Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 458: Don’t Even Think About It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With the uncles of the Great Wall Cargo, Xiaoxiao spared no effort in preparing the supplies. When they set off, the cart full of food bags was even more than everything the Ning Family had prepared.

Xiaoxiao scratched her head in embarrassment. “Well, it just looks like it’s a lot, but it’s actually not much.”

She was right. These convenient foods only took up space and didn’t take up much weight. If it were anyone else, they might have to worry that the carriage would attract trouble if it was too ostentatious. However, Ning Ansheng, who had the Great Wall Cargo, didn’t have to worry about this. He just had to accept Xiaoxiao’s good intentions and eat and drink along the way.

The day of separation arrived in the blink of an eye. Seeing Eldest Brother’s carriage getting further and further away, Xiaoxiao inexplicably had a strange feeling of a kind mother sending her son away. She even wanted to say that the child, who she had watched grow up, was going on a long journey now.

On the day the first batch of food was sent to the world’s granary, at night, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan used space teleportation to arrive at the border city. Or more accurately, they arrived at Xiongnu.

Some time ago, Xiaoxiao upgraded her space to level 79- Coincidentally, the crops in Border City and the new rice seeds in Guancheng became a huge producer of space points. They had just made a huge contribution not long ago.

[Current points balance is 887,600. Master, do you want to level up?) Xiaoxiao calculated: [Let’s upgrade it. What if it has an interesting function?] The space agreed. After the normal update, it gave the brocade pouch as a reward for leveling up.

[Reward 1:1 x 1 ranch speed multiplied by 10.]

[Reward 2: Unlock a skill’s usage limit.]

[Reward 3: Hidden item.]

The third hidden label no longer had much meaning to Xiaoxiao. She chose option two.

The space asked: [Which skill should I unlock?]

Xiaoxiao said: [Range Control.]

[Range Control limit unlocked successfully. Current points balance: 787,600.

Master, do you want to continue leveling up?]

Xiaoxiao shook her head. [No, I’ll go do something first.]

Although he had already obtained the right to enter and leave the space, Rong Yan could not hear these conversations. He could only see Xiaoxiao click a few times in the air, and a soft ring sounded in the space. Then, Xiaoxiao told him,

“It’s done.”

After adapting for so long, Rong Yan had already adapted to the wonders of space. According to Xiaoxiao, it was good for his body to stay in the space when she was upgrading, especially when he was advancing 10 times. Hence, she would call him along every time she returned to this node to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, when he thought that Xiaoxiao had pulled him in this time to watch her level up and strengthen his body, she suddenly straightened her expression.

“Little Big Brother, do you think Great Xia is ready?”

Rong Yan answered carefully when she asked seriously. “If it’s just living and working in peace, it’s more than enough now. However, if we fight with outsiders, we’ll inevitably make the people suffer again.”

Xiaoxiao asked again, “What if Xiongnu’s iron ore is gone?

Rong Yan thought about it and replied, “Then they might be more eager to plunder and fight.”

Xiaoxiao asked again, “What if they can get enough food and clothing through their own hands?”

Rong Yan did not understand, but Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “Little Big Brother, I really hate war. No matter if it’s good or evil, right or wrong, who wins or loses, there will always be a few people whose families will be destroyed. What did the children, women, and children deserve? What did the commoners deserve?”

“So I’m going to do something next. I don’t know if you can understand.” Rong Yan said honestly, “I might not be able to understand immediately.” He added, “But whatever you want to do, I’ll support it.”

Xiaoxiao laughed and said a line that even she felt was childish. “Then let us change this world.”

Something big happened to Xiongnu in the middle of the night.

The iron ore that they were so proud of was gone.

The heavily guarded mine was not stolen or robbed. Instead, it suffered a natural disaster that was rarely seen in a hundred years—an earthquake.

Wherever the earthquake went, the mines collapsed. Fortunately, the disaster did not happen too suddenly, so the miners had time to evacuate.

The Xiongnu people had a good plan. They would dig out the iron ore after the earthquake. However, after many days, the former mineral source seemed to have disappeared for no reason. The holes dug could even fit a lake. There was only a little iron ore found.

Speaking of which, it was strange that most of the earthquakes happened in areas with iron ore. The other commoners’ living places were not affected.

The three princes of Xiongnu were now doing their own things. The First Prince still insisted on benevolence, the Second Prince was still rash, and the Third Prince gradually stood out and was no longer as low-key as before.

As the Second Prince scolded the Third Prince for being cunning and shameless, he spread the news about the iron mine and the First Prince. Look, if it wasn’t for the First Prince’s suggestion to give the land to Great Xia, Great Xia wouldn’t have obtained two rich iron mines. If it weren’t for this mine, Great Xia’s troops wouldn’t have become harder to deal with. Now, their Xiongnu wouldn’t have any mines left after the earthquake.

As he spoke, Chernan gained more inspiration and began to send people to raise doubts everywhere. Although Xiongnu was also poor in the past, he did not encounter so many unlucky things. Why did the First Prince get into trouble as soon as he took over?

Although the First Prince knew what Chernan had done, he was really powerless to stop it-because more and more people believed these words.

Of course, there was no lack of the Third Prince fanning the flames during this period, in his opinion, he was quite willing to do anything that could cause trouble for the First Prince and the Second Prince.

Of course, he had recruited many people during this period of time and was prepared to seize power.

Currently, the First Prince was still the most popular. After all, he was much more brilliant than Chernan in winning over people’s hearts. Meanwhile, the Third Prince had been dormant for a long time and his strength was far inferior to his two brothers. If he wanted to catch up to them, he had to work harder than others.

He had been having a headache recently because after provoking the First Prince and the Second Prince to fight, the benefits he obtained were the iron mine’s jurisdiction. However, now that the iron mine was gone, everything he fought for with all his might was in vain.

“Your Highness, the miners have been digging for a month, but they still haven’t found anything. Should we continue?”

He wanted to stop, but stopping was equivalent to giving up. Wouldn’t all his hard work be in vain?

However, if he did not stop, the pressure from all parties would increase. Not only would they criticize him for wasting money, but they would also urge him to dig out the iron ore as soon as possible to make up for his losses.

The most annoying thing was still that glib-tongued Chernan! Why hadn’t he realized that he was so shameless in the past? He was even more proficient at spreading gossip than those shrews, but the ignorant and stupid people fell for his tricks. In just dozens of days, there were already several protests from the miners.

“What else could it be?”

These words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth. After saying that, he was still unhappy. “However, if I’m unhappy, Chercha and Chernan can forget about having an easy time..”
