So she left in a fit of anger!
She wanted to see who was causing trouble in Luzhou.
She and Wu Ling, each on a horse, hurried towards Luzhou. Along the way, they encountered many bandits who were trying to profit from the national crisis.
Now, with internal and external troubles plaguing Fengtian, these bandits have found an opening!
They're a bunch of bullies who only know how to bully ordinary people. If they're so capable, why don't they go to the front lines and fight the enemy? He despises people like that the most. So, in a fit of anger, he lowered the prices of everything on his Taobao platform and finally managed to buy spirit stones. He also bought a new spirit cannon!
She needs to deal with these scoundrels quickly; the Holy Kingdom must have received the news by now, and war is imminent!
She needs to prepare early!
And just like that, the journey that would normally take ten days was completed in five!
Upon reaching the border between the two states, Lin Ru decided to find an inn to rest for a day. She had killed far too many people along the way, and her inner demons were starting to stir again!
I must take some pills to improve my strength and suppress my inner demons!
Moreover, I've been living a very tiring life these past few days, so I need to rest and recuperate before I can get back to work!
As the two arrived at the county town on the border of the two states, they were surprised to find that this county town was definitely the most prosperous of all the county towns they had ever been to!
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and everyone seemed peaceful!
These people were walking through the streets and alleys, making quite a scene!
Lin Ru stopped a woman with a smile, slipped a silver ingot into her hand, and said with a smile, "Auntie! May I trouble you for a moment? I'd like to ask you something!"
The old woman chuckled and pushed the silver back, saying, "You little rascal, just say what you want to say. Why are you giving me silver back? Honestly!"
"These days, no one has it easy, and it's especially hard for your family to earn this little bit of money!"
"When you're away from home, be careful with your money!"
Lin Ru had been out for so long, and this was the first time she had been offered money, which was refused!
I could only push it into her hand again!
"Auntie, please keep it!"
"I actually wanted to ask if you know of any reliable inns around here?"
"My brother and I are newcomers here. We originally planned to go to Luzhou to visit our relatives, but we are exhausted from traveling day and night. We want to get some rest before we see our relatives!"
The old lady smiled and waved her handkerchief.
"You're too polite, kid! You look like you come from a wealthy family!"
"Why did you go to Luzhou when you were staying in Mianzhou? I heard things have been a bit chaotic there lately!"
"Old Zhao, the guy who sells donkey rolls, hasn't come over for several days!"
"Seriously, this is what I crave!"
"You have no idea! Ever since Mianzhou and Luzhou came under Her Majesty's jurisdiction, our lives have been getting better and better!"
"Not only do we have no shortage of water, but even strange and unusual things from Luzhou can be brought over! You have no idea! Back when Prince Shun was alive, life was really tough for us border people!"
“His men were like bandits, always coming to rob us. But ever since the goddess killed that beast, the people of Luzhou have all behaved themselves. We never traded before, but now this border town is bustling with people every day, exchanging goods and services. Our lives are getting better and better!”
"The goddess is such a good person!"
"Thank goodness for her. Otherwise, I would have had to flee too!"
"So you should take your money back now, I don't need it!"
"Isn't it just an inn?"
"Go to Anqian Inn up ahead! It's famously safe and expensive!"
"No one dares to mess with this inn; the power behind it is not to be underestimated!"
Lin Ru was a little embarrassed by the old lady's praise, but the name "Safe Inn" sounded very familiar!
Safe and profitable, isn't this just like that chain of inns?
She still remembers the boy named Little Bean!
I wonder if the shopkeeper and the waiter are still alive?
It was thanks to the large amount of cooked food we got from them that we were able to appease Xiaoyue!
She needs to buy more roast chicken and roast duck here and put them in her space, otherwise Xiaoyue will get angry with her again!
We originally agreed to take it with us when we left, but the Holy Kingdom is eyeing us covetously, so we arranged for it to stay there and keep watch!
Thinking of this, she thanked the old woman and headed towards Anqian Inn. However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the inn, a little boy rushed over and almost bumped into Lin Ru!
Wu Ling was quick enough to pull Lin Ru aside, preventing her from being bumped into!
The little boy ran in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing him. He almost bumped into someone, but he didn't apologize!
Wu Ling was a little angry. This blind brat actually dared to bump into his young lady's arms. He really didn't want to live!
Lin Ru quickly stopped Wu Ling, who was about to teach the boy a lesson, "Alright, alright! He's just a kid, why bother getting angry with him?"
"Judging from his hurried and flustered appearance, he must have gotten into some trouble, and his family is probably chasing after him!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the little boy who had run away suddenly ran back!
He knelt down in front of Lin Ru and even tried to hug her leg!
Seeing his stance, Lin Ru quickly took a step back and then kicked the little boy in the chest!
"Why don't you learn good things at such a young age?"
"You think you can hug my legs?"
"Or are you trying to harm me?"
The little boy shook his head and didn't say anything!
They're all single-mindedly trying to come here and curry favor with us!
Soon a group of people caught up, shouting, "Stop! You brat, stop right there! You stole my steamed buns!"
"Give me the money right now!"
"I'm buying these steamed buns for my wife!"
"And my roasted chicken legs! Those are for my wife too!"
"You brat, you actually ate them all!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
Upon seeing this, the little boy burst into tears, pointing at Lin Ru and crying, "Big brother! I was so hungry! That's why I stole some more food from you! This is my family member, you should ask her for money!"
"I really had no money on me. My family thought I was too young, so they wanted me to go out and steal some things. Now that I've brought the stolen goods back, they've put them all in their hands and are just abandoning me!"
"Is there no humanity left?"
"Look at the person in front of you, that's my father, and my stepmother!"
