"We know we were wrong. Please spare our lives, Lord. Please forgive us this time."
There were weak pleas for mercy, but the cold expression on Su Ying's face did not ease at all.
"This city lord has given you a chance before, to let you live here peacefully. Since you are unwilling, then just be a slave and work like a cow or a horse."
Su Ying paused and continued, "I remember the severe pain just now. If anyone disobeys you again, this severe pain will follow you until you die. Bring them all in and resettle them."
Although the severe pain was terrifying, the villagers felt relieved when they saw that Su Ying was still willing to let them return to the Tiger Camp. No matter what, at least they were alive now.
Afterwards, when Su Ying relaxes, they can go back to their previous lives.
Su Ying looked at their relieved expressions and sneered, thinking that they were thinking too kindly of her.
The men in black came forward and brought all the villagers into the Tiger Camp, but to their surprise, the men in black did not let them go back to where they had lived before, but took them to a large house that looked like a granary.
The man in black led them in, closed the door and left.
The villagers looked at each other, wondering what this meant.
"This... didn't they say they would let us back? Why did they lock us up again?"
"Say less, that woman is probably still angry now, she will let us out in a few days when she calms down. Didn't the man in black say before that we still need to cultivate this piece of wasteland?"
The fright of the whole night and the pain just now had exhausted them. Although they could not return to their previous house as they wished, at least they now had a place to rest.
Gradually the murmurs died down and the exhausted villagers fell asleep.
What they didn't expect was that the next day, the door was opened by men in black before dawn.
"Get up, get up, grab your tools, line up and get ready to work."
The villagers were awakened from their sleep and looked at the man in black in confusion.
But thinking of the fear they experienced yesterday, they still obediently picked up their tools and lined up properly.
After the man in black counted the number of people, he took them to the wasteland and started working.
The villagers were confused. They hadn't eaten anything and hadn't even had a drink of water since they got up in the morning, so why were they coming to work?
Although the men in black had requirements when working before, they would never make people get up before dawn like they do now.
"Uncle, can you let me have a drink of water before I start working?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. If we don't finish today, no one will have food to eat."
The villager was about to speak when the man in black raised his whip. The villager was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.
"I don't want to drink anymore. I don't want to drink anymore. Please spare my life, please spare my life."
The man in black glanced at him coldly before turning and leaving.
Not far away, Su Ying looked coldly at the villagers who were working hard.
"Did you remember everything I told you?"
The Black Guardian nodded honestly, "Go back to the City Lord, I've remembered everything."
"You are also partially responsible for what happened this time. If it happens again, you will go back to the city and comb the fur and catch fleas for those cute little creatures of our city lord."
The Black Guardian didn't even dare to raise his head, "Yes, I will definitely not let the City Lord worry about it anymore."
The Northern Wilderness does not support idle people. Since these people are unwilling to be human beings here, Su Ying makes them laborers who can only work and eat. After all, this path is chosen by themselves.
After explaining the matter, Su Ying returned to Tiankui City.
As soon as I returned to the city, Green Protector came in with a letter sent by a flying eagle.
Su Ying's brows were twisted into a shape of "川" when she looked at the red paint on the letter.
Xiao Jin had a habit. If the content of the letter was urgent, he would put a little red paint on the letter.
Su Ying quickly opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance.
The content of the letter was very brief and clear. Xiao Jin said that spies had recently discovered that Jin State and Southern State had been secretly having close contacts, and officers and soldiers on the border had also captured some spies from the two countries.
From the spies, we learned that the two countries were probably secretly discussing to join forces to deal with the State of Chu.
Now both countries are secretly accumulating troops on the border and may attack the State of Chu at any time.
After reading the letter, Su Ying threw it into the fire pit, and the flames instantly engulfed the thin letter paper.
The feud between the Southern Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom has a long history. It's fine if the Southern Kingdom wants to attack the Chu Kingdom, but why is the Jin Kingdom joining in?
But think about it, relations between countries have always been about interests, and decisions are often made with interests first. If Jin State finds it profitable to join forces with the Southern State to attack the Chu State, it would not be surprising that Jin State would send troops.
If the Three Kingdoms really go to war, I don’t know if there are any useful generals in the Chu court.
At night, Su Ying thought about this and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
He thought that if there were no useful generals in the court, wouldn't Xiao Jin have to go into battle himself?
What about the court and the children?
As soon as day broke, Su Ying stood up and called Chu Yun over.
"Now things here are gradually being arranged on the schedule, whether it is iron smelting or mining, they are all being carried out in an orderly manner. I will leave for Chu in the next two days, and then I will leave everything here to you."
Chu Yun saw Su Ying's cold expression and thought that something must have happened in the State of Chu, otherwise she would not be so anxious to go back.
"City Lord, what happened?"
"Yes, there are some problems, but they can be solved. You don't have to worry about it. Just take care of this place."
"Yes, I understand."
Su Ying was not actually completely reassured about the situation here, but if the three kingdoms really started fighting, she was worried that something might happen to the people she cared about, so she had to go back and watch it in person.
In the next two days, Su Ying kept walking around the city, giving orders on all matters to avoid any mistakes or omissions.
The night she left, she only met with Chu Yun. Chu Yun wanted someone to escort her out, but she refused.
As for the team she brought back from the State of Chu, she temporarily left them in the City of Tiankui. This time, she went back alone, mainly because she didn't want to waste time bringing others with her.
After night fell, Su Ying quickly left Tiankui City.
After making sure she was out of the patrol team's sight, she quickly took out her means of transportation from the space.
Fortunately, I have this thing, otherwise I don’t know how long I would have to spend on the road.
Su Ying got on the air motorcycle, pushed the horsepower to maximum, and with a loud bang, she flew into the forest.
Chu State, in the imperial study.
Xiao Jin looked at the pile of memorials in front of him with an expressionless face.
He reviewed the memorial in his hand and put it aside, then picked up another one.
Zhang Shuming looked at the time and stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't you go to bed early?"
Xiao Jin didn't even raise his head. "It's been a few days since I sent the letter to the Queen. Hasn't the Queen replied yet?"
