Rebirth of the Princess Pearl
Chapter 98: Crisis and Difficult Decision
On the streets of Jiangnan, the sun shines on the stone pavement, creating a faint glow. The shops on the street are scattered in an orderly manner, and people come and go, making it very lively. The sign of the branch of the Western Region Brocade Workshop sways gently in the wind, as if telling of its splendor and glory.
Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Qing'er and Xiaojian stood in the yard of the workshop, watching the craftsmen busy shuttling back and forth, with gratified smiles on their faces. However, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts, as if a huge storm was about to come.
Little Swallow put her hands on her hips, looked up at the sky and said, "Time flies by so fast, and our workshop is becoming more and more prosperous." Her eyes were bright and full of energy.
Ziwei nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, but we can't take it lightly. The more successful we are, the more cautious we must be." Her eyes were gentle and firm, and she held a piece of newly woven brocade in her hand, stroking it gently.
Erkang stood aside, with his hands folded across his chest, and said, "There seem to be some new trends in the market recently. We must pay close attention." His eyes were deep, revealing a kind of wisdom.
Qing'er walked up to Ziwei and said, "We can send more people to collect market information and understand the situation of our competitors." She had a gentle smile on her face and her eyes were full of concern.
Xiao Jian looked into the distance and said, "We should not only pay attention to the market, but also pay attention to internal management. Ensure the smooth operation of the workshop." His eyes were firm, his hands behind his back, revealing a calm temperament.
While they were discussing, a young craftsman came running over, looking panicked. He bowed and said, "My Lords, something bad has happened."
Xiaoyanzi immediately became nervous and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly." Her eyes were fixed on the young craftsman and her body leaned forward slightly.
The young craftsman gasped and said, "A batch of our brocade was robbed on the way to the capital."
Ziwei frowned and said, "Robbed? How could this happen? How much brocade was robbed?" There was a hint of worry in her eyes, and the brocade in her hands tightened unconsciously.
Erkang said: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate and see who did it." His eyes were decisive and he turned around to arrange people.
Xiao Jian stopped him and said, "Wait, let's calm down first. This matter is not simple. Someone may be targeting us deliberately." His eyes were serious and his hands were folded across his chest.
Qing'er said, "We must find a way to recover the stolen brocade as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect our reputation." Her voice was soft but very assertive.
Xiaoyanzi nodded and said, "Yes, we can't let those bad guys succeed." Her eyes revealed firm determination and her hands clenched into fists.
So, they began to investigate the robbery of brocade. Erkang took some people to the place where the incident happened to check for clues, while Xiaojian contacted his friends in the martial arts world to inquire about the news. Ziwei and Qing'er stayed in the workshop to calm the emotions of the craftsmen and strengthen the security measures of the workshop. Xiaoyanzi went to the capital to report the matter to the emperor.
Erkang arrived at the place where the brocade was robbed. It was a mess. The wreckage of the carriage was scattered on the ground, and the box was opened, but the brocade inside was missing. He carefully checked the surrounding environment, looking for clues.
Erkang frowned and said, "These robbers are very experienced and didn't leave many clues." His eyes were sharp and he didn't miss any details.
At this time, he found a strange mark on the ground. He had never seen this mark before and didn't know what it meant. He decided to bring it back and let everyone study it together.
Xiao Jian came to a friend in the martial arts world. When his friend saw him, he hurried over and asked, "Xiao Jian, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Xiao Jian said: "Something happened in my workshop. A batch of brocade was robbed. Have you heard any news?" His eyes were full of anticipation.
My friend thought for a moment and said, "There has indeed been some unrest in the underworld recently. There is a group of mysterious people active in various places, and I don't know what their purpose is. However, I heard that their methods are very cruel, which may be related to the robbery of your brocade."
Xiao Jian frowned and said, "Is there any way to find this group of people?" His eyes were firm and his hands were clenched into fists.
The friend said, "I'll help you find out. But you have to be careful, this group of people is not easy to deal with."
Xiaoyanzi came to the capital and met the emperor. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looked at Xiaoyanzi, and asked: "Xiaoyanzi, why are you here? What's the matter?"
After paying her respects, Xiaoyanzi said, "Father, a batch of brocade from our workshop was robbed on the way to the capital. This is a major loss for our workshop and will also affect the supply to the imperial palace. Please ask Your Majesty to send someone to help recover the robbed brocade." Her eyes were filled with anxiety and expectation.
The emperor frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen? I will send someone to investigate. You must also strengthen your precautions and not let such a thing happen again."
Xiaoyanzi said: "Thank you, Father Huang. We will definitely learn from the lesson and strengthen management."
After returning to Jiangnan, Xiaoyanzi told everyone what the emperor said. Everyone felt under great pressure and didn't know how to deal with this crisis.
Just when they were at a loss, the woman who had cooperated with them appeared again. The woman came to the workshop and saw that everyone looked so sad. She asked, "What happened? Why are you all so sad?"
Xiaoyanzi told the woman about the robbery of Jinduan. The woman frowned and said, "This may be a conspiracy. Someone doesn't want your workshop to grow."
Ziwei said, "Do you have any ideas?" There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she looked at the woman closely.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "I have a way, but I need your cooperation."
Erkang asked, "What method? Tell me quickly." His eyes were anxious and his hands tightly grasped the woman's arms.
The woman said: "We can set a trap to lure out the robbers. Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Xiao Jian said: "Is this method feasible? Will it be too dangerous?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he clasped his hands across his chest.
The woman said: "As long as we plan carefully, there will be no danger. I am familiar with the methods of those robbers. I can make a detailed plan."
Qing'er said, "We must act with caution. We can't let more people get hurt." There was a gentle smile on her face and her eyes were full of concern.
After some discussion, they decided to adopt the woman's method and began to carefully plan a trap to lure out the robbers.
In the process, they encountered many difficulties and challenges. They had to find a suitable location to set the trap, arrange the division of labor among the personnel, and ensure the confidentiality of the plan.
However, Xiaoyanzi and her friends were not defeated by these difficulties. They worked together to retrieve the robbed brocade and bravely faced this crisis for the future of the workshop.
Finally, the plan was ready. They set a trap in a remote valley and waited for the robbers to appear.
The valley was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind. Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Qing'er, Xiaojian and some craftsmen were hiding around the valley, waiting nervously.
Time passed by, and everyone was getting more and more nervous. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. Everyone's heart was in their throat, and they stared closely at the direction where the sound came from.
A group of men in black appeared on horseback at the entrance of the valley. They walked into the valley cautiously, observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Xiaoyanzi and the others held their breath and waited for the right moment. When the robbers reached the center of the trap, the woman gave a signal. Everyone rushed out and surrounded the robbers.
The robbers panicked and tried to escape. However, they had fallen into a trap and could not escape. After a fierce battle, they finally subdued all the robbers.
After the stolen brocade was recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, they knew that the crisis was not over yet. They still had to work hard to protect the workshop and meet future challenges.
In this process, they also more deeply realized the power of unity. Only by working together can we overcome difficulties and achieve success.
The sky in the south of the Yangtze River is still blue, and the sign of the branch of the Western Region Brocade Workshop is shining in the sun. The story of Xiaoyanzi and her friends continues, full of challenges and opportunities, warmth and touching moments.
