Su Ruojin was about to shoot out the Thousand Soul-Severing Needles when she smelled a familiar scent and heard a deep voice, "Ajin, it's me."
Su Ruojin looked up at the man holding her; his eyes were full of worry.
"Yanchu, you're here." The moment Su Ruojin saw Xiao Yanchu, she felt all the tension in her body relax, and she suddenly felt weak, letting Xiao Yanchu support her.
"Okay, you take a rest, I'll take care of the rest."
"good."
Hu Qing also rushed over and, together with Su Wenzhou, dealt with the people in the courtyard.
As for the others, Xiao Yanchu's men dealt with them effortlessly.
Tong Mingshan had already realized that the situation was hopeless, and when he tried to escape in the chaos, he was caught and brought back.
Everything is already set in stone.
Su Ruojin suddenly spoke up, "Quickly, send someone to the foot of Lishan Mountain!"
"Ah Jin, don't worry, I've already sent someone over."
Tong Mingshan had already guessed Xiao Yanchu's identity and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm here to arrest a traitor! Your Highness, you can't wrong an innocent person!"
"Tong Mingshan, save your words for the Dali Temple."
Tong Mingshan collapsed to the ground.
It's over, everything is over.
The people Xiao Yanchu sent to Lishan have also returned. The manor in Lishan has long been deserted, with nothing left behind.
"They ran fast, but they were still a step too late."
Xiao Yanchu pursed her lips slightly, "Hu Qing, the rest is up to you."
After saying that, Xiao Yanchu picked up Su Ruojin, held her in his arms, mounted his horse, and galloped towards Yulin City.
Su Ruojin did not refuse; she was extremely exhausted after all this ordeal.
Quietly nestled in Xiao Yanchu's arms like a cat, she didn't know why Xiao Yanchu had managed to come, but his arrival was enough.
Listening to Xiao Yanchu's heartbeat, Su Ruojin felt a sense of peace, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Looking at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, Xiao Yanchu felt even more heartache.
He pulled on the reins to slow the horse down, carefully protecting her. He regretted not bringing a carriage so that Ah Jin could have a proper rest.
Upon arriving at the inn, Xiao Yanchu gently placed Su Ruojin on the bed and asked the waiter for hot water.
After the previous chaotic battle, Su Ruojin's face and hands were covered in blood and dust.
Xiao Yanchu wrung out the handkerchief and gently wiped her face.
"Ah Jin, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer."
Su Ruojin seemed to hear but not quite, she murmured something, turned over and slept even more soundly.
Xiao Yanchu smiled and gently kissed Su Ruojin's forehead.
Just then, Hu Qing's soft voice came from outside, "Your Highness."
Xiao Yanchu quietly opened the door and went out, gesturing for Hu Qing to talk in another room.
"Your Highness, the people the Princess sent out to follow the official ship have sent back a message. The ship is indeed fake; it's just made to look like an official ship."
After sailing towards the capital for a while, the ship turned around and headed north. Presumably, that's how the iron ore was sold to the north.
"Hehe, I never knew that a mere prefect of Yulin could have such great abilities."
“However, Huang Tong vehemently denies that he forged letters accusing him of treason, and doesn’t seem to be lying,” Hu Qing said.
Huang Tongpan's son is in their hands, and Huang Tongpan must be well aware that his affair with Tong Mingshan has been exposed, and his chances of survival are slim.
This son is his only bloodline in this world, and given how much he values his son, he wouldn't hide anything anymore now.
Now many things have come to light, but if the source of those letters from the Su family is not clarified, the Su family's crimes cannot be absolved.
“I know where those letters came from.” Just then, the door was pushed open and a person walked in.
