97 Chapter 97. Trying to Frame Someone

The armored Army did not stop or avoid the fleeing troops. They charged forward, and the military flag with the word ” 10000 ” was eye-catching.

A few of the disaster victims at Peach Blossom had been trampled by the horses’ hooves and were groaning in pain as they lay on the ground.

After the armored soldiers passed by, the officer in the lead pulled the reins of his horse and turned back. He pointed the whip in his hand at the refugees and ordered his soldiers,

“Arrest this group of rioters who robbed the officials’ money,”

The disaster victims of Peach Blossom were all dumbfounded. How did they become violent mobs? And when did they rob officials?

Qiu Yongkang quickly ran over to the officer with the travel Pass and household registration.

“Sir, we are all good people. We only came out to escape because our hometown was in trouble.”

However, the officer didn’t listen to him at all. He didn’t even look at the travel Pass and household registration he handed over. He kicked Qiu Yongkang to the ground and ordered his soldiers to tie him up.

“Capture him.”

The cavalrymen jumped off their horses and tied Qiu Yongkang up. Qiu Yongkang didn’t resist, but the officer didn’t listen.

Old master Qiu and the people of Peach Blossom Cove knelt on the ground and begged, but these people would not listen. These people wanted to catch a scapegoat, so why would they listen to their excuses?

“Capture them all. Kill anyone who resists.”

If you want to punish someone, you no longer need to endure!

In the beginning, Ji Shuisheng was still holding back, but now there was no need to hold back. This steel cavalry Army had a total of twenty people. Ji Shuisheng was not confident about winning against them, but he could not care so much since he was forced to this point.

“Zhong Yong, Li Daniu, seventh brother Jiang, come with me.”

Ji Shuisheng took out his treasured saber and shouted at his good brothers, who were eager to try it. These three people were waiting for Ji Shuisheng’s order. They pulled the shovels from the cart and used the hoes to rush toward the twenty-odd armored soldiers.

The officer of the iron armor Army didn’t take them seriously. He sneered and ordered his subordinates,

“You dare to resist? Kill all of them.”

The armored Army was well-trained. They held shields and spears in their hands and rode on tall horses. The people on this side of Peach Blossom Cove were all civilians, and only Ji Shuisheng and a few others could fight. They were under the armored Army and on horses, while the other party was on the higher ground, and the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were at a disadvantage.

Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong each killed one person. Ji Shuisheng wanted to capture the leader of the bandits first. His target was that officer. He shuttled back and forth among the armored Army like a fierce leopard.

Ji Shuisheng was very smart. Since he could not reach the armored soldiers on their horses, the treasured saber in his hand was used to kill the warhorses. Along the way, he killed five warhorses, and the armored soldiers on the horses directly fell off their horses. Zhong Yong lifted them before throwing them to the ground. In one go, he crippled two armored soldiers.

Li Daniu and seventh brother Jiang were injured, but they didn’t hurt each other at all.

The women of Peach Blossom crouched into a ball, hugging each other and trembling. Other than crying, they couldn’t help at all.

“Xiaoying, look after the children. Don’t get out of the car.”

Su Qing saw that the situation wasn’t good and ordered Xiaoying to look after the children. She jumped off the carriage and rushed to the front with Ji Shuisheng’s bow and arrow. While running, he ordered Xiao Qi to make the knockout powder. Xiao Qi ran with her short legs in the system. Fortunately, her master had moved Ji Ren Tang into the system, so there was no shortage of things when she was making the medicine.

On this side, Xiao Qi was busy preparing the knockout powder. On the other side, the situation was critical. Many villagers of Peach Blossom Cove had already been stabbed and fallen to the ground by the iron-armored Army. Li Daniu and seventh brother Jiang were among them. The other party had cut off the hoes in their hands, and they could only watch as the other party’s spear stabbed toward their chest.

“Whoosh …”

Two bamboo arrows shot into the throats of two armored soldiers with a sharp wind sound. The spears almost pierced Li Daniu and seventh brother Jiang’s hearts. They were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.

After Su Qing shot and killed two ironclad soldiers, she continued to draw her bow and shoot arrows. She shot down the invulnerable soldiers who wanted to ambush Ji Shuisheng from their horses. When Zhong Yong saw another person fall, he raised his head and threw him to the ground.

Su Qing’s eyes were sharp, and her hands were quick. She quickly drew her bow and shot another arrow, shooting the soldiers about to kill Qiu Yongkang off their horses. Qiu Yongkang nodded at Su Qing gratefully. This was the second time she had saved his life.

Su Qing didn’t even look at him, but the armored Army had already discovered her. Five war horses galloped toward her, and five Spears stabbed her. Su Qing could have dodged them, but the people of Peach Blossom Cove behind her would die under the horses’ hooves.

“Go to the bottom of the ditch.”

Su Qing shouted as she jumped up and elbowed a soldier, snatching his horse and spear. Like a tiger with wings, she swung her spear and engaged the four soldiers.

The villagers were all scared out of their wits and scrambled to run into the ditch. Su Qing’s battle with the four armored soldiers boosted the morale of the men of Peach Blossom Cove. Women were fighting the armored soldiers with their lives on the line, so how could they, men, be inferior to a woman?

Their fear of the iron-armored Army had disappeared entirely, and everyone charged forward without fear of death.

“Cut off the horse’s legs.”

Su Qing shouted again. This time, the people knew how to fight and rushed to the horse’s legs to greet them. During this period, villagers from Peach Blossom Cove were impaled by pears and fell to the ground, but the armored Army also suffered many losses.

On the other side, Ji Shuisheng was fighting with the commander. The other party was also highly skilled in martial arts, but he was the commander on a horse. Ji Shuisheng had cut off his horse’s leg, and when he fell to the ground, he was no longer Ji Shuisheng’s match. Ji Shuisheng’s treasured knife pierced through his heart protection. Fortunately, he dodged quickly or would have died on the spot.

The leading military officer immediately recognized Ji Shuisheng’s treasured saber and shouted in surprise,

“Control the saber? You’re a survivor of Xiao Heng’s forces?”

“The person who wants your life.”

When he heard the other party mention, Xiao Heng, Ji Shuisheng’s eyes turned red. The attack of the treasured saber in his hand became even fiercer, beating the other party to the point where he could not resist.

The commander thought of retreating because there were also many casualties on his side. He shouted to his iron-armored Army,

“Retreat!”

Ji Shuisheng did not give him a chance to escape at all. He moved as fast as lightning and stuck close to him like a snake. The treasured saber in his hand flashed with a cold light and slit his throat. Fresh blood spurted out in an instant. The leading officer pointed at Ji Shuisheng as he unwillingly lay on the ground.

The armored soldiers followed his last order and stopped fighting because their leader had been killed. They turned their horses around and wanted to run. Su Qing saw the wind blowing towards them, so she scattered all the knockout powder Xiao Qi had made.

The armored soldiers and their warhorses were all knocked out. Ji Shuisheng and the others were hit by the wind and lying on the ground.

“Su … Young lady, they … Are they all dead?”

Old master Qiu trembled as he climbed out of the ditch. His heart ached, and he cried. When he saw the blood all over the ground and the men of Peach Blossom Cove lying on the ground, he thought they were all dead.

“No, I knocked them out.”

Su Qing explained indifferently and walked over to pick up Ji Shuisheng’s treasured saber. Her cold eyes looked at the armored Army.
