Chapter 55 Three Hundred Days
Su Chengnan's consciousness was trapped in darkness.
A long time passed.
When she thought she was going to die again, a spot of light finally appeared. It kept expanding and gradually became a dazzling curtain of light...
After a few seconds, she actually saw a scene that looked like a holographic projection...
The enemy opened the border, and the foreign tribes colluded and marched south, burning, killing and looting in the Central Plains. The heavy troops of the Yong Kingdom only focused on retreating to the imperial city. The entire Central Plains suffered from the war, with corpses everywhere and the people living in misery...
Ningguta was located in the northern part of Yong State. Not only was it the first to be attacked by the enemy, it was also nearly massacred and was abandoned early.
The picture stopped abruptly.
Su Chengnan frowned. What does this mean?
drop!
The screen lit up again.
A sentence appeared above: life span countdown: three hundred days. ? ? ? ! ! !
Su Chengnan was confused.
What do you mean? I only have three hundred days to live?
The picture flashed and the second sentence came.
Defend Ningguta and become the king of the north. The power of faith will prolong your life...
drop!
The screen went black and Su Chengnan was forced to open his eyes.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister!"
"Mi Feng, you are so amazing! My sister really woke up."
"My medical skills are naturally great."
Two faces, a man and a woman, came into view.
Su Chengnan was still immersed in the strange incident that had just happened and did not come back to his senses for a while. Su Linhua was worried that she might have some sequelae, so she pushed her quickly and then reached out to touch her forehead.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Look at this number!"
She stretched out her hand and gestured a number, and Su Chengnan said in disgust: "Two!"
"It's okay, I'm not stupid."
"Second Miss, please move aside. I will check her pulse again."
Mi Feng was used to being free and unrestrained in Penglai Valley, and had no awareness of the differences between men and women. He simply grabbed Su Chengnan's hand and started taking his pulse.
Su Chengnan looked at him in confusion, wondering why this doctor was so young.
"Yes, the pulse is stable."
"Thank you." She pulled her hand back and slowly sat up.
Lu Chaofeng coughed lightly at the door, but Mi Feng pretended not to hear it. Su Chengnan looked down at the clothes he had changed and the surrounding environment, then he remembered that he was in Lu Chaofeng's villa.
"Miss, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, thank you doctor."
"Okay, then you should get more rest. You can call me anytime if anything happens."
"Okay, thank you."
Mi Feng smiled and nodded, then stood up and left.
When Su Chengnan heard Lu Chaofeng leaving with him, he grabbed Su Linhua's hand in fear and said with tears in his eyes: "It's over..." ? ? Su Linhua was stunned, not knowing what was going on.
She was about to speak, but then she changed her mind. This was a separate courtyard and there might be ears on the walls. She changed her words and said, "I'm still a little dizzy. Second sister is frightened. Why don't you stay with me for a while?"
"I don't need to..."
Su Linhua shook her head, and suddenly felt a pain in her arm, and nodded quickly. "Ah! Okay, I'll take a break too."
Two people fell into the space.
As soon as Su Chengnan came in, his face turned as black as ink and he said, "It's over. I won't live long!"
"What?! Sister, don't scare me!"
"Defend Ningguta for three hundred days. If you can't defend it, I don't know if you will die, but I'm afraid I will die."
"Guarding Ninggu Pagoda? Sister, what are you talking about?"
Su Chengnan told her and Su Weimin what had just happened. The three of them were in the same boat. If she lost her life, the other two would have a hard time surviving either.
"What?!"
"It's going to be chaos."
Su Linhua and Su Weimin spoke at the same time.
"What should we do now? We are still a long way from Ningguta. We haven't even arrived yet, and you're still talking about defending Ningguta." Su Linhua looked worried.
Su Chengnan said seriously: "War is a money-burning business. You need money, people and food to fight."
Su Weimin: "Nan girl, did you see clearly who the enemy is?"
"They are holding machetes and wearing fur coats, like a grassland tribe. But there is one group of people whose characteristics are very obvious. They have long hair and there are bears in their group!"
"White Bear Country! The tribes outside the Great Wall to the west and north are all eyeing the Central Plains covetously. I'm afraid they all have a stake in it."
"White Bear Country?"
"Well, these people are ambitious and have been eyeing Dayong! Back then, they relied on gunpowder and almost broke through the border defenses. It was the Emperor Zu who personally led the army to defend the border, and they had to retreat because they ran out of food and grass. Over the years, they have come to pay tribute every few years, and they actually want to get to know us better."
"Gunpowder..." Su Chengnan murmured, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Old man, why didn't you tell Sun Liangyuan that he was the one who studied gunpowder!"
Su Weimin's expression froze, and he began to become evasive, "I..."
"You what?"
"I saw it on that brain, the gunpowder in your place is too powerful, bang! Even the mountain can be blown apart..."
"Empress Dowager Xiao is a coward. Liang Yuan won't be able to develop here. We're doing him a favor by taking him away. However... human life is precious. We don't necessarily have to use gunpowder... I'm afraid you won't agree..."
"You are confused!" Su Chengnan was very disappointed.
"In the confrontation between cold weapons and hot weapons, what's the use of these swords and shields? Only when we are strong will the foreign enemies dare not invade! They are powerful, so we must be more powerful than them!"
Su Weimin said excitedly: "Of course I know this truth! Do you know how many people died in the artillery fire back then! Such a weapon would be a devastating blow to anyone."
"So we should have it sooner! If the White Bear Country's shells fall on us, do you think we will have a place to cry?"
"Well, then you must kidnap Sun Liangyuan even if you have to! The Grandfather once ordered people to study this for a period of time, and the Grand Uncle has been searching for the whereabouts of those people for years. I was afraid that he would harm others, so I hid them in Ningguta."
Su Chengnan looked at him with a smile, after dealing with this old fox for half a year, Su Weimin was well prepared. He just said it so tactfully, he was just testing me. Old fox!
"Okay, you continue to play with those models. I'll try to find Sun Liangyuan first."
"Yes! We must find him!"
Su Linhua was silent for a long time. At the moment when the two finished talking, she suddenly realized, "Then I will be responsible for making money!"
"Make money?" Su Weimin wondered, how?
"It means making money." Su Linhua explained with her tongue sticking out.
"I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything else that can be used to make different delicacies. I'll sell the recipe. Anyway, with Lu Chaofeng as the sucker here, he'll be willing to pay."
Su Chengnan said unhappily, "Lu Chaofeng is thinking of doing business because he is short of money. The border is in urgent need of food and fodder, and he can't rely on the court for long. He can only rely on himself."
Su Weimin was anxious: "The border is entirely supported by the prince! You can't have any other thoughts!"
The two nodded: "Got it."
