The city officials felt the matter was of great importance, so they brought in the city's security team and "protected" the person within the team's base.
Then came the scene where he called Qiu Man.
After listening to Qiu Man's explanation, Li Zongmengguan's initial excitement subsided.
He asked, "What do you think?"
Qiu Man's lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
What could he say? Could he say that he wanted to kill someone for treasure?
If he were to say something like that, what would others think of him?
Moreover, he thought that his upbringing from childhood would prevent him from doing something so heinous.
Qiu Man did not answer, and General Li did not press him further.
He sighed and said, "We really need a spatial ability user or a spatial storage device to store and transport supplies, but that girl's character isn't very good."
To be honest, I don't trust her.
Even with the powerful escort team, I don't want her to come into contact with any core information about the Qinghe Alliance.
Li Zongmengguan had always wanted a spatial storage device to store the various treasures left behind by human development over the years.
He feared that one day nature would unleash its fury, leaving them no chance to even move their supplies.
That means everything is back to square one. The survivors have to start all over again, and all the efforts of their ancestors have been in vain.
This outcome is heartbreaking.
Qiu Man knew that General Li would say that, because their alliance prioritizes virtue in personnel selection.
Li Zongmengguan rubbed his temples, curled his lips into a sarcastic smile, and said, "After listening to you, for a moment I felt a dark feeling."
I thought, since that girl is a bad person, let's capture her, extract her spatial ability, and then use that spatial ability for the Alliance to benefit all people. That way, she can die a worthy death.
However, I also felt that as the chief official of Qinghua Kingdom, how could I use the banner of selflessness to wantonly take the lives of others?
If I set this precedent, can others follow suit in the future, as long as they find an excuse to do it for the good of the alliance?
Besides, we're not even sure if she possesses a supernatural ability or a spatial storage device. If we kill her and still don't get the space, wouldn't we have wasted our time and lost a mobile storage unit for nothing?
Qiu Man was somewhat dejected; he hadn't expected the Grand Alliance Official to speak so frankly with him. He, too, had his own reservations about this matter.
The two remained silent for a long time. Finally, Qiu Man came up with a somewhat insidious plan.
"We don't need to deliberately hide her special abilities; we believe there will always be someone willing to take the risk for this legendary artifact."
At that time, the guards will remain uninvolved, or even fan the flames, and then punish the wicked and reap the benefits.
In this way, we can gain space without bearing the infamy of harming the masses, achieving the best of both worlds.
However, if the space were to dissipate upon the host's death, we would have suffered a greater loss.
After hearing this, General Li nodded, "Although Yuan Ruoxi is not a good person, she can still play a great role if used well."
With the armed force of the guards to suppress her, there's no fear that she won't cooperate.
Before receiving any supplies, the types and quantities are recorded in detail to prevent her from embezzling them.
Of course, if she can truly reform herself, giving her a chance to work for the guard team is not out of the question.
In short, whether she lives or dies, do everything possible to make full use of her remaining value.
"yes!"
At this moment, two people with lofty ideals simultaneously became villains, exposing their darkest thoughts to each other.
Moreover, the two decided that they should send someone they trusted to carry out the mission.
Otherwise, if this gets out, it will affect each other's reputations and the Qinghua people's trust in the Qinghe Alliance.
Therefore, after discussing it with Qiu Man, Chief Alliance Officer Li decided that Li Sikai would lead the team to carry out this secret mission.
The time is uncertain, the outcome is uncertain, and everything is in their own hands.
As for why General Li trusts Li Sikai so much, one can guess a bit from the fact that they both share the same surname, Li.
That's right, they are related, and they are very close uncle and nephew.
However, this information was deliberately hidden. Apart from a few big shots, everyone else regarded Li Sikai as an ordinary person with outstanding abilities.
So, after learning about the mission, Li Sikai and several elite members of the Imperial Capital Guard set off for Su City and began making a series of arrangements.
----------
Since the Lunar New Year, the temperature in Qinghua Kingdom has started to rise.
In Haishi, on sunny days, wearing a down jacket outdoors feels exceptionally hot and humid.
Therefore, many people have switched to wool and leather coats, which not only keep them warm but also make them look better.
However, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan continued to wear down jackets as always, only occasionally switching to their mink coats when they got tired of them.
Because a sudden cold snap in spring is no joke; people with twins can't stand such temperature changes.
Just like at the end of February, when the temperature had already risen to twelve or thirteen degrees, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, the wind blew, and a rain or snow fell, causing the temperature in Shanghai to drop below zero in an instant.
Young men and women who pursue beauty have all caught colds without exception due to the sudden change in weather.
However, because Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were wrapped up tightly, they did not feel the biting cold at all. On the contrary, their originally hot bodies felt a sense of comfort.
Haha, don't gloat like that. Because they'll soon be proven wrong.
After three days of rain and snow, the sky finally cleared up in Haishi.
The warm sunshine shone down, taking away the winter chill.
The temperature in Shanghai skyrocketed once again, but with the lessons learned from the past, none of them dared to underestimate the power of the late spring cold snap.
But the climate there is unpredictable; it's so hot you can't stand it!
So, under the scorching sun, everyone experienced a seven-day costume show.
On the first day, I wore a sweater, wool pants, and a down jacket.
The next day, I wore a sweater, long underwear, and a thick coat.
On the third day, I wore thermal underwear and a thick coat.
On the third day, I wore thermal underwear and a light jacket.
On the fifth day, I wore an outer thermal undershirt and a pair of trousers.
On the sixth day, I wore a short-sleeved shirt and sandals.
On the seventh day, let's go straight to summer clothes!
You don't believe me? Then do you believe that the temperature in Haishi could rise directly from -5 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees Celsius in a week?
Haha, the abnormal weather made you call me "Dad"!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were proven wrong. To hell with the late spring cold snap, to hell with the temperature dropping, it's so hot, who would dare to bundle up so tightly?
However, their costume show ended on the fifth day.
Even though it was a bit hot, the two of them were still wearing long sleeves and trousers.
To put it bluntly, it was all for the sake of Bi Qiaoan's health, as her swollen belly couldn't withstand any further discomfort.
