Chapter 218: Advance and Retreat Together
The man in red looked at them coldly, "If you go against the Tiankui people, you will all die without a burial place!"
Su Ying sneered and looked at Xiao Jin and said, "I'll leave the interrogation to you. I think he was the one who caused the birds yesterday. I also encountered a swarm of snakes at night, but they disappeared after I caught him. You interrogate him carefully. I'll go in and rest for a while."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Okay."
Su Ying was not worried about Xiao Jin's ability to interrogate people at all. After explaining everything to him, she turned around and went back to the house.
As soon as Su Ying entered the room and sat down, Lin Zhuyu poked her head in and said, "Madam, do you want to eat bird? Roasted."
Su Ying touched her already shriveled stomach and nodded, "Eat."
"I will go and prepare it for Madam right away."
Su Ying thought about it and simply got up and went to the main room to wait.
Ever since the flock of birds attacked, they now have bird meat for three meals a day. However, under the cooking of the two chefs Murong De and He Shouyi, the bird meat can be turned into a different delicacy every time and people will not get tired of it.
As soon as Lin Zhuyu walked out of the door, Su Ying smelled the aroma of charcoal grilling. The roasted bird was heated on the charcoal fire again, and the aroma of the meat mixed with the aroma of the charcoal fire was further stimulated.
Lin Zhuyu brought up a large portion of roasted bird meat and prepared a large bowl of green vegetable dumpling soup.
"This is the dumpling soup made from the dried wild vegetables I picked up in the mountains. Uncle He said that eating too much roasted bird can cause internal heat, and the wild vegetables are cool and can reduce internal heat, so eating them together won't make you sick."
Su Ying couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Their food is really better now. Not only can they eat their fill, but the food is also well-balanced in nutrition.
Su Ying took a sip of the dumpling soup and felt a slightly bitter taste on the tip of her tongue. However, after swallowing it, there was a slight sweet aftertaste in her mouth, which was very refreshing and appetizing.
She ate three bowls as big as a washbasin before she felt full. She also ate all the dozen roasted birds.
Su Ying burped contentedly and was about to go back to the room to take a nap when she saw Xiao Jin coming over.
"Is the trial over?"
Xiao Jin nodded, "I guess so."
Su Ying turned and went into the house, pouring herself a cup of warm water. Before she could take a sip, the cup in her hand was taken away by Xiao Jin, who drank the water very smoothly.
Su Ying: “…”
Xiao Jin took a sip, smiled at her hand in the air, and put the half-empty cup back into her hand, "It's perfect to drink now."
Su Ying glanced at the cup and drank all the water in it. The temperature was just right.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"So the trial is over?"
Xiao Jin took out a red token and a red purse from his body.
Su Ying nodded her chin, "What is that?"
"It was found on him. He got nervous when it was turned out."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Proof, this is something very important to him."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Do you remember what Hu Wei and the others said? They can't sneak into the Tiankui people's territory, even if they dress up as them, because the wild beasts inside can identify their scent."
However, there are so many people working for the Tiankui people, and it is impossible for the wild beasts to distinguish each of them. So they may use something on these people to distinguish them from outsiders.
Su Ying opened the purse, which contained some ground medicinal powder. It smelled faintly like medicine, but not strong. So even if you wear it on your body, ordinary people will not be able to smell any strange smell, but animals can.
"I'll try." Su Ying picked up the purse and walked to the big tiger in the backyard.
The tiger, who was dozing on the ground, heard Su Ying's footsteps. Its two ears instantly stood up, and its pair of light-colored tiger eyes slowly opened and fell on Su Ying.
She had never untied the tiger because a beast that had recognized its master would be more difficult to tame than one that was completely wild. In order to prevent it from accidentally hurting people, she had to trap it first.
"Don't be nervous, I'll show you something you're familiar with."
The tiger moved its ears and looked at Su Ying in confusion, then saw Su Ying handing a purse to it.
The tiger's nose moved, and it moved closer to the purse and sniffed it. Then the vigilance in his eyes gradually faded, and his vigilance towards Su Ying completely disappeared.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes and confirmed that this thing was used to allow the beasts to distinguish between outsiders and their own people.
After confirming her guess, Su Ying turned around and went back into the house.
"With these two things, we can take the opportunity to sneak into the Tiankui camp."
Su Ying put the purse on the table and picked up the red token to look at it. If she remembered correctly, among the two gangs that came directly, one was the people of Dark Night and the other was Xiao Jin, the only one who came this time was a gray person wearing red clothes. Could it be that these Tiankui people used colors to distinguish people's ranks?
This token should be the symbol of the identity of this man in red.
When Xiao Jin heard her words, he immediately thought of her plan, "What do you want to do?"
Su Ying did not intend to hide it and said, "Take these things and sneak in to see what those Tiankui people are like."
Xiao Jin frowned in disapproval, "Too risky."
Su Ying sat down on the chair, "No risk, no gain. I can't just passively take a beating all the time."
"Don't even mention that you're going. You know Tiger Camp's defense system better than I do. I mean, you know the deployment better than me. You're more suitable to stay here and guard the Tiger Camp. Looking at the entire Tiger Camp, no one is more suitable than me to go."
These words really left Xiao Jin speechless.
"I know you will go even if I don't agree." She would never change her decision easily. He was just a little annoyed with himself that he couldn't keep her under his wing.
Su Ying saw the depression between his brows, stood up and patted his shoulder, "I, Su Ying, have never been a little white flower who would shrink behind anyone. If you have the ability, then stand by me and fight side by side with me, and we will advance and retreat together."
Xiao Jin held her hand, and slowly wrapped her small hand into his palm. "Okay, we will advance and retreat together."
Su Ying laughed and punched his fist which was twice as big as hers, "Then the Tiger Camp depends on you."
"Well, you, be careful."
"no problem."
That night, Su Ying took the big tiger out of the tiger camp.
The tiger had been in the Tiankui people's territory for so long, so it naturally knew where its base camp was. Su Ying sat cross-legged on its back and swayed towards the mountains.
The night in the mountains was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that the only sounds in one’s ears were the whistling wind and the tiger’s heavy breathing.
Su Ying closed her eyes and slowly slowed down her breathing to regulate her breathing so that she could adjust herself to the best condition before arriving.
After an unknown amount of time, the tiger suddenly stopped.
Su Ying slowly opened her eyes and saw a city wall towering into the clouds.
