Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 36 The Stupid Third Prince

Su Yuelai began to categorize the items she had collected from the county government office using her mental power.

There were gold and silver jewelry, large quantities of grain, cloth, and many books...

After sorting them all, only a pile of letters remained on the floor. Su Yue randomly opened one.

The contents were all encrypted, and Su Yue could only see question marks and useless nonsense.

She opened all the letters and read them, and learned some things from them.

No wonder there hasn't been any relief grain after such a long drought; it turns out it's all been embezzled by the magistrate of Qingshi Town.

Moreover, the letter mentioned a member of the royal family, the second prince.

She seemed to have learned something from these letters: the magistrates of Ping'an Town and Qingshi Town both seemed to be working for this third prince.

It seems that the Third Prince is colluding with the Xiongnu, and the weapons in the valley are all made for the Third Prince.

The letter also revealed that the current emperor is seriously ill, but has not yet appointed an heir, although he has many sons.

No one was willing to submit to anyone else, and at first they didn't dare to go too far, but the old emperor's illness just wouldn't get better, and drought struck many parts of the country.

Some people couldn't sit still and began plotting to seize the top position.

Even droughts were rampant and no one cared; people were fighting tooth and nail, and a single opportunity was all it took for them to break out into a full-blown war.

Originally, Ping'an Town was breached, and the Xiongnu invaded. This third prince colluded with the Xiongnu to attack the imperial city so that he could seize the throne.

Unexpectedly, plans can't keep up with changes. Everything was prepared, but it still failed.

The third prince has once again set his sights on the iron ore valley in Qing Shi Town. Once these weapons arrive, he will launch a war.

After reading all this, Su Yue was furious with the Third Prince. If it weren't for him, Su Yue would still be living a life where she had everything done for her.

He cursed the Third Prince's ancestors for eighteen generations in the online space.

But when I thought about how many weapons I had taken from him, I felt a little better.

If I were to run into him, I'd give him a good whack with an iron spoon and make him seethe with rottenness, for he actually colluded with outsiders to attack his own countrymen.

He's probably not a pig's brain; someone who lets a wolf into the house is easy to get rid of.

By then, my home might be taken over by someone else, and I'll still be counting money for them.

"What an idiot," Su Yue cursed again.

Feeling a bit bored in the space, Su Yue decided to go out and take a look.

They added some usable items to the mule cart and then made room.

When Su Yue came out of the space this time, she found that the mule had changed. It seemed to understand what she was saying, and its intelligence was like that of a five or six-year-old child.

For example, when Su Yue was drinking grape juice on the cart, it slowed down more and more, and the mule head kept looking back.

It didn't see the big pothole on the road and just overturned the cart.

Su Yue, trapped under the cart, was still holding a bamboo tube filled with grape juice, which had spilled all over her. The contents of the cart were also scattered all over the ground.

When Su Yue came out from under the cart, the mule, knowing it had caused trouble, pretended to fall to the ground and howl.

At first, Su Yue thought it was because the road was too bad that the car overturned.

At first, the mule thought that Su Yue hadn't noticed that it was the one that had overturned the cart, so it started to get cocky. Sometimes it would run very fast, and sometimes its two big eyes would look around.

After slamming Su Yue under the cart for the third time, it started lying on the ground and braying again. Su Yue felt that this mule seemed to have become a spirit.

They didn't notice it the first time, they didn't notice it the second time, so the third time they figured it was intentional. Let's see if it's really the mule that's behind this.

It really is this guy.

Su Yue got off the cart and started beating the mule.

"You're still lying on the ground howling. Look how many times you've been pulled over. Do you want to be skinned alive and eaten? Look at this mess. If it happens again, I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball." Su Yue hit you again before stopping.

Seeing the mule crawling on the ground and braying this time, I felt much better. Let's see if you'll keep pretending next time.

After Su Yue tidied up the cart and tied up the mule, she began to lecture it: "If you pull the cart, pull it properly. If it overturns, you won't get any food today. If you pull it properly, I'll give you the grape juice you want to drink."

Upon hearing that it could drink grape juice, the mule felt no pain from the beating and its four hooves began to move rapidly.

Su Yue hadn't even reacted yet and almost dropped the steamed bun in her hand.

Su Yue kicked the mule in the rear: "Why are you running so fast? You almost knocked Baozi off his feet. I told you to be steady, not to run this fast."

The kicked mule had no choice but to slow down, feeling that its master was serving it too slowly.

Su Yue felt that the mule's ability to understand human speech had some advantages. The biggest advantage was that she no longer needed to drive the cart herself; she only needed to tell the mule what to do.

They walked for more than two hours, and the sun was so hot that it made people feel uneasy. Su Yue kicked the mule's rump, telling him to find a shady place to rest.

This mule was really obedient. When it got to the woods, it stopped, put its head in front of Su Yue, and asked her for a drink.

Su Yue generously poured a bowl of grape juice for the mule, and also gave it an extra apple from the tree in its wooden food bowl.

The mule was overjoyed to have food and drink, and it opened its big mouth and brayed loudly at Su Yue.

Su Yue almost vomited from the smell coming from the mule's mouth, so she slapped it again, told it to hurry up and drink, and warned it not to bark at her.

The mule felt like it was being tickled when Su Yue hit it; all it did was drink grape juice.

Su Yue lay on the cart, her eyes closed, taking a nap, fanning herself with leaves she had gathered. The weather seemed even hotter than when she first arrived; it felt like it was baking her.

Su Yue was still thinking about how wonderful it would be to have a bite of modern ice cream, air conditioning, and chilled watermelon. The more she thought about it, the warmer she felt.

I used my mental energy to check on the fruit seeds I planted in the space. I found that they had all sprouted and were growing quite well. It won't be long before I can enjoy fruit freedom.

Just as I was feeling quite pleased with myself, I heard a snoring sound.

Su Yue sat up and opened her eyes to see the mule lying next to the cart, sleeping like a pig. Its snoring was so loud and annoying.

Su Yue got off the plank and slapped the mule awake: "Get out of here and go to sleep! You're going to deafen me! You mule, your snoring is louder than a pig's! Tell me what you want to do, and get the hell out there and go to sleep."

The mule, woken up by the beating, was still angry and wanted to bite, but when it saw that it was its owner, it instantly showed a fawning expression and tried to rub its big head against Su Yue's leg.

Su Yue slapped his big head to the side again, so he had no choice but to sleep under a tree five or six meters away from the cart, feeling wronged.
