Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

"Besides being heroic, what else?"

Lu You asked, with a pained expression, about the abrupt ending.

"That's it." Zuo Yunfeng said dejectedly, "Although Jason's assassination attempt failed, he set a precedent for assassinating the Emperor."

"At that time, it was the end of the Feng Dynasty. The emperor was tyrannical, extravagant, and dissolute, and the people of the world suffered terribly."

"Jason's actions have paved a new path for heroes all over the world. In the decades that followed, people continued to try to assassinate the Emperor Feng through various means."

"This also indirectly led to the successive emperors who were extremely violent and tyrannical, thus completely losing the support of the people."

"Some say that although Jason did not actually thrust his sword, he severed the fate of the Great Feng Dynasty."

"Martial artists have always used their skills to break the law, and many people want to do something like Jason's feat so that they can be remembered in the history of martial arts."

When Zuo Yunfeng said this, his tone was passionate and his eyes were full of anticipation; he was clearly about to do something silly again.

Lu You couldn't understand the pursuit of this martial artist from another world. She could only sigh helplessly as she took the scabbard from Duanmu Rong and sheathed the short blade.

But as he exerted force, the scabbard made a cracking sound.

Lu You looked down and saw that the scabbard had split open.

"This scabbard must be the original; it's remarkable that it has been preserved in this state for over a century."

"The mayfly blade is extremely sharp. You used too much force when you sheathed it, so it's normal for the sheath to break."

Duanmu Rong, standing to the side, gently stroked the scabbard and spoke.

“Lu You, I observe that your swordplay is very wide and sweeping; you're not used to using this short sword.”

"How about you name your price and give me this mayfly?"

"No good! What if you stab me with such a sharp knife one day?" Lu You held the knife hilt and handed the cracked scabbard to Ming Cui beside her: "Find someone to make me another scabbard."

[Negative emotions from Duanmu Rong +80, +80, +80...]

Lu You ignored Duanmu Rong and simply pointed to the third box.

"Open that and see what's inside?"

Upon hearing this, Bingqin reached out and opened it, respectfully presenting it to Lu You.

The three looked down and saw that inside was an exquisite jade pendant with a fish pattern.

Lu You picked up the jade pendant and examined it from both sides, but found nothing unusual.

Duanmu Rong, who was standing next to her, also took the jade pendant with a puzzled look on her face.

"This first inkstone is a gift for Mr. Guan, and it is the main text."

"The second mayfly blade is a gift for you, Master of Martial Arts."

"But what does this jade pendant mean?"

"This thing doesn't look like it's made of pure material, and it's not suitable for a first greeting. Could it be a mistake?"

As Duanmu Rong was speaking, Zuo Yunfeng snatched the jade pendant from her hand.

"This is for me."

After leaving behind only this sentence, Zuo Yunfeng turned and left the hall, leaving Lu You and Duanmu Rong looking at each other in bewilderment.

No one knew what the jade pendant meant, and Zuo Yunfeng did not reappear for another day.

Although Lu You was puzzled, she tacitly chose not to ask further when she thought of how Zuo Yunfeng left.

In the evening, Lu You once again gathered all the servants in the mansion together to practice horsemanship, routinely harvesting negative emotions.

Even a small fly is still meat.

Leaning against the roof ridge, Lu You crossed her legs contentedly as she watched her points balance slowly increase.

As the saying goes, "Practice hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer."

"If you want to cultivate martial arts, you can't be lazy in the slightest."

"Hey you... Chang Wei, you keep an eye on things for me. If anyone slacks off, beat them up!"

“Those who were beaten, remember this: every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If you have any grievances, take them out on me. Don’t blame Chang Wei…”

As Lu You was speaking, she saw a somewhat hunched figure walking quickly towards her from outside the garden.

Lu You sat up straight and looked down. The person who came was none other than the old steward, Feng Er.

"Miss, stop practicing! Master is back!"

Old Guan?

Upon hearing Feng Er's words, Lu You stood up and lightly touched the ground. In a flash, she covered a distance of three zhang and floated towards the front yard, stepping on the wall.

While on the lounge chair in the garden, Duanmu Rong naturally dared not be as unruly as Lu You, but she also got up, straightened her clothes, and walked along the path towards the front yard to greet her.

Guan Shanyue was in the courtyard when Zuo Yunfeng, who hadn't shown his face all day, respectfully greeted him.

"Mr. Guan, I have come uninvited and am truly disturbing you..."

Before Zuo Yunfeng could finish speaking, he heard the sound of wind behind him. Before he could turn around, Lu You had already landed steadily beside the two of them.

"Old Guan, you're finally back!"

Guan Shanyue swayed his hair and beard, looked at Zuo Yunfeng, and spoke helplessly.

"Can you be more bothersome than her?"

Zuo Yunfeng turned his head to look at Lu You, wanting to say something, but could only choose to remain silent.

Lu You then reached out and patted Zuo Yunfeng on the back.

"I thought you were going to stay in your room for at least three days!"

Seeing Lu You like this, Guan Shanyue sighed helplessly.

“Lu You, I know you do things unconventionally, but you are a girl after all, and you should follow some rules.”

“Rules don’t put food on the table,” Lu You said indifferently. “There are plenty of people in Wudu who follow the rules, so one more won’t make a difference.”

As Lu You spoke, she turned around and saw Duanmu Rong walking quickly towards Guan Shanyue in the corridor. She then bowed gracefully to Guan Shanyue.

"This humble woman, Duanmu Rong, pays her respects to Mr. Guan."

"Who is this...?" Guan Shanyue looked at Lu You with a puzzled expression.

"This is a secret guard trained by the Third Prince Wu Quanwen. He is now keeping me by his side to monitor me, and he lives with me in the back garden."

[Negative emotions from Duanmu Rong +60, +60...]

[Negative emotions from Guan Shanyue: +85, +80...]

[Negative emotions from Zuo Yunfeng +50, +50...]

Guan Shanyue was quite troubled by Lu You's overly blunt words.

"Since it's the Third Prince's arrangement, then I'll settle in and bring some life to my residence."

Guan Shanyue nodded and then turned to look at Lu You.

"Don't go to sleep too early. I'll go take a shower and change first. I have some things to ask you later."

Guan Shanyue was about to leave when she saw Feng Er beside her with a bitter smile.

"Sir, if you wish to take a bath, you will have to wait a while. There is no hot water prepared tonight."

[Negative emotions from Feng Er: +80, +80, +80...]

Ok?

Lu You turned to look at Feng Er.

What's going on with Feng Er?

Preparing hot water for Lao Guan to take a bath is your job as the housekeeper, so why are you having negative feelings towards me?

But Lu You suddenly realized that she had gathered everyone except the gatekeeper to practice horse stance...

"Old Feng, that's where you're wrong."

"As the housekeeper, how can you start to slack off just because my grandfather doesn't come home often?"

“I…” Feng Er stared in shock at Lu You, who had thrown mud at him, and felt a surge of pride: “Miss, you can’t do this…”

“I’m a young lady, what can’t I do?” Lu You interrupted Feng Er, saying, “Quickly, order someone to boil water. Do you know how hard it is for my grandfather to worry about the country and its people all day long? He can’t even take a hot bath when he gets home. You’ve neglected your duty as the housekeeper!”

[Negative emotions from Feng Er: +95, +95, +95...]
