“Brother Ji, you can go if you have something to do. We’re fine.” Yang Zhi nodded.”
After Ji Shuisheng left, Qiu Yongkang quickly boiled water and made tea for Yang Zhi and his brothers. However, Yang Zhi and his brothers could not wait any longer. They asked for a bowl of cold water and gulped it down.
Xiaoying was about to make breakfast, so Qiu Yongkang asked her to make more. Seeing that Yang Zhi and the others had been hungry for a long time, he had to let them have a full meal first.
Qiu Yongkang was busy entertaining Yang Zhi while Ji Shuisheng hurried out of the city to look for Su Qing. They seemed to have a telepathic connection as he went straight to where he had found the incense table yesterday.
Ji Shuisheng rushed to the place and found that the incense table was still in place, but there was no new incense head. No one was doing the ritual here yesterday. Then where did Su Qing go?
Su Qing’s whereabouts? Last night, when she rushed to the incense table, she didn’t find any mages doing the ritual but didn’t leave immediately. She found a hidden place and waited quietly.
In the end, before the person who did the ritual could arrive, she discovered a person from Tartan wearing casual clothes rushing towards Tartan from the Great Xia Kingdom under cover of the night.
He looked very cautious. Not only did he avoid the Great Xia Kingdom’s army, but he also avoided the Tartan Kingdom’s army on the other side.
Su Qing felt that his actions were suspicious, so she quietly followed behind him to see what this person was doing.
Was it the person who came to the city last night to meet with Liu Hong?
This person seemed to be very clear about the patrol routes and time of the Tartan soldiers and could avoid them accurately. Su Qing secretly remembered these routes so that it would be convenient for her to come to Tartan to inquire about military intelligence in the future.
Su Qing followed him for a few hours, from midnight to early morning. They walked from the two countries’ border to Tartan’s capital, Tacheng.
Su Qing was dressed in Han Chinese clothes and looked out of place in Tartan. She couldn’t continue to follow him at dawn. Fortunately, he arrived at his destination and came to a luxurious yurt.
This yurt looked like the residence of a high-ranking official of Tartan. Many Tartan soldiers were guarding the entrance of the yurt. When they saw a group of people return, they quickly went in to report. Soon, they called the leader of these people in.
Su Qing wanted to hear what they were saying. However, too many Tartan soldiers were outside the yurt, and she could not get close. She could only watch from afar.
Two Tatan soldiers walked over while talking. Su Qing had no choice but to hide in the yurt beside her. She realized that this yurt belonged to the Tatan soldiers. They might have gone out to train, so no one was there.
There were washed military uniforms hanging on the wall. Su Qing went over and found an army uniform about her size.
The people of Tartan were generally tali and robust. A medium-sized child probably wore this military uniform. The other army uniforms were especially too big to fit Su Qing.
After putting on the military uniform, Su Qing found a Tartan soldier’s military cap and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror. Other than her appearance, everything else was similar.
She asked for a disguise pili from Xiao Qi and ate it. The skin on her face was burning and uncomfortable, but it was a necessary process. After a while, her appearance changed when she looked in the mirror. Her eyebrows and nose bridge were high, and her eyes became deep. She looked a little like a Tartan.
Su Qing could not stay in the yurt for long. She changed her clothes and walked out. She was wearing a Tatan uniform, so she did not have to hide from the Tatan soldiers anymore. She approached the yurt openly.
“Wahhh…”
Su Qing had just approached the Tartan soldiers guarding the door when they started shouting at her. Su Qing did not understand what they were saying, so she asked Xiao Qi to translate it in the system.
“Master, they said to retreat and not to approach the First Prince’s yurt.”
So this was the First Prince’s yurt?
Su Qing nodded at them and turned to leave.
In the yurt, the First Prince Ye Lui Heng looked at the scout who came to report with a gloomy expression. His cold voice was filled with anger,
“Trash.”
The people kneeling below were so frightened that they trembled and dared not even breathe loudly.
Hearing the soldiers outside shouting, the First Prince’s expression darkened even more. He asked ruthlessly,
“Who’s there?”
“Reporting to the First Prince, it’s a small soldier.”
The Tartan soldiers standing guard outside the door hurriedly entered the yurt to report. The First Prince was in a bad mood, so he ordered, “Capture him and see if he is a spy sent by the Second Prince.”
“Master, leave quickly. That hook nose wants to catch you.”
Xiao Qi heard the First Prince’s voice in the yurt and quickly informed its master. It could see the image of the yurt in the system and called the First Prince’ Hook Nose.’
Su Qing quickened her pace, and the Tartan soldiers shouted from behind,
“Wah-wah-wah!”
“Master, they asked you to stop.”
When Su Qing heard Xiao Qi’s translation, she sped up and shook off the pursuers behind her. She didn’t know that she had run into the Second Prince’s territory.
The pursuers saw Su Qing running into the Second Prince’s camp, but they didn’t dare to chase after her. They just watched from behind.
“Who is it?”
The Second Prince’s Tartan soldiers also noticed Su Qing and aimed their swords at her.
Su Qing was wearing the First Prince’s guard uniform. They didn’t dare to move, but they were ready for her.
“Master, the others are asking who you are?”
Xiao Qi hurriedly translated for her master. The little fellow was afraid her master would suffer a loss and clenched her little fists nervously. If her master were in danger, it would rush out to protect her.
“The First Prince’s man.”
Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to say this, and Xiao Qi immediately used the language of the Tartans to speak to its master. It translated it into Tartan, and Su Qing said it.
That wouldn’t do either. It would take too much time to translate, and it would be easy to expose herself.
Su Qing asked the system to let her understand and answer fluently in the Tartan language.
The system owed Su Qing a reward, so it had to fulfill Su Qing’s request and give her translation software. She could understand what the Tartan soldiers said, and her words were automatically translated into the Tartan language. It was an advanced software from the future.
When Su Qing received the software, she was confident and no longer worried she would be exposed.
The Tartan soldiers did not dare to touch Su Qing easily because Su Qing had admitted that she was the First Prince’s man. The rest of them glared at Su Qing like tigers eyeing their prey, not allowing her to take a step forward. They sent someone back to ask the Second Prince for instructions.
The First Prince’s soldiers were guarding outside the Second Prince’s camp and hadn’t left. When they saw Su Qing, they didn’t know what she had said to the Second Prince’s men. Soon, the Second Prince’s men came to bring Su Qing to see the Second Prince.
“Quickly go back and tell the First Prince that that person is a spy sent by the Second Prince.”
The Second Prince called Su Qing into the yurt, and the Tartan soldiers who had chased after her quickly returned to report.
Su Qing was brought to the second prince’s yurt. From the outside, the yurt looked no worse than the first prince’s yurt. It was even more luxurious.
Su Qing realized that soldiers were coming and going in the camp. Another patrol team came immediately as soon as a patrol team went past. There was no time in between, and the camp was heavily guarded.
There were four guards with sabers standing at the entrance of the yurt. One look and one could tell that they were highly skilled in martial arts. When they saw Su Qing being brought in, they glared at her like tigers eyeing their prey. Their eyes flickered.
The Tartan soldier who brought Su Qing here reported to the yurt,
“Second Prince, I’ve brought him here.”
“Search him..”
