Su Ying had been busy for the whole day. Before she went to bed, she received another message from Xiao Jin.
There were two letters in the message tube. One was written by Xiao Jin, and the other was written by the two little fellows. fr(e)enovelkiss
Even though he was still young, Ji’s handwriting was already very neat. The little guy told her what happened after she left in great detail. There was no major incident. He was just sharing his daily life with her in detail.
In her mind, it was a good thing that their lives were well-ordered. It proved that both children were safe.
Su Ying spread out the paper to reply to the two children. She didn’t know if it was because she had been a mother for a long time, but she had also become more verbose. Unknowingly, she ended up writing as many as two pages.
Next, she opened Xiao Jin’s letter after putting away the first reply.
“Su Yulun is actually still alive?” As she read the contents of the letter, Su Ying was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the possibility of survival in such a deep mine collapse was extremely small. What kind of dog shit good luck did Su Yulun have?
It was only after reading the explanation in the letter that realization dawned on her.
It turned out that Su Yulun had sensed the other party’s killing intent at that time, so he instructed someone to disguise as himself and go down the mine in his place.
True enough, something happened in the mine.
Other than Su Yulun’s two trusted aides and Xiao Jin’s men, no one knew that the person in the mine was not Su Yulun.
In fact, Su Yulun’s purpose for going to Kun City this time was not for the mine at all. His objective was actually Jinling City.
After escaping death in the mine, Su Yulun sneaked into Jinling City. What he needed to do was to find evidence that Xiao Shijie wanted to rebel.
Now that he had obtained the evidence, Su Yulun dared to show himself again and work with Xiao Jin to wipe out the rebels in Jinling City.
Su Ying slowly folded up the letter. She knew that things were not that simple when Xiao Jin sent Su Yulun to Kun City. However, she did not know at what point Xiao Jin realized that something was wrong with Xiao Shijie.
Su Ying spread out a fresh piece of paper to reply to Xiao Jin, but after thinking for a long time, she didn’t know what to write. She had already written what she wanted to instruct in her letter to Ji and Ling.
After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Su Ying finally wrote something on the paper.
When she finished writing, she waited for the ink to dry before handing the letter to the Green Guardian.
When Xiao Jin received Su Ying’s reply, he had just returned to the Conjugal Phoenix Palace from the Imperial study. Even though Su Ying was not here now, he was used to staying here at night because he could feel her presence everywhere.
“Your Majesty, the reply from the Empress has arrived.”
Before Xiao Jin had even sat down, he eagerly took the letter from Zhang Shuming’s hand.
Just as he was about to start reading, two small heads poked in from outside the hall door.
“Father, did Mother reply?” Ling stared intently at the letter in Xiao Jin’s hand. Her gaze was really impossible to ignore.
Xiao Jin beckoned to the two of them to enter.
The two little fellows dashed over excitedly. Their eyes were glued to the letter.
“Father, look, look! This! This is what Mother wrote to us.” Ling’s sharp eyes saw the inscription on one of the letters.
Xiao Jin handed that letter to them, and the two little fellows opened it eagerly.
There was a lot written inside.
Xiao Jin looked at those two full pages and then at the letter in his hand. Certain expectations arose in his heart.
In the past, Su Ying’s replies were always very simple. It was rare for her to write so much this time.
Xiao Jin opened his letter with anticipation and looked at the huge piece of paper. On it was written two words…
“Message read?”
Ji’s childlike voice rang out at this inopportune time.
The air instantly froze.
Ji was the first to react. He grabbed Su Ying’s reply, turned around, and pulled Ling along, who had yet to regain her senses, before running off.
“Father, it’s getting late. I’ll bring Younger Sister back to sleep first.”
Before he had even finished speaking, the two little ones had already disappeared.
Xiao Jin clenched the letter with a livid expression and gritted his teeth.
“Su Ying, you really have some nerve!”
Achoo!
Su Ying sat up from the bed and rubbed her nose. “Who’s talking about me?”
“City Lord, you are awake.” The Green Guardian’s voice rang out from outside the hall doors.
Su Ying pinched the spot between her eyebrows and stood up. “What is it?”
“City Lord, Long Ba requests an audience.”
Su Ying had already gotten up to put on her clothes and she frowned when she heard this.
Long Ba had just been taken down from the signboard above the entrance a few days ago. Why was he not lying in bed to recuperate? Why was he here to show his face? Shouldn’t he be trying his best to minimize his presence at this point?
“What is he doing here?”
“City Lord, he’s here to thank you for not killing him.”
Su Ying gave a soft snort and told someone to bring Long Ba in.
Long Ba was carried in by his men. His body was covered in bandages and he seemed to be badly injured. If it wasn’t for the fact that his swollen eyes were still open, Su Ying would have thought that he was dead.
“I hereby thank City Lord for not killing me. It was all my fault for being foolish. I hereby swear that I will never do anything that breaks the rules again. Please do not be angry, City Lord.”
Long Ba was lying on the stretcher. He resembled a piece of meat that was to be put on the rack and grilled.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. “I have already said that if you can withstand this beating, I will not hold this matter against you anymore. But Long Ba, you can only make a mistake once. Next time, you won’t have the chance to ask for mercy.”
“Yes, yes. There will never be a next time.”
Su Ying really did not want to see his body full of wobbling flabby flesh, so she told Long Ba’s people to carry him out.
After that, Su Ying sent someone to summon the women who had been captured by Long Ba’s men to the palace for questioning.
If they were not willing to continue staying at Long Ba’s place, she would make other arrangements.
The women exchanged glances. Surprisingly, most of them were willing to stay.
“We have a place to stay after coming here. We are already very content to have food to fill our stomachs every day. Thank you for your kindness, City Lord.”
Their innocence had long been lost on the road to exile. It was not that they did not care, but the sacrifice of their bodies was nothing compared to being able to survive easily.
Su Ying respected their choice. As for the few who wanted to leave, Su Ying also got people to locate a few houses for them in the area where Meng Zi and the rest stayed.
Meanwhile, Long Ba was carried back to the brothel.
There was a house behind this brothel. It was originally separated from the brothel, but after Long Ba settled down here, he connected the two places and turned them into a single complex. He lived in the house behind the brothel.
As his subordinates moved Long Ba onto the bed, the pain caused him to grimace.
“Damn brat, are you tired of living? You used so much force. Do you want me to die of pain?”
“Area Chief, please… please forgive me.”
Long Ba’s face was livid. Even when he first arrived in the northern wilderness, he was never in such a sorry state.
“I saw that idiot Qiao Yang when I came back. He must have obtained some benefit again judging from his smug look. What a despicable sycophant!”
“Area Chief, you may not be aware but he’s trusted by the City Lord now. He’s always in charge of the exchanges with the Jin State. He can bring back a lot of things every time. I don’t know how much of the goods have gone into his own pocket.”
Long Ba’s face turned even more unsightly. When they discovered the iron ore mine, he also had some scheming thoughts. He also knew about the conflict between Sky Alpha City and the Jin and the Nan States.
“Did City Lord really capture the prince of the Jin State?”
