Chapter 146 King Liang

Su Yue thought about it and felt that what Murong Li said made sense. Even if the hired person signed a confidentiality agreement with him, he might still leak the recipe for profit.

The people who were bought were different. Their indentures were in the hands of their masters, and the power of life and death was in their masters' hands. They did not dare to gamble with their own lives.

Even if you gamble it, what are you gambling for? Your life is in the hands of the owner, so there is no need to do that.

Unless this person has something more important than his lifeline, but that situation is very rare.

In addition, the people here have a very serious class concept. Slaves have the consciousness of slaves and are very servile. Most slaves will not betray their masters.

"By the way, who is this King Liang from Beifeng Kingdom?" Su Yue just then remembered that she had not asked Murong Li about this.

Murong Li's face turned serious as he mentioned Prince Liang. "Prince Liang is the fourth prince of the Northern Feng Kingdom. He's about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He possesses both military and literary skills, wisdom and courage, but he's not the crown prince. He privately manufactured weapons, probably to compete for the throne."

“No wonder.”

No wonder he built an arsenal at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. The concealment there is really amazing. No one would have thought of building an arsenal there. Only King Liang could think of that.

If it were them, they might not have thought of it.

However, it would take a lot of energy and time to build an arsenal there.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yue saw that Murong Li remained silent after he finished speaking, and his expression was very solemn.

Murong Li looked up and said, "I was thinking about that Prince Liang. The Crown Prince of Beifeng is now on par with the Crown Prince of Xifeng. Although he's not very smart, he has no ambitions. If he takes the throne, he will only protect Beifeng. If Prince Liang takes the throne, there will be no peace among the four kingdoms. He's not only smart, but also very ambitious."

Su Yue raised an eyebrow. "Are you worried that after he takes power, he'll start a war against Xifeng Kingdom? Fight for hegemony over the four kingdoms?"

Murong Li nodded. "It's very possible. Anyone with great ambitions is often ambitious. If he starts a war, Xifeng Nation will only be beaten, and the people will be the ones who suffer in the end."

Su Yue understood Murong Li's worries. Since ancient times, once a war broke out, it was the common people who suffered. The powerful had long since retreated, and it was the common people who went to the battlefield. The common people would lose their homes, become displaced, and their families would be destroyed...

But what Murong Li worried about might not happen.

She patted Murong Li and said, "Why worry? Before he takes the throne, we can vigorously develop national defense. There is still time. You don't need to worry too much."

Murong Li looked up and smiled at Su Yue: "Yuer is right, I was worrying too much. We now have cement to build Xifeng Kingdom as solid as steel. No matter how powerful he is, he can't invade Xifeng Kingdom."

"Well, we can still enter Beifeng Country at will now. Does he have a chance to ascend to the throne?"

Su Yue winked at Murong mischievously. They still had plenty of opportunities to cause trouble in Beifeng Kingdom. With her ability, if she could kill Prince Liang, what would he use to take the throne?

Even if he came to power, what would he use to dominate the four countries?

It's just a dream.

Murong Li scratched her nose lovingly, then pulled her down to sit on his lap, held her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead. He liked Su Yue's look the most when she was about to do something bad.

so cute.

"You've really forgotten our Yue'er's abilities. No matter how smart he is, it's useless. He can't beat our Yue'er."

Murong Li's mood suddenly improved.

"You're so conceited. It's yours." Su Yue poked his forehead.

"It will happen sooner or later." Murong Li smiled.

After the two of them were together for a while, they simply cooked a seafood feast in the space. After they were done, they brought it out and set it on the table before calling Su Qiwen and Su Qicheng to come back for dinner.

When the two saw the seafood, they exclaimed in amazement and couldn't wait to eat it.

Su Qiwen knew Su Yue's space, and these seafood must have come from the space, but Su Qicheng didn't know. However, he was a foodie, and when he saw something delicious, he would work hard to get it, no matter where it came from. It would only make his head hurt if he thought too much.

Throughout the journey, he had come to know more or less about the mystery of his sister and her current abilities. He was not stupid, but he just didn't want to think too much about it.

Su Yue and Murong Li smiled at each other and joined in.

It was already dark after dinner, and the four of them did not go back to the yard downstairs, but planned to stay in this yard.

After the four of them finished their work, they chatted in the yard. Su Qiwen asked Su Yue, "Sister, do you want to hire someone to warm up the house after it's built? I heard from the villagers that when a new house is built, they always invite everyone to come and liven it up."

Su Yue glanced at Murong Li who was pursing his lips. Murong Li just nodded at her, meaning that he agreed with her.

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. Let's not even talk about how much food it would cost. We don't understand that, and the four of us don't have the energy to do it."

The main reason was that Su Yue didn't want anyone to discover the entrance to the tunnel in the backyard.

There were so many people and it was noisy, so it was inevitable that some curious people would look around in the yard. Now she had only done some simple work there, and it looked like a cellar from the outside.

Although the people in the village are all ordinary people, most of them are not simple ordinary people. It is not difficult to find problems if you look carefully.

Su Qiwen nodded: "Actually, I think so too. It's too troublesome, so let's not do it."

"That's good. Big brother and second brother, you two can rest first. Murong and I will go to the village chief's house."

Su Qiwen frowned: "Why are you going to the village chief's house so late?"

"Something's going on. You guys go to sleep first."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she winked at Murong Li. Murong Li stood up and followed her out of the yard.

The village chief's house was at the back of the village, not far from their yard. The two of them soon arrived at the door of the village chief's house, and Murong Li went forward and knocked on the door.

The village chief was just about to take a rest when he heard a knock on the door. He asked his wife, Mrs. Gao, to open the door. When Mrs. Gao saw Murong Li and his partner, she quickly let them in.

The two were the village's great benefactors, and no one disliked them, so Gao naturally had a good face.

"Village Chief Niu, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Murong Li bowed to Village Chief Niu as he entered.

Village Chief Niu waved his hand. He had just washed his feet, put on his shoes, put his pipe aside, and pointed to the stool next to him. "Fourth Young Master, you are too polite. It's no big deal. Please take a seat."

Young Master Murong was calling him troublesome, so Murong Li told them to just call him the Fourth Young Master.

The two nodded and sat on the stools.

"What are you doing here?"

After Village Chief Niu asked Gao to pour two glasses of boiled water for the two of them, he asked them directly. He was a straightforward person and didn't like to beat around the bush.
