After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Thank you, boss! I'll come back in ten days!" Fang Ping thanked him and left the bookstore with a heavy heart.

The students who were still curiously observing the progress of the bookstore couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Fang Shi, did you fail?" when they saw Fang Ping's dejected departure.

"Who knows! Maybe the shopkeeper doesn't like his style!"

"Hey, I originally wanted to introduce my little sister to Brother Fang Shi, but who would have thought..."

"Who says it's not true? He's such a talented poet, how could he not like women?"

.......

The shopkeeper who had just arrived at the front hall heard everything they were talking about quietly.

His face was filled with shame and anger, but he tried his best to endure it. When everyone saw him come out, they all fell silent.

Shopkeeper Xu was secretly annoyed, then he thought of Zhong Ning's instructions before leaving, and then he smiled again and said to everyone:

"You're all here for a good reason. The manuscripts for the second volume of The Legend of the White Snake have been collected and will be published soon. Customers interested can place an order in advance. We will print the second volume based on the actual number of orders!"

Upon hearing this, everyone no longer cared about eating melons. They immediately rushed to the counter and shouted loudly:

"I want five!"

“I want three!”

"I want eight!"

....

"Don't push, don't push. Anyone who has paid a deposit today will have a share!" Shopkeeper Xu smiled from ear to ear and quickly stepped forward to maintain order.

A customer who had not yet entered the store saw that the bookstore was suddenly crowded with people and asked in confusion. The student in front of him in the queue kindly told him.

This is a notice from the shopkeeper, saying that the second volume of "The Legend of White Snake" will be printed soon. Those who are interested can place an order in advance and don't have to worry about not being able to buy it.

The speaker is intentional and the listener is intentional.

Soon, everyone knew that the second volume of "The Legend of White Snake" was about to be printed. A long line formed outside the bookstore, and everyone was waiting to place an order first so as not to miss this opportunity.

It's different from the bustle at the bookstore.

The house where Princess Zhaoyang lived was extremely desolate.

Since it was just a temporary stay, Xiao Yu did not buy a large number of slaves.

The only four servants were only there to guard the house, do laundry and cook.

Now the man has not returned home all night, and the woman is very sad.

Several people also looked helpless, not knowing how to comfort them!

Princess Zhaoyang lay on the fragrant couch, crying bitterly. When she woke up, Xiao Lang was gone. She asked around but had no idea where he was.

She eloped with Xiao Lang, and Xiao Lang became her only support.

But now, Xiao Lang is nowhere to be seen.

Zhaoyang tightly held the jade ring that was her and Xiao Yu's token of love and cried bitterly.

Where is Xiao Lang?

Where should she go to look for Xiao Lang?

On the first day, she believed that Xiao Lang had just gone out to do something and forgot to come back!

The next day, she began to wonder if Xiao Yu had another woman outside? At this time, he was immersed in the gentleness of other women!

It wasn't until the third day...that she began to wonder if something had happened to Xiao Yu?

But now she had no one else to know, and she was in a dilemma.

There is not even anyone who can give advice.

Only at this moment did she remember that whenever she encountered any problems in the past, it was her father and mother who helped her deal with them.

She just needs to be an obedient and sensible little princess!

My mother is gentle and virtuous, and she has won the favor of my father, so I am determined to train her to be a gentle and generous princess.

Only in this way can you grasp the heart of your future husband!

Zhaoyang sat in the room, lonely and speechless.

All her tears have dried, but she still couldn't wait for the man who said he would give her a lifetime of happiness to come back.

The food on the table had already gone cold. She only drank tea and didn't eat a single bite. In just three days, she had become extremely thin.

What should she do?

Should I continue to wait or report the missing person to the police?

If Xiao Lang returns tomorrow, will it affect Xiao Lang's plan if I rashly report to the police?

But if something happened to Xiao Lang...

Zhaoyang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

These past few days, she hadn't been able to eat or sleep well, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse. She even felt a little resentful in her heart.

If the prince of Xirong had not suddenly proposed to marry her, my father would not have wanted to marry her off to another country.

If they were still in the capital, how could she, as a princess, have fallen to such a state where no one is available to her today?

Tears fell and wet the clothes again.

Suddenly, in the long night, a scream was heard.

The cry was extremely mournful, as if the victim had suffered great harm. Zhaoyang was so frightened that he immediately stood up, put on his coat, and was about to go out.

A little maid who was responsible for taking care of her was newly hired after Xiao Yu arrived here. When she saw her master suddenly open the door, her drowsy expression was instantly awakened!

"Madam!" The little maid came forward eagerly.

Princess Zhaoyang looked worried as she looked towards the next door and said anxiously, "My...my wife seemed to hear a noise just now. Please send someone to check it out!"

"Yes!" The little maid received the order and hurried away.

The people responsible for guarding the house are new staff members hired by the business after Xiao Yu arrived here. To the outside world, he and Zhaoyang are just an ordinary couple.

Using local people as slaves would make it easier to hide from view.

The security guard received the order and ran to the gate of the next courtyard and knocked, but after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. He leaned over the door and listened carefully, and could still hear a man in the courtyard moaning softly.

The security guard didn't think anything of it and kicked the door open.

He saw that the courtyard was very clean, but there was no one there. He followed the direction of the sound, and then found a person who seemed to be seriously injured under the wall at the right corner.

Why are you so uncertain?

Mainly because it was now dark and the man was dressed in black.

Hidden in the darkness, you can only hear the voice but not see the person.

"Help, save me..." The man in black saw the security guard, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. He stretched out a hand and made a slight cry for help.

The guard took two steps back, not knowing how to react.

Princess Zhaoyang, who had been waiting for a long time without any response, had already walked over through the gate of the next courtyard with her maid.

It was already dark at this time. She held the lantern and walked slowly forward. Where the lantern light shone, there was a pool of splattered blood and a bloody man lying on the ground, bleeding all over from being stabbed by bamboo shoots.

Princess Zhaoyang had never seen such a tragic scene and she took a step back in shock!

The good news is that this person is not his Xiao Lang...

The bad news is that this person seems to be Xiao Lang's man.

Because when Princess Zhaoyang followed the maid, holding the lantern and approaching, she heard the last words of the man in black before he fainted: "Princess, I am the master's man... Please, save our master..."

The sound was faint, but it was like thunder in the ears.

Zhao Yang immediately shouted, "Where is Xiao Yu? Where is Xiao Yu?"

But the man in black had lost all consciousness.

"Don't die, tell me first, where is Xiao Yu?"
