Chapter 108 Why is Su Luo so powerful?
"Sorry, my hands were itchy and I couldn't control myself." Su Luo stood gracefully with a slight smile.
Zhang Shangren wanted to curse loudly, but was stopped by the servant who was traveling with him: "Master, forget it, she is the Crown Prince's Consort after all."
"What a rubbish Crown Prince's Consort! She's the descendant of a traitor and a spy. I don't know how the Marquisate has the nerve to marry her!"
His friend also echoed: "What is a woman doing here showing her face in public? Are you here to seduce men?"
There are only men here, almost no female businesswomen, so there is a lot of dirty talk.
However--
The next moment, Zhou Yan, who had arrived from behind, grabbed the businessman named Zhang by the collar and punched him hard!
"Who are you saying seduces men? Who are you saying!" Zhou Yan shouted fiercely, "She's my wife, how can you slander her!"
After these punches, blood splattered out.
The businessman surnamed Zhang reacted and begged for mercy: "Oh, it was a misunderstanding, we didn't know that was your prince's consort."
Of course she knew, but she was just relying on the fact that her man wasn't here.
I didn't expect Zhou Yan to come.
At this time, someone whispered something to Zhijin, and Zhijin stepped forward and reported in a low voice.
Su Luo covered her lips and said to Zhou Yan: "Zhang Shan is the nephew of the Imperial Concubine, so the Crown Prince should be cautious."
Zhou Yan was obviously furious. He kicked twice more before venting his anger: "What's so serious about this?"
He pointed at the remaining few and cursed, "Whoever dares to speak rudely to my wife again, wait for it!"
Yun Ran rarely saw Zhou Yan stand up for Su Luo like this.
After Zhou Yan finished scolding her, he straightened his clothes and wanted to grab Su Luo's wrist, but she dodged him. Zhou Yan could only sigh and whispered to her, "Luo'er, come with me."
The two of them came to a tree, away from the others. Zhou Yan then said with embarrassment, "Luo'er, why are you here? There are only men here. Why are you competing with them for business? Come with me back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Su Luo adjusted her hairpin, looked at him strangely, and said, "Thank you for your help, my lord, but what does my business have to do with you?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhou Yan tried to persuade him kindly, "You can't win against those men, and you might even get bullied. You'll lose anyway, so why bother yourself?"
He really looks down on people by looking at them through a crack in the door.
Su Luo didn't argue with him.
Zhou Yan wanted to follow.
Su Luo pointed at him and said, "If you come to help me, you can stay. If you try to persuade me to leave, then you can get out."
"Get lost?" Zhou Yan was hurt by her sudden scolding. He lowered his eyebrows and sighed.
"Well, you can do whatever you want. Even though it's really embarrassing for the Marquisate to show up in public and compete with men for business, who told me to pamper you?"
"I will stand behind you and support you. With me here, no one will dare to bully you..."
Who wants to listen to him?
Su Luo rolled her eyes in front of him.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Yan felt a little disappointed, but he secretly encouraged himself.
As long as he persists, he can win back Su Luo's disappointment in him.
soon.
I saw that the merchants had arrived one after another in order.
The Minister of War sat at the head of the high platform. He struck the gong with a clang and read aloud, "Today begins the biennial Imperial Merchant Recruitment. Thank you all for your trouble in making this trip."
"According to custom, submit your forged weapons and designs to the Ministry of War. Twenty judges will select the best weapons in the first round."
"After entering the second round, the generals will use the selected weapons to compete for effectiveness."
"The top ten with the best results will be selected to become royal merchants for weapons cooperation."
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister. We know the rules and will hand over the weapons right away." Zhang Shangren, who was beaten to the point of being unsteady on his feet, pretended to be fine and forced himself to flatter.
After saying this, he glanced at Su Luo with hidden anger. He was the first to step forward and hand over the weapon, and whispered to the Minister:
"Sir, to be honest, my aunt, the Imperial Concubine, really likes the weapons I make. But she really doesn't like the weapons made by the Su family."
After hearing this, the minister's eyelids twitched.
The Imperial Concubine had already been mentioned. The Minister was at a critical moment of promotion. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang. If I eliminate the Su family, don't forget to say a few good words for me in front of the Imperial Concubine."
"Naturally, naturally."
The two met and smiled at each other.
Su Luo was the person who carried the most weapons this time, as many as fifteen kinds, which were packed in a large box and presented by Zhihua and others.
The workmanship is excellent, the paint color is also very good, and the design is also very exquisite. Some are very novel. Many merchants have never seen them before and cast curious glances at them.
Su Luo stood in front of the judges' table, smiled slightly, and introduced generously: "Everyone, please look, this is forged by my Su family's blacksmith shop. The Su family's blacksmith shop has been established for a hundred years and has been in business since my grandfather-"
"What a piece of junk!" The Minister picked up a crossbow and threw it on the ground. "That's all! You're a century-old brand, but your performance is getting worse and worse. At this rate, I'm starting to wonder if you got a backdoor into running for the election."
There was a burst of laughter all around!
"A woman designing weapons? That's ridiculous!!"
"Go back and play with your rouge and powder, take care of your children, sing your little songs, and serve your man! Hahaha!" Northern men are more tough and speak directly and rudely.
"What can a woman achieve? And you still dream of becoming an imperial merchant!"
"I'm afraid you can't even lift a crossbow—"
The next moment, Su Luo picked up the crossbow, aimed at the people who were talking, closed one eye and took aim. Before they finished speaking, "Swish, swish, swish" several sharp arrows were shot out, accurately shooting off the hair crowns of several people!
Everyone's laughter froze on their faces.
Several merchants with disheveled hair suddenly felt scared.
It was too fast. The woman's movements of picking up the crossbow, aiming and firing were too fast.
It was so fast that they didn't even finish their words before their hair crowns were shot off. If she had aimed at their throats, they would probably be dead by now.
Everyone looked at Su Luo in disbelief.
"How is it possible..."
"How could she possibly do that..."
"Shoot another arrow and see if I can do it." Su Luo aimed at a fallen leaf on the shoulder of the businessman named Zhang.
"Are you crazy?" The businessman surnamed Zhang suddenly became timid. "Is the princess crazy? She just grabbed the crossbow and started shooting. This is not murder. What is this-"
"Swish!" Su Luo pulled the trigger and shot the sharp arrow accurately at the fallen leaf on the opponent's shoulder.
"Don't move." Su Luo curled her lips and said gently, "Otherwise it will shoot somewhere else."
The businessman surnamed Zhang turned pale with nervousness!
As everyone held their breath, the sharp arrow pierced the center of the leaf and flew to the tree trunk behind it!
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"I'm not trying to kill anyone. I'm trying to show you how accurate my crossbow is." Su Luo put away the crossbow and raised her lips. "And to show you my superb skills. Who says women are inferior to men? Are there ten people here who are better archers than me?"
She can quickly shoot off several people's hair crowns and can also shoot off fallen leaves.
Actually... there are really few people who can be better than her.
The Minister looked a little embarrassed, but someone next to him said, "Alright, you'll be selected. The Minister just made a mistake."
If such a powerful crossbow is not selected, the Ministry of War will be accused of taking revenge on personal gain, and it would not be good if the news got out that it was targeting the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhou Yan, who was sitting not far away, had an expression of disbelief and astonishment on his face.
Su Luo...how could it be...
So amazing...
