Some of the people standing outside the competition venue also noticed the dogs' arrival when they appeared. They were a little worried, but when they saw the East Palace guards driving the dogs away, they couldn't help but cheer.

They didn't think anywhere else.

There are many people coming to watch the competition today, and it is particularly normal that there are a few who know martial arts among them.

Thinking of this, they turned their heads and continued to watch the competition intently.

Seeing that the people were not too surprised, Li Yu smiled slightly.

Then she looked in the direction where the dogs left.

Those dogs looked quite dirty, but they must have owners. After all, this was ancient times, and there wouldn't be stray dogs covered in meat.

She guessed that even if the dog's owner was not the owner of Green Jade House, he must be related to the owner of Green Jade House.

Just now, two guards from the Eastern Palace followed them quietly. We can ask them after they come back.

A few hundred meters away.

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House sat in front of the carriage, pretending to be calm.

The guy stood beside him, tiptoeing to look around the corner.

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House looked at him with a sidelong glance and said, "What are you worried about? Don't you know how those dogs are doing?"

"Of course I know. I'm just worried, boss. What if someone in that crowd knows martial arts..."

The shopkeeper didn't care: "So what if you know martial arts? Can you really beat a dog? Don't forget, that dog is the most ferocious wolfhound, and can go hunting in the mountains. Last year, they went up the mountain with the boss and hunted a lot of good things."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a dog barking not far away.

The shopkeeper's body stiffened and he slowly turned his head.

The next moment, he saw three dogs running towards the two of them.

Shopkeeper: “…”

According to the original plan, they should be attacking people in the competition venue of the workshop at this time, so why are they back?

The waiter's face turned pale. "Boss, I wonder if anything happened to them."

The shopkeeper was uneasy: "Go and have a look at them." These dogs were entrusted to him by his employer, and he had secretly brought them out to do some work today. If anything went wrong, he would be held responsible.

The man trotted over to meet him, but when the dog reached him, it did not hover around his legs as usual, but jumped up and knocked him to the ground.

A pain rose from his waist and right knee, and the guy screamed. His leg...it seemed like it was broken.

Seeing that things were not going well, the shopkeeper quickly stood up and quickly climbed into the carriage behind him before the other dog arrived.

However, he was so busy jumping that he forgot to push the chair over. The dog jumped onto the chair, and from the chair onto the carriage, barking fiercely at him.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs went limp and he clutched the door of the carriage, shaking like a sieve.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally shouted out of the car, "Get out."

The dog squatted in front of the car door, motionless.

The shopkeeper emphasized, "Go down, you hear me? If you don't go down, you won't have any bones to eat at night!"

The dog remained motionless.

The shopkeeper took a deep breath and was about to speak again when the dog finally jumped out of the car.

Fearing that he would be attacked by a dog after going out, the shopkeeper only opened the door of the carriage a little.

He asked the waiter to tie up the dog. The waiter was sweating from the pain. He covered the wound on his leg and replied in a hoarse voice, "Boss, I was bitten and can't move. Please go to the side and call other people."

The owner was afraid that the dog would jump onto the car again after he left, so he didn't dare to open the door.

The two men remained in a stalemate until the voices of other shop assistants came from behind the carriage.

Without caring about anything else, the shopkeeper immediately ordered others to tie up the dog.

At this time, the dogs were stable, and the other guys stabilized them without much effort.

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House jumped out of the car and patted his chest.

He first looked at the dogs, then asked the guys who tied them, "Are they okay? They went crazy just now."

The guy who tied the dogs looked at the dogs and then at the shopkeeper: "There are no wounds on their bodies."

So what happened to them?

The shopkeeper muttered something and then looked at the guy lying on the ground.

The man's clothes were torn by the dog, and he shrank into a tiny shrimp.

The shopkeeper showed disdain and beckoned for others to carry him to the carriage.

The clerk shed tears because of the pain, "Boss, I'm in pain, can I go back and see a doctor now?"

The shopkeeper looked at the dog, then at him, and said, "Since you want to leave, go ahead, but you have to take the dog with you."

The dogs were not right today. He did not want to be with them. In his current condition, he could not bear to see them go crazy again.

When the clerk heard the word "dog", he remembered the way the dog bit him just now and shrank into a ball in fear. "Boss, I won't go with the dog. I'll go with you..."

Not far away, after listening to the conversation of several people, one of the guards of the East Palace left quietly, while the other continued to stand in a hidden place and observe.

When the owner of Green Jade House and his entourage all returned to the capital, he secretly followed behind.

When Li Yu heard the guard say that the dog was related to Lu Yuju, he remained calm.

Glancing at the people waiting for the results of the judgment, she said to the guards, "After today, tell Mr. Xiang everything you saw and heard, and let Mr. Xiang deal with it tonight."

The shopkeeper of Green Jade House actually released the vicious dog here when everyone is here. It is obvious what he wants to do. The East Palace must find a way to solve the problem, otherwise the competitions in the next two days will be at risk.

While the two were talking, cheers were heard from the competition venue. Li Yu stood up and saw that the results of the afternoon competition were all out.

The afternoon competition still has five groups, and finally two people are selected from each group, for a total of ten people.

Similar to the morning group, the age range of the ten people in the afternoon was also very wide, with the youngest being only fourteen years old and the oldest being over fifty.

Because of Green Jade House’s operations in the morning, the people watching in the afternoon paid special attention to the selection and supervised the entire process.

And because of this, no one raised any objections after the results came out.

There is a talkative person who said he would help promote the workshop after returning to the city.

Some also asked Manager Sheng what the next competition would be like, as they wanted to prepare for it first.

There were even a few women who participated in the Green Jade House competition in the morning who said they regretted it. "The difference between the two families in cotton dolls was only 300 coins. In order to save that little money, I worked in vain today! I don't know when the next Green Jade House competition will be."

"Even if it's tomorrow's competition, to be honest, I still don't trust them. After all, they've already done something unfair once."

"I'm also worried. Next time, I won't participate in their competition no matter what."

Li Yu smiled when he heard these words.

After the contest, the onlookers and contestants left, and Shopkeeper Sheng organized people to pack up.

There will be competitions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Today's stage will not be dismantled, and the tables and chairs will not be moved. There will be people on duty here to watch at night. But those valuable small items must be taken back to the city and brought back tomorrow.

Everything was arranged by Shopkeeper Sheng. Li Yu did not look at it any further and planned to find Princess Jianing and return to the city with her.

However, before she found Princess Jianing, she was stopped by the wife of Wei Hesong, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
