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

95 Chapter 95. Double-crossing

“General, Master Qin captured Guo Gang, executed General Sun, and ransacked county magistrate Guo’s house.”

Wan Yulin had just arrived at the relay station when he received a report from a secret agent. When he heard that Guo Gang had been arrested and General Sun executed, he only frowned and didn’t react. When he heard that Guo Gang’s house had been raided, he immediately flew into a rage,

“Where’s the silver?”

“They’ve all been confiscated.”

Seeing Wan Yulin’s angry face, the spy lowered his voice and dared not even raise his head.

Wan Yulin’s face turned black with anger as he gritted his teeth and cursed,

“Qin Feng? You old man. ”

Wan Yulin asked the spy angrily,

“What’s going on? Why did that old fart suddenly go to raid Guo Gang?”

“The cause was that Guo Gang’s son molested the two girls….”

The spy reported the entire incident to Wan Yulin. When he heard that it was because of the two girls, Wan Yulin narrowed his eyes and thought of Su Qing’s cold eyes.

“The city guards besieged the government office but left in defeat? I thought Qin Feng only had a few people. Are the city guards that useless?”

Wan Yulin didn’t believe it. Even if Jin City’s protection Army was trash, how could hundreds or thousands of people not be able to defeat the four guards that Qin Feng brought?

“I don’t know what they used, but they set the rolling wood and the people who knocked on the door on fire. They also shot two deputy commanders. The rest of the small leaders all retreated out of fear.”

The secret agent told Wan Yulin the information he had gathered. Wan Yulin looked at the undercover agent, who was very interested in this new weapon.

“What did they use? It’s so powerful?”

“He said it was vegetable oil.”

Even the spy himself found it unbelievable. Vegetable oil would not burn that much.

“Vegetable oil?”

Wan Yulin didn’t believe it either. Vegetable oil could catch fire, but it had to be very hot, and its power wasn’t great. It could burn people, but it was impossible to burn people all over.

“Find someone to try it on.”

Wan Yulin ordered his Adjutant. The experiment showed that the vegetable oil was boiling before it caught fire. When it was poured on the prisoners, they were scalded and rolled on the ground. Other than that, there was no explosion.

Wan Yulin narrowed his eyes after learning the results of the experiment. The woman next to Qin Feng must have made the poisonous arrow. He had sent people to carry the poisoned soldiers’ bodies back, but they couldn’t find out what poison it was. It was even more poisonous than white arsenic and crane’s redhead, and one would die upon contact with blood.

“General, they’ve received five hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver. The Emperor is overjoyed to reward Qin Feng with a death-exemption medallion.”

The spy sent another piece of information, which made Wan Yulin’s face turn green with anger. He smashed the table into pieces with one palm.

Wan Yulin gave a secret order,

“If you guys do this …”

The undercurrent was surging in Jin City. Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing didn’t know what had happened over there.

After walking along the mountain road for six days, he could see the city flag of Liangcheng from afar. More than half of the grain had been eaten, and the remaining could not last until they reached Jiang City, so they had to buy more in Liangcheng.

Su Qing had been feeling exhausted and powerless for the past few days. She could not afford to delay her recovery any longer. Even if her abilities as a god of war and her physical strength and mental energy continued to increase, she would still be weak. Towering trees on the outside might surround her, but she would be dead on the inside.

Therefore, she had to go into the city to buy medicine. If she couldn’t buy a thousand-year-old Lingzhi, she would buy an ordinary Lingzhi to make medicine and eat it first. She would wait until she found the thousand-year-old Lingzhi to get rid of the root of the disease.

Ji Shuisheng only wanted to bring Qiu Yongkang into the city. There weren’t many victims in Liangcheng, and they didn’t take this road, so it was relatively safe. It was enough to leave Li Daniu, Zhong Yongjiang, and the seventh brother to protect the team.

It was also the reason why he was so cautious. He forbade the villagers from entering the city and told them to rest far away from the city and wait for him and Qiu Yongkang to return.

When Ji Xiaoying heard they were entering the city, she wanted to follow them.

“Brother, take me there!”

“We’ll come out after we buy the food. Don’t go in case there are any more problems.”

Ji Shuisheng refused to agree; his little sister almost got into trouble the last time.

Ji Xiaoying tugged at Su Qing’s hand.

“Big sister, take me there!”

“You stay at home with aunt. I’ll be back after I buy some medicine.”

Su Qing didn’t want to bring Ji Xiaoying along either. Since she learned that Ji Shuisheng had a blood feud, Su Qing felt that she should hide Xiaoying.

Seeing that her sister disagreed, Ji Xiaoying was disappointed and could only obediently stay home.

Su Qing followed Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang into the city. Qiu Yue gritted her teeth in hatred. She wanted to go with him, but big brother refused, and he took Su Qing along.

Knowing that Xiaoying wanted to enter the city, Qiu Yue went to find her.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng didn’t know what was going on here. When the three of them rushed into the city, Su Qing told Ji Shuisheng,

“You guys go and buy food. I’ll go and buy medicine. I’ll find you guys after I’m done.”

“Be careful.”

Ji Shuisheng reminded her worriedly. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease letting her leave his sight. Fortunately, Su Qing was dressed as a man.

“Okay.”

Su Qing nodded and searched for a medicine shop along the street. A small medicine shop couldn’t have such expensive medicine like Lingzhi, so she had to find a big medicine shop.

The Liangcheng was a small city. It wasn’t as prosperous as Jin city, but it still had two streets. One street was full of restaurants, restaurants, clothing stores, grain stores, grocery stores, and other businesses related to the food and clothing of the residents.

The other street was filled with medical houses, medicine shops, silver shops, fur and fur warehouses, and rest stops. Su Qing walked along the limestone road to the medical house.

Unlike the street in front of her, which was full of people and carts, this street was much quieter.

Su Qing found the largest medicine store and walked over. The store’s plaque was very prominent. The three big words ” Ji Ren Tang ” were written by a famous person. The couplets written were also the kind of doctors who had a kind heart and excellent medical skills.

Su Qing was not in the mood to take a closer look. She walked into the medicine shop. She wore a regular shirt, so the shop assistant looked at her disdainfully. No one came out to greet her, and they just looked at Su Qing coldly.

Su Qing didn’t care about their attitude. These people had always looked down on others. She didn’t want to spend the cash in her hands, so she took out the Musk and placed it on the cabinet. She said to the man who looked like the shopkeeper,

“Shopkeeper, how much can you pay for this musk?”

The shopkeeper’s attitude immediately changed when he saw Su Qing take out the Musk. He picked it up and examined it with a smile. He smelled it and looked at it for a long time.

“This Musk has an ordinary color. I can’t offer you a high price, but it seems you urgently need money. I will ask the owner to give you the highest price, eighty taels of silver.”

The shopkeeper first belittled the allure of the item, then buttered up Su Qing and finally offered her 80 taels of silver.

Su Qing’s eyes turned cold. This shopkeeper was not honest and degraded the Musk to nothing. Xiao Qi said that the Musk was of the highest quality and was worth at least five hundred taels of silver.

Su Qing didn’t want to do business with him because of how dishonest he was.

“I’m not selling it.”

Su Qing reached out to take the Musk back, but the shopkeeper stepped back to avoid her hand, refusing to let go.

“Little brother, don’t be too greedy. Our medicine shop is the largest on this street. The price we can offer is something that no one else can offer. How about this, I’ll give you a hundred taels of silver, no more than that,”

“I’m not selling it; give it to me.”

Su Qing refused coldly and leaped over the cabinet to snatch the Musk. The shopkeeper’s expression changed. Seeing that Su Qing was about to leave, he suddenly attacked.

“Someone is snatching the medicine. Close the door and catch him.”
