Qu Da also agreed with Ji Shuisheng’s suspicion. He guessed that those people had discovered that someone was mining and forging weapons in the mountains, but they had not been found because of the traps set up by Ji Shuisheng.

“Move the things back first. 1’11 set up a few more traps.”

Ji Shui was afraid that he would have a long night, so he asked Qu Da to bring people to move things back first. Even if he knew it was dangerous, he could not give up on the iron ore he had found with incredible difficulty. He was prepared to stay for a while and set up a few more traps to ensure the safety of the iron ore.

Su Qing didn’t know that the military funds she prepared for Ji Shuisheng out of goodwill made him feel like he was facing a great enemy.

After returning to the encampment, she was busy cooking. After her cooking skills had risen to level nine, with the bonus cooking skills, any dish she cooked would be delicious. Xiaoying followed her and learned cooking.

Xiaoying was very serious in her studies, but when she followed Sister Su Qing’s method and steps to cook, the dishes she made were not as delicious as hers. They were the same seasonings, but the difference was huge.

“Sister Su Qing, I’ve been cooking according to your method. Why isn’t it as delicious as yours?”

Xiaoying’s face was full of doubt as she asked Su Qing gloomily.

“A person cooks to a distinct taste.”

Su Qing replied calmly. She had a level nine cooking skill bonus. Xiaoying was just an ordinary person so she couldn’t compare.

“Sister Su Qing, 1 dreamed of Godmother last night. She said she wasn’t satisfied and that the person who harmed her hadn’t been caught yet.” Xiaoying squatted on the ground and added firewood to the stove. When she thought of last night’s dream, her eyes were filled with tears again. Godmother’s appearance was too miserable; her face was covered in blood.

“You miss your godmother.”

Su Qing’s hands paused for a moment. Xiaoying’s words made her sad again. She comforted Xiaoying in a low voice and did not take Xiaoying’s dream to heart. The person who harmed her godmother had already been torn into pieces. How could he not have been caught?

“Su Qing.”

Ji Shuisheng, Qu Da, and the others had brought everything from the cave back. When they returned to the camp, they saw Su Qing sitting by the fire. The big pot was stewing fragrant meat. The fire reflected her cold little face like a wife waiting for her husband to return. He could not help but call her name gently.

Su Qing stood up and asked if they had moved everything from the cave over, “Moved all of it over from the place?”

“Then can we still leave it for them?”

Ji Shuisheng smiled. Qing’er was his lucky star. She had followed him to the mountains to find him military rations and expenses.

“Wash your hands and prepare to eat!”

Su Qing nodded and urged them to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

The main dish was brown rice, and the dishes were steamed pork with vermicelli, braised pork, and braised pork. She wanted to make sweet pork, but the ingredients were insufficient. She could only change it to braised pork at the last minute.

“It’s the new year since Su Qing came.”

Qu Da and Jiang Cheng said to Su Qing cheerfully. They were cooking enormous pots of rice that could only fill one’s stomach. Su Qing’s dishes were for people to eat. The color, aroma, and taste were good, just like eating in a restaurant.

“Uncle Qu, Uncle Jiang, 1 brought a jar of good wine. Everyone has worked hard.”

Ji Shuisheng took out the Jiannanchun that he had brought. Drunken Overlord was too strong, and it made his stomach uncomfortable. However, Jiannanchun had a gentle taste; after drinking it, he felt warm and comfortable.

“There’s still wine? Aiya, it’s the new year.”

Jiang Cheng was pleased. He hadn’t sipped wine since he came to the iron mine. He couldn’t help but drool when he smelled the wine.

“How about trying this dish?”

Su Qing picked up a piece of steamed pork with vermicelli for Ji Shuisheng. This dish was a Jiangnan flavor. It was soft and delicious. The fat and lean pork belly was not oily or greasy with the vermicelli. It was smooth with a bite, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance of meat.

“Delicious.”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t use his chopsticks to take it. Instead, he leaned his face over and let Su Qing feed him. His deep eyes smiled at Su Qing, and his voice was filled with love.

The two of them inadvertently showered their affection on each other. Qu Da and Jiang Cheng, who were at the side, looked happy. Young Master had a strange woman like Su Qing as his wife, so why would he worry about not having a great career?

After dinner, Su Qing brought Xiaoying to sleep. The wooden shed was leaking, and even with the quilt covering it, it was so cold that it made people shiver.

Su Qing saw that Xiaoying was too cold to fall asleep under the quilt, so she brightened the fire. She saw Ji Shuisheng sitting by the fire, adding firewood. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

Su Qing walked over to Ji Shuisheng and sat down. She hugged her knees with both hands and tilted her head to look at him. Ji Shuisheng frowned slightly in the firelight as if something was bothering him.

Ji Shuisheng focused on adding traps to the iron mine to ensure its safety. When he heard Su Qing’s voice, he turned to look at her and said with a warm smile,

“I’ll help you guys light a fire. I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold when the weather gets cold.”

Su Qing looked at him quietly.

Ji Shuisheng chuckled as he looked at Su Qing. “Ha, 1 can’t hide anything from Qing’er’s eyes.”

Seeing that she had guessed correctly, Su Qing asked Ji Shuisheng,

“What’s on your mind? Tell me and see if I can help.”

“Uncle Qu and 1 were worried that the Imperial Court or the Wan Family Army had already discovered us. Look at me; why did we split up? Wan Shengchang overthrew the Emperor and proclaimed himself Emperor. The Wan Family Army is now the Imperial Court’s army.”

The tenderness in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes disappeared, and a cold light shot out.

“It’s only a matter of time before you find an opportunity when the world is in chaos.”

Su Qing threw a thick branch into the fire. She did not care who the Emperor was, but now she was missing a vital force to weaken the Wan Family Army.

Ji Shuisheng’s heart ached for the people of the world.

“Wan Shengchang’s usurpation of the throne is not justified. There will be more people rebelling, and everyone wants to replace him. Even the small countries on the border want a share of the pie, but the people will suffer.”

“It’s always the darkest before dawn. Let’s be the iron fist that breaks the darkness.”

Su Qing’s eyes were firm. A stable and happy life depended on his fists.

In the past, the Emperor still had some bottom line. Although he was also usurping the throne, he still had some face.

The Wan family was domineering. Wan Shengchang believed in witchcraft. He used children to refine immortality pills, captured virgins to pluck Yin to nourish Yang, and harmed loyal and good people. No one could live a peaceful life when such a person became an emperor.

Su Qing bore grudges and would never let go of those who had offended her.

This Wan Shengchang almost refined Little Seven into an immortal pill and ate it. She had to settle this score.

Ji Shuisheng held Su Qing’s hand and looked into her clear phoenix eyes. His deep voice carried a solemn promise.

“Qing’er, after I conquer the empire, I will use the empire as a betrothal gift to marry you as my empress.”

“There are conditions for marrying me.”

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng seriously. To put it bluntly, she had only wanted to marry an honest man and live a stable life farming as a man and woman. She had accidentally chosen a dragon. If she married a chicken, she would follow the chicken. If she married a dragon, she would have to fly with it.

However, there was one thing that she absolutely could not tolerate. You must agree to my marriage conditions even if you were the Emperor. n)(o/(V/-E.-l//b(-1/)n

Ji Shuisheng smiled. He knew that Qing’er would disagree so quickly. He planted a light kiss on her forehead and asked in a pleasant voice,

“What condition? Qing’er said it out..
