Chapter 230: Chapter 230. The Same Mind

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Shuisheng’s thoughts were the same as Su Qing’s. There were more plains on the border, and they could not defend against the Tartan soldiers surging from all directions.

Take today’s attack on the Peach Blossom Cove team as an example. They attacked the villagers in the east and left Uncle Qu and Uncle Jiang flustered. This method of fighting was terrifying. Just as he was worried, they were very cunning.

“Alright, since you want to stay and live with Mo City, you must make a foolproof plan.”

Su Qing had no objections to staying behind, but she did not want to fight with the Tartan soldiers with her life. She wanted to kill them, however many they came.

She was like this when she was the War God. She would never be merciful to her enemies. She would kill them all to prevent future troubles.

“I think so too. We don’t have to be benevolent and moral when dealing with the Tartan soldiers. We have to hurry up and make more crossbows. We have to use poisonous arrows too.”

Ji Shuisheng’s well-defined face had a resolute expression, and his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent. His thin lips were pursed into a cold arc, and his bones exuded a domineering aura.

“Alright, I’ll make the poison arrows.”

Su Qing was not only not afraid of Ji Shuisheng, but she liked him instead. In war, he feared those saint-like people who would say things like killing everyone without mercy. They feared the heavens would punish them and strike them with lightning. They should not be so cruel as to leave no way out. “What medicine do you need? 1 see a medicine shop in this city. You can go and buy it.”

Cheng Yu would rather starve to death than rob the commoners in the city. This was also a tradition left behind by the Xiao Family Army.

It was the same for Ji Shuisheng. He could not rob the commoners of their property.

” Alright, I’ll give you a list later. We need to make some medicine for injuries too. We need a lot of them in war.”

Su Qing nodded. She always took medicine out of thin air. Ji Xiaoying had already noticed something was wrong, so how could the extremely intelligent Ji Shuisheng not suspect her?

“Alright.”

Ji Shuisheng looked deeply at Su Qing, his strong hands holding Su Qing’s slender arms. Looking at her crystal-clear black eyes, she was always calm and collected, no matter how much danger she encountered.

She was like a stabilizing needle, giving him no worries.

Su Qing looked up at Ji Shuisheng’s dark eyes and said to him in a firm and supportive tone,

“Do what you want to do.”

This man was burdened with the hatred of his family and country. He had been suppressed for too long. All she could do was fight with him to help him fulfill his wish.

“Thank you.”

Ji Shuisheng pulled Su Qing into his arms and hugged her quickly. The heaviness in his heart became heroic again because of Su Qing’s words.

Su Qing accepted him as she leaned into his warm embrace. Feeling his strong heartbeat, Ji Shuisheng kissed her hair and whispered into her ear,

“I’ll be leaving first.”

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded and left his arms. There was no ambiguity in their embrace, only mutual appreciation.

Ji Shuisheng was just about to leave when he heard Ji Xiaoying’s surprised voice.

“Sister Su Qing, there’s a lot of food in the cellar.”

Ji Shuisheng was stunned momentarily when he heard his sister shout. He had searched the house inside and out, including the cellar. Where was the food?

Su Qing already knew there was food in the cellar, so she didn’t change her expression and calmly walked outside.

Ji Xiaoying held a handful of polished rice and excitedly showed it to her big brother and Sister Su Qing.

“It’s polished rice. That’s great. We can eat polished rice porridge tonight.”

The crystal-clear grains of rice glowed faintly. Ji Shuisheng could not believe his eyes. He strode to the cellar and squatted down to check. Indeed, the cellar was filled with polished rice.

“I’ll go and cook.”

The wounded needed to eat something nutritious, so she planned to make some polished rice porridge for them first. Su Qing saw Ji Shuisheng squatting in front of the cellar and looking at the polished rice in disbelief. The corners of her mouth curled up into an invisible smile.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were already famished after walking all the way here. They had to eat and drink enough to fight. Cooking was the most important thing now.

” I’ll call Li Daniu and the others over to exchange polished rice for brown rice. One stone can be exchanged for two stones. Our team has another two hundred people, so we have to eat sparingly.”

When Ji Shuisheng and Cheng Yu were talking, they learned that the city guards had run out of food and relied on everyone to hunt.

Since they had food, they couldn’t just watch them starve. How could they fight if they didn’t have enough to eat?

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded. She was afraid that the grain stores in the city wouldn’t be able to have polished rice.

There was a stove in the house, which was connected to the brick bed. The chimney was on the roof, so there was no need to worry about gas poisoning. She could light the stove to burn coal without worry.

However, this family had taken everything with them when they left. There was a stove but no pot. Ji Shuisheng went to the carriage and unloaded the four pots they had brought. There was no way there would be only one stove in many empty houses.

With the city guards’ help, the Peach Blossom Cove villagers moved into their houses. Everyone was busy cleaning the homes, sweeping the floors, hoping they would not leave again and stay here to live and work in peace and contentment!

After Li Shuang’er finished cleaning the house, she came to help cook. Su Qing asked her to watch over the fire while she went to the backyard to get two buckets of water.

Along the way, they lacked not only food but also water. Knowing there was water in this courtyard, every family came to fetch water. For a moment, this small courtyard was filled with people. With people around, it did not seem desolate.

Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang knocked on the grain store’s door. The manager of the grain store only opened the door a tiny crack after confirming that it was safe.

“Shopkeeper, we want to use polished rice to exchange for brown rice with you. How will you exchange it?”

Ji Shuisheng politely cupped his fists and asked the shopkeeper.

“Our store doesn’t have much food left. We can’t eat your polished rice.”

The shopkeeper shook his head with a bitter face. After the remaining grain in the shop was sold out, he took the money and ran for his life.

Why didn’t you take the food with you? He felt that he couldn’t protect the food and would be robbed.

“Then how much food is left? 1’11 take care of everything.”

When Ji Shuisheng heard that there wasn’t much food left, he immediately decided to buy all the food. The shopkeeper was quite happy when he heard that Ji Shuisheng wanted to buy all the food. Of course, although he was pleased, he didn’t charge a small price.

Ji Shuisheng bought another 200 or so stones of grain from the grain store. With this, the team could last for another half a month.

They had also bought all the salt in the grain shop and even all kinds of beans. After the beans were fried, they could be stuffed into the pockets of the soldiers holding their positions to eat at any time to satisfy their hunger.

People would lose their strength without salt, so they had to salt it.

After buying all the food, they had little money left because the price was too high.

But it didn’t matter; the Tartan soldiers would send them money.

With the food, Ji Shuisheng got Auntie Qiu and Auntie Li to cook three large pots of porridge and steamed coarse grains so the soldiers could have a full meal after the battle.

Su Qing cooked the refined rice porridge and asked the girls to take it into the room for the wounded to eat. She went to find Qin Feng and Madam Li to come over for dinner.

Everyone was delighted with this meal. The eyes of those soldiers were red as they ate the steaming hot food. After living like barbarians for so long, they could finally have a good meal.

After eating and drinking their fill, they began to prepare for battle. Ji Shuisheng ordered the men to go out and look for bamboo, but they forgot that they were in the north, where there was no bamboo.

“Report, the Tartan soldiers are coming..”
