Chapter 122. Reaping What You Sow
“Sir, I’m telling the truth. Look at the wound on my arm. It’s so deep, and the bleeding stopped just by applying some medicine. How many casualties would it reduce if this medicine was used in battle? ”
Jiang Yifan tried to convince the armored soldiers that the blood-clotting medicine was a miracle.
“Report to the general.”
The armored guards at the gate didn’t believe that such a miraculous medicine could exist, but seeing that the wound on Jiang Yifan’s arm was deep, they sent someone to report to the general.
Jiang Yifan’s eyes flashed viciously, and he was secretly happy. That doctor embarrassed him, so he let the government use his ancestral secret recipe. At that time, the secret recipe would be worthless.
Losing the secret recipe would make one a traitor in the sect or clan. The crime would be unforgivable, and they would be expelled from the sect and the genealogy.
Su Qing saw Jiang Yifan pointing at his injured arm and gesturing at the ironclad Army. He was pointing toward the back street where master Qi lived.
Su Qing was an intelligent person. She immediately guessed that this kid had terrible intentions. She wanted to kill him, but he was at the entrance of the courier station. Armored soldiers were guarding him, so she didn’t have the chance to do so.
However, she had a lot of patience if she wanted to kill someone.
She found a big tree and tied the horse to it, then stood behind it and quietly looked toward the courier station.
The armored soldier who had gone in to report came out. Jiang Yifan hurriedly went up to him and put on a flattering smile.
“Did the general ask for the prescription?”
“Men, capture him.”
However, Jiang Yifan didn’t get the result he wanted. The officer who came out ordered his men to take Jiang Yifan into custody.
“What’s going on? Why did you capture me?”
Jiang Yifan was dumbfounded. He had come to contribute a good recipe, so why had the ironclad Army captured him without distinguishing right from wrong?
“The general has ordered us to interrogate him to find out who sent him.”
The officer didn’t even pay attention to him and instead gave his subordinates an order that scared Jiang Yifan out of his wits.
“Yes.”
Two armored soldiers came over, and each grabbed one of Jiang Yifan’s arms, pressing him down so hard that he couldn’t lift his head. They then carried him with their large backs and escorted him to the prison.
It was pretty torturous to be escorted in this position. Jiang Yifan screamed, not understanding why they were treating him like this. His arms were in extreme pain like they were about to break.
Even though Su Qing didn’t manage to kill Jiang Yifan, she was still delighted to see his end.
She wasn’t afraid that the ironclad Army would ask master Qi. Master Qi didn’t even know her name. She was a traveling Doctor who came to the shop to buy things. She didn’t have a fixed residence and couldn’t be found anywhere.
After Su Qing finished watching the show, she did not need to stay any longer in this troublesome place. She led his horse out of the city.
The two waiters often tied things for guests, so they were strong. The two food boxes were tied to a knife paper package. Even when riding a horse, the food boxes would not fall.
When Su Qing left the city, she saw the perverted officer again. He saw that Su Qing was wearing expensive clothes, and the food box tied to the back of the horse was obviously for the rich. The perverted thoughts he had for Su Qing were extinguished in an instant.
It turned out that this young man was not an ordinary person but a young master from a noble family. How could an average person have such a good horse? Fortunately, he didn’t have time to extend his hand then. Otherwise, his good days would have come to an end.
Su Qing didn’t know what the soldier was thinking. Seeing that he didn’t come over to bother him, he didn’t respond.
She rode her horse in the direction of the Peach Blossom Cove villagers. She didn’t dare to ride too fast for fear of spilling the food in the food box on the bumpy road.
The villagers were resting in a small forest far away from Jin City. Based on their experience of escaping from famine, staying far away from the official road was the best way to ensure their safety.
Afraid that Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang could not find them, they sent seventh master Jiang (Laoqi)to wait outside the forest.
Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang were each riding a horse. Behind the horses were five wooden carts pulled one after another like sticks of candied haws. Seventh master Jiang from afar, saw such an extensive lineup. He jumped up and ran towards them.
“Shuisheng, Yongkang, you’re finally back.”
“You’re all good?”
Ji Shuisheng jumped off his horse and asked seventh brother Jiang.
“We’re all fine. They’re resting in the forest. I’ve boiled a pot of water, and everyone has made lotus root starch to eat.”
Jiang Laoqi kept reporting to Ji Shuisheng. He was so happy to see the ten handcarts that his teeth were showing,
“With these carriages, we can make all travel by carriage. The speed will be twice as fast!”
“Yes.”
Ji Shuisheng responded with an absent-minded air, but in his heart, he still wondered who led the Wan family Army to Jin City.
The hatred was so deep that it made his heart skip a beat.
“By the way, did you see Su Qing? She said she was going to Jin City to buy something.”
Jiang Laoqi’s words pulled Ji Shuisheng’s wandering mind back to reality. He frowned and asked Jiang Laoqi,
“Su Qing has entered the city?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Laoqi nodded. Ji Shuisheng’s brows furrowed even more.
“Why didn’t you guys stop her?”
Danger lurked in every corner of the city, and with Su Qing’s personality, what if she was in trouble?
“Who would dare to stop her?”
Jiang Laoqi had accidentally blurted out the truth. The villagers were both respectful and afraid of Su Qing. Who would dare to stop Su Qing from doing whatever she wanted?
Just like that day when she almost beat Qiu Yue to death, even the Qiu family didn’t dare to stop her.
“Yongkang, you guys take the team and leave first; I’ll take a look.”
Ji Shuisheng was worried, so he let Qiu Yongkang lead the team while he went back to find Su Qing.
On his way there, he bumped into Su Qing, who had just returned on horseback. Seeing that she had changed her clothes, Ji Shuisheng was stunned. Had she entered the city to buy clothes?
Two exquisite and high-end food boxes and two large packets of paper? Ji Shuisheng was riding a horse and walking with Su Qing. He saw that she was carrying something on her horse’s back.
It seemed like they were about to set off.
Someone shouted excitedly when they saw her return. The person with the loud voice was Li Daniu, “What did you buy?”
He asked casually, and Su Qing replied indifferently,
“Paper knife.”
“Paper knife?”
Ji Shuisheng repeated. However, Su Qing’s following words made him blush. Why would she buy this thing? She had to drag a large pile of paper along with her.
“It’s for women,”
“Ahem, I’ll go back and take a look.”
Ji Shuisheng coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. He was too embarrassed to ride the horse alongside Su Qing and ran to the team’s shelter first.
Fortunately, his face was dark. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be to look like a red-faced monkey?
Su Qing looked at his sorry figure and couldn’t help but smile. So a man as hard as steel would be shy?
“Su Qing is back.”
Su Qing had just arrived when she saw the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove coming out of the forest. It seemed like they were about to set off.
Someone shouted excitedly when they saw her return. The person with the loud voice was Li Daniu, who idolized Su Qing. When that guy saw Su Qing, he saw his idol as a fan. His eyes were bright, and his mouth was wide.
“Big sister.”
Ji Xiaoying ran over happily and called her ‘big sister’ in a sweet and crisp voice.
“You came back with my big brother?”
The little girl’s thoughts were simple. Big brother and sister Su Qing came back one after another, so they must have come back together.
“Yes.”
Su Qing didn’t explain and jumped off the horse. The villagers noticed the things on Su Qing’s back. The two food boxes looked high-quality.
