The man in black wrote down the address of the Chamber of Commerce. Su Qing memorized it with a glance and asked Xiao Qi to check the data in the system to see how many days it would take to reach Jincheng.

“Master, from the capital to Jincheng, we must walk two hundred and twenty miles.”

Xiao Qi entered the address her master gave into the system and told Su Qing after finding the data.

The 220-mile distance was neither too far nor too close. The road was uneven, and it would take at least nine hours by carriage. It was noon, and they would reach Jincheng after midnight if they set off now.

Su Qing was worried they would take that person away from the Great Tang, so she couldn’t care less about ginseng, much less go back and inform Xiao Zeyu. She decided to go to Jincheng immediately.

Because she was not sure if what the man in black said was true, she was not in a hurry to kill him. Instead, she took him with her to Jincheng.

When the guards heard that the Empress was going to Jincheng, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

“Empress, we dare not. Please return to the palace.”

How could they dare to take the Empress away without permission? If anything were to happen, the Emperor would execute their entire family.

”1 have to go. Return to the palace and report to the Emperor that I went to Jincheng.”

Su Qing looked at them with a cold face. No one could stop her from making a decision. In order not to let the guards delay her, she pressed their acupoints.

The guards looked at the Empress in a daze. The Empress’ martial arts were unfathomable. They were also considered experts, but they couldn’t escape the Empress’s plot.

“Master, I’ll go with you.”

Zhong Yong ran over with a big bag of herbs in his arms. He loved to go on missions with his master the most, and it was gratifying to fight.

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded her head. Zhong Yong was powerful, and his martial arts were strong. He alone could fight ten people, and he was obedient.

Seeing that his master had agreed, Zhong Yongle’s mouth was wide open.

“Empress, please help us release our acupoints. We are willing to protect Empress to Jincheng.”

The guard, Little Ding, begged Su Qing. Su Qing pressed their immobilizing acupoints, not their mute acupoints, so that they could speak freely.

The other three guards also nodded vigorously.

If they accompanied the Empress to Jincheng, the Emperor might angrily punish them. Still, if they did not follow the Empress if something happened to the Empress, then the crime would be great, and the entire family would be implicated.

Compared to the two, it was better to accompany the Empress to Jincheng to protect her with all their might. There was still a chance of survival.

“No need. Go back and help me report to the Emperor. I’ll write a letter for you to take back.”

Lunchtime had passed, and it was already late afternoon. Xiao Zeyu couldn’t wait any longer and asked the eunuch.

“The Empress did not say.”

The eunuch trembled in fear. The key was that they couldn’t stop him.

Xiao Zeyu saw that he didn’t know anything and angrily slammed the table,”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“The Empress said that she would be back very soon and did not let us go to the throne room to report. She said that your affairs of the country are flourishing and that we should not disturb you for small matters.”

The eunuch replied with a trembling voice. They didn’t dare to tell the Emperor, afraid that the Emperor would blame them. They believed the Empress’ words even more, and now their intestines were green with regret. “She didn’t want to tell me, so you didn’t say anything? If anything happens to the Empress, who will be responsible?”

Xiao Zeyu was furious. It seemed that he was too good to these eunuchs and serving girls. He was so good that they forgot their dignity and dared to hide it from him.

Just as Xiao Zeyu was about to order the eunuchs and serving girls to be dragged out and given fifty lashes, the eunuch guarding the door ran in to report.

“Reporting to the emperor, niangniang’s guards have returned.”

“Call them in.”

Hearing that the guards had returned, Xiao Zeyu’s brows furrowed even more tightly. Only the guards had returned, but what about Su Qing?

The three guards walked into the palace dejectedly and knelt on the ground together. Xiao Zeyu closed his eyes in anger when he saw this. When he opened his eyes, he gritted his teeth and ordered,

“Speak.”

“Reporting to the Emperor, the Empress has captured a group of assassins.

This is the letter she asked us to deliver to the Emperor.”

The guard took Su Qing’s letter and handed it to the eunuch beside him, hoping the Emperor would spare their lives after reading the Empress’ letter.

Xiao Zeyu calmed himself down and opened the letter.

Su Qing wrote very briefly,

“Shuisheng, time is of the essence, so I can’t come back and tell you the details. I’m going to Jincheng now. Lanting has an important task. Sea City Base has a ship to pick them up.”

After Xiao Zeyu finished reading the letter, he glared at the three guards with a dark expression. The three guards were so scared that they kept quiet out of fear.

“Take them away and give each of them fifty strokes.”

Xiao Zeyu took a deep breath. In the end, he still didn’t kill them.

Because he knew that no one could stop Qing’er from doing what she wanted to do!

Su Qing arrived at Jincheng in the middle of the night. The city gates were tightly shut, and the city guards patrolled the city walls.

“Go and call the gate..”
