After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Lu Ping and Lu An are not criminals, so they do not need to wear shackles like Lu Huaiyi and his son. In principle, they are not subject to the supervision of the guards, and they can even drive a carriage to follow them if they want.

But in order to make their master's life easier, they did not hesitate to choose to be humble in front of the government officials.

Moreover, their deep-rooted concept of respect and inferiority prevented them from doing the shocking act of their master walking on foot and them riding in a car, so they just followed General Lu and his son in a low-key manner, each carrying a small baggage on their back.

They silently shared four of the several backpacks that Yu Zizhen brought with them, leaving only the two light baskets containing clothes, shoes, boots, straw mats and raincoats, because of the strong request of Lu Huaiyi's eldest son Lu Mingzhe and second son Lu Mingheng , they were fixed on the two of them with straw ropes.

With Lu Ping and Lu An accompanying them to take care of them, the safety of Lu Huaiyi and his son was further guaranteed. However, to be cautious, Yu Zizhen finally quietly gave Lu Ping and Lu An each a sharp dagger with an extremely thin scabbard and a narrow blade.

She stuffed the things into their sleeves very quickly, "Be careful on the road, don't let General Lu and his son be assassinated."

Being able to climb to the position of the governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, Lu Huaiyi is naturally not a careless person. When he heard Yu Zizhen say this, he immediately thought of the words "cutting the grass and eradicating the root" and "never causing future troubles".

Lu Huaiyi was angry but helpless. He took a deep look at Yu Zizhen, who was like a young adult. "Anyone in the Lu family who is lucky enough to escape death will have to go through fire and water to repay the prince's great kindness."

Yu Zizhen smiled slightly, "The general and the two young masters must live well. After all, whether it is kindness or hatred, it only has meaning if people are alive, right?"

Lu Huaiyi also smiled. Although the injury on his face hurt when he smiled, he grinned, but the desire to live in his heart was stronger than ever at this moment.

After bidding farewell to Yu Zizhen, the father and son, accompanied by Lu Ping and Lu An, followed the government officials and left. Yu Zizhen watched them until no one could be seen anymore, and then asked the coachman to turn the carriage around and send her to the market.

On the way, she asked the accompanying guards to buy some freshly baked cakes, soy milk, etc., and then together with Yao Guang and Yu Heng, they simply ate some to fill their stomachs on the carriage.

"You guys wait here, Yu Heng and Yao Guang will accompany me in." When he arrived outside the main entrance of the city, Yu Zizhen got off the carriage and stopped the guards from following.

The guards were not at ease. Feng Yuan stood up and expressed his opinion on behalf of everyone, "Your Majesty, there is a mixed crowd in the world. It is too risky for you to only take Yu Heng and Yao Guang with you."

Seeing his unwillingness to give in, Yu Zizhen couldn't help but frowned with a headache.

The two faced off silently for a moment, and finally Yu Zizhen was defeated angrily because he had to rush for time. She said, "It's not impossible for me to take you with me, but you have to not interfere with any decisions I make."

Although the chance is very small, if someone from the Lu family is also a very important person, and they dare to confront her if they can't protect everything, then she will definitely offend the Lu family and hurt her own treasury.

In this case, the guards around her are likely to stand up and express disapproval when she goes "crazy".

Yu Zizhen didn't want to waste words with them and delay her important business, so she decided to negotiate the rules with Feng Yuan and others in advance.

Feng Yuan is not stupid. Yu Zizhen first wanted to get rid of them, and now she negotiated conditions with them in advance. It was obvious that they would most likely disapprove of what she was going to do next, and would take the initiative to speak out regardless of the difference between master and servant.

He didn't want to agree to Yu Zizhen's conditions, but Yu Zizhen crossed his arms and said directly, "If you can't do it, don't follow. This is an order."

As soon as the word "order" came out of his mouth, even if Feng Yuan had thousands of words, it would be hard for him to exhort him at this time.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons of following or not, and finally decided to go in together.

Although even following them couldn't stop Yu Zizhen from doing something they didn't agree with, at least they could protect Yu Zizhen when she was in danger.After all, this is their job, isn't it?
After understanding this, Feng Yuan immediately agreed to Yu Zizhen's prerequisite for taking them in.

The group of people left the coachman behind to guard the carriage, while the others surrounded Yu Zizhen and entered the market.

The human market is not an open area like a market, but a collection of small courtyards, forming concentric circles from the inside to the outside around the high platform in the middle where official slaves are auctioned.

Yu Zizhen and the others walked in from the outermost circle and walked for about two quarters of an hour before they finally reached the high platform where official slaves were auctioned.

Along the way, Yu Zizhen and the others attracted almost everyone's attention.

The child seems to be from a wealthy family. How could such a person come to a place like this in person?
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to open their mouths without authorization. They just stepped aside in a tacit understanding and gave priority to the road to Yu Zizhen and others.

Yu Zizhen nodded and thanked him, then strode straight to the stepped seats near the high platform.

They arrived neither too early nor too late, and most of the stepped seats around the high platform were already filled with people waiting for the auction to begin.

Yu Zizhen only came to buy the women and children of the Lu family, and he didn't necessarily want to grab the best seat, so he found a corner seat that was big enough for them all.

Less than two-quarters of an hour after she sat down, Guan Ya, who was in charge of the auction, finally brought the official slave to be auctioned today onto the high platform.

Yu Zizhen turned his head and looked at the little girl Yuheng, "You come and bid, follow the routine I just told you on the carriage."

What did she tell Yu Heng?

First, every time the bid is called out, "Zhenbei Wangfu bids xx".That's right, she just wants to use her power to overwhelm others.

Second, every time they increase the price, they follow the minimum standard set by the Yaren. For example, if the Yaren stipulate that the price should be increased by at least ten cents each time, then they will increase the price by ten cents each time.

Third, all Lu Huaiyi’s relatives bought as much as possible.

Of course, if someone maliciously raises the price, insists on making things difficult for her, and prevents her from buying people, then she will not just keep raising the price stupidly.

After all, instead of hitting people with money and being the wronged person, it was better to hit them with fists and make the person scream and scream, which made her feel more comfortable.

Yu Zizhen said that he was very good at convincing people with reason (power).

Yu Heng, who had already kept Yu Zizhen's request in mind, nodded obediently, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates have already kept all your requests in mind."

Yu Zizhen was very satisfied, "When you finish buying, I will take you to listen to books."

Forgive her for being picky, who made her poor. (End of chapter)
