Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just as Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu were looking forward to the future, the blacksmith brought a group of people over. These were all commoners on this street. When they heard that the Xiao Family Army was here, everyone was as excited as the blacksmith and wanted to come and take a look.

Su Qing saw that many people loved the Xiao Family Army and smiled at Ji Shuisheng.

“Shuisheng, this is the best gift your father left for you.”

To be loved by the people, General Xiao Heng must have done his best for them and cared for them wholeheartedly. That was why the people still remembered him after so many years.

“Yes, in the future, 1 must be like a father and love the people so they can live and work peacefully.”

Xiao Zeyu was also very emotional. He wanted to give these people a peaceful and prosperous life so they could live a happy and worry-free life without fearing famine.

The commoners gathered at the entrance of the blacksmith shop and looked excitedly at Xiao Zeyu. Some elders had seen General Xiao Heng before and felt he had returned. They were so excited that tears welled as they called out to General Xiao.

“General Xiao, you’re finally back. With you around, the people will have a peaceful life.”

Xiao Zeyu’s blood boiled as he listened to everyone’s shouts. He stood at the entrance of the blacksmith shop and swept his gaze across the honest faces. To protect them, he would not hesitate even if he had to shed his blood.

Xiao Zeyu’s hands pressed down, and everyone automatically shut up and looked at him eagerly. Xiao Zeyu shouted to everyone,

” A son should not speak of his father’s name. 1 am General Xiao’s son, Xiao Zeyu. From now on, Jin City will be taken over by the Xiao Family Army. Everyone can live a normal life. The Xiao Family Army will protect your safety. If the Zhizhou of Jin City has bullied you, you can complain to the government office later. 1 will avenge everyone.”

Hearing Xiao Zeyu’s words, the people became even more excited. They all went back to spread the news. After all these years of oppression, there was finally someone who would help uphold justice.

After the commoners left, Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing smiling at him. He smiled and put his arm around Su Qing’s shoulder, asking her with a smile.

“What are you laughing at?”

“You now have the style of a tyrant.”

Su Qing smiled and said, “This is why he likes men. This is why she likes the king’s style. This is why he is upright. This is why he can buy people’s hearts. This is why he can stabilize Jin City. This is why the dragon gives birth to the dragon and phoenix.” Xiao Zeyu’s male Tao Wei has been revealed.

Xiao Zeyu felt even better after being praised by Su Qing. After laughing, his face turned serious.

” Qing’er, I will capture the Zhizhou of Jin City and dismiss all the bailiffs. These are the villains who prey on the people. 1 will open the granary and let the people know that the Xiao family’s army is here so they won’t starve. I plan to select the Zhizhou of Jin City from the city. In addition, 1 don’t plan to go to Jingshi Dao and Mo City to move troops to attack Luo City. I’ll recruit troops and expand the army in Jin City.”

Xiao Zeyu discussed his thoughts with Su Qing. He did not act arbitrarily or look down on women like men in this era. He respected Su Qing very much and liked to listen to her opinions.

“1 think it’s possible. Only with the hearts of the people can we be invincible. Based on the love of the people for the Xiao family’s army, we can maintain Jin City’s prosperity as before with kindness and power. However, Zhizhou has been arrested, and the bailiffs have been dismissed. Who do you plan to send to guard J in City?”

Su Qing agreed with Xiao Zeyu’s idea. She was just worried that Jin City would be trapped without the Zhizhou and delay the pace of the attack.

“1 want to hold an autumn examination to select some talented people in Jin City before appointing them.”

Xiao Zeyu had already thought it through. What he lacked the most right now was talent, so he would select talents for his use. The autumn examination was the best method.

“Not bad, this is a good idea.”

Su Qing’s eyes lit up when she heard this. The way she looked at Xiao Zeyu became even more loving. He was indeed a man with outstanding literary and martial arts skills.

Xiao Zeyu ordered his guards to bring men to take control of the Zhizhou and the government office of Jin City and lock them up in prison. He then opened the government office’s doors to receive complaints from the people. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

After arranging this, Xiao Zeyu held Su Qing’s hand and smiled at her.

“Qing’ er, let’s go eat.”

“Alright.”

Su Qing felt his warm hand wrapped around her cold little hand. The warmth drove away the cold. She smiled. Like all the girls who were doted on in love, her eyes were filled with stars, and her smile was filled with honey.

The commoners in the city knew that it was the Xiao Family’s Army that had arrived. They were not afraid of the Hu and the Nanman people. Every household opened its doors to welcome the arrival of the Xiao Family’s Army. The street shops quickly opened, and Jin City regained its prosperity.

Xiao Zeyu looked at this prosperous place and hoped that all the people in the future would be as happy as they were now. His eyes were full of hope.

He brought Su Qing to a teahouse. This teahouse served delicious refreshments and was decorated very elegantly. When they arrived, there were already many customers in the teahouse. When they saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman entering the teahouse, everyone looked at them.

“That’s General Xiao’s son.”

Someone shouted, and all the customers in the teahouse stood up, looking at Xiao Zeyu with sincere eyes. It was no different from when they welcomed the Xiao family’s army. The boss even personally came out to receive them, cupping his fists at Xiao Zeyu with a smile on his face,

“Young Master Xiao’s arrival brings light to this humble store. It’s my honor to invite Young Master Xiao to rest in the private room.”

“Child, bring a basin of hot water for young master Xiao to wash up.”

When the boss saw the blood on Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu, he hurriedly asked the waiter to bring hot water for them to wash up. He also ordered the best tea leaves for Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing.

The boss was very attentive, and Xiao Zeyu expressed his gratitude. Su Qing wasn’t used to interacting with people, so she went to her seat and watched as the people came in individually to talk to Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu patiently chatted with them.

She couldn’t do such an approachable thing. She automatically drew a cold arc and sat on her seat with a stern expression as she drank slowly.

After a tiring day and night, she was cold and hungry. After a cup of hot tea, she felt warm all over. He had to admit that the tea in this teahouse was delicious. It was sweet and thirsty. It was top-grade.

Xiao Zeyu finally managed to send the enthusiastic citizens away. He turned around and saw Su Qing leisurely drinking tea. He smiled and said.

“The future mother of the country, aren’t you going to mingle with your future people?”

“No need. I want them to be afraid of me.”

Su Qing drank the tea in her cup in one gulp. She put down the teacup and raised her eyebrows, looking aloof and cold.

“Ha, good, well said.”

Su Qing was teasing Xiao Zeyu. As a ruler, he didn’t need a good relationship with the people. He only needed them to be afraid of him. Only when they were worried would they respect him? However, now was the time to win over the people’s hearts. He couldn’t be cold and aloof. He could only be friendly.

Xiao Zeyu soaked the towel in hot water, wrung it dry, and handed it to Su Qing.

“Let me help you wipe it.”

Su Qing’s face was still stained with the enemy’s blood. Xiao Zeyu’s heart ached when he saw this, and he reached out to wipe it away. Su Qing closed her eyes and enjoyed Xiao Zeyu’s care. Xiao Zeyu felt even more gentle when he saw this, and his fingers brushed across Su Qing’s smooth face, causing ripples in his heart.

Just as Xiao Zeyu was about to kiss Su Qing’s red lips, the door to the private room was pushed open..
