In the yard, Boss Liu and others, who were supposed to be selling vegetables in the city, were lying on the ground in a row, their faces full of pain, and they made several moans from time to time. Several of them had blood on their heads and bandaged them randomly with cloth strips, which looked even more embarrassed. Women and children from all families gathered here, wiping their tears secretly.

"Uncle Liu, what's going on?" Li Xiu trotted into the yard and immediately came to Boss Liu and squatted down. Just now, Su Niang ran to call him crying, but couldn't tell what happened. She only said that Boss Liu and others were injured, which made Li Xiu very anxious. She ran over before she even put on her clothes.

Among these people, Boss Liu was the worst injured. Not only did he bleed on his head, but his cheeks were swollen high, and there were obvious palm prints on it. It was obviously beaten, which made Li Xiu angry. However, he had been a human being for two lifetimes and could control his emotions. The most important thing now is to figure out the matter and then make plans.

"Master, the trouble has come. Someone has taken a fancy to our bean sprouts!" Boss Liu said with a look of grief and anger at this time. He didn't take it seriously when he was beaten. The key is that he saw Zhuangzi just had a little success, but now someone is trying to take their life. This is what makes him feel sad and angry.

Li Xiu was also shocked when he heard this. The thing he was most worried about finally happened. Before, he didn't expect that the small bean sprout would bring him several cents of income every day. This was because of insufficient productivity and the supply could not be increased. Otherwise, he would definitely earn more. With such a large profit, he had always worried that people would have a greed. After all, no matter what era, there was a scumbag who relied on power or violence to seize power, and now he finally met it.

"What the hell is going on? Who is the other party? Uncle Liu, tell me in detail!" Li Xiu asked again after a moment of silence, his voice also had a bit of depression anger. He originally wanted to be a small landlord who was indifferent to the world, but why did someone take the initiative to provoke him?

Now Boss Liu talked about the story. The whole process was actually very simple and old-fashioned. They got up before dawn every day, pushed the bean sprouts out of the Chang'an city gate. After the city gate opened, they entered the vegetable market to sell the bean sprouts. However, before they entered the city, they were stopped by a group of people on the way not far from the city gate and asked them how to produce bean sprouts.

Speaking of which, since the bean sprouts were launched and brought huge profits to Li Xiu and others, many people have privately studied how to produce bean sprouts, and some people even successfully made the beans grow into bean sprouts. However, they could only spread the beans flat in a container to sprout. If they wanted to sprout more bean sprouts, they needed a lot of space, which was not practical at all. But when they piled the beans together to sprout, they found that the beans would rot quickly. The key is that they did not master the trick of watering and cooling. This trick is not worth a penny for those who know it, but for those who don’t know it, it takes a long time to explore.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the technology of bean sprouting was still monopolized by the people of Lijiazhuang in a short period of time, which is also the reason why Liu was stopped by that group of people. Liu and his friends had just tasted the sweetness of the bean sprouting business, and they all regarded the technology of bean sprouting as their hearts. Faced with the group of people's questions, they naturally refused to say it. As a result, these people's forced questions were not established, and they did not have any concerns at all. Liu and the others were all honest farmers, so they naturally suffered a great loss. Moreover, these people took action ruthlessly, and even the twelve or three-year-old boy was beaten.

Li Xiu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, and he wanted to hold a knife to fight for the people who hit people. However, in the end, reason prevailed and suppressed his anger and said, "Uncle Liu, how did you come back? Have those other people told you their identities?"

"Those people didn't say their identity, but judging from their appearance, they should be slaves from some powerful people in the city. I still have this vision." Boss Liu said with great certainty. After saying that, he paused and said again, "They originally said they wanted to break my legs, but later I had an idea and shouted that we were tenants of the princess's family. This made them a little afraid and dared not do too much, so we took the opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, the bean sprouts were not pushed back today."

"Princess? What princess?" Li Xiu suddenly asked in surprise when he heard what Boss Liu said later. He couldn't figure out why Boss Liu suddenly pulled out a princess?

"It's the princess, why did you forget that you are almost all around us. If we weren't from the locals, we would probably think that our farm is also a princess's tenant!" Boss Liu said again. Although his face was full of injuries, he couldn't help but feel a little proud when it came to lying that he was a princess' tenant. It was his inspiration that allowed them to get out easily, otherwise one leg would not be able to be saved.

"Which princess is it?" Li Xiu asked again, and at the same time he was a little helpless. Boss Liu was only proud, but he did not answer his question just now.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Boss Liu and others were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and then said, "Master, why have you forgotten? The princess is naturally the famous third lady. Only her name can scare those people away."

"Three Lady?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard the name. He felt very familiar. Then he exclaimed with a sudden expression and said, "Teacher of Women, you are talking about Princess Pingyang!"

"Yes! The title of the third lady seems to be Princess Pingyang!" Boss Liu nodded immediately. They were usually used to calling Princess Pingyang the third lady, but they rarely mentioned her title.

"I'm going, I didn't expect that I would have such an awesome neighbor!" Li Xiu was so shocked that he even sweared. If there were people who admired him in the early Tang Dynasty, Princess Pingyang was definitely one. When her father and brother rebelled, but she was trapped in the enemy's territory, this seemingly weak woman actually brought up tens of thousands of troops in just a few months with her own strength and built a vast land in the heart of the enemy. When Li Yuan and his son crossed the Yellow River and entered Guanzhong, they found that their daughter had prepared such a big gift for him. It was estimated that Li Yuan also felt like a pie fell from the sky at that time.

However, compared with Princess Pingyang's legendary military achievements, what Li Xiu was most interested in was her subsequent experiences, because according to the records in official history, in addition to the records of Princess Pingyang when attacking Chang'an, there were very few records of Princess Pingyang afterwards. She only said that she once led troops to guard Niangzi Pass, and the name of Niangzi Pass also came from her, and then suddenly died in the sixth year of Wude.

Although the age of the princess when she died was not recorded in the official history, according to the age of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Princess Pingyang was only in her twenties at most, so many people think that Princess Pingyang might have died of battle, but some people think that she died of illness. There are other legends, and there are many different opinions and no one has any evidence, which also covers Princess Pingyang with a huge mystery.

"Six years of martial arts, that's next year!" Li Xiu suddenly thought of the deadline for Princess Pingyang's death, and couldn't help but say to himself, and then showed a regretful look and said, "What a pity!"

"Master, it's a pity that the Third Lady was not in Chang'an. Otherwise, we could go to her to complain about the injustice. The Third Lady is righteous and hates the powerful and oppressing the people the most. She will definitely help us to uphold justice!" At this time, Boss Liu also said with a pity that Princess Pingyang established the Detachment of Women's Army at the beginning of the uprising, and the women's army was strictly disciplined and did not violate the people under her rule. This also made her very famous among the people. Even after being named a princess, the people would rather call her "Three Lady" or "Li Lady".

Hearing the words from Liu Lao Da, Li Xiu suddenly felt aroused in his heart. He thought of something and asked Liu Lao Da again: "Uncle Liu, do you know that there is a middle-aged man named Ma next to the Huangqu who fishes by the river every day. What does that person have to do with the princess?"

"Master, you are talking about Ma Master. That Ma Master is amazing. Although he is a slave to the princess on the surface, he is actually a general in the court. Even His Majesty praised him very much. It is just that his temper is a bit strange, and it is difficult for ordinary people to talk to him." Boss Liu replied without thinking when he heard Li Xiu's description.

"A domestic slave? He is actually a general?" Li Xiu couldn't help but feel the urge to clean his ears when he heard this, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Are these two identities contradictory to each other? Since he is a general, how could he be a domestic slave?

"That's right, I heard that Ma Master followed the princess as a house slave when he was very young. Later, the princess raised an army and Ma Master made a lot of contributions. He was named a general by the court. The princess had long since resigned from him, but he still regarded himself as a slave in the princess's mansion and usually lived in the princess's mansion to take care of the princess's mansion, so I said that he had a strange temper." When Boss Liu said it at the end, his voice became very low, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.
