Chapter 612: It's still useful to keep it
The people of Jin rushed into the tent in panic, their faces filled with fear and their bodies covered in blood.
Xie Rui was so painful that he almost jumped out of the bed.
"How is that possible?"
The guard who came in wiped the blood off his face, the fear in his eyes was particularly conspicuous in the dim tent, "The female devil in Tiankui City is too scary, she almost killed all of us, and I don't know what weapon she has in her hand, but when she hits people, they can't move. Your Highness should leave quickly, they are about to kill us."
Xie Rui was unwilling to believe that the thousands of troops he brought with him were killed by those random people in Tiankui City, but his people would never lie to him.
"Your Highness, the mine is important, but if you are in danger, the gain will not outweigh the loss. It is better to leave first!"
Lord Li came to his senses immediately and asked someone to pack up and take Xie Rui away.
Deputy General Wang, who was observing the situation secretly, was so shocked by Su Ying's speed of killing that his face changed.
"Deputy General, they really killed all the soldiers of Jin State. What should we do?" Su Ying said that they should all get out of the Northern Wilderness. Now that the people of Jin State have been dealt with, if they don't leave, can Su Ying let them go?
"Have you sent a message to the general?"
"The message has been sent back."
"First, break camp and retreat. Set up camp again when you are at a safe distance and act according to circumstances." He didn't come here to fight, but he didn't want to lose everything without gaining anything.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
In the end, the Jin army was too afraid to fight Hu Wei and his men and had to retreat.
"City Lord, the Southern Kingdom has also withdrawn."
"Find someone to follow them and see if they really get out of the Northern Wilderness. If not, kill them all." She said that as long as they were willing to leave, she would not care about what happened before. If they insisted on committing suicide, she would not mind giving them a ride.
"yes."
But she didn't intend to let Xie Rui go easily. The departure of Mengzi and the others from the Tiger Camp must have something to do with him. If he wanted to escape with old and new grudges, he was dreaming!
Su Ying blew the whistle, and in a moment, a pure black horse came running over.
When the wild horse approached, Su Ying swiftly jumped on the horse and chased in the direction of the Jin army's retreat.
Hu Wei also followed with his men.
"Don't let them get away!"
"yes."
Xie Rui's cronies took him and tried desperately to escape, but no matter how they ran, Su Ying and the others were getting closer and closer.
"Stop them and take the prince away quickly!" Lord Li saw that Su Ying was about to catch up, so he pushed Xie Rui towards the guards and stabbed at Su Ying with his sword raised.
Su Ying, sitting on the horse, swung the electric baton in her hand and hit Lord Li hard on the head. Lord Li heard the sound of his skull breaking, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with his eyes open.
Su Ying looked at the place not far away and slowly raised the tranquilizer gun in her hand.
With a few "chi chi chi" sounds, the guards escorting Xie Rui were shot and fell to the ground one after another.
Xie Rui, who was seriously injured, fell to the ground without anyone to support him.
The remaining Jin guards looked at Su Ying who was approaching in horror.
"If you don't want to die, get out."
The guards' faces turned pale. They were already at the end of their strength and could not be a match for Su Ying at all.
But they did not dare to run away, because if they escaped, they would die if they returned to Jin.
"Take it."
The bandit leaders roared and rushed forward to fight with the guards.
The guards were already terrified and were no match for them. They were captured in no time.
Su Ying rode her horse's hooves over to Xie Rui and looked down at him.
The pain from the wounds on Xie Rui's body made him almost faint. He looked up at Su Ying, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
"You, you let me go, I, I will take people away immediately." He knew that Su Ying would not take any tough measures, so he would give in. As long as he could get out of here alive, he would definitely find a way to raze this damn place to the ground and personally take off Su Ying's head!
Su Ying raised the corners of her lips in contempt, "Didn't this city lord give you a chance? Are you afraid now? It's too late."
"Take him back."
"yes."
Hu Wei led his men to chase the remaining troops of Jin State, while Su Ying took Xie Rui back to the camp first.
After driving away the people from Jin and Nanguo, Su Ying immediately had people set up checkpoints around the mine to guard the entire mining area. The next issue was mining.
"Let's have everyone who's good at mining come here tomorrow."
"yes."
Opening a mine is not that easy. If you rely solely on manpower, the risk is too high and the process is slow.
At night, while Hu Wei and the others were cleaning up the mess, Su Ying returned to the big tent and entered the space.
She wanted to see if there were any tools in the space that could assist in mining.
After searching for a while, she actually found some things that could be used, but she was not in a hurry to take them out. She was not a professional in mining, so she had to wait for them to discuss it and see the specific implementation situation before making any plans.
When Su Ying came out of the space, it was already dawn outside.
"City Lord."
As soon as he came out, Hu Wei's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in."
Hu Wei walked into the room and was surprised to see Su Ying still wearing the blood-stained clothes from yesterday.
Su Ying sat down on the chair and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My Lord, we captured some people from the Jin Kingdom yesterday and interrogated them at night. They said that they knew about the discovery of the mine in the Northern Wasteland because someone told them through a letter. The eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom sent people to investigate after hearing the news."
Su Ying's eyes darkened slightly, "There is a spy."
"Yes." During the time when Su Ying and the others were away, they also accepted some people in, but not many.
"It is the fault of my subordinates. Please punish us, City Lord."
Tiankui City is their stronghold. If there is a spy inside, they will most likely be disintegrated internally. This is indeed no small problem.
"Do they know who brought them the message?"
Hu Wei shook his head. "They are just low-ranking pawns. Some of the news they heard was just hearsay. They don't know anything too private."
"Where's Xie Rui?"
"After he was brought back, he fainted."
"Take those men back to the city and guard them today. They are still useful. Go and investigate the spy and make sure to find him for me." Xie Rui had caused them so much trouble, and it would be too easy for him to die just like that. She would not let him die without squeezing every penny out of him.
"I understand."
"By the way, Uncle Meng and his men are also settled in the city now?"
"Yes, they forced their way into the Tiger Camp. Mengzi and his men first led people to resist, but later found that they were no match for them. After leading the enemy away, they immediately led their men to evacuate to Tiankui City."
Su Ying nodded, "I'm glad you're okay. Let's take them back first."
"yes."
