After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Murong Yun had never done such a thing before, so he could only cooperate. Only by burying the girl's father as soon as possible could he rush back and reunite with his sister.

Hei Lie didn't comment, just nodded lightly.

Murong Yun and Bai Rushuang entered the charity cemetery. A gloomy atmosphere instantly hit them. The entire charity cemetery was gloomy and lifeless.

In the courtyard and in the lobby, there are various coffins.

The owner of the charity cemetery looked pale and invited the two of them to come in and take a look. The best coffin was inside, so it was convenient for them to choose.

But just as he entered the room, Murong Yun felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted. The shopkeeper was somewhat helpless: "This is the prince of the dynasty, are we really going to do this?"

Bai Rushuang's face was no longer filled with sorrow. She simply said in a cold voice, "Do you intend to disobey His Highness's orders?"

"Of course I wouldn't," the shopkeeper said, a trace of shame flashing across his face. "If it weren't for Your Highness, we wouldn't be living the good life we ​​have today."

Yes, they were death warriors. If they had not been taken in by His Highness later, they would probably still be a group of people hiding in the mountains today, living a hiding life like rats.

Not to mention, His Highness provided them with housing and a cook, so not only did they have no worries about food and clothing, they also received a monthly salary.

If you go out on a mission, there will be additional travel allowances and bonuses.

Today, each of them has saved dozens of taels of silver, and they have no worries about life. Their lives are much better than before.

His Highness wants to train the little prince, so they naturally have to cooperate.

Anyway, with so many people watching in secret, I don't think anything will go wrong.

"Notify those people and tell them that we have found a great item..." Bai Rushuang said. The shopkeeper twitched his mouth and then went to the back door to give orders.

And Hei Lie, who was standing outside the door, directly lifted the mat and said in a calm voice: "Get up!"

The pale corpse on the cart suddenly came back to life, stood in front of Hei Lie, bowed and said, "Greetings, sir!"

Hei Lie waved his hand and then entered the charity cemetery.

Then he hid in the dark and watched the whole process, and saw with his own eyes a round-faced man in his forties, slightly overweight, enter the charity cemetery through the back door.

He then commented on the unconscious Murong Yun, and finally agreed on sixty-eight taels of silver before carrying him away.

In Hongfu Restaurant.

Li Huai'en was being very attentive to Zhong Ning. He picked up a piece of shredded chicken with sesame oil and put it on the small plate in front of Zhong Ning, and whispered:

"My dear, this dish is the latest creation of our restaurant's chef. Please try it and see how it tastes."

Zhong Ning tasted it and said lightly: "It's okay!"

Such a delicious dish was only just okay, which made Li Huai'en even more convinced that this person was a truly educated lady.

"My beauty, what is your name?"

"My last name is Ning..." Zhong Ning said calmly, her voice as gentle as broken jade. "One word: Rong!"

Li Huai'en's eyes lit up. The surname was Ning. Could it be a branch of the Lin'an Ning family?

The Lin'an Ning family is the most prominent family today.

Only a family like this can raise such an outstanding woman.

"Miss Ning, are you from the capital?"

"Well, my uncle is an official in Kyoto... and my mother happened to be ill, so I had to return to visit her!"

Zhong Ning had something in mind, but Li Huai'en already understood it.

Ning Yuanfeng, the Minister of Works, was the former head of the Lin'an Ning family.

Uncle, isn't he the one you're talking about?

"Why is that girl dressed like this?" He almost mistook her for a young woman from a poor family. Who would have thought she was actually a daughter of the Lin'an Ning clan?

Zhong Ning glanced at him calmly and replied, "Of course it's because we want to conceal our tracks. If it weren't for my brother meddling in our affairs, I'm afraid my daughter would have left this place long ago!"

Li Huai'en suddenly understood, that's right!

Who doesn’t know that aristocratic families are the richest?

If you don't hide your identity when you go out, you will definitely be robbed by passing robbers. Moreover, now that you think about it, you can tell at a glance that the black-clad guard has good martial arts skills.

It is said that wealthy families usually have secret guards. Maybe their secret guards are protecting people in secret, but no one knows about it.

After learning this, Li Huai'en looked at Zhong Ning with more eagerness. With his current status, it was impossible for him to marry a noble lady from Kyoto.

But if he could marry a daughter from a branch of a noble family, it would be a good marriage. What's more, this Miss Ning seemed to be highly valued by Lord Ning.

How can it not be considered as respect if you can specially bring people to Kyoto to enjoy a good life?

If he could marry Miss Ning, wouldn't he also be able to curry favor with Lord Ning? That's a second-rank minister.

If his father knew, he would definitely praise him for doing a good job!

Li Huai'en confirmed Zhong Ning's identity and paid more attention to her. He took very considerate care of her. Zhong Ning also had a pretty good meal very smoothly.

She had been accompanying Murong Yun these days, and the bumpy ride had almost broken her body. She urgently needed to find a soft couch to have a good rest.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning stroked her forehead slightly, seeming sleepy. Li Huai'en's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he immediately said in a gentle voice: "Miss Ning, you must be tired. I have prepared a room for you. I must make sure you live comfortably!"

"You're thoughtful, but..." Zhong Ning glanced sideways, his face filled with curiosity. "I thought you would take me home today, but it turns out I was overthinking..."

"No, no, no, I really want to take the girl back home, but I'm afraid of disturbing her..."

"Don't be too abrupt. I'm also curious about what your family is like. This way it would be better to inform the elders in your family..." Zhong Ning blinked, and Li Huai'en's heart softened immediately.

"Miss, what you said makes sense. Then come back home with me..." Li Huai'en wanted to take her back home immediately and didn't care about anything else at that moment.

Everyone just thought that the young master of the Li family had just abducted another commoner girl and brought the loot back home. They were not surprised by this, because the young master's father was the local official.

Xining City is not big, and it is the smallest among the three cities, but the area of ​​Li Mansion's backyard is not small.

This four-courtyard house is not much different from her princess mansion.

Although Xining City is closer to the imperial city, it appears rather mediocre because it is blocked by Xiyan and Dingyuan cities in front.

Originally, to get from the imperial city to Xining, one had to pass through the two cities of Dingyuan and Xiyan, but Zhong Ning deliberately took a detour, making a big circle from Futu Mountain and traveling for two more days before arriving at the south gate of Xining.

Of course, the main reason was to conceal the information that she was traveling incognito.

It was also to prevent someone in the court from deliberately waiting at Xiyan or Dingyuan city gate to investigate secretly.

Zhong Ning was settled by Li Huai'en in an exquisite attic in the guest house of Li Mansion.

The attic has a vermilion lacquer base and nanmu beams. The roof is inlaid with magnificent golden glazed tiles, and the green eaves are carved with various exquisite patterns.
