The city gate of Fu County was knocked down, and Guo Longjiang rushed into Fu County with a motley crew of refugees.

’T admire this man.”

Ji Shuisheng turned around, looked at the motley Army pouring into Fu County like a spring, and said to Qiu Yongkang.

The blood in his body was boiling, and he also wanted to attack without care.

“Yup.”

Qiu Yongkang sighed. He and Shuishcng were going to achieve great things, but the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were their most significant burden. They had to get them to safety first.

“Let’s go. This is only a short-lived thing.”

Ji Shuisheng calmed down. He wanted to overthrow the great Xia Kingdom and not just take down one city.

He needed to recruit soldiers and buy horses and elite soldiers and generals— all of these required time and money.

The road that Ji Shuishcng had chosen was far from the city, and most were mountain roads, which was a problem. There was no place to buy food and salt; they had to find food and water on their own, just like when they had first come out to escape.

There was a great danger in the mountains-landslides, where falling rocks blocked the mountain road and prevented anyone from moving forward.

Whenever this happened, Zhong Yong and Li Daniu would be the main labor force.

Su Qing took the time to train the Peach Blossom Cove girls while clearing the obstacles. The two of them had godly strength. They lifted the huge rock that weighed a few hundred Jin and left.

These girls admired Su Qing, so they were earnest about learning.

Su Qing made an easy target and tied it to a tree trunk. She asked the girls to aim their crossbows at the center of the target. The crossbow arrows were all made of bamboo. There was no lack of bamboo in the mountains, and she had an endless supply of raw materials.

Talent was important in everything they learned. Ji Xiaoying, Li Shuang’er, and Jiang Yuyan were the most hardworking students and had the best comprehension. They were also learning to shoot crossbows, but the three were the fastest to learn and hit the bull’s eye.

Whenever Su Qing taught the girls how to shoot the crossbow, Qin Fong would sit to the side and watch. The more he looked at Su Qing, the more he liked her. He felt that he was a good match for his grandson.

Qin Feng had also heard about Su Qing’s situation and knew that she was an abandoned woman who had been divorced. However, the old master was different from those pedantic people.

That scoundrel didn’t know how to appreciate Su Qing’s kindness and made way for his grandson. His grandson was lucky to have met a good girl like Su Qing.

She could go to the hall, enter the kitchen, kill and save people, and even make weapons. It was simply perfect.

“I’ll teach you some close-combat techniques.”

Su Qing saw that the girls had learned how to use the crossbow well, so she suggested teaching them close-range combat techniques. She taught them all the techniques that could kill with one shot.

Ji Shuisheng watched as she moved the stones. He felt these moves wore more practical than the proper martial arts routines. One activity was enough to kill, and tricks were useless.

After clearing the roadblocks, the girls were reluctant to put down their crossbows. They even gestured toward the forest in the carriage. Their eyes were shining with excitement, hoping that a wild rabbit would rush out of the forest so that they could satisfy their hunting addiction.

The young men from Peach Blossom looked at the girls’ crossbows with envy. If only Su Qing had been willing to teach them.

Aunt Qiu looked at the girls in high spirits after learning martial arts and thought of her daughter. She couldn’t help but wipe her tears.

“Don’t cry.”

First father Qiu comforted his wife when he saw her crying.

“Master, may I know where Qiu Yue is? Is she still alive? My heart is in pain!'”

Aunt Qiu told her husband in tears, and father Qiu sighed.

“Rabbit, rabbit.”

After learning to shoot a crossbow, Ji Xiaoying no longer sat in the carriage. She had been sitting in front of the carriage. Suddenly, she jumped off the carriage excitedly and steadily raised the crossbow to shoot at the wild gray rabbit running out of the forest. The arrow shot the back leg of the wild rabbit with the sound of the wind. It dragged its injured leg and ran towards the mountain rocks. Ji Xiaoying ran after it.

“Xiaoying.”

Ji Shuisheng was afraid that his sister would be in danger and quickly pulled the reins. He jumped off the carriage and chased into the forest. The two of them ran behind the mountain rock one after the other, but Ji Shuisheng could not find his sister after he entered.

“Xiaoying, where are you?”

Ji Shuisheng shouted, but the mountain forest was empty. There was no Xiaoying or that wild rabbit.

Su Qing heard something was wrong and jumped off the carriage with Qiu Yongkang. Qiu Yongkang anxiously asked Ji Shuishcng, “Where’s Xiaoying?”

“She might have fallen.”

Ji Shuisheng was crouching on the ground to check a collapsed hole. His position was right behind the mountain rock.

Ji Shuisheng pulled the vines from the tree and quickly tied them up. He tied one end to his waist and the other to the tree as he spoke to Su Qing and Qiu Yongkang.

“I’ll go down and take a look. Don’t follow me.”

“This cave is too small; 1’11 go in!”

Su Qing calmly examined the situation in the cave. The narrow gap was only big enough for a child and a woman to go in. Ji Shuishcng’s tall and strong body could not enter at all.

They dared not expand the hole, fearing the collapse would hurt Xiaoying.

“Be careful,”

Ji Shuisheng looked at the hole’s size and realized he couldn’t fit in. He had no choice but to hand the vine to Su Qing and look into her eyes worriedly.

“I know.”

“If Xiaoying is down there, I’ll pull on the vine,” Su Qing said, looking at him.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng nodded and pulled the vines with Qiu Yongkang to ensure Su Qing’s safety.

Su Qing’s thin body was as soft as a snake’s, and she successfully entered the cave.

A gust of wind blew up from below. It felt intense and so dark that one couldn’t even see their fingers. Su Qing lit the torch, but the weak light couldn’t reach far, and she couldn’t see the bottom.

“Xiaoying?”

Su Qing shouted Xiaoying’s name. She kicked the stone wall and quickly descended with the vines in her hand.

Su Qing’s voice echoed in the cave, but there was no response from Ji Xiaoying.

After falling for more than ten meters, Su Qing finally saw the bottom. Xiao Ying was lying on the ground unconscious, and the rabbit that had lured Xiao Ying in had fallen to its death beside her.

Su Qing hurriedly jumped off the vine and tugged at the rope with all her might to inform Ji Shuishcng that he had found Xiaoying.

“Xiaoying.”

After Su Qing informed Ji Shuisheng, she went over to help Xiaoying up and check on her injuries. She had fallen very badly. Xiao Ying’s small face was pale, and her forehead was covered in blood. She had multiple fractures and a severe concussion. Her internal organs were also injured to varying degrees.

“Xiao Qi.”

Su Qing called for Xiao Qi, who was already busy in the system. Master, Xiao Qi is making medicine now. She needs a tendon and bone pill to connect bones, a brain-clearing pill to treat concussions, and a restoration pill to treat internal injuries.

Xiao Qi was so busy that her chubby body spun like a top. She jogged to prepare the medicine. Worried about poisonous insects in the cave, Xiao Qi made insect repellent powder without Su Qing’s instructions.

Su Qing laid Xiao Ying flat on the ground. Feeling the chilly wind blowing, she lit her surroundings with a torch.

She found the cave was huge, with caves on the left and right sides where people could walk. The wind blew in from the right side.

Su Qing could not be bothered to study the cave. She had to wake Xiao Ying up first. She used disinfectant to clean the wound on Xiaoying’s forehead and realized that the wound was very deep. The blood would come out after she wiped it off. She then applied red medicine to stop the bleeding. After stopping the bleeding, she then sutured the wound. This kind of wound would leave a scar. She had made five stitches in total.

Little girls loved to look pretty. If Xiaoying saw her wound, she would be sad. Su Qing gave Xiao Qi another task:

“Xiao Qi, make a scar removal cream.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Qi agreed obediently. Suddenly, Xiao Qi shouted, “Master, it’s dangerous..”
