Chapter 297 Seizing food from the dragon’s mouth
Lin Wanwan frowned.
She knew the Su family had come to Lihai City.
But their people have already searched the entire city of Lihai.
Not just Lihai City.
They searched all the prefectures surrounding Lihai City, but found no trace of the Su family.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you're not mistaken? We've searched all the surrounding prefectures, but we haven't found any other members of the Su family. Where did they end up?"
Lin Wanwan suddenly realized something as she spoke.
Could they have already gone to the island?
According to the original plot, the Su family would never have gone to the island, and they should have all died on the way to escape famine long ago!
In reality, Su's parents were both time travelers, possessing knowledge far beyond their time and even the ability to cheat using spatial abilities.
No matter what, they won't do too badly!
Upon hearing this, Li Jiao'e paused slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then remembered something before quickly continuing.
“I got separated from my parents-in-law in Yunzhou. They were with the exile group at the time, and I remember they said they would go with the exile group.”
"I can't remember for a moment where they were going in the end..." Li Jiao'e racked her brains, but couldn't remember.
She can remember Lihai City.
She could only remember this name because it contained the last two syllables of both Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai's names.
But Li Jiao'e didn't care what the Su family wanted to do. She just wanted to eat her fill and lie down comfortably. She didn't want to know or think too much.
So it's unknown where they'll end up after arriving in Lihai City.
But Lin Wanwan understood instantly.
It seems the Su family really did go to that uninhabited island on the other side!
She glanced at Li Jiao'e silently, said nothing more, her face filled with disappointment and sadness.
She glanced at Li Jiao'e because Li Jiao'e was unaware of what had happened to the Su family in Yunzhou.
But she knew it in her heart.
The exiled group was framed by Zhou Hao, the prefect of Yunzhou, but several exiled families, including the Xie and Mu families, managed to escape.
But she just couldn't understand it.
Neither the Su family nor the exiled group should be able to find the specific route to the uninhabited island.
This is one of the special abilities that the author, as her own mother, reserved for the female protagonist, Lin Wanwan.
How did they manage to find the island?
Lin Wanwan would not underestimate the Su family's capabilities at this moment, but would instead use modern thinking to consider the issue.
The Su family and the exiled group must have found the island, otherwise she would have been able to find no trace of the Su family and those fugitives.
If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now.
Anyway, they've already found and successfully landed on the island.
Previously, the female lead, Lin Wanwan, had a precognitive dream in which Xiao Yuqiang led a fleet to an island under her guidance.
But the island has already been developed, and there are at least many houses and people active there.
After the two sides clashed, Xiao Yuqiang suffered a crushing defeat and fled.
But this precognitive dream.
Lin Wanwan couldn't tell who was in charge on the island at all.
So they had no idea that the Su family was also on the island.
but.
This made Lin Wanwan even more depressed.
How did the Su family manage to come and go without a trace?
They came from the sea, so they must have a boat, right?
While the defenses along the coast surrounding Lihai City weren't exactly manned every ten steps, they were certainly very thorough.
They need large ships to travel safely to and from uninhabited islands.
Such a large ship could easily get close to the shore if the guards weren't blind!
How exactly did they get ashore and infiltrate Lihai City?
Lin Wanwan now harbors deep hatred for the Su family!
They had the Li family members sent out of the mansion and settled in a dilapidated place, leaving only Li Jiao'e inside as a hostage.
If they were to clash with the Su family in the future, they would have some leverage to negotiate with them.
After getting the answer she wanted, Lin Wanwan immediately relayed the message to Xiao Yuqiang.
Xiao Yuqiang was deeply shocked upon hearing this.
He never expected that the Su family not only possessed such an incredible Qiankun Bag, but also such a powerful immortal artifact!
"My dear consort, are you sure you're not mistaken? Does the Su family really possess a mysterious magical artifact that only immortals possess?" Xiao Yuqiang asked incredulously.
Lin Wanwan nodded solemnly: "Yes, I can confirm that what Li Jiao'e said herself is absolutely true."
She confirmed it, of course.
Li Jiao'e was unaware of modern firearms; these were certainly not things she had made up on a whim.
This can only mean that she saw it with her own eyes, which is why she could say it.
"My beloved concubine, does your fairy possess such a magical artifact? We must obtain it at any cost!"
Xiao Yuqiang felt completely insecure at that moment.
He originally thought that with an army of 500,000, he would be able to shake the entire Dayong.
But he never expected that such a small family as the Su family would have such a divine connection!
There are also such powerful and irresistible celestial artifacts!
That is a fairy weapon!
No matter how large or powerful his army was, they were still just mortals. How could they possibly be a match for the enemy?
Lin Wanwan sighed and explained, "Your Majesty, immortals cannot trade with mortals at will. The fact that you sold us so much grain is already an act of great pity."
"We must spend a lot of money to unlock the restrictions. If we want to buy magical artifacts, we must unlock ten restrictions, which will require countless amounts of money and several years."
"Our only advantage is that the Su family may still be mindful of our relationship, so they only took our things. But they probably don't know that I also have a destiny for immortality. As long as I have enough time, I can unlock the magic artifact."
"Your Majesty, once I unlock the ten layers of restrictions, I will buy the magic artifact and present it to you as soon as possible, how about that?" Lin Wanwan said, not forgetting to appease Xiao Yuqiang.
Xiao Yuqiang also knew that these things couldn't be rushed.
Lin Wanwan was absolutely devoted to him, and she made no attempt to hide her love for him.
She would never lie to him!
Therefore, he was willing to give her his full trust.
If Lin Wanwan knew what Xiao Yuqiang was thinking, she would definitely say: Thank you for your trust! That's so touching!
"Alright, then I'll have to resort to extreme measures to obtain even more money for you to unlock the restrictions." Xiao Yuqiang quickly made his decision.
"Then I thank Your Majesty."
Lin Wanwan chuckled. She was very satisfied with her current body and appearance. Even her voice was particularly soft and charming, just like the woman she liked best.
Lin Wanwan suddenly thought of something and became somewhat worried, so she immediately reminded Xiao Yuqiang.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Su family only took the supplies outside our manor this time, which means they didn't know that there were still a lot of supplies in our manor's treasury."
"How can we safely and successfully transport these supplies out?"
"In order to unlock the restrictions as soon as possible, I need to buy all the resources in the first layer of restrictions every day. As a result, there are too many resources, and the mansion simply cannot hold them all."
Xiao Yuqiang was worried that the Su family would steal the supplies in the mansion using their magical methods, so he immediately dispatched tens of thousands of men to guard the entire courtyard tightly.
It's fair to say that even the rooftops were packed with people!
If anyone dares to approach, they'll be turned into a hornet's nest!
Lin Wanwan told him with absolute certainty that the Su family's magical treasure, the Qiankun Bag, definitely had a distance limit; it could only be taken away when one got within a certain distance.
Therefore, they had to guard the entire mansion inside and out to prevent the other party from getting close.
It's clear that their defense is effective.
At least the food and supplies within the government compound have always been safe.
The most pressing issue is how to transport it out discreetly.
"Don't worry, I will immediately arrange for a secret passage to lead directly out of the city. The Su family certainly doesn't have the connections to know about something like this."
Xiao Yuqiang spoke with certainty and confidence, but deep down he was not resolute and was still uneasy.
But his method was still effective.
Shen Shuli's drone couldn't see what was happening inside the Xiao residence at all.
Because she suddenly realized that the entire mansion, whether on the roof or on the ground, was teeming with people.
The drone couldn't lower its altitude at all, otherwise it would definitely be spotted and shot by the guards below.
That would alert the people inside and reveal her investigative methods.
She wasn't sure if Lin Wanwan didn't have other special abilities that allowed her to recognize drones.
After all, Lin Wanwan already has a system that allows her to purchase modern supplies.
Who knows if she'll learn a lot about modern products because of this, and be able to buy other high-tech products?
The amount of modern technology in her space is limited, and she absolutely cannot let Lin Wanwan discover it, thus guiding her to directly research and discover those technological products.
Otherwise, it's like playing with fire and getting burned!
For two consecutive days and two nights.
Except for her rest time, Mu Wanjun had been making highly effective sleeping pills and finally managed to get a large enough batch.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two immediately began to carry out their plan.
Mu Wanjun flew the helicopter to a position 300 meters above the Xiao residence.
Shen Shuli descended slowly down the ladder, stopping about ten meters above the Xiao residence to wait for the right moment.
Cold wave period.
The cold wind howled almost all day long.
Shen Shuli was worried that the powder would be blown away by the wind, so she could only wait until the wind subsided before taking action.
that's it.
Shen Shuli was suspended in mid-air and blown around for more than an hour, until she was almost numb from the wind.
She went through unimaginable hardship to acquire resources.
We can't say that her supplies came too easily, can we?
Finally, the wind subsided a bit.
Shen Shuli immediately notified Mu Wanjun to fly slowly around the entire Xiao residence. She showed no mercy and began to sprinkle medicine downwards.
Worried that the people below wouldn't inhale enough, Shen Shuli sprinkled all the medicine down.
At this time, most people in the mansion are resting.
As long as she doesn't disturb the people in the room, Shen Shuli doesn't need to worry about them for the time being.
After observing with night vision goggles, I found that the protection below reacted very quickly.
After several of them inexplicably fainted, their companions immediately noticed something was wrong and became alert.
But the commotion was quite significant.
The guards standing on the roof were the first to be hit.
After being infected, they fell uncontrollably, some even rolling directly to the ground.
It caused an immediate commotion.
Before the other guards could react, they too began to lose control of their bodies and fell to the ground.
The medicinal powder developed by Mu Wanjun is absolutely all-pervasive.
Even if someone realizes what's happening and tries to hold their breath, they will still be affected as soon as the powder comes into contact with their skin.
It's impossible to guard against it.
Only after everyone in the most heavily guarded courtyard had fallen did Shen Shuli notify Mu Wanjun to bring the helicopter to a stop in place, and then she gently landed on the ground.
