Chapter 216 Taller Than You

"Okay, Master. Do you want Qingfeng and the others to come and pick us up?"

Qingfeng refers to the male guards that Su Nanyi bought when she was in Prince Rong's Mansion. When Su Nanyi entered the palace, she was not allowed to bring men with her, so she arranged them in the city to manage her shops and farms.

During that period, she also acquired a lot of properties, which she handed over to Qingfeng and others to manage.

The main reason was that she had asked Qingfeng and the others to leave, but they refused and were still willing to follow her, so she came up with this idea.

By the way, she also asked them to collect information for her in the capital, and to protect Luo and Su Nanfeng, mother and son.

They, mother and son, are too weak, and their scumbag father doesn't care about these things. Even if he takes care of the people in his house, it will be of no use.

So she said, "No, too many people would just get in the way."

Su Nanyi rejected Mo Lian's proposal without even thinking about it. If any danger really happened, she would take Mo Lian and the others into the space as soon as possible.

Having too many people would be bad as it would expose her space.

Ling Xiao has been with her all the way, and he has already discovered some clues. She doesn't want Ling Xiao to find out that she has such a mysterious place.

Ling Xiao is a cold-hearted, ruthless and ungrateful person. He can be very nice to you one moment, and break your neck the next.

If he knew there was such a magical place, he would definitely take her treasure and keep it for himself.

She couldn't afford to gamble, nor did she dare to gamble.

Then Mo Lian went to make arrangements.

The two wet nurses were so happy after receiving a silver note worth 1,000 taels each that they immediately agreed to leave.

It was still light outside and the city gates were not closed, so they immediately rented a horse, left the city, and returned home happily.

Only Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were very confused. They were almost in the capital, and their master still arranged them like this. However, they only obeyed their master's orders and did whatever they were told to do.

While Su Nanyi was making arrangements, Ling Xiao did not stop either.

Ling Xiao called An Er and asked him to connect with An Yi immediately.

"Master, are you worried?"

"Yeah, don't you think our journey back here was too peaceful?"

Ling Xiao looked towards the direction of the capital with his deep eyes and snorted in his heart, "Come on, all you demons and monsters! Let's have a fight."

"It's quite peaceful, but also a little unusual," An Er replied.

"It's right that it's unusual. If it was calm and normal, it would be worrying."

After Ling Xiao made the arrangements, he returned to the house. Su Nanyi had already fallen asleep. He took off his coat, lay down beside her, and put his arms around her. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

He was so exhausted from rushing all the way here that even though he had profound skills, he couldn't stand it.

The next morning, a group of people got up, got organized and set off.

Perhaps the news had leaked out, for not long after they left the city, a group of men in black came to assassinate them.

However, Ling Xiao and his men were well prepared. These men in black had the chance to come here but not to return. They all died under the swords of An Er and his men.

In fact, these are the men in black who were sent by the Duke to test the strength of Ling Xiao and the others.

Seeing that no one went back, I felt sad.

However, he acted alone and did not tell Ling Jue and Li Yuzhu.

If the two of them knew, they would definitely not agree. They would not allow him to alert the enemy.

But he thought differently. Ling Xiao was very ruthless. He had witnessed it with his own eyes. He was worried that they were still not Ling Xiao's match.

After testing the waters, the Duke did not make any more moves, and he had another idea in mind. That was the 300,000 troops in the West Mountain Camp, and the bombs made by the Ministry of Industry. This was what they feared, and it was also Ling Xiao's greatest reliance. If something went wrong, then no matter how powerful Ling Xiao was, he would not be able to escape their ambush.

The Duke hopes that he can kill Ling Xiao this time. If he fails, they will be the ones to die.

So there can't be any chance of failure.

So he found Ling Jue and Li Yuzhu and told them his thoughts.

"I was just wondering how I could defeat the 300,000-strong army at Xishan Camp without sacrificing a single soldier. Do you two have any ideas?
We cannot afford to fail this time, or our entire clan will be exterminated."

After hearing this, Li Yuzhu and Ling Jue both thought of using poison.

But to poison the Xishan camp is harder than climbing to the sky. How can one poison the camp if people can't even get in?

Li Yuzhu was very annoyed. The world was really too backward. If it were in modern times, this matter could be handled with drones, and there would be no need to use a single soldier.

She glanced at Ling Jue, hoping he had some solution.

The Duke was right to worry. Ling Xiao treasured the 300,000-man army like his own eyes and protected them very well. There was no way she could sneak into the military camp.

Ling Jue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is the source of water for the 300,000-man army?"

Li Yuzhu asked, "Master Ling wants to poison their water?"

Ling Jue nodded: "Yes, this is the only way to make 300,000 troops die without fighting, but the price we pay is a bit high."

The price he mentioned was, of course, the high cost of the poison. If one wanted to poison an army of 300,000, the poison required would be much more than the size of a fingernail.

Li Yuzhu disagreed: "This method won't work."

She knew that if Su Nanyi got her space, she would also inherit her poison.

Last year, Ling Xiao was trapped by the Queen and was poisoned. It was Su Nanyi who saved him and those secret guards, so she knew that Su Nanyi would not ignore it and must have taken precautions.

"Why?"

Ling Jue and the Duke were both confused and looked at her.

Li Yuzhu pursed her lips and said, "Su Nanyi is a master of poison. Do you think Ling Xiao won't be prepared?"

"She is a master of poison?"

The Duke and Ling Jue were both shocked. They had no idea such a thing had happened.

"Yes, the Duke should know something about the coup in the palace last year. Ling Xiao was poisoned, as well as his secret guards. It was Su Nanyi who saved them."

The Duke nodded. He believed what Li Yuzhu said and remained silent.

But Ling Jue became interested and asked, "How good is her poison skill?"

"Taller than you."

Both of them were experts in making poisons, and they both smelled poison on the other.

Anyone who deals with poisons for a long time will have the smell of poison on him.

Others can't smell it, but people who play with drugs can smell it immediately.

So when Li Yuzhu saw Ling Jue, she knew that his poison skills were not inferior to hers.

Ling Jue took a breath of cold air. Anyone taller than him could be said to be the number one poison expert in the Great Yan Kingdom.

When it comes to using poison, he is confident that he is better than Li Yuzhu, so he can be ranked first, and Li Yuzhu can be ranked second.

I didn't expect that Su Nanyi was actually taller than him.

Ling Jue suddenly had the urge to challenge Su Nanyi in a duel. He curled his lips and decided to compete with her.
