After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm - Chapter 54

54 Seen It All (1)

The soldiers guarding the city noticed Ji Shuisheng and raised their long Spears at him. Four to five soldiers came up and surrounded Ji Shuisheng.

Ji Shuisheng could not find Ji Xiaoying and Su Qing, and he was forced to fight with the soldiers with knives and spears. He clenched his fists and hesitated whether he should fight them or not.

Just as they were about to draw their swords, a clear voice asked, “Is the honored guest’s surname Ji?”

“Yes.”

!!
Ji Shuisheng’s eyes were slightly dazed. It was impossible for someone to recognize him? Could it be that the old man had left someone behind to wait for him?

“Old Master Qin ordered me to wait for everyone here. Your younger sister and Miss Su are at the relay station. Please follow me.”

The person sent by Old Master Qin politely informed Ji Shuisheng. The meaning was simple and plain, indicating that Ji Xiaoying was at the inn in the city.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng agreed in a deep voice. His sister was inside. Even if he knew it was a dangerous place, he would still charge in. Moreover, the other party was being polite, so he did not care.

Ji Shuisheng followed the people sent by Old Master Qin to the relay station. Just as he reached the entrance of the relay station, he was stopped by the iron-armored soldier.

“Stop! What are you doing?”

The people sent by Old Master Qin were all stunned. When he left the courier station, the soldiers guarding the gate were not fully armored soldiers. How did they change shifts?

Old Master Qin’s men hurriedly came forward and bowed, politely saying to the armored soldier, “Sir, I’m Old Master Qin’s guard. I’m helping Old Master Qin to welcome an important guest.”

No one dared to offend the Wan family’s armored Army. During the war, general Wan had the right to execute officials below the fourth grade without reporting. Who in the great Xia Kingdom wasn’t afraid of the Wan family’s Army?

“Just wait.”

The iron-armored soldier’s expression was still cold and he did not let them through, but he sent a soldier to verify the situation.

Wan Yulin didn’t care about other people’s face, but Wan Yulin had to give face to Old Master Qin, the emperor’s teacher.

This was also the reason why the rest of the inn’s guests had been driven away, leaving only Old Master Qin, Su Qing, and the others.

The soldier who went in to verify the situation quickly returned and said to the armored soldier guarding the gate, ”

“Let them in,”

Ji Shuisheng looked at the Wan family Army’s flag that was fluttering in the moonlight, and his heart full of hatred turned into flames that burned in his eyes. There were two voices fighting in his heart. One was shouting to charge in and kill the Wan family and the armored Army, while the other was shouting, “Xiaoying and Su Qing are still inside, don’t be rash.”

“Please,” he said.

The people sent by Old Master Qin politely invited Ji Shuisheng into the courier station. Ji Shuisheng suppressed the anger in his heart and lowered his head to follow behind him. After entering the courtyard, he couldn’t help but observe. He found that the stables were all tied with war horses and the courtyard was also filled with armored soldiers.

He retracted his gaze and followed the person sent by Old Master Qin into the courier station. When he was going upstairs, he happened to catch a man in military uniform coming down. He was in a hurry and saw Ji Shuisheng. He couldn’t help but look at him a few more times. Ji Shuisheng lowered his head to prevent him from looking into his eyes.

This person was the Adjutant of the Wan family Army that had injured old master Qiu by riding a horse. Ji Shuisheng had seen him before.

“Who is it?”

The Adjutant pointed at Ji Shuisheng and asked the armored soldier in a deep voice. Although Ji Shuisheng was allowed to enter, two armored soldiers followed behind them as if they were escorting him.

“Old Master Qin’s guest.”

The armored soldier reported to the Adjutant. The Adjutant frowned. If it was someone else, he would have just chased them out, but Old Master Qin couldn’t.

“Let’s go!”

The Adjutant waved his hand with a sullen face, his gaze fixed on Ji Shuisheng.

This person was tall and had a fierce-looking beard. He was dressed in coarse cloth and a pair of leather boots. Why would Old Master Qin make friends with such a wild villager?

Ji Shuisheng kept his head down. He could guarantee that he would kill the three Wan family army officers in front of him, but he could not guarantee that he would be able to bring Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying away safely.

Therefore, reason triumphed over impulse. He had already decided to restrain himself and show the Adjutant that he was an honest village man.

Li Wu was waiting for Ji Shuisheng on the second floor. When he saw him coming up, he smiled and said, “Mr. Ji must be tired from the long journey. I have already arranged a room for you. Go wash up and have a good rest. I just informed Miss Su. She said that your sister has fallen asleep and will come to your room to meet you in a while.”

“Many thanks.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his hands in thanks and followed Li Wu to the third floor.

This was also specially arranged by Li Wu. General Wan lived on the second floor for fear that Ji Shuisheng would disturb them and cause more trouble.

Ji Shuisheng followed Li Wu to the third floor. Li Wu asked the courier to arrange a room that was only a wall away from Su Qing.

“Mister Ji, please rest. I’ll get the soldiers to bring you some hot water.”

Li Wu said to Ji Shuisheng courteously. He was still counting on Miss Su to treat the old master, so he had to be more respectful to her people.

Ji Shuisheng nodded his head in thanks and pushed the door open to enter the room. His entire body was tensed up and in a state of alert. He only relaxed after he was sure that there was no ambush in the room.

Su Qing was in his room. He didn’t move even when he heard the sound of the door opening and the conversation next door. His hands were dancing quickly, and an exquisite wicker basket was about to be completed.

Ji Shuisheng didn’t wait for long in the room before a guard brought hot water.

Ji Shuisheng had not had a good bath for a long time. After sending off the courier, he undressed and stepped into the bath barrel naked. In the midst of the rising heat, his two strong arms were casually placed on the side of the bath barrel. His entire body was soaked in hot water. His eyes were closed, and his head was like a revolving lantern as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

The courier did not send any refreshments as all the refreshments in their courier station had been taken away by Miss Su. In addition, he also felt that Ji Shuisheng was not a noble guest and there was no need to send him such good desserts.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Shuisheng’s entire body was drenched in hot water until all the sweat pores on his body opened. The hot air gathered into water droplets on his face and flowed down his well-defined cheeks. He casually used his large hand to wipe the water droplets away. His eyes that opened were as sharp as a sword.

To be able to bring so many iron-armored soldiers, he must be an important figure of the Wan family. Since he had entered the relay station, it would be too late to kill him if he missed this opportunity.

Ji Shuisheng suddenly stood up from the water and reached for the White bath towel on the side of the tub. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Su Qing walked in with a basket of two plates of pastries.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ji Shuisheng’s strong and bare back, his strong and curvy waist, his firm upturned buttocks, and his two strong long legs…

When Ji Shuisheng heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around to look and met Su Qing’s eyes. He was so frightened that he quickly covered his private parts with a bath towel.

“You, get out.”

Ji Shuisheng shouted angrily. Su Qing didn’t expect Ji Shuisheng to still be taking a bath even though he had been here for an hour. He didn’t even close the door when he was taking a shower?

Su Qing turned around and coldly ordered, “Put on your clothes.”

Ji Shuisheng’s face was filled with black lines. She had clearly seen him naked, so why was she still angry?

Ji Shuisheng did not have the time to think as he hurriedly put on his clothes. The man who was as hard as steel actually had a red face. He was so embarrassed that he did not know where to put his hands and feet. He asked dryly,

“You …” Why didn’t you knock?”
