After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

At that moment, a person wearing armor "descended from the sky".

Although he wore heavy armor, he was remarkably agile. He was about the same height as Yin Cheng, only thinner.

He bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Marshal."

When Hua Yue saw the person who came, she immediately rushed over and hugged him, "Brother Luo Ran, I missed you so much!"

Hua Yue came crashing down like a fat bird, but Luo Ran's feet didn't move an inch, showing that her lower body was extremely stable and her martial arts skills must be quite good.

Lin Nian perked up immediately upon hearing the name.

He discreetly sized up the armored man in front of him, assuming he was a man, but it turned out to be a young man!

However, upon closer inspection, some subtle differences can indeed be observed.

For example, although he was wearing armor, he wore a headband that covered his forehead, thus concealing the "Fu" mark.

Luo Ran tore Hua Yue off her body. "Stand still."

Hua Yue pouted, "You don't care about me at all, you don't even ask how I'm doing in the capital. Brother Luo Ran, you've changed..."

The next instant, Luo Ran pinched his mouth shut.

Hanazuki: "!"

Yin Cheng turned to Bai Yuchen, who was observing the garrison camp, and asked, "Brother Bai, do you have any requirements regarding accommodation?"

After spending more than two months together, Yin Cheng truly admired him.

Brother Bai is a very aloof person; he's not as transparent as he usually is, so much so that people don't even notice him.

You can't even sense any worldly desires in him; he is utterly detached.

Bai Yuchen said, "I'm not picky, either is fine."

"Alright," Yin Cheng said. "Luo Ran, find a house for Brother Bai, and assign him two apprentice doctors. Then take the Prince to see the mansion."

"Luo Ran obeys the order."

Yin Cheng said to Lin Nian, "Niannian, you go home first. I'll go back after I've finished dealing with things here."

Lin Nian nodded.

Luo Ran said, "Please come with me."

After learning that he was a boy, Lin Nian relaxed a lot.

"These boxes of mine..." Lin Nian hesitated.

Yin Cheng said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone carry it back later."

Lin Nian nodded. "Then I'll be going now."

"Go ahead." Yin Cheng ruffled his wife's hair, then began to arrange for the 30,000 Northern Border troops who had returned from the capital to return to their respective camps.

Just as Luo Ran was about to use her lightness skill, Hua Yue quickly said, "Your Majesty does not know martial arts."

Luo Ran paused, then blushed slightly and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Lin Nian quickly waved her hand, "It's because I'm so useless."

Luo Ran pursed his lips, his whole body stiffening. He didn't know how to talk to a young lady from a respectable family, so he could only shut his mouth and remain silent.

The group headed deeper into the camp.

Wang Zhao's mouth never stopped the whole way, chattering away with Hua Yue.

On a cliff face, Lin Nian saw an extremely spectacular and strange iron artifact.

Several iron pillars, each as thick as an adult's arm, stretched straight to the mountaintop, each section secured by a horizontal pillar. Inverted iron chains connected several square boxes that slid up and down, creating a staggered, tiered structure.

The scene was spectacular; Lin Nian had never seen anything like it before.

Hua Yue kindly explained, "Your Majesty, this is called a cloud ladder."

Lin Nian asked疑惑地问道, "What's this for?"

Hua Yue grinned and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Luo Ran had already opened the door of one of the boxes.

Hua Yue pulled Lin Nian inside. The box was open on all four sides, with only a half-person-high railing to prevent it from falling.

Hua Yue said, "My lord, if you are afraid, just close your eyes. We'll be there soon."

Lin Nian nodded.

Once everyone was on board, Luo Ran pressed the button.

The container suddenly started moving.

Lin Nian was somewhat scared, but mostly surprised.

The container slowly rose, and the people reacted in different ways:

Xiao Fu's legs trembled, and he quickly covered his eyes.

Wang Zhao was shocked, feeling that the mechanism was ingenious.

Bai Yuchen remained calm, as if nothing concerned him.

Lin Nian exclaimed, "The view from here is truly beautiful."

Since marrying the man, he has been frequently carried around by his light-footed skills, and he is no longer afraid of heights.

Hua Yue said, "The cloud ladder to the west is even more beautiful. On a clear day, you can see the grassland, and it's especially beautiful when the flowers are in bloom."

Lin Nian asked, "Are there many such mechanisms in Caixia City?"

Hua Yue said, "Just these two. The prince said the kinetic energy wasn't enough, but I didn't understand."

"What kind of kinetic energy?" Lin Nian asked.

Luo Ran then explained, "Water. It's that river. The prince said that river can only activate two ladder mechanisms."

He pointed to a wide river below the mountain.

Lin Nian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

He can ask the man slowly when he comes home in the evening.

Bai Yuchen remained silent, but a slight smile played on her lips.

Xiao Mo, this younger brother, is no ordinary person.

Xiao Fu clung to Hua Yue's leg, feeling like he was about to fall, and kept asking, "Are we there? Are we there? Are we there yet?"

Hua Yue said, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon. Don't be afraid, get up and take a look."

Xiao Fu said, "Ahhh, I'm too scared to open my eyes."

A black dot suddenly appeared in Lin Nian's field of vision.

He stared intently at the black dot.

Once the black dot became clear, Lin Nian saw an old man walking briskly along the rugged mountain path.

Lin Nian: "..."

So, is everyone in Rainbow City practicing martial arts?

In no time, the ladder reached the top of the mountain.

As the group stepped off the cloud ladder, Lin Nian was once again shocked by the scene before her.

The roads in Caixia City are truly complicated. Although they are wide, they are not smooth. There are many stone steps that are messy, and the houses are like mountains, layer upon layer...

Luo Ran first led Bai Yuchen to the empty house, saying, "Young master, please stay here for now. I will find the medicine boy later and send it over as soon as possible."

Thank you for your trouble.

"You're too kind, sir." Luo Ran left the key and then led Lin Nian and the others to the Prince Cheng's residence.

The empty house and the Prince Cheng's Mansion are in the same alley, but the characters on the plaque of the Prince Cheng's Mansion have already started to peel off.

"Has the new plaque not been delivered yet?" Lin Nian asked.

Luo Ran replied, "It will take some more time."

Lin Nian nodded. Such official plaques should always be treated with utmost care.

Yin Cheng's house seemed to be a deliberate imitation of the carved beams, painted rafters, small bridges, and flowing water of the Central Plains.

It looks no different from when we were at Prince Cheng's Mansion in the capital.

The place is maintained daily, so the furniture inside is still very clean.

This house is even smaller than the one in the capital. All of it together is still smaller than the orchard that Yin Cheng planted for him in the capital.

However, though small, it has all the essentials, and none of the necessary facilities have been omitted.

It's a pity that this house doesn't have a ground spring, so you can't enjoy a hot spring.

After a while, several soldiers brought up Lin Nian's box, and Luo Ran then led the soldiers to take their leave.

By the time the man returned, the moon was already high in the sky.

In just one afternoon, the lord and Xiao Fu arranged all the utensils and supplies they had brought from the capital in an orderly fashion.

He had planned to cook a sweet and sour feast for the man that evening, but the kitchen was spotless and there wasn't even any salt.

He didn't know the way and didn't dare to go out easily, so he waited for the man to come back so they could go to the restaurant together.

There is no curfew in the Great Yin Dynasty, and Caixia City is even more lively at night.
