After selling the animals they caught, Xiang Zihao and Li Huian felt a cold gaze staring at them. Xiang Zihao pulled Li Huian closer to him and look around. He saw a man in a white robe staring at them from the second-floor balcony of the tea house.

"What's wrong Zihao?" Li Huian also looked at the balcony of the tea house. Looking at the person beside him, Xiang Zihao smiled faintly "It is easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general."

"En" Li Huian looked at Xiang Zihao worriedly while walking up the stairs of the tea house. When the couple arrived, they bowed and sat in front of the man "How can I help you sir?" Xiang Zihao asked the man who took a sipped of his tea.

This Man is the Supreme General of the Qian Empire, Qin Zhang Wei. He is known as cold, vicious, and cruel man. At the age of fifteen, Qin Zhang Wei went to wars and lead his army to victory with minimal casualties.

Qin Zhang Wei's expression became cold "The snakes began crawling out of their hole", Xiang Zihao stiffened and sigh "Huian why don't you look around, just don't go too far". Li Huian left the two men alone and they began to talk. Qin Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes "I want you to find someone and investigate their disappearance. "

The next morning, Lu Ying Yue's embroidered handkerchief was done, so they decided that they will go to town. After a while, they arrive at the town. "Let's go to the embroidery house first, then let's look around if we need anything" Lu Ying Yue walked to the embroidery house.

Lu Ying Yue embroidered twenty pieces of handkerchief. "Ying Yue you're finally here. Come let me see" the owner of the embroidery house saw Lu Ying Yue and her smile widen. The handkerchief Lu Ying Yue embroidered before was good and have an incredible detailed needlework, so she gave Lu Ying Yue a price that she deserves.

"Aunt Ming, I brought twenty pieces this time, that is why I only came today. This is my younger brother Lu Hu An and younger sister Lu Zhi Yan" The younger siblings bowed. "These children are truly blessed with beauty and attitude" Lu Ying Yue took out the embroidered handkerchiefs.

"Ying Yue these handkerchiefs are beautiful, Aunt will give you 15 silvers for each handkerchief. I also have an idea why don't you include pillow cases next time?"

"Alright, I'll also buy these threads" Once Aunt Ming heard her, she gave the silvers to Lu Ying Yue and bid farewell.

After they left the embroidery house, they bought pork feet, marinated meat, white rice, and noodles, Lu Zhi Yan beamed when she saw a man selling Tanghulu a candy hawthorn stick, Lu Hu An glanced at her and shook his head before approaching the man.

"Uncle, I'll buy two candies" Lu Hu An paid the man and walked and gave one to Lu Zhi Yan. "Xiao Yan you can eat only the candy after we have our lunch" Lu Zhi Yan nodded her head. Soon they found a restaurant, they sat down and a waiter soon served them. After having their lunch and buying everything they need, they went home riding the horse cart.
