Chapter 610 Who do you think is too dangerous?
"City Lord, those people are very cunning. Last time, Chief Chu was fooled by them!"
"Yes, City Lord, these people are too dangerous."
Su Ying raised her eyes slightly, "Hmm? What did you say just now? Who is too dangerous?"
The bandit leader choked and stared blankly into Su Ying's eyes that were devoid of any warmth.
Was it because the city lord had been away for too long? He had actually forgotten that there was absolutely no one in the world more dangerous than the city lord!
"I will send someone to pass the message right away."
The camps of the three parties were not far from each other, but the strange thing was that during the camping process, each party would not take the initiative to provoke the other party unless the other party was close to the mine.
Su Ying's meaning soon reached the ears of the leaders of the two countries.
The person in charge of the Southern Kingdom stood up from his chair upon hearing this. "What did you say? What did the Lord of Tiankui City send to tell you?"
"Yes, they said their city lord wants to see you."
The face of the person in charge of the Southern Kingdom instantly darkened. He knew that when General Wei Zhen ordered Lieutenant General Li to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to Tiankui City, the whole army was wiped out. The second master Li, who was most likely to succeed the head of the Li family, never returned after he came.
The reason they dared to come this time was that they heard that the mayor of Tiankui City had long been away from the city, and the person in charge now was just a weak scholar.
Now it is said that the mayor of Tiankui City wants to see him. Could it be that he has come back again?
Since the Southern Kingdom was defeated by the Chu Kingdom, its border has retreated two city boundaries, and General Weizhen was dismissed from his post. Now another general is guarding the city, and the more than 2,000 people he brought this time are also border soldiers.
"Deputy General Wang, it wasn't us who attacked Chu Yun last time. We can wait and see what happens."
Deputy General Wang thought it made sense. After all, there was a country behind them, so the other party would be cautious if they wanted to touch them.
"Okay, agree to their request and see who this city lord is. Also, send people down to be on guard and don't let the other party take advantage of any loopholes."
"yes."
Su Ying's words soon reached the ears of the people of Jin.
Inside the Jin army camp, a figure sat on a tiger bench with a look of impatience.
He has been in this damn place for such a long time, but he still hasn't touched a piece of iron ore. He has long lost his patience to wait!
"Your Highness, someone from Tiankui City has sent a message saying that the city lord has returned and wants to talk to your Highness and the person in charge of the Southern Kingdom."
Xie Rui stood up from his chair. "City Lord? What City Lord? And who was the one we assassinated before?"
Xie Rui always thought that Chu Yun was the master of Tiankui City, so he made a careful plan to kill Chu Yun last time.
Now someone came out and said that Chu Yun was not the mayor of Tiankui City, and that there was someone else who was the mayor? !
After hearing this, the subordinates were unable to answer for a while. It seemed that they had not said before that Chu Yun was the city lord, but he was just in charge of the affairs in the city now.
"Your Highness, are they deliberately seeking revenge?" After all, they almost killed Chu Yun last time.
Xie Rui had a grim face. It was not impossible, but he no longer had the patience to waste time here. When he heard that an iron mine had been discovered here, he immediately sent people to check out the situation. If he could take the iron mine for himself, he would have made a great contribution, and his father would surely reward him. However, he had been here for so long and had not even dug out a piece of ore. He had long been impatient.
"Go, I want to see what they can do, but you tell them that I agree to meet him, but I will decide the meeting place, and the other party can only bring two people."
"Yes, I'll pass the message over there right away."
The three camps were not far apart, and the reply from Jin and Nanguo quickly reached Su Ying's ears.
"City Lord, the Jin State said they would like to talk, but the location of the meeting must be decided by them, and each party can only bring two people."
"These Jin people are very cunning. Are they trying to do the same thing to the city lord?"
Su Ying heard this without even frowning, "Promise him."
"yes."
Seeing that Su Ying agreed, Xie Rui immediately called his confidants to choose a location that was beneficial to them. After the location was decided, the people of Tiankui City also informed the people of the Southern Country of the meeting location.
When Vice General Wang heard this position, he sneered, "The group of cowards in Jin State want to rob us of the mines. They even have to jump out of their own territory to meet us, for fear of being killed. Tell them that the general will arrive on time."
"yes."
Xie Rui arranged the meeting place not far from the Jin State camp. If Tiankui City wanted to do something bad to him, his people could come to support him in time.
The meeting was scheduled for the next morning.
That night Su Ying did not return to the city, but stayed directly in the camp.
After a simple dinner, Su Ying was about to rest when she saw a figure loitering outside the big tent.
The figure swayed for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally stopping outside her tent.
After a moment, Su Ying heard Qiao Yang's sneaky voice outside the tent, "City Lord, are you asleep?"
Su Ying's voice was filled with the laziness of someone about to fall asleep. "Go ahead."
"It's freezing cold at night. If the city lord feels cold, I will definitely warm his bed at night... um!"
"I was wondering where you were in the middle of the night, you little brat. You came to disturb the city lord's sleep. Be careful or the city lord will skin you alive if you don't follow me back!"
Before Qiao Yang could finish his words, he was dragged away by Hu Wei.
Su Yingmei's heart skipped a beat and she slowly closed her eyes.
She had a dreamless night and slept more soundly than ever before.
After all, the air in the northern wilderness is fresher.
"Is the city lord up?" Hu Wei's voice sounded outside the big tent.
"I got up."
Su Ying dressed neatly and walked out.
"They have prepared breakfast. There is still more than an hour before the meeting. The city lord will go over after eating."
Su Ying nodded.
The food here is simple. There are basically no fresh fruits and vegetables in this season. However, Cheng Ming and Aunt Jiang made a lot of pickles before winter, and they are delicious when eaten with meat.
After eating, Hu Wei expressed his desire to follow her to the meeting place.
As soon as Hu Wei finished speaking, Qiao Yang said anxiously: "City Lord, I want to go too, I want to go too."
Su Ying glanced at him coldly, "You two brothers are going to be wiped out together. Do you have any descendants in the Qiao family?"
Qiao Yang choked, "For the city lord, I will devote myself to his work until my death!"
Not to mention, Su Ying was still a little touched.
In the end, they left Qiao Yang in the camp and took the bandit leader and Hu Wei away.
