Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If he didn’t advance, he would retreat!
The relationship between him and the Empress and the Second Prince had already reached the point where fire and water could not tolerate each other. The next step would depend on who would act faster.
Su Qing nodded. He seemed to have a plan, so she didn’t have to worry about it.
If Yeluchun couldn’t even protect himself, he wouldn’t be qualified to be the ruler of a country in the future!
The secret passage was under Yeluchun’s yurt. He brought Su Qing into the yurt and removed his tiger skin chair. He lifted the carpet and pressed it somewhere. A cold, dark tunnel appeared under the chair.
“I’ve wronged Miss Su.”
Yeluchun apologized to Su Qing apologetically.
“Take care.”
Su Qing only said one sentence to him before jumping down the secret passage. As soon as she went down, Yeluchun quickly closed the secret passage.
When Su Qing left, the Empress rushed to Yeluchun’s camp with the Royal Guards.
Yeluchun took a deep breath and strode out to welcome her.
The secret passage was so dark that she couldn’t see her fingers. Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to light a torch, and they could see much more clearly with the torch.
The secret passage was two meters high. Most of Tartan was made of sandy soil and was propped up with wood and planks in case of a landslide. The cold wind in the secret passage blew, and the flames on the torches swayed back and forth.
Su Qing raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Yeluchun had a plan and wouldn’t take a beating passively.
After walking out of the secret passage, Su Qing realized that this was a cemetery of the Tartan people. The entrance of the secret passage was behind the tomb, and there was a protruding stone on the wall. Su Qing stepped forward and pressed the stone in. A creaking sound was heard, and the tomb wall cracked open. An intense light rushed in, and the blue sky, white clouds, and the golden sun were in front of her.
The door opening disturbed the black-robed man sitting in the cemetery. He suddenly looked up at the source of the sound. Su Qing walked out of the tomb and saw the black-robed man meditating.
It was obtained without any effort!
Su Qing gave him a cold smile.
“What a coincidence.”
The man in black was so scared that he jumped up from the ground and wanted to run. Su Qing finally met him; how could she let him run?
Before Su Qing could give chase, Xiao Qi flew out of the system. Her fat white body crashed into the man in black like a top. The man in black threw a fog bomb on the ground, and before he could escape from the smoke, he was knocked down by Xiao Qi.
After Lil Fatty Qi’s successful collision, her chubby little body flew into the air and smashed heavily onto the man in black, who had fallen to the ground.
“Aiyo.”
The man in black was smashed so hard that his bones were broken. He screamed in pain, and his sharp voice sounded like a crow’s cry. Su Qing stepped forward and stepped on his head. She bent down and pulled off the mask on his face.
He was a skinny old man with bald eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and hawk eyes. At first glance, he looked like an eagle that had become a spirit. The wrinkles on his face were like a harmonica, and his skin was as dry as the bark of a withered tree.
Su Qing recognized him at first glance. Wasn’t he the Taoist priest she saw at the Empress’s palace that day?
She should have known that it was him. Taoist masters usually liked to do these unorthodox things.
“Spare me, spare me.”
Ye Changsheng kept begging for mercy, his hand quietly reaching into his chest. Little Fatty Qi noticed his movement and pounced on him, biting his dry claw with his sharp teeth.
“Ah!”
“Ah! “Ye Changsheng screamed. Su Qing went over and crippled his wrist so he could no longer cause trouble.
The object in Ye Changsheng’s hand also fell to the ground. It was a white thing that looked like a pigeon’s egg. When Su Qing looked over, something changed. It turned into a poisonous snake that was so white and transparent. It flew up toward Su Qing.
Su Qing raised her knife and chopped off its head. When the snake’s head fell to the ground, it jumped up and bit Ye Changsheng’s nose tightly.
Ye Changsheng’s eyes widened in horror. He didn’t even have time to scream. His face quickly turned green and black. Black blood flowed from his mouth, nose, ears, and seven orifices. He died.
This was a venomous snake. He had raised it and enjoyed the best way to die. It had been put to good use.
Su Qing wanted to ask about the Human Demon, but she couldn’t ask anymore since he was already dead. However, she couldn’t leave his body outside the Third Prince’s secret passage, so she took out the Corpse Dissolving Powder and melted it.
After the incident in Tartan came to an end, Su Qing rushed back to Mo City.
Cheng Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Su Qing.
“Miss Su, if you still didn’t return, I would have brought my soldiers to look for you. Last night, we watched all night, and no one came to steal the detonator.”
Miss Su was Young Master’s sweetheart. If something happened to her, he would not be able to face Young Master.
“I’ve already killed him. Mo City is very safe now.”
Su Qing had not slept last night and was very tired after a day of running around. She informed Cheng Yu and went back to rest.
Xiaoying and Godmother were making cotton shoes at home. They were made of sheepskin. The sheepskin boots were cold and damp, and the inside of the shoes was made of wool, which was very warm.
This was something she learned from the people of Tartan. Their cotton boots were made of sheepskin, and it was no problem for them to step on snow. “Godmother, will Sister Su Qing be in danger?”
The mother and child waited for Su Qing to return while making shoes. Xiaoying asked her godmother worriedly.
“She’ll be fine. Your Sister Su Qing has the blessings of Bodhisattva!”
Madam Li advised Xiaoying. She felt that Su Qing was blessed and had the protection of the heavens.
“I’m back.”
Her heart warmed when Su Qing heard her godmother and Xiaoying worry about her at the door. In the past, no matter what she did, no one would miss her. This was the difference between a person with a family and a person without one.
“Sister Su Qing, you’re finally back.”
Xiaoying heard Su Qing’s voice and dropped her work. She jumped down and asked considerately,
“You must be hungry. I’ll go and cook for you.”
“I’m hungry.”
Su Qing nodded. She hadn’t eaten anything since last night, and her stomach grew in protest.
Xiaoying heard Sister Su Qing was hungry and ran to the kitchen without stopping. She first heated a bowl of goat’s milk and brought it in. “Sister Su Qing, you drink the goat’s milk first. I’ll stick the biscuits.”
She was like a hardworking little bee, flying in and out, busy.
Su Qing looked at her with a smile. She picked up the warm goat’s milk and drank it. After drinking the bowl of goat’s milk, her whole body felt warm.
Xiaoying was busy cooking in the kitchen. When Qiu Yongkang heard that Su Qing had returned, he came to see her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiaoying putting pancakes into the big pot. Seeing her busy figure, Qiu Yongkang’s handsome face broke into a smile,
“Xiaoying, is your Sister Su Qing in the house?”
“Brother Yongkang, my Sister Su Qing is in the house!”
Seeing that it was Qiu Yongkang, Ji Xiaoying called out happily. Her voice was crisp and sweet as if it had been tempered with honey.
“Cooking?”
Qiu Yongkang liked to listen to Xiaoying talk, so he asked.
“Yes, Brother Yongkang, have you eaten?”
Xiaoying placed the pancake on the edge of the pot and asked Qiu Yongkang with a smile.
“I have.”
“1 have something to discuss with Su Qing.”
Qiu Yongkang looked at Xiaoying’s bright smile and was cheerful. He smiled as he spoke but couldn’t bear to take his eyes off her face. He said, but he wasn’t hurrying to enter the house.
“Yongkang, what’s the matter?”
