Xiaoying saw that Su Qing had decided to leave, so she brought out her big brother, hoping that she could use her big brother to keep Sister Su Qing.
Su Qing shook her head.
“I won’t wait.”
“Why?”
Xiaoying couldn’t understand why Sister Su Qing was leaving in such a hurry. Wasn’t Mo City very safe now?
“Someone has secretly reported to the Imperial Court that my uncle is hiding here and must leave as soon as possible.”
Su Qing had no choice but to lie. Otherwise, according to Xiaoying’s personality, she would not stop asking questions. If she did not tell her, she would stop her from leaving.
“Can’t you and my brother protect him?”
With Sister Su Qing and Big Brother in Xiaoying’s heart, she didn’t need to be afraid even if the Emperor came.
“I can’t.”
Su Qing shook her head and handed a bag of medicine to Xiaoying.
” Give this to your brother. I’ve marked all the medicine and tell him to keep it for emergencies.”
The medicine bag Su Qing gave Xiaoying contained divine medicine to treat external and internal injuries and knockout powder to knock out enemies.
Ji Shuisheng wanted to do great things. In the future, there will be more wars. Injuries on the battlefield were inevitable, so she kept these medicines to save his life.
As for the knockout powder, it was for emergencies. The knockout powder she left for Ji Shuisheng last time had been used. This could be considered the last time she would help him.
“Sister Su Qing, when are you coming back?”
Xiaoying hugged the bag of medicine and felt flustered. She felt that Sister Su Qing would leave this time and did not plan to come back.
Thinking about how Sister Su Qing would never come back, Xiaoying’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. She was unfortunate.
“Very soon.”
Su Qing comforted her with a smile, but deep in her eyes, there was a strong reluctance.
Jiang Yuyan and Li Shuang’er rushed over with Madam Li. Madam Li cried when she saw her goddaughter.
“Su Qing, why are you leaving?”
“Godmother, I will come back. Take care.”
Su Qing didn’t want to continue this parting scene. She had never felt so uncomfortable before. It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart. She waved goodbye to her godmother and drove out of the city.
When the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove heard the news, they ran to the city gate to send Su Qing off. Even Cheng Yu brought the Xiao Family Army to send Su Qing off when he heard the news.
The group of people who sent her off was very shocked. For the first time, Su Qing felt a sense of concern. These people were all people she wanted to protect. She looked over one by one and saw that everyone’s eyes were filled with reluctance. Su Qing did not want to look anymore. She was afraid that she would not be able to bear to leave. She cupped her fists and said to everyone,
“See you again.”
Su Hanxuan and Luan Qingshan did not expect Su Qing to be so loved. This scene was too touching. During this period, they had heard a lot about their daughter. Everyone respected and feared her.
Looking at it now, it was not that everyone was afraid of her but that they were filled with love.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and the people and city that sent them off slowly disappeared.
It was almost the third or ninth day, and the north wind blew everywhere. The wind was mighty today.
The interior of the carriage was fine. There was a hand warmer, a quilt made of wool, and a curtain to block the cold wind.
The coachman was cold. Fortunately, Yang Zhi and the others were escorts all year round, so the heat and cold were nothing to them.
As for whether they would stay with Su Hanxuan at Jingshi Dao or return to Mo City, Yang Zhi chose to follow Su Hanxuan.
Jingshi Dao was an unfamiliar city, and there would usually be a phenomenon of bullying strangers. Since they had an advantage in numbers, no one dared to bully Su Hanxuan’s family.
It could be said that Su Hanxuan had made a good friend of Yang Zhi. He was always thinking about them.
Su Qing was also sitting in front of the carriage, driving it. Yang Zhi was afraid she would be cold, so he asked her to enter the carriage several times so their bodyguard could go; Su Qing refused.
“Su Qing, put on your cloak.”
Yang Ruxue was afraid that her daughter would freeze, so she removed the wool cloak that Su Qing had knitted for her and put it on her.
Yang Ruxue no longer forced her daughter. After spending so much time together, she knew her daughter’s stubbornness. She had asked her to enter the car twice but was rejected. Perhaps her daughter was upset and wanted to be alone.
“Thank you, Mother.”
Su Qing thanked her and tied the strap of her cloak. The wool cloak was warm, and her mother’s concern for her was even warmer.
While Su Qing brought her family to Jingshi Dao, Ji Shuisheng rushed home with the grain he had defrauded from Jin City and Yao City.
When he passed the iron mine, he sent two carts of rations to Uncle Qu and the others, exchanged them for two carts of forged weapons, and brought them back to Mo City.
He had returned to Mo City five days after Su Qing had left. Because he had to travel by night and day to avoid detection, the three-day journey took seven to eight days to complete.
Ji Shuisheng returned to Mo City with over 30 carts of rations and two carts of weapons. He did not choose to enter the city during the day. He wrapped a cloth on his horse hooves and entered the city without anyone noticing. He waited until the night was quiet before letting the city guards open the door for him.
It had been more than ten days. Ji Shuisheng was eager to return home. When he left Mo City, he did not know why Su Qing suddenly ignored him. These few days, before the night was quiet, Ji Shuisheng had been thinking hard about what he had done wrong.
Su Qing wasn’t a petty person. She wouldn’t have ignored him if he hadn’t done something that she couldn’t stand.
However, Ji Shuisheng could not figure out what he had done wrong. Could she blame him for letting the Wan Family Army into the city and putting her parents in danger?
This was the only reason why Su Qing was so angry.
Ji Shuisheng returned to the city and asked Cheng Yu to arrange for the soldiers to unload the trucks. The first thing he wanted to do was to look for Su Qing.
However, it was already the third watch of the night, and Su Qing was asleep. Even if he was anxious, he had to endure it until tomorrow morning.
In about two hours, he didn’t want to go home and wake Xiaoying and Godmother. He just wanted to sleep in the government office.
“Shuisheng, we can recruit soldiers and buy horses with this food.”
Cheng Yu walked into the house with a beaming face. He had been starving during the war in the past, so how could he dare to increase the number of soldiers? One more person meant one more portion of food.
Now that they had food, they could boldly recruit soldiers and strengthen the Xiao family army.
How could Cheng Yu not be happy? Thinking of the Xiao Family Army’s heroes, he couldn’t suppress his excitement.
“Yeah,”
Ji Shuisheng nodded. Food was the foundation of an army. Although they had mutton to eat previously, it would cause them to get angry if they overate it. They could not drive the sheep away even if they went to war. Without a strong logistics force, would they let the soldiers at the front eat dirt to fight?
He had grand ambitions and had already gathered the Xiao Family Army, but Jingshi Dao still had the most soldiers. The commander, Yan Shikuan, was also his father’s sworn brother.
When his father was in trouble, the other members of the Xiao Family Army either shouted for revenge or retired. Only Yan Shikuan stayed close to Jingshi Dao and even sent a memorial to the Emperor to express his loyalty.
Ji Shuisheng couldn’t understand Yan Shikuan’s actions. Not only did he not understand, but even Cheng Yu and Qu Da had also broken off relations with Yan Shikuan. This time, Cheng Yu had gone to find him, thinking Yan Shikuan would protect Ji Shuisheng for Xiao Heng’s sake.
Who knew that he recognized the commander’s seal but not the person? And the key to this commander’s seal was with his fiancee, who was nowhere to be found.
Fiancee? Ji Shuisheng suddenly thought of something..
