Only being buried in the secret passage could explain why they couldn’t find him. However, Su Qing suspected that Qiu Yongkang would not die so easily.

Su Qing led her troops to chase after Qiu Yongkang, while Xiao Zeyu led his troops to wipe out all the armed forces in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Now that the Northern Barbarian Kingdom had been subdued, they needed to leave a portion of the Xiao Family Army to manage it. Xiao Zeyu thought of Jiang Laoqi. He had the courage and resourcefulness to be the Northern Barbarian Kingdom’s City Lord. This could be considered a benefit that Xiao Zeyu had brought to his brothers.

Xiao Zeyu ordered people to load all the gold and silver treasures in the palace back to Mo City. The provisions were also confiscated for the Xiao family to use. The Northern Barbarian soldiers were all disbanded, and their weapons were confiscated. Even the herdsmen were not allowed to have weapons. After all this, the Northern Barbarians were like tigers whose teeth had been knocked out. They could no longer pose a threat to Mo City.

When Su Qing rushed back, Jiang Laoqi had also just arrived. When he heard that his good brother wanted to hand over the management of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom to him, Jiang Laoqi was overwhelmed by his favor and excitedly made a promise to Xiao Zeyu.

“Shuisheng, thank you. I’ll manage Northern Barbarian City well.”

Among his brothers, only Li Daniu didn’t have much ambition. He just wanted to lead a good life for his family. However, Seventh Brother Jiang was different. He wanted to make a name for himself. He didn’t want to live a mediocre life.

The Northern Barbarians were not considered significant. Their territory was only the size of Mo City and Jingshi Dao combined. Moreover, the herdsmen were scattered. Other than the grasslands, they did not have any crops. However, the nomadic industry was developed, and they were self-sufficient.

Shuisheng was going to do great things in the future. He needed warhorses in battle. If he had helped him train and raise warhorses in the Northern Barbarians. It could be considered as a contribution.

Now, he was helping Shuisheng manage the Northern Barbarians. As long as he managed them well, he could be at ease when Shuisheng conquered cities in the future. He could help Shuisheng and bring honor to his ancestors. This was Jiang Laoqi’s dream.

“Old Seven, you should learn the Northern Barbarian language immediately. I will transfer Wuna Ziyan to you. He is proficient in the Northern Barbarian language and can be your translator.”

Xiao Zeyu found a translator for Jiang Laoqi. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to speak the same language. Jiang Laoqi nodded vigorously.

“Shuisheng, don’t worry. I will learn the Northern Barbarian Language.”

Because they had just taken down the Northern Barbarians, Xiao Zeyu had left a thousand elite soldiers for Jiang Laoqi to ensure their safety. Only then did he rush to Mo City with Su Qing and his bodyguards.

On the way, Xiao Zeyu finally had the chance to ask Su Qing,

“Qing’er, you didn’t manage to get Qiu Yongkang?”

“No, he’s probably buried in the secret passage.”

Su Qing shook her head. After she returned, she did not give up and went to the secret passage again. Judging by the degree of collapse, the people inside could not survive. Qiu Yongkang should have gone to see the King of Hell this time.

“He deserved it.”

Xiao Zeyu’s eyes didn’t have the slightest bit of sadness. Qiu Yongkang’s actions had long worn away the brotherhood they had in the past. It was a pity he couldn’t bring him to his godmother’s grave to apologize.

The husband and wife arrived at the border of the Northern Barbarians. Yelu Chun had led his troops to guard the area. He had captured many of the Northern Barbarian soldiers who had escaped. Those who resisted were all killed. This could be considered helping Xiao Zeyu block the fish that had escaped the net.

Su Qing looked at the Northern Barbarian soldiers that she had captured. She did not miss one of them to check if Qiu Yong Kang was among them. Unfortunately, Qiu Yongkang was not among them.

“Third Prince, thank you for your hard work.”

Xiao Zeyu cupped his fists towards Yelu Chun to thank him. He was still starving and had to endure the northwest wind for the entire night at the border. He owed him a huge favor.

Yelu Chun’s face turned red from the cold. Hearing Xiao Zeyu’s words, he laughed loudly,

“Brother Xiao, you don’t have to be so polite.”

He wanted to say that he would marry his sister to him and that he didn’t need to repay him with anything else. However, he didn’t dare to say this and only dared to mention drinking.

Speaking of drinking, Yelu Chun looked at Su Qing.

“Sister-in-law, you haven’t been able to supply wine recently.”

The wine that Luan Hong brewed in Jingshi Dao was only enough to be sold in Jingshi Dao, and there was no excess to send to Tartan.

Su Qing stopped working in the winery in Mo City after a few days. The wine she brewed was not enough for his uncle’s master to drink, so naturally, there was no excess wine to send to Tartan.

This was the Third Prince’s most profitable business. He could see that he could earn a lot of money daily, but because the supply could not keep up, he could only watch as the money could not be earned. He was anxious!

“Okay, okay, I remember.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Su Qing felt a little guilty. She had wasted her time on the war business. It was time to pick it up and continue. Although she was not short of money, was she afraid of money biting her hand?

“Sister-in-law Xiao Wang knows that you and Brother Xiao are too busy. You don’t have to do the transportation in the future. I’ll send someone to pick up the wine every three days.”

Yelu Chun followed up with this. I don’t need you to deliver the goods; I’ll send someone to get them myself.

“That’s good.”

It was great that there was no need to deliver goods. The reduced manpower could be added to the army. Su Qing naturally agreed to this good thing.

After the war, celebratory wine had to be arranged. They had not eaten at Aunt Li’s house yesterday, so they invited Yelu Chun to the government office today. When Zhong Yong was not around, they asked Li Daniu to bring a dozen soldiers to fish in the river.

There was strength in numbers. This time, they brought back more than ten big fish. Su Qing used three big pots to stew the fish.

In one of the big pots was a fish pot. The fresh and tender fish meat was mixed with fungus and cabbage as a side dish. It was spicy and delicious. It could make one sweat in the middle of winter.

The remaining two pots were made with braised fish and potatoes. Not only did they stew the fish, but they also killed ten sheep. They made braised mutton and steamed big buns for the soldiers brought by Yelu Chun. These were for the soldiers who were happy to eat fresh fish in the middle of winter. They did not even find the mutton fragrant and stared at the fish. There was not even soup left in the two pots of fish meat.

After killing the sheep, she left a few lamb legs and chops. She made a lamb scorpion hotpot with the spine of the sheep. The lamb legs and chops were all roasted on the rack, filling the courtyard with the fragrance of meat.

Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er were responsible for grilling the lamb legs and chops. The flames had caused their little faces to turn red. Jiang Yuyan’s neck was wrapped in a white cotton cloth. Her injuries had yet to recover, but she had also come to help. Her family could not stop her.

She hadn’t seen Big Brother Zhong since yesterday. She heard that he had gone with the Young Master to attack the Northern Barbarians. Jiang Yuyan was so worried that she couldn’t sleep last night. Now, she was working with dark circles under her eyes.

“Sister Yuyan, you should go back quickly. Don’t freeze your wound again.”

Xiaoying was worried about Jiang Yuyan’s wound and advised her to return. However, Jiang Yuyan acted as if she didn’t hear her and kept her eyes on the back hall of the government office.

“Sister Yuyan, what are you looking at?”

Xiaoying curiously followed Jiang Yuyan’s line of sight. Other than a few soldiers guarding the door, there was nothing?

“Why don’t I see Big Brother Zhong?”

Jiang Yuyan asked Xiaoying with a red face. Xiaoying then realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yuyan and teased her,

“Sister Yuyan, why didn’t you ask about your big brother? Why did you only ask for Big Brother Zhong?”

“I want to thank him for saving me yesterday.”

Jiang Yuyan’s face turned even redder from Xiaoying’s mischievous smile. She didn’t dare to look at her at all.

“Big Brother Zhong stayed in the Northern Barbarians to help your big brother. My big brother feared it was unsafe, so he asked him to protect your big brother.”

Seeing that Jiang Yuyan wanted to thank Zhong Yong, Xiaoying stopped teasing her and told Jiang Yuyan about Zhong Yong staying in the Northern Barbarians.

Jiang Yuyan felt lost.. ‘Big Brother Zhong stayed in the Northern Barbarians? When would he be able to come back and propose marriage to her parents? Or had he forgotten about it?’
