Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing’s expressions turned cold. The two turned around to look at the charging Tartan soldiers and prepared for battle.
The Tartan soldier running at the front shouted at Ji Shuisheng,
“Esteemed guest, the Empress invites you to follow us back to the palace to save her.”
What was going on?
Ji Shuisheng was stunned. Save her? Save who?
While puzzled, the Tartan soldier had already caught up to his horse. Because the horse was running too fast, it suddenly retracted its upper body and stood, letting out a thud.
“Sir, you’ve found the wrong person, haven’t you? I’m not a doctor. I can’t save people.”
Ji Shuisheng saw that the Tartan soldier had no ill intentions and cupped his hands in greeting.
However, it was useless to decline. The Tartan soldiers were determined to invite him back.
“Sir, don’t be modest. Quickly come back with us. The Empress is very anxious. If you can save the princess, the reward will be yours.”
Save the princess?
Su Qing raised her eyebrows and realized why they were looking for Ji Shuisheng.
She pressed on the princess’s acupuncture point. The doctors of Tartan did not know how to cure the acupuncture point. They would blame the Han people if they could not cure the princess.
The Empress mistakenly thought he knew medicine the last time Ji Shuisheng saved the Second Prince. He was also a Han, so the Empress placed her hopes on him.
The Empress probably knew that Ji Shuisheng had come to Tartan for business, so she sent people to find him to save the princess.
This money was earned!
Once the four hours were up, the princess’s acupuncture points would automatically be unlocked. It was estimated that Shuisheng would be able to return with them. It was equivalent to picking up money for nothing.
Ji Shuisheng was caught in a dilemma. If the Empress sent someone to invite him, he could forget about doing business in Tartan in the future. Although this group of Tartan soldiers was very polite, they would immediately change their attitude if he did not go.
If he went, Ji Shuisheng was worried that Su Qing would not be able to drive the carriages back alone.
He turned around to look at Su Qing and saw Su Qing nodding at him. Did she agree to let him go?
Ji Shuisheng jumped off the carriage and cupped his hands at the Tartan soldier.
“Allow me to inform my friend.”
“Alright, please hurry.”
The Tartan soldier nodded. He did not make things too difficult for Ji Shuisheng, but his expression was very anxious.
Ji Shuisheng nodded in agreement and walked towards Su Qing with giant strides. He went to Su Qing’s carriage and asked with concern,
“Can you drive the car back by yourself?”
“No problem.”
Su Qing nodded. She still had Xiao Qi’s help.
Xiao Qi heard Su Qing’s thoughts in the system and danced excitedly. Master thought of her again!
“I have pressed princess’ mute acupoint and immobilizing acupoint. You can undo it when you go there. You only need to take two pills to fool her.”
Su Qing gave Ji Shuisheng two regular digestive pills and said to him in a voice only the two could hear.
“Alright.”
Ji Shuisheng held the pill in his hand without batting an eyelid. His bright eyes looked into Su Qing’s eyes and said,
“Wait for me to come back. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.”
Su Qing nodded and watched Ji Shuisheng and the Tartan soldiers return to Tacheng. She only let Xiao Qi come out after they were far away.
The position of the carriage changed. Xiao Qi drove the last carriage while she went to the first carriage.
When Su Qing drove the five carriages to Mo City, the soldiers guarding the city immediately became alert when they saw a Tartan approaching.
“Don’t come near, or you’ll be killed without mercy.”
“It’s me, Su Qing.”
In her own voice, Su Qing shouted at the top of the city wall. Others might not know these soldiers, but they were all too familiar with Su Qing, who had saved their lives.
He didn’t understand how she had become a bearded man from Tartan.
However, he still called for the guards to open the gate for Su Qing.
When the soldiers saw Xiao Fatty Qi sitting in the last carriage with a horsewhip in her arms and driving it dignifiedly, they were all petrified.
What kind of animal was that?
Like a rabbit? Like cats and dogs? Not exactly. It was cuter than cats and dogs. It was fat and round, and its fur was even more beautiful than a white fox’s. Its amber eyes were round, and it would smile at them. When the wind blew, it was like snowflakes fluttering.
Was that a smile?
That seemed to be the case. The little fellow’s mouth was wide open, and her eyes were curved. Was she even waving at them?
That chubby little paw was like a baby’s tiny hand. It was short, plump, and snow-white, making people want to go over and pinch it.
Xiao Qi greeted them happily under the shocked gazes of the soldiers and entered the city happily.
So many people welcomed it! Look at how popular it is!
Su Qing didn’t know that Xiao Qi was being cocky behind her. She drove the carriages straight to the courtyard entrance where Yang Zhi lived. She exited the carriage and tied the horse to the tree at the entrance.
Yang Zhi and the escorts were practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Today, they went to help with the work on the city wall and found no work. All the places that needed to be consolidated had been repaired. These days, they have helped a lot.
There were still two days left before the appointment with Su Qing. He suddenly had nothing to do and felt uncomfortable staying there. He simply practiced in the courtyard to kill time.
“Brother Yang.”
Su Qing pushed the door open and entered the courtyard. The weather was already so cold. The north wind was like a knife that scratched people’s faces. These men were practicing bare-chested, and their heads were covered in sweat.
“You’re back?”
Seeing Su Qing turn around, Yang Zhi was amused. He quickly put on the clothes that had fallen to his waist. After all, she was a big girl. It was not appropriate for him to be half-naked.
Su Qing was led into the room by Yang, and said to him,
“Brother Yang, I’ve already brought the goods back. Please take them back to Luo City and give them to Second Master Su for him to help sell. The money for the escort will be the same this time. When the time comes, deduct it from the payment.”
Su Qing went straight to the point and didn’t want to waste everyone’s time.
“Alright.”
Yang Zhi liked Su Qing’s carefree spirit. She said she would let him catch the dart with his feet, and he did it.
However, he also said the ugly words first, “The government does not allow individuals to buy and transport grain in large quantities. What if we cannot transport it out?”
“This is easy to deal with. Personal transactions are not allowed, but grain stores are allowed to purchase goods. I’ll bring the procedures of the grain store and the government’s permission for you to take it back.”
Su Qing had been thinking about this on the way back and had already thought of a solution to the problem.
Individuals were not allowed to buy and sell grain, but grain stores could purchase grain. Now that the Zhizhou of the government office was empty, they were in charge of the government office. It was too easy to get a permit to open a grain store.
“That’s fine. As long as you have the permission and procedures of the grain store, you can transport the grain.”
Yang rubbed his head and hands. He did not expect a little girl to have such a way.
“I promised to treat Second Master Su’s wife. Now that the medicine is ready, I’ll return and make it into pills. I’ll have to trouble Brother Yang to help take it back to Madam Su.”
Su Qing said to Yang Zhi. This person was a good friend of her father and was trustworthy. She could rest assured if she gave the medicine to him.
Initially, she should have personally sent the medicine back to her mother, but she was now a wanted criminal. She feared that she would implicate them and could only ask Brother Yang to help take it back.
“Alright.”
Yang Zhi nodded in agreement. Su Qing got up and left after finishing her business.
“Big Brother Yang, I’ve prepared some food and wine to send everyone off tonight.”
“Thank you.”
Yang stood up and thanked Su Qing. He thought that Su Qing was talking about food and wine.. Where could he buy meat and vegetables in Mo City?
