"Because the wound on the tenth brother's body had not healed yet, his movements were a little slow, so the soldiers kept whipping him to urge him on. When the second brother saw that he was almost beaten to death, he rushed forward to protect him! As a result, they beat him even more fiercely!" The man said with red eyes.
"Yes, we can testify! Every word is true."
"That's right! That's it!"
"This is simply not treating us as human beings. They want to beat us to death."
Others around echoed.
"You're so slow. If we delay the defense of the city, who will bear the consequences?!"
"What's wrong with me hitting you? What is there that I can't beat or touch about you criminals?" The man who was pinned down by Bing San screamed at the top of his lungs, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
The emotions of these exiled people became increasingly agitated, especially after Su Chengnan appeared. They wanted even more to seek justice for the injured.
"enough!"
Su Chengnan scolded.
Everyone shut up.
"Come here, send these two men down to be treated for their injuries! Lock this soldier who assaulted us in the dungeon and make him reflect on his actions for three days!"
"Why are you locking me up?!" he continued shouting.
Bingsan didn't say anything and slapped him several times, breaking his jaw.
“@¥%……!¥%!&”
"Miss Su! Are you going too far?"
"What's wrong?" Su Chengnan looked over with a smile.
"You, a woman, have entered the City Lord's Mansion without proper authority! Although everyone is saying that you are the Ningyuan Prince's woman! But we don't accept it. You don't have an official position, so why do you control us?"
“@%¥……!%!……!@¥%” The man whose jaw had just been removed was kicking desperately, expressing himself with actions.
The secret guards didn't care about that and went up to stop these people with force.
This time, Su Chengnan didn't stop the secret guards. With the war imminent, she had to make sure everyone obeyed! Ningguta must not be defeated, otherwise her and Su Linhua's lives would be in danger.
She raised her chin and said sternly, "From today on, no officer or soldier in Ningguta will be allowed to oppress the people without reason, whether they are innocent citizens, refugees, or even those exiled from Dayong! Everyone has human rights. All actions must be reasonable and legal within the system and follow the arrangements. You cannot and absolutely will not allow officers and soldiers to beat or scold you! If anyone disobeys, you can report them. We will not tolerate it!"
"Thank you, miss!"
"Thank you, Miss! We will definitely follow your instructions and will not cheat or try to get away with anything."
"We don't listen to what you say!" Some people were protesting.
"Don't want to listen? Then go to the dungeon and reflect together." Su Chengnan said coldly.
After hearing what she said, the secret guard gave the man a stab blow, and he fainted instantly.
"Well, everyone, get up! Hurry up and get busy!"
"Yes!"
……
Stone transport team, resume operations.
Baskets of stones were brought in an orderly fashion toward the city wall. These stones were carefully selected, each at least as big as a human head! Of course, there were also some massive stones.
It was already late at night when Su Chengnan returned to the city wall with them.
"Miss, why don't you go back and rest first?" Bingsan advised.
"Don't worry. Mr. Sun will take his men out to set up simple mines soon. I'm worried. I'll go back and rest after he comes back. I won't be able to sleep when I go back either. It's okay."
"Simplified landmine?" Qingshan was puzzled. He had just come back from doing something and was unclear about some things, so he interrupted.
When Su Chengnan saw him coming back, he exclaimed, "You're finally back. I just happened to have something to ask you."
"Please speak, Miss." Qingshan lowered his head.
"You said before that Penglai Valley sent someone with excellent medical skills. Do you know where he is?" Su Chengnan was still thinking about Shaowei.
Qingshan frowned slightly and thought for a while, "According to the time, it should arrive in the next two days, but is there something wrong?"
Su Chengnan quickly recounted the discovery of processed spoon tails in the City Lord's Mansion's warehouse. "I'd like to ask the people from Penglai Valley to come and help us identify the medicinal properties and toxicity of these spoon tails. If they can be used to defend the city this time, that would be great!"
Qingshan nodded, "That's no problem! These two are not only good at treating illnesses, but they're also good at making poisons. I'll bring them to you when they arrive."
"Okay, please."
"It's my duty." Qingshan clasped his fists.
Then he continued to ask, "Miss, what is the simple landmine you just mentioned?" Qingshan looked a little confused and very curious.
Su Chengnan smiled and said, "Why don't we go and take a look now? It's just right that you are here to protect Mr. Sun's safety."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, miss."
……
The city gates are closed and heavily guarded.
Sun Liangyuan was leading his men to load things onto a carriage, preparing to go out of the city.
Su Chengnan and his group just caught up when they came over.
"Mr. Sun," she called.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Sun Liangyuan was surprised. He quickly stopped what he was doing and turned around to greet them.
"I'm worried about your safety, so let's go out of the city with you. With more people, we can move faster."
"No, no, you can't go!" Sun Liangyuan refused.
"I have their protection, it's okay." Su Chengnan didn't think it mattered.
"I can't live without you here. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to the Marquis? And I can't even explain it to the Crown Prince."
"No, we just won over an hour ago. They definitely haven't reacted yet. They won't dare to act rashly without knowing the truth!"
Su Chengnan wanted to leave the city because he wanted to secretly place some iron nails in the space on the mines while digging holes and burying mines, so that when they exploded, he could cause more extra damage to the other party.
But Sun Liangyuan sternly refused, "No!"
He even pointed at Bingsan and the others and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you just going to let your master do whatever he wants?! Be careful, or the Marquis will come to you in your dreams and scold you! Go back quickly, leave now."
After he yelled at them, Bingsan and his companions lowered their heads, looking as embarrassed as quails.
"Mr. Sun, please don't be angry. We are worried about your safety." Su Chengnan saw this and quickly eased the atmosphere. "How about this? I will stay in the carriage and never get out. Is that okay?"
"Then why bother going?"
In the end, Su Chengnan was unable to resist and had to take a step back, saying that he would go to the city wall to help them keep an eye on the enemy's movements, and all the secret guards were handed over to Sun Liangyuan to protect his safety.
"All right, then. Let's do it."
"set off!"
The city gate was opened from the inside to a gap about two people's width.
Sun Liangyuan waved his hand, got on the carriage and walked out.
"Be careful!"
"Don't worry, Miss. We will definitely protect Mr. Sun!"
"Well, go and come back quickly."
"Yes!"
