Chapter 234 Thank you, Princess
As they said this, the three of them were about to kneel down again.
Mu Ruixi was startled and quickly stopped the three old men, but all three were stopped. As for the civilians, they ignored them.
The rest of the people also knelt down. This time, their movements were much more dramatic. Men and women, old and young, all knelt in front of Mu Ruixi.
"Thank you, Princess."
"grateful……".
……
When Mu Ruixi saw so many people kneeling in front of her, she was moved and touched.
"Villagers, stand up straight. I have something to say to you." Mu Ruixi said as she helped the three old men up.
When the three elders saw Dao Mu Ruixi was about to speak, they helped her up and turned to the villagers who were kneeling on the ground and shouted, "Madam, we will get up now. What's the matter?"
The prestige of these three elders was still very high. When they called out, everyone stood up.
Mu Ruixi's face darkened and she laughed dryly twice.
You know, she was almost screaming her throat out, but no one around her stood up.
Mu Ruixi looked at the expectant eyes of a group of eight-stars and knew that she had succeeded.
"I am traveling to the South this time in compliance with the Emperor's order. The South has been suffering from a severe drought for three years, and the people are struggling to survive. His Majesty has ordered His Highness the Eighth Prince to provide relief."
She paused, then continued, "Not only in the south, but also in the western border. The Eighth Prince was extremely busy, so he sent us to the southern border to handle some matters. The Eighth Prince specifically suggested to the emperor that taxes in the south be reduced for three years and that the granaries be opened!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu responded.
After hearing Mu Ruixi's words, the people in southern Xinjiang cheered again.
The three elderly people standing in front of her were so moved that their eyes were filled with tears.
"Are you serious?" an old man said tremblingly.
Mu Ruixi nodded, turned around and said to Shi'an behind her: "It is absolutely true, this is the will."
Shi'an quickly read out the decree in his hand.
When the decree was read out, everyone was excited again. They all bowed to the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Eighth Prince, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mu Ruixi and the others lived up to expectations and quickly had people open all the food in the warehouse.
Every household had sufficient food, and then nearly 500,000 taels of silver were extorted from those who embezzled and accepted bribes.
It is conceivable how greedy those corrupt officials are and how much money they have plundered from the people.
Mu Ruixi and the others would naturally distribute the dirty silver to the civilians, as a way of returning their money.
For the next half month, Mu Ruixi and her team distributed food, assisted the refugees in southern Xinjiang in opening up new lands, and rebuilt trade.
However, this action also greatly increased Lin Muwen's reputation in southern Xinjiang.
The emperor falsely spread the news of war in southern Xinjiang and praised Lin Muwen and others greatly in the court.
Just when Mu Ruixi and his friends were reaping great rewards in southern Xinjiang, Lin Muwen was also doing well in western Xinjiang.
That night, Mu Ruixi and her friends held a small celebratory dinner to celebrate.
Just then, the sound of fighting was heard outside.
"What happened?" Mu Ruixi and the others immediately got up from their chairs and looked outside.
However, at this moment, two shadows appeared beside Shi'an and Gao Ting and whispered something to them.
Shi'an and Gao Ting both frowned slightly.
"What's going on?" Zhang Shuhe asked anxiously.
Gao Ting frowned and said, "A large number of men in black attacked the post station. The entire station was surrounded. It was impossible for the news to leak out."
Mu Ruixi and Zhang Shuhe looked at each other, both with serious expressions.
"What's going on?" Mu Ruixi looked at Shi'an.
In the distance, the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the guards in the post station were about to collapse.
Zhang Shuhe looked out the window and saw a sea of fire. "Could it be that someone has rebelled?"
"How is that possible?" Shi'an and Mu Ruixi nodded repeatedly.
Mu Ruixi looked outside the door and said slowly, "It seems that Gu Yiming must have made a killing, which is why he brought so many fearless people into the post station."
Mu Ruixi's words startled everyone. Shi'an nodded slightly, "Indeed, to be able to train so many assassins is definitely not an ordinary person."
"What are death squads?" Zhang Shuhe asked in confusion.
At this moment, Shi'an spoke up: "To become a warrior, one must be loyal enough, and they need enough potions. First, their loyalty cannot be built overnight. Second, those potions are also very valuable. For more than a hundred warriors, this is not a small amount of money."
"These assassins have no sense of pain at all. The only way to keep them alive is to chop off their heads and sever their limbs."
Zhang Shuhe and Gao Ting's expressions became much more serious as they listened to Shi'an's serious explanation.
Such a powerful opponent is the most terrifying. No wonder even the elite guards on the periphery cannot compete with him.
But now it seems obvious that the person behind this is Prince Gu Yiming.
Judging from the current situation, Gu Yiming is determined to kill them. If he doesn't eliminate them, Gu Yiming will probably not be able to sleep.
Before long, the guards outside could no longer hold on, and a large number of men in black robes rushed towards the second floor.
Mu Ruixi and others lived in the backyard next to Ertang, and several secret guards around them also came forward.
"What should we do?" Zhang Shuhe looked at Mu Ruixi with an anxious look on his face.
"Cold dish!" Mu Ruixi spat and said unhappily.
At this point, they have no other choice but to fight to the death.
There was a loud "bang!"
"Crash~" a huge sound was heard.
Everything in the hall was smashed to pieces by the men in black.
Mu Ruixi and her guards fought and retreated, and finally met up with Mu Ruixi and the others in the backyard.
Behind them was a group of soldiers in black uniforms, surrounding the entire backyard.
When Mu Ruixi and the others saw the three or four hundred soldiers in black uniforms, their faces became more and more ugly, and their hearts became more and more desperate.
The enemy obviously had a lot of people, and all of them were masters. Looking at the walls around him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.
"Fight!" Bai Xiaochun shouted.
Mu Ruixi drew the purple smoke sword from her waist and pointed it at the black-robed men. Shi An and the others knew that they were in a desperate situation and that they had no choice but to fight.
Everyone rushed towards the men in black robes with all their might; they had no room to retreat.
The other secret guards and bodyguards also took action, exerting their strength to the utmost.
