Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"Just as I thought!" Lin Ping snapped his fingers excitedly, feeling exactly like he had caught a big fish.

He had long suspected that Yang Guozhong harbored ill intentions and might do something detrimental to the City Lord's Mansion, so the moment Jiang Xiuwen arrived, he immediately sent Li Mingxuan to supervise him.

To be honest, Lin Ping had no idea what underhanded tricks Yang Guozhong would use, nor how he would frame the City Lord's Mansion.

The moment the secret room was opened, Lin Ping suddenly realized that the later fire in the granary had confirmed his guess. So, he deliberately left the secret room door open for the other party, and then used this trick to lure them into a trap.

Jiang Yunying looked at Lin Ping with suspicion, as if she felt that her husband was almost demonic. Fortunately, he was lewd and had a special affection for her, otherwise, if he became an enemy of the city lord's mansion, he would be really hard to deal with.

Now, everyone has run towards the granary, leaving only Lin Ping and Jiang Yunying, plus Li Mingxuan who just came to report the news, making a total of three people.

Under Lin Ping's instructions, the three hid behind a corner of the wall, waiting for Yang Guozhong to walk right into their trap.

Before long, Yang Guozhong rushed over and suspiciously stopped at the entrance of the warehouse, looking around. To be on the safe side, he whispered, "Lord City Lord, are you inside?"

It has to be said that this guy is a habitual offender with a deep scheme. If the city lord is in the warehouse, he will definitely respond. At that time, Yang Guozhong will stop his next move. If no one responds, it will prove that no one is there, and he can go all out.

Upon entering the warehouse, Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up, and he almost burst out laughing with excitement. He muttered to himself, "Jiang Xiuwu, you've been careless all along. Let's see who can protect the City Lord's Mansion now!"

"It's hooked!" Lin Ping was overjoyed, but he didn't rush out immediately. He would wait until the big fish had a firmer bite before reeling it in. By then, Yang Guozhong would be holding the jade box in his arms, and even a hundred mouths wouldn't be able to explain it.

However, just as they were waiting patiently, two more men in black rushed in.

"Two more have arrived. Hmph, no one's getting away!" Lin Ping sneered, then strode forward.

These two men in black clearly belonged to that mysterious organization. Lin Ping was certain they were no match for Jiang Yunying, so he could take them all down in one fell swoop.

"Yang Guozhong, let's see where you run to!" Lin Ping pointed at Yang Guozhong coldly and smiled sinisterly.

"Lin Ping? What are you doing here?" Upon seeing Lin Ping, Yang Guozhong was shocked, never expecting that his plan would be exposed.

But that's fine too; I can kill Lin Ping to avenge Qin Diao Hui.

"Yang Guozhong, my City Lord's Mansion has treated you well, why would you betray it?" At the same time, Jiang Yunying appeared beside Lin Ping, which immediately made Yang Guozhong tremble with fear.

Lin Ping alone is not a threat, but Jiang Yunying's martial arts are unparalleled, so these two men in black may not be effective.

Seeing this, the two men in black exchanged a glance and then tried to escape in two different directions.

"The jade box is empty; the imperial edict should be with these two," Lin Ping said hastily, genuinely worried that they might escape from Jiang Yunying's grasp.

Jiang Yunying had already anticipated this situation. With light, graceful steps, she quickly blocked the two of them, holding her sword level in her hand, and said sternly, "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"

"Wife, quickly beat him up!" Lin Ping was anxious. He had thought that Jiang Yunying would take care of the two while moving, but now she showed no intention of making a move.

Knowing that their lightness skills were inferior to Jiang Yunying's, the two men in black drew their swords, attempting to fight her to the death.

The two were like ghosts, their movements and swordsmanship unpredictable. After dancing out a few lotus flowers, they were already close to Jiang Yunying's body.

Jiang Yunying frowned, listlessly carrying her longsword, and rushed forward like a moth to a flame.

"Oh no, my wife is in danger!" Lin Ping exclaimed, suddenly realizing that Jiang Yunying was not feeling well today, otherwise she wouldn't have been defeated by Jiang Xiuwen.

These two men in black were skilled fighters, displaying no mercy with their sharp sword techniques.

Jiang Yunying was like a flower in the wind, swaying precariously, her life in danger at any moment.

After the first move, Jiang Yunying took a few steps back, her face even paler, and she actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"My lady, are you alright?" Lin Ping asked with concern, not caring who had the imperial edict or where the two men in black had gone.

The two men in black exchanged a glance and quickly left, flanking Jiang Yunying on either side, naturally not daring to continue fighting.

To be honest, judging solely from the sharpness of their sword techniques, the two were far inferior to Jiang Yunying. The reason they were able to defeat her was entirely because she lacked internal energy, which is why they didn't dare to continue fighting such a powerful enemy.

Seeing the man in black leave, Jiang Yunying became extremely anxious. She hurriedly took out an exquisite jade bottle, poured out three golden pills, and swallowed them in one gulp.

After swallowing the pill, Jiang Yunying's entire body was enveloped in a faint golden light, and the blocked meridians were instantly cleared by the powerful aura.

"Husband, let's chase after them!" Jiang Yunying's face was as cold as an ice cave that had never melted in a thousand years. She grabbed Lin Ping's hand and flew through the air.

In a short span of time, Jiang Yunying's strength was completely different. Lin Ping was not prepared at all and hurriedly ordered, "Little Li, tie up Yang Guozhong and await his fate!"

Li Mingxuan nodded vigorously, swaying his head as he walked towards Yang Guozhong, a pale smile appearing on his lips.

What followed was a series of pig-like screams. Li Mingxuan was young and strong, and Yang Guozhong was no match for him.

This guy was quite ruthless before binding Yang Guozhong, probably influenced by Lin Ping. Only by crippling the opponent could he ensure that he wouldn't escape.

Moreover, Li Mingxuan had always been at odds with Yang Guozhong, but as a mere servant, his status was not as prestigious as Yang's, and he was often suppressed. Now, he finally had the chance to take revenge.

"Husband, is this fast enough?" Jiang Yunying asked with concern, seeing Lin Ping's dizzy and disoriented state.

Lin Ping felt weak all over and shook his head, saying, "Wife, you didn't run too fast, you just flew too low..."

Jiang Yunying responded, seemingly understanding Lin Ping's meaning, and kept tossing him into the air, catching him in her arms just before he landed.

The repeated sensations of weightlessness made Lin Ping extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for the benefit of being held before landing, Lin Ping would definitely have resisted.

Even while dragging Lin Ping, Jiang Yunying's speed was still no slower than the two men in black, suggesting that her strength had returned to its peak.

Before long, two men in black jumped onto the city wall, and before the private soldiers could react, they had already jumped off the three-zhang-high city wall.

The two people somersaulted several times in the air, and rolled forward a few times upon landing, perfectly dissipating the powerful impact.

"Don't jump!" Looking at the dark ground, Lin Ping had a physical reaction and hurriedly turned his head to say.

Jiang Yunying shook her head helplessly and gently kicked him in the buttocks, followed by a scream that was even more miserable than bungee jumping.

At the same time, Jiang Yunying's feet, pressed against the vertical city wall, were falling even faster than Lin Ping's.

At this moment, Lin Ping was no longer flustered, and suddenly thought of the originator of universal gravitation.

Newton: This isn't my responsibility, it's my brother's responsibility...
