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

After hearing this, Ning Yuanzhou's whole body trembled slightly.

This is the case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

The daughter he had carefully nurtured, whom he thought was an important chess piece that could be used to restrain Wen Renye, disappeared out of thin air without anyone noticing.

Ning Yuanzhou angrily walked out of the underground dark room, and later came to a side courtyard of the Ning Mansion, an exquisitely decorated courtyard.

This place is recognized as a forbidden area in Ning Mansion.

Everyone knows that an eighth-rank warrior is enshrined here, and no one in the Ning residence is allowed to approach this place except the head of the family.

Ning Yuanzhou came here today because he really had no other choice. If Wen Renye was really protected by an eighth-grade warrior, how could he subdue the prefect?

Not to mention taming him, even killing him is just a dream.

"Mr. Liu..." Ning Yuanzhou bowed deeply and pleaded, "I really have no other options. Please come out of retirement!"

"Why are you so flustered?" Liu Cong was sitting in the dark, cross-legged, practicing internal skills. He was suddenly interrupted and opened his eyes with some dissatisfaction.

If there really was something wrong, it would be fine, but if it was just a trivial matter and he dared to disturb me, then he didn't need to stay in Ning's house.

"The court's new prefect is named Wenren Ye. He is a subordinate of Princess Zhaohua and is in charge of reforms. Now he has turned his butcher knife on my Lin'an Ning family!"

"I sent many assassins, but none of the secret guards who entered the Wen Mansion returned. Today, I set up a beauty trap, hoping to use him for my own benefit, but he managed to escape."

"Even Wan'er is missing!"

"The most important thing is that the two sixth-rank warriors who were responsible for monitoring Wen Renye were attacked and unconscious without anyone noticing."

"Mr. Liu, who can achieve such a level? The other party must also have an eighth-grade warrior in his arsenal!"

Ning Yuanzhou had a sad and angry look on his face, with hatred in his eyes. Since he became the head of the family, apart from the annihilation of the Qinghe Cui family, it was only today's encounter with Wen Renye that caused his expression to change drastically.

He is a well-known gentleman.

But his defense was repeatedly broken because of a Princess Zhaohua and a Wenren Ye!

If he doesn't take revenge, he would be unworthy of being the head of the Ning family!

Liu Cong was silent for a moment. He had also heard about the demise of the Qinghe Cui family, but he had not expected how capable Princess Zhaohua was to destroy a thousand-year-old family overnight.

Princess Zhaohua is fine.

That was a female devil that even hundreds of secret guards couldn't take down.

And now, even a dog in Princess Zhaohua's hands dares to act so presumptuously in Lin'an City!

The funniest thing is, it’s just a dog, but Princess Zhaohua actually sent an eighth-rank warrior to protect it secretly. How afraid is she that something might happen to him?

No, that's not right. When did Dayong have so many eighth-grade warriors?

unless.....

"Is there any news about Yan Wu?" Liu Cong suddenly asked, causing Ning Yuanzhou's expression to frighten. "What do you mean, sir? Is the eighth-rank warrior employed by the Cui family of Qinghe actually defected to Princess Zhaohua?"

"Well, it's very likely!" Liu Cong said.

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why there were only a handful of eighth-grade warriors in the world. Where did Princess Zhaohua get so many eighth-grade warriors that she could use them specifically to protect a dog?

"If that's the case, it's not going to be easy!"

Ning Yuanzhou was a little confused. Although he didn't know much about the Qinghe Cui family, he knew that the old man Yan was a master of the late eighth-grade warrior.

Only one step away from the ninth rank!

Each grade has three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced.

Even Mr. Liu is currently only at the middle level of the eighth rank.

Are you not sure if you can last a few moves against Yan Wu?

If Wen Renye actually has such a master by his side, does his city of Lin'an really have to obey his orders and carry out any reforms?

The thought that if the reforms were carried out, his Lin'an Ning family would have to pay a large amount of tax every year from now on made his heart bleed.

What's more, after the Qinghe Cui family, his Lin'an Ning family has become the head of the seven major families, and all the families are now focusing their attention on him.

If he dared to admit defeat, how would he explain to the noble families who followed him?

"It's not that there's no way." Liu Cong suddenly said, "If Yan Wu really is guarding that person, we just need to find a way to lure him away."

"You have four seventh-rank warriors hidden in your Ning clan's secret place. You ordered these four to bring a thousand guards and jointly besiege Wen Renye's carriage. To protect his master, Yan Wu ordered him to flee first, while he himself covered the rear..."

"In that case, if I block Wen Renye's path ahead, I can easily crush him to pieces with one palm strike. Even if Yan Wu arrives in time, I will have already escaped!"

When Liu Cong said this, he looked at Ning Yuanzhou with a sharp gaze.

That look seemed to be saying, what do you think, isn’t my plan great?

Ning Yuanzhou's mouth twitched slightly. Although he really wanted to kill Wen Renye, he also felt sorry for his only four seventh-grade warriors.

Those are the elites cultivated by the entire Ning residence with countless efforts and time. Even if Mr. Liu is not around, those four people can still protect the house.

But now, do I have to give up everything for Wenren Ye?

"Mr. Liu, is there no other way?" Ning Yuanzhou said somewhat unwillingly.

Liu Cong frowned slightly and drooped his eyelids, as if he was very dissatisfied with Ning Yuanzhou's rudeness.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Ning Yuanzhou just sighed deeply.

Although a seventh-grade warrior is excellent, an eighth-grade warrior is even rarer. We still have to appease the current one first.

"Just now, I spoke out of turn. Please don't blame me, sir..." Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative to save face, and Liu Cong looked much better.

He placed his fingers on his knees, consciously playing a rhythm. After a long moment, he said, "Forget it. I'll personally take action to lure Yan Wu away. You can get those seventh-rank guys to block the way ahead. When that guy is alone, we can attack together!"

It should be no problem for him to hold Yan Wu back for a while.

Ning Yuanzhou was immediately overjoyed, "With you, sir, this matter will definitely be resolved!" After thinking for a moment, Ning Yuanzhou continued, "Sir, don't worry. After this matter is over, Princess Zhaohua will definitely lose an arm. The salary you give me will naturally be doubled!"

Liu Cong's face immediately showed joy, but he remained calm and composed. "Well, don't worry. With me here, I will not let that woman plot against your Ning family."

"Thank you, sir! It is a blessing for the Ning family to have you in charge!"

Ning Yuanzhou was very humble. After all, he still needed to rely on this person to kill Wen Renye in one fell swoop. After leaving the side courtyard, he went towards the secret place again.

The same soothing words were spoken to the four seventh-grade warriors.

So everyone reached an agreement.

Seven days later, Wen Renye brought his men to the front line to inspect the land survey.

Unexpectedly, they were ambushed on the way. Liu Cong used 90% of his strength to attack Wen Renye's carriage, intending to force out Yan Wu who was guarding Wen Renye.
