"Could it be that there is another alien invasion?!" Su Luo couldn't help but speculate.
Qingzhou has a complex terrain and is located on the border of Daxia. Linshui County, the territory of Sinan Hou, is adjacent to the barbarians, and wars often occur there.
This is also the reason why Marquis Sinan became one of the few princes in the Great Xia Dynasty who was able to possess military power.
However, under normal circumstances, even if the barbarians invaded, it would only be a small fight that could be dealt with by the border guards, and Marquis Sinan would not use his personal soldiers.
Marquis Sinan's personal soldiers are the elite among the elite, and they will not be deployed unless there is a serious situation.
But at this moment, in Su Luo's sight, the team of light cavalry at the entrance of Yunhai Town were actually the personal soldiers of Marquis Sinan.
"Or, what happened?!"
Su Luo murmured, looking a little ugly.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, but he has just started to develop and does not want chaos to occur.
After thinking for a moment, after entering Yunhai Town, Su Luo did not go directly to Sinan Trading Company, but found a teahouse.
There was a bustle in the teahouse. The residents of Yunhai Town also felt that something was wrong and came out to inquire about the news. Traveling merchants often stayed in the teahouse and knew more news.
"What on earth happened? Did the war start again?!"
"Those barbarians have been harassing our Great Xia border since three years ago, causing constant friction. Are they planning to launch a massive invasion now?"
"Haha, our Si Nan Army in Linshui County is full of elite troops. If the barbarians dare to come, they will be killed! We don't have to worry so much!"
"Who's worried about the barbarians invading? But if there's a war, I'm afraid we'll have to raise taxes again!"
"Alas, life is already difficult. At the end of last year, they said they were going to repair the border, and they have already increased taxes by 30%. If a war breaks out, I'm afraid they will increase taxes by at least another 30%... How are we going to survive?!"
In the corner, Su Luo listened silently without attracting other people's attention.
He felt a little heavy in his heart. The lives of the people of Da Xia were much harder than he had imagined.
Amid the noise, a middle-aged man who looked like a traveling merchant stood up in the middle of the teahouse and said with a smile, "There's no need to worry. This isn't an invasion by barbarians, nor is there going to be a war!"
"We can't fight! The barbarians have always been suppressed by our Great Xia troops. How could they dare to invade on a large scale?!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded, and the tension on their faces relaxed, but they were still a little worried.
After all, even Si Nan Hou's personal soldiers were dispatched. If it wasn't a big deal, how could this happen? !
The merchant said, "You don't know this. Tomorrow is the birthday of our Si Nan Hou's eldest son..."
"As everyone knows, the Su family of Sinan Marquis's Mansion is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. All young disciples need to be sent out for training after they reach adulthood!"
"And the eldest son of the Si Nan Marquis Mansion is already 20 years old this year. He was sent to Feiyun City for training two years ago. His performance is brilliant and he will definitely meet the requirements of the Su family and become the next Si Nan Marquis!"
"The Marquis is very happy about this and is even more satisfied with the eldest son. He plans to personally celebrate the eldest son's birthday this year, so he sent out his personal soldiers!"
After hearing this, everyone finally understood.
It turns out that the reason why Si Nan Hou mobilized his personal soldiers was not because of a major incident, nor because of the invasion of the barbarians...
But it’s because we want to celebrate the birthday of the eldest son of the Marquis’ Mansion!
At this point, the merchant added, "I have a relative who works in the Marquis's Mansion, so this news is true!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the last bit of tension in everyone's hearts disappeared!
As long as there was no war and no taxes, everything would be fine. Then, everyone turned the topic to the birthday of the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion.
"Using the elite soldiers of the Si Nan Marquis's mansion to celebrate his birthday?! The Marquis is giving the eldest son enough face!"
"Yes, the eldest son will be able to return to the Marquis' Mansion next year. I heard that the fiefdom under the eldest son's jurisdiction this time has made great achievements. He has earned eight thousand taels in just two years..."
"The eldest son is so smart, and the Marquis has given him a hand. This is already a clear guarantee that the eldest son will become the next Marquis of our Linshui County!"
In the corner, Zhang Daqiang was full of indignation and lowered his voice: "Son-in-law, how can that so-called eldest son be compared to you?!"
"You only made eight thousand taels in two years, and you can be called smart?! You, my son-in-law, have made eight thousand taels in less than eight days!"
Su Luo took a sip of tea and said nothing, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion was actually the eldest lady's biological son and his nominal elder brother, Su Xuan.
What a grand ceremony! Marquis Si Nan was willing to use his personal soldiers to celebrate a birthday?!
As he remembered, a month ago was Su Luo's birthday. The original owner's only wish was to meet his biological father.
But he took a huge risk and passed the message to the Marquis, only to be told in the study of the Marquis that "Father has something to do today, let's talk later" and the original owner was sent back.
Later, the eldest lady learned about this and locked the original owner in the woodshed for three days for presumptuous behavior, leaving him to eat only the leftovers of the servants.
They are obviously both Si Nan Hou's biological sons, but because one is the legitimate son and the other is the illegitimate son, he has to be so partial to them? !
Su Luo had a blank expression on his face, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a voice of great yearning was heard in the teahouse.
"Oh, how enviable! How wonderful it would be if I could be born in a marquis's mansion?!"
"Yes, the Marquis is a very good man. He works hard to govern the country and often does good deeds. If I could be his son, I would definitely not have to worry about anything in my life!"
