The Green Guardian ignored Qiao Yang and simply walked past him to the front of the main hall.
Qiao Yang was almost done with the things at hand, so he followed Green Guardian to the main hall in case Su Ying had anything to tell him. At that point, she could just call out and he could go in at once.
In the main hall, the Green Guardian handed the letter that Lord Wang had sent over to Su Ying.
The content of the letter was broadly saying that they wanted to negotiate with Su Yings side. As they had hurt Chu Yun earlier, they wanted to send some goods as an apology.
They must have realized that Xie Rui is in our hands. They probably want to send these things to show their goodwill and pacify us.
Although Su Ying knew that the other party had a motive, she also felt it would be a waste not to take something that they were giving for free.
Tell Qiao Yang to come and see me.
The moment Green Guardian walked out of the hall, he saw Qiao Yang waiting by the door.
The City Lord wants to see you, he said without emotion.
When Qiao Yang heard this, he could not help praising himself for his own wisdom.
He walked into the main hall. City Lord, you were looking for me?
Su Ying told him about Lord Wangs letter.
When the goods are delivered, bring people to pick them up. Check them carefully. Dont let them take advantage of any oversight.
Qiao Yang was delighted. This Prince is so rich. They keep sending us those goods endlessly, wave after wave.
When they took into consideration the strength of the faction supporting Xie Rui, sending such a small quantity of goods was nothing compared to the value of Xie Ruis life.
This was also the reason Su Ying wanted to keep him.
A few days later, Lord Wang led people to deliver carriages of goods to the entrance of the northern wilderness once more.
Qiao Yang had been waiting there with his men long ago.
When he saw Lord Wang, he nudged his horse forward.
Youre finally here.
Lord Wang alighted from the horse carriage when he saw Qiao Yang.
Sorry to have kept you waiting. There was a little spring shower yesterday, so the road was not easy to travel on. Thats why we were delayed.
Qiao Yang didnt want to waste any more time talking to him, so he looked at the horse carriages behind Lord Wang.
I wont beat about the bush with you. Recently, your First Prince became attracted by the scenery of our northern wilderness. He was so happy that he didnt even think about his home. Now that our City Lord is providing him with good food and drinks, its only right that you guys send some goods to us in return.
In the past, Qiao Yang still pretended to be Xie Ruis man, but now he didnt even bother to pretend anymore.
Lord Wang knew what was going on all along. He wished badly that he could scratch Qiao Yangs smug face, but he still put a smile on his face.
Yes, but even if he is just playing outside, he still has to go home eventually, dont you think so?
Qiao Yang gave a scornful sneer. That depends on whether he wants to go back or not.
He gestured with his hand to tell the men behind him to go and inspect the goods.
Lord Wang watched as those people walked towards the horse carriages, his hands clenched tightly inside his sleeves.
I dont know what your City Lord likes, so I took the initiative to send these things over. I hope the City Lord will accept them.
Qiao Yang nudged his horse forward to come to the front of one horse carriage.
This time, the things these people sent here were food and rolls of cloth. At first glance, there was no problem.
His subordinate squatted down and checked the bottom of the carriages. After making sure that there was no problem, he nodded at Qiao Yang.
Previously, Qiao Yang was still putting on a show to get people to move the goods to his carriages. This time, he simply pulled their carriages away.
As Lord Wang looked at their departing figures, he heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he had completed what Third Master instructed him to do.
There were a lot of food supplies on the carriages. Before Qiao Yang went off, Su Ying had instructed him to put all the food supplies in the Tiger Base so that they would not have to bring food from Sky Alpha City again.
Qiao Yang hummed a tune along the way as he led the team to the Tiger Base.
When the black-robed man guarding the gate saw Qiao Yangs convoy, he went to ask the Black Guardian to come out.
The City Lord instructed us to put these goods here. Get some people to follow me to unload the goods.
The Black Guardian nodded and led the team to the warehouse.
As soon as Qiao Yang entered, quite a few nosy villagers stood not far away and watched.
Cheng Ming and Zhao Dahe had been leading the villagers of Shangyao Village to develop wasteland for the past two days. Other than the very young children and the elderly, the rest of the young labor force had to go. Thus, there were not many villagers in the Tiger Base during the day.
The convoy stopped outside the warehouse.
The Black Guardian took out a dagger from his robe and randomly cut open a sack containing grain. He then carefully checked the grain inside.
These are all fine grains. Take a good look, all of you.
The Black Guardian randomly picked a few more sacks. After making sure that there were no problems, he instructed people to move the grain sacks into the warehouse.
Qiao Yang looked at the Black Guardian who was dressed in black from head to toe and casually took two rolls of colorful cloth from the carriage and shoved them into his hands.
Look at you. If you dont smile at night, no one will be able to find you in the night. Quickly get a seamstress to make you two sets of clothes. Cant you wear something different when youre not on duty?
The Black Guardian looked at the fabric material in his hand and frowned with a troubled expression.
He didnt know when they started wearing robes of the same color. Even though Su Ying told him not to be so rigid and that he could do whatever he wanted when he wasnt on duty, he still felt comfortable wearing this black robe.
I dont want to.
The Black Guardian shoved the rolls of cloth back into Qiao Yangs hands. He frowned slightly in disdain and said, You should go. Dont get in the way.
Hah! You treat me kindness as bad intentions. If you dont want it, forget it. Qiao Yang stuffed the rolls of cloth into the carriage, turned around, and mounted his horse.
Thereafter, Qiao Yangs team pulled the rest of the goods back to the city.
There were two warehouses in the city. One was used to store food supplies, and the other was used to store other supplies.
Qiao Yang led the carriages to the second warehouse and instructed his men to unload everything from the carriages.
Manager Qiao, the goods have been unloaded. Do you want to do a stock count?
Qiao Yangs gaze fell on a certain spot. He shook his head and said, No need. Ive already counted just now. Theres no problem. Lock the door.
Yes, Sir.
The moment the warehouse door closed, the cloth bundles placed in the corner suddenly moved.
A moment later, a roll of cloth suddenly tumbled down from a high location. The light green cloth slowly rolled open, and a figure quickly got up from the ground.
As soon as she came out, there was movement in another roll of cloth again.
When she saw this, the woman stepped forward and helped to release the person inside.
There were three of them in all.
They looked around their surroundings.
Were locked in the warehouse. Theres only one door here and no other store rooms. If the door doesnt open, we wont be able to get out at all. What should we do?
After getting a good understanding of the situation they were in, one of the women posed the above question.
Find a way to get the people outside to open the door.
One woman leaned against the door and could vaguely see two people standing guard through the crack in the door.
Well take action after it gets dark.
Alright.
Night fell.
Just after the guards changed shifts, the new guards heard a slight movement coming from inside the warehouse.
The guard put his ear to the door and listened carefully. True enough, he heard movement.
Its just the beginning of spring, and those rats are already out?
Theres no food here. What are the rats doing here?
Theres some fabric that they just brought today. Dont let those rats chew on them and damage them. Open the door quickly and go in to take a look..1
