Chapter 443: Not An Enemy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Qing searched the entire room once but couldn’t find Su Ying.

That guy was really gone!

She couldn’t believe it.

Could it be that she had been drugged halfway and had not realized it?

Zhou Qing felt that this was unlikely because she clearly remembered that she had heard the sound of the night watch strike three times at midnight, which proved that she had been awake during this period of time.

However, how could a person simply disappear into thin air?

Zhou Qing couldn’t understand, and she didn’t have time to think about it. She rummaged through the guest room to look for her key, but she couldn’t find it. Su Ying probably wouldn’t have left something so important behind.

Zhou Qing’s expression turned unpleasant. After thinking over this, she turned around and quickly jumped out of the guest room.

No matter what, she had to flee first.

At dawn, Su Ying woke up in her interspatial store and stretched lazily before coming out.

She lifted the bed curtain. When she saw the empty guest room, she was not surprised at all.

The reason she didn’t tie Zhou Qing up last night was to give her a chance to escape. She needed to confirm if what the woman told her was true.

After the woman escaped, she would definitely look for her contact point in the Jin State as soon as possible.

Su Ying took out her tracking device. After turning it on and scanning around for a while, a red dot appeared on the screen. This was the location indicator she had placed on Zhou Qing yesterday.

Su Ying looked at the distance shown by the red dot. She should still be within the border city.

Judging from the red dot’s movement, she had not left this place for the past fifteen minutes that Su Ying was observing her.

If Su Ying’s guess was correct, she must have gone to her contact point.

Su Ying went out of the inn with the device in her hand and headed in the direction of the red dot’s location.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was pacing back and forth anxiously in an inconspicuous house in the border city.

“I went to the storage pavilion early in the morning to confirm. The locker where I hid the item was empty. The item has already been taken away by someone. It must be that man!”

The people in the storage pavilion would not easily reveal the owner’s items, but if the locker was empty, they would hang the key of that locker outside and make it available for customers who wanted to store items to choose.

When Zhou Qing arrived, she saw that her key was already hanging outside, which meant that someone had already taken out the item inside.

Zhou Qing didn’t think about how she would be punished. Instead, she was worried about Su Ying’s identity. This was what scared her the most.

“You’re too careless. We can’t let anyone else lay their hands on this thing. Where is he? We have to look for this person immediately.” The man in the room looked very stern.

Zhou Qing said with a pale face, “Even you and I combined aren’t his match. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to snatch it from him by force.”

She couldn’t understand why Su Ying was so unworried about her and allowed her to leave so easily. She was now a little worried that this was a trap. If they went back, they might fall into Su Ying’s trap.

“I don’t understand. Why did he want me to send that kind of message to the capital? What does this matter have to do with the Empress?” This was also the point that Zhou Qing couldn’t figure out.

After listening to her, the man replied, “You’ve been in the Jin State all this time, so you don’t know what happened in the Chu State. In order to save the people of Jing Prefecture, the Empress blocked the crack in the dam with her own effort. However, she was swept away by the flood waters. It has been two to three months since the incident, but the Emperor has not been willing to mourn for the Empress. He is adamant that the Empress must still be alive, and has even sent countless people to various places to search for the Empress.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing was extremely shocked. She did not expect such a major event to happen in the Chu State during this period of time.

Was there any chance of survival for someone who fell into the flash floodwaters?

Zhou Qing felt that it was impossible for the person to still be alive. The Empress was already dead, yet that man wanted her to pass such a message to the Emperor. Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to murder the Emperor?

This time, Zhou Qing was certain that Su Ying was her enemy.

“Now that the military defense formation map is in his hands, we don’t know what he’ll do with it. But no matter what, we have to find a way to get the military defense formation map back. Also, send a message now. Say that the news I sent out earlier was coerced and that I have no news of the Empress at all.”

The man nodded when he heard her. “Alright. I understand.”

Zhou Qing clenched her fists. “No matter what happens, we must not let the Emperor be harmed.”

The man finished writing the letter and was going to summon a carrier pigeon to send it out. When he opened the door, he backed away in shock.

“Who are you!”

Zhou Qing was startled. She quickly turned around and saw Su Ying leaning against the door.

When their gazes met, Su Ying slowly straightened her body and asked, “Are you guys done?”

The expressions of the man and woman changed at once. They hadn’t noticed Su Ying’s presence outside the door at all. How long had she been outside, and how much had she eavesdropped?

Zhou Qing’s face was livid. “Who exactly are you?”

Su Ying had already heard everything from outside the door and was certain of their identities. They were indeed working for Xiao Jin, but she did not intend to reveal her identity for the time being. After all, even if she told them, the possibility of them believing her was not high.

“I’m not your enemy.”

All the nerves in those two people tensed up. No matter what Su Ying’s goal was, she knew too much. Today, either she died or they died!

Zhou Qing grabbed a stool and smashed it at Su Ying.

However, the instant she moved, she saw Su Ying raise her hand and snap her fingers. A moment later, she fell to the ground with her whole body in pain.

“Argh!”

Su Ying’s eyes turned to the man. Zhou Qing’s sudden predicament shocked the man. He drew his sword and stepped forward to fight Su Ying, but not surprisingly, he was no match for her.

After exchanging a dozen blows, the man was thrown into the courtyard by Su Ying.

The man got up and tried to run, but was immediately knocked out by Su Ying’s tranquilizer dart.

Su Ying snapped her fingers, and Zhou Qing felt the pain in her body slowly fade away.

She lay limply on the ground and finally understood why Su Ying was so confident that she didn’t even tie her up. It turned out that Su Ying had already drugged her long ago, and was certain that she wouldn’t be able to escape at all.

Su Ying lifted the two of them to a stool and tied them up. Thereafter, she began to search for something in the room.

“Is this your usual spot to contact each other?”

Zhou Qing glared viciously at Su Ying. “If you want to kill me, then do it!”

Su Ying gave a sneer. “Killing you is too easy.” As she spoke, she strolled out of the house. When she came to the backyard, she found a few pigeons being kept in the back shed. They were probably the carrier pigeons.

In a study room, she found a secret compartment. In the secret compartment, she found the letters they had exchanged with the Chu State when they were active in the Jin State. They were indeed working as spies in the Jin State. Moreover, they had always been Xiao Jin’s people and not the people of the Imperial Family of the Chu State. It was only after Xiao Jin ascended the throne that they became spies for the Imperial Family of the Chu State.

After confirming their identities, Su Ying returned to the first house.

However, the moment she stepped into the house, she was just in time to see someone swinging a sword at those two people..
