Chapter 394: Setting Fire at the First Sign of Disagreement
Su Nuan was not vague either. When she heard that there was something underneath, she directly lifted the grass.
She shook the turf and said, "Oh, this is interesting. Grass can be grown on straw mats."
The space spirit said, "What's this? It's just a lawn. But people at this time probably wouldn't think about that."
Su Nuan nodded. Who would have thought of using straw mats to grow grass? Even when it was laid at the entrance of the cellar, you couldn't tell there was something hidden underneath.
Now was not the time to think about these things, so she threw the sod aside, bent down and opened the cellar door.
There was a musty smell down there, but luckily there was no poisonous gas.
Su Nuan climbed down the ladder to the bottom and shone the flashlight inside. There were three cabinets as tall as a person. The doors were closed and no one knew what was inside.
She walked curiously to the cabinet on her left, opened the door and smelled the fragrance of medicine.
The place is filled with brocade boxes, and the cabinets are also filled with lime blocks and charcoal to prevent moisture. It can be seen that these brocade boxes contain good things.
Su Nuan simply took away the cabinets. The small cellar was not very spacious without the cabinets.
The space spirit said, "It's very humid here, why would you put the herbs here?"
Su Nuan guessed, "Maybe it was put there temporarily. Don't worry about it. Let's go."
The backyard of the pharmacy was not very big, so Su Nuan didn't find anything good.
Before leaving, Su Nuan scattered a handful of antidote, fearing that it would be bad if the fire spread to the backyard and killed someone who shouldn't have died.
Although those people woke up, they were too weak to do anything but watch the fire rage without being able to put it out.
Su Nuan went out and didn't see Xiaotian, so she felt a little worried.
"I don't know where Xiaotian went. Is he in danger?"
The space spirit said: "I don't think so. Everyone who is awake is going to put out the fire, so no one should pay attention to him."
Su Nuan nodded, feeling somewhat comforted.
Before he could even relax, he heard someone shout, "There's a fire in the east of the city. That's Mr. Liu's house. Go put it out!"
Su Nuan hid in the shadows of the alley, watching the people run towards the east of the city.
There were cries from the drugstore again, "Don't leave, we'll pay you too, pay you too..."
Su Nuan almost couldn't help laughing out loud. The people here were smart and knew that they could gain benefits by putting out the fire for the official.
Now the people who are putting out the fire at the drug store are all the neighbors. They dare not leave, because if they leave, the fire will spread to the whole storehouse.
Su Nuan looked for a while, and suddenly Xiaotian's voice came from behind her.
"Nuannuan."
Su Nuan looked back at Xiaotian and saw that his eyes were a little red, but he had no injuries on his body.
"I'm glad you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiaotian opened his mouth but said nothing.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "You can handle your family's affairs yourself. I won't interfere. But if you need my help, just tell me. I will definitely not refuse to help you if I can."
Xiaotian smiled and asked, "There are some things I don't care about, but others do. They think I care, so they list me as an enemy."
"I quite like life in the North. Watching the city being built bit by bit, I feel very proud."
"But they... just won't let me go. I really don't want to steal anything."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became and the more depressed his expression became.
Su Nuan was extremely protective of her people. She had long considered these people from the North as her friends. Now that she saw Xiaotian so upset, she also felt upset.
"Then you might as well go and rob, because you won't be at peace if you don't. Take what belongs to you and leave them with nothing to rob."
Xiaotian shook his head, "Let me think about it."
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's meet outside the city."
It’s not appropriate to ask Xiaotian too many questions now. I’ll just wait until he wants to talk and then listen to his story.
The two took advantage of the chaos to get outside the city. Xiaotian looked back and said, "I went to find a few families. They acted like fence-sitters, so I burned their things."
Su Nuan paused and looked back at Xiaotian, "So you were the one who started the other fire?"
Xiaotian nodded and looked at Su Nuan nervously, afraid that she would say that she shouldn't have set the fire.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's good. When someone here goes to the North to seek refuge, you must keep a close watch on them. Don't accept any of those you don't like."
Xiaotian didn't expect that Su Nuan would let him check and decide where to send people he didn't like. This was a great trust and indulgence.
He suddenly felt that he, a floating creature, had found a place to rely on. From now on, the North would be his home, and he had to guard it well.
A light flashed in his eyes and he nodded seriously, "Okay, I promise to guard the house."
Su Nuan thought the wording was odd, but didn't think much of it. "Okay, let's catch up. I wonder how far the high priest has gone."
Xiaotian looked at the ground, pointed to the road on the right and said, "Go that way."
Su Nuan nodded. There were tire tracks on the ground, which showed that they had taken away a lot of gold and silver.
The two chased for five or six miles before they saw the convoy. Most of the people were knocked down, and only a small circle of people surrounded the priest and confronted Ling Cang and his men in disguise.
The high priest said with a cold face: "Are you the Seventh Prince's men?"
Ling Cang sneered, "Don't worry about who we belong to. We want all the gold and silver today."
The high priest said angrily: "I am the Second Prince's man. You should know that our Second Prince is the legitimate heir to the throne."
Ling Cang didn't care who the heir was and snorted coldly.
Li Fengxing looked very excited. He laughed strangely and said, "Don't think that there are only a few heirs in line. Hand over the silver quickly."
Lei Wuya was not interested in gold and silver, and yawned lazily.
Su Nuan, who was hiding in the dark, held his forehead with his hand. This was a bit silly. The opposite escort team had been defeated, and the rest were weaklings. He could just go up and take it. Why asked them to hand it over?
Xiaotian was also trying to hold back his laughter, but he portrayed the gangster spirit perfectly.
Su Nuan whispered, "Are these soldiers all the troops in the city?"
Xiaotian took a look and nodded, "Almost. Maybe some of them are reluctant to go with them, so they can stay."
Su Nuan grinned, "Do you think the light armor on these people is wasted?"
Xiaotian squinted his eyes and looked at it. "These are made of wild boar skin and bison skin. It takes a lot of effort. It will be good to use them when you take them back."
"A bamboo bow and arrow cannot penetrate it. Only a person with supernatural powers can do so."
Su Nuan became excited and started counting with her fingers.
"Eighty-three in total. Speaking of which, the military strength of this border city is a bit too weak."
Xiaotian smiled slightly. This kind of place was originally abandoned. How many troops could there be?
Eighty-three? Does that include the high priest's set?
Su Nuan looked up at the stars. It was impossible to transport all this gold and silver back by birds, but it would be okay to transport it to the river.
Otherwise, it would be dawn before we finished delivering all the items, and besides, these birds wouldn’t have enough strength to hold on.
She said, "Xiaotian, go back and call Brother Cheng, and ask him to bring Xiao Shitou over to get the gold."
Xiaotian pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you trust Cheng Feng so much?"
