Chapter 136:1 Saw Them Kissing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tiger Might’s eyebrows twitched abruptly. “What do you mean you can’t buy anymore?”

...

Qiang Zi’s sparse eyebrows were tightly knitted. “I don’t know what’s going on either. Today, I contacted the merchants who used to trade with us. He said that the border control is very strict now and the authorities don’t want the merchants to sell their grain anymore, so they won’t be able to provide us with grain during this period.”

“What about the other things? You can’t buy them as well?”

Qiang Zi nodded.

Tiger Might’s face darkened. “Which state?”

“The Chu State.”

The Chu State was the closest state to them among the three surrounding states. They also had business partners with the other two states, but they had to travel further.

“Send someone to other states to ask if we can still buy from them.”

“I’ve already asked. Those two states have also sealed their borders. Everyone is only allowed to leave and not enter. Horse carriages are even prohibited from entering and leaving. We can’t buy anything now.”

When he heard these words, Tiger Might’s expression became even more unpleasant.

“How long will the grain in our warehouse last?”

“It can last two months, but Leader, don’t forget that we have to hand over the grain in December. Once we hand over the grain, we won’t be able to last for three days, let alone two months.”

Tiger Might’s eyes changed slightly. He had completely forgotten about this.

“Go and ask around nearby. See if you can buy as much grain as possible.”

“Yes, I will try my best to find out.”

This was the only way out for now.

After Qiang Zi left, Tiger Might’s face was still glum.

“Big Brother, we still have to hand over our grain to those people. Why don’t we not hand it over this year?”

Tiger Might returned to his senses and glared at him. “Do you think I want to hand it over? Our people risked their lives for that grain. But if I don’t hand it over, haven’t you seen how terrifying those people are? Even when the Venom Cult was still around, they had to submit to them too. We can’t even defeat the Venom Cult, so how can we defeat those people?”

“We have Madam Su now!”

Tiger Might admitted that Su Ying was very powerful, but no matter how powerful she was, she was only one person.

“If you don’t want her to die in their hands, then don’t say such stupid things again.”

Qiao Yang’s eyes met the stern look in Tiger Might’s eyes and he didn’t say anything more.

Not being able to buy food not only bothered the Tiger Might, but even the Azure Dragon Base had fallen into a much gloomier atmosphere.

“Leader, what should we do? I don’t know what’s wrong with those states. They suddenly stopped buying and selling at the border.”

Wu Feng’s face clouded over. “Continue to send people to look around and try to buy as much grain as possible.”

“Yes, Sir.”

After the messenger left, the other commanders spoke up.

“Leader, if we can’t buy it, we have to make other plans.”

“That’s right. Our grain stocks must have been stolen by the Tiger Base. We’ll kill our way into their warehouse and empty it. That way, we’ll have our grain stocks.”

“But that woman is guarding the Tiger Base. We might not be able to succeed.”

“Then let’s get rid of that woman before we do anything.”

“How do we do that?”

Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke. He was the youngest of the twelve commanders, Yu Tong.

He had a thin, pale face and a skinny and weak figure. At first glance, he looked like a weak scholar without even the strength to truss a chicken. No one could have imagined that he had taken more lives than the number of books he read.

“We’ve all experienced that woman’s ability. If we want to defeat her face to face, even if we can win, we’ll have to pay a great price. So, just like what the Leader said, we can only use our wits. These few days, I’ve been mulling over a method.”

“What method?” Wu Feng asked.

A trace of viciousness flashed across Yu Tong’s eyes. “The so-called ‘Catch a turtle in a jar’.”

Yu Tong spoke slowly and explained his plan. After Wu Feng and the others heard it, they felt that it was highly feasible, but they had to make comprehensive arrangements.

“What do you think, Leader?” After a round of discussion, Yu Tong deferred to Wu Feng to make the final decision.

Wu Feng furrowed his brows tightly. If it was just for the sake of venting Azure Dragon Base’s anger, they could find a suitable opportunity to do so at any time. However, they were in a hurry to get their grain stocks back and could not delay any longer.

“Fine. Let’s do it this way. You guys make the arrangements carefully. We can’t let the Tiger Base catch on to what we are doing. We have to win this round!”

“Yes, Sir.”

The first thing Su Ying did when she returned was to check on the charcoal pit.

Tian Mu had been keeping watch there the entire day.

“How is it?”

“The fire is still burning inside. I’ve already covered the opening, leaving only an air vent.”

There was only one vent in the pit, and he couldn’t see what was inside clearly. He could only wait a few days before opening it up to check.

“Alright. Come back and see if the fire has died out before you go to bed. If there are no problems, come back tomorrow morning. Go back first.”

“Ah, okay.”

At night, after they had their fill of food, Su Ying carried the younger toddler Ling to the bathroom to take a bath.

“Mother, do you not like Father?”

Su Ying’s expression froze, and she secretly blamed Xiao Jin for teaching the child some trashy nonsense again.

“Why do you ask, Ling?”

Ling puffed up her increasingly chubby little face and said, “Mother doesn’t even give Father any kiss.”

Kiss Xiao Jin?

Su Ying imagined the scene…

She didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly beat faster.

Su Ying subconsciously clutched her chest. What was going on? Was she so tired that she was suffering from arrhythmia?

“Adults can’t kiss so casually,” Su Ying replied very carelessly.

Ling tilted her head and said, “They can’t? But I saw Uncle Jiang and Concubine Lin kissing today. They’re also adults, so how come they can kiss?”

Su Ying’s eyes widened, and she seemed to see a cuckoo bird forming above Xiao Jin’s head.

“Uncle Jiang and Concubine Lin are kissing? Ling, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

The younger toddler Ling seemed to be trying her best to prove that she was not lying. She blinked her large eyes furiously and said, “No, I am not. It was really like this today. They really kissed!”

Ling insisted in a childish voice. She even pounced into Su Ying’s arms and imitated the kissing action for her.

Su Ying’s dormant gossipy genes started working themselves into a frenzy. “Ling, don’t tell your father about this.”

The clueless and adorable Ling looked very puzzled. “Why?”

“Your father will cry if he knows.

“Alright, be good. You can’t go wrong listening to Mother.”

Although Ling did not understand, she still nodded obediently and said, “I won’t tell Father.”

“Good!” This was because Su Ying wanted to tell Xiao Jin personally!

She desperately wanted to know how he would react when he found out his concubine cheated on him!

When Su Ying came out of the bathroom with Ling in her arms, she saw two figures standing in a dark corner of the backyard. She focused her eyes on them. They were Lin Zhuyu and Jiang Yang, the very people who had turned Xiao Jin into a cuckold!

Su Ying silently covered Ling’s mouth and returned to the bathroom..
