The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

"It's fine. On the other hand, the invitation in your hand is of some interest to me." Feng Qing's gaze landed on the invitation in his hand. This year, the City Lord's Mansion gave out many invitations to many people. However, outsiders didn't know what was going on in the Peony City.

Placing spies in Peony City was an extremely difficult task.

This was because there were six clans in Peony City that controlled the entire city along with the Mayor's mansion. Other than the fact that they knew some secrets, outsiders could only look at peonies in this place.

Hearing Feng Qing's question, Jun Ru's gaze landed on him and Mu Ru Yue. After sizing them up for a while, he chuckled. "It seems like you were invited as well."

"Yes." Feng Qing didn't interrupt him. It was more accurate to say that Mu Ru Yue was invited and he just wanted to have a look at her. Based on his status, he would be treated as an inspection here.

"It's an auction. Recently, a slave has been found in Peony City. This slave is very interesting. Even though he was covered in poisonous blood, he had survived until now. Many people fought over this slave and decided to make an auction.

Apart from this, there was another reason, which was for the end of the peony this year.

The season for peonies was soon over, and every year when the peonies fell, something good would always happen. This year, when the Imperial Advisor passed Peony City, he predicted that Peony City would be a golden age rarely seen in a thousand years. Therefore, they would naturally invite a lot of people.

I suppose you came because you were invited to watch the curtain fall on the peony. " The man said faintly.

Mu Ru Yue nodded. That was true, because she didn't know that there were slaves in Peony City. After hearing this, he was speechless. In the eyes of these people, they were nothing more than goods.

It was as if … That day, Pill King Valley's young master looked at her the same way.

Speaking of this, Mu Ru Yue was stunned and became suspicious. How could the Pill King Valley not get involved with such a person?

"After the slave auction every year, I will decide on the distribution of power among the six families. That is what I have to do. These clans are really disgusting. " Jun Ruo's tone was full of disdain.

It was obvious that he had suppressed it for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing.

"So, you want to participate?" Or should I continue to do my best? " Feng Qing looked at Jun Ruo and spoke calmly. He did not speak of the six noble families with him, as he had expected. In Feng Qing's eyes, these things were not important in the first place.

Even if he had appeared here, it was only for the sake of the throne.

Even Jun Ruo didn't expect Feng Qing to be so cold and aloof. And then he started to laugh, "You're still the same as before. "If so, why did you come?"

Why did he come?

Feng Qing thought for a moment. He looked at the man and said, "It's just a whim."

"Brother Feng's words are quite interesting. However, this so called 'whim' will likely cause you to become involved." You are a noble man, and the last time you came, you were also a noble guest of the Mayor's Palace.

[Since I am a member of the Jun Family, it is just a pipe dream to stay here in the face of such chaos.] In this world, there is no such person who would give me convenience and allow me to truly do whatever I want. If I do a good job in this matter, this teahouse will still belong to me. However, if you do not do it well, I'm afraid that you will not be able to see me the next time you come. " Jun Ru's voice was very faint.

At this point, he seemed a little depressed.

However, there was no nervousness or worry in his eyes. As he spoke, he continued to brew tea for the two of them. It was as if this tea was the only thing he could rely on. Such a person was quite interesting.

However, why would Feng Qing come here?

Mu Ru Yue's heart was filled with curiosity towards this matter. After all, this person couldn't possibly be here to drink a cup of tea, right? Since it was remembered by Feng Qing, then there must be a reason why it was remembered. Not many people could be remembered by the current Crown Prince.

There were countless people who wanted to get to know him.

At this moment, Mu Ru Yue was filled with curiosity. Very soon, she heard Feng Qing say, "Is Jun Ruo interested in going to the slave market?"

"Huh?" The teacup in the man's hand froze. He looked at Feng Qing in disbelief: "I remember that the last time I was here, Young Master Feng was still very much at odds with this slave system. Why is he here today?"

"What I detest is what I have done, what I have done, what I have done. As for the slaves, there was no harm in doing so. It's just that this time, I'm a bit more interested. "If possible, I would like to know more about this system of slavery." Feng Qing's voice was faint.

When the man heard this, he was silent for a moment and then said: "Let's not beat around the bush. Young Noble Feng wants to go to the slave market, that should be the reason why you are looking for me, right?"

Feng Qing nodded.

"Since that's the case, Young Noble Feng should know the rules of this city. There is a price to pay if you want to invite people to the slave market to lead the way. Is Young Master prepared to pay this price? " The man continued.

When Feng Qing heard this, he took out a jade pendant, "This is the price."

When Jun Ru heard this, he looked at the jade pendant and his expression immediately changed. This jade pendant … The words written on it were 'Emptiness Valley'. It was related to the Vale. Outside, this could be said to be worth a thousand taels of gold.

"This thing is good stuff, is young master serious?" Jun Ruo asked with doubt.

Feng Qing nodded his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts about this item. If Jun Ru likes it, he can take it away. However, the condition is to bring us to the slave market to have a look, and while doing so … Pick two slaves for us. "

Jun Yunrue fiddled with the jade pendant as she thoughtfully looked at Feng Qing. After a long while, she slowly stood up, "Although I don't know what Sir is trying to do, I still trust you. After all … You and I can be considered friends. Now that friends have come to find me and they are so sincere, I naturally have to accompany them.

"Today, it just so happens that the day is not as good as the day after the collision. Let's do it today." The man's words were very straightforward. Murong Yue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard him. She didn't expect that this Young Master Jun Ru would bring them to the slave market right now.

"Alright." Feng Qing opened his mouth.

These two people were truly swift and decisive. They had just said they were going, and had immediately made their preparations. However, Feng Qing didn't bring Tao Er with her this time. She didn't even ask Mu Ru Yue to bring her personal servant, Yun'er.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant at the same time.

Although it was called a restaurant, it was not very appropriate to call it that. After all, this shop could not even see the signboard clearly. Rather than calling it a restaurant, it would be more accurate to call it a shabby wooden house. After the three of them walked out, they blended into the crowd on the street.

In the past few days, due to the upcoming grand gathering in Peony City, there had been many pedestrians staying in the nearby restaurants. This place could be said to be packed full of people. As Mu Ru Yue looked at these people, he suddenly felt that what Jun Ru said was a bit inappropriate.

Normally, there were many people here, and without customers, it would be difficult for them to survive. However, at this time, he should be able to earn more silver than a year had passed, right? The only exception was this Jun Ru, who had opened a shop here. He didn't renovate or do anything; he just lived a life of ease.

It really made people speechless.

However, this was a matter of someone else's family, and Mu Ru Yue couldn't be bothered to explain it to him. Moreover, this Jun Ruo seemed rather famous, and it was unknown why he would do such a thing. At the moment, in Peony City, it would be better to speak less.

With that thought, Mu Ru Yue calmed down.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the street. This was the entrance to the last three streets. Seeing that someone had come out, the guards at the entrance stopped them all. "Why are the pedestrians coming out?"

The guards at the entrance were all dressed in robes with peonies engraved on them. Evidently, they were people from the City Lord's Mansion.

Jun Ru frowned slightly as he took out a token from his bosom. "The Jun Family's matter."

The bodyguards were all startled by Jun Ruo's command medallion. After clearly seeing the command medallion, they looked at Jun Ruo again and did not dare to stop his. Even though Jun Ru had been living in the backstreet, he was still the eldest son of the Jun Family.

Naturally, no one dared to be negligent.

Feng Qing and Mu Rong Yue followed behind Jun Ru. At this moment, Mu Ru Yue finally understood why Feng Qing wanted to bring Jun Ru along. Feng Qing's intention was to use Jun Ru and the Jun Family as cover.

If Feng Qing went out on his own, if it aroused others' suspicions, he would definitely do more investigations. At that time, Feng Qing's plans would be in vain. However, even now, Mu Ru Yue still didn't know how Feng Qing would destroy the slave system here.

However, her curiosity caused her to be unable to resist following the two of them.

When they were about a hundred meters away from the entrance to the street, Jun Ruo was finally relieved. "Let's head over. There are some words that need to be said to warn the two of you before entering the slave market."

"Hmm?" Feng Qing was puzzled.

"In the slave market, most of them are under the command of the mayor. If you really want to do something, don't act recklessly at this time. Otherwise, no matter who you are, you will end up the same.
