End

“Alright, 1’11 go and recruit the soldiers immediately.”

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing had the same thoughts. The coal mine must not fall into the hands of the imperial court.

Xiao Zeyu walked out of the camp, his eyes as dark as ink. The fact that the imperial army could find the coal mine so quickly must have been Qiu Yongkang’s doing. To get promoted and make a fortune, Qiu Yongkang betrayed them to the end.

“We must go to the iron mine as soon as possible.”

Su Qing said to Xiao Zeyu. She also thought Qiu Yongkang had told the court about the coal mine. Since the coal mine had already been revealed, there would naturally be a lot of iron ore. Uncle Qu and Uncle Jiang were doomed.

“I’ve set up traps for the iron mine and used a smokescreen. They won’t be able to find it so easily.”

Xiao Zeyu said in a deep voice. He was glad he didn’t tell Qiu Yongkang about the traps he set up in Pearl Mountain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep the iron mine.

“Then you have to do it as soon as possible.”

Su Qing wasn’t as optimistic as Xiao Zeyu. There were many capable people in the Imperial Court, and it was only a matter of time before the mechanism was unlocked.

“Yes.”

Xiao Zeyu agreed with Su Qing. These two mines were significant to the Xiao Family Army. With coal, they wouldn’t lack money. With iron, they would have weapons. They couldn’t be lacking.

Xiao Zeyu beat the drum and gathered the soldiers that very night. He gave Cheng Yu a red-headed military order, asking him to send a letter to Yan Shikuan, asking him to send troops to support Mo City.

Xiao Zeyu was afraid that after he took away all the soldiers of Mo City, he would leave an empty city for the enemy to exploit.

“Young master, this old man is willing to fight.”

Cheng Yu cupped his fists at Xiao Zeyu.

“Uncle Cheng, look after Mo City and protect its people.”

Xiao Zeyu supported Cheng Yu with both hands and entrusted Mo City to him.

“This old man will not disappoint Young Lord.”

Cheng Yu cupped his fists, his eyes filled with determination as he promised Xiao Zeyu.

After Xiao Zeyu finished his instructions to Uncle Cheng, he turned around and realized that Su Qing was gone.

“Have you seen Su Qing?”

Xiao Zeyu asked the guard beside him.

“Miss Su went out.”

“Let’s start with the soldiers!”

Xiao Zeyu also didn’t want Su Qing to take risks with him. It was better if she wasn’t around.

With Xiao Zeyu’s hard work, the Xiao Family Army grew from one to two hundred to nearly a thousand men.

Some of the recruits had yet to go through the training of war, which was an excellent opportunity to train them.

Xiao Zeyu left behind 200 soldiers to defend the city and took away most of the troops.

Since the imperial court had snatched the coal mine, they would send an army to protect it. If they brought fewer soldiers, they would suffer.

It was early morning, and the third watch had already passed. This was the best time to send troops. The more they walked, the brighter the sky became.

Before they left, they let the soldiers eat a hot meal. After eating, the sky had brightened slightly, and the sun revealed a golden hub.

Lin Xiang was valued and rode on his tall horse beside Xiao Zeyu. He looked around and did not find Su Qing. He could not help but ask Xiao Zeyu, “Miss Su is not coming?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”

Xiao Zeyu’s sharp gaze shot towards Lin Xiang, his voice cold.

Xiao Zeyu’s suspicion towards him would only be suspicion if he were honest and didn’t speak. But since he asked about Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu was sure that there was something wrong with this person.

“Yes, I’ve exceeded my boundaries.”

Lin Xiang lowered his head in fear and hurriedly apologized, not daring to ask another question.

Just as the army reached the northern city gates, they saw a black horse treading on the snow. Su Qing was riding on the horse. Her red cloak flew in the wind like a red cloud.

Xiao Zeyu heard the sound of horse hooves and turned his head. Seeing Su Qing galloping over, he stopped his horse and waited. The soldiers also stopped in place. Everyone saw Miss Su riding over on a light dust and was convinced by Su Qing’s brave and heroic bearing.

The Young Master’s wife is here. We’ll win this battle.

Everyone had an inexplicable admiration and trust for Su Qing. Su Qing’s prestige in the army was on par with Xiao Zeyu’s.

“Qing’er, this battle is dangerous. You should stay in Mo City and help Uncle Cheng defend the city!”

Although Xiao Zeyu wished to spend time with Su Qing day and night, this trip would be a fierce battle. He didn’t want Su Qing to take any risks.

Su Qing sat on her horse confidently and arrogantly. Her voice was not loud, but the entire army could hear it.

“Don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements for Uncle Cheng. No one can take down Mo City.”

Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing’s confident appearance and believed her words. He had no worries about the future, so he could focus on killing the enemy on the battlefield.

Lin Xiang’s eyes sparkled. He wanted to ask Su Qing what arrangements he had made, but he swallowed his words with Xiao Zeyu scolding him just now.

He moved his horse back to make room for Su Qing and followed closely behind her and Xiao Zeyu. He saw two bags on Su Qing’s horse. The bags looked heavy and stiff. He was interested in these two bags and wanted to know what was inside.

It was said that this woman was highly magical and knew how to make many new things. She made the great killing weapon. Could it be that she made the weapon in this bag?

If it was a great killing weapon…

Lin Xiang was lost in his thoughts. Su Qing turned around and glanced at him indifferently. When Lin Xiang saw Su Qing’s gaze, his heart trembled. Her gaze was abnormally sharp. Why did it feel like she knew everything?

The army walked on the official road. The snow was very thick. Most of these soldiers came from the South. Fortunately, they adapted to Mo City for a while and trained in the cold wind daily. They had already developed a tolerance for the icy weather.

The army rushed forward and only stopped at noon to rest and replenish their supplies.

Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu jumped off their horses and led their horses to the side. Xiao Zeyu took out the rations he had brought and handed them to Su Qing. Su Qing used his Luan saber to chop down the tree branches. This was the Nth time the Luan saber had been used as a wood-chopping knife. It was a waste of talent to use it to such an extent.

Su Qing lit a few bonfires and asked the soldiers to put on their dry rations and roast them over the fire.

Everyone was grateful to Su Qing. This young madam was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She took good care of them.

“Here.”

Su Qing finished roasting a steamed bun and handed it to Xiao Zeyu. Her cooking skills had already reached level 10. The steamed bun that she baked was also fragrant. The skin was crispy, and the inside was hot. It tasted good.

“Thank you, Qing’er.”

Xiao Zeyu took the steamed bun and thanked Su Qing. He sat beside her and broke the steamed bun to feed Su Qing.

“Qing’er, what did you bring on the horse?”

Xiao Zeyu finally found an opportunity to ask Su Qing. He was also very curious about what those two bags of things were.

“Great Kill”

Su Qing chewed on the steamed bun in her mouth and replied casually. Her voice was neither loud nor soft enough for Lin Xiang to hear.

When Lin Xiang heard that the two bags contained a great killing weapon, his pupils suddenly constricted. The power of the great killing weapon shocked the imperial court. He had also seen it with his own eyes. It was very terrifying.

Mortal bodies would die upon contact, and their corpses would explode into pieces.

With such a big killing weapon, even a thousand troops would be unable to resist it!

Su Qing finished the steamed bun and ate it slowly. She glanced around and saw Lin Xiang’s wandering eyes. She calmly retracted her gaze and continued eating her steamed bun.

“Let’s continue on our way.”

Xiao Zeyu finished his bun and stood up, ordering the resting soldiers.

The military situation was urgent. They had to rush to the coal mine as soon as possible.

Su Qing held Big Black’s hand, and Lin Xiang’s gaze followed Big Black.. When he saw the fire on the ground that had not yet burned out, he thought of a good idea!
