Chapter 298: Chapter 298. What’s The Use of Such a Dynasty?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Many armored soldiers had come to Luo City. The Wan Family’s military flag fluttered in the wind and was eye-catching. Solemn armoured soldiers were everywhere, and they were rampaging on the streets. The civilians were so scared that they fled in all directions.

“What happened? It was fine when I left.”

Yang Zhi looked at the chaotic Luo City with a worried expression. Su Qing returned to her male disguise and rode her beloved horse, Black, expressionlessly looking at the rampaging Wan Family Army.

They were no different from the Tartan soldiers and the Hu. They treated ordinary people like dirt.

What was the use of such a dynasty?

“Let’s go to the Su Residence.”

Yang Zhi waited for the armored soldiers to pass before telling Su Qing. To avoid appearing too big of a target, they dismounted and led their horses away. The carriages also spread out.

The escorts accompanied the goods back to the escort agency. Su Qing and Yang Zhi went to the Su Residence. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Su Residence, they saw a group of armored soldiers coming out of the Su Residence with stern expressions. They rode their horses and galloped away.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Qing threw down the reins of her horse and walked quickly into the Su residence. Yang Zhi was also worried about following her into the residence.

The manor was in chaos. The servants were kneeling on the ground, shivering. Second Master Su’s face was pale as he wiped off his cold sweat.

“Second Master Su, what happened?”

Yang Zhi strode over and entreated Second Master Su.

“Let’s talk inside.”

Su Hanxuan still had lingering fears and dared not discuss this matter in the courtyard. He invited Yang Zhi into the house, and when he saw Su Qing disguised as a man behind Yang Zhi, he was stunned for a moment. It was apparent that he was hesitating whether he should let her in.

“I am Su Qing.”

Su Qing took a step forward and whispered his name to Su Hanxuan. When he heard that his daughter had returned, Su Hanxuan’s body trembled, and his eyes instantly turned red. He looked at Su Qing with love and longing but did not dare to acknowledge her.

Struggle, pain, worry...

That gaze was filled with so much meaning that Su Qing felt sad.

She followed behind Su Hanxuan silently and did not ask a single question about Xiao Chen. She could enter and exit the army without any harm, but she could not guarantee the safety of her parents and Xiao Chen.

Therefore, now was not a good time to reunite!

Su Hanxuan also suppressed the excitement and panic in her heart. He didn’t say a word as he led them to the study. He only dared to speak after closing the door tightly.

“Many Wan Family soldiers came to Luo City. They arrested Luan Zhizhou and searched his entire family as soon as they arrived. I was also searched because I was related to him. It’s hard to say what will happen after that. Would it destroy the nine clans? It’s too dangerous here. Leave quickly!”

Su Hanxuan looked at Su Qing as he said that. His daughter was right before him, but he dared not acknowledge her. Now, Su Hanxuan had already put his life and death aside. All he wanted was for his children to be safe.

Su Hanxuan’s eyes were filled with love and worry for his daughter. When he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears.

“Where’s Chen?”

Su Qing looked at Su Hanxuan and asked. Her intuition told her that these armored soldiers were here for Xiao Chen.

“He’s in a safe place with Ruxue. You don’t have to worry.”

When Su Hanxuan heard that his daughter was concerned about Xiao Chen, he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. He raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. It was as painful as parting with life and death.

“Follow me to Mo City.”

Su Qing’s heart ached when she saw Su Hanxuan wiping his tears. This was the feeling of being connected by blood. She looked at Su Hanxuan and asked him to leave with her.

“Brother Su, Su Qing is right. Luo City has become a tiger’s den. It would be best if you left as soon as possible. 1 can escort you safely to Mo City.”

“I can’t leave. Luan Zhizhou and I are close friends and relatives. If their family is in trouble, how can I be considered a close friend if I escape first?”

Su Hanxuan shook his head gently. He had nothing to fear as long as his wife and children were safe.

“What can you do if you stay?”

Yang Zhi was anxious about Brother Su brother who is too benevolent. He would rather the world thought negatively of him.

“Now that Luan Zhizhou has been dismissed from office and imprisoned by the Imperial Court, can a commoner like you still save someone from the Imperial Court?”

“I can give up all my assets and spend a huge sum to protect Luan Zhizhou.”

Su Hanxuan had already made up his mind. The daughter would return after she left. If he didn’t care about Luan Zhizhou’s family, no one could save them.

“I’m just afraid you won’t be able to protect them even if you spend a lot of money.”

Yang Zhi was anxious, but he knew Su Hanxuan’s stubbornness. No one could persuade him to do something he had decided on.

“Brother Yang, please safely send Ruxue and Xiao Chen out of the city. I suspect that those people are here because of the children.”

Su Hanxuan smiled sadly when he saw Yang Zhi worried about him. He begged him to safely take Xiao Chen and Ruxue out of Luo City.

“I’ll save Zhizhou Luan’s family. You leave with Yang Zhi first.”

Su Qing saw that her father was stubborn about saving Luan Zhizhou’s family. Since it was useless to persuade him, she would help him save them.

She sounded very confident, but how could Su Hanxuan dare to let his daughter retake the risk? He quickly dissuaded,

” You don’t need to worry about them. 1 have my ways. If it’s just because of the child’s matter and no other reason, spending money should be able to protect them. Hurry up and leave with Xiao Chen.”

Su Qing didn’t say anything more and turned to ask about Xiao Chen.

“Where is Xiao Chen?” n-)o-.V--e-(L-/b.)I(/n

“I took him and the...He and Ruxue are in the nunnery on the mountain. No one knows. They are very safe. Go and take them away.”

Su Hanxuan almost blurted out his mother and brother but swallowed the words. He would not let anyone know Su Qing’s identity to protect his daughter.

“Alright, I’ll take them away first.”

Su Qing nodded. Her father was not in danger for the time being, but Xiao Chen was in extreme danger. She had to see Xiao Chen be at ease.

Coming out of the Su Residence, Su Qing saw the Wan Family Army grabbing a child and walking towards the government office. The child was sprawled on the horse’s back, crying for his mother and father. His cries were highly miserable.

A couple stumbled behind them. Their foreheads were bleeding, and their bodies were covered in soil. They fell and got up occasionally, crying and begging the First Master to let go of their child.

Who would have thought that the imperial court’s army brought this tragedy to the people?

Yang Zhi was filled with grief and resentment. Fortunately, Brother Su had the foresight to hide the child. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would have been taken away by these beasts.

Previously, they still had some dignity. When they snatched the children, they did not wear military uniforms, making people think they were bandits. Now, they did not even care about their dignity. They blatantly snatched the children on the street.

None of the commoners on the streets dared to step out and criticize the Wan Family Army. Under the absolute deterrence of force, the commoners were obedient.

They could only watch helplessly as the soldiers supposed to protect them snatched their children away. There was only grief and resentment in everyone’s eyes. They did not know who else could defend them.

Su Qing looked toward the Wan Family Army with a dark face. Yang Zhi scolded,

“These animals are worse than pigs and dogs.”

Yang Zhi clenched his fists tightly and was burning with anger. He had martial arts, but he could not uphold justice. He was about to explode after saving those poor children.

“Where is that place?”

Su Qing’s voice was calm, but her eyes were as cold as ice. She pointed toward the Wan Family Army and asked Yang Zhi..
