The gate slowly opened, and three ships entered.
On the deck of the first ship stood Prefect Wu, dressed in official robes and exuding an imposing aura, with Manager Hua, dressed in a blue robe, standing beside him.
The decks of the three ships were lined with soldiers from the Youzhou Prefecture government.
Li Lanzhen was puzzled as to why the prefect and his entourage had arrived here so quickly.
Xuan Shen smiled and strode towards her.
“Auntie, it was I who sent Stone to report to the prefectural government.”
Li Lanzhen looked again and saw a stone dressed in a black outfit on the deck of the second ship.
She nodded. "No wonder. That explains why Prefect Wu and his men arrived so quickly, and why they brought soldiers with them."
Thank you so much, Scrophularia.
"If you hadn't arrived quickly, and if An Yi and the others hadn't been so skilled, this Peach Blossom Spring would probably be in trouble today."
"Auntie, you don't need to thank me. It's what I should do."
After today, we need to think of a way so that our training camp can be notified of any enemy activity in the valley.
Prevention is always better than cure.
Li Lanzhen wholeheartedly agreed and began to search her mind for any items in her space that could undertake this important task.
As the group was talking, the prefect's boat also docked.
The gangway was lowered, and the soldiers on the deck disembarked in an orderly fashion, quickly surrounding the people kneeling on the ground at the eleven-tree pier.
The prefect smiled and nodded at Li Lanzhen in greeting.
He turned his back, his face full of anger, walked up to the person kneeling under the big tree, and asked.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? And why are you bringing so many weapons into Youzhou City!"
What do you want? Do you want to attack my Youzhou City?
Or are you traitors who escaped the net?
"Guards, seize them! Take them onto the ship. Once we reach Youzhou Prefecture, I will thoroughly interrogate these rebels."
Upon hearing this, Li Lanzhen exclaimed, "Lord Wu is brilliant!"
They immediately labeled these people who barged into Peach Blossom Spring as "rebels," haha, they deserved it!
The Ministry of Works' office is a place where the only options are beheading or exile!
Whatever the outcome, it has nothing to do with Li Lanzhen. The Ministry of Works doesn't understand the principle that if you don't court death, you won't die.
Her eyes lit up, and she thought, "I'll take advantage of your illness!" She quickly went to Prefect Wu's side.
"Your Excellency, at that time, these three ships were clamoring to break into our Peach Blossom Spring."
We refused to open the lock. There was a man on the ship who shouted loudly that they were from the capital and were from the Ministry of Works.
I don't know if this news is true or false.
He had barely finished shouting that when someone next to him chopped off his head with a knife.
"Look, it's that kneeling person, the tallest one in black."
Upon seeing Prefect Wu, Li Lanzhen immediately began to sow discord between the enemy and the enemy.
He pointed to the tall man and showed him to the prefect.
As soon as she finished speaking, the person looked up sensitively and stared at Li Lanzhen with a pair of sinister and malicious eyes.
Li Lanzhen shuddered under his intense gaze.
It felt as if I were being entangled by a venomous snake!
Xuan Shen quickly stood in front of her, blocking the man's vicious gaze.
Xuan Shen thought to himself, "It seems this guy can't be kept alive."
"Madam Li, I'm taking these people back to the prefectural city first. I need to interrogate them thoroughly before reporting to the Emperor."
"It's all my fault. I failed to properly manage the defenses of Youzhou Prefecture, allowing them to slip through and come here to disturb you."
Li Lanzhen dared not respond to the prefect's words.
He quickly bowed and said, "Not at all, not at all. This has nothing to do with the Prefect. It's the enemy who is too vicious. Thank you for arriving in time to save the lives of everyone in Peach Blossom Village."
On behalf of everyone in Peach Blossom Spring, I thank the Prefect.
When Prefect Wu saw the three boats, he said to Li Lanzhen, "Madam Li, these three boats are your compensation."
There isn't a single decent boat in your Peach Blossom Spring.
Fortunately, these three ships can be put to good use.
You should take good care of the elderly and children in Peach Blossom Spring.
I will proceed ahead.
After seeing off the prefect, Manager Hua clasped his hands in a gesture of apology.
"Madam Li, according to reliable sources, these people have come to steal sweet potatoes and potatoes."
It's also my fault. The Sifang Restaurant in Beijing started serving dishes made with vermicelli, and its sales skyrocketed, making it incredibly popular.
The "Eight Directions Guests" restaurant, owned by the Ministry of Works, which had always been at odds with us, was filled with envy and jealousy.
After failing to recruit our cooks repeatedly, they bribed a waiter and that's how they learned about Peach Blossom Spring.
So I found the address and came here.
terribly sorry."
Li Lanzhen reached out and lifted Manager Hua's body as he clasped his hands in a fist salute as he descended the mansion.
"How can you blame yourself for this?"
We are all serious people; we would never resort to such underhanded tactics.
"It's not your fault. In fact, I should thank you for making Peach Blossom Spring famous in the capital."
Xuan Shen stepped forward and supported Manager Hua's arm.
"Uncle Hua, get up. You don't need to blame yourself."
Now, the Emperor has firmly established himself in the court!
They were preparing to seize upon the mistakes of these ministers who formed cliques and did nothing in the court and punish them accordingly.
Here it comes! Next spring, the Le Dynasty will have a new beginning.
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "Let's go, Manager Hua, let's go to the dining room."
I wonder how the children are doing.
