Seeing that she was dressed gorgeously and her hair was full of pearls and jade, Sun Xiaohua was sure that she could make a lot of money.

He smiled gratefully at her and said, "Thank you, Boss."

Then her other destiny began.

Liu Huan knew nothing about this, and she didn't want to know at all.

She hasn't been there since the last time she saw the princess, who moved to her mansion.

She received the invitation and took the prepared things to go to the party. When she came back in the evening, she heard someone say, "You know, I heard that there has been another war on the border."

"Really?"

"No, my niece's uncle's distant relatives were running goods across the border. Now they are all coming back. I heard it's not safe anymore."

"Will the war reach the capital?"

The man said in an unhappy tone, "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? How could they possibly fight their way to the capital? At most, they would occupy the border cities and give them compensation."

Seeing that she was talking excitedly, someone beside her stopped her and said, "Stop talking now. If the soldiers hear you, you might get arrested."

Liu Huan originally wanted to stroll around the street, but he instantly lost interest after hearing these words.

Take Qiu Rong back in a carriage.

"Sister, is Shitou back?"

Su Wan came out and saw her anxious face and asked, "What happened?"

Liu Huan looked around, "Isn't he back yet?"

"No, Changbai came back and said that the prince of the prince's mansion invited him to come over. He will probably be back very late tonight. Don't worry if he doesn't come back."

Seeing her serious expression, Su Wan said, "Why are you looking for him? If there is something urgent, you can ask someone to take a message."

Liu Huan smiled and said, "It's okay, just asking."

She didn't dare to scare everyone by saying something that was not certain.

Sure enough, Su Yi did not come back that night. When he came back, he had a smile on his face, but it was not in his eyes.

Liu Huan carried something into the study, "Shi Tou, is there going to be another war?"

Su Yi forced a smile, "Don't think too much, it's okay."

"How can I not think too much? He is so young, and the sword has no eyes. I don't know if the amulet has been delivered."

Liu Huan's face was full of worry. Even though he was an ice-cooling device, he would still be defeated if he didn't have the strength.

Su Yi continued, "Don't worry. You don't know that Xiao Shi has learned a lot of skills from Master Guan Hong in the past few years. Ordinary people can't hurt him."

Liu Huan put aside his anxiety and nodded, "I understand, but you must tell me any news as soon as possible. I don't want to hear all the news from other people."

"I know. I won't hide it from you."

Su Yi knew that she and Xiao Shi had a good relationship, and they were close friends who loved each other, so it was impossible to hide it.

Liu Huan started looking at her account book as soon as she returned. When Guan Chang knew that he was coming back, he immediately gave her a copy of the account book of Chunhui Building and the chili pepper selling business.

The money is kept in Huitong Bank, and she can withdraw it whenever she wants with the token.

She looked at the number above and an idea came to her mind that she would only use it when she had no other choice.

In the following days, Liu Huan sent people to inquire about it all day long. Su Wan also learned about this from the embroidery building. She came back with a worried look on her face and said, "How is Xiao Shi? I heard that people are dying everywhere and the court has already started recruiting soldiers. It's really worrying."

Liu Huan shook his head, "I don't know either."

Liu Huan got the news from Su Yi that the palace had begun to be frugal and cut expenses, and all the savings were used to buy food and fodder and send them to the border for support.

A month after the officials who were escorting the grain and fodder had set out, the messenger came back at full speed with bad news.

All the food and fodder that was being transported was burned. It is not yet clear whether it was done by foreigners or by thieves in the court.

The emperor was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. The most important thing at the moment was the urgent need for food and fodder at the border. However, this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recommended this year's top two candidates in the imperial examination to be escorts.

With the unanimous approval of the court officials and the first case, everyone knew that this was a hot potato and no one wanted to take it.

When Su Yi said this, Su Wan was the first to disagree, "No, you can't go, what if something happens?"

Su Yi patiently explained, "Sister, it's not that I can't go just because I don't want to. It's the emperor's order. If you disobey the order, you will be beheaded."

Su Wan still couldn't accept it. She turned around and wiped her tears, "Why did you have to go? How did they find you among so many people?"

Su Yi didn’t know how to comfort people, so he looked at Liu Huan for help.

Liu Huan was holding back her anger, but she still suppressed her anger and explained, "Sister, the grain and grass escort officer is actually very safe. There are many officers and soldiers with him, so nothing will happen."

“But something happened in front.”

Moreover, the two escort officers died on the spot, and she didn't want to say anything unlucky at this juncture.

Liu Huan took her into the house and coaxed her for a long time before he calmed her down, then went out and went straight to the study.

Straight to the point: "I want to go too!"

His eyes were firm and would not tolerate rejection.

Su Yi was stunned. After a moment's silence, he said with a straight face, "Impossible. There is no room for negotiation. Don't even think about it."

Liu Huan continued, "Are you going to look for the little brother? I know you took on this job by yourself. I am also worried about the little brother. I want to go too."

"You're a weak woman, why are you going there? Don't cause trouble." This was the first time Su Yi was so angry when they met, and his voice was so loud that Guan Chang came to knock on the door.

"Talk it over nicely, don't quarrel."

Su Yi glared at her fiercely, and with a warning, he turned his head and said to the outside: "I know, brother-in-law, go to sleep."

After the people left, he lowered his voice and said, "Liu Huan, I tell you, I won't allow it, and I won't allow it. My Su family doesn't need you to worry about it."

Liu Huan didn't expect that he would say such decisive words in order to prevent her from going.

She was angry and said with her hands on her waist: "Su Yi, when did you do that? Now that you are an official, you want to drive me away, right? I am not a member of the Su family. I am not what you wanted me to do in the first place."

Her voice was so loud that it could be heard in Su Wan's yard. "Why are the two of them arguing? I'll go take a look."

Guan Chang held her back and said, "It's okay, let them solve it themselves."

Guan Yi, who was not afraid of making trouble, said, "My uncle said that my aunt is not a member of the Su family, and she wants to run away from home."

Su Wan was extremely worried, but Guan Chang still stopped her, "It's okay, you know Shi Tou's temper, he would never say such a thing, the brat just made it up."

Su Wan listened carefully and found that there was no quarrel, but there was a slamming sound from the door of Liu Huan's room, which showed that he was very angry.

As soon as Liu Huan entered the room, he put away the silver and money that he had prepared long ago, as well as two sets of men's clothes that he had prepared long ago.

And a dagger for self-defense.

A lot of silver bills were sewn inside men's clothes in case of emergency.

The emperor gave a tight time limit, requiring all food and supplies to be gathered and the troops to set out within five days. Su Yi was so busy that he only had time to come to Liu Huan's house on the last night.

Liu Huan was still angry, "What are you doing here, Su family member?"

Su Yi sighed and decided to have a good talk with her.
