Chapter 227 I will definitely be the first to break your neck
Li Suining wanted to go in and take a look. If it was really as scary as the city lord said, then she thought it would be better not to lock that aunt up in there.
"Well... okay." Yun Tiankuo was a little surprised, but he didn't stop them. He carefully reminded them, "Then be careful, the stairs are a bit slippery."
He walked in front with the woman, Bai Yu'an followed behind with Li Suining in his arms, and Qingyun walked at the end.
Fortunately, after entering, I found that although it was cold and damp inside, it was not full of rats and poisonous snakes as Yun Tiankuo said, and it seemed relatively safe.
Yun Tiankuo locked the woman in one of the cells, and she continued to curse at the top of her lungs.
"Let's go, let's go out and let her scream here alone." Yun Tiankuo glared at the woman again and left with a few people.
After leaving the dungeon, Bai Yu'an handed the little dumpling to Qingyun, "You go back first, I want to talk to City Lord Yun."
"Okay, we'll wait for you over there." Qingyun didn't dare to go far, for fear that Yun Tiankuo would attack Bai Yu'an if he was not around.
Bai Yu'an nodded.
After watching the two walk away, he slowly said, "What happened today was indeed very dangerous."
"Don't worry, sir. I will strictly discipline the citizens in the future, and such things will never happen again." Yun Tiankuo said apologetically, looking embarrassed.
"City Lord Yun, I can understand the behavior of these people." Bai Yu'an sighed softly, "When two countries go to war, it's a life-and-death struggle. There's nothing wrong with them hating us."
Yun Tiankuo didn't say anything, but looked at the young man in front of him quietly. Although Wang Yuanshu didn't say it that day, he guessed that this person should be Bai Yunfeng's son, the second son.
"But as far as I know, when General Bai left, he ordered the reconstruction of Dongyi City. It's a pity that he couldn't do it himself. Otherwise, Dongyi City might be a completely different place now."
Bai Yuan changed the subject at the right moment, "However, I believe that with City Lord Yun here, Dongyi City will soon return to normal."
"As the city lord, I will naturally do my best to assist Dajin and rebuild Dongyi City." Yun Tiankuo lowered his eyes and promised.
"Okay, then we'll go back first." Bai Yu'an didn't say anything else, nodded, and left with Li Suining and others.
Back in their courtyard, Qingyun spoke in confusion, "Why didn't the Second Young Master just reveal his identity to Yun Tiankuo? Explain that what those soldiers were doing wasn't the general's intention."
"It's not the right time yet." Bai Yu'an shook his head slowly. "Right now, both Yun Tiankuo and we are controlled by Wang Yuanshu. If we acknowledge City Lord Yun, we're not sure if he'll believe us. However, it might anger Wang Yuanshu, and then... it could be very dangerous."
Qingyun nodded. "Second Young Master is right, but... could Wang Yuanshu really be a two-faced guy?"
Bai Yu'an didn't answer his question directly, but simply said, "If so, then this person is very dangerous."
Qingyun nodded in agreement again.
"By the way, find a chance to have someone from Feiyun Sect deliver a letter to the General's Mansion and tell him about the situation here." Bai Yu'an sighed softly and said, "Regardless of whether all this is Wang Yuanshu's original intention, if we want to stop it, I'm afraid the court will need to send more people here."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Qingyun stood up and prepared to leave.
Bai Yu'an took the silver and handed it to him, saying, "Don't forget to buy some Northern Barbarian clothes."
"Okay." Feiyun disappeared quickly.

In the evening, Xiaotuanzi secretly took a few snacks and ran out of the yard.
Qingyun saw it, but did not stop it. He just followed quietly behind.
Sure enough, he saw the little dumpling sneaking into the dungeon.
Qingyun laughed helplessly. It seemed that the second young master had guessed right. The little guy had been absent-minded the whole afternoon and was indeed thinking about the woman in the dungeon.
He remained silent and hid in the dark to protect her.
Li Suining took the snacks and quickly found the woman. She was standing outside the cell door and called out in a very quiet voice, "Auntie, are you hungry? Did they bring you food?"
The woman opened her eyes suddenly when she heard the sound. She was a little dazed for a moment and rushed to the door, subconsciously calling out, "Ruru?"
Li Suining was startled and took a few steps back, looking at the other person in horror.
"You're not Ru Ru?" The woman quickly regained consciousness, gripping the railing with both hands and cursing viciously, "You damned little Jin dog, what are you doing here? Do you want to see how pathetic I am?"
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling you, you won't be so proud for long. If I ever get out, I'll be the first one to break your neck. And your two brothers will also die."
The little girl pouted in fear, and tears immediately appeared in her two big eyes.
She subconsciously touched her neck and realized that it was still intact. She said pitifully, "Auntie, don't be so cruel. Don't even think about breaking someone's neck. That's too scary."
"Are you scared? Get out of here!" the woman screamed.
"I... I'll leave soon, I just..." The little dumpling opened his palms and wanted to cry even more.
She was so scared just now that she crushed the snack in her palm. "What should I do? How can my aunt eat it if it's broken like this?"
"Who wants to eat your filth?" The woman shook the railing vigorously, as if she was about to rush out. "If you don't leave, believe it or not, I will rush out and break your neck right now. Get out! Get out right now!"
Li Suining wiped away her tears and said pitifully, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll leave right away..."
She paused, then continued cautiously, "I know, you... you must have lost your family, maybe even your children..."
"Get out!" The woman stopped, but her voice sounded even more terrifying. The look in her eyes when she looked at Li Suining seemed as if she was going to eat Li Suining alive at any time.
"You... must love them very much, and they must love you very much too," Li Suining mustered up the courage to continue, "They are far away, and they certainly don't want you to suffer so much..."
"You damned girl," the woman said, her eyes red with anger, "what do you know? You're held in someone's arms and coaxed into submission every day. How can you possibly understand the pain of losing a loved one?"
She was so angry that she shook the railing even harder, and it looked like she was about to burst out. "You won't leave, right? Then I'll kill you. I'll kill you now!"
"I'm leaving. I'm leaving right away." The little girl ran out in fear. When she reached the door, she looked back and said timidly, "My...my father also went to a very far place, so I understand how you feel."
She had obviously made up her mind, "Auntie, I will come to see you again."
The woman looked surprised. After a while, she said coldly, "Come out!"
