Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Xiao Zeyu heard that Su Qing had gone to the blacksmith shop again, he knew she had gone to make grenades. Qing’er was afraid that the Wan Family Army would attack the city, and they would not have any weapons to defend themselves.

Xiao Zeyu felt that the heavens had sent Qing’er to his side. With Qing’ er by his side, he was better than a thousand troops!

Since Su Qing wasn’t in danger, Xiao Zeyu searched the entire city for carpenters and wood. The streets were still empty after the sun had risen because of last night’s battle.

Yesterday, he was too busy to eat. When he arrived at Jin City, he attacked the city. He had been busy building the city gate when he took down the city. He had not been idle for a moment. He did not even have time to drink water. Now, he felt hungry but had no place to buy food.

“Send the gang leader to the barracks to see if there is any food. When they find food, let them cook first.”

Xiao Zeyu gave his guards his orders while he continued searching for a carpenter’s shop. Along the way to West City, he heard the sounds of an argument.

“Are you a bandit? How can you sneak into my shop? What did you forge my iron into? Why did you melt my hoe and my broadsword?”

The boss of the blacksmith shop had been concerned about his shop, so he had secretly come out in the morning to take a look. He dared to come to the blacksmith shop only when he saw no Hu or Nanman on the street. In the end, he found that the lock of his shop had been smashed off, and a young woman was standing in the room, tinkling and tinkling. Who knew what she was doing?

The blacksmith thought that he had walked into the wrong shop. He ran out to confirm if it was his shop before coming in to argue with Su Qing.

“Here.”

Su Qing didn’t waste any time talking to him. She took out a banknote worth fifty taels and handed it over.

“I bought it.”

“... Buy...Buy it?”

Su Qing’s bold and generous spending stunned the blacksmith. Fifty taels of silver to buy his broken shop? Was this girl crazy?

“Get me some more iron. There’s too little iron in your shop, and it’s not worth fifty taels.”

Su Qing ordered coldly, and the blacksmith immediately agreed.

“Alright, alright, let me look for iron for you.”

The blacksmith walked out happily with a huge sum of fifty taels. No wonder his left eyelid was twitching in the morning. He was lucky to have a pie in the sky.

As soon as the blacksmith walked out of the blacksmith shop, he saw Xiao Zeyu covered in blood. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Xiao Zeyu with fear. His entire body froze, not daring to move at all.

“I am the Xiao family’s army, I don’t harm civilians.”

Xiao Zeyu gave him a gentle smile and revealed his identity.

“Go tell the people in the city to live a normal life and not be afraid.”

“Xiao Family Army?”

Hearing the words’ Xiao Family Army,’ the blacksmith’s eyes were excited. It was completely different from the fear he had just now.

“You are the Xiao Family Army? This is great. We commoners have been waiting for you to come back.”

“Everyone, don’t be afraid. The Xiao Family’s Army is back, we are saved.”

The blacksmith was running on the empty street, and his joyful voice spread from the street to the end of the street. It was the joy that came from his heart, and the love for the Xiao Family’s Army was in his bones.

Xiao Zeyu looked at the blacksmith’s back and heard his excited shouts. His eyes reddened. Father, how much do you love the people? So, after many years, the commoners still couldn’t forget about the Xiao Family’s Army.

Su Qing ran out of raw materials and had no choice but to stop. She lazily leaned against the door of the blacksmith shop and smiled like a spring breeze. She lazily said to Xiao Zeyu.

“You’re here?” n./o..v--e-/L-(b-.1/(n

She hadn’t slept the entire night, and faint circles were under her eyes. Her voice was a little hoarse, but her eyes were as bright as pearls. The corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows exuded a feminine charm. She leaned her head against the door frame and looked at Xiao Zeyu with a smile.

At this moment, she no longer had the killing intent from yesterday’s battlefield. She was just a cute little girl.

Xiao Zeyu’s heart ached. He walked over and grabbed Su Qing’s hand. Her hand was icy, and her right palm was covered in calluses. He saw the finished grenade on the floor of the blacksmith shop. Qing’er must be exhausted after making so many grenades. He pulled Su Qing into his arms, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

“Qing’er, you’ve worked hard. Quickly find an inn to wash up and sleep.”

“I can’t sleep yet. 1 have to hurry up and make the wooden handle. This grenade is only half completed, and I still have to install gunpowder as the fuse. I have to hurry up.”

Su Qing leaned into Xiao Zeyu’s arms and closed her eyes. Her breath was filled with a familiar scent. She snuggled comfortably in his arms, looking for a comfortable position like a kitten.

A low sound came out from Xiao Zeyu’s embrace. It was a little like sleep-talking. It was soft and gentle, and there was no sound after the last two words.

Xiao Zeyu lowered his head and looked at Su Qing in his arms. His eyes were filled with heartache. Other women would sit in the inner hall to embroider, draw flowers, birds, fish, and insects, and play the zither, making their slaves and maids carefree.

However, his woman had to follow him on the battlefield. She was so tired that she fell asleep standing.

“Qing’er, when I conquer the world, 1 will not disappoint you.”

Xiao Zeyu lovingly kissed Su Qing on the top of her head and whispered to her from the bottom of his heart.

“Alright.”

Su Qing, who was already asleep, replied with a single word. Xiao Zeyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Su Qing, who was still in his arms with her eyes closed. His low voice carried a hint of laughter,

“Pretending to sleep, huh?”

“I’m asleep. I’m awake.”

Su Qing came out of Xiao Zeyu’s arms and stretched her back. She had only needed a nap to regain her energy, and she could still go on a killing spree.

“Are you hungry? I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Xiao Zeyu took Su Qing’s hand and asked her with a smile. His voice was filled with affection for Su Qing.

“Okay, I’m hungry.”

Su Qing smiled at him innocently. At this moment, she was a little princess who was doted on. She did not need to wear her cold armor to defend or attack. She just wanted to be a little woman by Shuisheng’s side.

The sun rose in the east. Su Qing squinted at the sun in the sky. Suddenly, she turned to look at Xiao Zeyu and smiled brightly.

“Shuisheng, let’s go farm after the war is over. We’ll plant ten thousand mu of fertile land together, harvest golden wheat in June, harvest corn in September, plant rice in the water, plant sweet potatoes and potatoes in the dry land, raise ten thousand fat sheep, ten thousand fat pigs, and not a single chicken, duck, goose, or dog will be left behind. If you want to eat eggs, we’ll feed your chickens. If you want to eat meat, we’ll kill pigs. We’ll grind our rice and white flour, have ten more children, and bring them to the farm...”

The more Su Qing spoke, the brighter her eyes became. It was as if she could already see the joy of a family harvesting food and the children happily chasing sheep on the grass.

Su Qing’s illustration attracted Xiao Zeyu. A wave of wheat seemed to appear in front of his eyes. In the golden wheat spiral, Su Qing and their children waved at him...

Just thinking about this scene made him feel extremely blissful.

Xiao Zeyu hugged Su Qing’s shoulders and accompanied her as they watched the sun rise bit by bit. His deep voice carried a solemn promise.

“Alright, after we finish the war, 1’11 accompany you in whatever you want to do.”

“Deal.”

Su Qing’s heart was filled with mischief. She stretched out her dainty little finger and smiled at Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu smiled and shook his head. The way he looked at Su Qing was filled with deep love. He also stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Su Qing.

“They’re here, they’re here!”
