Chapter 246 All are here
"Has City Lord Su rested?"
Aunt Zhang's voice was heard outside the door. Because it was cold, the door was closed.
"Auntie, come in and tell me what you have to say."
Aunt Zhang pushed open the door and walked into the house, holding a large bowl in her hand. "It's cold here. Although there is a charcoal fire in the house, it's still uncomfortable at night. So I cooked a large bowl of egg and ginger soup for City Lord Su. After drinking it, the City Lord felt warm and slept comfortably."
Su Ying looked at the big bowl that was almost filled with eggs. She suspected that there were more than ten eggs in the bowl.
"I'm already very full from dinner."
Aunt Zhang felt a little helpless when she saw Su Ying was speaking seriously. It was true. She was a girl, but she had only cooked half a pot of rice. She still brought so many eggs. Wasn't she calling her a glutton?
Just when Aunt Zhang was struggling over whether to take it away, she heard Su Ying say, "But since you've already cooked it, just put it down."
Aunt Zhang silently said in her heart, City Lord Su really eats a lot...
"Auntie, do you know who drew this map?" The map looked a little old, but some of the marks on it made it look new, like a painting that had been drawn a long time ago, and the author just filled in some marks as he thought of them.
"City Lord Su said that this map was drawn by my eldest son Zhang Nuo. This kid never stays home all year round and loves to travel around. However, we cannot enter other people's territory, so we can only travel around in this northern wilderness."
When Aunt Zhang talked about her eldest son, her eyes lit up. Although she complained about her son not being home, there was pride in her words.
“He’s not in the tribe now?”
Aunt Zhang shook her head. "He's not here. He left before the New Year. We told him to come back for the New Year, but he hasn't come back yet. We don't know when he'll be back."
That was a bit of a pity. Since he had drawn the map himself, he must be very familiar with what was marked on the map. She wanted to chat with him for a while.
"Auntie, do you know about the tribes in other places on this map?" Su Ying pointed at the map.
Aunt Zhang leaned over and took a careful look. "I remember now that this map has detailed annotations. City Lord Su asked me about it. I really didn't know, but there are detailed instructions on the annotations. I'll go get it."
Aunt Zhang said this and turned to leave the house. When she came back, she had a thick booklet in her hand.
"City Lord Su, please take a look. I can't read, so I don't know what's written inside."
Su Ying took the book and nodded, "Thank you."
Aunt Zhang told Su Ying to remember to eat the ginger and sugar water eggs, and then left the house consciously.
Su Ying took a bite from the big bowl and casually flipped through the booklet in her hand. She found that Zhang Nuo's content was written in great detail, even the topographical features, the ethnic groups living there, and the living habits of the ethnic groups were described very clearly.
That would have been fine, but it also contained his insights and thoughts on these places, many of which were very unique. Gradually, Su Ying became addicted to reading it.
After reading it, Su Ying wanted to meet Zhang Nuo even more.
She kept reading until dawn, but she still hadn't finished.
Su Ying closed the book, stretched, and then lay down on the bed.
When she opened her eyes again, it was still daylight outside. She sat up, opened the door, and saw Orange Protector standing outside.
"The city lord is awake."
Su Yingen said, "What time is it now?"
"It's not even 7:00 to report back to the city lord."
Su Ying was a little confused. It was clearly past noon when she went to bed, so why wasn't it noon yet?
"Are you sure?"
The Orange Guardian said, "I am sure that the City Lord has indeed slept for almost a day and a night."
Did she sleep that long?
Su Ying looked surprised.
"Lord Su, you're awake. Are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat." Aunt Zhang immediately forced a smile when she came out of the house and saw Su Ying.
"Thank you." It would be strange if I wasn't hungry after sleeping for so long.
Su Ying thought about it and decided to go to the Zhang clan leader's house to ask about his situation.
"City Lord Su." Patriarch Zhang saw Su Ying enter the room and tried to get up from the bed.
"Are your injuries better?"
Patriarch Zhang smiled and said, "Much better. Thank you, City Lord, for saving my life."
"It was Guardian Orange who healed you. You should thank him."
"We have to thank Orange Guardian as well. By the way, City Lord Su, other tribes have already sent people over. When can you tell us when we can meet them?"
She had slept for so long, it was normal for them to arrive, "I'll be there in a minute."
After Aunt Zhang brought breakfast to Su Ying, Zhang Shulun took Su Ying to where people from other tribes were staying.
Chief Zhang settled the people in an empty house in the tribe. When Su Ying walked into the house, she saw twenty or thirty people sitting in the house. Maybe because it was cold, they were huddled together by the fire to keep warm.
"Uncles, City Lord Su is here." Zhang Shulun came up to them, put his hands on his chest and half bowed.
Upon hearing this, those people stood up and looked Su Ying up and down.
Su Ying stood there calmly, allowing them to look at her.
"Thank you for the hard work of making the trip in the heavy snow." Su Ying quickly scanned their faces and spoke first.
Inside the house, a man with a square face, narrow eyes, a beard and a calm look stood up and saluted when he heard the words.
"I heard that City Lord Su saved our tribe from a disaster of genocide. I am so grateful."
According to what those southerners said, they were planning to rob all the tribes in this area. Because of the snow and cold weather in winter, there was basically no communication between tribes during this period, and the information was relatively closed. It was impossible to know in advance that a certain tribe was attacked, and there was no way to prepare in advance.
If those southerners really came, even if they could resist, they would suffer heavy casualties. This is what they should say with gratitude.
"There's no need to thank me for something that didn't happen. Please take a seat."
Everyone consciously gave up the first seat to Su Ying.
Su Ying didn't say anything, just walked to the chair and sat down.
"Although those people have left temporarily, they may still come back. You should be prepared in the future. If they come again, you can rush to Tiankui City to find me."
Even if she killed all those people at that time, the Li family of the Southern Kingdom would still send people over to investigate. If they found that the people of the tribe were still there, they would still send people over if they did not intend to give up.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let them go back and explain the situation to see if the Li family will back down. However, this does not rule out the possibility that they will become more courageous as the situation worsens.
The people of these tribes did not expect Su Ying to make such a promise, and they were extremely grateful.
"We have already brought in the herbs that City Lord Su wanted. City Lord Su can go with us to inspect the goods."
"good."
