Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 69 Sending away the Mohists (two chapters in one)

"So, will you go with me?" Master Li asked her directly.

Zheng Quchi said that he would join the "Jichun Craftsman's Guild", but he didn't explicitly say that he would go with him.

She thought he wouldn't notice this, but she didn't expect that he would have guessed it long ago, and she didn't even have the chance to be vague.

She looked up at the sky: "This... I don't even have a craftsman level..."

"You have the finished woodwork of the earthenware, and it was also transported to the current city wall construction project. It is a contribution art recognized by the government. If you want to rate it, you should be able to rate it easily."

It was the first time Zheng Quchi heard this kind of statement: "Then where can I get this rating?"

"There should be a craftsman's association in the county. Tomorrow is Muxiu. I can go with you." Master Li invited her.

Zheng Quchi bowed his head: "I don't have that idea for now..."

During the short time with her, Master Li has already caught one of her few weaknesses.

He Wen Tun said: "If you are rated, you should at least be able to obtain a master class. If the woodwork has a wide influence and a famous craftsman attaches a certificate for you to guarantee, maybe you can directly be rated as a first-class craftsman apprentice."

"A craftsman's first-level apprentice? Wouldn't that be a two-level jump in a row?"

Zheng Quchi was surprised, thinking that Qinggong was a first-class apprentice craftsman at the beginning, but he produced the "Seven Star Table Set" which is famous throughout Fu County, and was once sold out to get such a rating of a first-class craftsman apprentice.

Her earthenware was indeed produced in large quantities by construction officials, but it was only used for lifting earth fortifications. Her influence can be seen from the fact that she is not well-known so far.

"I think you can do it." Master Li's tone was unquestionable
Zheng Quchi avoided his eyes: "But I've been really busy recently..."

Master Li continued: "If you can become a mulberry worker, next time the county recruits craftsmen, you will be given special treatment. You can even enter the official workshop to buy some rare materials that are not in circulation in the market. Of course, there is also a monthly salary. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"

Zheng Quchi's eyes widened the more he listened, how can craftsman ratings have such good things?Why had she never heard of it before?

She made a decisive decision, and said in one breath: "No matter how busy you are, there is always time to squeeze in. I think tomorrow will be good, and Master Lao Li will lead the way."

Master Li was not surprised by her change of words, and looked at her calmly: "It's a small matter, I will pick you up tomorrow."

-

Originally, Zheng Quchi had made an appointment the next day to go to the county with Master Li for grading, but he didn't want to, but he still didn't make it because Shan Bian arranged an assassination mission for her that night.

Time: noon.

Location: On the hill.

At the same time, she was restrained by Shan Bian and had to stay with him all night until dawn.

Shan Bian was very serious when explaining the task: "Tomorrow at noon, Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao will mix mud at the quarry. When the time comes, the guards will need to disperse and station around to prevent interference and peeping. Then you can find a place to hide first. When the time is right, obey my orders and kill them."

"Okay." She responded quickly.

Shan Bian was startled, and couldn't help but look at her twice more.

"Why are you so active today?"

"Is this considered positive?" She properly reflected on her past self, and shrugged helplessly: "I just suddenly figured out that unnecessary hypocrisy should be discarded, after all, I am a killer."

There is no doubt about this order.

He told her casually: "After killing these two guys who are in the way, we will blow up the city foundation and completely cut off Fu County's plan to restore the city wall."

"Blow it up? With what?" Zheng Quchi was surprised.

Shan Bian felt that the way she made such a big fuss was really embarrassing to the Mo family.

"Black powder, haven't you seen it?"

Black powder?
She had never seen this thing called "black powder".

"How powerful is it?" she wondered.

Shan Bian raised his chin: "You will know when the time comes. We have been busy for a few days before finally setting it up. When Master Qu comes over tomorrow and we light it together, you will know how big the black powder specially made by our Mohist is." Powerful."

Master Qu will come tomorrow?
That would be... great.

However, I don't know if this "black powder" is very different from modern explosives.

But she knew that once it exploded, it would be huge, and it would be impossible to hide it from anyone.

She deliberately asked: "But such a big movement, if it attracts officers and soldiers to surround it, how can we escape?"

"You don't have to worry about that. When we ignite the black powder, the scene will definitely be chaotic. We will take the opportunity to sneak into the artisan team and wait for the opportunity to escape."

"That's a good idea. Where do you go to ignite the black powder, and which one will I be in charge of?"

"You don't need it, there are seven of us, including Master Qu, we can deal with all the ignition points at once. We will be in the relatively hidden pine forest area. You should pay attention to the movement and respond at any time."

Oh ~
Chen Quchi, who drew up the whole plan, smiled sinisterly from an angle where no one could see.

She was still worrying about not being able to catch them, but she didn't expect that all of them would come to her door.

Zheng Quchi didn't have any psychological burden to send away the so-called mastermind behind the scenes, Qu Shi and Shan Bian, but for Qiu... But now, she can't care so much.

He had killed "Sang Xuanqing" because of the order of the Mohist family, so in the cycle of karma, he finally died in the mission of the Mohist family, so it can be regarded as retribution for retribution.

But she had to think carefully about how to separate herself from these things afterwards.

Neither can the people of the Mo family feel that she has betrayed her, nor can Yu Wensheng be aware that she has something to do with the Mo family.

-

The following day, the quarry was emptied and the craftsmen were temporarily housed in shanty towns awaiting the order to start work.

In such a large quarry, on a flat open space, a large iron pot was set on the fire, and Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao called for a sack to be taken apart.

The white and solid grains "crashed" were poured into the iron pot, which was the sorghum rice.

The sorghum rice was boiled and jumped up in the pot, and then water was poured into the pot. Yuan Sui was smart enough to ask someone to shovel sand and slaked lime and stir it together.

On the hill, Zheng Quchi was lying on the edge of the cliff, and couldn't help thinking: "...Either steamed and mashed, or ground and boiled into a pulp, what are you doing?"

Unsurprisingly, it failed the first time.

Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao looked at each other, and they both saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

The words of the little black mouse questioning him in public were especially ringing in their ears, and they couldn't believe it. They all got the secret recipe, but they failed because they neglected the manufacturing process?
"Continue adding to it!"

failure!

"Cook the sorghum rice first." Yin Xiao changed his mind.

"This...how much sorghum rice do I need to add?" The person who poured the rice showed hesitation, not daring to be careless about the amount.

At the same time, he felt distressed as hell.

You must know that ordinary people would not be willing to buy a catty of rice sorghum to eat during the New Year and holidays, but now they are used by the two of them to stir up mud, pouring pot after pot.

Zheng Quchi gritted his teeth.

These elders have never cooked much before, so they asked Yin Xiao and Yuan Sui, how do they know how much rice and water to add?
"Add more!"

"More!"

The two of them opened their mouths and ordered randomly, and finally cooked another pot of dried charred rice.

Yuan Sui waved his hand nonchalantly, and he even felt impatient and angry because he had failed many times.

"Dump, pour, come again!"

Zheng Quchi couldn't bear it anymore.She is in the same mood as the craftsman pouring rice, both distressed and trembling.

Those sacks of sorghum rice were all sold for money!
At this time, a force pulled her, and Zheng Quchi looked back, only to see Shan Bian, who was wearing a craftsman's costume, gesturing to her.

Do it!

She followed his line of sight and looked down at Yin Xiao, who followed Yuan.

Is this about to begin?

To be honest, now she really wants to make a fake show and get rid of Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao, who are nothing but idiots.

Zheng Quchi raised his crossbow, aimed at the two unsuspecting "prey" below, and let out a cold voice.

"Who will be killed first?"

She asked Shan Bian.

Shan Bian has no objection to this: "Whatever."

"Whatever? There is no such choice." Zheng Quchi said angrily.

"Then kill Yuan Sui first!"

"why?"

"Because... there is no reason, then kill Yin Xiao first."

"why?"

Shanbian's forehead was throbbing with blue veins: "Zheng Quchi, did you do it on purpose?"

Zheng Quchi frowned: "No, it's just that I haven't gotten used to using this new crossbow, so I'm worried that if one arrow doesn't kill me..."

But Shan Bian didn't think it was a problem: "As long as you're fast enough, you can add another arrow to them when the time comes."

"Row!"

Zheng Quchi hit the ground beforehand, and the next second, without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

I only heard two swooshes, she fired two arrows in succession, the momentum was like lightning, and she hit the chests of the two people below.

The blood spread along the wound in an instant, Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao didn't even utter an exclamation, they fell down with a "slap".

"Good job!" Shan Bian's eyes were excited.

Zheng Quchi said, "I only hit one arrow. I'm not sure whether they are alive or dead, but they are down. It's not easy to make another arrow."

"If the arrow hits the chest, he must be dead. Let's get out of here quickly."

Shan Bian took out a pipe and blew out a wisp of thin smoke that drifted away. Not long after, a sturdy and cold figure floated over quickly. After he landed, Shan Bian immediately rushed forward with Zheng Quchi.

"Master Qu, you succeeded! Now all that remains is to blow up the foundation of the city wall."

Zheng Quchi observed this middle-aged man named "Master Qu" calmly. He was tall and tall, with thick shoulders like a towering mountain. Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of long eyes were cold and sharp... A bandit leader who kills and robs.

"Okay, let's blow up the city base now!"

At this moment, Master Qu glanced at Zheng Quchi.

As soon as Zheng Quchi caught his line of sight, he lowered it.

"You don't have to go."

Zheng Quchi didn't know if Master Qu was guarding against her, or if he thought she would get in the way, anyway, she didn't intend to go, since he took the initiative to speak, it saved her from making excuses.

She nodded respectfully.

"Okay, Master Qu, be careful."

She simply turned around and left.

Master Qu stared at her back for a moment, and did not ask Shan Bian until she was far away, "Did she really do it?"

"Correct!"

"After blowing up the city wall, notify all Mohist disciples to retreat to Fu County immediately, don't worry about her."

"Why?" Shan Bian was surprised.

Master Qu said coldly, "She is no longer useful."

"But, doesn't the Mo family still need to use her to find the map of their Zheng family's mountains and rivers?"

"I did suspect that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was on her before, but after so long she hasn't changed anything, so there is no need to waste any more time. As long as there is still Zheng's blood in this world, we don't have to worry about not being able to find the Map of Mountains and Rivers."

Shan Bian was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Well, just do as you say, Master Qu."

-

Because Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao were suddenly shot by an arrow and fell into a pool of blood. All the craftsmen ordered by him were frightened and dumbfounded. After they reacted, they started screaming and running away.

The shadow left by the barbarians hadn't completely faded away, and now there was another murder, and all the garrisons were on alert immediately, patrolling and chasing and chaotic.

Just as the craftsmen and guards were in chaos, taking this opportunity, Master Qu, Shan Bian, and several other Mohist disciples went to the arranged positions and lit the black powder.

But as soon as he squatted down and took out the torch to prepare, he felt a, no, a bunch of black shadows rolling down behind him.

Shan Bian looked at the shadow in front of his heels, his pupils tightened, and he turned around suddenly, only to be covered by a black cloth bag around his upper body.

At the same time, the "treatment" of several other people is the same.

They were all gathered together, struggling desperately in the cloth bag, but their chests were beaten and their heads were beaten, punches were thrown, and they cried out in pain.

Master Li personally captured the "Master Qu" of the Mohist family. His eyes were indifferent, and he turned his back with a flick of his sleeves: "Bind up these Mohist disciples and send them to Yu Wencheng."

woohoo-

FUCK FUCK!
Hearing this, Shan Bian almost vomited blood with hatred.

Who is this man?What enmity and resentment do you have with their Mo family?

Without giving the slightest chance, he just opened his mouth and insisted on sending them to the gate of hell.

-

Zheng Quchi was flustered and couldn't calm down until she saw Master Li nodding to her with his usual expression in the midst of chaos and noise. After a moment of hesitation, she showed him a big smile.

It worked!
She made it!

Hahahaha...

She finally managed to get rid of the minions placed by her side by the Mo family... Although she doesn't know what will happen in the future, at least from this moment on, no one will stand behind her and control her every move. .

As for Master Li...

She knew that he also planned to destroy the city wall project.

It's just that he seemed to have something to hide, and he didn't want to show up in person, but focused on Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao.

After she realized this.

Then, taking advantage of the Mo family's assassination, they started to make plans in the middle of the ring.

Master Li will not doubt that she did it, and she will push everything to the Mo family.

Her two arrows seemed dangerous, but in fact they were not fatal if they were treated properly. She deliberately injured these two idiots so hard that they could not be cured, just to make Master Li lose these two controllable puppets.

In this way, Master Li's plan will be disrupted, and if no one can replace those two idiots, all actions will be postponed.

And she can't wait any longer, she has to help Fu County complete the city wall as soon as possible!

Annihilate the ambitions of this group of evil people who are behind the scenes and want to destroy the peace and stability of Fu County!

Unaware that Zheng Quchi was heading towards Master Li in Fu County with a heart, suddenly seeing her smile so brightly and sweetly to him for the first time, filled with an indescribable satisfaction and joy, he seemed to be affected by it, His face was broken, and he smiled at her inexperiencedly.
