Chapter 240 The fun has just begun
Su Nuan immediately bent down and listened carefully. She felt that Ling Cang's breath was a little cold, so she took out the bear skin and covered him with it.
Ling Cang's eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles, and his whole demeanor softened.
After listening to Ling Cang's words, Su Nuan walked to the iron pot, picked up a piece of meat with a dagger and started eating.
"This is braised meat. It used to cost a hundred coins per pound in the capital. Now you wouldn't even dare to eat it even if I gave it to you for free. I might as well keep it and enjoy it slowly."
Cheng Feng and Li Shitou brought people to watch the show. When they saw Su Nuan eating, they couldn't sit still anymore.
"Sister, please be gentle with your mouth. I haven't eaten yet."
Li Shitou also shouted: "Aunt, please leave me some bones to chew on!"
Su Nuan frowned. What she said was ridiculous. She was not a pig, so how could she eat it all?
Cheng Feng and his men surrounded the pot, and they had a great time eating meat and drinking soup.
Su Nuan retreated to the periphery and glanced at the person lying on the ground. His eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, two men with ordinary faces came to him, one grabbed his head, and the other took out a black ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
The monkey-faced man immediately shouted, "Help..."
Su Nuan quickly walked over and kicked the two men away, using skillful force this time. The two men rolled on the ground in pain.
The sharp-nosed monkey-faced man burst into tears and said, "I know you know medicine. Please save me! They are trying to poison me to death."
Su Nuan sneered, "It would be better if I poisoned you to death. I won't save you."
The monkey-faced man yelled, "If you don't save me, I'll say I was poisoned by the broth, and then none of you will survive."
Su Nuan squatted down and asked, "What does your death have to do with us? Why can't we live?"
The sharp-nosed monkey pleaded again, "If I die, they'll think everything I say is true and won't help you resist the enemy. Then you'll die anyway, won't you?"
Su Nuan laughed, "You're wrong. I have a hundred ways to resist the enemy. Why don't I take action? Because I want these people to see the reality clearly."
"We must unite to survive in the North, otherwise we will be wiped out by the barbarians."
"Of course, the ones who died were definitely not our Ling family or those who listened to our Ling family."
The guy with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks still had some brains, and he immediately figured out the key to the matter.
"You mean you wouldn't be afraid of foreign enemies without these people?"
Su Nuan nodded, "That's right, my beasts haven't eaten meat for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to eat some meat with them."
"Also, you know I'm skilled in medicine. I have plenty of drugs and incense. The enemies on the other side will be knocked unconscious as soon as they arrive, and become lambs to be slaughtered."
The sharp-nosed monkey finally broke down and cried, "Save me! They are behind my orders! They are all from Kyoto. I can't afford to offend them."
Su Nuan picked him up and said, "Tell the villagers, what's the point of you telling me."
The sharp-nosed monkey immediately shouted, "I slandered General Ling. He wasn't a deserter at all. If I hadn't said that, those people would have killed me."
The villagers' attention was drawn to the people who ate meat, and now they glared at him angrily when they heard this.
The other two people hiding in the crowd looked gloomy, and one of them shouted, "What truth can you possibly tell me? Do you think this woman has bewitched you with some kind of magic?"
Another person also joined in, "That's right, that woman is not a good person. She must be using witchcraft to deceive people."
The monkey-faced man glared and shouted, "Bullshit, I'm sober now. Your accomplices fed me poison and tried to kill me, then said I was poisoned by the broth, so they could stop you from eating meat."
"When the time comes, you will be so scared that you won't eat meat. You will be starving and will surely be killed by foreign enemies. Only then will the northern land be cleared and those people in the capital city will be able to sleep peacefully."
Su Nuan was a little surprised. She originally thought that it was aimed at the Ling family, but now it seems that it is aimed at the entire North.
She asked, "Those people want to turn the North into a deadly place? Isn't there anyone coming later?"
The sharp-nosed monkey-faced man held his stomach, grimacing in pain, but he still insisted, "I want to turn the entire North into a deadly place."
"Because the exiled prisoners who came here were all wrongly accused by them. They said they were going to kill everyone."
Su Nuan looked at Ling Cang in astonishment. This was a serious matter and not as simple as she had originally thought.
Sure enough, Ling Cang also showed an expression of surprise. He did not expect that the real purpose of those people was to destroy the entire North.
Su Nuan took out an antidote pill and threw it over, "Take it, it can detoxify."
The man with the pointed nose and monkey cheek quickly grabbed the pill from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth along with the dirt and swallowed it.
After a moment, his expression softened. "Thank you. Actually, I know that I'll die whether I tell you or not! In that case, why not let everyone know?"
"The capital is in chaos. The old emperor is doing nothing and is robbing his officials of their money."
"He was afraid of rebellion, so he kept exiling the various tribes. Some people were killed along the way. The fact that you were able to get here safely is entirely because Ling Cang and his family protected you."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow. This person... is a fence-sitter? Is the fence-sitter so soft now? He would fall even without a breeze.
She silently retreated back to Ling Cang, always feeling that something was not right, but with her intelligence she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The space spirit sent her a message: "Don't think too much. It's a waste of brain cells. You're only suitable to be a thug. You can hit wherever you are told."
"Oh, by the way, Zhao Jingcheng is looking at you and seems to have something to say to you."
Su Nuan saw it mention Zhao Jingcheng and asked, "What's wrong? There's no time to care about him right now. Go and help me knock him out."
The space spirit's big eyes turned into two crescent moons, and a sly smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "Okay."
It suddenly stuck its head out and stretched its neck.
Zhao Jingcheng, who was concentrating on staring at Su Nuan, suddenly found that his vision darkened. When he looked closely, he saw a big face full of fangs. He was so scared that he opened his mouth to scream.
The Space Spirit's leaf hands opened left and right, snapping...
Unfortunately, after just a few hits, Zhao Jingcheng fainted without a sound.
The space spirit was startled, then heaved a sigh of relief after sniffing, "He's still alive, run away!"
Su Nuan didn't see what the space spirit did. In fact, even if she saw it, she wouldn't say anything. As long as Zhao Jingcheng didn't come to bother her at this critical moment, it would be fine.
Because of his double-dealing nature, the villagers now don’t know which of his statements to believe.
In fact, most people believed that the meat was not poisonous, because Cheng Feng and his friends ate it with great relish and they did not seem to be poisoned.
Su Nuan simply scooped up a piece of meat, put it in a bowl and brought it to Ling Cang, "Want some?"
Ling Cang smiled softly, "The real show is coming next."
Su Nuan found that her brain was not enough. Even if it was twice as long, she could not guess what Ling Cang would do next.
