At this time, those people finally understood the situation, and the man who was engaged to Wu Hui now struggled to squeeze forward from the back of the crowd.

After much difficulty, she squeezed in front of Fu Bao and said, "Miss Li, I knew you were of a high status when I saw you. I didn't expect you to be the prince's adopted sister. To me, you don't look like an adopted sister at all. You look more like a real sister!"

Fu Bao looked at him in surprise, his eyes twitching slightly. How could this man lie with his eyes open? However, he also understood that these people wanted to curry favor with Xiao Shun.

After all, Yuezhou was far away from the emperor, and it was rare to see a small county lady, let alone a prince. Tianqi was the only one, and many people would never see him in their lifetime. If one could really please the prince, then he would be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Xiao Shun said mercilessly: "With your mediocre skills, if others hadn't let you go, do you think you could have survived to this day? Your right hand is disabled, so be it. Pass on my order, the doctor is not allowed to treat her hand."

The county lady looked at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't dare anymore, Your Majesty."

Xiao Shun waved his hand, and his men immediately took the man away.

Then, he looked at the people who had gathered in the teahouse for a long time and were reluctant to leave and said, "We've seen the excitement, but you still want to stay for tea?"

After hearing what he said, the people around him lowered their heads and dared not speak, and slowly left. Soon, only Fu Bao, him, the owner and the waiter were left in the teahouse.

The owner's face was full of smiles: "The visit of the prince and the young lady to our shop is really an honor for us." After saying that, he dismissed the waiters on his left and right and came over to make tea for them himself.

Fubao took the box from Yi An, put it on the table and opened it, and a pistol appeared in front of Xiao Shun.

Fu Bao curled his lips slightly, picked up the pistol and turned it over and over in his hand, scaring the boss so much that he broke out in a sweat: "Miss, be careful, this thing can easily go off."

Fu Bao smiled and said, "An accidental discharge? That's okay. I consider myself unlucky if I get hurt."

The host smiled and said, "Be careful. Miss, you are a precious person. This thing is really dangerous."

Xiao Shun smiled and let him go down first.

Fu Bao placed the dagger and sword he bought from Jingbao on the table and pushed them in Xiao Shun's direction: "Take a look. Which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

Xiao Shun smiled and said, "Yishu is really rich!" Of course he knew that Fubao spent a lot of money in the teahouse, so he deliberately brought it up as a joke.

Then, he picked up the sword and the dagger and tried them out, then put the Purple Lightning away: "You won't be able to use this sword, so I'll take it. You can carry the dagger with you, it's perfect for self-defense."

Fubao nodded and asked Yian to put away the dagger. After calling him twice, he didn't respond. Fubao looked over in confusion and found that his face was pale and he was shaking with nervousness.

Fubao quickly went over and pressed his shoulder: "Yi An! Yi An! What's wrong with you?"

Yi An came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "Ah? What happened?"

Fubao: "Why are you in a daze? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Yi An shook his head and glanced at Xiao Shun intentionally or unintentionally. Fu Bao immediately understood: "Don't be nervous, the prince is not an unreasonable person."

After that, he said to Xiao Shun: "He is the grandson of the ministers of the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, he became a beggar here. When I first came to Yuezhou, they helped me a lot."

Xiao Shun nodded and said soothingly: "It's okay. The previous dynasty has been destroyed for a long time. There are still many ministers serving in the court. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Yi An listened to him saying this and stared at him blankly, as if he was getting to know the royal family of Tianqi all over again.

Fubao knew that he was frightened by King Li and his family. His grandfather and father both died at the whim of the royal family. Now, he had the courage to accompany her to meet Xiao Shun, which was a great courage.

Fubao didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he said, "Then you go wait for me in the carriage, I will leave after I finish talking about things." Yi An ran away feeling relieved.

Xiao Shun looked at the musket and said, "Is this what we have been looking for?"

Fu Bao nodded: "The owner of this place is the manager of the dock. My father worked there for a while, and then he found this place."

Xiao Shun's eyes turned cold: "How many pistols are there on the dock?"

Fu Bao pondered for a moment and said, "The exact amount is unknown, but if King Li gets it, defeating Tianqi will be a piece of cake."

Xiao Shun nodded: "So what are your plans?"

Fu Bao: "This shopkeeper doesn't look like a desperate criminal. He just wants to make more money, so he took the risk to get these weapons. So I think, if our bid is higher than King Li's, then..."

Xiao Shun immediately called his boss in and said frankly, "I want this batch of muskets. Name your price."

The owner panicked almost instantly, his eyes evading: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Xiao Shun directly drew out the Purple Lightning and said, "I know your background. You dare to accept the money from King Li. Do you think you have lived too long?"

The boss's knees softened instantly and he fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was bewitched."

Xiao Shun said, "I won't give you those empty promises. Do you want this chance to redeem yourself or not?"

The boss knocked his head loudly: "Yes! Yes! As long as I can help the prince, I am willing to do anything."

Fubao looked at Xiao Shun in surprise: "That's it? Is that enough?" She had been planning for a long time, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper would be so scared that he blurted out everything after just a few words.

The boss stood up tremblingly: "I am just a manager. The goods will be shipped out soon, and King Li will send people to take them away. I... I don't know anything else!"

Fu Bao's eyes turned cold: "What he said is true." Li Shuangrong also said that the goods would be escorted away in a few days.

Xiao Shun's eyes changed: "Then move the things out first."

The boss immediately said, "No! There are too many people guarding inside, and the workers don't want to lose their jobs, so they all follow them wholeheartedly. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy. The most important thing is that those things cannot be moved in a day or two!"

Fubao: "You don't have to worry about that. Just take me in, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Xiao Shun: "This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

After hearing this request, the host immediately said, "Not difficult! Not difficult! Miss, I can go whenever you want."

That night, Fubao asked her boss to take her to the dock. No one questioned her along the way, and she entered the warehouse smoothly.

Going in empty-handed did not attract attention, and when I came out, no one noticed that the warehouse behind was empty.

The boss was sweating, provided her with protection, and sent the person out.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the batch of pistols had fallen into Fubao's hands.
