Threatening letter?
Han Shikuan stared at the four words on the paper, pursed his lips, and finally sighed. Fortunately, he withdrew in time, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to go back.
As for Song Yu and Wang Wenjue, their chances of survival are slim.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" The guard beside him asked worriedly, seeing that the young master was in a daze.
"Pass down the order: no one is to tell anyone about this trip to Ye County, or they will face the consequences." Their movements had been under the other party's control the whole time; otherwise, the timing wouldn't have been so precise. The moment he stepped out of Ye County's territory, the other party delivered the letter to him.
Han Shikuan held the letter in his hand, slowly let out a sigh of relief, and looked back at the direction of Ye County. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to kill him, otherwise, he was afraid he would not even be able to leave the territory of Ye County.
He was careful with his words and actions. The other party not only warned him not to reveal the iron ore of Tianjiao Peak, but also warned him not to have any more interest in the iron ore.
"But young master..."
Before his subordinates could question him, Han Shikuan interrupted, "No buts. If you want to live, you'd better listen to me. Didn't they say to be careful with your words and actions? That means we should pay attention to our words and deeds."
Even the best iron ore is useless if you're not alive to get it!
When Han Shikuan returned to his family and heard about Song Yu and Wang Wenjue's situation, he felt incredibly fortunate for his decision at the time.
With the crisis at Tianjiao Peak resolved, Mo Lan strolled around her territory again and again, repairing the damaged formation before preparing to descend the mountain and leave.
As for the iron mine, it can be left to Tie Niu and a few others. With the help of the formation and Jiang Mian's protection on the outside, it's like having an extra layer of protection. So, there's no point in her staying any longer.
"Mo Lan, may I speak to you in private?" As the voice rang out, Qin Su swept across from the other side of the stream.
"Please speak." Mo Lan looked at Qin Su and raised an eyebrow.
"What did you do with the people who went missing at the foot of the mountain?" Qin Su looked at Mo Lan. After hesitating, he still wanted to ask clearly. After all, nearly two thousand people had just disappeared. There were many suspicious points no matter how you looked at it.
"What's wrong? Everyone's been taken care of, what are you still worried about?" Mo Lan looked at Qin Su with amusement. "I don't see a trace of pity in you at all."
A young general, decisive in killing, how could he possibly care about a mere thousand or so people?
"I just want to know, are those people alive or dead?" Qin Su's voice turned cold as he listened to Mo Lan's teasing. So many people had disappeared without a trace in just a few days; the method was too bizarre, and he had to be on guard.
If you have doubts in your mind, you won't feel at ease until you ask for clarification.
"Qin Su, I've dealt with the hidden dangers and haven't caused you any trouble. Why do you still want to pry? You don't care about their lives or deaths, as long as Tianjiao Peak is safe, isn't that enough?"
As Mo Lan spoke, the smile in her eyes faded, and her gaze turned cold. She habitually rubbed the pointer in her hand, staring intently at Qin Su, showing no intention of compromising.
"Our cooperation was limited to Tianjiao Peak. Now that the crisis has been resolved, you don't need to worry about how I dealt with those prisoners. I provided manpower and resources to handle the trouble without causing you any trouble. Logically speaking, I think you should be thanking me. Why are you questioning me instead?"
Qin Su stared silently at Mo Lan, his brows furrowed deeply. He had no other intention than to know the result.
Moreover, he had a vague intuition that Mo Lan, despite being a bandit, would not have slaughtered everyone.
