Chapter 271: Wait for Me to Come Back

The realization hit Jiang Yang at once and he slapped his thigh in anger.

Although he managed to get a lot of information out of Jiang Yang, Zhu Lin was still very confused about the current situation.

He really wanted to know what had happened between Su Ying and Xiao Jin for such a peculiar change to occur.

However, the most important thing now was to persuade Xiao Jin to go back.

“Lord Zhu, how is the matter with Xiao Jin?”

Some of the minor officials who had come with Zhu Lin were also brought here.

Zhu Lin paced around the room in frustration. “Lord Zhang, Elder Cousin has changed. He no longer loves his country. He said that he has no roots and that everything in the Chu State has nothing to do with him.”

Lord Zhang was stunned. On the way here, they had imagined countless scenes of Xiao Jin being deeply grateful and wanting to return to the Chu State with them excitedly. Why did they not foresee that he would be unwilling to go back?

“Then what should we do?”

Zhu Lin sighed. “Do you think Elder Cousin may have thought that we are insincere?”

“He’s going to atone for his crimes with meritorious contributions. What sincerity does he need?”

“But what if he doesn’t care?” Zhu Lin said indifferently.

Lord Zhang was also troubled. If he didn’t care, then what should they do?

“Doesn’t General Lian have some friendship with Elder Cousin? Why don’t we let him try to persuade him?”

Lord Zhang was shocked. He looked at Zhu Lin as if he was looking at a fool. “Lord Zhu, General Lian is the commander-in-chief!”

Zhu Lin spread out his hands. “Then there’s nothing 1 can do. 1 can’t do this. I’ll go back tomorrow and receive my punishment.”

Lord Zhang didn’t say anything else. There were soldiers from the Nan State outside. If Xiao Jin didn’t care about their lives, could they still make it back?

Lord Zhang felt that the situation could still be salvaged, so he ran to the entrance of the main hall. Then he used reason to make Xiao Jin understand and emotions to try and move him. This greatly affected the mood of the family of four when they were trying to eat, so he was thrown back.

Zhu Lin held the roasted sweet potato that the black-robed man had sent to him and shook his head. “Lord Zhang, take care of your health.”

Lord Zhang wanted to cry. In the end, he could only send a message to the border and ask for help from General Yong Wu. He expressed his hope in a roundabout way that General Lian could personally come over.

After Lian Shen returned with his defeated troops, he could only grit his teeth and lead his men to Sky Alpha City. He could only let General Yong Wu guard their camp for the time being.

In fact, General Yong Wu had already reported this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor had only replied that he would let the generals make their own decisions. The meaning was clear. If the generals couldn’t defeat the enemies, then they would just have to kneel and beg that guy to come back. Otherwise, all these generals would not need to come back any more!

As soon as Lian Shen entered the northern wilderness, Lin Kun, who was standing guard there, sent the news back.

Jiang Yang handed the message from Lin Kun to Xiao Jin.

After reading it, Xiao Jin threw the message into the fireplace, and the paper instantly turned to ashes. “Tell Jiang Yun and the rest to get prepared. We may set off at any time.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Xiao Jin turned around and returned to the palace, only to see Su Ying walking over from outside.

He stopped in his tracks and waited for her.

Su Ying also saw Xiao Jin. Before she could speak, she heard him say, “Come into the hall. I have something to say to you.”

Su Ying didn’t know what he was going to say.

“What is it?”

After entering the hall, Xiao Jin closed the door behind him. He came to a cabinet and took out a palm-sized wine jar.

“What is this?”

Xiao Jin opened the wine jar and poured two cups of wine. When the wine flowed out of the jar, a strong fragrance of wine wafted everywhere.

Su Ying took a deep breath, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately went to her head.

“Lian Shen has already come to the northern wilderness. 1 will wait for him at the Tiger Base.”

Su Ying understood immediately. He was preparing to leave, but for some reason, a hint of worry rose in her heart.

“Now that the Nan State has already taken down two cities of the Chu State, how confident are you in taking them back?”

Xiao Jin picked up the wine cup and placed it in her hand. “General Wei Wu is impatient and likes quick attacks. After wearing him down with two rounds of fighting, he will lose his patience. He will want even more to take down his opponent in a short period of time. The more impatient he gets, the more easily he will reveal his flaws.”

Su Ying saw that he had a plan in mind, so she didn’t ask any more questions. She raised her cup and clinked it with his. “I’ll wait for your good news.”

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes were deep and profound as he looked into Su Ying’s eyes and downed the wine in his cup.

As soon as the wine entered Su Ying’s mouth, it exuded a strong fragrance. When it pa.s.sed down her throat, the burning sensation made Su Ying’s eyes turn red-rimmed. She coughed lightly. This wine was too strong.

“What wine is this?”

“Uncle Murong’s ultimate concoction called Deep Intoxication.”

Su Ying frowned. Deep Intoxication was a bit too much for her. Even her vision had turned blurry.

Su Ying turned around and wanted to lie down on the bed for a while, but when she turned around, her forehead b.u.mped into Xiao Jin’s taut chest.

She frowned and lifted her chin slightly to look at him. “I’m dizzy. I want to sleep for a while.”

However, Xiao Jin picked her up vertically and pressed her against the wall. His warm breath, which reeked of alcohol, blew out on her forehead, causing her entire body to heat up.

“Xiao Jin, what are you doing? It’s very hot. Let go.”

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he lifted her face and looked at her, totally mesmerized. “Su Ying, what was the taste of that wine just now?”

“What kind of taste can wine have? Of course, it is… Oof…”

Su Ying abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air as the overbearing a.s.sault invaded her mouth outright. However, the aroma of the wine lingering in front of her did indeed make her feel intoxicated.

She didn’t struggle and even responded subconsciously. The alcohol had numbed her brain, so she only acted on instinct.

Xiao Jin felt her response and a glint flashed in the depths of his dark eyes. This kiss seemed to be giving vent to their emotions, and it seemed as if they were unwilling to part with each other. It was only when their hearts were beating faster and faster, so fast that Su Ying wanted to tear Xiao Jin’s clothes off, that Xiao Jin suddenly let go of her, carried her to the bed, and gently put her down.

He bent over to look at her totally flushed face and laughed out loud with delight. “Su Ying, do you want to sleep with me? ”

His voice was low, laced with lethal seductiveness .

Su Ying closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. She had indeed lost control a little just now. “You’d better come back alive. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

She opened her eyes abruptly, her eyes shockingly bright. “Otherwise, I’ll destroy the Nan State.”

“Hahahaha!” Xiao Jin laughed very loudly, and the sound from the vibration of his chest reverberated throughout the entire hall. “Alright. Wait for me.”

That night, Xiao Jin brought Jiang Yun and the rest of the troops and left via the path behind the mausoleum at the back of the palace.

The soldiers of the Nan State probably did not expect that they were only guarding a desolate emptiness after guarding for so long.

At night, the two little ones leaned into Su Ying’s arms. At this point, Xiao Jin had already left with his men.

“Mother, Father went to beat up the bad guys. When will he come back?”

“Mm-hmm. When Ling has mastered the martial-art squat, your father will be back.”

“Mother, Father will definitely come back, right?”

Su Ying patted their backs lightly but her expression was extremely determined. “Of course.”

Three days later, Lian Shen brought his men to the Tiger Base.

Xiao Jin stood on the gate wall of the Tiger Base and looked at Lian Shen approaching from afar. He then instructed someone to open the gate.

Lian Shen looked at the open gate but did not enter. Instead, he knelt down outside the gate.

“Lian Shen hereby greets Your Highness. I implore Your Highness to return and

help safeguard the territories of our Chu State..”
