Chapter 273 Don’t Bully Me

Zhao Neng looked at Su Ying helplessly, "Lord Zhu has been asking to see the city lord."

Zhu Lin has been restless these past few days, jumping up and down in the palace for no reason. Most of the things that need to be said have been tricked out by him.

But it wasn't something that couldn't be made known to others, so she didn't interfere.

"Let him in."

Zhu Lin was tall and thin, with exceptionally fair skin, so fair that it seemed somewhat transparent under the light. No wonder Jiang Yang had always disliked his mother, his demeanor and appearance did make her look like a woman.

"Cousin~~" As Zhu Lin entered the hall, he opened his peach blossom eyes and looked at her pitifully. His look was so pitiful that it made me feel even more sorry for her.

Su Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at him leisurely, "What's the matter?"

"Did my cousin go back to Chu?"

My cousin...

This name sounds really disgusting.

"right."

Zhu Lin's face lit up, "Cousin still cares about us. Since he's leaving, we have to leave too. Oh, right, Xiao Ling'er and Ji'er, how about I take them back first? When cousin wins the battle, they can return to Beijing with him in triumph."

Su Ying suddenly chuckled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Zhu Lin, do you want to die?"

Zhu Lin's fair face trembled, and his eyes turned red, "Cousin, please don't bully me."

If someone dares to pay attention to her child, he must want to die.

"I'll give you one hour to disappear from the city, otherwise, I'll make you disappear from this world. Get lost."

Before Zhu Lin left, he looked at Su Ying with resentment, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Are all the men in the capital of Chu State so disgusting?"

Zhao Neng hurriedly shook his head, "City Lord, I guarantee with my character that only Lord Zhu can do this."

"What the hell is he?"

In Su Ying's memory, Zhu Lin's biological mother was the cousin of Xiao Jin's mother, a cousin who could be as far away as the horizon. Because her family was in poverty, she went to Xiao Jin's mother's clan for refuge. Because of the relationship with Xiao Jin's mother's clan, she married a cabinet minister as his stepwife.

Even though she was only a stepwife, if it weren't for the relationship with Xiao Jin's maternal family, she wouldn't even be qualified to be a concubine.

But before the Wei family encountered trouble, Zhu Lin was still Xiao Jin's study partner. After the Wei family encountered trouble, Zhu Lin's biological mother asked him to leave the palace on the grounds that Zhu Lin was unwell and no longer be Xiao Jin's study partner. Her move to sever ties with him was very ruthless.

On the surface, Zhu Lin acts like he is innocent and weak and asks everyone not to bully him. But who knows if he has evil thoughts in his mind.

He wants to leave now, probably because he feels that he has figured out the situation in the city. She doesn't care about his little tricks, but if he wants to take her child away as a threat to Xiao Jin, she can let him die!

Zhu Lin and his group were thrown directly out of the city.

As soon as they went out, the Southern soldiers squatting outside became alert like a cat seeing a mouse.

Last time, they lost a lot of soldiers because of these people. Now, the Southern soldiers looked at the closed door behind them and sneered at Zhu Lin with malicious intent.

Zhu Lin was really about to cry. He never thought that Su Ying would just throw him out. Wouldn't this mean that the Southerners would skin him alive?

"Calm down, there's no point in arresting me. I tell you, the King of Qi has already arrived in Chu!"

Zhu Lin's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the Southern soldiers stunned in place.

Zhu Lin took advantage of their daze and turned and ran.

"Don't let him get away, this guy must have been sent by the State of Chu, capture him."

Zhu Lin swore that even when he was chased and beaten by Xiao Jin as a child, he never ran so fast!

On the night when the State of Chu suffered a series of defeats and nearly lost its third city, Xiao Jin arrived at the camp of the State of Chu.

The moment General Yongwu saw Xiao Jin, his eyes turned red. No one knew Xiao Jin's combat capability better than him. When Xiao Jin was arrested and imprisoned, he had thought about seeking justice for him, but in the end, his desire for power overcame the little bit of compassion in his heart.

Although Xiao Jin was still a criminal, General Yongwu didn't dare to show off in front of him. The moment Xiao Jin walked into the camp, he took the initiative to hand over the other half of the tiger talisman.

Xiao Jin took the tiger talisman without hesitation. There were no one of his here, and if he wanted his soldiers to obey him, he had to have the tiger talisman in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely serious. The mountain city was almost lost tonight."

Xiao Jin glanced at General Yongwu indifferently. In his impression, he had always been a conservative who liked to defend. Now that he had almost lost three cities in a row, he suffered a great blow and his face was full of dejection.

The most taboo thing on the battlefield is defeat. If you have lost your momentum, what's the point in fighting?

Xiao Jin came to the sand table and observed the terrain around the mountain city. General Wei Zhen was very eager to attack. When he felt that he could definitely take the mountain city, he would definitely attack again in a short time.

After Xiao Jin quickly understood the terrain and the distribution of the enemy's forces, he ordered General Yongwu to organize the army.

The State of Chu must launch a beautiful counterattack to boost morale.

The wild horses neighed, the spears roared in the cold wind, and the battlefield stained with blood was littered with corpses.

Su Ying suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

She rubbed her eyebrows, wondering why she had such a bloody dream.

After hearing the news that Xiao Jin had returned to Chu, the Southern Kingdom soldiers outside the city withdrew that night.

Now that spring has arrived, some things need to be put on the agenda. Today she and Cheng Ming are going to look at the land to see if there are any suitable places for planting in the surrounding areas.

After everything was packed up, Cheng Ming was already waiting outside the temple. The snow had almost melted and the weather had become much warmer.

Su Ying rode on horseback and took Cheng Ming and others out of the city gate.

Tiankui City is located on the hillside, and it is difficult to find a large area of flat land for farming. They can only look in the direction of Tiger Camp.

But this area is mostly pristine forest, so even if the land is suitable for farming, the forest needs to be cleared out.

After walking around, they didn't find a suitable place.

"City Lord, why don't we look in the direction of the tribe?" Cheng Ming looked at the situation in front of him and felt that it would be impossible to find a suitable place.

Su Ying nodded. She remembered that the terrain was relatively flat when heading towards the tribe.

"City Lord, I thought of a place." Zhang Nuo, who was accompanying him, suddenly spoke.

"Where?"

"Just walk towards the tribe. There is a piece of land that is relatively flat and has few trees. I went there once two years ago, but I was just passing by. I just remembered it just now."

Su Ying didn't delay and took her men there directly.

The place Zhang Nuo mentioned is in the direction after exiting the mausoleum. After walking for about two hours and going around a forest, you will be able to see it.

“It’s really a large piece of land.”

Cheng Ming immediately dismounted and went to check the geological conditions.
