Chapter 277: A Father Who Loves His Children
The next morning, Su Ying called all the people who had assisted her in managing Tiankui City for the past six months to the main hall and told them about her plans.
"The city lord is going to Chu?"
Hu Wei was a little surprised, but when he saw Xiao Jin sitting next to him, he understood. They all knew that King Qi had won the battle. The city lord and King Qi were husband and wife. If King Qi wanted to go back, the city lord couldn't stay alone.
"Yes, go back and get some things and come back." Su Ying said very easily.
"Over the past year, things in Tiankui City have been on track, and everyone is doing things according to the rules and regulations, Xiaolu."
The Green Guardian, who was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe and a green belt around his waist, walked forward with a blank expression, "Your subordinate is here."
"You are in charge of supervision. If there is anything, please send a flying eagle to send a message to me. I will receive it no matter where I am." She trained a group of flying eagles and installed sensors in them. The eagles can sense anything no matter how far away they are.
Xiaolu responded respectfully, "I understand."
Su Ying explained everything one by one, and finally looked at Zhang Nuo, "You always wanted to draw a topographic map of Chu, so come with us."
Zhang Nuo was pleasantly surprised. "Subordinate, can I go with you?"
"Okay, go back and pack up, and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, thank you, Lord."
When she was packing her bags at night, two little bags of milk almost grew on her body.
"Mom, my brother and I want to go too, we want to go too!" Erbao's big red eyes were full of desire.
Dabao also hugged Su Ying's thighs tightly, as if she would run away if they let go.
Su Ying looked at the two poor babies and was a little hesitant. She had not yet decided whether to take them away.
Su Ying looked up at Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin said, "Take it with you. You won't feel at ease if I'm not around."
Su Ying frowned, and finally nodded, "Yes, take them back and let them experience the dangers of the world. Be good and pack your little bag. You will set off with Daddy and Mommy tomorrow."
When the two little guys heard that they could be with Su Ying, they cheered happily and packed their bags happily.
Su Ying actually didn't have much to take with her, so she simply packed some personal belongings that wouldn't be touched by others, and Mother Zhao and the others would pack the rest.
This time when they went back, Mother Zhao and Bai Shuang strongly requested to go with them.
Mother Zhao: "The City Lord has a bad memory. I am afraid that the City Lord has forgotten many things. With me by his side, I can remind him to avoid any mistakes."
Bai Shuang: "The city lord is always unable to take care of himself. I will not feel at ease unless I follow you."
Lin Zhuyu: "This servant...cannot leave the city lord."
He Shouyi: "If I don't follow, what will happen if the city lord becomes thin and hungry?"
The next day, before dawn, Su Ying and her friends left the city.
Her departure from the city was not made public, and no one knew about it except a few people in charge.
Normally, the two children should have been very happy on the way as it was their first time leaving the Northern Wilderness. However, when they knew they were going back to the capital, they became silent.
Su Ying glanced at the two babies sitting in the carriage without saying a word, and took out a bag of snacks from the carriage and handed them to them, "This is the sour jujube cake that Grandpa Murong prepared for you. Do you want to try it?"
Erbao looked up at Su Ying, his little face looking uninterested, "Mom, Ling'er is not hungry." Although he said he was not hungry, his little hand still honestly took a piece of dessert and started eating it in small bites.
Dabao shook his head. He didn't want to eat. Whenever he thought of the capital, he would be surrounded by immense fear and helplessness. There were too many terrible memories there for him.
This memory even made him afraid of Su Ying's approach.
Obviously, Su Ying was also aware of the existence of this situation. She was not in a hurry and slowly diverted the attention of the two children to distract them from their fear of the capital.
When the team returned to the border of Chu, General Yongwu and Lian Shen had been waiting there early in the morning.
Xiao Jin didn't even let Su Ying and the others show up, and directly let the team that had been prepared long ago set off.
Xiao Jin's round trip took several days, and the brave generals and their companions could only grit their teeth and hold on.
Although the battle was not fought by Xiao Jin alone, the problem is that before Xiao Jin came, they were not defeated alone either. Didn’t they still lose so badly that their underwear was almost exposed?
Therefore, Xiao Jin was the hero of the war between Nan and Chu. Before Emperor Kangze made a clear statement, no one wanted to offend him.
Su Ying lifted the car curtain, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and ate melon seeds boredly, "How much do you think my biological mother's dowry was?"
Xiao Jin raised his eyelids and said, "I heard that your grandfather bought a house in the capital city to house it, and only then was he able to put it down."
Su Ying raised her eyes and said, "It's really exciting."
Xiao Jin slowly moved his gaze toward the window, even wondering if Su Ying would beat up her father. That scene was somewhat exciting...
"Mother."
Su Ying turned to look at Dabao, only to see him sitting upright opposite her, his chubby little face filled with a serious expression.
Su Ying also quickly sat up straight and looked at him seriously, "What's wrong, Ji'er?"
"Back in the capital, mother, are you still the mother you are now?"
Su Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, even if I go to the end of the world, I will always be the same mother as now, the mother who will always love Ji'er and Ling'er."
"And my mother who loves Daddy!"
Su Ying's smile became more and more intoxicating, "If Ling'er says so, then so be it."
This time it was Xiao Jin's turn to be stunned, "You love your child's father too?"
Su Ying looked back at him, with a puzzled look in her eyes, "What does it feel like to love the father of a child?"
This question stumped the child's father. After thinking for a long time, the child's father said, "I will miss him, like his closeness, worry about him, care about him, think of him when I am happy, and think of him when I am unhappy. That's probably it."
In fact, Xiao Jin didn't fully understand, he just expressed his feelings towards Su Ying.
Su Ying really thought about it seriously. She did miss Xiao Jin. She didn’t seem to dislike his closeness. When he was on the battlefield, she would also worry about his safety... Could it be that she fell in love with him?
Su Ying felt that the word love was too magical for her.
"Xiao Jin, do you love me too?"
also?
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes. The word "also" showed that she had behaved in the above way towards him.
"Yeah, that's right."
Su Ying's heartbeat suddenly quickened as she looked at this face, which was already handsome even though it was two shades darker.
She quickly looked away, "Don't you want to kill me?"
Xiao Jin's eyes paused slightly, his expression dark, "The damned person is already dead."
Su Ying frowned, feeling that there was something else behind his words.
Just when she was about to investigate further, the team suddenly stopped and arrived at the inn where they would stay for the night.
Jiang Yang's voice was heard outside the car.
"My Lord, Princess, we have arrived at the post station."
