Chapter 493 How about playing a big game
Su Nuan bewitched him, "You're just a motherless kid, and your father has been bewitched by his concubine, wanting her to give birth to a son who will become the crown prince."
"Now that you are not dead, it means that these people failed. When they return, neither the Marquis nor the concubine will let them go."
"When the Northland was first built, everyone had work to do and every family had a house. It's easiest to join the Northland now. Once the Northland is built, those who go there will have to pay a resettlement fee, and the houses won't be free; you'll have to buy them yourself."
"If it were me, instead of going back to die, I would rather take my family and live somewhere else. It would be so much better to be free."
The ones who live comfortably in troubled times are bachelors, while anyone with a direct relative wants a stable life.
So those who were saved by Su Nuan stood behind Su Nuan, not only for their lives, but also for the grace of saving their lives.
The eldest young master laughed wildly when he saw this scene, but he did not show any angry expression after laughing.
He said, "Anyway, the people in the Marquis' Mansion are already dead, so you can take these people I don't know away."
Su Nuan crossed her arms and looked at the young master with contempt. "It's my ability that allowed these people to leave with me. It has nothing to do with you. Don't talk to me with that kind of alms attitude."
You are crazy and I am crazy too, let's see who is crazier.
The young master looked Su Nuan up and down several times before looking away. "Can you give me a horse? I want to go back."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, I thought you guys would be able to reach Hancheng soon, but it turns out you didn't get very far."
The eldest young master's eyes flashed, "It is you who took away our horse."
Su Nuan did not deny it. "Who told you to sleep so soundly? It's not my fault. Besides, we in the north need a lot of horses to pull the carts."
The young man imitated Su Nuan, crossed his arms, and said, "Not only did you take my horse, but you also want to take my people away. Then, what am I to do in this crusade?"
Su Nuan smiled slightly, "You're unlucky."
The eldest young master chuckled, "Okay, it's just my bad luck. If the food wasn't so scarce that I had to start early, then you would be the one who got in trouble."
Su Nuan was too lazy to argue with him and asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"
The eldest young master didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He thought for a while before saying, "I haven't thought about doing anything to the people in the North. My goal is to bring these people out and kill them."
"This way I can return to the Marquis' Mansion with ease, so I am no threat to you."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, you are a threat to me. Who knows if you will come to rob my food in the north in the future?"
Su Nuan looked around and saw that the place had not been eaten by locusts, so they didn't know about the locusts yet.
"It seems you don't know that the locusts have come. The north has been hit by disasters and there is not much food now."
"I want to take these people to your city and bring out some food. How about we cooperate?"
The young master began to hesitate again. His eyes fell on the corpses, and he finally asked, "How do we cooperate?"
Su Nuan replied: "First tell me what is the stumbling block for you to become the prince."
The eldest young master replied: "Bai Yi Niang's maternal family and Mr. Feng's power."
Su Nuan touched her chin, her mind racing, and as it raced, she began to feel ill.
She grinned, "Want to play a big one?"
The eldest young master frowned. He didn't think the little girl in front of him could come up with any big plans.
But he didn't feel that he disliked the person in front of him, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Su Nuan stretched out her hand, raised her index finger and hooked it.
The eldest young master felt like he was possessed by a demon. He walked over to Su Nuan and listened attentively.
After Su Nuan finished explaining the plan, she smiled and asked, "How is it?"
The eldest young master frowned, "But... it's a bit embarrassing."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. I don't feel ashamed. If those old foxes find out that we've tricked them, they'll be the ones to be embarrassed."
The young master pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'll take you back."
After saying that, she took out a pen and paper from her backpack, wrote a note, and then looked at those people.
"Who among you is willing to take the note I gave you and head to the Northland?"
A middle-aged man said, "I do."
The others immediately became anxious and started talking at once.
"What about us? Can't we go?"
"Yes, we are willing to go to the North."
"I also want to take my family to the North."
"Me too……"
Su Nuan raised her hand to suppress the chaotic scene, "Don't worry, a note can allow you all to settle down in the North."
"You don't think I'm going to write you over two hundred notes, do you?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "They are also afraid that they can't enter the Northland."
After saying this, he turned around and held up the note in his hand, saying, "It says on this note that anyone who follows with the note will be provided with accommodation, so don't worry."
Everyone finally quieted down.
Su Nuan looked at the young master and said, "My name is Su Nuan, the deputy city lord of the Northland."
The young master was stunned. He didn't expect that such a young girl would be the deputy city lord.
A sense of frustration emerged in his heart. She was so young and a woman, but she could be the deputy city lord.
And I, a seven-foot-tall man, am still fighting tooth and nail for the tiny position of crown prince.
He finally lowered his proud head and said, "My name is Ouyang Xing."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Then let's go, Ouyang Xing."
Ouyang Xing turned his head to look at the pile of dead bodies, sadness in his eyes, "I'll bury two people first."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
From the letter, it can be seen that the coachman and a guard were Ouyang Xing's men, but they were dead.
Su Nuan took out a bag of compressed grains from her backpack. "Um... what's your name?"
The middle-aged man who received the note said, "My name is Ouyang Luo."
Su Nuan nodded. "Okay, these grains are enough to support you to reach the Northland. Each person only needs to eat two grains per meal. You will be thirsty after eating. There are many puddles along the way. You can boil water to drink."
After saying that, she took out a folding iron pot that could boil one liter of water.
Ouyang Luo looked at the folding iron pot in surprise, "Yes, thank you, Deputy City Lord."
Su Nuan waved her hand, "Let's go, hurry up..."
"By the way, Hancheng is gone. Don't even think about going there for supplies."
Ouyang Luo didn't have the courage to ask why, he immediately called people and started on his way.
These people all had swords on them, and Su Nuan did not surrender. If they had other intentions, Ling Cang would deal with them.
If they have no other thoughts and really want to settle down, then these people will be a good defensive force.
Su Nuan looked at Ouyang Xing, who was digging a hole with his sword.
If we keep digging like this, how long will it take to bury those two people?
Su Nuan walked over and took out a short-handled shovel from her backpack. She pulled out the hidden rod inside and twisted it twice to make a very handy small shovel.
"Here, I'll lend it to you."
Ouyang Xing's eyes widened, his sadness diluted by surprise. He asked, "You... are a monster, right?"
