One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
"Bao, is this guy a thief? What did he steal that he used such a big sack to put it in?" Xu Ning was full of suspicion, his eyes fixed on the bulging sack.
Xu Ning suspected that it was a human, so he tentatively turned on the drone's red temperature monitoring and scanning function.
As the screen shook slightly, the scanning results soon appeared in front of him - as expected, there was a living person in it!
"Oh my god!" Xu Ning stared at the screen and saw that the man carried the sack into the room and never came out.
At this moment, the voice of the treasure chest suddenly entered Xu Ning's mind: "Hello player, I'm afraid the person in this sack will cause you a lot of trouble. If things go wrong, you may not even be able to board the ship tomorrow."
Xu Ning was shocked when he heard this and cried out, "Why?!"
"The reason lies in her identity. Once her disappearance is discovered, the entire Sioux City will probably be put on lockdown."
"Whose ancestor is she that she can cause such a big commotion?" Xu Ning widened his eyes.
"She is the only legitimate daughter of the King of Qi, Princess Yunhui."
"How could such a dignified princess come to this tiny Su City? And how could she be kidnapped so easily? This is truly unbelievable. Could it be... someone did this on purpose?"
Xu Ning's mind flashed through the plots of those palace intrigue novels he had read, and he couldn't help but speculate boldly: "Could it be that those illegitimate sons and daughters who are jealous of her are secretly planning a conspiracy?"
"Haha, congratulations, player, you guessed it right!"
Xu Ning was not happy at all when she heard this, because her plans were interrupted.
"Oh, there's more." Treasure Box continued.
"What else?" Xu Ning's tone was obviously a little impatient.
"Princess Yunhui appeared in Su City this time because she was going to Happy Valley. King Qi was completely unaware of this; it was planned by Princess Yunhui and her brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, Princess Yunhui had no idea that this trip was actually a trap set by her good brothers and sisters, with the intention of ruining her reputation."
My goodness, if this happens, when something happens to Princess Yunhui, King Qi will definitely be dissatisfied with Happy Valley.
No! Absolutely not!
Xu Ning can't just sit back and watch!
How long has her Happy Valley been open for business, and those evil spirits can't hold back and are trying to stir up trouble?
You’re dreaming!
She would never agree!
"Baby, hurry up and lure the guy out of the house immediately!" Time is running out. Only one or two minutes have passed. It should still be in time.
"When he comes out, immediately sprinkle him with sleeping pills and knock him out!" The drone is very familiar with the task of administering sleeping pills.
Xu Ning wrote the letter with his left hand while staring at the screen.
Seeing that the man fainted on the ground not long after being led out, Xu Ning made a prompt decision and ordered the drone to fly into the house quickly.
The room was in a mess. The sack on Princess Yunhui had been half untied, and she was placed casually on the bed. She was still unconscious, but her clothes were still neat.
Because the person was unconscious, he had to be transferred away.
Xu Ning immediately released several more drones, tied hooks and ropes to the drones, hooked the hooks on the sacks, and then secretly airlifted Princess Yunhui to a deserted yard.
The yard had been uninhabited for a long time, the doors of the houses were rotten, and there were a lot of weeds on the ground. Xu Ning put Princess Yunhui in a corner of the house, found some straw to cushion her, and then covered her with the straw and left her alone.
Xu Ning finished writing her letter while sending the drone, and she used it to drop the letter into Princess Yunhui's sack. The rest was up to her.
The next morning, the entire Su City was under martial law, and Xu Ning stayed in the RV and did not go anywhere.
She saw through the drone that Princess Yunhui had woken up early in the morning. She was so frightened that she stood there, and she trembled all over after seeing the letter written by Xu Ning.
What puzzled Xu Ning was that Princess Yunhui did not choose to leave immediately, but stubbornly stayed in the dilapidated house and waited for a long time.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind. She slowly walked towards the door and stopped a woman who happened to be passing by to buy groceries. She bought a set of rough and simple cloth clothes from her and put them on. Then she walked towards the courtyard mentioned in Xu Ning's letter.
The kidnapper who was knocked unconscious and sleeping soundly in the yard last night was awakened by the knocking on the door. He quickly ran into the house and found that Princess Yunhui was missing. He was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.
He opened the door quickly and bumped into a huge group of people.
Princess Yunhui's brothers and sisters were even happier when they saw his panicked face, but they didn't know that all this had been seen by Princess Yunhui who was hiding in the crowd.
She immediately turned around and left.
Princess Yunhui confirmed that Xu Ning's letter did not deceive her, so she immediately found her people, secretly explained the situation to the magistrate of Sucheng County, and returned to the capital without caring about her half-brother and half-sister who had not returned.
Xu Ning separated the two screens. On one screen, he saw that the courtyard was still in commotion, while on the other screen, Princess Yunhui had already taken her people away by boat.
It wouldn't be long before the martial law at the city gates was lifted, so Xu Ning packed up and rushed into the city.
Just as she reached the city gate, Xu Ning met the soldiers who had stopped her yesterday.
This time, Xu Ning directly stuffed five copper coins into his pocket.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Oh, don't mention it. When gods fight, the little devils suffer." Xu Ning listened and nodded secretly, isn't it?
"Are you going into town to see your wife again today?"
"Yes, I waited for a whole day yesterday but didn't see her, so my aunt asked me to come over again today."
"It's not easy for you either, come in quickly."
"Yes, yes, thank you, brother!" Xu Ning thanked him repeatedly and walked quickly into the city. It seemed that the order from above should have been passed down.
Xu Ning rushed to Butcher Zhang's house and knocked gently on the door. However, there was no movement from inside. Just as she was puzzled, Old Wang next door opened his door.
"Hey, young man, why are you here so early today?" Old Wang greeted Xu Ning enthusiastically.
"I'm indeed a bit busy today, and I have to go out of town on some business in the afternoon. I wonder if my sister-in-law is available right now. If she is not free now, I will come to ask her for advice when I pass by Sucheng another day." Xu Ning responded politely.
"When you are free, young master, please come in! My wife has already cleaned up and is waiting for you!" As soon as Xu Ning entered the yard, he found that Old Wang and his wife had indeed cleaned up the internal organs and were just about to put them in the pot to cook.
"Master Zhang, have you gone out to set up your stall?"
"No, he specifically asked me to wait for him while he went to the blacksmith shop to get something."
Xu Ning probably guessed what it was. She raised her eyes and smiled, "Sister-in-law, Brother Wang, let's quickly cook some delicious food and wait for Master Zhang to come back and enjoy it together!"
“Hey!”
