Chapter 70 Southern Xinjiang Gu
"Xu Yubai will have a baby by next spring. Why would you go back? Will the Xu family have room for you?"
Zhang Qiyue curled his lips. He was ordered by Sun Sheng'an to take Yan Su back to the Ruiwang Mansion in Shangjing, but Yan Su always tried to run away when he wasn't paying attention, causing him trouble along the way.
Upon hearing the news that Xu Yubai was going to have the baby, Yan Su's eyes flashed with disappointment. Zhang Qiyue saw this look and taunted her, "Don't you know? Xu Yubai doesn't even take you seriously, and you're so eager to go back? You said you were serving as the commander of the Shenji Camp, earning a salary from the court, and you could do whatever you wanted. Why would you risk your life for the Xu family?"
Yan Su glared at him coldly. This child, still so young, was talking so logically and logically, which was totally unlike what someone of his age could say. She sneered, "What do you know, child?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "child", which also angered Zhang Qiyue. He hated being called a child the most, and he immediately got angry: "Who are you talking about? Do you know that I..."
"Zhang Qiyue!" Xie Chengyan interrupted him at the right time. Zhang Qiyue glanced at Xie Chengyan, then turned to look at the tied Yan Su, and finally shut up.
After the noise stopped, Xie Chengyan asked Yan Su, "Since you've taken the new version of the Shenjiying blueprints to the Xu family, I won't make things difficult for you. Even if I kill you, the Xu family's copy won't be returned."
He threw the brush and ink in front of Yan Su and said, "Draw that picture, and everything between you and me will be written off."
Zhang Qiyue was unhappy after hearing this and was speechless. He then asked, "Are you just going to let her go like this? She's hurt so many people!"
Xie Chengyan certainly knew that it was Yan Su who killed the three hundred craftsmen, but in the final analysis, it was the Xu family that was at odds with him. If he only killed Yan Su, it would mean that the case was hastily concluded, and a leader of unknown origin would not deserve to die.
What he wanted was for the Xu family to suffer setbacks.
Yan Su sat on the ground, her hands and feet bound, her eyes fixed on Xie Chengyan. Suddenly, she laughed and asked with a cold tone, "If I gave you a fake blueprint, you wouldn't know if it was real or not?"
"How dare you draw fake ones..." Zhang Qiyue was angry and was about to kick her shoulder, but Xie Chengyan raised his hand to stop him. However, his foot had already landed, Yan Su dodged, and Zhang Qiyue retracted his strength, and the kick landed directly on her lower abdomen.
Yan Su fell to the ground in pain, sweating coldly. Xie Chengyan rolled his eyes at Zhang Qiyue and was speechless towards him.
Zhang Qiyue was stunned. He had clearly held back his strength. The kick he had landed on her shouldn't have been heavy. Why was this man still trying to scam her? He was being wronged.
But looking at her expression at the moment, it doesn't seem like she's pretending. If she could pretend like that, she'd be really good at acting, right?
Xie Chengyan lowered his head and took out a jar of medicine from his clothes. It was a white jade porcelain bottle, very exquisite.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after we try it on the Divine Machine Battalion. This king values you, but that doesn't mean you have to be the leader of my Divine Machine Battalion." As he spoke, he walked over to the desk in the duty room and poured out a bowl of water. "Southern Xinjiang Gu worms. General Lu knows that the people in the Divine Machine Battalion have complicated backgrounds. He was worried that it would be difficult for me, his brother-in-law, to manage them, so he brought some back from Southern Xinjiang for me. They say that within ten days, if there's no antidote, the Gu worms will suck your blood dry. This king hasn't used them yet, but I'd like to see them for himself."
