Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Surprise Attack (3)_1

Chu Suifeng nodded, "You have been on the road for several days, always hurrying along. You should go to the back yard and rest."

"Alright. You don’t need to worry about me, Prince." Lin Ziyin replied with a smile.

Chu Suifeng watched her walk into the backyard with a faint smile.

Border City was a very important place. Chu Suifeng would never trust its management to an average person. Xiao Yang was not an average person, he was Chu Suifeng’s man. Having cut off the root of the Feng City Aristocratic Family, the Prince would naturally not allow the descendants of this family to continue to monopolize official positions in the Northern Land. Xiao Yang was his personal appointee. Although he was not a Military General, he was proficient in both civil and martial arts.

However, Xiao Yang was very lean, appearing weak and easily bullied. Many people were deceived by his appearance.

Even the people of the North Country didn’t understand him well. After all, Xiao Yang had only been in Border City for half a year as a prefect. His constant busyness without producing tangible results led the spies of the North Country to overlook him.

But in truth, Xiao Yang was like a lurking Wild Wolf.

"Timur is brave and good at fighting, but he is also obstinate and self-willed. He has arranged many spies in the city. Many of them are rooted in the city as ordinary civilians or merchants. In order to impress Billy, tonight or tomorrow night, he will inevitably attack the granary," Xiao Yang started to report his analysis to the Prince immediately after paying his respects, without waiting for Chu Suifeng to speak.

"Does Mr. Situ know about this?"

"Mr. Situ has known for a long time. Since the arrival of Timur in Border City, Mr. Situ has been monitoring the granary. Many grains have also been transferred to a safe place. Prince, there’s no need to worry," Xiao Yang replied.

"Where is Situ Gong?"

"Mr. Situ has made arrangements on the cliffs on both sides," Xiao Yang answered respectfully. "The third son and Mr. Situ intend to intercept Lord Bandit’s food supplies. They let the last shipment slip through to catch a big fish."

"Leave none of them, including their families," Chu Suifeng coldly issued the order. "As for the bandits, spare their leader, but not the rest."

"Yes, Prince." Xiao Yang bowed and accepted the order. "Ms. Lin is here. Do you want me to send someone to defend her?"

"No need," Chu Suifeng waved his hand.

Xiao Yang noticed his weary appearance. Knowing how much hardship Chu Suifeng must have endured on the road, he gracefully excused himself after delivering the news.

With Lin Ziyin in the residence, Chu Suifeng naturally had to be cautious.

Although he did not trust others and couldn’t stay with Lin Ziyin all the time, after Xiao Yang left, he closed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, he opened his eyes. "Dispatch a thousand Black Armored Soldiers here and invite Master Hui Zhen to stay."

Upon hearing the orders, Congyi immediately set off to carry them out.

After reaching the backyard, Lin Ziyin searched carefully and saw that it was well-kept, but there was no one around.

Luo Heng was a general who loved and cared for his troops, and he was honest and incorruptible. His wife was in Feng City. In the residence of Border City, he did not keep any other women. So, a few elderly and weak soldiers were assigned to clean the courtyard.

Chu Suifeng’s arrival was not a problem as he certainly wouldn’t normally stay in his residence. However, this time Lin Ziyin happened to come along. Now that there was a woman in the backyard, the people who normally cleaned the courtyard could not enter the backyard.

Moreover, the situation in Border City was tense right now, so he dare not casually hire maidservants off the streets to look after her. Fortunately, he had shared his concerns with Mr. Situ in advance.
