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

Chapter 124.  Some Things Can't be Stopped in The End

Jiang Yifan was so scared that he trembled at the sight of the whip. The wounds on his body hurt so much that they pierced his heart. He asked the executioner in fear,

"What do you want me to say? No one sent me here. I wanted to contribute a good recipe to the General."

"You said to contribute the recipe, then where is it?"

Lu Yue waved his paper fan and walked into the dark dungeon. His slow voice made Jiang Yifan's heart tremble. This person was even more terrifying than the one with the whip.

Sir, it's like this. I went to treat master Qi's third Madam and saw a wandering physician's miraculous medicine to stop the bleeding. I applied his medicine when the blood flowed out, and the bleeding stopped. I thought that such a good medicine should be used on the soldiers on the front line. I want to be loyal to the General!

Jiang Yifan said weakly. He wanted to save his own life. He had forgotten to check the Almanac when he went out today. First, he had lost money; now, there was a bloody disaster. He might even lose his life.

Thinking that he would die in this dark dungeon, Jiang Yifan shivered in fear, his heart filled with despair.

"Wandering physician, so you can't find him?"

Lu Yue's smile was gentle and elegant. The smell in the dungeon was unbearable, so he used his handkerchief to cover his nose. The way he looked at Jiang Yifan scared him, so he hurriedly shouted to Jiang Yifan,

"My Lord, you can go to master Qi's house and ask him if I'm lying."

" I've been there. Grandpa Qi said that he didn't see such a miraculous medicine to stop the bleeding, and there wasn't any physician wandering around either."

Lu Yue's smile suddenly disappeared, and his eyes turned cold as he ordered, "

"This is a cheap bone. He won't shed tears until he sees his coffin."

"That's impossible, impossible. Ask the servants in their family; everyone saw it."

Jiang Yifan shouted in despair. Why did Master Qi say that he didn't see any hemostatic? Why did he say that there was no wandering physician? Why did they want to harm him?

The executioner immediately understood. He took the red hot branding iron and walked before Jiang Yifan. The branding iron was red hot, and before it even touched his body, the heat was already unbearable for Jiang Yifan. He cried and begged for mercy, so scared that he peed in his pants. But no matter how he begged for mercy, he couldn't escape the fire channel punishment.

When the red-hot branding iron was pressed against his chest, Jiang Yifan screamed in pain and fainted.

Lu Yue went back to report to Wan Yulin. When Wan Yulin heard that Jiang Yifan was so stubborn, he was even more convinced that he was a death warrior sent by the Emperor to harm him.

"General, we've just received a secret report that there is indeed an Army from the Imperial court guarding outside Li City. The person leading the Army is noble An's uncle."

"Hahaha ..." Little Yongqi, can't you wait to make a move on me?"

Wan Yulin was so angry that he laughed. His eyes were so dark that ink was about to drip out. He smashed the table made of Phoebe Zhennan wood with one palm, sending wood chips flying all over the ground.

"First, they poisoned the Wan family's Army, and then they sent their men of sacrifice to offer up the so-called bleeding control secret formula. I guess that secret formula must be poison as well. If the Wan family's Army were to use it, they would die even if they suffered minor injuries."

Lu Yue shook his paper fan and spoke his thoughts. Wan Yulin was even more furious and sneered,

"Yongqi always uses such underhanded means. How can such a person with no virtue be worthy of being the Emperor? "

Wan Yulin took a deep breath, looked at Lu Yue, and asked,

"Have you found the iron mine we sent people to look for?"

Lu Yue shook his head,

"No, we've searched all the mountains from Yu city to Jin city, but we didn't find any iron ore."

"Keep looking and send more people out."

Wan Yulin raised his chin and ordered in a deep voice. The anger on his face was gone, and he returned to his usual cold and gloomy self. He had always been good at controlling his emotions.

"Alright."

Lu Yue cupped his fists and left.

In the dungeon, the executioner used all the torture methods on Jiang Yifan, torturing him until he was dead. However, he still couldn't give Wan Yulin the desired answer, so this torture could only stop when he died.

On one side, Jiang Yifan was beaten to a pulp. Conversely, Su Qing woke up and started working again. She was making riding boots for Xiaoing. Wearing these shoes was much more comfortable than wearing grass shoes.

Xiaoying was not idle when she woke up. She took the rags and practiced embroidery. This job could kill time and train her character; she had already fallen in love with it.

Madam Li sat there quietly. She was never an annoying person. She could sit there without saying a word for an entire day. It was enough for her to reminisce, and she never felt lonely. It was as if brother Feng was by her side, watching her gently.

The villagers got on the carriage. They no longer had to travel until their legs were as tired as wood. They all felt pleased.

The journey was three times faster than before, so the team chose a high post to rest at night. There was a small river around it for drinking and cooking.

Su Qing placed the half-finished riding boots into the carriage and jumped to help cook.

There was grain, cured wild boar meat, and dried fish. The girls also went to pick some wild vegetables, which were enough to make a sumptuous dinner.

Ji Shuisheng was not idle either. He seized the time to teach Zhong Yong martial arts. He did not know what kind of danger they would encounter. Zhong Yong only knew how to carry people and throw them to the ground.

If Zhong Yong knew martial arts, he would be a powerful helper, so Ji Shuisheng wanted to teach him while they were escaping.

Zhong Yong's arms were thick and strong. He loved the two iron hammers he had snatched from the bandits and held them daily. These weapons were very suitable for Zhong Yong, so Ji Shuisheng specially taught hammer techniques.

Zhong Yong was very serious about learning. Ji Shuisheng held the twin hammers and leaped to strike, changing various moves. He was already demonstrating quickly, but Zhong Yong could see it clearly and gestured to the side.

"Take it and practice it once."

Ji Shuisheng wanted to see if he was really that smart. After finishing a set of moves, he handed the hammer to Zhong Yong.

"Alright," he said.

Zhong Yong happily took the iron hammers and waved them around vigorously. His moves were not bad at all.

"Big brother, did I hit it right?"

Zhong Yong asked Ji Shuisheng cheerfully as he finished a set of moves without panting or shaking his shoulders. He did not look tired at all.

"Yes, I'll teach you another set."

Ji Shuisheng was happy in his heart and taught him another set of moves.

Madam Li was helped out of the carriage by Ji Xiaoying to go to the toilet. When she returned, she heard the conversation between Ji Shuisheng and her son. Madam Li was in a daze for a moment. Some things could not be stopped.

Su Qing cut the wild boar into pieces and fried it with lard. Then, she added wild scallions, wild Ginger, and chili. Su Qing would add a little chili to every stew. They had been living outside for a long time, and the moist gourmand chili could eliminate the moisture.

The wild vegetables that the ladies had picked were all washed clean. Su Qing poured the wild vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them before pouring in water. The fragrance was already wafting out.

She started to make dried fish again. She didn't need to reach out for the main course; Auntie Li and the others used the other two big pots to steam rice. Without any other ingredients, she stewed the dried fish.

After stewing the fish in the pot, Su Qing went to look at the firewood. Ji Xiaoying walked in front of her and squatted down. She showed her a black object in her hand.

"Sister, you're very knowledgeable. Look at what this is."
