69 Chapter 69. You Can’t Mess With This Woman

“I’m not leaving. I want to help my sister beat up the bad guys.”

Ji Xiaoying shook her head vigorously. The little girl had been by Su Qing’s side for a long time and had grown bolder. She would not abandon sister Su Qing and run for her life.

“Be obedient.”

Su Qing frowned and ordered in an unquestionable tone, “You’ll only distract me if you stay here. Hurry up and go with your brother.”

Ji Xiaoying’s eyes reddened. She stomped, wiped her tears, and ran to the backyard.

Qiu Yongkang and Li Daniu were about to leave after reporting to Ji Shuisheng about buying food. Before they could go, they saw Xiaoying holding up her skirt and running across the lobby.

Seeing Xiaoying’s anxious and fl.u.s.tered face, Qiu Yongkang and Li Daniu stopped walking and followed Ji Shuisheng to welcome her. Ji Shuisheng stopped his sister and asked her,

“Xiao Ying, what happened?”

“Someone came with a message …

Sister Su Qing told us to leave first. She wants to stay here and die with old Qin. Big brother, please help old Qin. He’s a good official. I won’t leave if Sister doesn’t.”

Ji Xiaoying’s small mouth babbled, telling her brother that the city guards were coming to take over the government office. After speaking, she pulled on her brother’s arm and shook it as if it was the first time she had saved Su Qing. She was determined to stay behind to accompany her.

Ji Shuisheng frowned. He carried a blood feud and couldn’t die, and his little sister couldn’t die either. He couldn’t just watch her die. Su Qing?

“Shuisheng, let’s stay and help! There aren’t many good officials like old Qin. He ordered porridge to be provided and saved countless people. Our Peach Blossom Cove has also received his kindness, so we must not let a villain harm him.”

Qiu Yongkang didn’t persuade Ji Shuisheng to leave but to stay.

They would not abandon Ji Shuisheng and run for their lives. They were born together and would die together. It was an honor to help a loyal man fight.

Qiu Yongkang’s words convinced Ji Shuisheng. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind,

“Alright, we brothers will fight to punish the corrupt officials.”

At this moment, Daren needed help. One more person meant one more power. However, Ji Shuisheng didn’t want his little sister to stay and take the risk, so he ordered Li Daniu to take Ji Xiaoying away.

In the end, both Ji Xiaoying and Li Daniu shook their heads simultaneously.

“I’m not leaving.”

“Brother Shuisheng, let Yongkang send my sister out of the city. I want to fight side by side with you. I have great strength and can fight.”

Li Daniu pushed Qiu Yongkang and asked him to take Ji Xiaoying away. Li Daniu couldn’t bear to leave this kind of fight. His blood was boiling when he heard that he would help G.o.dfather Qin fight against the bad guys. At this time, he felt worse than being killed.

“I’m not leaving; I’m not leaving.”

Ji Xiaoying panicked and shouted at them excitedly. “Why are you all letting me go? There’s no point in living without you guys. If you let me go again, I’ll die before you.”

Ji Xiaoying looked around and saw a steel knife on the ground. She ran to pick it up but was stopped by Qiu Yongkang. “Xiaoying, don’t mess around.”

“Brother Yongkang, I want to accompany you.”

Ji Xiaoying looked at Qiu Yongkang with tears as if she would cry if he disagreed.

“Ai, you should go and accompany Master Qin. You should be safest by his side.”

Qiu Yongkang couldn’t bear to see Ji Xiaoying cry, so he sighed helplessly. He knew Master Qin had a guard with a knife, so it was safest for her to be by his side.

“Alright,” he said.

Seeing Qiu Yongkang agree to her request, Ji Xiaoying’s face lit up. Tears fell from her eyes as she blinked. Qiu Yongkang felt a sharp pain in his heart and subconsciously raised his hand to help her wipe her tears away. However, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Ji Shuisheng knew his sister’s stubbornness so he couldn’t persuade her. Yongkang didn’t want Xiao Ying to go by herself without him. Shuisheng’s suggestion was a good idea. It should be the safest to stay by Master Qin’s side.

After all, a few would have to fight the city guards to death in a while, so they could not spare any time to protect Xiaoying.

“Drive the carriage into the hospital.”

Because Ji Shuisheng didn’t object, Qiu Yongkang asked Li Daniu to drive the carriage to the courtyard. The carriage was the most valuable thing in their escape team and must be protected.

After Li Daniu drove it into the courtyard, Qiu Yongkang and Ji Shuisheng closed the backyard door and put on the top door bar and door bolt for double insurance.

The servants of Guo Gang’s family all stood in the yard in fear. They didn’t know what to do.

Ji Shuisheng glanced at them. These people might be unable to help if they stayed and might even work with the city guards. He ordered Li Daniu,

“Lock them up in the inner residence and tie them up. Kill whoever dares to come out.”

These servants were on the verge of tears. They thought that they could let them go. But they still had to lock them up.

“Sir, please spare me!”

The servants begged, but Ji Shuisheng didn’t show any mercy. Li Daniu and Qiu Yongkang pushed the people into the study room and let them tie each other up. They would tie up the last person to save time. They would fight a tough battle, so they had to settle the internal affairs first.

In front of the government office, the head bailiff carried the bow and b.u.t.ter to the main hall and stood at the side, looking at Su Qing uneasily.

He didn’t even know what he was feeling now. If this woman forced him to become enemies with the Army, he would be in the same boat as them. He still hoped that Daren would win. If Daren won, they could help the emperor’s teacher resist the enemy.

But he felt like he was dreaming. If twenty people wanted to fight against hundreds of well-trained city guards, wasn’t it like hitting a stone with an egg?

Su Qing ordered more than a dozen bottles with narrow mouths to be brought over. She then filled the bottles with b.u.t.ter and used a cloth covered with b.u.t.ter to plug the mouth of the bottles, revealing an oil-covered twist outside.

The head bailiff was someone who could read people’s expressions. When he saw Su Qing making the oil bottles, he called for help. Everyone worked together to make such oil bottles. Su Qing checked each of them to ensure she didn’t miss anything before she was relieved.

She then took out the medicinal powder and asked someone to dissolve it in water. She asked the bailiff to bring over a bundle of bow and arrows and soaked them in the medicinal water. When she did all this, her eyes were focused and orderly, without panic.

Seeing how calm she was, the panicking bailiffs also seemed to calm down. They all stared at Su Qing as she soaked the arrowheads with poison.

This woman was not to be trifled with. If you did, you would die without even knowing it.

Li Wu had already brought two guards to protect old Qin. Their duty was to ensure old Qin’s safety, so the backyard was left to Ji Shuisheng and his brothers.

“Which one of you has better archery skills?”

Su Qing raised her eyes and looked at Li Wu and the twenty or so bailiffs. Although there seemed to be a lot of bows and arrows, thousands of people were on the other side. They could not afford to waste them.

“It’s me,” he said. Li Wu and the two guards raised their hands at the same time. As guards, their archery skills were first-cla.s.s.

“One of you will stay behind to protect Master Qin. The other two will each take three bailiffs to the left and right courtyards to look for tall trees for an ambush.”

Su Qing asked them to bring three bailiffs, bows and arrows, and quivers filled with poisonous arrows to guard the trees to the left and suitable courtyards.

Li Wu and the two guards looked at old Qin with conflicted expressions. What if something happened to old Qin after they left? They had to protect old Qin’s safety.
