After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

Chapter 134. Reuniting

Su Qing coldly replied,

“Dissolving the corpses.”

Old master Qin was shocked after hearing this. It was the first time he had heard of such a way to deal with a corpse. No trace and no corpse were found. This was the best way.

It was not the first time Su Qing had shocked him, but it was more unexpected each time than the last.

“Take your medicine.”

Su Qing’s voice was getting impatient. The old man had drunk all the water but refused to take medicine.

“You should keep this medicine. It’s a waste for someone who’s going to die.”

Old Qin returned the medicine to Su Qing with a mournful expression. Su Qing raised his eyebrows,

“You still want to go back and die?”

“The whole world is the king’s territory; where can I escape? I don’t want to implicate you. As long as I can live to see his Majesty, I will have the opportunity to bring down the Wan family.”

Elder Qin bowed to the sky. He still had a glimmer of hope for the current Emperor.

“Old master, stop deceiving yourself. The ten thousand people’s edict has already confirmed your crime of treason. The Emperor will not let you off.”

Ji Shuisheng walked over with a secret letter that he had found on the bodies of the armored soldiers. Wan Yulin had secretly ordered them to collect the letter of ten thousand people along the way and to hand Qin Feng over to the Prime Minister when they reached the capital, not allowing him to meet the Emperor alone.

Elder Qin’s eyes were filled with grief and anger when he saw the secret letter. This scene was the same as the one from sixteen years ago. This was how they had caused the death of General Xiao Heng.

Ji Shuisheng looked into old Qin’s eyes and asked,

“Do you still have any hope for this dynasty? Do you still want to be loyal to such an incapable ruler?”

Old Qin was stunned by Ji Shuisheng’s question. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head,

“My life or death is not important. If I escape, the hundreds of people in my clan will be implicated. His Majesty might spare them if I die because of my master and disciple.”

Ji Shuisheng squatted down to look at old Qin and advised him in a low voice,

“That won’t happen. If your crime is confirmed, then your clansmen will also die. However, your clansmen will not die so quickly if you’re not found dead or alive.”

“I don’t want to drag you guys down. I’ve already accepted life and death.”

Old Qin looked at Ji Shuisheng with a kind gaze and slowly shook his head.

Su Qing said coldly,

“You’re already a dead man.”

Qin Feng looked at Su Qing in confusion. Why did she say that?

Li Wu ran back, panting heavily. Seeing that his master had woken up, he knelt on the ground and called out excitedly,

“Master!”

When he saw his loyal servant of many years, Qin Feng’s eyes brimmed with tears. He patted Li Wu’s shoulder with a trembling hand.

“You’re done?”

Su Qing asked Li Wu. She didn’t care much about these life-and-death situations and only cared about the things she arranged.

“It’s done. I drove the prison cart off the cliff, and it has already broken into pieces.”

“Yes,” Li Wu agreed immediately. He admired Su Qing, and his voice was respectful, just like how one would treat a master.

“Alright!”

Su Qing nodded and looked at Ji Shuisheng,

“You’ve dealt with the bodies?”

“I’m done. I’ve buried their weapons in a secret place. I’ve also cleaned up the blood on the ground. We can go now.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. He felt pity for those weapons, but he had no choice. He could be exposed if he kept these weapons, so he could only bear the pain and bury them.

Ji Shuisheng went over and carried old master Qin on his back. He was tall and strong, but it did not affect his speed even when no traces were left, she followed them and left.

He sighed in his heart. Old master Qin had already understood Su carrying old master Qin.

Su Qing was still worried and went to check again. After ensuring no traces were left, she followed them and left.

He sighed in his heart. Old master Qin had already understood Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng’s plan. They didn’t understand Wan Yulin, and he wouldn’t easily believe that the corpse was his. He would investigate.

Old master Qin did not want to implicate these children the most. After walking for a while, the old master ordered Ji Shuisheng sternly,

“Put me down; I don’t need you to save me.”

“Old man, what’s in that wooden box? Why are you giving it to me?”

Ji Shuisheng felt some things should be clarified, so he didn’t listen to old Qin’s order and instead asked him. Old Qin was silent for a moment and only said, after a long time,

“Because you are a little like that person.”

“Who?”

Ji Shuisheng’s voice trembled when he heard old Qin’s words. The arm carrying old Qin couldn’t help but tighten as he waited expectantly for old Qin’s reply.

Old Qin’s voice was filled with grief and anger.

“Just like my Godson-in-law. The brave and invincible General Xiao who protected the country.”

Ji Shuisheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His heart was surging, and he could not suppress his excitement. His throat seemed to be choked by someone.

“Child, you are … Your heroic spirit is similar to his.”

Old Qin’s voice was very sorrowful. He choked on his words several times before he could finish speaking, but his tears could no longer be held back.

For the past 16 years, the old master had always tried to find them. However, it had been 16 years, and there was no news of them at all. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Since he saw Xiaoying, the old man’s longing for her became even more uncontrollable. He only held on to a glimmer of hope that Ji Shuisheng and Xiaoying were his Grandgod-son and granddaughter.

He was the one who kept the item in the box for his grandson. He hoped to see him in his lifetime and hand it to him personally.

“I also hope that I can be like the indomitable General Xiao. Since that wooden box belongs to your grandson, you should give it to him personally.”

Ji Shuisheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his low voice trembled slightly.

“Hand it to him personally?”

The old man’s eyes were dazed for a moment. Did he still recognize the wrong person?

“That’s right. First, you have to stay alive. Don’t worry; we’ve already prepared an identity for you. You won’t be found out.”

Ji Shuisheng had already recovered from his excitement and spoke to the old master in a deep voice.

“As long as you’re alive, you’ll be able to see the person you want to see. As long as you’re alive, you’ll have the hope of seeing me avenge my father.”

The resonant and powerful voice was filled with great determination. Old master Qin was moved. Yes, he could only see the person he wanted to know if he was alive. He tried to hand Xiao Heng’s belongings to his son personally.

“Take your medicine.”

This was the third time Su Qing had asked the old man to take medicine. Her voice was extremely impatient. This old man was the most disobedient patient.

Old Qin had already regained his fighting spirit and wanted to live. He immediately put the pill into his mouth obediently. The pill melted in his mouth. It was sweet and had a delicate fragrance. After swallowing it down his throat, he felt the heavy feeling in his chest was gone. The weakness in his body and the fatigue in his mind were all gone.

It was as if his entire person had turned younger by a few decades and was rejuvenated with vitality. The old master excitedly pushed Ji Shuisheng,

“Put me down; I can walk.”

Ji Shuisheng hesitated momentarily before carefully putting down the old man. His hand was always protecting the old man’s side. If he fell, he would be able to catch him immediately.

Su Qing glanced at Ji Shuisheng. His attitude towards the old man had significantly changed. In the past, he only respected him but kept a distance. Now, his eyes were full of the old man. His eyes were filled with heartache and concern. It was a contradiction between careful care and want to get close but not daring to.
