Chapter 276 Discovering the Secret
In the dark night, flames rose. Li Yuan asked people to pile up firewood and cremate Wu Liang's body.
Jiang Mei hugged her two sons and burst into tears.
Li Yuan walked over, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My condolences!"
Jiang Mei said hoarsely, "I don't blame you. This is probably our fate."
Before going home, Ye Li went to Li Yunkai first and told him to fill the border tomorrow and relocate the unresettled tribal people into the empty tree houses. He also asked him to convey to Li Sangtian and ask Li Sangtian to bring people to inspect the fields on the second elder's side tomorrow. The crops that can be used should continue to be tended and allowed to grow. The crops that cannot be used should be dug up as soon as possible so that other crops can be planted.
After giving the instructions, Ye Li walked home, accompanied by her attendants to protect her safety.
The tribe was a little dark at night, and could only be illuminated by the light coming from the tree house in the distance.
There were two people talking in front. Ye Li listened to the voices and felt that they were familiar. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that they were Chong Ling and his boyfriend Zheng Tianning.
Ye Li was about to leave when she suddenly heard Chong Ling mention Xiao Xun's name. She couldn't help but stop and stretched out her hand to signal the servants to stop and not make any noise.
"Wow, this is going to cause trouble!" Chong Ling exclaimed. She held up a shiny object in her hand and showed it to Zheng Tianning. "Tianning, look at this. Madam Xiao announced that the Lord of the Holy City, Xiao Xun, is engaged to Lei Ming's daughter, Lei Keman. Lei Keman has been promoted to Xiao Xun's fiancée. Oh my god! How can Xiao Xun be engaged to Lei Keman when he's here? Let's go ask the Lord of the City to find out what's going on."
Zheng Tianning nodded in agreement and said, "As the Lord of the Holy City, Xiao Xun really shouldn't stay outside for so long."
He turned two corners and walked towards Ye Li.
Chong Ling ran into Ye Li standing in the dark and was shocked: "Sister Ye Li, why are you here?" She showed an awkward smile on her pretty face, and secretly hid the things in her hand behind her back.
"What are you holding?" Ye Li smiled faintly, without any fluctuation on his face.
"Nothing." Chong Ling asked quickly: "Why are you here? What were you doing just now?"
"Give it to me!" Ye Li's face turned cold, and his horror was comparable to that of a zombie.
"Okay, alright." Chong Ling handed the thing in her hand to Ye Li. She had pressed the power off button in an emergency just now. This kind of thing was only available in the Holy City, and Sister Ye Li should not be able to use it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Li flipped through it twice, pressed the power button on the side, and the screen lit up instantly.
Chongling felt panicky. Could it be that Ye Li heard what she had just said to her boyfriend?
"What's the password?" Ye Li looked at the interface text that required a password input.
"What code? I don't understand what you mean." Chong Ling tried to get away with it. She said, "This is just a flashlight for lighting."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, no, how could I treat you as a fool, Sister Ye Li? This is just a light, why do you need a password?"
Ye Li looked at her coldly and said, "We call this a mobile phone. We use it for communication. I don't know what you call it."
Chong Ling's eyes widened. Wasn't Ye Li from the outside world? How did she know about this? Could there be other modern cities besides the Holy City?
"Password, are you going to give it to me or not?"
"No!" Chong Ling refused outright. If Ye Li were to enter the system and see those messages, the city lord would tear her to pieces!
Ye Li pointed at Zheng Tianning and ordered, "Catch him! Beat him to death!"
"You, what are you doing? If you want to vent your anger, just come to me. Our Tianning didn't provoke you."
Ye Li said: "Do it!"
Ye Li's attendants immediately stepped forward and restrained Zheng Tianning. One of them walked over and punched Zheng Tianning in the stomach.
"Ah..." Zheng Tianning cried out in pain, his face wrinkled with pain.
