Chapter 49: Never fight a battle without preparation
In order to prevent Deng Youning and the others from asking further questions, Niu Cuiqin took her son and hurried back home.
The old lady, who was in her fifties, ran away in the blink of an eye.
Deng Youning and Ying Shi used their Qinggong skills to reach Niu Cuiqin's door just before she closed it.
"I say, Niu Wenpo, what do you mean by this?"
"My lady just spent two hundred taels of silver on your son!"
Sakura was a little annoyed.
Is Niu Cuiqin trying to be ungrateful?
Deng Youning looked at Niu Cuiqin with interest.
Something must have happened that year, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly changed her attitude.
"Grandma Niu, even though those officers just left, no one can guarantee that they won't come back next time."
"If they try to capture your son and force him to work as a laborer, I'm afraid your precious only son won't be saved if I'm not around."
She looked at Niu Cuiqin with a smile.
"How about we make a deal?"
"I will help you get rid of that group of people completely, and you tell me the truth about when Gu gave birth to Deng Yi."
After hearing her say this, Niu Cuiqin really hesitated.
Two months ago, the mine was reopened and the group began to conscript men from the surrounding villages.
It happened to be their turn these days.
Maybe they send away a group of people today, and another group will appear tomorrow.
It's like a bottomless pit, and I don't know when this hole will be completely filled.
"You don't have to worry about Gu's making things difficult for you. I am her biological daughter. Even if my mother did something wrong, I will only help you keep it a secret for her."
Deng Youning had a sincere smile on her face.
Niu Cuiqin was also successfully deceived by her words.
"Okay! But first I want to hear what method Miss has to save my son."
As long as she agrees.
Deng Youning smiled with satisfaction and looked back at the shadows in the bushes behind him.
Li Tianzhuo's men also came with them.
The secret guard realized that his whereabouts were exposed and was about to escape, but Deng Youning threw a secret dart and hit the secret guard's bangs on his forehead.
"Report the truth about what happened here to Lord Li, and ask him to come here before tomorrow morning."
In the entire capital, the only person who can and dares to take charge of this matter is Li Tianzhuo.
The secret guard didn't reply and flew away using his lightness skills.
Deng Youning raised an eyebrow at Niu Cuiqin.
"Li Tianzhuo, the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, knows, right?"
"As a little girl, I may not be able to solve your son's problem, but he can definitely help!"
Niu Cuiqin didn't know whether she should believe her and kept having wild thoughts.
"So, grandma, is it convenient for you to let us visit you at your house tonight?"
Regardless of whether it was convenient for her or not, Deng Youning decided to stay there.
Firstly, there is no inn in this village; secondly, they are afraid that something might happen again.
The Niu family had only two rooms, so the mother and son lived in one, leaving one room for Deng Youning and her servant.
Li Tianzhuo was also extremely fast and arrived at four o'clock in the morning.
Along the way, the secret guard had explained to him all the circumstances of Niujia Village.
After learning that Deng Youning came to Niujia Village after receiving an anonymous letter, Li Tianzhuo became more and more curious about the forces in the dark that wanted to kill the Deng family.
The emperor ordered the mine to be abandoned, but some people in the court actually mined it without permission. They really value money over life!
"Master Li, can you help these poor villagers?"
Deng Youning saw that Li Tianzhuo hadn't said much since he arrived, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, I've asked Jiang Yuan to find the county magistrate. They know that I'm protecting the Niu family mother and son, so they will definitely not plot against them again."
Li Tianzhuo had already arranged Niu Dalang's affairs long before coming to Niujia Village.
Deng Youning felt a little unhappy when he heard what he said.
"Master Li, do you mean to only take care of the Niu family and leave the other villagers alone?"
If that was the case, she was fully capable of saving people on her own, so why did she need Li Tianzhuo to come?
Seeing Deng Youning sulking, Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but smile.
He knew that no matter how vicious Ningning pretended to be, her heart was as kind as that of a bodhisattva.
"Miss Deng, rest assured, villagers, I will not fail to save you!"
"It's just that this matter is complicated. Wait until tomorrow, when you get what you want to know from Niu Wenpo, leave and I will handle it."
His voice was clear and bright with a nonchalant tone.
It sounds easy, but Deng Youning knows very well that this matter may not be so easy to resolve.
He was worried about his own safety and wanted to send her away first!
"I'm good at martial arts, I can poison and cast spells, is there anything I can do to help?"
Deng Youning blurted out.
Li Tianzhuo, don't even think about leaving her behind and becoming the savior hero.
At this moment, Li Tianzhuo was very excited.
She knew that Ningning was also worried about his safety.
He couldn't help but pat her shoulder. "I asked Jiang Yuan to go to the county magistrate to get some information. When I came here, I explained the situation to His Majesty and asked for his order. It won't be long before Xiu Ming will come with the Silver Dragon Guards to support us."
Li Tianzhuo never fights a battle without preparation.
Deng Youning then realized that apart from a few secret guards hiding in the dark, he had no other followers.
"Okay, I believe you!"
She knew that he would never let her down.
But to be on the safe side, she took out several kinds of poisons from her body and explained to him how to use them one by one, so that he could be prepared in case of emergency.
Seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night right in front of him, talking endlessly about his safety, Li Tianzhuo felt that this was the happiest moment in his two lives so far.
According to Deng Youning's introduction, he identified the poisons on the table one by one, but in the end his attention was attracted by a martial arts secret book.
He picked it up and flipped through two pages, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Seeing this, Deng Youning asked casually:
"Do you like this book?"
"I can't use it for the time being anyway, so I'll lend it to you for a few days."
The book talks about a kind of martial arts method. If you practice it according to the method, the strength of a person whose martial arts skills have been completely wasted will be gradually restored.
In three to five years at the latest, it will return to its heyday.
At the same time, there is also a set of acupuncture methods, called the Eighteen Meridians of the Soul.
As long as these eighteen meridians are opened up, a person whose martial arts skills have been completely destroyed can temporarily recover their strength to its peak; a person who is seriously ill and needs medicine can also be made to feel full of energy as if he were healthy again.
But after that, people will surely die.
It is like a flash of light, which stops after three quarters of an hour.
This secret book is from the library of Wanshe Valley. Deng Youning brought it with him in order to refine a kind of Tongsheng Gu that will be used later.
For her, her martial arts had been destroyed once in her previous life, and she would never give anyone the opportunity to destroy her martial arts in this life, so she didn't need the first half of the book.
"Thank you, Miss Deng Er. I will make a copy when I get back and return it as soon as possible."
Li Tianzhuo smiled and put the book into his arms.
A pair of auspicious phoenix eyes looked at Deng Youning, as if they were about to bloom like peach blossoms.
With this book, he can practice his wasted martial arts again!
Although he is surrounded by many experts, including loyal and powerful talents like Xiu Ming and Jiang Yuan, it is always more convenient for him to have martial arts skills.
After two lifetimes, I never thought that my martial arts skills would be restored one day.
He now wished he could hold Deng Youning and spin around in circles.
