Chapter 269

Ying Su nodded and said to Li Li Yuanba, "Once the Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Clouds Cover recovers, you are to do two things!"

"First, return to Xianyang City, deliver the report of victory to the imperial court, and issue a decree: the great victory in exterminating the Xiongnu is a cause for great joy; all citizens of the nation are exempt from taxes for one year, and nobles shall celebrate by having their taxes increased by ten percent!"

"Ah?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Wang Jian was stunned!

He looked at Ying Su in disbelief, his face full of shock!

Exempting the common people from taxes for a year was already exaggerated enough, but increasing the nobles' taxes by ten percent... this... this was going to offend everyone to the death!

His scalp tingled!

At this very moment, he really wanted to advise Ying Su against it!

However... he had never involved himself in government affairs, and now, he did not want to either.

Therefore, he kept his mouth shut!

At this moment, he was merely trembling with fear.

As for the other task Ying Su mentioned, it left Wang Wang Jian somewhat confused: "Summon Zhang Liang and bring him to me!"

"Zhang Liang?"

Wang Wang Jian frowned tightly.

At this moment, he had absolutely no idea what Ying Su intended to do.

However, Li Li Yuanba obeyed the order!

In the blink of an eye, everyone had left!

At this moment, sitting on the snow basking in the sun, he felt bored.

After pondering for a moment, he ordered someone to bring Concubine Yan and Snow Maiden over!

"Bring Concubine Yan and Snow Maiden?"

Chong Xin did not understand.

Ever since Concubine Yan and Snow Maiden were captured, Ying Su had been playing with the White Tiger; why did he suddenly think of Concubine Yan?

But he did not delay and hurried off to find them!

A moment later, they were brought over!

The two women looked at Ying Su with eyes that were completely cold and icy, filled with murderous intent!

There was not a shred of emotion to be found!

Ying Su stared at them and smiled: "Do you know why I haven't killed you?"

"Hmph!"

Snow Maiden snorted coldly in her heart but did not speak!

Concubine Yan clenched her fists tightly!

Ying Su stared at Concubine Yan and pointed at Snow Maiden: "I kept her because of the White Tiger; the White Tiger is a rare sight, truly a genuine treasure!"

"But you?"

"You're almost thirty this year, and you've even given birth to a daughter; you're practically a worn-out piece of goods. If I sent you to the Xiongnu, even they wouldn't eat your meat; they'd find you too stringy!"

"So why haven't I killed you?"

"You..."

Concubine Yan's eyes were splitting with rage; at this moment, she desperately wanted to kill Ying Su with a single sword strike.

But alas, her acupoints were sealed, and she couldn't move at all!

Beside her, Snow Maiden's gaze was equally icy.

Especially when she thought of what he said about the White Tiger, she gnashed her teeth!

She had been captured for almost a month now!

For this past month, she had been ravaged by Ying Su almost every day!

And it was done in all sorts of different ways!

All kinds of unspeakable methods had been played out on her by Ying Su!

Every inch of her body had been...

She was so angry and ashamed that she wished she could kill Ying Su immediately!

But... her acupoints were sealed, and she couldn't move a muscle!

Her rage soared to the heavens!

Ying Su ignored her and looked at Concubine Yan: "The reason I haven't killed you is because you are pathetic, and furthermore, you are stupid to the core!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Yan was furious; at that moment, even with her acupoints sealed, she couldn't help but clench her fists fiercely!

Ying Su said: "I'm saying this about you, and you must be very unconvinced!"

"But it is the truth!"

"Look at that pathetic mess between you and Yan Dan!"

"For the sake of Yan Dan, you gave up everything you possessed!"

"Even disregarding the danger to your life, you had to be with him!"

"But what about him? From beginning to end, he never once trusted you!"

"Even after he abandoned you, you were still telling your Yue'er not to hate her father!"

"Tell me, is there any saving someone as stupid as that?"

"Ah!"

Concubine Yan was furious; in that instant, she released her aura, and under the surge of her internal energy, she was almost about to break through her acupoints.

But... Ying Su just slapped her on the buttocks, and her internal energy was dispersed.

"You..."

Concubine Yan was furious, furious at the spot Ying Su had slapped!

She was absolutely gnashing her teeth!

Ying Su, however, said with disdain:

"Qiao Feng, Cao Cao Zhengchun, and Yao Yue—they placed so many seals on you; do you think you can break through them?"

"If you don't behave, I will have Yao Yue drain all your internal energy immediately!"

He spoke, and at these words, Concubine Yan panicked!

She had seen Yao Yue's martial arts; they were very strong!

Moreover, during the time she had been imprisoned, she had already had some of her internal energy drained by Yao Yue!

Otherwise, how could a simple acupoint-sealing technique imprison her?

Ying Su continued: "The reason I haven't killed you is actually for one more reason, and that is... I remember you still have a daughter!"

"What?"

At these words, Concubine Yan was terrified, and in that instant, she was furious again: "If you dare touch a hair on her head, even if I turn into a vengeful ghost, I will not let you go!"

Ying Su waved his hand: "Whether you turn into a vengeful ghost and let me go or not, I don't know, but I do know that if you don't listen obediently and work for me, I will capture your daughter!"

"What?"

At these words, Concubine Yan was stunned!

Ying Su nodded:

"That's right. Serve me, and I can spare your daughter. But if you don't listen, you know how formidable Li Li Yuanba is!"

"You also know how fast his Ten Thousand Li Smoke and Clouds Cover is!"

"By the day after tomorrow at the latest, I can have your Yue'er appear before you!"

"Ah!"

Concubine Yan panicked, and at that moment, her whole body trembled!

Ying Su took the opportunity to lie down directly on the ground!

"You... you..."

Concubine Yan swallowed hard!

At this moment, Concubine Yan was still trembling!

But Chong Xin understood immediately, and he began to call out.

A moment later, several Xiongnu beauties ran over, holding cloths, and began to enclose the area on the spot!

Half an hour later!
