A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

"The closest one to us, Prince Latour, his mansion must be overflowing with storerooms."

"The general is right. He has sent all his men to attack his elder brother. The scouts say that there are less than a thousand men left at his residence. We can take it."

"We're just going to get some money to spend; we absolutely mustn't take his life."

After so many years of risking their lives together, how could they not understand what the general meant? "Don't worry, General, we understand. With him gone, there's one less person to fight among us. We're just a little short on cash, so we need to borrow some money."

"Good, then we'll just send the secret guard battalion this time."

"Won't we have too few people? What if we can't finish moving everything?"

Zhao Yunpeng: ...Do you guys still want to move to the capital? Aren't so many people enough? We've already been robbed once before. Even a prince, no matter how rich, can't withstand this kind of turmoil.

"Ahem, let the scouts check out the wealthy households nearby as well."

"The general is wise!"

Without delay, buying goods was the priority. That afternoon, Zhao Yunpeng gathered two thousand men and three commanders to "borrow" silver from a neighboring country.

After closing the gate, the courtyard returned to quiet. She slept until she naturally woke up, and when she saw the sun outside, she was unaware of what day it was.

I've been feeling a bit down lately. Entering the space, I saw Jiang Yi toiling away in the fields, sweating profusely, surrounded by all sorts of animals.

Whether standing or lying down, she seemed much more at ease than when she came in this morning.

"Take a break!"

"No need, I woke up so quickly."

Judging from her lazy appearance, he knew she had just woken up.

"Sleeping too long will cause insomnia at night. Aren't you tired? You didn't sleep a wink last night either." Xia Ning found it strange; this man seemed to have inexhaustible energy. He could sleep less for a day or two and be perfectly fine.

Was it because he was young? Or had his genes been altered by wolves?

"Not tired. What time is it now?"

"It should be around 3 PM."

"Go out and lie down." She was still weak, having worked up a sleepless night.

Okay, there's a kind of tiredness that your family thinks you're tired.

"I'll pick you up when it gets dark."

Jiang Yi waved to her.

dinner.

I feel sorry for him because he does all the physical labor, and the meals he's given at night are always lavish.

Braised pork belly, braised lamb leg, braised pork knuckle, old duck soup, and a whole roasted chicken—all dishes are served in double portions, plus a few vegetable dishes, and the main course is a large meat bun.

She used to not let him eat so much greasy food at night, but he's been doing heavy work lately and won't have the energy if he doesn't eat more.

"Xiao Ning, once we get the boat, let's go back to the original seaside. We'll use the things produced in the space to make more cooked food and stock up on it."

Xia Ning could sense that Jiang Yi disliked the prefectural city very much. Ever since he met General Zhao, he had been uneasy and even somewhat anxious.

It must have been tough on him; every time he was selling goods, he had to be patient and stay with her.

"Once we get the ship, let's go to a neighboring country. I heard there's a civil war there; maybe we can pick up some scraps."

Upon hearing Xia Ning agree to leave, Jiang Yi's eyes immediately lit up. "Yes, we can go to the neighboring country and also visit the capital. There are many wealthy people there."

“You’re right. We can also buy seafood from fishermen and sell it to the capital at a high price.”

"Xiao Ning is the smartest."

He was fine with anywhere, as long as it wasn't here. He was afraid of being discovered and taken away. He was also afraid that General Zhao was a bad person who wanted to harm him and Xiao Ning. He was even more afraid that they would use him to threaten Xiao Ning and keep supplying them with food.

Staying here presents various possibilities, and threats are always at hand, none of which he wants to see.

Deep down, he didn't think Zhao Yunpeng was a good person at all. Don't ask him why; it was just his intuition.

If they were good people, how could they not send people to look for their family members who were missing? It would be best for them to be like strangers to each other.

"Jiang Yi, no one can take you away unless you want to. You are mine, and always will be."

Xia Ning felt she had to make things clear to put his mind at ease. This child had lived such a miserable life all these years, neither human nor ghost.

"Yes, I belong to Xiaoning, and I always will."

Xia Ning wasn't afraid of Zhao Yunpeng at all. She had a spatial ability and could teleport. What could he do to her? What could he do to Jiang Yi?

Look how scared the child is.

The people of the neighboring country were devastated by years of war. The men in their families, ranging from forty-five to fifteen, had all gone to the battlefield. Most households were left with only the elderly, women, and children; many more had become extinct.

The people looked numb and desperate. At night, the streets were deserted except for patrols; the silence was terrifying.

"There's no one here, hurry up and go over."

Perhaps they truly didn't take the Great Xia Dynasty seriously, or perhaps there was simply no one left; the controls here were extremely lax. Their journey here had been far too easy.

Go back and tell the general that once their civil war ends, we should simply bring them under the control of the Great Xia.

"If I had known it would be this easy, I would have called more brothers and moved their entire families away."

"Don't get cocky. You think Prince Latour is a pushover? You were able to fight the eldest prince for so long. Don't wait until a knife is at your throat and you need your brothers to save you."

Damn, that's some serious venom!

The person opposite was speechless, angrily shut their mouth, and stopped talking.

Under the moonlight, a long line of people walked through street after street, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"The warehouse is empty, and none of you noticed? You don't even know who has entered my palace? Are you still dreaming about me being kidnapped one day?"

Latour was furious. These useless idiots reported that the warehouse had been emptied. They had no idea when it was emptied or who had been there.

This isn't just a few items; the entire warehouse of treasures has disappeared. So much stuff, it would have caused such a commotion, and they didn't even notice. What's the difference between them and the dead?

They're all good-for-nothings! After his residence was emptied once, he said that security at his mansion needed to be upgraded and the number of patrolling guards needed to be increased.

As a result, even more things were stolen, and they didn't even know when the people arrived.

He wasn't heartbroken over the things; he was afraid. The other party was so powerful, and he was so useless; killing him wouldn't be an easy task.

As for the guards he kept, what could he possibly expect from them?

The captain of the guards knelt before his master. He also wanted to die. Why? Why didn't he notice these people coming and going? In a royal palace, there are more than 300 people patrolling every night. They can spot even a fly. How did those thieves hide?

He was devastated!

This time, he's definitely going to lose his official position, and whether he'll even survive is still unknown.

He was willing to accept whatever punishment his master gave him; it was his dereliction of duty that made him so negligent.

But he couldn't understand it. Why couldn't they hold out despite their strict defenses? Could the enemy possibly fly or disappear?

"You are demoted to private first class and sent to the front lines to fight."

The commander collapsed to the ground.

He is finished!

"Those who patrolled last night, each one will receive ten strokes of the cane!" He would never have punished them so lightly if he weren't short-handed.

The thought that someone might be in his sleep and could chop off his head made Prince Latour extremely uneasy and irritable.

"Starting tonight, my room will be under constant guard."

"Yes."

The newly appointed commander looked dejected; he had no desire to be promoted to this position.

He could only pray that the thieves wouldn't come back; after all, they had emptied the Prince's mansion of all its valuables. He didn't want to be demoted to a low-ranking soldier and sent to the battlefield.

With a beautiful wife and lovely family at home, who would want to go to the front lines and be killed?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Prefectural Governor reports that dozens of wealthy households in the city were burglarized last night. The thieves used sleeping powder, and when the residents woke up, all their valuables were gone!"

"Investigate! Seal off the city gates! Investigate thoroughly!" His eyes were bloodshot with rage.

Damn it, he didn't understand. These people didn't steal anything else, so why would they steal the most useless gold and silver? In the city, the sale of gold and silver had stopped, and barter had been switched to other items.

"General, General, we're back!"

Hey, this mission was way too easy. They've completely emptied out Latour's house, connecting it to the outside of the city. They can just use the secret passages to move the treasures. Only the wealthy households required a little more effort.

This time, they have plenty of money to buy magical items!

I want to buy tons and tons of magical items!!!
