55 Why Do You Still Take A Mere Female General Seriously?
“The Wan family Army’s people live downstairs. If I knock on the door, I will attract their attention.”
Su Qing turned around and spoke to Ji Shuisheng sternly when she heard the rustling of his clothes, as if Ji Shuisheng had already put them on.
As Su Qing spoke, he kept looking into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. As expected, when he mentioned the Wan family Army, he saw the monstrous hatred in his eyes.
“I know you hate them, but the security here is tight, and the Wan family Army is well-trained. They are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have shed blood. You may not be able to hurt the person you want to kill under the protection of these men of sacrifice, but the other party can catch us all in one fell swoop. Xiao Ying doesn’t know martial arts, so you have to think for her.”
Su Qing didn’t want to come at first, but he was afraid that Ji Shuisheng’s impulsiveness would cause a disaster and implicate Xiao Ying. He originally wanted to leave tonight, but Ji Shuisheng was already here. If they left immediately, it would arouse suspicion, so they could only deal with the changes by remaining unchanged.
Ji Shuisheng was slightly stunned, how did Su Qing know that he hated the Wan family Army? However, upon hearing her words, Ji Shuisheng loosened his clenched fists and his rationality returned to his mind.
Ji Shuisheng took a deep breath and nodded, ”
“I know.”
“The refreshments at this Inn are not bad.”
Su Qing placed the Willow basket he had brought on the table and looked deeply at Ji Shuisheng.
“Rest early. It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”
“Alright,” he said.
Ji Shuisheng nodded and watched Su Qing leave. His gaze fell on the exquisitely woven willow basket. Did Su Qing weave this?
He walked over and took out the tea and snacks from the Willow basket. His stomach was growling with hunger, so he gobbled it up unceremoniously. After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, he walked back and forth in the room, his mind filled with the scene that his foster father had told him.
The enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn’t kill him with his own hands. He gritted his teeth in hatred, and the blood that rushed to his head was suppressed by him several times. He felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his head was getting more and more muddled. He shook his head hard, but he couldn’t drive away the sleepiness.
What was going on? He couldn’t be this sleepy?
Su Qing?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he couldn’t help but fall asleep on the bed.
In Wan Yulin’s room on the second floor, Wan Yulin looked at the dancing candlelight with a sinister look in his eyes. Those good-for-nothings had caught hundreds and thousands of people, but they still hadn’t found his fourth brother’s murderer?
For the past ten years, the WAN clan could be said to have done whatever they wanted in the great Xia Kingdom. Who would dare to touch the ground above the Grand Duke and actually kill the WAN clan?
“Go and investigate the woman who is with old man Qin.”
Wan Yulin let out a breath of air and said to the guard beside him.
“Investigate her?”
The guard was obviously very surprised. Why did he take a little female general seriously?
“For that woman to be old man Qin’s distinguished guest, she’s definitely not an ordinary person. The way she looks at people is high and mighty, wild and arrogant.”
Wan Yulin didn’t know why he wanted to investigate that woman. He probably wanted to know her relationship with old man Qin!
However, this was just a small interlude. He immediately turned his attention back to his brother’s murder case.
“Bandits?”
Wan Yulin’s eyes fell on the file of the bandits. He picked it up and read it carefully, then muttered, ”
“This group of bandits said they were chasing a group of deserters? They said that there were people who were highly skilled in martial arts in the group, and one of them was a woman?”
Wan Yulin recalled Su Qing’s cold and arrogant look and wondered why he had been paying so much attention to her. She probably knew martial arts and had a strong aura, a kind of hostility that made people not dare to approach her.
When the guard heard Wan Yulin’s whisper, he asked, ”
“General, you suspect that woman killed Lord fourth?”
“We don’t know who did it yet. As long as there’s a suspicious person, we have to investigate. I don’t care who she is.”
Wan Yulin slammed his hand on the table, his whole body exuding a murderous aura.
“Yes, I’ll investigate it now.”
Su Qing returned to his room and saw that Xiao Ying was still sound asleep. A smile flashed across his eyes. This little girl was really big-hearted, sleeping so soundly in an unfamiliar environment.
Su Qing inserted the door and lay on the bed with her clothes on. She closed her eyes and went to sleep in peace. She was not worried at all that Ji Shuisheng would seek revenge on Wan because she had drugged the tea.
The next morning, just as the sky started to brighten, they could hear the neighing of horses and the footsteps of soldiers.
Su Qing suddenly opened his eyes, put on his shoes, and got off the bed. He opened the window slightly and looked down. He saw that the Wan family’s armored Army was already ready and waiting. Wan Yulin, dressed in a black suit, strode into the courtyard.
Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Was he leaving?
Just as she was looking down, Wan Yulin also raised his head to look upstairs. Su Qing dodged and felt that this man had a strong sense of perception. He could actually sense that someone was observing him?
Wan Yulin looked at the window on the third floor, which was slightly open. He could feel someone looking at him from the window. It should be the woman’s room from last night. Wan Yulin narrowed his eagle eyes and asked the guard beside him, ”
“Zhang Dongbo, how’s the investigation going?”
“Reporting to the general, I’ve already found out last night that the two women following Old Master Qin are divine doctors. I heard that they can cure Old Master Qin’s illness, so Old Master Qin treats them like guests.”
“A miracle doctor?”
Wan Yulin repeated with a frown. He didn’t think that a teenage girl was a Divine Doctor. It could be seen that Old Master Qin was old and muddled. In order to live longer, he was willing to be fooled by the charlatan.
However, he couldn’t be bothered to care about this old man’s trivial matters. As long as he could prove that the woman had nothing to do with the murder of his fourth brother, who cared who she was lying to?
Wan Yulin stepped on the stirrups and jumped onto the horse. The whip in his hand cracked in the air. The warhorse knew its master’s signal. Hearing the whip, it raised its head and neighed, then galloped out of the gate of the station.
The Wan family’s Armored Cavalry followed behind them. In an instant, the relay station became quiet, leaving only a cloud of dust.
Su Qing stood in front of the window and watched the group of people run away. He glanced sideways at the window of Ji Shuisheng’s room. The window was closed, and he should not have woken up yet.
Last night, she was worried that Ji Shuisheng wouldn’t be able to control himself, so she put a sleeping drug in the desserts. That drug was concocted by little seven. If she didn’t want Ji Shuisheng to wake up, he wouldn’t wake up for three days and three nights.
“Good Morning, sister.”
Ji Xiaoying sat up drowsily and rubbed her eyes with her slender fingers. Her soft voice still sounded sleepy.
“You’re awake? Are you hungry?”
Su Qing was in a good mood and turned to ask Ji Xiaoying with a smile.
“I’m not hungry. I ate a lot last night,”
Ji Xiaoying stuck out her tongue in embarra.s.sment. Last night, old man Qin kept putting food in her bowl, and she ate as much as he put in her bowl. She ate too much because she couldn’t stop herself.
“Get up and wash up. Your brother came last night.”
Seeing Ji Xiaoying’s adorable look, Su Qing laughed and told her about Ji Shuisheng.
“My brother is here. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
When she heard that her brother had come, Ji Xiaoying was elated. She hurriedly put on her shoes and complained about Su Qing.
“You’re sleeping too deeply, you won’t wake up.”
Su Qing’s voice had a hint of mischief in it that she did not even notice, and she looked at Ji Xiaoying with a warm smile.
Ji Xiaoying also knew that she had slept too deeply last night. The bed was so soft that it felt like she was lying in a pile of cotton. Her eyelids were stuck together by themselves.
After putting on her shoes, Ji Xiaoying ran out the door.”
“I’m going to see my brother.”
Su Qing thought of the knockout powder he had given Ji Shuisheng and could not let Ji Xiaoying go over.
