Chapter 271 Wait for Me to Come Back
Jiang Yang suddenly came to his senses and slapped his thigh in anger.
Although he got a lot of information out of Jiang Yang, Zhu Lin was still confused about the current situation.
He really wanted to know what had happened between Su Ying and Xiao Jin that led to such a strange change.
But the important thing now is to persuade Xiao Jin to go back.
"Master Zhu, how is Xiao Jin doing?"
Some minor officials who came with Zhu Lin were also sent over.
Zhu Lin paced the room irritably. "Master Zhang, my cousin has changed. He no longer loves his country. He says he is a rootless person and everything in Chu has nothing to do with him."
Lord Zhang was stunned. On the way here, they had imagined countless scenes of Xiao Jin being grateful and excited to go back to Chu with them. How could they have never expected that he would be unwilling to do so?
"What should we do then?"
Zhu Lin sighed, "Do you think my cousin will think we are not sincere?"
"He wants to redeem himself for his crime. Why would he need sincerity?"
Zhu Lin said calmly: "But isn't this rare for me?"
Lord Zhang was also in a dilemma. If he didn't want it, what should he do?
"General Lian has some friendship with my cousin, why don't we ask him to come and give some advice?"
Lord Zhang was shocked and looked at Zhu Lin as if he was a fool. "Lord Zhu, General Lian is the commander-in-chief!"
Zhu Lin spread his hands and said, "Then there is nothing I can do. I can't do this. Go back and accept the punishment tomorrow."
Lord Zhang remained silent. Outside were soldiers from the Southern Country. If Xiao Jin didn't care about their lives, could they still go back?
Lord Zhang felt that the patient could still be rescued, so he ran to the main hall door and appealed to Xiao Jin's emotions and reason, which greatly affected the family of four's mood for dinner, and he was thrown back.
Zhu Lin held the roasted sweet potato brought by the man in black and shook his head, "Master Zhang, take care of yourself."
Lord Zhang wanted to cry, and finally he could only send a message to the border, asking General Yongwu for help, and indirectly expressed his wish that General Lian could come over in person.
After Lian Shen returned with defeated troops again, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead his men to Tiankui City, and General Yongwu had to guard this place temporarily.
In fact, General Yongwu has already reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor replied, letting them make their own decision. The meaning is clear, that is, if you can't beat them, then kneel down and beg them to come back, otherwise you don't have to come back!
As soon as the Lian Shen people entered the northern wilderness, Lin Kun, who was guarding there, brought back the news.
Jiang Yang handed the message sent by Lin Kun to Xiao Jin.
After reading it, Xiao Jin threw the message into the fire, and the white paper instantly turned into ashes. "Tell Jiang Yun and the others to get ready. They may leave at any time."
"yes."
Xiao Jin turned around and went back to the palace, and saw Su Ying walking towards him from outside the palace.
He stopped and stood there waiting for her.
Su Ying also saw Xiao Jin. Before she could speak, she heard him say, "Come into the hall. I have something to tell you."
Su Ying didn't know what he was going to say.
"What's up?"
After entering the hall, Xiao Jin closed the door, walked to a cabinet, and took out a small wine jar the size of a palm.
"What's this?"
Xiao Jin opened the jar and poured two cups. When the wine flowed out of the jar, a strong aroma of wine hit his face.
Su Ying took a deep breath, and the strong aroma of wine immediately filled her head.
"Lian Shen has already entered the Northern Wasteland. I will wait for him at the Tiger Camp."
Su Ying understood as soon as she heard it. He was getting ready to leave. For some reason, she felt a little worried.
"Now the Southern Kingdom has captured two cities from the Chu Kingdom. How confident are you that you can take them back?"
Xiao Jin picked up the wine glass and put it in her hand. "General Weiwu is very impatient and has a hot temper. He will lose his patience after two rounds with him. He wants to defeat his opponent in a short time. The more he does this, the more likely he will show flaws."
Su Ying saw that he knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions. She raised her glass and clinked it with his. "I'll wait for your good news."
Xiao Jin's dark eyes were deep, and he looked deeply into her eyes, then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
As the wine entered her mouth, it brought with it a strong aroma. As it passed through her throat, it choked Su Ying so much that her eyes turned red. She coughed lightly. This wine was too strong.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Uncle Murong's unique skill is called intoxication."
Su Ying frowned, intoxicated, so drunk that her vision became blurry.
Su Ying turned around and wanted to lie down on the bed for a while, but when she turned around, her forehead hit Xiao Jin's strong chest.
She frowned and raised her chin slightly to look at him, "I feel dizzy. I need to sleep for a while."
However, Xiao Jin picked her up and held her upright, pressed her against the wall, and sprayed his hot breath with the scent of alcohol on her forehead, making her whole body feel hot.
"Xiao Jin, what are you doing? It's so hot, let go."
Xiao Jin narrowed his dark eyes slightly, lifted her face and looked at her in fascination, "Su Ying, what did that wine taste like just now?"
"What can wine taste like? Of course it tastes like... um..."
The overbearing invasion swept in, causing Su Ying to gasp for air, but the aroma of wine wafting around her nose was indeed intoxicating.
She did not struggle, or even respond subconsciously. The alcohol paralyzed her brain and she acted only on instinct.
Xiao Jin felt her response, and a light flashed in the depths of his black eyes. This kiss seemed like an outlet, like reluctance. Until their heartbeats became faster and faster, so fast that Su Ying wanted to tear his clothes to pieces, Xiao Jin suddenly let go of her, carried her to the bed and gently put her down.
He leaned over to look at her blushing face and laughed happily, "Su Ying, do you want to sleep with me?"
His voice was low and contained a deadly allure.
Su Ying closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. She had indeed lost control a little just now. "You'd better come back alive, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils bright and startling, "Otherwise, I will destroy the Southern Kingdom."
“Hahahaha!” Xiao Jin laughed loudly, the vibration of his chest resounding throughout the hall. “Okay, wait for me.”
That night, Xiao Jin took Jiang Yun and the others away through the path behind the mausoleum behind the palace.
The soldiers from the Southern Kingdom probably never realized until their death that they had been guarding for so long, but in vain.
At night, the two little kids leaned on Su Ying's arms. At this time, Xiao Jin had already taken his people away.
"Mother, Daddy is out fighting the bad guys. When will he be back?"
"Well, when Ling'er can squat steadily, your father will be back."
"Mother, Daddy will definitely come back."
Su Ying patted their backs gently, her expression was extremely firm, "Of course."
Three days later, Lian Shen and his men found the Tiger Camp.
Xiao Jin stood on the city wall of Tiger Camp, looked at Lian Shen who was approaching, and asked someone to open the gate.
Lian Shen looked at the open door and did not go in, but knelt down outside the door.
"Lian Shen pays homage to His Majesty and implores His Majesty to return to the country and protect the mountains and rivers of our Chu State."
