Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Jingzhi and the other three stayed at the Hot Spring Resort until the afternoon before leaving.

When getting on the carriage, Prince Wenruo looked at Huo Junyao expectantly and asked, "Cousin, can I still come to your place to play in the future?"

"Of course, Your Highness can come anytime you want."

"But you can't just play, you also need to study hard."

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo happily nodded vigorously and said that he would study hard.

After sending Huo Jingzhi and others away, Huo Junyao returned to his small courtyard and asked Xiaochan to call Wangxia.

"I'm afraid the white sugar thing will spread in the near future. You have to pay close attention to it. This is a good publicity opportunity."

Wang Xia nodded repeatedly and said that he would teach everyone out as soon as possible.

Then there are the factory buildings, tools, and other people. The factory buildings are relatively simple. After all, this is ancient times and it is naturally impossible to have all kinds of sophisticated machinery like later generations.

And she now has a lot of people, so building a few big houses is really not a big deal.

"By the way, Xiaochan, how is the matter that I asked you to inquire about some time ago?"

"There's no news on this yet."

"Why are you looking for that stone nirvana? It's not a good thing. I heard it's also poisonous."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao smiled and said, "This is a good thing. As for poisonous things, others just don't know how to deal with it."

The stone nirvana in Xiaochan's mouth is the coal of Huo Junyao's later generations. Although in later generations, with the development of science and technology, many places where coal is often used have been replaced.

But it is undeniable that this is a good thing when technology is not developed.

Especially in ancient societies like the Yu Dynasty, coal was of even greater use.

The biggest point is heating. In the Yu Dynasty, there were no such things as cotton and quilts, so heating became a big problem. The upper class could also use animal furs.

But the people at the bottom will suffer a lot.

It can be said that many people die from cold every winter.

And if coal is used properly, it can give ordinary people a chance to survive.

In addition to heating, there is also the fact that the firepower and temperature of coal are much higher than that of firewood. She will use this thing for many of her subsequent items.

Naturally, before everyone has discovered this good thing, we must first find a way to get more of it under our name.

"You should ask people to pay close attention to this and try to find it as soon as possible."

Xiaochan responded repeatedly.

In the next few days, Huo Junyao was relatively free, and at the same time, news came back from Xiaochan.

The stone nirvana she needed was found about two to three hundred miles away from the capital.

With this discovery, Huo Junyao immediately became interested and took his people to investigate on the same day.

There was a huge motorcade, and this time she brought fifty guards with her.

Halfway through the road, when passing through a dense forest, arrows with bad feathers suddenly flew out of the forest rapidly.

"The enemy is attacking, protect the princess."

The guard leader immediately shouted, and the guards drew their weapons and stood ready.

In the carriage, the expressions of Huo Junyao and others changed. Hongxiu and Xiaochan immediately protected Huo Junyao behind them.

"What's going on? There's an enemy attack from there."

Xiaochan spoke in a panic. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the clanging sound of killing coming from outside.

"Xiaochan, please protect the young lady, I'll go outside and take a look." Hong Xiu turned to look at Xiaochan with a solemn expression.

"Be careful."

Huo Junyao was also a little confused at this time. What the hell is the enemy attack?

However, when Hongxiu opened the curtain, she saw through the curtain that her guards were fighting a pair of men in black outside. When the weapons collided, blood could be vaguely seen spattering.

"Who are you? Since you dare to attack the current princess."

The guard leader shouted loudly while fighting the man in black.

However, the man in black on the opposite side ignored him at all, and his attacks became more and more severe. Before long, more than ten of the fifty guards were injured or killed.

When Hong Xiu on the carriage shaft saw this scene, his face became more dignified.

As Huo Junyao's secret guard and maid, she would not leave the carriage to help in this situation.

After all, protecting Huo Junyao's safety is the most important thing. At this time, there was only Xiaochan, a girl who didn't understand martial arts, in the carriage. If she went to help and someone attacked the carriage, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Girl in Red Sleeves, these thieves are not weak. Please drive the princess back quickly and we will find a way to hold them back."

The guard leader also saw that these men in black were no ordinary people.

In such a short period of time, their side suffered a lot of casualties.

Although they were just people recruited by Huo Junyao from the private sector, after several months of training, their strength was not bad. At this time, they were a little unable to resist these thieves.

It is enough to show how powerful these men in black are.

"Then be careful."

Hongxiu didn't talk nonsense. She also saw that these men in black were extraordinary. Judging from their skills, these people's moves were all killing moves. As a secret guard, she knew that these people must have been raised by someone. Death warrior.

Appearing here at this time must be for her young lady.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and shouted into the carriage; "Xiaochan, protect the young lady and sit tight."

Xiao Chan in the carriage had just protected Huo Junyao when she heard the neighing of horses and the sound of whips breaking through the air from outside.

The next moment, the carriage began to shake violently.

"Chase, we can't let her run away."

When the men in black saw the carriage turning around, they immediately gave orders to their companions.

"If you want to pass, you have to pass our level first."

"Brothers, the princess has been so kind to us. Now these thieves want to assassinate the princess. It's time for our brothers to repay their kindness. If we stop them, the princess will not be harmed."

As soon as the guard leader spoke, the surrounding guards responded one after another.

None of them came from a good family, and food and clothing were not a problem. After becoming Huo Junyao's bodyguard, they were well-fed and well-dressed.

In particular, the princess was very kind to others. Not only did she never treat them badly, she even took the initiative to ask their family members if they would like to come over after the workshop was established.

Nowadays, many of their family members are working in Huo Junyao's workshop. They have no worries about food and drink, and they are paid wages. Their living standards are much better than before.

All of them were grateful to Huo Junyao from the bottom of their hearts. Huo Junyao was assassinated today. On the one hand, they wanted to repay their kindness with gratitude, but on the other hand, they did not want anything to happen to Huo Junyao.

After all, this is related to the good life of their whole family in the future. If something happens to Huo Junyao, first of all, the guards will be in big trouble, and secondly, those in the workshop will be in trouble.

Therefore, these people must be stopped, even if they are seriously injured or killed.

This is not only for Huo Junyao, but also for themselves and their families.

Judging from Huo Junyao's kind attitude in the past, they believed that even if she died in battle, she would never treat her family badly.
