how the golden lotus in front of him thinks.

After all, if Jin Lianhua didn't go with him but was afraid of those enemies, Qian Ruoyu would probably not be able to go by herself.

"Why did those Lotus people attack you? Was it just because you witnessed this incident?"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Lianhua immediately nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Princess, it was because I was passing by that I thought everything would be fine as long as the caravan won. But when the people in the caravan saw me, they rushed towards me like crazy."

"I was running for my life at the time and passed by the capital. I thought they were my enemies and they looked like they didn't want me to live, so I decided to fight them."

"At the beginning, I had the upper hand, but then they worked in groups of two or three, with three of them attacking me from both sides. With their cooperation, I kept getting beaten, and eventually I got multiple knife wounds."

"Also, their scimitars are extremely strange. If I just use my sword to block them, there is no way I can completely block their scimitars. They can attack me at strange angles and cause me injuries."

"If it was just a one-on-one duel, I was confident that I could have dealt with them one by one. In the end, I had no choice but to run away because I thought it was better to be brave than to suffer a loss. Otherwise, I would have died there."

After listening to Jin Lianhua's words, Qian Ruoyu became more certain in his heart. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with this funeral procession. It was very likely that they came from the Western Regions.

But does this matter have anything to do with the fat boss lady?

If it really has something to do with the fat proprietress, then I would be setting fire to the mountain and inviting thieves into the house.

That's why Qian Ruoyu decided to go to Laoshu Street to find the fat proprietress first!
