“This isn’t a place with good Feng Shui, nor where one’s descendants will die. You said that just to lure me and Qing’er here.”

Xiao Zeyu jumped down from the high ground. His expression was cold as he came before the Daoist priest.

“Speak. Who sent you?”

“This poor priest doesn’t know what the emperor said?”

The Daoist priest was still stubborn; even though Xiao Zeyu had exposed him, he pretended to be confused.

Su Qing ordered everyone to retreat a hundred meters away. Then, she carried the Taoist priest to where he had dug the hole and unsealed his acupoints. She ordered coldly,

“You dig.”

The Taoist priest’s face turned pale. He shook his head and refused.

“I still have to do the ritual. I don’t have the strength to dig.”

Su Qing’s expression was cold as ice as she drew her sword and slashed at the Taoist priest’s leg. The blade cut into the white bone, and blood flowed out. The Taoist priest screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

“If you don’t dig, I’ll kill you today.”

Su Qing stood coldly in front of the screaming Daoist priest. The flexible sword in her hand was pointed at the Daoist priest’s nose. Her cold voice carried a chilling, killing intent.

“I can’t dig, I can’t dig.”

The Taoist priest was still rolling around. Su Qing could feel the murderous aura in the forest. Someone threw a black object at them. Two guards flew up and kicked the black object back. The object exploded in the forest after it landed, sending the assassins lying in ambush flying.

As soon as the explosion sounded, Cheng Yu led the Xiao Family’s Army and rushed up from the foot of the mountain. The soldiers spread out to clear out the assassins lying in ambush in the forest.

Some killers threw explosives, but they were all knocked back by the soldiers with their shields. The Xiao Family Army had an absolute number of people, so the killers were outnumbered. They were captured and killed, and they were quickly eliminated.

Su Qing threw a grenade at the spot where the Taoist priest had asked them to dig a hole. The ground shook, and an explosion sounded.

“It seems that all ethnic groups are good at singing and dancing. Only we Han people lack this line.”

“It’s not that. It’s just that our dance is more entertaining, and their dance is more enjoyable.”

Xiao Zeyu shook his head. In his country, as long as the daughters of families with status were good at dancing, they would dance beautifully. It was just that they didn’t feel the unrestrained nature of the minority dances.

“Yes.”

Su Qing smiled and nodded. She liked this kind of dance very much. It felt like all her troubles could be danced away, leaving only happiness.

The two watched for a while before the hospitable girls and boys joined them to dance. Su Qing only learned for a while before she could blend in. Xiao Zeyu learned faster than her. The two of them were sweating profusely, but they were pleased.

“Shuisheng, the people of our country have already solved the problem of food and clothing. Why don’t we let them live as happily as these Tartars?”

Su Qing felt relaxed after dancing. She liked this feeling very much. She wanted the people of the Great Tang Kingdom to be as carefree as those of the Tartan Kingdom and live a relaxed and pressure-free life.

“Alright, I’ll get the Ministry of Rites to choose a few festivals when we return. When the time comes, the whole country will celebrate. We can hold dancing and singing competitions. It’ll be more lively that way.”

Xiao Zeyu laughed when he heard Su Qing’s words. He had the same thoughts and had already made plans in his heart.

“Alright.”

Su Qing felt that Xiao Zeyu’s idea was excellent. She suddenly felt that the name he had chosen was not bad. It was said that the Great Tang was in its heyday.

She suddenly felt that perhaps she was living in a dream and everything was an illusion.

However, her soul had drifted to the Great Tang Empire and watched it grow step by step, becoming the largest empire in the four seas.

Xiao Zeyu noticed that Su Qing’s smile had turned serious, and she had a thoughtful look. He waved his hand in front of Su Qing’s eyes and said, “What are you thinking about?”

“Aiya...”

Su Qing suddenly grabbed his fingers and twisted them. Her strength made Xiao Zeyu cry out in pain.

Yes, it wasn’t a dream!

Just as Su Qing was sure he was not in an illusion, she saw a familiar figure..
