The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Chapter 627 Pretending to be a ghost

“No, Nangong Li, although I’m not a great philanthropist, I can’t just stand by and watch these people die here. Maybe they have families waiting for them to go back and reunite with their loved ones! Even if they are prisoners in labor camps, they can’t be so inhumane! These people are simply outrageous.”

Nangong Li shook his head: "These people can't even be called human, they're practically beasts!"

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun observed everything outside from within the space. Surrounding the mine was a row of stone houses, which must be where the gold ore had been mined.

On the other side, a furnace was burning, and the temperature was significantly higher than in other places; it must be a place where gold ore was being refined.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed into the valley and arrived at a stone house. The leading soldier spoke from outside the door: "Commander Zhang, we were just ordered to patrol the outer perimeter and found a man and a woman riding horses stopped at the foot of the mountain..."

Before the man could finish speaking, the person inside the room impatiently interrupted, "Just kill him!!"

The leading soldier, after listening to the words of the people inside the house, wiped the sweat from his brow and continued tremblingly, "We intended to shoot those two people as usual, and we did indeed fire arrows, but... but..."

At this moment, the door of the stone house opened, and a middle-aged man with a big beard came out, with a woman in his arms. His clothes were loosely hanging on his body, while the woman was dressed very lightly, with only a thin veil covering her body!

The man's voice rang out: "What is it? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up! A bunch of grown men talking so long-winded!"

Seeing the man's anger, the group of men immediately knelt down, the leader even kowtowing once over the pebbles. But... but the two men and their two horses suddenly vanished into thin air!

The man referred to as Commander Zhang, after hearing the words of the leading patrolman, looked at the others in his group: "Is what Zhang Gui said true? Those two living people, along with their horses, really vanished into thin air."

The others traveling with him nodded in agreement when they heard Commander Zhang's question.

After listening to what the others said, Commander Zhang pushed the woman out of his arms, letting her fall to the ground, her palm bleeding.

The woman didn't even dare to cry out. After getting up from the ground, she pulled her thin veil tighter around herself, huddled against the wall of the stone house, trembling, her eyes filled with terror.

"Damn it! He must have stolen this woman. I'm going to kill these beasts!" Li Liuyun was filled with rage as he watched the woman fall to the ground, not even daring to cry out.

What she hated most in her life was those who bullied women and children, those who trafficked women and children, and those who forced women into prostitution; they were utterly deserving of death.

"Wait a minute, let's first survey the surrounding environment and try to come up with a foolproof plan so that the two of us can escape unscathed."

However, the miners here are all handcuffed and shackled, and from a preliminary observation, there are about a hundred of them. We can't possibly take all of them into the space, can we?

To help them escape unscathed, we must eliminate all these beasts to ensure they leave this mountain alive.

Li Liuyun calmed down after hearing Nangong Li's words. The man called Zhang Tongnian, after listening to the others, straightened his clothes and said, "Call another team and come with me to see what kind of demons and monsters dare to play tricks on my territory!"

Upon hearing Commander Zhang's words, the patrolmen scrambled to their feet and hurriedly went to call for reinforcements. A short while later, more than ten armored soldiers arrived, all armed.

The man in the lead stepped forward: "Brother Zhang, what's wrong? Zhang Gui said someone is playing tricks on us in our territory? Have we run into another one who doesn't know what's good for him?"

Commander Zhang nodded: "Whether it's a man or a ghost, go and see for yourself. This is my territory, I'll kill gods and Buddhas alike! Anyone who dares to block the Prime Minister's path to wealth will only meet their end in death!"

"Don't even mention two people, even twenty people wouldn't be enough to make him leave alive! Come on, brothers! Let's go see who these people are! How dare they trespass on our territory!"

After Commander Zhang finished speaking, he led the people behind him out of the valley!

After everyone left, the woman huddled in the corner could no longer hold back her tears. She buried her head between her legs and sobbed, "Husband, I'm so sorry! I'm useless, I couldn't save you! That beast said he'd let you go if I gave in to him today! But now I don't even know if you're alive or dead, what should I do? Waaah..."

Li Liuyun and Nangong Li, being inside the space, naturally heard the woman's cries! Li Liuyun couldn't help but sigh. Even if this woman used her body as an exchange today, that beast would never keep his promise and release her husband.

At this moment, this woman entered Commander Zhang's room. Even if nothing happened yet, if the two of them saved these people today, and the woman's husband learned of what had happened after being rescued, she would probably only have one way out: death!

Nangong Li seemed to see through Li Liuyun's thoughts and squeezed Li Liuyun's hand: "The feudal ideas of ancient times are inherently unfair to women. There is no need to think too much about it. If her husband is among those people and is willing to tolerate everything she does, then so be it!"

If her husband is like these beasts, despising her for her lost chastity and being ungrateful, then giving her some silver to fend for herself wouldn't be so bad!

Li Liuyun nodded: "I understand. I just feel sorry for this woman. She gave everything, but in the end, she may only receive humiliating words in return!"

But it's all for the best. Adversity reveals true character. If her husband abandons her because of this, it will make her realize she's entrusted herself to the wrong person! Perhaps it's not such a bad thing!

Nangong Li nodded: "Let's go, while those people are away, let's go take a look around and see if we can find anything good!"

Upon hearing Nangong Li's words, Li Liuyun's dejected expression vanished: "Let's go, let's go over there first. Ling'er detected a lot of gold over there, it should be the treasury. Let's grab some while those people aren't around. Then I'll think about how to deal with these people without lifting a finger!"

When Li Liuyun and Nangong Li arrived at the storeroom that Ling'er had mentioned, they came out of the space and were shocked by what they saw. Even though Nangong Li and Li Liuyun were usually calm, they were still stunned by the bright yellow objects in front of them!

The warehouse in front of them was filled with gold bricks piled up in all four corners, neatly stacked one by one, almost blinding them with their brilliance.

Li Liuyun hugged Nangong Li tightly: "Wow, we're rich! Even Father Emperor's private treasury doesn't have this much gold!"

Nangong Li hugged Li Liuyun: "Then why don't you just stop now?!"

Li Liuyun looked at the gold bricks, his eyes darting around, and said with a smile, "No rush, I've already figured out how to get this gold without it running away. These people will do it effortlessly!"
