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.”
