Chapter 502: Chapter 502. Beat Him at His Own Game
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
How could the two Northern Barbarian soldiers let Jiang Yuyan go? They were still counting on her to get promoted and make a fortune! However, they were also terrified of Su Qing. One of them blocked the front while the other held Jiang Yuyan. They only needed to walk a few hundred meters before they entered the Northern Barbarian World. Once they entered the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, they would be safe. They could not let their efforts go to waste.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t want it.”
Su Qing smirked coldly. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up the snow. The two Northern Barbarian soldiers could not open their eyes because of the snow. When the wind passed, and they opened their eyes, Su Qing had already appeared in front of them like a ghost. With lightning speed, she pressed on their Body Stopping Acupuncture Points.
The Northern Barbarian soldier holding Jiang Yuyan hostage still held his knife against her heart. Su Qing was too lazy to waste time, so she broke his arm and pulled Jiang Yuyan out.
This unlucky Northern Barbarian soldier was in so much pain that his facial features were all bunched together. With a scream, he fainted.
The other Northern Barbarian soldier trembled in fear when he saw Su Qing’s ruthlessness. He wanted to run but couldn’t run away even if he wanted to. He saw Su Qing pick up his scimitar to kill his companion and then use her saber to kill him. He begged with his eyes, hoping that he could live. However, Su Qing gave him a chance to live, and he didn’t take it. Now, there was no chance for him to regret it.
Su Qing killed the two Northern Barbarian soldiers, and the bodyguards behind him immediately came over to deal with the bodies. It was straightforward to deal with them. They were surrounded by knee-deep snow, so they just had to throw their bodies in.
When Zhong Yong saw that his master had saved Jiang Yuyan, he ran over excitedly. Ignoring the fact that everyone was watching, he hugged Jiang Yuyan tightly in his arms.
“Yuyan, it’s alright, it’s alright.
Roar…”
After saying that, he started howling at the top of his lungs. For the first time in his life, he felt afraid. He was scared to death.
Su Qing’s face froze when she saw her disciple bawling. ‘How embarrassing!’
“Xiao Qi, have you memorized the route we took?”
Su Qing didn’t care about her disciple’s private affairs. Her purpose for coming here was to draw a map. Tonight was the best opportunity to attack.
“Master, Xiao Qi has already drawn the map.”
Xiao Qi reported with a smile. With a thought from her master, she started to get busy. She used the system to remember the route along the way and immediately started to draw a map. When her master asked, she took out the map and opened her big round eyes, waiting for her master’s praise.
“Not bad.”
Su Qing praised Xiao Qi. Their master-servant cooperation was becoming more and more tacit. Xiao Qi did not even need to get orders.
“Catch him…”
Just as Su Qing was about to take her men back to Mo City, she heard a shout. It was in the northern barbarian language and was very close to them.
“Everyone, hide.”
Su Qing ordered everyone to lie down in the snow. She stood in the snow and watched the border of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. She saw a black shadow fall to the ground, and a dozen Northern Barbarian soldiers came up to hold him up with knives.
The man still wanted to struggle but was heavily injured and could not break free. He was pulled up from the ground by the Northern Barbarian soldiers. He could not stand steadily and almost fell. Two Northern Barbarian soldiers tied him to the back of the horse and prepared to drag him back.
Su Qing thought of Wuna Ziyan, whom Xiao Zeyu had sent to scout the Northern Barbarians. Before the Northern Barbarians could drag him away, she ordered,
“Leave no one alive.”
After Su Qing gave the order, she immediately shot the Northern Barbarian soldier who wanted to tie the man to the horse. She cut the rope, pulling the man up from the ground. It was Wuna Ziyan.
Wuna Ziyan had thought that he would surely die, but he did not expect the young madam to save him like a god. His eyes were red with gratitude, and he sobbed as he shouted,
“Young Madam.”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Su Qing nodded. She had been worried that he was a traitor, but now she seemed too paranoid. Seeing that Wuna Ziyan was seriously injured, she took out some healing medicine and threw it to her bodyguard to help Wuna Ziyan.
“Put some medicine on him.”
“Yes.”
The personal guards who came with him respected Wuna Ziyan very much. Going to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom alone was like venturing deep into a tiger’s den. He was seriously injured and still managed to run out with his last bit of strength. This perseverance was enough to make them admire him.
Those Northern Barbarian soldiers were surrounded by Zhong Yong, Li Daniu, and his guards. None of them could escape. They were initially here to capture and kill people, but in the end, they were killed. When they chased after him, they were fine. Now they could not go back!
Su Qing saw that the bodyguard had finished applying medicine to Wuna Ziyan and nodded at him.
“You’ve contributed.”
“Thank you, Young Mistress, for saving my life.”
Wuna Ziyan forced himself to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Su Qing. He had almost lost his life at the border of the Northern Barbarians. He was already prepared to die but did not expect the Young Mistress to save him from nowhere.
He would repay the favor of saving his life with his loyalty for the rest of his life.
“How did you get discovered at the Northern Barbarian Kingdom?”
Su Qing ordered people to help Wuna Ziyan up and looked at him to ask. Wuna Ziyan had disguised himself and was wearing the clothes of the ordinary people of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. His appearance was no different from that of the Northern Barbarian people. He was also proficient in the Northern Barbarian language. If he could still be caught, how strict the Northern Barbarians were could be seen.
“I just entered Northern Barbarian City and wanted to check the location of the military camp and the imperial palace where the Northern Barbarian Emperor lives. A group of Northern Barbarian soldiers came to capture me. They were shouting to capture the spy from Mo City. I was cautious and spoke their language. I didn’t know how I was discovered.”
Wuna Ziyan could not understand this point. He was not conspicuous among the citizens of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, so how was he discovered?
“Does anyone know that you are a soldier in Mo City?”
Su Qing suspected that someone in the Northern Barbarians had seen Wuna Ziyan as a soldier in Mo City, so they had discovered him.
“I don’t know!”
Wuna Ziyan shook his head. He couldn’t understand either.
At the same time, in the imperial palace of the capital, the official on duty came to the entrance of Yangxin Palace with an urgent military report. The eunuch asked him to wait outside the palace, and he walked into Yangxin Palace to report to the Emperor,
“Reporting to the emperor, Liang Daren has sent an urgent military report.”
“Bring it up.”
Wan Yulin was wearing a bright yellow robe as he sat behind the dragon table to review the memorial. His expression was solemn and cold, and his brows were furrowed. ‘After his ruthless methods of killing, there was a man-made rebellion? Were these people not afraid of death?’
In addition, there was a shortage of food. All the prefectures asked the imperial court for food, saying that the people would rebel without food.
Food was in the national treasury, but the army had to be fed first. If the generals were not full, how could they use their weapons? How would they kill the enemy?
Wan Yulin hated that these officials of the imperial court could not share the burden of the imperial court. They only knew how to ask for money and food. What was the use of having them?
The biggest threat was no longer the external enemy but Xiao Heng’s son. He had already become a threat; if he were not eliminated soon, it would be a considerable threat.
Only now did Wan Yulin understand why his father feared the Xiao family’s child. He had developed too quickly.
Hearing the eunuch’s report, Wan Yulin did not look up from the memorials. The eunuch led Lord Liang into Yangxin Palace Hall, and Wan Yulin looked up. His eyes were filled with impatience as he said coldly,
“What is it?”
