Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Everyone was sweating profusely, trembling all over, kneeling on the ground and begging desperately. The current situation was clearly a far cry from what they had expected.

The prince only looked at everyone with disgust, then turned to the captain and ordered, "These people are suspected of embezzling the princess. Before finding out who instigated them or finding out their true intentions, they should be detained for the time being. If they are restless, they will be sentenced to inferior vanguards."

"Yes, Prince."

After the prince spoke, Captain Ge immediately perked up, borrowed guards from Lin Xiaoyue, and detained the troublemakers.

The people on the ground only felt their eyes go dark, their faces turned pale, and their bodies were shaking. What should they do?

They wanted to resist, but how could they be a match for the guards?

The guards were already holding their breath because of the trouble. When they received the order, they immediately rushed forward and pinned down the troublemakers.

"We were wrong. We were wrong. Your Highness, please forgive us this time. We will never dare to do it again."

"Yes, we were wrong. We really know we were wrong. We will never dare to do it again next time."

"Princess, princess, I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and give us a chance."

Some people regretted it immediately, and after they came to their senses, they hurriedly called for help from Lin Xiaoyue and begged for her forgiveness.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiaoyue turned a blind eye and pulled Xiaocao into the yard. She slammed the door shut, blocking out the high and low wailing sounds outside.

As for the prince and others outside the courtyard, they had seen all kinds of people, pretending to be pitiful, ferocious, threatening, coercing and luring, and they were already numb. They didn't even want to look at this ungrateful ungrateful person.

So, a group of people crying and shouting were gagged by the guards and dragged away, disappearing into the dark night.

Xiao Cao served Lin Xiaoyue dinner on the table, complaining non-stop, "Sister San Ya, why did you let these people go so easily? It's obvious that they are here to cause trouble."

Lin Xiaoyue helplessly tapped her head with her finger, and scolded with a smile, "Since you know they are here to cause trouble, why are you so anxious? Besides, now that they have been dragged away, there is no need to be anxious, right?"

Although these people had been detained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xiao Cao still felt unsatisfied. She sat aside sulking with her cheeks puffed up with anger.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said nothing more, just focused on eating.

The guards acted quickly. When they came back, Lin Xiaoyue had just finished her meal. They simply asked everyone to sit in the main room to discuss the next tasks to be assigned.

Everyone was still angry and felt sick, so when they heard the princess calling for a meeting, they thought the princess wanted to vent her anger, so they all rushed to offer suggestions.

"Princess, let me tell you this. We can't let those people go easily. We must at least establish our authority. Otherwise, we won't have a place to stand at the pass in the future."

"Yes, we have to be tough. Why should we charge into battle and fight in the front, but still have to be on guard against someone stabbing us from behind?"

"That's right. We must teach those people a hard lesson. I think the prince is capable of doing this. He should let those people be the lowest-ranking vanguards and let them experience the life-and-death danger of facing the enemy directly."

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think that those arrogant people should learn a lesson so that they won't be able to distinguish between friend and foe and stab randomly with knives."

Lin Xiaoyue was still very touched by being protected. This was also why she liked to get along with soldiers, because they were straightforward and would talk about anything they were unhappy about in person without any pretense.

Of course, as someone involved, how could Lin Xiaoyue remain calm? She was neither the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary nor a Buddhist nun. Why did she have to be stabbed in the back by the person she had saved after the enemy army sneaked into the city and slaughtered the people last night?

In a real fight, there will be casualties, either you die or I live. She didn't expect those people to repay her, but at least she didn't want to see something like tonight happen again.

However, now is not the time to worry about those people who repay kindness with enmity.

"Come on, let's talk business." Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and asked everyone to stop for a while. She told everyone in advance that she had analyzed the traitor with the prince and others, so that they could take a breath and be on guard.

When everyone heard this, they all gathered their minds and stopped talking. Thinking carefully, the sneak attack last night was a premeditated and purposeful one.

Oh, I never thought that there was a traitor here.

If the traitor is true, then the night attack last night, plus the disturbance tonight... Taste it, taste it carefully, think about it carefully, it is obvious that this incident tonight was deliberately done by someone. If the group of people who caused the trouble had no one to back them up, how dare they be so bold as to not take the princess personally appointed by the emperor seriously and come to provoke her at will?

Well, it would be fine if you didn't think about it, but the more you think about it, the angrier you get, and it makes everyone's nose crooked.

I said, if these people are not sent to the front line to serve as the vanguard, it will simply chill the hearts of all the soldiers at the border. In this way, who will be willing to risk their lives and charge into battle to defend the territory in the future?

Seeing everyone indignant and angry, Lin Xiaoyue quickly brought everyone back to their senses. She didn't want to discuss the traitor with them. The prince and the captain had taken this matter seriously, so there was no need for her to get involved.

Lin Xiaoyue simply divided everyone into groups of ten. Starting tomorrow, everyone would go to the surrounding mountains to look for steep cliffs or high places with updrafts.

By then, after finding a good place, she can take everyone there to exchange gifts.

It doesn't make sense that when someone comes to their door, they don't observe "etiquette" and go over to say hello and express their cordial comfort.

Ouch!!

This is the rhythm of causing trouble! !

Everyone was visibly excited. They didn't even remember whether they were angry or not. All their attention was focused on making trouble.

It must be said that since these soldiers followed Lin Xiaoyue, they, who were originally dull and counting the days to mold, have become radiant and look forward to Lin Xiaoyue coming up with something new for them every day.

Now that was good, another shot of "chicken blood" was given, and everyone was so excited that they wanted to stay up all night and rush up the mountain to explore the way.

As for Xiaocao and Ergou, they will be a little tired these days and be responsible for all the housework and purchasing.

By the way, I asked Ergou to pass a message to the villa and ask them to send a few cooks over. There must be a few good cooks in the house. We can't eat instant noodles every meal. What should we do if we are constipated? We can't rely on Xiaocao, a little girl, to cook for more than 30 people. It will be exhausting.
