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

70 Chapter 70. Don’t Leave Anyone Alive

Master Qin ordered with a severe expression,

“You’ll listen to Lady Su.”

“Yes.”

The two guards each took a quiver and bow and led the bailiffs to the courtyards on the left and right to set up an ambush. Li Wu stayed by old Qin’s side to protect him.

“You guys go to the backyard and find a tall tree for an ambush. There’s only one alley in the backyard. Even if someone wants to attack, they can’t swarm in. You have enough time to shoot and kill.”

Su Qing picked a few more bailiffs who looked smart, including the head of the bailiffs, and ordered them to set up an ambush. They were cautious when holding the bow and arrow, fearing they would lose their lives if they touched the arrow. They would die either way if they hid their heads. They were doomed. They were on the verge of tears.

Old Qin stroked his beard and admired Su Qing’s formation. No matter her strategy, her calmness made people look at her in a new light. She was indeed a rare talent.

After Su Qing had made arrangements for them, Ji Shuisheng, Ji Xiaoying, Daniu, and Qiu Yongkang went to the front yard. Su Qing saw that Xiaoying had returned with Ji Shuisheng and frowned.

“Xiaoying, didn’t I tell you to leave quickly?”

“Big brother said he’ll stay to help you,”

Ji Xiaoying was a little afraid of Su Qing throwing a tantrum, so she hid behind her brother and used him as a shield.

“Warriors, you are not from the official’s family, so you don’t need to stay here and take the risk.”

Old Qin walked over. He kept looking at Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. They were too similar. Unfortunately, they were at least ten years apart in age. It was not him.

But no matter what, old Qin didn’t want him and Xiaoying to stay in this dangerous place.

“Old Qin, we brothers don’t have any other skills, but we can still fight. We’ll stay and use our meager strength to thank you for your porridge.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his fists. He revered the old master Qin before him, and his tone was very respectful.

“Sir, although we’re just country bumpkins, we’ll die without regrets for the country’s sake.”

Qiu Yongkang’s words made old Qin’s eyes turn red.

“Good, the great Xia Kingdom will become stronger with loyal and righteous people like you.”

Old Qin didn’t object. After all, having three more strong men was equivalent to having three more powerful helpers.

Because Ji Shuisheng, Qiu Yongkang, and the rest had decided, Su Qing didn’t persuade them to leave. They were all adults, and it was their own decision. There was no need for others to interfere. She handed the poisoned arrows to Qiu Yongkang, Li Daniu, and the rest and instructed,

“These arrowheads have been soaked in poison. Be careful when you use them. Go to the backyard and help. Without our people, I’m afraid that the back door of the bailiffs will catch fire, and we’ll let the city guards in.”

“Alright,” he said.

Qiu Yongkang accepted the bow and arrow but didn’t leave immediately. “Isn’t there too few people in the front yard?”

“Ji Shuisheng and I are enough.”

Su Qing was so conceited that even Ji Shuisheng couldn’t help but look at her.

He agreed silently. He didn’t think he and Su Qing could stop an Army of thousands. But it didn’t make sense for Su Qing to have the determination to drag them down.

“Alright then!”

Qiu Yongkang had seen Su Qing kill people before. She was clean and ruthless. She seemed powerful, so he didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He took Li Daniu and rushed to the backyard.

“Xiaoying, you stay by old Qin’s side. You’re not allowed to go anywhere.”

Su Qing was the most worried about Xiaoying. She looked at her and gave her a severe order.

“Alright,” she said.

Ji Xiaoying quickly nodded. It was fine as long as she was not chased away. She obediently stood beside old Qin.

“The two of you, protect the Lord and Xiaoying.”

Su Qing ordered two bailiffs to stand guard beside old Qin. The two bailiffs agreed readily. After all, they did not have to risk their lives outside. They were the last ones and could live longer.

In short, these bailiffs did not have confidence at this moment, and all of them were very pessimistic.

“Shuisheng, your archery skills are good. Go to the big tree next to the gate and lie in ambush. Remember, to catch the bandits, first capture the head. Pick the officials and shoot them. If the dragons don’t have a leader, they will fall into chaos. End the battle quickly.”

After making arrangements for these people, Su Qing handed Ji Shuisheng a heavy bow. She didn’t believe in other people’s archery skills, but she had seen Ji Shuisheng shoot two geese with one arrow with her own eyes. She was the most assured in the front yard. She knew that Ji Shuisheng had great strength, and if he wanted to shoot two arrows together, he needed a good bow. She didn’t realize she had followed Qiu Yongkang and the others to call him Shuisheng.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng could not help but nod in agreement. His heart beat faster when he heard Su Qing call him Shuisheng. He dared not even look at Su Qing’s cold little face. He grabbed his bow and arrow and climbed up the tree as if he was escaping.

Su Qing sent three bailiffs with bows and arrows to the roof on Ji Shuisheng’s side. She jumped onto the roof above the mansion’s gate and acted alone. She put the butter bottles into the system and asked Xiao Qi to change them to gasoline and soak the oil roll in the gasoline. Xiao Qi was very busy. She stuck out her petite butt, poured the butter gasoline, and soaked the oil roll. She was a good baby who worked hard without complaint.

After Xiao Qi sent the finished Molotov cocktail to the system, Su Qing placed the Molotov cocktail in place and waited quietly with the flint.

Just as she was ready, she heard the loud sound of horse hooves outside and the sound of infantry running. The heavy and neat footsteps sounded like many people were coming.

Su Qing lowered her head and saw three armored officers riding tall horses before the troops. Behind them were foot soldiers carrying spears and steel knives. At the back were two carriages. One was loaded with rolling wood and the other with scaling ladders. They were both used for sieging cities. They were trying to rebel.

There were at least a few hundred people in the group. The leading officer had already reached the entrance of the Yamen, but the group behind him was still endless!

A few bailiffs shivered in fear when they saw the dense mass of city guards below. There were at least a few hundred of them. How were they going to fight with just over twenty people?

Now, they were a little regretful. They might as well have run away. They could at least live for seven more days. They couldn’t even live for a day. What would happen to their mothers and children if they died? Won’t the daughter-in-law remarry? The more they thought about it, the more pessimistic they became.

People were like this; once they were afraid of death, they would lose the fighting spirit to fight, and all of them would have a look of despair.

Su Qing’s eyes turned cold. She held a Molotov cocktail in her hand. She didn’t want to use the black powder yet but ordered Xiao Qi to make it into a simple bomb.

It wasn’t the first time she had helped her master make a bomb. Thinking that she could help her master, Xiao Qi was pleased. She shook her petite butt and hummed a happy song, using the medicine bottles in the system to make simple bombs.

The system, which was supposed to save people, was led astray by Su Qing.

The guards’ leader was the Lieutenant’s brother-in-law, Wang Ziyao, and the Deputy general. Both of them looked at the closed gate of the mansion with gloomy faces. Wang Ziyao waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him, ”

“Break down the main door of the mansion and kill all the thieves holding county magistrate Guo’s family hostage. Leave no survivors.”
