“The Heavenly Teacher said... God wants our Northern Barbarian Kingdom to become the overlord of the world. He has given us a great killing weapon to help the Emperor expand his territory. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we remove Mo City and Jingshi Dao, the entire northwest will belong to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.”
Urhan only wished to spill everything he knew through this heart-wrenching pain.
The more Xiao Zeyu listened, the more he felt that Qiu Yongkang was the one who said this. Su Qing felt the same way. Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu and revealed a mysterious smile.
Xiao Zeyu immediately understood Su Qing’s thoughts. He didn’t stop Qiu Yongkang so that Qiu Yongkang would suffer the consequences!
“Men, chop off Urhan’s head.”
Su Qing ordered the personal guards to protect him. When Urhan heard that Su Qing had finally allowed him to die quickly, his eyes were filled with excitement. He only wished for a quick death.
Xiao Zeyu ordered domineeringly,
“Find the leader of the captured Northern Barbarian soldiers and ask him to take Urhan’s head back to their Emperor. Take along my challenge letter and tell the dog emperor of the Northern Barbarians that the day of his subjugation has arrived since he dared to invade my Mo City.”
Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu and smiled. He could always guess what she was going to do. He supported her unconditionally.
Since he was going to attack the Northern Barbarians, he had to prepare early. First, he had to repair his city walls and rebuild the city gates that had been blown up. He also had to prepare a map to ensure nothing would go wrong in the complicated terrain of the Northern Barbarians.
Since the Northern Barbarians would kill Central Plainsmen whenever they saw them, they couldn’t send scouts to scout the terrain. Xiao Zeyu wanted to go there himself, but Cheng Yu stopped him.
Young Master, you can’t put yourself in danger every time. Then what do you need us soldiers for?”
“Uncle Cheng, do you have any good ideas?”
Xiao Zeyu asked Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu cupped his fists and replied, “Young Master, there are soldiers of the Northern Barbarian bloodline in the army. Their ancestral homes are in Northern Barbaria.” Examine the origin of this data, deeply intertwined with n0v[lbin★
“Is this person reliable?”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t expect that there would be Northern Barbarians in his army. He was a little worried.
“His name is Wuna Ziyan. His father is from the Northern Barbarians, and his mother is from Mo City. He has been with me through life and death for many years.”
Although Su Qing didn’t smile, her voice was much gentler and more approachable than before. This made Aunt Li feel flattered.
Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er were doing needlework in the house. Xiaoying worked non-stop every day to make herself feel better. When she heard Su Qing’s voice, she excitedly threw down the needlework in her hand and ran out of the house to see her sister-in-law.
Seeing her sister-in-law walk into the courtyard, Xiaoying called out crisply, “Sister-in-law.”
“Xiaoying, I came to see you.”
Su Qing’s heart ached a little when she saw the thin Xiaoying, but this had to be experienced while growing up. No one could sway her, so she could only wait for her to recover.
“Sister-in-law, I miss you.”
Xiaoying’s eyes reddened. She hugged Su Qing and buried her face in her shoulder. She missed her brother and sister-in-law!
She regretted not attending the wedding between her brother and Sister Su Qing! After they got married, they went out to fight. She hadn’t seen them for more than half a month.
She thought they wouldn’t be able to return for the new year. She didn’t expect her sister-in-law and brother to give her a surprise.
“You missed us. Aren’t we back?”
Su Qing comforted her softly. She had been patient with Xiaoying, and her heart ached for Xiaoying after suffering so much.
“Sister-in-law will make delicious food for you. You’ve lost weight.”
“Sure, I’ll help Sister-in-law.”
Hearing that her sister-in-law would cook something delicious for her, Xiaoying instantly became happy. She returned to her innocent and romantic self and smiled without a care.
Su Qing saw that Xiaoying was happy and couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that she had walked out of the haze.
Aunt Li was enthusiastic. She immediately sent her husband and son to kill the sheep. When Jiang Yuyan’s parents heard that Su Qing had arrived at Old Li’s house, they killed an old hen and sent it over. They wanted Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu to eat well.
Eat more good food so you will have the strength to fight. I told Old Li to help when the city wall is consolidated. Our Mo City can’t just rely on the Xiao Family Army to fight. Everyone should protect our homeland together.” Jiang Yuyan’s father was still a little hot-blooded. He told Su Qing about his and Old Li’s plans. Not only would they go if their son didn’t go to the coal mine to pull coal, but they would also go to help. Their daughter couldn’t do any physical work but could fetch water and food. The whole family would mobilize to help the Xiao family defend the city.
Hearing Father Jiang’s words, Su Qing felt that it was worth it for him and Shuisheng to protect them with their lives. At least they knew how to be grateful.
She thought that her father-in-law used to protect the commoners because of their love for the Xiao Family Army.
After Xiao Zeyu finished his work, he heard that Su Qing had gone to Old Li’s house to see Xiaoying, so he rushed over. Just as he reached Old Li’s house, he heard someone calling him..
