"Be on guard! Don't underestimate the enemy!"
Jifeng's whole body tensed up, his eyes filled with unprecedented tension.
"Attack together!"
A dozen or so people swarmed forward again, and Su Jin decisively drew her sword and fought them.
In terms of swordsmanship and internal strength alone, Su Jinxia is no match for those who have practiced martial arts and body tempering since childhood, but with the Gu Mother's blessing, the situation is completely different.
Su Jin fought against ten opponents single-handedly without being at a disadvantage, and her strength seemed inexhaustible!
Gradually, the number of people decreased from a dozen to ten, then to a few, and finally to two...
Seeing that he couldn't kill Su Jinxia, Jifeng had everyone else hold Su Jinxia back while he himself managed to escape with his life.
The silvery moonlight shone on the earth, illuminating the expressions of everyone on their deathbeds. In the desolate mountains and fields, it seemed as if lonely ghosts were wailing.
Su Jin lowered her shoulders slightly.
The Gu Mother withdrew her power, and a feeling of exhaustion instantly washed over her.
My heart clenched suddenly, and a sharp pain spread throughout my body.
It seems that ever since the last overuse of the Gu Mother's power, every time the Gu Mother's power is used on a large scale, my heart aches.
Su Jin took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then walked to the corpses and lifted their veils.
There were two familiar faces; they were people who had been by Zhou Ji's side in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ji himself was quite powerful, and he brought out more than a dozen top-level martial artists with a single move.
He's definitely not easy to deal with!
Su Jin was worried that the escaped people would go to seek help, so she didn't dare to delay any longer and walked into the woods to leave the place.
A short while later, another group of men in black arrived.
Fortunately, they did not continue to pursue Su Jinxia, but instead cleaned up the body and retreated.
Ji Feng rushed back to the Ji army camp and reported the battle situation to Zhou Ji.
"The power of the Glass Master far exceeds our imagination. All fifteen of our brothers died at her hands. Assassination is probably not going to work."
Zhou Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Fifteen people!
These people were all carefully cultivated by Zhou Ji in secret, and even Shen Qianxue was unaware of them. The sudden death of fifteen of them broke Zhou Ji's heart.
What a wonderful Lord of Glass!
What a shrewd Su Jin!
"She really angered me!"
Zhou Ji's eyes flashed with a dark and sinister light, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey!
——
Without his horse, Su Jin didn't return to Tianyang City until the third night.
As soon as she reached the city gate, the guards came up to her and reported, "Your Majesty, envoys from the court have arrived!"
Su Jinxia felt somewhat awkward being addressed as "Your Majesty".
In the army, Su Jin did not call herself a queen. It was in Zhuanghe that everyone spontaneously recognized her as their leader and named her Tiannv Zhuangwang (Heavenly Maiden King Zhuang).
Since Su Jin was in charge of leading everyone, she could only acquiesce.
She blinked, her face remaining impassive, adopting a serious and aloof demeanor. "Where is he? Take me to see him!"
The soldiers felt a chill run down their spines. The aura emanating from Su Jin was even more formidable and chilling than that of General Zhang Qi.
He respectfully asked Su Jinxia to go first, saying, "I've arranged for you to stay at the reception station for officials. I'll take you there."
Post station.
Han Qing was negotiating with the imperial envoy when Su Jinxia's appearance interrupted the conversation.
After exchanging greetings, Su Jinxia learned that the imperial envoy's name was Qiu Lin, that his hometown was a small town in Tianyang City, and that he and Han Qing had been classmates and close friends. However, after completing his studies, Qiu Lin went to the capital to serve as an official.
Most of the envoys were eloquent scholars, and Qiu Lin was no exception.
So when Qiu Lin saw Su Jin walk in, carrying the scent of frost and blood, he was already quite frightened.
Is this some kind of evil spirit?
It gives you the feeling that you might start a fight and chop someone up at the slightest provocation.
The renowned reputation of the Glass Master has completely overshadowed the image of Su Jin as a cute little girl.
Qiu Lin gave Han Qing a pleading look, as if to say, "What else do I dare to say?"
Han Qing also looked worried. He knew that Su Jin had gone down to the Ji Army camp and must have encountered danger.
"Are you injured?" he asked worriedly.
Su Jin sat down in the main seat, exuding a languid and wicked air. "No, it's all someone else's blood."
Han Qing was relieved. "That's good."
Qiu Lin looked at Han Qing in disbelief. "Good? What's good about it!"
Su Jin's gaze gently fell on Qiu Lin. "What is the purpose of the envoy's visit? Where are you in the discussion? Continue!"
Qiu Lin shuddered inexplicably, forced to look directly at Su Jin, and carefully swallowed.
Su Jinxia's eyes flashed with a disdainful smile. Qiu Lin was not even as good as Zhou Wenshu. At least Zhou Wenshu dared to argue with Su Jinxia.
Noticing Su Jin's mockery, Qiu Lin's face darkened.
"Don't be afraid..." Han Qing tried to comfort Qiu Lin.
Qiu Lin's lips twitched. "What are you stuttering about?"
Qiu Lin took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and said to Su Jin, "During my time in the city, I saw that the people were living peacefully. To be honest, I was shocked. This doesn't look like the aftermath of war."
"Therefore, I understand that when the rebels fight for the people, it's not just empty talk. The imperial court sent me here this time hoping that we can cooperate and spare the people from the ravages of war."
Su Jin chuckled lightly and said sarcastically, "If the imperial court had done something, there wouldn't have been any uprisings. For the past ten years, the people have been displaced and suffered terribly. What has the imperial court done? Now it knows how to think about them?"
"The people are so poor and destitute, yet the first thing the new emperor did upon ascending the throne was to renovate his palace and build a temporary residence. Lord Qiu Lin is used to the prosperity of the capital and may not think much of it, but for the people, that amount of money is enough to allow tens of thousands of people to live and work in peace."
"Now that things have come to this, what face does the imperial court have to even mention the word 'common people'!"
