Chapter 27: Regardless Of The Joys And Sorrows Of The World, It Is Free To Do As It Pleases

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Cheng Ling stood in the gradually darkening sky and remained silent for a moment.

The sky was like ink, regardless of the joys and sorrows of the human world, it was free.

As a soul from a different world, Cheng Ling felt the difficulty of staying out of this world for the first time in her life.

“I didn’t want to…” She muttered

But in the end, she still wiped Wang Hua’s silver hairpin with an alcohol-wet wipe and carefully kept it in the satchel at her waist.

She was even worried about losing the silver hairpin, so after thinking about it for a while, she moved it from her bag into the small space in her backpack.

After cleaning up, Cheng Ling put her mask back on and knelt down next to Wang Hua. She reached out and touched her body lightly.

Cheng Ling thought to herself, Wang Family’s Sister, I used the gathering skill on you, so I’m already indebted to you. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help you achieve your wish. However, if I’m not fast enough and can’t reach Red Cloud City before King Linhai…

This was very likely. After all, King Linhai had left Lu County six days ago. Even if the main force’s speed was delayed due to the large number of people, Cheng Ling, who had set off later, might not be faster than him.

Cheng Ling’s heart felt heavy. Moonlight energy flowed out of her palm and into Wang Zheng’s corpse. The system’s notification rang out:

“You’ve collected the bones of the queen of the Wang Family of Pingchang and received books like ‘noble etiquette model’, ‘the genealogy of today’s aristocratic families-a simplified version’ and ‘a preliminary understanding of the world’s general situation-an incomplete version’.”

Cheng Ling was surprised that the three books had landed in the collection space, but she also felt that it was reasonable.

A portion of Wang Ben’s knowledge had been extracted!

The daughter of an aristocratic family had extraordinary knowledge.

Cheng Ling didn’t know why she came to Lu County or why she wasn’t taken away by the king of Linhai with Wang Qilang. Instead, she was kidnapped by the rebel army outside the city and ended up like this.

But no matter what happened, the result had already happened.

“May you go to the next life and be born in peace,” Cheng Ling said in a low voice. “Don’t create trouble for the world.”

It would be best if she could reincarnate in the modern world that she had come to. That would be her greatest fortune.

Cheng Ling wasn’t in a hurry to bury Wang Si. instead, she turned around and walked over to the other woman lying next to her.

The woman had not moved since she was dragged out. She did not even react to Wang Ben’s death. In fact, Cheng Ling had already observed her from the corner of her eye. She found that not only was her expression numb, But her breathing was also weak.

Could she still be saved?

Cheng Ling didn’t know. She walked over to the woman and squatted down, wanting to take her pulse.

The woman’s wrist moved slightly. She looked slightly older than Wang Jie. Her eyes fell on Cheng Ling’s face, and she suddenly whispered, “Liu Lang, is it you… you’re here?”

Cheng Ling’s hand paused for a moment. The moment it touched the woman’s wrist, the woman suddenly shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

It was like a conditioned reflex. She was afraid of being touched!

Cheng Ling let go of her hand and was about to express that she had no ill intentions.

The woman chuckled to herself and said in a strange tone that was both melodious and singing, “They’re all dead, it’s good that they’re all dead. Clean, clean, clean… I’m also, dead!”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and lay there peacefully without any more movement.

Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to the woman’s nose, but she couldn’t find any breath.

She went to check the woman’s pulse, and her pulse… was also completely gone.

A person’s death was so easy.

After half an hour, Cheng Ling put away the small military shovel in her hand.

She buried Wang Lian and the unknown woman together on a slope about 50 meters away from the cave. The burial ground was flat, and there was no monument.

It wasn’t that he was stingy, But that she was afraid that someone would have evil thoughts and search the body of the person who had just died.

However, she remembered the location and made a small mark that only she knew. If there was a chance in the future, she would come back to pay her respects to Wang Lian.

After another 15 minutes, the cave that was basically blocked was set on fire.

When Cheng Ling went down the mountain, she turned around to look. At this time, the sky was already completely dark. From the outside, she could only see the faint light of the fire in the cave and the faint gray smoke.

Cheng Ling pursed her lips and didn’t stay any longer. She turned around and continued down the mountain.

There was only a small hole in the cave, and there was not enough oxygen inside. If the fire continued for a while longer, it would probably go out on its own.

This time, Cheng Ling didn’t head towards the city gate of Lu County. Instead, she walked along the foot of the mountain and headed west for a while.

Some parts of the city wall on the west side were even connected to the mountain wall of mount Pingming, so there was no city wall here.

After walking for a while, Cheng Ling started to climb up the mountain again.

The mountain here was very steep, almost at a right angle. Cheng Ling took out a bag of magnesium powder from her backpack and tied it to her waist. She also took out a long rope and a climbing hook.

The long rope was tied to a grappling hook. Cheng Ling rubbed a little bit of magnesium powder in her palm, held the rope, and swung the grappling hook. The grappling hook was accurately hooked behind a protruding stone corner on the mountain wall.

Cheng Ling pulled hard to make sure the hook was tight enough, then immediately pulled the rope and began to climb up.

She climbed very quickly, and after a short while, she had climbed more than six meters high.

This place was exactly the same as a section of the city wall of Lu County!

Thus, Cheng Ling changed the hook to a more suitable angle and put it in place. Then, she gently stepped on the connecting point of the mountain wall and the city wall.

Her balance was excellent, and her technique in exerting force was brilliant. In addition, the Yin and Yang energy in her body were circulating on their own. Although it could not be released, It seemed to have naturally added a lithe attribute to her body.

After a while, Cheng Ling jumped down with the help of the rope.

After climbing over the city wall, she landed smoothly.

“Pfft,” there was only a soft sound on the ground.

The city wall on this side was unguarded, so the subtle sound quickly disappeared into the night without anyone’s attention.

Cheng Ling put away the grappling hook and rope, leaving only the bag of magnesium powder at her waist and the military saber hanging on.

She even fastened a small mountaineering buckle on her left hand and put on a mask. then, she quickly headed in the direction of the east city gate.

Why did they go to the east gate?

Because before she jumped down from the mountain, Cheng Ling had already observed that in the entire Lu County, only the east gate was the most brightly lit!

King Linhai left only 500 people in Lu County’s army, and these 500 people were probably weak soldiers who had been eliminated.

These 500 weak soldiers surrounded King Linhai’s brother-in-law and teased him. He was the concubine’s brother, so he shouldn’t be called the brother-in-law. If a secondary consort was a concubine, then what was her younger brother?

No matter what he was, he was probably not an elite.

How could a commander who could allow his soldiers to do such a thing be a hero?

Cheng Ling guessed that Commander Kang should be in the brightest place in Lu County.
