Chapter 174: You Delivered Yourself to Me
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“But don’t worry, Madam Su. There’s a place to rent carriages here. I’ve already sent someone to rent 20 carriages for transporting goods. The carriages for transporting goods are all much bigger, and each carriage can carry more.”
Su Ying didn’t expect Zhang Liang to be so thoughtful. “Thank you.”
“You are most welcome, Madam Su. I will always remember your kindness to our family.”
Su Ying looked at Zhang Liang’s sincere gaze and knew that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
“Will you still come here to collect charcoal in the future?”
“I will come, but there is a limited period to sell charcoal. After winter, it won’t be so easy to sell. The coldest period in the Chu State during winter is only two months. I will only accept the goods until the end of December. As long as Madam Su has more charcoal, feel free to bring it to me. The price is negotiable.”
Su Ying could still sell charcoal for another month, so it was good.
“Alright.”
“I’ll be here until the end of December. I’ll give you an address, Madam Su. If you want to look for me, just get someone to leave a message at that address.” Zhang Liang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Su Ying.
Su Ying took the paper and unfolded it. There was an address written inside. “Okay.”
The carriages that Zhang Liang rented arrived very quickly. He instructed everyone to move all the rice and flour sacks onto them.
The rented carriages were clearly used to transport goods. The body of the carriage was much bigger than theirs. The two horses pulling the carriages were obviously in their prime when they were able to give the greatest power.
While the staff were busy loading, Zhang Liang brought Su Ying to buy other things. Su Ying counted the remaining gold in her hands and went to the livestock stall to buy all the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, and goats.
By the time Su Ying emerged with a flock of chickens, ducks, cows, and goats, the scene was spectacular, successfully attracting the shocked gazes of all the passersby.
Zhang Liang didn’t expect Su Ying to spend so much. Although there weren’t many livestock in the stall, Su Ying was the first person to buy all of them in one go!
Su Ying bought so many because she felt that livestock could be raised on a large scale. Once they bred more offspring, the people in the Tiger Base would be able to enjoy eating meat more freely.
After everything was prepared, Zhang Liang led 30 carriages in front, while Su Ying followed at the back, driving the pigs, cows, and goats toward the pass.
Along the way, the rowdy noise from the pigs, goats, cows, chickens, and ducks could be heard.
As they neared the pass, Su Ying hid under the carriage as usual. Although the inspection wasn’t as strict on the way out, they were transporting so many things, so the officers would still check their border pass exit documents.
After noon time, the team finally came through the pass successfully.
Tiger Might, who had been waiting outside the pass, was stunned when he saw Su Ying arriving with a herd of livestock and a small leather whip in her hand, riding on the back of a cow in an impressive manner!
He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, so he rubbed his eyes vehemently. When he had confirmed that the person sitting on the cow’s back was Su Ying, his face was still filled with shock.
Tiger Might only came back to his senses when some duck feathers flew into his mouth and he spat them out in disgust.
“Madam Su, did you… rob the stall?”
Su Ying got off the cow and raised her eyebrows as she said, “Watch your words. I bought them fair and square.”
“You bought so many…”
“That’s right. I bought them all. Take this. You can drive them later.” Su Ying threw the small leather whip into Tiger Might’s hands.
Zhang Liang alighted from the carriage. “Madam Su, I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
“We must thank you for your help this time, Old Master Zhang. Otherwise, the charcoal wouldn’t have been sold so smoothly,” Su Ying said gratefully.
“Don’t mention it, Madam Su. As long as you have more stock, feel free to bring it to me.”
“Alright.”
After Zhang Liang bade Su Ying farewell, the rented coachman would help Su Ying’s group deliver the goods to their destination.
“Madam Su, it’s not safe to spend the night outside with so much grain. We should go back as soon as possible.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Su Ying mounted her horse and continued to bring up the rear of the group. Tiger Might ordered his men to drive the herd of livestock up front.
The trading went smoothly and there was enough grain. Everyone was in a good mood when they embarked on their return journey.
Before long, Su Ying saw a group of people galloping toward them. The group was led by riders who cleared the path ahead, and in the middle were guards protecting a large vermilion horse carriage. Behind them were guards armed with sabers, and it was obvious that they were very powerful.
In order to avoid running into the other party, Tiger Might had his men drive the chickens and ducks to the side and made the team stop temporarily to let that group pass first.
However, the other party did not seem to care about other people’s lives at all. That group simply charged straight at them and startled the cattle and goats in the team.
The cattle and goats rushed into the other party’s retinue in a panic and collided with the guards who were leading the way on horseback.
As the other party was going too fast, the people behind the team could not stop in time. Following the chain collision, the team instantly became chaotic.
Fortunately, the coachman pulled the carriage to the other side in time to avoid the collision.
The guards who had been knocked down also got up from the ground while wailing. The leader of the guards walked over in a rage and did not give anyone a chance to react. He pulled out the saber at his waist and chopped off the head of a goat.
The goat didn’t even have the time to scream before its short life as a goat was terminated.
The goat’s head rolled to Su Ying’s feet as she dismounted.
Su Ying looked at the goat that had died with its eyes wide open, and the veins on her forehead throbbed vigorously.
If she remembered correctly, this goat was still pregnant with a lamb cub!
“Where did this rootless bastard come from? You’re courting death!” The guard was still not satisfied after killing a goat, and he swung his saber at the cow in front of him.
Su Ying exhaled lightly, picked up a rock from the ground, and shot it viciously at the guard’s hand.
Smack! A wretched scream could be heard as a gory, bloody hole was smashed through the guard’s palm!
He looked at the hole in his palm with trembling hands and screamed in horror.
When they heard him, the others all walked over to check on the guard’s injuries, staring warily at Su Ying and the others.
“Who are you guys?”
Tiger Might walked out with an ominous expression. “You don’t need to know who we are. But if you don’t pay us back today for these livestock, we won’t let this matter rest.”
The other party swept his gaze over their group, and his expression turned even more icy. “How dare you attack the retinue of the Chu State’s First Prince? Capture these people!”
Su Ying’s expression froze. What did he say? The Chu State’s First Prince?
She turned to look at the vermilion carriage near her. The cold wind lifted the curtain, allowing her to see half of the face of the person sitting in the carriage.
That face gradually overlapped with the person in her memory. There was no doubt about it. It was that bastard, Xiao Jue.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes and slowly took out an electric baton that was only as thick as a thumb.
“Xiao Jue, oh Xiao Jue, you delivered yourself to me. You can’t blame me now,” she thought.
Su Ying swung the electric baton in her hand and charged toward the carriage.
When the guards saw Su Ying suddenly rushing toward the carriage, they couldn’t be bothered with Tiger Might and the others and hurriedly turned around and ran toward the carriage.
Xiao Jue sat in the carriage with a long face and was deep in thought. Suddenly, he felt a strong killing intent approaching him. When he turned around, he saw a face he hated to the core through the gap in the curtain that had been lifted by the wind..
