Chapter 81 Wasn’t it him?

"We, we were sent by the Third Prince. Because General Su refused to support the Third Prince, he sent us to bring General Su's immediate family members to the capital and control the Su clan on this island!"

"You mean, my mother and her friends were taken to the capital by the Third Prince? How many days have they been gone?"

Su Qian asked coldly.

"It's been four or five days!"

The general said nervously, "Miss Su, we are also following orders, please don't make things difficult for us!"

"Oh! Following orders! Hurting my relatives and burning my stone fortress, is that also following orders?"

Su Qian raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"That old man overestimated his own abilities and insisted on stopping us, that's why he ended up like this!"

The general thought he was talking about the old patriarch lying on the ground, and hurriedly explained.

Su Qian didn't want to waste any more words with him. Now it was enough for him to know the news he wanted to know!

Snap!

The general's body stiffened, his neck tilted, and he lost his voice!

At this moment, Su Qian had a dagger in his hand and waved it in front of the soldiers like the wind!

Those soldiers fell to the ground like sacks!

There was a long, thin cut between their necks, and bright red liquid was gushing out.

At this moment, Su Qian accidentally discovered that there was a token exposed on the general's lapel. On the front of the token was a Chinese character "Hai", and on the back was a Chinese character "Yi"!

Yi, shouldn’t it be Yi?

Without thinking too much, Su Qian put the token into the jade pendant space.

Afterwards, Su Qian didn't even look at the Su clan members, put the rice, flour, oil and bacon that the officers and soldiers had left in the stone house into the space, and walked towards the beach!

A quarter of an hour later, she arrived in Haiping Town!

It only takes about seven days to travel from Haiping Town to the capital of Dongli State by fast riding.

And, Su Qian now plans to go to the escort agency in Haiping Town to buy a good horse.

At this moment, her disheveled hair scared many passers-by. Su Qian quickly found a hairpin from the room and pinned her hair up.

In Haiping Town, only the escort agency and the government had fine horses. However, not far from Su Qian, a man in black came towards them, leading a fine horse.

The man in black had an ordinary appearance and a slightly dusty face. He was obviously a passerby who had just arrived in Haiping Town.

Su Qian's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, "Brother, may I ask if you want to sell your horse?"

She cupped her hands and asked, "I have something to do in the capital and need a horse to get me there."

The man in black was stunned for a moment. "Miss, do you know the direction of Longyu Island? I am here to look for someone. If you can take me there, I will give you this horse with both hands!"

"Go to Longyu Island to look for someone? Longyu Island is a deserted island. Who are you looking for there?"

Su Qian raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, it was my Third Emperor... No, the Third Young Master ordered me to find a girl and return what I owe her!"

The man in black casually said, "It seems that the girl knows about Dragon Fish Island. Can you take me there?"

He just asked around in the town, but no one knew where Dragon Fish Island was.

Even if someone knew about it, they would not want to go there, because there are too many undercurrents there and one could lose their life if they are not careful!

Su Qian looked at the other person quietly without saying anything.

Was this person also sent by the Third Prince?

Are you here to return something?

Are you here to pay back the money you owed me?

Then why did he send those soldiers to arrest Gu Luyun and others?

Su Qian calmed down and frowned slightly. Could it be that there was something fishy going on and it wasn't him who did it?

Or did he send two groups of people at the same time, one to pretend to return the money and treat the victim with courtesy, while the other to directly arrest the victim?

Su Qian suddenly had a dagger in her sleeve, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked with a smile, "Is this brother looking for a girl named Su Qian, and wants him to return the 100,100 taels of silver on his behalf?"

The man in black was stunned. "How did the girl know that?"

"Because I am the creditor of your son!"

Su Qian said with a smile, then she looked around and said, "I would like to ask this brother to come and talk with me for a moment."

They were now on the main street of Haiping Town, and people passing by were looking at the two of them.

The man in black nodded and came to a quiet alley with Su Qian.

"You said you were sent by your Highness to return my money. What's your proof?"

After reaching the alley, Su Qian asked calmly.

The man in black then took out a token and handed it to Su Qian.

Su Qian took it and found the word "dark" written on the front and the word "war" written on the back.

Seeing her looking at the two words, the man in black quickly explained, "The word 'An' represents my position. I am one of the secret guards assigned by His Majesty to Your Highness. This time when Your Highness was in danger at sea, the Imperial Concubine asked His Majesty to give me to Your Highness. The word 'War' on the back is Your Highness's title. Your Highness' title is God of War, and the people in the capital also call him Lord God of War!"

Su Qian nodded slightly. It turned out that the word "Zhan" was Dongfang Yi's title!

So the "Yi" character on the back of the token she picked up from the general before actually belonged to someone else?

So this wasn't done by Dongfang Yi?

But someone asked the general to say it in front of the Su clan members on purpose?

So my judgment must be wrong?

Su Qian was full of doubts and anxiety, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and asked, "How is your prince doing now? I remember he said before he left that he would help my father redress his grievances!"

"Before I left, His Highness was busy investigating the incident in which he was nearly killed at sea. Then he remembered the agreement with the girl and sent me to give the banknote to her."

The man in black took out a stack of banknotes from his collar and said, "Please count them, young lady."

Su Qian took it and casually glanced at the face value on it. They were all silver bills of one thousand taels.

She put the banknote into her sleeve (actually the space of the jade pendant), and then said to the man in black, "Does your Highness have anything else to say to me?"

"His Highness said that you should wait for him here without worry. After he becomes the emperor, he will definitely come to marry you!"

The man in black then said.

"Okay, I understand! According to our agreement, your horse will also belong to me!"

Su Qian nodded gently, took the reins from his hand and prepared to leave.

The man in black: “…”

However, he still let go of the remaining horse in his hand and let her lead the horse away.

After Su Qian got the horse, he jumped on it, pulled the reins by the horse's belly, and headed towards the capital.

Although Su Qian herself had never ridden a horse, her original self, or rather, she, had learned to do so when she was a child.

At that time, General Su gave her a red pony.

Unfortunately, she was weak at the time and gave up after riding it once or twice.

Now that I think about it, her weak body in the past was probably due to the loss of her soul.

A good horse is a good horse. It could sense the slight murderous aura in Su Qian, but it did not get angry with her. Instead, it obediently let Su Qian command it to gallop wildly.
