“My letter?”

Su Qing’s eyes flashed. Could it be that her parents had written a letter to her? Warmth rose in her heart, and she couldn’t wait to see it.

“Second Master Su asked me to give it to you. I don’t know what it says.”

With a smile, Yang Zhi took a sealed letter from his chest pocket. Second Master Su had asked him to hand the letter to Miss Su personally, although Yang Zhi was curious why Second Master Su would write to Su Qing alone.

Second Master only asked him to see if Miss Su was there when he arrived at Jingshi Road. If she were there, he would give her the letter. If not, he should bring the letter back.

Although Yang Zhi and Su Hanxuan were friends, there were secrets between friends. If Second Master didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t ask. He had to deliver the letter safely and complete Second Master’s instructions.

“Thank you.”

Su Qing nodded to express her gratitude. She didn’t open the letter immediately. She wanted to read it when she returned, and no one was around.

“Boss Yang, I also have a letter of trust for you to pass to Second Master Su. Tell him I’m fine and that the thousand-year-old Lingzhi has already been found.”

Su Qing took out the letter she had written to her parents. She had already sealed the envelope with red wax. Even if she didn’t seal it, she believed Yang Zhi wouldn’t peek at it.

“Alright.”

Yang took the letter and carefully put it away. He still did not ask about the thousand-year-old Lingzhi.

Su Qing saw Yang put away the letter and said to him,

“Boss Yang, I hope you can open a branch of the escort agency in Mo City.”

“Why?”

Yang Zhi asked Su Qing curiously. There weren’t many shops in Mo City, and he ran an escort agency here.

“1 want to purchase leather, cattle, and sheep from Tartan. I also want to open a cloth shop in Mo City.”

Su Qing told Yang Zhi about her idea. This way, Yang Zhi would not be empty-handed. He would bring the leather goods and cattle to Luo City and then sell the cloth from her father’s shop to the Tartans. He would earn double the money.

“Young lady, you are very bold. However, Mo City is in chaos now. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to return if you go to Tartan to do business?”

Yang Zhi praised Su Qing, but he still felt that it was not reliable. He was afraid that he would not be able to return alive. Was he going to Tartan to buy leather goods and cattle?

As for opening a cloth shop in Mo City? He also felt that it was unrealistic. Now that the people of Mo City had run away, who would he sell the cloth to?

“You must stay here a few days and help me escort the dart back.”

Su Qing didn’t explain. It was useless to talk about it. What she needed to do now was to immediately dig for coal and bring it to Tartan to exchange for leather.

“Alright.”

Yang Zhi looked at the confidence in Su Qing’s eyes and inexplicably wanted to believe her for once. It was a few days anyway and wouldn’t take too long.

After leaving Yang Zhi’s place, Su Qing went to the Qiu Family to look for Qiu Yongkang.

When Su Qing arrived at the Qiu Family, Qiu Yongkang had just left his house. He had a lot of things to do in a day. He had to help the garrison in the city to strengthen the city’s defense, and he also had to take care of the food and drink of the people in Peach Blossom Cove. There were always things that he could not finish from morning till night.

Today, his mother talked about Qiu Yue again. She said she dreamed of Qiu Yue asking her mother to save her.

Qiu Yongkang was in a bad mood as the image of his sister’s incomplete body appeared in his mind. He was afraid that he would reveal his emotions in front of his mother, so he didn’t even eat dinner. He found an excuse and came out.

When he saw Su Qing, Qiu Yongkang was stunned for a moment. He stood there and looked at Su Qing without saying a word. Every time he looked at Su Qing, he would think of the scene of her hanging his sister to death. Now, he would think of his sister’s terrifying corpse.

Qiu Yongkang adjusted his emotions and asked Su Qing,

“Su Qing, is there something you need from me?”

“Something came up.”

Su Qing nodded and got straight to the point.

“I’m going to take people to dig coal. Tell Shuisheng when he comes back.”

“Mining coal? Don’t we have enough coal?”

Qiu Yongkang felt that Su Qing was taking too much of a risk. Now that the Tartan soldiers were causing such a stir outside, she still had to go out and run around.

“I have a use for it. 1’11 leave tonight.”

Su Qing was swift and decisive in her work. She could leave Mo City daily and make a round trip in three days. It would not delay her five-day appointment with the Third Prince. She could reach Five Deer Mountain during the day and return at night after mining the coal.

“Alright.”

Qiu Yongkang nodded. He was used to Su Qing never explaining her actions to others. He was doing it for the good of everyone.

“Yang has sent the goods over. How do we settle the payment?”

Qiu Yongkang had already spent all his money to buy food and still owed Yang Zhi half the money for the escort. He didn’t know how to pay it back. He discussed it with Su Qing because he knew that Su Qing had money.

He would borrow it for emergencies first and return it to her when he earned money.

“I have some here.”

Su Qing didn’t need Qiu Yongkang to open his mouth and took a hundred taels banknote.

“Is it enough?”

“Enough.”

Qiu Yongkang sighed. Su Qing was more heroic than any man.

Su Qing only took Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi to dig for coal. Zhong Yong had heard about it and ran over with two big hammers. Before he even arrived, his loud voice had already arrived.

“Master, 1’11 go too. I’ll protect you.”

“You stay behind to protect Mo Cheng.”

Su Qing saw that the big guy Zhong Yong took up too much space in the carriage. They had driven five carriages, and the carriages were filled with empty baskets. Where was Zhong Yong going to sit?

Zhong Yong pouted unhappily and looked at Su Qing pitifully. He didn’t dare to say anything. He felt wronged.

Su Qing did not look at him and asked Li Daniu and the others to fill their water bags. There was a lack of water on the road, so everyone had to bring two water bags.

As for food, Su Qing didn’t want to bring it with her. There was enough for the three of them to eat when hunting in the mountains.

“Sister, I’ll follow you.”

Xiaoying also heard the news and ran over to follow her sister. Su Qing agreed to let her follow. It was difficult for the three to drive five carriages, and Xiaoying could drive one with her. Jiang Yuyan asked Su Qing carefully,

“Sister Su Qing, I want to go too.”

Coincidentally, they were short of a coachman, so Su Qing agreed readily. She also wanted to bring them to experience the world.

Zhong Yong’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he pouted his lips in grievance. Su Qing turned around and saw his aggrieved look, so he gave him a job.

“Go to the blacksmith shop to forge knives.”

Zhong Yong pursed his lips and unwillingly replied, “Oh.”

When Su Qing’s carriage drove out of the city, he remembered and ran to the city wall to shout at Su Qing,

“Master, 1 forged two knives today.”

On the day Su Qing was not home, Zhong Yong stayed in the blacksmith shop, starting a fire and forging his knife. He was good at imitating and learned it from Su Qing in one day. When his Master was not home, he forged two knives, waiting for Su Qing to return and praise him.

Su Qing heard Zhong Yong’s shout and turned around to look at the city wall. He saw Zhong Yong waving his long arms at her. His anxious eyes, waiting for praise, made Su Qing’s lips curl up.

“Not bad.”

Su Qing shouted and saw Zhong Yong dancing with joy.

Su Qing left with the carriage. Ji Shuisheng only returned to Mo City a day after she left. He brought back good news and a hundred taels of gold..
