68 Chapter 68. The System is Really Sending Charcoal in The Snow
Gasoline? Black gunpowder?
The system knew this would be a tough battle, so it only gave her practical items. Gasoline could be made into Molotov cocktails, and black powder could be made into bombs.
These two things were what he urgently needed right now. Otherwise, the other party had thousands of soldiers and horses, and they only had twenty to thirty people. They were outnumbered, and even if they could fight ten people at once, they could not stop the other party’s attack.
The system was sending charcoal in the snow!
Su Qing looked at the bailiffs and constables, who were already making a fuss about leaving. Li Wu and the two guards were unable to stop them.
“Xiao Qi, make me some sleeping powder and 23 black pills.”
Su Qing gave Xiao Qi an order. Xiao Qi wriggled her chubby little butt and ran around the system with her short legs. Although Xiao Qi was fat and stupid, she quickly made medicine. Her two little hands clenched tightly, and she promptly made the knockout powder, wrapped it in paper, and sent it out of the system.
“Master, the Super domineering soft bone is here. It’ll make people’s bodies go limp and let you do whatever you want.”
Xiao Qi felt like an old lady trying to sell her melon, waiting for her master to praise her. However, Su Qing ignored her and walked towards the bailiffs, Li Wu, and the others with the knockout powder.
Xiao Qi’s bare head was depressed, and she twisted her fat body to follow the master’s orders.
Xiao Qi blinked its big agate blue eyes. It had forgotten to ask its master what medicine it was supposed to make. Since its master said nothing, it would make some fall injury pills! Master has a tough battle to fight later, so that it will be useful.
Su Qing didn’t know what Xiao Qi was thinking. She took the drug and walked to Li Wu’s side, ordering in a low voice,
“The three of you, back up.”
Li Wu was taken aback. The three of them were almost unable to hold off these bailiffs, so how could a young lady like Su Qing do it?
“Lady Su?”
Li Wu wanted to ask Su Qing what she was doing. Su Qing’s cold glare scared him so much that he dared not ask. He waved at the other two guards, and they retreated a step behind Su Qing. If there were any danger, they would be able to help her at any time.
When the bailiffs and constables saw that Su Qing had stopped them, they thought she would use her tongue to get them to stay and die. They were just about to say, ‘Don’t say anything. Even if you say anything, we still have to leave. Our lives are more important.’
But before they could say anything, they saw Su Qing open a paper bag. The paper bag was filled with white medicinal powder. What was this?
The bailiffs and constables were looking at Su Qing suspiciously when they saw her wave the white medicinal powder in her hand, and the wind blew it toward them. The bailiffs had a bad feeling and wanted to run, but it was too late. When the medicinal powder entered their noses, they felt their bodies go soft and could not move. They looked at Su Qing in shock. What did this woman do to them?
Old Qin was stunned by Su Qing’s actions. Was he angry that they didn’t want to stay and tried to kill them?
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Su Qing took out a bag of small black pills. She walked over expressionlessly and gave each bailiff a pill.
The constables watched helplessly as Su Qing fed them the medicine. They had no idea what Su Qing had fed them. It would not be good medicine.
After Su Qing fed them the medicine, she gave them the antidote to the bone-softening powder. As they felt their strength return, these bailiffs and constables dug their throats with all their might, trying to spit out the medicine.
“Blargh, blargh …”
They vomited for a long time, but the medicine did not come out. They looked at Su Qing in horror, their eyes filled with hatred.
Su Qing placed her hands behind his back and said coldly,
” The medicine has melted in your mouth and merged into your blood.”
“You woman, why do you want to harm me?”
The bailiffs were furious. They were ready to fight Su Qing to death with their blades. Old Qin had no idea what Su Qing was up to. However, seeing how confident she was, old Qin didn’t say anything and trusted her.
This girl had extraordinary courage and schemes. Perhaps she could solve today’s problem.
“I gave you the three days gut-cutting poison. If you don’t get the antidote in three days, you will die a miserable death. You will scratch every piece of skin on your body and cut open your intestines to die quickly. I am the only one who has the antidote.”
Su Qing’s hands were behind her back, and her chin was slightly raised. Her cold, moist eyes swept over the bailiffs who wanted her life, and her words were like a cold wind blowing.
Su Qing’s words scared the few government officials who wanted to kill her. They heard her describe how terrifying the poison was. If they killed Su Qing, they would die without a doubt.
The bailiffs immediately threw down their steel knives and begged Su Qing for mercy. Su Qing coldly waited for them to finish before she said,
“If you want to live, then listen to Milord. If the protector-general disobeys orders and enters the city, he will be punished for the rebellion. You will be considered heroes if you work together to drive away the protector-general. Not only will the crimes you and Guo Gang have committed over the years be removed, but you will also be rewarded. This is your chance to make a name for yourself. You can decide for yourself whether you want to live or die.”
Master Qin looked at Su Qing with admiration. This girl was amazing. She was so fluent in using both carrot and stick. Even men were inferior to her.
“We’ll listen to you, Sir.”
The twenty-some bailiffs struggled for a long time before coming to a decision. Although listening to this Daren’s words and opposing the guards might still lead to death, there was still a chance of survival. If they helped the evildoers and the guards fight Daren, they would undoubtedly die and even implicate their entire family.
Moreover, they were still tempted by their achievements. His Excellency would not leave any room for escape. How could such a high-ranking official behead the Lieutenant and arrest the county magistrate without bringing anyone? There must be some arrangements.
“Good. Now, listen to my order and lock the estate gates.”
Su Qing ordered coldly when she saw that these people were obedient.
Master Qin still didn’t know what Su Qing would do next. But he didn’t stop her.
“Do you have an Armory?”
Su Qing called out to the head runner and asked him loudly.
“Yes, it’s in the backyard of the government office.”
The head bailiff answered quickly. After seeing Su Qing’s methods, he hated and feared her but did not dare disobey her orders.
Su Qing asked again,
“Do you have a bow?”
“There is.”
“How much?”
“Twenty bows and more than three hundred arrows.”
Su Qing asked, and the bailiff answered, and she got the answer she wanted. Su Qing nodded,
“Go and bring out all the bows, arrows, and butter used for lighting the lamps.”
Butter was used as a cover. There was no gasoline in this era, so she had to have a good reason for throwing the Molotov cocktail. Butter was her excuse.
Old Qin raised his eyebrows. It was a good idea, but it would be useless even if they had fire arrows. They had few people, and the other side had too many people. If you killed one, there would be ten more people rushing over.
“Xiaoying, follow your big brother and the others out of the government residence. Leave the city as fast as you can. After you leave the city, don’t delay and leave quickly.”
Su Qing decided to stay behind to help old Qin. She did not want to implicate Xiaoying. She was just an ordinary person and should not be dragged into this.
Although Ji Shuisheng was powerful, he had no obligation to help old Qin. Moreover, he seemed to be carrying hatred, so he could not implicate him.
“I’m not leaving. I want to help my sister beat up the bad guys.”
