Su Chengnan's consciousness was trapped in darkness.
After a long time.
When she thought she was going to die again, a point of light finally appeared. It continued to expand and gradually became a dazzling curtain of light...
A few seconds later, she saw a scene that looked like a holographic projection...
The border was breached by the enemy army. The foreign tribes colluded and marched south, burning, killing, and looting in the Central Plains. The heavy troops of the Yong Kingdom were only concerned with retreating to the imperial city. The entire Central Plains was ravaged by the war, with corpses strewn everywhere and the people suffering...
Ningguta was located in the northern part of Yong State. Not only was it the first to be attacked by the enemy, it was also nearly massacred and was abandoned early.
The scene stopped abruptly.
Su Chengnan frowned. What does this mean?
drop!
The screen lit up again.
A sentence appeared above: Lifespan countdown: three hundred days.
? ? ? ! ! !
Su Chengnan was confused.
What do you mean? I only have 300 days to live?
The picture flashed and the second sentence came.
Defend Ningguta and become the king of the north. The power of faith will prolong your life...
drop!
The screen went black and Su Chengnan was forced to open his eyes.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister!"
"Mi Feng, you are truly amazing! My sister really woke up."
"My medical skills are naturally great."
Two faces, a man and a woman, came into view.
Su Chengnan was still immersed in the strange incident that had just happened, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while. Su Linhua was worried that she might have some sequelae, so she pushed her hurriedly and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Look what this is!"
She stretched out her hand and gestured a number, and Su Chengnan said in disgust: "Two!"
"It's okay, I'm not stupid."
"Second Miss, please move aside. I'll take her pulse again."
Mi Feng was used to being free and unrestrained in Penglai Valley, and had no awareness of the strict rules between men and women. He simply grabbed Su Chengnan's hand and started taking his pulse.
Su Chengnan looked at him in confusion, wondering why this doctor was so young.
"Yes, the pulse is stable."
"Thank you." She pulled her hand back and slowly sat up.
Lu Chaofeng coughed lightly at the door, but Mi Feng pretended not to hear. Su Chengnan looked down at the clothes he had changed and the surroundings, then he remembered that he was in Lu Chaofeng's villa.
"Miss, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, thank you, doctor."
"Okay, then you should get more rest. You can call me anytime if anything happens."
"Okay, thank you."
Mi Feng smiled and nodded, then stood up and left.
Su Chengnan heard Lu Chaofeng leaving with him, and then he grabbed Su Linhua's hand in fear, crying, "It's over..."
Su Linhua was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
She was about to speak, but then she changed her mind, thinking that this was a separate courtyard and there might be ears on the walls. She said, "I'm still a little dizzy, and my second sister is frightened. Why don't you lie down with me for a while?"
"I do not need……"
Su Linhua shook her head, then suddenly felt a pain in her arm and nodded hastily. "Ah! Okay, I'll take a break too."
The two people fell headfirst into the space.
As soon as Su Chengnan came in, his face turned as black as ink and he said, "It's over. He won't live long!"
"What?! Sis, don't scare me!"
"Defend Ningguta for three hundred days. If you can't, I don't know if you will die, but I'm afraid I'll die."
"Guarding Ninggu Pagoda? Sister, what are you talking about?"
Su Chengnan told her and Su Weimin what had just happened. The three of them were tied together, and if she lost her life, the other two would have a hard time surviving either.
"what?!"
"It's going to be chaos."
Su Linhua and Su Weimin spoke at the same time.
"What should we do now? We are still a long way from Ningguta. We haven't even arrived yet, and you're still talking about defending Ningguta." Su Linhua frowned.
Su Chengnan said seriously: "War is a money-burning business. You need money, people and food to fight."
Su Weimin: "Nan girl, did you see clearly who the enemy is?"
"They were armed with scimitars and dressed in furs, like a grassland tribe. But one group had distinct characteristics: they had long hair draped over their shoulders, and there were bears among them!"
"White Bear Nation! And the tribes to the west and north of the Great Wall are all eyeing the Central Plains covetously. I'm afraid they all have a stake in it."
"White Bear Country?"
"Well, these people are ambitious and have been targeting Dayong for a long time! Back then, they relied on gunpowder and almost broke through the border defenses. It was the Emperor who personally led the army to defend the border, and they were forced to retreat after running out of food and fodder. Over the years, they have come to pay tribute every few years, hoping to get to know us better."
"Gunpowder..." Su Chengnan murmured, and suddenly her eyebrows raised, "Old man, why didn't you tell Sun Liangyuan that he was the one who studied gunpowder!"
Su Weimin's expression froze, and he began to look evasive. "I..."
"You what?"
"I saw it on that brain. The gunpowder you have there is so powerful. Bang! It can even blow up a mountain..."
"Empress Dowager Xiao's faction is weak-willed. Liangyuan won't be able to develop here. We're taking him away for his own good, but... human life is precious, and we don't necessarily have to use gunpowder... I'm afraid you won't agree..."
"You are confused!" Su Chengnan was very disappointed.
"In the clash of cold weapons and hot weapons, what's the point of these swords and shields? Only when we are strong will the enemy dare not attack! They are powerful, so we must be even more powerful than them!"
Su Weimin said excitedly, "Of course I know this! Do you know how many people died in the artillery fire back then? Such a weapon would be a devastating blow to anyone."
"So we should have it sooner rather than later!! If White Bear Country's bombs rain down on us, do you think we'll have a place to cry?"
"Well, then you must kidnap Sun Liangyuan even if you have to! The Grandfather once ordered people to study him for a period of time, and the King's uncle has been searching for the whereabouts of those people for years. I was afraid that he would harm others, so I hid them in Ningguta."
Su Chengnan looked at him with a half-smile. After half a year of dealing with him, this old fox Su Weimin must have been well prepared. He had just spoken so tactfully, but the whole time he was testing her. Old fox!
"Alright, keep fiddling with the models. I'll try to find Sun Liangyuan first."
"Yes! We must find him!"
Su Linhua was silent for a long time. At the moment when the two finished talking, she suddenly realized, "Then I will be responsible for making money!"
"Make money?" Su Weimin was puzzled. How?
"It means making money." Su Linhua explained with her tongue out.
"I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything else I can use to make some unique delicacies. I'll sell the recipe. Anyway, with Lu Chaofeng as the sucker here, he'll be willing to pay."
Su Chengnan said unhappily, "Lu Chaofeng is thinking of doing business because he's short of money. The border is in crisis and the food and grass won't last long. The court can't be relied upon, so he can only rely on himself."
Su Weimin was anxious: "The border is entirely supported by the prince! You can't have any other thoughts!"
The two nodded: "Got it."
