Chapter 234: The Large Troops Came Knocking

Su Ying realized that there was a big lock on the door of the medicine-production warehouse. The Orange Guardian took out the key to unlock the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong medicinal smell a.s.saulted her senses.

“City Lord, this way please.”

Su Ying walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw a large courtyard. There were many shelving racks in the courtyard, and it looked like they were usually used to dry medicinal herbs.

Behind the courtyard were various rooms. The lights in the rooms were still on. As one stood in the courtyard, one could hear the sound of tools grinding medicinal powder in the rooms.

It was already very late, but they were still working.

Su Ying didn’t enter the room to bother them. Instead, she walked to the window and looked into the room. There were about five or six people in the room, and each one was carrying out his respective task.

Su Ying then followed the Orange Guardian to the courtyard at the back. There were all sorts of pots and stoves at the back of the courtyard, and they had even set up a shed. This should be the place where the medicinal herbs were fried.

After looking around, Su Ying was very satisfied. This was a very good project for sustainable development.

“Are all the people here well-versed in medical knowledge?”

“Yes. They started learning how to read and write when they arrived on the second day. This was followed by studying medicine.”

“Who taught them?”

“A slave,” the Orange Guardian replied.

“Then who taught you?”

“The preceding Orange Guardian.”

Su Ying walked around the medicine-production warehouse to roughly understand how the whole place operated before returning to the palace.

At this point, the two children had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Jin was still waiting for her in the inner chamber.

After Su Ying washed up briefly, she instinctively walked to the bed and prepared to sleep. However, she felt that something was not quite right.

She turned to look at Xiao Jin, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, and finally discovered the thing that was not quite right.

Although they had slept in the same room back in the Tiger Base, they both had their own beds. Now that there were so many chambers in the palace, surely there was no need for him to squeeze into the same room as her.

“Why are you reading so late at night? Aren’t you afraid of going blind? Go back to sleep,” Su Ying reminded him, hinting to him to leave on his own.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin closed the book in his hand and placed it on the bookshelf. Then, he returned to Su Ying’s bed and sat down.

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “This is my bed.”

Xiao Jin didn’t even raise his head as he collapsed on the bed, looking like he didn’t plan to leave.

Hmph!

She only managed to get a small bed with much difficulty for the two little ones to sleep beside her so that she could sleep on the big bed alone. How could she let Xiao Jin occupy it?

“Getup!”

Su Ying tugged at his arm.

Xiao Jin opened his eyes lazily. His dark eyes twinkled with an alluring sparkle. “When you were sick, you hugged me and refused to let go. You want to throw me away after you are done?”

Su Ying frowned. “I don’t remember.”

“It’s the truth whether you remember or not.”

“Are you getting up or not?”

Su Ying had already lost her patience.

“Not… getting… up.”

The corner of Su Ying’s eyes twitched. With a strong yank of her arms, she pulled Xiao Jin up from the bed.

“Get out!”

However, the moment Su Ying relaxed her grip, Xiao Jin suddenly grabbed her wrist and flipped her over with a bear hug, pinning her under his body.

Before Su Ying had a chance to fight back, he plunged his lips onto hers.

Su Ying’s heart thumped violently. Had this rascal gotten addicted to ambus.h.i.+ng her?

Su Ying opened her mouth and bit down, but Xiao Jin was very cunning. As soon as she bit down, he propped himself up and dodged.

“Xiao Jin, you rascal! You’re asking for a beating!” Su Ying jumped up from the bed and flung a pillow at him.

Xiao Jin twisted his body sideways and intercepted the pillow. He then turned around to lie down on the soft couch. “Forget it. Since you want me to sleep on the couch, 1’11 oblige you.”

Su Ying was dumbstruck.

“I’m asking you to get out.”

“I don’t feel at ease without the children by my side.” Before Xiao Jin finished speaking, he had already covered himself well with the blanket.

Su Ying really wanted to throw him out, but when she thought about how he had stayed by her side to take care of her while she was unconscious, she held back.

Anyway, the bed was hers!

Su Ying covered the illuminating pearls with a cloth, returned to her bed, and lay down.

When he sensed that her breathing rate had gradually become even, Xiao Jin opened two eyes and stroked his lips with his fingers. It seemed that her soft, fragrant breath was still lingering there.

“Su Ying, you can’t escape,” he thought.

The night in the northern wilderness was always darker than in other places because the dense forest of trees here blocked almost all the moonlight.

A group of people felt their way through the dense forest in the dark. When he looked at the road ahead which had no trace of light, the leader could not help but feel a little uncertain.

“Leader, why don’t we find a place to rest for a while and set off again when at dawn?”

The leader nodded. “Mm-hmm. Bring a few people to look for a place with a clear view and let everyone take a break.”

“Alright.”

Several people in the team held torches and headed toward the front of the forest.

The sky gradually turned white, and the daylight also lit up the dark earth.

As Su Ying had brought people from other districts to Sky Alpha City, the North District had arranged for new people to guard the base camp’s gate.

Meng Zi temporarily put Zhou Xing in charge of this area. After all, he had been guarding the entrance of the North District previously.

Zhou Xing had come over early in the morning to take over from the previous s.h.i.+ft. He walked up to the gate wall and took out a pair of binoculars to take a look. These binoculars were left behind by Su Ying. With the binoculars in hand, they could quickly grasp the situation outside.

Just as Zhou Xing was doing his routine patrol, he suddenly noticed a large group of people coming in their direction.

Zhou Xing immediately became wary. “Everyone, be on your guard. Someone is coming.”

When the guards heard this, they went into a state of high alert. The Tiger Base had just been handed over to them, and they could not afford to make any mistakes.

Soon, the group of people walked into the defensive array formation outside the gate.

As there were many people, the moment they entered the array formation, they felt that the entire array formation was packed.

Zhou Xing furrowed his brows and gripped the saber in his hand tightly. He didn’t know if the array formation could stop these people.

“Go. Send a message to Uncle Meng and the others. Tell them that a large group of people has arrived outside the Tiger Base. Ask him how we should deal with them.”

“Yes, Sir.”

When those people first entered the array formation, they did not notice anything strange. However, after circling a few times, they finally realized that something was wrong.

“Did we get hoodwinked by ghosts?”

The leader’s face also clouded over. “Tell everyone to stay where they are. I’ll go take a look.”

“You have to be careful.”

Jiang Yun nodded and slowly walked forward.

This time, it was different from before. He observed his surroundings with every step he took. After walking a few rounds, he finally understood and returned to the place where the team stopped. “It’s a Delusional Array Formation.”

“Delusional Array Formation? Could it be His Highness set this up?”

Jiang Yun couldn’t be sure. After all, there were all kinds of people in the northern wilderness. Who could guarantee that this array formation was set up by Xiao Jin?

“Big Brother Jiang, why don’t we wait for Lin Kun and the others to come over? Otherwise, if we simply search blindly, it’ll be hard for us to locate His Highness.”

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and nodded. “I’ve already left a message for Lin Kun, but he hasn’t replied yet. There are so many mouths to feed here, and it’s freezing outside.. If we don’t take the initiative to look for His Highness and there is no response from Lin Kun for a long time, won’t we freeze to death in this world of ice and snow?”
