Chapter 441: The Chu State's Spy
Su Ying first brought the man into the guest room and tied him up before returning to the backyard to put all the fish into the space.
The woman watched Su Ying leave and struggled to break free from the rope in her hands. She rubbed her head on the bed and a small razor blade fell out of her hair.
She picked up the blade and quickly cut the rope on her hand.
After Su Ying packed the fish, she returned to the guest room.
When the woman heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing and looked at Su Ying with fear in her round eyes, as if she was extremely scared.
"Don't struggle in vain. You can't break this rope." This is not an ordinary hemp rope. Even if you use an axe to chop it, it may not be broken. Otherwise, how could she be so confident to leave someone alone in the house?
"Young Master..." the woman called softly.
"This rope hurts me so much, could you please loosen it for me?" Her eyes were as charming as silk, innocent and charming, truly an example of pure desire.
Su Ying opened the water bag and took a sip, then pulled a stool to sit in front of her. "Every move you make seems to be well-planned. Even the upturned corners of your eyes are just right, but you lack your own soul. You look like a member of some organization who has undergone a long period of training."
The woman's pupils changed several times as Su Ying spoke. She tried hard to keep a steady expression on her face, but her hands, which were tied behind her back, were clenched tightly.
"Let me guess, are you the spy that those officers and soldiers on the street want to catch?"
The woman's mind was racing, as if she was wondering who Su Ying was and what she should do to make Su Ying let her go.
"Tell me, where is the spy? Tell me the truth, and maybe I can consider letting you go." Anyway, the life and death of Jin State has nothing to do with her.
"Where are you from, sir?"
Su Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Southerner."
The woman blinked and said harmlessly, "But from my sister's accent, it doesn't sound like she's from the South."
"Because my mother is from the Chu State, so I speak with a Chu accent."
The woman looked at Su Ying, unable to tell what was real and what was fake for a moment.
"Don't test me. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. You can choose not to tell me the truth, or I can hand you over to the soldiers of Jin."
The woman frowned as if she was struggling, but Su Ying was not in a hurry. She took out some snacks from her bag and started eating leisurely.
A quarter of an hour was about to pass when the woman suddenly spoke up, "I am a spy from the Southern Kingdom. I was discovered and pursued while investigating the secrets of the Jin Kingdom. I don't know who you are, but we have no grudges against each other. Please let me go."
Su Ying kept looking into the woman's eyes while she was speaking. There was no fluctuation in the expression in her eyes as she spoke every word, proving that what she said was true.
But even if it is true, it may not be true.
There is a kind of lie in which he can tell all the true contents by avoiding the important points, but once he says it, the contents that people conclude may not be true.
This person is a spy, and she may have come from the South, but she is not necessarily a southerner. She was discovered while she was investigating secrets, but she did not say whether she had discovered the secrets of Jin State.
"I believe what you say is true."
The woman didn't expect Su Ying to believe her so easily. She thought she would have to argue for a while, but Su Ying's next words made her heart sink completely.
"So, what secrets of the Jin State have you discovered? What country are you from? Who do you work for?"
The woman was stunned. She thought Su Ying was someone who was easy to fool!
Su Ying finished the last piece of dessert, slowly walked up to her and searched her body.
The woman was not panicked when she saw Su Ying was looking for something on her.
Su Ying glanced at her without stopping her hands until she reached out to take off her shoes. Then a hint of panic flashed across the woman's eyes.
"I stole the border formation map of Jin State."
Su Ying paused slightly, then took off her shoes and looked at them.
The woman became even more anxious, "I am from Chu! If you can help me return to Chu, Chu will definitely reward me handsomely."
Su Ying's eyes showed a strange color, but her hands did not stop moving. "Where are you from in Chu State? Who are you working for?"
"Since he is a spy, he is naturally working for the country."
Su Ying shook the shoes and found a superimposed dark layer and a key inside.
The moment the key was taken out, the woman's face changed completely. "What I said is true. You are also a Chu citizen, right? If you hand me over, it will only ruin the country."
Su Ying turned her eyes and looked straight into her eyes. "Where is the formation diagram?"
The woman pursed her lips and said, "I don't know your identity yet. Even if I die, I will never hand over the things."
"What evidence do you have to prove that you were sent by the State of Chu?"
"No, the identities of spies are not allowed to be seen in public. No one except our superiors will know our identities."
"Well, I want you to pass on a message to your organization saying that the Queen of Chu is still alive and is now at the border between Chu and Jin. Ask them to inform the Emperor immediately."
The woman looked at Su Ying in surprise. She had been working in Jin State and had no idea what was happening in the country.
The Queen shouldn't be staying in the harem, so why would she go to the border between Chu and Jin?
Furthermore, why did the man in front of her ask her to send such a message? If it was a fraud...
"You can't keep something as important as the battle formation map on your person. Spies won't trust anyone easily. If your stuff wasn't sent back to your superiors, you would have kept it in a place that wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion."
It won't arouse suspicion and allows her to get it out of customs at any time.
"Does Jin also have a storage pavilion?"
The woman's pupils shrank and her body became stiff.
"Wait, I'll go check it out."
Su Ying took the key and was about to leave.
"I'll pass it on, I'll help you pass the message!" The woman growled at the moment when Su Ying was about to step out of the door.
Su Ying paused, she knew that she had guessed right. The reason for the storage pavilion was because she remembered that Lin Zhuyu also hid the letter there, so she thought that place was really safer.
"If you want to send a letter back, you have to untie the ropes on the person, right? Our handwriting is different. If you write it for us, it might arouse suspicion."
Su Ying asked the waiter to bring up pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After the guy left, Su Ying untied the steel rope on her hands.
The woman picked up the pen and started writing with an obedient look, but her eyes were always on Su Ying. She was looking for a chance to escape.
Just as Su Ying looked away, the pen in the woman's hand suddenly stabbed towards Su Ying's vest!
But Su Ying's back seemed to have eyes, and she was slapped in the face when she turned around.
