Shu Yu took a deep breath, thinking that it was just the end of the auspicious ti now, and it had been less than three hours since ng Yunzheng had gone back to sleep.
Two days and nights, sleeping five or six hours, he would collapse, right?
Qi Lie saw her eyes resisting and was inwardly distressed. Just as he was considering whether to go to the ng family escort agency himself, he heard a familiar voice from behind.
"Are you looking for ?"
Shu Yu and Qi Lie turned around simultaneously and imdiately saw ng Yunzheng standing not far away.
The latter ca forward, scrutinized Qi Lie for a while, and nodded, "It seems Lord Qi’s undercover operation was very successful." No missing arms or legs.
Qi Lie laughed, "Not as good as you guys; quietly you took down both the black market and Chenggu County. How about enduring one more trip with to resolve Changjin Prefecture?"
Shu Yu, "..." First the black market, then the county town, and now the prefecture needs to be captured too. If things are resolved here while the capital remains chaotic, would they also have to occupy the capital?
Thinking of this, Shu Yu shuddered suddenly and shook her head, shaking all those terrifying thoughts out of her mind.
In fact, ng Yunzheng had already guessed Qi Lie’s purpose for this trip; transporting weapons didn’t require him to co personally.
He was definitely here for another reason, and as expected, he had sought him out.
Fortunately, the county town had passed its most dangerous ti; he didn’t need to worry too much.
Hence, after a mont of thought, he agreed, "When do we set off?" The sooner things are resolved, the sooner peace of mind.
It was already late November, not long before the New Year. He didn’t want to be busy with these matters during the New Year.
Qi Lie imdiately said, "Now."
Seeing his urgent deanor, ng Yunzheng realized the situation in the prefecture didn’t seem optimistic.
He turned to Shu Yu, "Yu, I’ll go with Lord Qi so it’s tough on you here."
What else could Shu Yu say? She knew he would inevitably go to help, but was just worried about his health.
"Don’t worry about it; I’ll handle things here. Just take care of yourself, be cautious, and don’t rush into danger. We all await your return, safety first."
ng Yunzheng squeezed her hand and smiled, "Alright."
He left alone with Qi Lie, leaving Xia Yan behind.
Qi Lie exhaled, just as the weapon transfer was completed over there, he didn’t delay further and quickly led a group, cautious and vigilant, leaving through the city gates.
Shu Yu ran back up to the city wall, watching their figures gradually disappear before coming down.
Lu Wu planned to return to the county office to sleep, and other laborers were also planning to return to the black market.
Although they wanted to stay above ground, to feel the warmth of the sun outside, Chenggu County still had nurous piled up issues, and they couldn’t get their identities or household registrations completed. Leaving so many people inside the city, not to ntion anything else, just finding a place to stay was a problem.
Moreover, they had many matters to handle when they returned to the black market.
Shu Yu escorted them to the abandoned mansion and said to the leading laborer, "Rest assured, once matters here are resolved, we’ll help verify your identities and process your registrations as soon as possible."
The leading laborer grinned foolishly, his smile bright and relaxed, with none of the numbness or lifelessness from his ti in the black market.
"Thank you, Monarch Lu Xiang, we’ll head back first. Oh, those girls also asked to convey their thanks to you."
