Luo Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Xiaoran knew what he meant. He had to go.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at the map.
As she stared at it, Li Xiaoran thought of something.
“Wait, how far is Clear Dew Valley from here to here?!” Li Xiaoran suddenly stretched out her finger and asked.
Yu Peng thought for a moment and replied to Li Xiaoran’s question, “It’s not far. It’s probably only about a hundred meters. It’s precisely because this place isn’t big that it’s easy for people to be ambushed.”
After Li Xiaoran obtained this data, she calculated it silently.
“Ziyang, are there any more skilled blacksmiths? I need to make a few things. Find as many blacksmiths as possible. I want to make something!”
Luo Ziyang nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng. “Husband, if you want to go, I can’t stop you! After all, that’s your uncle, your family. Logically speaking, you should make this trip! However, we can’t be led by the nose by the other party just like that! Try to stall for time with those people. I need ten days!”
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in confusion. He didn’t know what Li Xiaoran wanted to do.
“Xiaoran, what do you plan to do?”
“If you trust me, delay it for ten days. In ten days, I’ll give you a surprise, a life-saving thing!” With that, Li Xiaoran went to her desk.
With the pencil and ruler she had made, Li Xiaoran began to draw on the paper.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng looked at the others.
“Alright, everyone, think about how to stall for time as much as possible! At the same time, predict the danger you’ll encounter after entering the Clear Dew
Valley and how to deal with it!”
The others nodded and began to discuss.
Li Xiaoran’s mind raced. Then, she drew blueprints according to her memories.
Because time was tight and Li Xiaoran didn’t need anything complicated, she could only use the simplest tools to achieve her goal.
Just like that, Li Xiaoran kept drawing blueprints and imprinted the blueprints in her mind on the drawing paper.
After Luo Ziyang gathered all the craftsmen, Li Xiaoran brought the blueprints to a hidden cave with Luo Ziyang.
For the past few days, everyone had been forging what Li Xiaoran needed.
Li Xiaoran also took out the forged thing and tested it. After confirming that it was useful, she heaved a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Li Xiaoran brought a large pile of things over to see Luo Cheng.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran had lost weight, Luo Cheng’s heart ached.
“Xiaoran, you don’t have to work so hard!”
“It’s fine. As long as nothing happens to you, my hard work will be worth it! Husband, there’s no time to talk about anything else. Tell me about your plan to go to the Clear Dew Valley.” Although Li Xiaoran was tired, she was in good spirits.
“Let’s talk in the carriage! Why don’t you eat something and get into the carriage to sleep? Then we’ll talk!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to wash up before eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast.
It had to be said that Luo Cheng knew Li Xiaoran very well.
Because she had been up for the past few days and had not rested much, Li Xiaoran fell asleep after getting into the carriage.
Luo Cheng didn’t disturb Li Xiaoran. Instead, he hugged her and let her sleep in peace.
Perhaps sensing that someone was hugging her, Li Xiaoran opened her eyes and glanced at Luo Cheng.
When she realized that it was Luo Cheng, she closed her eyes in relief and continued to sleep.
Li Xiaoran slept until the afternoon.
Because she was extremely hungry, Li Xiaoran woke up from her sleep.
“You’re awake? I’ll warm the buns for you. Eat two mouthfuls first. When we reach the next town later, we’ll be able to have a good meal!” Luo Cheng said when he saw that Li Xiaoran had woken up.
Li Xiaoran nodded and wiped her hands with a handkerchief. Then, she went to get the buns and ate them.
After eating the four buns and filling her stomach a little, Li Xiaoran felt more energetic.
“Husband, tell me your plan now!”
Luo Cheng nodded and lowered his voice before telling her the plan they had agreed on.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled.
“That’s a good plan, but there are two places that have to be modified. What I brought will guarantee your safety!”
“Oh really? Please elaborate!” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said. Li Xiaoran glanced at Luo Cheng, then she whispered in his ear. As Luo Cheng listened, his eyes widened in disbelief. “Xiaoran, are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure!” Li Xiaoran smiled and said.
“When we encounter an empty space ahead, I can show you!” Li Xiaoran said.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment, then he shook his head. “If we take it out in advance and others see it, we won’t be able to launch a surprise attack! Actually, we’d better wait until we reach the Clear Dew Valley!” With that, Luo Cheng thought of something and blinked at Li Xiaoran.
“I can delay things for 15 days, so we set off early this time. Now, our group is disguised as a caravan on the road. As for ‘Luo Cheng’, he’s still in the village!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“That’s for the best. There’ll be enough time for us to set it up!”
The next morning, Li Xiaoran and the others woke up very early.
The group didn’t enter the nearby town to rest. Instead, they slept in the wilderness.
At dawn, everyone got up and got busy.
After eating warm breakfast, everyone carried a large bag of heavy things as they walked deep into the mountains.
The carriage they had been in was brought to the nearest town and a few coachmen guarded it.
As she walked in the deep forest and breathed in the fresh air, Li Xiaoran felt much more relaxed.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “After this, let’s go to the valley to stay for a few days! The two of us will live a peaceful life there!”
“Alright! We’ll go after we save my uncle!” Luo Cheng nodded in agreement.
It was rare to hear Li Xiaoran make a request, so Luo Cheng naturally had to satisfy her.
As they spoke, the group approached the Clear Dew Valley.
Because they had walked through the deep mountains, they were at the top of Clear Dew Valley.
As Li Xiaoran walked, she suddenly stopped.
“Wait!”
