131  Chapter 131.  Women Are Naturally Good at Acting

"I don't want you to ruin my plans."

Su Qing looked at him expressionlessly and spoke arrogantly, but Li Wu was touched. He cupped his hands and thanked Su Qing,

"Thank you, Miss, but Master said you can't take the risk."

"Why should I listen to him?"

Su Qing glanced at him and asked with a cold face.

Li Wu didn't know how to reply. This girl's temper was still so strange.

"You can say that later."

Su Qing whispered to Li Wu, and Li Wu nodded as he listened. Hope rose in his heart. Perhaps Su Qing could save the old master!

"Su Qing."

Ji Shuisheng handed the black wooden box to Su Qing,

"You stay here and help me take care of the villagers. I'll go and save them."

"Let's go together."

Su Qing refused without explanation and took the wooden box from Ji Shuisheng's hands. He felt that this was an essential thing and might be of great help to Ji Shuisheng. It was easier to lose it outside, but putting it in the system was safer.

Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing was insistent and didn't try to persuade her anymore. Otherwise, if they argued, others would hear them, and he couldn't stop Su Qing.

"I looked at the map just now. Those people will escort old Qin to the capital and must go through An City to Liu Prefecture. They will take a break if they can't reach the middle of Liu Prefecture in a day. Let's take advantage of their break to take action."

Ji Shuisheng took a map and pointed at the road between An City and the willow branch as he spoke to Su Qing and Li Wu.

"Yes, I can."

Su Qing nodded. It would be easy if they didn't enter the city. If they entered the city to save people, it would be troublesome.

"If we can't do anything during this period, we'll have to do it between Liu Zhou and Bing Zhou,"

Ji Shuisheng then pointed at the route between Liu Zhou and Bing Zhou. There was a mountain road that they had to pass through, so they could set up an ambush there earlier.

"Let the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove go to Su Zhou. Two routes can ensure their safety."

Su Qing pointed at the road from An City to Su Zhou and to Liu Zhou. It was a completely different direction. Ji Shuisheng nodded. "Alright, I will inform Qiu Yongkang."

After the three of them made their decision, Li Wu suddenly cried out,

"Su Qing, your father is very sick. Go and pick him up! If you're late, you won't be able to see him for the last time."

"Ah? What happened to my father? Second uncle, hurry up and tell me. "

Su Qing's cold demeanor turned into anxiety. She was worried about her father. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked anxious.

Ji Shuisheng touched his nose. Women were naturally good at acting.

Qiu Yue and Ji Xiaoying had just come out of the forest when they heard Li Wu's sobbing voice and Su Qing's anxious voice.

Ji Xiaoying instantly understood why sister Su Qing wanted her to say that. It was to leave.

Qiu Yue looked at Su Qing's carriage suspiciously. She had secretly asked Ji Xiaoying who the man was in the forest. Xiaoying also mentioned her second uncle. Could he be Su Qing's second uncle?

However, she still felt that something was strange!

She had never heard Su Qing mention that she had a family, so how did a second uncle suddenly appear? She even suddenly said that she was going to pick up her father.

Since Su Qing had a family, why didn't she go home after her divorce? Why did she have to escape with them?

Madam Li followed Ji Xiaoying silently. She turned to look at Qiu Yue. Even though she could not see Qiu Yue's face clearly, Madam Li could sense that this woman was hostile towards Su Qing.

In the forest, she tried to lure Xiao Ying into telling her about the man Su Qing had brought back, and Madam Li wanted to remind Su Qing.

"Su Qing, let's go. I'll help you find your father."

Ji Shuisheng's voice rang out, and Qiu Yue clenched her clothes tightly. Why wouldShuisheng bring Su Qing's father back?

"Thank you so much. Let's go now!"

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng echoed each other, and old master Qiu sent Qiu Yongkang over to ask what had happened.

"I was busy escaping and couldn't find my family. I just saw second uncle. He's been hungry for days and has fainted. Second uncle just woke up and said that my father is very sick and asked me to pick him up quickly."

Su Qing's voice was neither loud nor soft to ensure everyone in Peach Blossom Cove could hear her. She appeared very anxious, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She fooled even Qiu Yongkang, and he quickly comforted her,

"Su Qing, don't worry. We'll wait for you guys."

"Yongkang, take the team and head to Su province. Don't wait for us on the way; wait for us at Su province."

Ji Shuisheng was afraid they would be waiting on the road and quickly told them to leave first.

"Alright, then we'll wait for you in Su province."

Qiu Yongkang glanced at Li Wu, who was wiping away his tears with his head lowered.

Qiu Yongkang was also suspicious, but he didn't ask. He only needed to do the logistics and take care of the people of Peach Blossom Cove to help Shuisheng. Shuisheng and Su Qing had important things to do.

"Big brother, I'll go too."

Zhong Yong ran over with two iron hammers in his hands. "It's good to follow big brother; it's exciting to follow big brother."

"No, you stay here to protect Juan Zi and the others."

Ji Shuisheng specifically mentioned that Zhong Yong's mother could only hold back Zhong Yong. As expected, when Zhong Yong heard his mother's name, he no longer insisted on following Ji Shuisheng. He looked at Ji Shuisheng with a reluctant expression, like an abandoned puppy.

"Remember this."

Ji Shuisheng instructed worriedly. Zhong Yong immediately nodded.

"I won't tell even if you beat me to death."

Su Qing looked at the two of them strangely. Shuisheng had taught Zhong Yong well.

Ji Shuisheng went over to speak to old master Qiu before returning to drive the carriage away with Su Qing and Li Wu.

"She didn't even eat. Su Qing is anxious."

Aunt Qiu and the others were busy cooking. They discussed in low voices when they saw Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng leave without eating.

Auntie Li was worried that Su Qing wouldn't be able to see her father one last time, but she didn't want to say anything inauspicious.

"Su Qing's medical skills are so good. She will be able to cure her father."

Qiu Yue looked at Ji Shuisheng driving the carriage away resentfully. He did not even look at her when he passed by her. His heart and eyes were filled with Su Qing. He was even so concerned about her family's matters. He left Peach Blossom Cove's people behind and picked up Su Qing's father.

Ji Shuisheng led Su Qing and Li Wu away from the Peach Blossom Cove troops and headed toward the Liu Prefecture. Along the way, they saw many commoners fleeing for their lives. They were all discussing the matter of old Qin letting the Barbarian people in and cursing.

Li Wu's eyes turned red as he listened. General Xiao and the old master were both excellent people dedicated to the people, but the people scolded him. The reputation that old master valued the most in his life was destroyed by the Wan family's father and son. Why were the heavens blind?

They had been loyal to the Emperor and loved the country all their lives, but they were accused of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. The father and son of the Wan family were beasts and had caused great harm to people.

The group escorting old Qin didn't go too far because they wanted to humiliate old Qin and let him hear the people's curses, tormenting his body and mind. More importantly, they wanted the people along the way to write letters asking for old Qin to be severely punished, so they delayed the time.

As the sun set in the West, the escort team was still tens of miles away from Liu province. They could not make it in time, so they decided to find a safe place to set up camp and rest.

After they prepared to set up camp, they immediately changed their attitude toward the
