“Sure.”
Su Qing opened her right hand to reveal the silver bell lying quietly in her palm. Ji Shuisheng saw the small bell in Su Qing’s palm. It was black and had a strange pattern on it. It looked like an animal, but he could not tell what it was.
This pattern?
Ji Shuisheng’s heart thumped. He looked at Su Qing anxiously. His eyes were shining with excitement. Su Qing nodded slowly at him.
Ji Shuisheng excitedly picked up Su Qing and spun around the room.
“Qing’er, you are truly my lucky star.”
Su Qing smiled at him and gave Ji Shuisheng another surprise.
“This is the engagement token that my future father-in-law gave to my father.”
“What did you say? Qing’er, can you repeat that?”
Ji Shuisheng stopped spinning and looked up at Su Qing in disbelief. He wanted her to repeat herself to ensure he had not misheard.
Su Qing smiled and repeated,
“My future father-in-law...”
However, before she could finish speaking, Ji Shuisheng loosened his arm and let her fall into his embrace. He hugged her tightly and kissed her cherry-red lips excitedly. His arm was strong as if he wanted to insert her into his body.
Su Qing’s heart raced, and her blood boiled. Ji Shuisheng’s excitement and happiness infected her. There was no longer any obstacle between them. They were destined to be together.
The two of them hugged each other and kissed passionately. Their hearts were tightly pressed together.
Fate was extraordinary. When he saved Su Qing, Ji Shuisheng never thought she was his fiancee!
“Quick, take out the box and try it out.”
The two kissed for a long time until their lips were numb. Ji Shuisheng reluctantly let go of Su Qing, eager to verify if the silver bell could open the box.
“Alright.”
Su Qing took out the box from the system. She wanted to keep the box in Mo City. Ji Shuisheng trusted her completely, so it was safer with her than with himself. Usually, the search at the city gate was for men and relatively lenient for women.
Su Qing placed the box on the square table. It was time to witness a miracle. She, who had always been calm, could not help but feel nervous. She took the silver bell and inserted it into the keyhole of the box. It fit perfectly.
Ji Shuisheng clenched his fists tightly because he was nervous. He watched as Su Qing turned the silver bell. The box made a cracking sound, and the lid opened automatically with a bang, revealing the Tiger-headed Commander’s Seal inside.
“Qing’er, Father sent you to my side. With the commander’s seal, we can show our strength and take revenge for him.”
Ji Shuisheng piously picked up the commander’s seal. The commander’s seal made of ebony was mighty and domineering. It was as if he could see his father wearing armor and riding on a horse, looking back at him. His tiger’s eyes were shining with anticipation.
“Yes, let’s revive the Xiao family army together.”
Su Qing’s eyes were resolute. The oppressive aura of the War God in her previous life had returned to her. Since the current imperial court did not allow her to live a peaceful life of farming at sunrise and resting at sunset, she would fight for peace and prosperity herself.
If the displaced people could live and work peacefully, she and Shuisheng could realize their dream of farming.
They had to leave tonight because they had obtained the commander’s seal, and there was no need to stay in Luo City anymore. Secondly, she did not want to implicate the people of Mo City.
If they killed their way out, the Wan Family Army would think that they had escaped and would not kill the civilians of Luo City. Otherwise, the Wan Family Army would massacre Mo City and kill the wrong people.
“Alright.”
Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing was full of confidence and he was also full of pride. Who in the world could match a husband and wife working together?
How could such an exciting event not be celebrated with food and wine? Just as Ji Shuisheng had this thought, he heard Su Qing say,
“I’ve called a restaurant to deliver food. Let’s have a good meal tonight; then we’ll take Guo Longjiang and the others back to Mo City.”
“Qing’er, why do you always think the same thing as me?”
Ji Shuisheng held Su Qing’s hand. His eyes were filled with love, and his voice was as gentle as water. He could not pull out his passion.
“We have telepathy.”
Su Qing also joked with him. The playfulness in her beautiful eyes made Ji Shuisheng’s heart flutter.
He softly called out Su Qing’s name and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
“Brother Ji?”
Guo Longjiang had stayed in the secret passage for several days. He didn’t dare to come out during the day and only came out at night. His brothers were all suffocated.
When Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing heard his voice, they quickly separated. They had just separated when Guo Longjiang stepped into the house. His loud, clear voice immediately sounded,
“Brother Ji, how is the situation outside?”
“Brother Guo, I was just about to tell you. Get ready. We’re leaving Luo City tonight.”
Ji Shuisheng pulled his clothes to cover his awkward spot and cleared his throat before speaking to Guo Longjiang in all seriousness.
“That’s great. We can finally leave this place. Aren’t the city gates searched?”
Guo Longjiang rubbed his hands in excitement when he heard he could leave Luo City. The days of being a rat were too tricky. He wanted to live openly under the sun, even if he had to pay the price of blood.
Ji Shuisheng’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
“Kill our way out.” n)-o(.v()E/)l/(B--I).n
Guo Longjiang was shocked, “Kill...” Kill our way out?”
Wasn’t this hitting a rock with an egg? Their weapons were all old and broken. How could they fight against the well-trained Wan Clan army when weak and powerless?
Ji Shuisheng was just about to explain how to get out of Luo City when he heard a knock on the door. Guo Longjiang immediately returned to the secret room in the backyard.
Ji Shuisheng went out to open the door and saw that it was a restaurant delivering food. Su Qing had already thought of the details when she made the arrangements. She had given them fifteen minutes apart so they would not bump into each other.
A sumptuous table of food and wine celebrated finding Silver Bell. It was also a way to get out of Luo City after eating.
Guo Longjiang and his brothers were so happy that they could leave Luo City. They ate and drank happily.
They would freeze to death before they reached Mo City with the clothes they were wearing. The most important thing was to find them cotton clothes.
Su Qing thought of her family’s clothing store. She had asked around in the past few days. The person who took over the Su family’s clothing store was the Zhizhou’s brother-in-law. Su Qing planned to take Guo Longjiang and the others to the Su family’s clothing store to get the cotton-padded clothes. The things belonged to her family, so it was only fitting for her to use them.
At midnight, Ji Shuisheng brought Guo Longjiang and the others to the Su family’s clothing shop. With only two or three waiters guarding the shop, it was easy to subdue them.
Everyone looked for suitable cotton clothes and shoes and wore headscarves and masks. The Su family had a strong foundation, and the new owner was black-hearted. All the goods were tripled in price, which caused the goods to be overstocked and benefited Ji Shuisheng and the others.
After everyone changed, Ji Shuisheng took them to meet Su Qing at the city gate.
The night watchman on the street felt that it was frighteningly quiet tonight. He looked around in horror and knocked three times in fear. He trembled and shouted,
“Three...Another day, air-dried...Dry.”
Before the night watchman could finish shouting, he heard an earth-shattering explosion. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground. A group of masked men in black ran past him.
On the road from the capital to Luo City, a large group of people were rushing to Luo City. When they heard the explosion, they sped up..
