Qin Feng laughed bitterly. They must have thought he was greedy for glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, so they were unwilling to help Xiao Heng plead for mercy!
“Grandfather helped my father and mother to plead for mercy back then, but since the Emperor intended to get rid of my father, why would he listen to grandfather’s plea?”
Ji Shuishcng explained on behalf of his grandfather, but Qu Da and Jiang Cheng didn’t buy it. They still looked at Qin Feng angrily.
” He was afraid of death back then. If he wanted to admonish your father with his life, how could your father have died so miserably? ”
Qin Feng was speechless in the face of Qu Da’s misunderstanding. How could he know he didn’t use his life to admonish and plead for mercy for his son-in-law and daughter?
“It was just that Zhong Zhenfcng had been incited by Wan Yulin and led troops to attack the city to save him, which confirmed Xiao Heng’s crime of rebellion. When the Emperor was furious, it was useless no matter who pleaded for mercy.”
“In that situation, it was useless for anyone to plead for mercy.”
Ji Shuishcng understood his grandfather very well. His foster father had said that it was his grandfather who had sent people to inform him to save the child before the Xiao family was executed and had also helped him create an opportunity to save himself and Xiaoying.
Therefore, his grandfather endured humiliation, not because he feared death. He also did it to protect his father’s tiger head seal and avenge his parents.
Qu Da and Jiang Cheng still didn’t understand and didn’t want to talk to Qin Feng. Qin Feng was helpless and believed that they would understand his painstaking efforts in the future.
If it weren’t for Wan Yulin’s cunning and the Wan family’s Army’s power, he would have found an opportunity to move to the Wan family to avenge Xiao Heng and Ling’er.
If he failed at the last step, his explanation would be useless.
Madam Li recognized that Qu Da and Jiang Cheng were in tears. When Qu Da and Jiang Cheng saw that Madam Li was still alive, they were excited and knelt to call her second sister-in-law. It was a touching scene.
On the way, Ji Shuishcng explained to Qu Da why his grandfather would appear on his team.
When he heard that the old master Qin had fallen into a difficult situation for the people and that the person who had harmed the old master was Wan Yulin, Qu Da’s face was still tense, but the expression in his eyes loosened.
The team left the mountain where Qu Da had lived. Qu Da and the others had dressed casually and looked like ordinary villagers, but they had not lost their weapons.
Right now, the people outside arc killing the victims. It was hazardous to go out with a weapon. If he threw away his weapon and were killed by the soldiers, it would be equivalent to cutting off his limbs. There would be danger left and right. He would not just sit and wait for death if he kept his knife.
Ji Shuishcng and Qiu Yongkang discussed and thought of a way. They would find a customs clearance document from the escort agency and return to make a copy. It would make sense for the escort agency to escort goods with a knife. This way, Qu Da and the others would also have an identity.
Moreover, they also had to change their clothes. If they changed into good clothes, they would look like rich people moving houses instead of running away. It would be safer.
Once they left the mountains, they would arrive at Luo city. Ji Shuishcng and Qiu Yongkang changed into the good clothes Su Qing had bought and entered the city. On the one hand, they were looking for a customs clearance document from the bodyguard agency, and on the other hand, they were buying some salt and daily necessities.
Zhong Yong wanted to follow but was ordered to stay by Ji Shuishcng with a dark expression. Zhong Yong pouted and stayed behind, looking very aggrieved.
Now that Qu Da and the others had joined the Peach Blossom group, even if Ji Shuishcng left, he did not need to worry about the safety of the villagers as they would protect them.
“I’ll go with you.”
Su Qing had a remarkable idea. Su Qing suddenly said. Along the way, she made a pearl necklace out of pearls. It was made of white pearls of the same size, and the most prominent pink Pearl was in the middle. Outside the pink Pearl, three layers of flower petals were impaled by tiny pearls, making it look like a blooming flower. It added a sense of nobility to the necklace and had a bit of spiritual energy. It should be able to sell for a lot of money.
After Su Qing finished making the necklace, the Peach Blossom ladies were stunned. It was too beautiful.
Xiaoying took the necklace and put it on her sister’s neck.
“Sister, keep it for yourself. It’s so pretty!”
“Xiaoying, do you like it?”
Su Qing looked at Xiao Ying’s bright eyes. She liked this necklace. If she liked it, she wouldn’t be selling it.
“I don’t like it.”
Xiaoying shook her head against her will. After spending so much time with her, Xiaoying realized that if she said that sister Su Qing would give her something she liked, she would never dare to say what she wanted again!
Especially this necklace. It was tough for her sister to string the necklace by the fire while others slept at night.
“Then I’ll sell it.”
Seeing that Xiaoying didn’t like it, Su Qing decided to sell it for money. She didn’t like these long-winded things and felt they were a burden.
Ji Shuishcng saw that Su Qing would sell the necklace she had worked so hard to make. The necklace was gorgeous, and Su Qing would look good wearing it.
“You can keep it!”
Ji Shuishcng whispered to Su Qing. Su Qing shook her head,
“I’m wearing men’s clothes now, and this necklace doesn’t look right. I don’t have a place to sell it.”
Ji Shuishcng looked at Su Qing strangely. There was no reluctance in her eyes. Such a beautiful necklace was not as attractive as silver in her eyes.
What woman didn’t like jewelry?
Su Qing had to change as well. She removed her sackcloth and put on the blue silk gown that master Qi had bought for her.
With this set of clothes, she could no longer look like a wild man. Su Qing washed off the disguise on her face and revealed her beautiful appearance.
Su Qing did a simple makeup. She thickened her brows, elongated her eyes, and raised the corners. She didn’t have to do anything else, and her appearance had changed.
With a hat on, she looked like a handsome young master. Old master Qi had bought a complete set of clothes and a pair of black cloth boots. Su Qing walked out of the woods after changing. No one in Peach Blossom Cove recognized her.
The girls’ eyes lit up when they saw the handsome young master. They were used to seeing the rough men in the village, so their eyes lit up when they suddenly saw such an elegant young master.
However, Ji Shuishcng recognized su Qing at a glance. Su Qing’s eyes were different from others. Her eyes were exceptionally bright and filled with determination and courage. They were especially cold and had a sense of pride. “Let’s go!”
Ji Shuishcng was now used to Su Qing’s abilities. He knew she would not be in danger even if she entered the city alone, so he was at ease and took her into the city.
“Sister?”
When Ji Xiaoying heard her brother’s words, she reacted and excitedly called out to Su Qing. Su Qing smiled at her, and Ji Shuishcng’s gaze was completely drawn over.
A smile that could topple a city and another smile that could overturn a country.
Even in Men’s Clothing, Su Qing still looked stunning.
“Miss Su, do you have any medicine to change our appearance? The government has issued a warrant for us, afraid that we would cause trouble for everyone.”
When Qu Da saw that Su Qing could change her appearance, he cupped his hands in front of his chest.
“Just take this medicine.”
Su Qing feared the authorities would notice Qu Da and the others’ looks. She didn’t know the authorities had issued a warrant for them, but she felt they were bandits. If they were recognized, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Initially, she wanted to pass the medicine to them through Ji Shuishcng, but it was even better now that he asked for it himself.
Ji Shuishcng’s current appearance was rough, but it didn’t matter if a person who ran a business all year round had a darker face than others. His temperament was also not like that of a village man in the mountains, and he had an imposing appearance.
Qiu Yongkang didn’t need to disguise himself. He looked like an elegant young master after he changed into his clothes.
After settling down with the people from Peach Blossom, the three of them took the travel passes and headed to Luo City together. They were stopped at the city gate
