Upon closer inspection, it was a small depression resembling a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, like a giant chair, offering a wide view. Looking down, the entire city of Yuzhou was laid out before them. However, the houses they built here seemed a bit small, and there was an inexplicable strange feeling about it...
Seeing Li Ru shake his head, Master Liao became a little anxious. "This place is good. Trust me, you won't be wrong. In the future, your children and grandchildren will be successful in both literature and martial arts, and even become marquises and prime ministers."
"I haven't seen such a good feng shui site in so many years."
The Taoist priest added another sentence.
Li Ruo: ... "Are you misunderstanding something?"
Lian Lizhi tugged at her sleeve, her eyes full of expectation, "Aruo, I think Brother Qing and Father will definitely like this place, even though it's just a cenotaph."
Li Ruo: ...
His face flushed with a mix of colors. "So, you all thought I came here to find a graveyard?"
Liao Fusheng, Lian Lizhi, the newly awakened Old Lady Li, and the little boy all nodded, "Isn't that right?"
Li Ruo: ...
Sun Ergou led the way, and the brothers of Black Wind Stronghold laughed at them for a full quarter of an hour.
Xie Xiao laughed so hard his shoulders were shaking. He only stopped laughing after being glared at several times by Li Ruo. "Actually, it's not bad. The grave mound is sturdy. You can consider building your house like that. We can take a look when we get back."
Everyone imagined it, the whole mountainside covered in... wow, how magnificent!
Li Ruo: "Get out!"
Wouldn't that mean I'd have nightmares every day?
Xie Xiao's expression turned serious again, his eyes becoming dark and sharp. "By the way, why did you build houses on the mountain?"
He's completely lost that carefree attitude.
Li Ruo didn't bother beating around the bush. "My father appeared to me in a dream and said that a great flood was about to happen, and that I should take my family and escape to the mountains."
Isn't this guy also prone to precognitive dreams? So it's not hard to get him to believe it.
"Really?" Xie Xiao smiled. "What a coincidence, my grandfather also appeared in my dream and said the same thing as your father."
Li Ruo gave him a thumbs up, "That's why it's easier to get things done when you have connections below you."
Xie Xiao: "Do you think our grandfather and father might be in the same government office down there?"
"Possibly." No, what do you mean by "our grandfather and father"? That sounds so strange.
Xie Xiao smiled again, "But if you build houses here and take up the spot where I watch the sunrise, then it's a different story."
Watching the sunrise? The end of the world is here, what's the point?
Li Ruo knew that the trick she played on him last night to take over the armory wouldn't be so easy to get away with. "So what do you want?"
"You can have 80% of the weapons from last night, and 20% of the food. There's no use for a young lady like you having so many weapons; you might as well stockpile some food."
Li Ru chuckled, "Isn't that still a 20/80 split? No way." Once something enters her space, it can forget about getting it back out.
Xie Xiao chuckled and stared at her, "I have more than just the hundred-odd brothers from Black Wind Stronghold here, not just those from last night."
Li Ruoning went back.
Well, our side is full of the elderly, children, and the sick.
Besides those on the mountain, he probably has quite a few people in the villages and towns below.
Not only was he well-informed, but he also had the protagonist's aura, so even Song Zhi couldn't deal with him.
However, Li Ruoke wasn't one to back down easily. She smiled and said, "How about we make a deal?"
"What transaction?"
Li Ruo beckoned to him with her finger.
Xie Xiao moved closer.
The conspirators moved slightly away from the others.
Li Ruo said, "You and I can pull off a big heist."
"What is the Great Law?"
"You must have heard the saying, 'Even Yuzhou, Yuzhou, can't compare to the wealth of the Runan family.' It refers to the richest man in Yuzhou, the Prince of Runan."
Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow. "And then what? What does it matter to me whether the Prince of Runan's mansion has money or not?"
"Don't you want to go inside and take a look?" Li Ru shook her head.
"It's not easy to get in, is it?"
"Of course it's difficult for you to get in, but I can. I remember around this time last year, the mother of the Prince of Runan celebrated her birthday. I was still in a coma then, and I went too. Now I'm still nominally the wife of the prefect, so it's reasonable for me to attend, right? We can work together from the inside out."
It wasn't that she remembered it, but that it was mentioned in the book.
Just before the flood, the Wang family of Runan held a grand birthday celebration for the old lady, attempting to amass wealth while contrasting the festivities with the tragic end.
Taking advantage of the guests' drunken state, the male protagonist poisoned them and set them on fire, seizing the opportunity to plunder the Prince's mansion.
"How can we coordinate from the inside and outside?" Xie Xiao narrowed his eyes. Damn it, why does she also have the idea of robbing the Prince's mansion?
Li Ruo said, "You find someone to sneak in, poison them, set fires, and create chaos to hold them off while I move things from the warehouse."
Xie Xiao: ? ? Damn it, the first half of what she said is exactly what I was thinking?
He only thought about it in his heart, and didn't tell anyone!
Xie Xiao's gaze suddenly deepened as he stared intently at her, as if trying to see into her very soul.
Li Ruo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"Why are you looking at me? Do you have a better idea?" She pretended to poke his eye.
Xie Xiao recovered and laughed, "Are you kidding me? Why would you team up with outsiders to deal with your own husband? If the Prince of Runan is in trouble, then Song Zhijing is in trouble too. And I found it very strange that you robbed the government office last night."
"I was only in a coma for six months and he already remarried. How could I keep such a heartless person around for the New Year?"
"Ha, I thought you were going to keep him for the rest of your life. Didn't you love him with all your heart?"
Li Ruo looked at him: "How did you know?"
"Who in Yuzhou doesn't know? You gave your father and brothers' glory to that Song guy in exchange for a ten-mile-long red bridal procession on your wedding day." Xie Xiao smiled mockingly at her. "I even saw you at the prefect's gate that day."
Li Ruo's mouth was slightly open.
Why are you, a bandit, getting involved in the wedding of the prefect, bro?
"So the night before last, when you asked me if I knew you, was that when you met me?" But the original owner had no recollection of him. Did he lose his memory after being hit by the object?
Xie Xiao smiled and looked at her for a while, his eyes slightly darkening. "Hmm, otherwise, what do you think we could possibly have some connection?"
Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's best if there isn't." The book didn't describe her character, who was a corpse from the very beginning, much better as long as there weren't any complicated love-hate relationships.
"Give me a knife and I can kill him. Do you understand now?"
Xie Xiao's pupils dilated slightly.
