Chapter 610: Who Did You Say Is Too Dangerous?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“City Lord, those people are very cunning. Last time, Lord Chu fell into their trap!”
That s right, City Lord. Those people are too dangerous.”
Su Ying raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly. “Hmm? What did you just say? Who is too dangerous?”
The bandit leader choked and stared blankly into Su Ying’s two eyes which were totally devoid of warmth.
Was it because the City Lord was gone for too long? He had actually forgotten that there was absolutely no other person in this world who was more dangerous than the City Lord!
I’ll send someone to pa.s.s the message now.”
The camps of the three parties were not far from each other. However, the strange thing was that during the process of setting up camp, each party would not do anything to provoke the other party unless the other party went close to the mine.
Su Ying’s words were quickly conveyed to the leaders of the two kingdoms’ camps.
The leader of the Nan State’s camp sprang up from his chair when he heard the news. “What did you say? The City Lord of Sky Alpha City sent someone to deliver a message?”
Yes. They said that their City Lord wants to meet you.”
The leader of the Nan State’s camp became solemn instantly. He knew that when General Wei Wu ordered Deputy General Li to bring 5,000 elite soldiers to Sky Alpha City, Deputy General Li’s team was all wiped out. Second Master Li, who was most likely to succeed as the head of the Li family, also did not make it back after going there.
The reason they dared to come this time was that they had heard that the City Lord of Sky Alpha City was no longer in the city. The person in charge now was just a weak scholar.
However, now, they had sent a message saying that the City Lord of Sky Alpha City wanted to see him. Could it be that the City Lord had returned?
Ever since the Nan State was defeated by the Chu State, the Nan State’s border had been pushed back after relinquis.h.i.+ng two cities. General Wei Wu had also been removed from his post. Now, the one guarding the border was another general. The more than 2,000 troops that were sent this time were also soldiers from the border.
“Deputy General w.a.n.g, we weren’t the ones who attacked Chu Yun last time. We can wait and see.”
Deputy General w.a.n.g felt that this was reasonable. No matter what, they were backed by a kingdom. If the other party wanted to touch them, they would have to think twice.
“Fine, accept their request. Let’s see who this City Lord is. Also, send people to beef up the security. Don’t let the other party take advantage of any loopholes.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Su Ying’s message also quickly reached the Jin State’s people.
In the big base camp of the Jin State, a figure was sitting on a tiger bench with a look of impatience.
He had been m this G.o.dforsaken place for so long, but he had not touched a single piece of iron ore. He had run out of patience long ago!
Your Highness, Sky Alpha City has sent someone to pa.s.s a message. They said that the City Lord has returned and wants to talk to Your Highness and the leader of the Nan State’s camp.”
Xie Rui sprang up from his chair. “City Lord? What City Lord? Who was the person we a.s.sa.s.sinated previously?”
Xie Rui had always a.s.sumed that Chu Yun was the lord of Sky Alpha City, so he made a thorough plan to take Chu Yun’s life last time.
Now, another guy had jumped out to say that Chu Yun was not the City Lord of Sky Alpha City, but someone else!
His subordinates could not answer his question for quite a while. It seemed that the other side had never claimed that Chu Yun was the City Lord before either. It was just that he was in charge of the matters in the city for now, that was all.
“Your Highness, are they plotting revenge?” After all, they almost killed Chu Yun last time.
Xie Rui’s face was icy. Indeed, such a possibility was not unlikely, but he no longer had the patience to continue wasting time here. Previously, when his men said that an iron ore mine had been discovered here, he immediately sent people to check it out. If he could take this iron ore mine for himself, then he would have made a great contribution. His Emperor Father would definitely reward him. However, he had been here for so long but he had not even dug out a single sc.r.a.p of iron ore. He had run out of patience long ago.
“Go reply to them. I want to see what kind of tricks they can play. However, tell them that I agree to meet him on the condition that I decide the location of the meeting. Moreover, the other party can only bring two people.”
Yes, I’ll go and send the message there now.”
The three camps weren’t far from each other, so the replies from the Jin and
the Nan States quickly reached Su Ying’s ears.
City Lord, the Jin State said that they are agreeable to have talks, but the location of the meeting should be decided by them. And each party can only bring two people.”
“These Jin State’s people are very cunning. Are they going to do the same thing and attack you, City Lord?”
Su Ying didn’t even frown when she heard this. “Accept their proposal.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
After receiving Su Ying’s acceptance, Xie Rui immediately summoned his trusted aides and picked a location that was advantageous to them. After the location was decided, the people from Sky Alpha City also informed the people from the Nan State’s camp about the location of the meeting.
Deputy General w.a.n.g gave a scornful sneer when he received this location. “These people from the Jin State are afraid of death, yet they still want to s.n.a.t.c.h the mine from us. They even want to choose their own territory as the location to meet us. They are afraid of being killed. Tell them that I will be here on time.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Xie Rui had selected a meeting place not far from the camp of the Jin State. If the Sky Alpha City’s people wanted to harm him, his men could come out and support him in time.
The meeting time was set for the next morning.
That night, Su Ying didn’t return to the city. Instead, she stayed in her men’s camp.
After a simple dinner, Su Ying was about to rest when she saw a figure loitering outside the tent.
The figure paced back and forth for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally stopping outside her tent’s entrance.
After a while, Su Ying heard Qiao Yang’s sneaky voice coming from outside the tent. “City Lord, are you asleep?”
Su Ying’s voice betrayed the lethargy that came with drowsiness. “Speak.”
“It’s freezing at night. City Lord, if you feel cold, I will definitely help you warm your bed at night…Oof!”
“I was wondering where you d.a.m.n brat ran off to in the middle of the night. So you came to disrupt the City Lord’s sleep. You are not even afraid that the City Lord will skin you alive. Come back with me at once!”
Before Qiao Yang could finish his sentence, he was dragged away by Tiger Might.
Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched a few times. Then she slowly closed her eyes.
It was a night without dreams. In fact, she slept more soundly than ever before.
Indeed, the air in the northern wilderness was fresher.
‘City Lord, are you awake?” Tiger Might’s voice rang out outside the tent.
“I’m up.”
Su Ying dressed herself and walked out.
“They’ve prepared breakfast. There’s still more than two hours before we meet them. City Lord, you can go over after eating.”
Su Ying nodded.
The food here was simple. There were basically no fresh fruits and vegetables in this season, but Cheng Ming and Aunt Jiang had made a lot of pickled vegetables before winter. They were quite delicious when eaten with meat.
After the meal, Tiger Might expressed his intention that he wanted to follow Su Ying to the meeting place.
The instant Tiger Might finished speaking, Qiao Yang piped in anxiously, “City Lord, I want to go too. I want to go too.”
Su Ying shot him an icy glance. “If you two brothers were wiped out together, would the Qiao family still have descendants?”
Qiao Yang was stumped but added, “For City Lord’s sake, I’m prepared to do my best until I die!”
Putting aside other things, Su Ying was still a little touched.
However, in the end, she still abandoned Qiao Yang in the camp and brought the bandit leader and Tiger Might with her..
