At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxin looked at the people who were building the tower. She was always uneasy as long as the tower was not completed. This time she wore a curtain and a mask, mainly to prevent dust from the construction site. It was spring and the temperature difference between day and night was large, so she had to prevent colds.

She also asked many workers to wear masks while working, and asked the villagers to make some ginger tea and send it to the construction site in the morning and evening. The nine towers are not very high now, but she has arranged 10,000 people from Kangzhuang Town to come here. They are masters of building fortifications. Now the nine towers have been built more than half, distributed on both sides of the official road in a nine-cornered shape.

"Princess, the magic weapons that we will use as the core of the formation for these nine towers have been buried and we can now activate the formation." Qionglou said.

"Qiong Lou, you did a good job!" How about we activate the formation at night.

"Okay! Xin'er, I'm going to work overnight like you these days." Yu Tinghai came over with a group of yamen runners to help.

"Dad, why don't you recruit more people to work here during the day, and then at night we will let the brothers from Huyue Village and the men and runners left by my grandfather work together." Yu Yunxin said.

"Good brothers, let's rest in the workshop here and light the lamps and run out of oil at night." Upon hearing this, the yamen runners on the side immediately took the people from Huyue Village and the guards to the rest house in Cuizhu Village.

"Qionglou also hopes that you can go to the back mountain of Kangzhuang Town and get more white candles and bronze mirrors. The more the better." Yu Yunxin said.

"Princess, what do you want the bronze mirror for?" Qionglou asked.

"You'll know at night," Yu Yunxin said, keeping the secret.

"Okay, let's prepare now." After saying this, Qionglou drove away with Haiwang.

"Princess, we have to stay up late tonight!" Qiu Shuang said a little disappointedly.

"Qiushuang, smile. We need to make a special tool tonight. Let's go to Cuizhu Village to find He Yanqin and ask them to make more bamboo lanterns." After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she brought a few people to He Yanqin's bamboo house, found He Yanqin, and asked him to stop the work in his hands first.

"Princess, what do you want so many bamboo lanterns for?" He Yanqin asked curiously.

"We need more bamboo lanterns because we have to work overnight," Yu Yunxin replied.

"Princess, let us help together!" Xuan Zi said as she walked over with a few sisters.

"Okay, let's make lanterns together." Yu Yunxin said as she started making lanterns.

Nowadays, if there is no glass, it is made of a layer of gauze or thin paper. Although it is simple in oval shape, it is still difficult for Yun Xin to complete one. Chunyu, who was sitting next to her, helped with several steps.

"Princess, please leave these rough work to us!" Chunyu said to Yu Yunxin, who was sitting aside fiddling with a lantern for a long time but had not made one yet.

Indeed, there were so many people that she didn't need to make things worse. Seeing the people making lanterns inside and outside the house, she felt relieved that nine towers would be enough for tonight. Looking at Qiu Shuang who was not very experienced, she said, "Qiu Shuang, leave this to He Yanqin and Chun Yu. You and I will go to the tower to take a look."

When Qiu Shuang heard this, she immediately put down the bamboo stick in her hand and came behind Yu Yunxin. As if she had freed her hands, she quickly came to Yu Yunxin's side and said, "Princess, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, Princess!" He Yanqin saw Yu Yunxin was about to leave and immediately stopped her: "I have finished the umbrella that Princess asked me to make a few days ago. I will bring it to you right away."

After He Yanqin finished speaking, he immediately walked into the inner room and took out a peculiar umbrella and handed it to Yu Yunxin. Yu Yunxin took it and found it was very light.

"There is a mechanism on the handle of the princess's umbrella. You can put a silver needle in it and try it out." He Yanqin said as he gave Yu Yunxin a few demonstrations.

He Yanqin pressed the mechanism and the blades on the twelve ribs of the umbrella popped out and could be shot out again. Even the silver needles on the ribs could be popped out by pressing them three times, one needle popped out with each press. It was very convenient that as many times as you press, several needles would pop out.

"Princess, if there's anything wrong, I can improve it." He Yanqin said.

"Thank you, Uncle He. I'll try it later." After thanking He Yanqin, Yu Yunxin went out with an umbrella.

After arriving at the open space, I put the two swords into the umbrella handle. They just fit in and were very convenient to use.

"The princess's He Yanqin is really powerful. Princess, if we can let the sisters of Yanyu Manor create a new set of skills, no one will dare to bully the sisters of Yanyu Manor." Qiu Shuang said. It was also the last time she came back that Yanluo talked about the affairs of Yanyu Manor on the way.

Yu Yunxin thought that having more sets of martial arts would indeed prevent the many sisters in Yanyu Manor from being bullied, and would also further consolidate Yanyu Manor's position in the martial arts world.

Okay, I'll think of a few moves that can be used by people who don't know Kung Fu. Hidden weapons are the easiest for women, but she doesn't know how to use them. However, He Yanqin knows how to do it. For example, the umbrella in her hand has flying knives and silver needles.

Suddenly, the little wolf came out, holding an exquisite hairpin with purple crystal in his hand. Crystal was very precious in this era. She took the hairpin from the little wolf and looked up to see a figure on the tree ten meters away. Today, the Lord of the Underworld was wearing a purple robe and a wolf mask, revealing a cunning look.

Last time it was fruit, why this time it was a hairpin with flowers, and such an expensive hairpin with flowers and step-shake at that.

"This hairpin is so beautiful, Princess. Let me put it on you!" Qiu Shuang said when she saw Yu Yunxin holding the hairpin from the little wolf's hand.

Yu Yunxin directly put the hairpin into her arms and handed the umbrella in her hand to Qiu Shuang, saying, "Wait for me here, and get used to using this umbrella. I'll come over later."

After saying that, he walked towards the woods. When he arrived at the woods, he looked at the masked man on the tree and asked, "Why are you so elusive? What's the matter?"

The purple-robed man jumped down from the tree and landed directly in front of Yu Yunxin and said, "What's wrong? Can't I come to see you?"

"I'll give it back to you! I don't like it." Yu Yunxin shook the hairpin cloth in her hand and threw it directly to the Lord of the Underworld.

"If you don't like it, doesn't it look good? Then I'll change it for something else." The Lord of the Underworld said and wanted to take out something else to give to Yu Yunxin.

"Princess, do you not like this hairpin with flowers? Or..." the Lord of the Underworld asked with some surprise.

"You and I are not friends. It's enough that I have accepted so many fruit trees from you. As for jewelry, I don't like it, especially the ones you gave me." Yu Yunxin said.

"It seems that the princess has something against me?" The Lord of the Underworld asked, looking at Yu Yunxin's face under the veil.

"No! The fireworks from last time are enough. You can take these back. And if the fruit trees can grow fruits this year, I will also leave you some fruit wine and the money I earn. It will be regarded as the Lord of the Underworld investing in my orchard." Yu Yunxin said.

"We have brought the princess' bronze mirror and white wax." Yunshan shouted when he saw Yu Yunxin's back outside the woods.

"My people are coming, why don't you leave?" Yu Yunxin said and walked straight out of the woods without looking back.

A man whose true face she has never seen, and the Lord of the Underworld of Shura Sect. She is now also the owner of a martial arts sect, and she cannot have anything to do with him.

The Lord of Hell hid in a dense tree, looked at Yu Yunxin's back, took out the hairpin and said with a smile: "Very interesting."

"Princess, what do you want so many white wax and bronze mirrors for?" Qionglou asked curiously.

"By the way, it's still early before dark. Think of some good moves using umbrellas. I want all the sisters in Yanyu Manor to learn a simple set of hidden weapon skills!" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Princess, do you want to create a new martial art?" Yanluo asked Qiu Shuang behind her.

"Yes, I want the sisters in Yanyu Manor to not only have the ability to survive, but also the ability to defend themselves." Yu Yunxin said as she took the umbrella from Qiu Shuang's hand.

He first drew out his two swords, then demonstrated the mechanism inside the umbrella and said, "Yanluo, your close combat skills are pretty good. How about I try my skills with you?"

“Princess, our martial arts have all improved during this period. I’m afraid that there are many hidden weapons in your umbrella…” Yanluo didn’t finish her words.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Then the five of you can come together and compete."

Qiu Shuang stood up immediately after hearing this. Yu Yunxin saw that she didn't have a sword in her hand and said, "Yanluo, give Qiu Shuang a sword, and you should use your best skills to fight, don't hold back."

"Then we won't be polite." Yanluo said and rushed towards her first. Yu Yunxin didn't draw her sword but used her umbrella to block the attack. She looked at Qiu Shuang and the other three and said, "You guys come too."

After that, the five men attacked Yu Yunxin from different directions. Yu Yunxin used her umbrella to dodge like dancing, bending down to avoid the attacks of the five men several times. Instead, the hidden weapon in the umbrella shot out, forcing everyone to dodge a few steps.

The Hades Lord on the tree couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "Silly woman, your movements are a bit fancy, and some of your moves are too soft. This umbrella is good, but it's made of bamboo. If you encounter heavy weapons, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand a few moves. If it's a steel umbrella, it's different."

"Princess, this umbrella is really powerful. You haven't drawn your sword yet!" Qionglou stopped and said.

"It's just a sword fight." Yu Yunxin also stopped the umbrella in her hand and closed it and said, "We all held back, so we can't test it this way. It's getting late, let's go back to Cuizhu Village!"

Yu Yunxin and her group from Cuizhu Village had dinner in the makeshift kitchen of the paper-making workshop, and watched Qiong Lou and Xuan Zi tell fortunes.

The two held bamboo sticks and were fine at first, but later their faces turned bad and they said, "Three long and two short, bloody omen."

"Princess, let's not stay here tonight." Qionglou said as he looked at the image of himself and Xuan Zi.

Yu Yunxin looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, let's take the lanterns and go!"

As soon as they left the village, a group of more than two hundred people came, led by Jin Chen.

"Princess Boss Yang asked us to come here to help repair the tower." Jin Chen said when he saw Yu Yunxin.

"Don't you have to do your own work?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"My lord, the wine from the winery has been shipped to Jiangnan and Yuezhou these days. We are now free and we thought we might as well come and help." Jin Chen replied, "By the way, I also brought two carts of the bronze mirror you asked Qionglou to find. I wonder if it is enough?"

"Enough, Jin Chen, bring more than sixty brothers with me to the first tower. I will teach you how to use lighting." Yu Yunxin said as she asked everyone to bring bronze mirrors and lanterns and come to the first tower. They lit the lights and adjusted the bronze mirrors.

Soon Yu Yunxin used the principle of light reflection to illuminate the tower exceptionally brightly.

"Princess, it turns out that the bronze mirror has this function. Not to mention that it makes the construction site much brighter without delaying any work." Qionglou was very satisfied when he saw the refraction array set up by Yu Yunxin.

"Do you understand? Go to other towers and follow my method." Yu Yunxin said to Jin Chen and the others.

Jin Chen understood immediately and said, "Princess, I understand." After that, he immediately asked everyone to take lanterns and bronze mirrors to the other eight towers.

Soon, all eight towers lit up. Looking at the lights reaching the sky, Yu Yunxin felt much more at peace.

"Princess, the lights are much brighter now, let's go back!" Qiu Shuang said as she looked at the darkening sky.

"Princess, don't worry about this! I'll watch you return!" Jin Chen also said from the side.

"No, Haiwang, please drive the carriage over here. I will live in the carriage." Yu Yunxin said.

"Princess, there will be rain and morning dew in the spring night, so you should go back first!" Qiu Shuang continued.

Xin'er, you should go back! I'm here, everything will be fine, Yu Tinghai came over from nowhere and said to Yu Yunxin.

"Sir, you should go back too." said Captain Li on the side.

"Today is the first night of work at the tower. I'm worried about you, so you'd better stay!" Yu Tinghai said seriously.

"Xin'er, this is refracted light. I didn't expect you to make it so bright." Yu Tinghai said approvingly after taking a look at the refracted light.

"Yes! The princess is really smart." Captain Li praised.

"Dad, how about I go over there and build a fire to cook some vegetable porridge and barbecue for everyone?" There was no way Yu Yunxin would go back now. She finally found a reason to stay.

"Okay! We still need to eat enough to have the energy to work at night. Captain Li, go to Chayuan Village and bring some chickens, rabbits and sheep." Yu Tinghai saw that it was still a bit cold at night. He asked Qiu Shuang to get some long coats for Yu Yunxin to wear.

A bonfire was built on the other side of the tower, waiting for Captain Li and several yamen runners to bring the chickens, rabbits and sheep from Chayuan Village.

Yunshan and a few others went to the nearby river to fetch some water so that they could prepare for slaughtering.

But Qiu Shuang also invited Old Lady Lin, Cheng and three cousins-in-law. They not only brought clothes and bedding, but also various seasonings. Are they here for a picnic?

"Mother-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law, you are here too." When Yu Tinghai saw Old Lady Lin, he immediately went up to her and asked.

"How could I not come? You went to Chayuan Village to catch sheep and woke us up. Fortunately, our Xin'er has raised a lot of sheep. Xin'er's sheep don't produce much wool, so just kill them!" Old Lady Lin said, pointing at the sheep on the ground.

Several yamen runners picked up knives and were about to kill Yu Yunxin when they said, "Leave the sheep's blood and offal. I'll make you some mutton soup and stir-fried sheep's blood with chives."

"I've tasted the princess' mutton soup in the night market town and it was so delicious, but my wife didn't cook it well once." said a yamen runner.

"If everyone can do it, then why open a night market town!" Captain Li patted the yamen runner on the shoulder and said, "Just do as the princess ordered. There are clean buckets on the carriage over there. You guys can't kill them one by one in a hurry."

When everyone heard this, they started to help, and some began to kill chickens and ducks.

"Leave the chicken blood, duck blood and the internal organs as well! The duck blood rice noodles I had in the night market town were delicious." said another captain.

"There are so many people here, we can help clean it together." Yanluo looked at everyone and brought a basin of hot water to start cleaning various internal organs.
