Su Yu’s appearance meant that he had prepared everything and was waiting for this moment.
The strength of the people around Su Yu had inexplicably increased, and Xie Chen’s former subordinates might not be a match for them.
Nervously, Xie Yang occasionally looked at the ongoing battle, feeling deeply worried.
Su Yu walked to Xie Chen’s side, looked at his anxious and concerned expression, and suddenly smiled, “Xie Chen, you knew they would come, didn’t you?”
“It seems that there are still people in the Ministry of Justice who are eating inside and collaborating with outsiders. We need to clean them up thoroughly.”
Xie Chen stared at Su Yu fiercely, harboring resentment against him. If it weren’t for Su Yu and his family, how could they have ended up like this?
“Su Yu, do you think helping them is useful? Xuan Empire will eventually become someone else’s possession.” Xie Chen struggled to speak.
“No need to worry about that. Without traitors like you, protecting Xuan Empire is still easy for us.” Su Yu replied calmly, not showing any anger.
Xie Yang had been staring at Su Yu since his appearance. Now, hearing Su Yu’s words, she couldn’t help but struggle, her eyes filled with anger. “Su Yu, why are you treating my family like this?”
“Why? Because the Xie family has already done things that harm Xuan Empire.”
Xie Yang simply couldn’t believe that this was true.
“Could it be that you just learned about these things I mentioned?”
“No, It’s, Because of Ling Xiaochen’s appearance, and because of Wang Jinhe ultimately, you’re still doing it for that woman.” What was so special about Wang Jinhe that made Su Yu disregard everything?
Su Yu looked at Xie Yang without any rebuttal. Even if Xie Yang knew, what difference would it make?
“Your family is quite capable. You want to help the enemy, send the county princess who has made contributions to our country and has kindness towards Xuan Empire’s people out for marriage. Moreover, she’s already married with a child.” Su Yu looked at Xie Yang and said each word deliberately, causing Xie Yang’s eyes to turn red.
“Xiao He has produced a high yield of up to a thousand kilograms of grain, and this year he will cultivate even higher-yield crops. This is good news for the people. What about you? Xiao He has supplied the court with 180,000 kilograms of grain seeds, and what have your family’s retainers done? If someone wants a million taels, they would readily give it away. Why are you so generous? Is the stuff yours that you can freely arrange?” Su Yu recounted the events from the New Year’s Eve banquet.
The attending commoners were furious.
They were waiting for the court to distribute grain seeds this year, and now the Xie family wanted to send away the grain seeds that belonged to them, and even the person who cultivated high-yield crops for them?
“Kill them! The Xie family is too much, helping fatten the enemy while weakening the strength of Xuan Empire. What benefit does this bring to you?” The commoners angrily demanded.
Amidst the angry shouts of the commoners, Yuan Xu and the others had already captured Xie Chen’s former subordinates.
“It seems your people aren’t as formidable as you thought,” Su Yu said mockingly, looking at Xie Chen.
Xie Chen looked at Su Yu, not only without anger but also with a sinister smile: “Su Yu, I’ll be waiting for you below.”
Su Yu looked at the executioner beside him and gave the order: “Proceed with the execution.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The common people, who were initially hesitant, harbored no sympathy for the Xie family after learning what they had done.
Before Su Yu could turn around, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air.
Turning his head to see an arrow flying towards him, he thought of Xie Chen’s words a moment ago, scoffed lightly, raised his hand, caught the arrow, and shot down the ones that followed.
“I’ll go, young master.”
“No need, someone has already gone.” When they dealt with Xie Chen’s old subordinates, he noticed that the skilled archer under Xie Chen was absent.
He had wondered where the person had gone, but he hadn’t expected them to be sent to assassinate him.
Xie Chen had thought that he would see Su Yu’s blood splattering three feet before he died.
But he didn’t expect Su Yu to be so formidable.
As Su Yu walked away, the executioner acted promptly to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Facing Su Yu, Xie Chen, with gritted teeth, roared in anger: “Heaven is unjust.”
Su Yu turned and walked away. After Su Yu left, the executioner acted immediately to prevent any unexpected events.
As Xie Yang faced death, she unwillingly watched Su Yu. After so many years of chasing Su Yu, she only realized in her dying moments that this person was, in fact, cold to the core.
As long as it’s someone he dislikes, he can be so cold that it seems like he wants to freeze them solid.
With Xie Yang dead, Su Yu had no thoughts about it. At this moment, the Xie family’s skilled archer had also been captured by Yuan Lin.
Watching the opponent’s unwilling expression, Su Yu smiled: “Your archery skills are indeed impressive, but you are still too weak.”
“Is that so? Su Yu, do you think that when you return now, you won’t see your wife and child lying in a pool of blood? I may not be able to kill you, but as long as someone else can kill your wife and child, it’s enough.” The opponent laughed heartily, looking at Su Yu.
However, Su Yu didn’t feel anger or rage, not even concern. He just looked at the person who kept laughing.
Su Yu stared at the opponent. “Had enough laughter? Do you think that when I knew you were coming to raid the execution grounds, I wouldn’t have sent someone to protect my wife and child? Your confident accomplice should already be waiting for you underground.”
The guards who had once followed Su Yu on his journey were all now placed around Wang Jinhe and his son. They wouldn’t allow any harm to come to them.
Sure enough, Yuan Xu soon appeared, covered in the scent of blood. “Young Master, as you predicted, they planned to harm the Young Madam and Young Master. We have taken care of them.”
“Good, is Xiao Bao frightened?” That was Su Yu’s main concern now.
Yuan Xu gently shook his head. “Young Master, rest assured. Little Master was not frightened; instead, he said he wants to practice martial arts well in the future to protect the Young Madam.”
Xiao Bao was indeed a spitting image of Su Yu, both in appearance and personality.
“That’s good. Everything is fine here; Big Brother can take care of it. Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
Returning home, Su Yu saw Wang Jinhe sitting there waiting for him.
“You’re back.”
Su Yu walked over and looked at Wang Jinhe with some concern, asking, “Xiao He, are you okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. Did something happen on the execution grounds?” If things had gone wrong here, it was even more concerning for the execution grounds.
“Xie Chen’s old subordinates attempted to raid the execution grounds, but we intercepted them. Everything is fine now.” Su Yufei didn’t mention the part about them wanting to kill him to Wang Jinhe.
Wang Jinhe let out a sigh of relief, looking at Su Yu and softly saying, “It’s good as long as everything is fine. I feel relieved now.”
“Your husband is quite capable; don’t worry.”
“After Big Brother’s matters are settled, we can go back. Is it still in time for planting now?” Su Yu asked Wang Jinhe, concerned about causing her any trouble.
The matter of cultivation might be delayed because of this incident.
“It won’t be delayed. But what about uncle’s side?”
