Chapter 169: Your Father Is Here to Look For You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Who is it? This is not a place you guys can come to. Hurry up and leave.” The guards standing on the wall shouted at the people outside the gate.
“Big Brother, we were exiled here and accidentally got separated from our son. We want to ask if you have seen my son.”
“No, no. Hurry up and leave.”
Su Ying overheard the conversation between the guard and the other party, so she got the guard to open the gate.
“Madam Su, be careful. There are all kinds of people outside,” Qiao Yang reminded her worriedly.
“Mm-hmm. I’m just taking a look.”
As soon as Su Ying walked through the gate, she saw a man dressed in clothes made from coa.r.s.e cloth. He was as dirty as a beggar, and his hair was disheveled.
The man heard some movement and turned back to look at Su Ying. “Young lady, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to ask if you’ve seen my son.”
The man had a beard on his face, and there were some silver strands in his disheveled hair. He looked to be in his forties or fifties.
He held a portrait in his hand and brought it to Su Ying.
Su Ying lowered her eyes to look. She felt that the person in the portrait looked somewhat familiar. “Your portrait is too sketchy. Who can tell who this is? Is there anything special about your son?”
The man thought for a while and said, “Yes, yes. There is a mole on his right ear lobe. His legs are disabled. He is quite handsome. Have you seen him before, young lady?”
Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened imperceptibly. She asked Qiao Yang to quickly get someone to bring a piece of paper over. Then, she took out a homemade charcoal pencil. “Describe to me his exact features. I’ll draw them for you.”
“Alright, alright. Thank you, young lady,” the man replied.
The man began to describe in detail, and Su Ying’s hand didn’t stop moving. In less than fifteen minutes, a portrait had appeared on the paper.
Qiao Yang curiously leaned over to take a look and immediately recognized the person in the portrait. He glanced at Su Ying in astonishment but received a warning look from Su Ying. He quickly swallowed the words in his throat.
Su Ying handed the portrait to the man. “Take a look. Does your son look like this?”
When the man took the portrait and looked at it, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected Su Ying to draw it so vividly. It seemed like the other party was right in front of him. “Yes, yes, yes, yes. It’s him. I wonder if you have seen him before, young lady?”
Su Ying shook her head. “No, but our Tiger Base is very big, and there are many people. It’s impossible for me to have seen everyone. How about this? I’ll draw a few more of this portrait for you and have them put it up. If there’s any news, I ll get someone to make a marking on the gate. When you see it, just come and knock.”
The man was extremely grateful that Su Ying was willing to help him look for his son.
“No need to thank me. You can go back first,” Su Ying said with a smile.
“Alright, alright.”
As soon as the man turned around, Su Ying and the others also turned around and closed the gate behind them.
“Madam Su, the person in the portrait is clearly Xiao Jin…” Qiao Yang covered his mouth in shock. “Could it be… the Emperor of the Chu State has also been exiled?”
Su Ying shot him a glance. Her gaze undoubtedly showed that she thought he was a fool.
If someone rebelled, the previous monarch would be killed, generally speaking. Even if the person who rebelled was off his rocker and inexplicably sentenced the emperor to exile, it was impossible for the exiled party to reach the northern wilderness in such a short time.
Su Ying stood on the high wall and took out her binoculars to scan around. After making sure there was no one around, she quickly went through the main gate.
“Madam Su, where are you going?”
“I’m going to take a look. I’ll be back soon.”
She didn’t take him down directly because she wanted to lure all the enemies and catch all of them in one fell swoop. It was highly unlikely that the other party only sent one person to track Xiao Jin’s whereabouts.
Su Ying quickly caught up to that disheveled man.
After the man arrived at a hidden place, he looked around and made sure that no one was present before taking off his disguise and revealing his true appearance.
The man blew a whistle. After a while, a woman walked over.
“How is it?” the woman asked.
The man frowned and shook his head. “The other party is very vigilant, but they still don’t allow me to go in. I showed them the portrait and they said they had never seen it before.
“The people who have been exiled all the way here are all covered in grime. Even if they have seen them, it will be difficult for them to recognize them. We still have to think of a way to sneak in and look for him. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to the Master.”
“Mm-hmm. Let’s look for another entrance.”
After the two of them finished speaking, they turned around to leave. When they turned around, they realized that someone was standing behind them.
Their expressions changed slightly, and their hands reached for the weapons at their waists.
The man recognized Su Ying and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. “Why are you here, young lady?”
Su Ying picked up a tree branch from the ground and said leisurely, “If I said I was pa.s.sing by, you guys wouldn’t believe me.”
The man narrowed his eyes. “You’ve seen Xiao Jin before!”
Su Ying nodded. “Yes.”
The two of them looked at each other, then suddenly drew their weapons and charged at Su Ying.
Su Ying waved the branch in her hand, creating a floral pattern in the air. As the two people struck, she leaned back and dodged the whip swords in their hands. The branch in her hand ruthlessly hit the woman’s calf.
“Argh!” The woman cried out in pain and quickly retreated with a twist of her body.
The man continued to charge forward, his moves sharp and ferocious as he stabbed at Su Ying.
Su Ying dodged every single strike. Just as the man’s whip sword was about to pierce her forehead, she suddenly shot out the tranquilizer dart in her hand.
The man only felt a slight pain in his body and lost consciousness in the next moment.
The woman charged forward again.
Su Ying was in no more mood to play with her anymore and immediately shot out a tranquilizer dart to knock her out.
She had attacked just now to test their skills. Although the two of them were not her match, they could be considered experts in terms of martial arts skills
Su Ying tossed the two into her interspatial store and walked back. When she was about to reach the base camp gate, she pulled them out of the interspatial store.
After Su Ying left, Qiao Yang had been standing guard outside the gate. When he saw Su Ying coming back with two people, he quickly ran over.
“Madam Su, are you alright?”
Su Ying threw them onto the ground. “I’m fine. Tie these two up and bring them back.”
Qiao Yang didn’t ask any further and asked the guards to tic the two up and throw them onto the cart straightaway.
“It’s getting dark. Let’s go back.”
“Sure, okay.”
After returning home, Su Ying threw the two captives in front of Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin frowned. “Who are they?”
Su Ying kicked the man lying on the ground. “He said he’s your father and is here to look for you.”
Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.
Su Ying briefly told him what had happened at the base camp gate. Xiao Jin didn’t say anything after listening and simply carried the two captives to the side courtyard.
Xiao Jin returned at dinner time.
“Are you done interrogating them?” Su Ying asked.
“Mm-hmm.”
How come the interrogation ended without even a scream?
“Who are they?”
Xiao Jin frowned. “Spies from the Nan State..”
