Chapter 79: It's creepy at night

Ling Yun felt a little aggrieved. If he pretended to be an idiot, he couldn't ask why, nor could he ask her what she wanted to know.

Su Nuan came to the front of the team and found Cheng Feng and asked directly: "Are there any corrupt officials in the city ahead?" Cheng Feng laughed and said: "What are corrupt officials?"

Su Nuan felt that her question was being ridiculed. She touched her nose and asked, "What should I call you then?"

Cheng Feng replied: "You should ask if anyone is worth being cut into pieces."

Su Nuan glanced sideways, this Cheng Feng was even more ruthless than herself.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cheng Feng smiled and said, "There are eight major trading companies in the city. They usually have serious internal conflicts, but the city lord is happy to see it happen because he can take turns to collect benefits."

"As for those who were to be cut into pieces, the city lord bore the brunt of the consequences. He was a local tyrant, bullying men and women, taking human lives with him."

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Want to kill him?"

Su Nuan quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, this is none of my business. I can barely take care of myself, so how can I care about others?"

Cheng Feng nodded. "Well, I don't have time to care about others now. If you keep showing off your kindness, you'll be dead soon."

Su Nuan certainly knew the consequences of excessive sympathy, so she tried her best to the best of her ability.

If I had the ability to overthrow the royal family now, I would definitely not refuse and would directly storm into the palace.

She shook her head to get rid of this ridiculous idea. She was lucky enough to be able to keep this family. Thinking too much would only bring trouble to herself.

Cheng Feng said: "Don't go into the city, otherwise you won't be able to come out alive."

Su Nuan took a step back in fear, shaking her head like a rattle, "No, I won't go."

After saying that, she turned around and ran away. She had already obtained the information she wanted to find out.

After returning, she beckoned Ling Yun, and Ling Yun followed her to the back of the team with a silly smile on his face.

Su Nuan whispered, "Can you still fly?"

Ling Yun nodded, "Yes, I can fly."

Su Nuan felt that it was not very reliable, but she wanted to give it a try.

"Then wait for me to call you, and we'll go beat the bad guys."

Ling Yun's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay."

He was really happy that his sister-in-law thought of him, so he would be useful to her in the future and he would be useful in her heart.

Su Nuan has made a good plan and sleeps soundly.

The team would stay for three days before leaving, so Su Nuan waited quietly.

Li Shitou went to the city to buy bedding and other necessities for Su Nuan, and Su Nuan accepted them without hesitation.

There were many more vehicles in the team, and almost all the elderly, children, women and children could ride in the vehicles, while the young and strong were responsible for driving the vehicles.

Just before departure, Su Nuan brought Ling Yun to the city wall.

Su Nuan observed for two days and found that there were soldiers standing on the city wall during the day, but they would go to sleep after midnight at night, and the defense was particularly lax.

The two came to the bottom of the city wall, and Su Nuan pointed upwards and made a gesture to jump over.

Ling Yun smiled foolishly and nodded, reaching out to grab Su Nuan's collar from behind. The two of them first jumped onto the city wall and then jumped into the city without disturbing anyone the whole time.

When Su Nuan climbed up the city wall just now, she quickly locked onto the target. The largest and most luxurious courtyard in the city must be the city lord's house.

She identified the direction, pulled Ling Yun's sleeve and ran.

However, Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up Su Nuan, and after a few jumps, he ran a long distance away.

Su Nuan was speechless. How could she explain this to this idiot? Wouldn't it be better to just hold him in her arms and carry him on her back? Why did she have to carry him on her back?

But after thinking about it carefully, carrying it is indeed the best way. After all, the identities of the two are there. The worldly view does not care whether Ling Yun is a fool or not, but only sees that they are uncle and sister-in-law.

If an uncle and his sister-in-law hug each other, they will be thrown into a pig cage.

Ling Yun knew Su Nuan's secret and the purpose of her coming here, so he didn't beat around the bush and pretend to be stupid, but directly took her into the City Lord's Mansion.

When Su Nuan was put down, she dry heaved a few times. With her head facing down and her stomach pressed against her, it was hard to believe she felt any better.

Ling Yun felt guilty, but he had no better solution and could only smile foolishly.

Su Nuan panted for a while and said, "Next time, carry me on your back."

Ling Yun scratched his head and said, "Okay, back."

Su Nuan recovered and started looking for the warehouse. This was Ling Yun's forte. He intentionally or unintentionally took the wrong path and led Su Nuan into the backyard.

There are a few dilapidated houses in the backyard, which don't look like warehouses at all.

Ling Yun, however, somersaulted through the door and rolled inside. He exclaimed, "What a sight!"

Su Nuan hurried in and closed the door behind her.

She took out the night pearl, and the little light illuminated the entire room with gold.

"Wow...it's all gold."

To be more precise, they are gold products, such as vases, handles, small sculptures...

Su Nuan didn't have time to take a closer look and waved her hand to put everything into the space.

This was not the first time Ling Yun had seen this. He clapped his hands with a smile, "Sister-in-law is a fairy."

Su Nuan took out the braised fish she had made in the space and stuffed it into his hand. "Eat it obediently. I'll take these away. When we get to the destination later, this will be our confidence."

"Then Mom and Grandma will be able to live in a big house, a warm one."

"Tuantuan is still young. After playing for two years, you should ask a master to teach her some skills. If you are not stupid, you can teach her martial arts."

"Girls will get married sooner or later. It's better for them to have their own abilities than for their parents to give them confidence. If their husband's family bullies them, they can fight back."

"Well... your brother's illness is actually easy to treat. As long as you do what I say, he will be able to walk like a normal person in the future, but he won't be able to use force anymore."

"But he's injured his roots, so he won't be able to have children in the future. So the burden of expanding the Ling family falls on you."

"Don't worry, I've prepared enough betrothal gifts. I'll marry whoever you like in the future."

"By the way, my aunt is still young and needs to remarry. When we meet the right one, we must prepare enough dowry."

"Well... having money without food is not enough. I have to pay more attention to cold-resistant seeds. As local landlords, we have money and food, and we can live a prosperous life."

Ling Yun lowered his head and listened to Su Nuan's chatter while eating.

She made good arrangements for everyone in the family, but I never heard how she made the arrangements for herself.

Ling Yun asked curiously: "Where is sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Su Nuan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Don't think too much about it for now. As long as you are happy, I am happy."

Ling Yun felt sad. His sister-in-law was too nice and didn't even think about her own affairs.

He felt that he might be dead, and everything now was an illusion, unreal.

After finishing this room, Su Nuan went to the next door. There were three dilapidated houses here, all of which were warehouses.

But the room next door was full of cloth and other valuables, and Su Nuan didn't care what they were and took them all away.

When they arrived at the last warehouse, Su Nuan was so scared that she sat down on the ground.

There were two huge coffins in the room, both made of golden nanmu wood. Although beautiful, they looked creepy at night.
