Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said,
“I’ll arrange this!”
After that, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else.
Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng was unwilling to talk about this, so she didn’t mention it again.
Now, everyone had a simple understanding of the situation in the capital.
Duan Sha knew her situation. The only thing she could do now was to protect herself and not drag her friends down.
When the trouble was resolved, she could go home safely.
Therefore, she didn’t ask about the situation in the capital and tried not to cause trouble for everyone.
After Princess Ning Xin learned about the situation in the capital from the Eldest Princess, she felt a little relieved and didn’t let her imagination run wild anymore.
To Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan, they had nothing to worry about.
Meng Yan was known as a femme fatale and the family members she cared about were no longer in this world. The rest of the people in the capital were people she didn’t care about.
So what did those people’s lives have to do with her?
As for the businesses under her name, she wasn’t afraid of profit losses.
The shopkeepers she used were all veterans in business. When they saw that the situation wasn’t right, they would definitely handle it well.
Therefore, she wasn’t worried at all. She just needed to stay in this safe place and wait for the chaos in the capital to subside.
As for Ma Chongshan, although his family was in the capital, their guards were top-notch experts.
At least the family wouldn’t wander the streets. Then, they would listen to his father and brother’s orders. The family would definitely be safe.
Even if he was worried now, it would be pointless, so he might as well calm down and wait for further news.
Besides, those who had mania had been treated and an antidote had been developed, so he believed that the chaos in the capital would subside quickly.
Therefore, a month after the capital closed its gates, the farmstead where Li Xiaoran and the others lived became the most peaceful place.
That night, Luo Cheng quietly brought people out after Li Xiaoran fell asleep.
When it was almost dawn, Li Xiaoran suddenly woke up and saw Luo Cheng appear in front of her with injuries.
“What’s wrong? Did you secretly go to the capital?”
Li Xiaoran jumped off the bed and came to Luo Cheng’s side without even putting on her shoes.
“It’s fine. It’s just some minor injuries! I expected someone to ambush me on the city wall, but I didn’t expect it to really happen. Fortunately, I had a backup plan, so when my men were halfway up and encountered someone cutting the rope from above, even though they fell, they fell into the net we had formed. Unfortunately, a group of men in black appeared out of nowhere. Their martial arts techniques were very strange. I was hit and my arm got injured!” Luo Cheng didn’t hide his injuries from Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran also looked at Luo Cheng’s wound and was relieved to confirm that he wasn’t seriously injured or poisoned.
“When you were talking about how to enter the capital previously, I saw that you were unwilling to say anything, so I knew that you must have your own plans. I didn’t expect you to climb the wall late at night to enter the capital. It’s so dangerous!”
“I just wanted to see what was going on in the capital! I think the news I received was deliberately sent over! The situation in the capital is definitely not as simple as we think!” Luo Cheng said, “I only suspected it previously, but after what happened tonight, I’m 100% sure. The news I received was actually to lure me into a trap!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood. “The people in the capital want to capture everyone?”
“That’s very likely!” Luo Cheng nodded.
“Alright, you’re already injured, so you should rest first! We’ll talk about this after you rest!” When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng’s tired look, she realized something and quickly helped him to the bed.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran down with his uninjured hand and hugged her!
“Li Xiaoran, sleep with me!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t object. She nodded and accompanied Luo Cheng to sleep.
Li Xiaoran thought that she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep. Unexpectedly, when she heard the man’s rhythmic heartbeat, she gradually fell asleep.
When Li Xiaoran woke up again, it was almost noon.
Seeing that Luo Cheng was still sleeping, Li Xiaoran got up quietly.
Luo Cheng was injured and needed to recuperate, so she wanted to get up and prepare some food for him.
Fortunately, the others in the farmstead also woke up late today. Everyone ate in their own rooms.
Thinking about how Luo Cheng was iniured. Li Xiaoran went to get some Dig
blood and chicken blood.
As the saying went, what you ate nourished you. Luo Cheng was injured and bleeding, so he naturally had to consume more blood to nourish himself.
Blood curd was very simple to make. As long as the condiments were suitable, it would taste very good.
Of course, if it wasn’t handled properly, it would taste very bad.
In addition to the blood curd, Li Xiaoran asked someone to kill a few chickens and stew them.
During this period of time, the people in the farmstead had been busy, so it was normal for them to eat a few chickens to nourish themselves.
The people living in the farmstead saw a large bowl of chicken soup appear on the lunch table.
When Luo Cheng woke up and saw that there was blood curd and chicken soup, he smiled.
Although chicken wasn’t his favorite food, he naturally had to accept Li Xiaoran’s kind gesture.
As soon as lunch was over, Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan came looking for them.
“Have you two eaten yet?” Li Xiaoran asked with a smile when she saw the two of them looking for them.
“Yes. The two of us drank the big bowl of chicken soup!” Meng Yan smiled as she teased, “To be honest, it’s only because you, Li Xiaoran, stewed the chicken soup that I drank a lot of it!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately blinked.
“Of course. I made this chicken soup myself, so how can it not taste good?”
They all laughed at that.
“You two didn’t come here just to praise me, right?!”
When Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they exchanged looks and Ma Chongshan spoke up.
“I know have friends and received some bad news from them. Perhaps the situation in the capital is worse than we think!” When Luo Cheng heard Ma Chongshan’s words, he said, “Tell me in detail!” Ma Chongshan didn’t think of hiding it.
“My friend had a big business deal yesterday and the herbs he had stored previously were bought up. He thought it was strange, so he sent a message to ask me.”
With that, Ma Chongshan took out a note..
