Chapter 1442 Siege, Mad Couple

In this Great Wei Dynasty, besides her, a modern person, the only one capable of making gunpowder weapons is the Great Sheng Dynasty's dog emperor, who possesses the core technology for such weapons.

"But none of that matters now. In this situation, as a Wei citizen, the most important thing is to use everything at your disposal to kill the enemy and protect the people! Jiang Dalang, I hope you will not let this body down!"

This body belongs to a man from Wei named Jiang Dalang. Since he has used this body, he must take responsibility.

When serving as a commoner, he supported his family; when serving as a soldier, he fought against foreign enemies to protect the country!

“Me too. As a Wei citizen, I must shoulder my responsibilities. From this moment on, I will focus solely on fighting the enemy. If we lose, we will settle scores underground; if we win, we will deal with personal grudges!” After Qin Xiaomi finished speaking, she didn’t look at Jiang Dalang again, turned around and stepped up the stairs, running towards the city wall.

Jiang Dalang's head was throbbing with pain, and his heart was beating so fast and painfully that it felt like he was being slowly tortured throughout his chest.

He watched Su Su's increasingly blurry figure, wiped his eyes, and only then could he see her a little more clearly. Fearing that she would die with resentment again, he broke through all his inhibitions and shouted, "Xiao Mi, I have never done anything to betray you, and I have never hurt our family. I am innocent and clean, and I agree to all your demands!"

Qin Xiaomi heard this, but didn't turn around; she ran even faster.

The people present: "..."

I'm totally confused.

Are those two alright?

They seemed perfectly normal and reliable most of the time, so how did they suddenly turn into a crazy couple?!
"Hey, stop! Don't be angry, don't hit me! Give me ten counts!" Si Pei reacted the fastest, already holding the yellow talisman and jumping out to block Qin Xiaomi's way. He hurriedly asked the martial arts master to light the talisman, and holding the burning talisman, he jumped and chanted incantations.

Qin Xiaomi's face darkened, and she began to clench her fists, ready to strike.

"Don't hit me! Let me finish jumping, and I'll give you a thousand catties of grain!" This wasn't the first time Si Pei had been beaten, so he was scared.

Qin Xiaomi: "Plus two truckloads of genuine dried meat, hurry up, if you don't finish counting to ten, don't blame me for not cooperating!"

"Deal, I'll be quick!" Si Pei continued his charade, finally throwing the burned yellow talisman into a water glass and handing it to Qin Xiaomi, wanting her to drink it.

Qin Xiaomi: "..."

The others present were three crazy people!

"Please, please, I paid for this." Si Pei declared, "I'm the sugar daddy!"
Hehe, Qin Xiaomi took the water glass and splashed it on Si Pei's face, telling him: "The laws of the Great Wei state that those who engage in supernatural or disorderly conduct are not allowed to serve as officials. Even when Old Man Xun was in office, he didn't do these things. You'd better give up this hobby."

Si Feng nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right. Brother Pei, you'd better give up this shameful hobby as soon as possible. Otherwise, if word gets back to Tai Zhou Mansion, the capital, and Jiangnan, the Si family will be laughed to death."

He then urged Si Pei, "Brother Pei, let's go back quickly. The enemy is coming, and there's plague and germs. There are piles of corpses outside the city. Aren't you afraid?"

Si Pei said, "I'm not afraid, I will drive it away!"

I'm telling you to quit, not to show off!

Si Pei pushed Si Feng aside again, ran towards the steps, and said to Jiang Dalang, "Here's a yellow talisman, burn it and drink it yourself!"

He wrapped a silver ingot in yellow talisman and threw it toward Jiang Dalang.

Thump! Xiao Yi hurriedly picked it up and stuffed the yellow talisman and silver into Jiang Dalang's hands: "Commander, take this quickly, I've already paid you."

Jiang Dalang was already feeling very bad, but the commotion caused by these lunatics dissipated half of the sorrow he had accumulated over two lifetimes.

but……

"One thousand catties of grain and ten cartloads of medicinal herbs, mainly saltpeter!"

Si Pei was shocked and heartbroken: "Jiang Qianhu, you've changed! You used to be so honest and kind!" You believe me just because I'm acting?
You deserved to be ripped off.

But Si Pei admired the heroes who fought the enemy and protected the people. Moreover, if the city fell, the Si family's private granary hidden in the city would benefit the enemy. So he might as well be a generous benefactor: "Okay, here's some food, some real dried meat, and some medicine!"

Sifeng: You spendthrift!
Si Pei waved to Old Man Xun again: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, your grand-disciple has come to see you. Unlike Master Qiong and the other classmates, your grand-disciple has no worries. Isn't your grand-disciple very brave?!"

Qiong Lao and the other students had to do things to keep the people at ease in the city and had to come into contact with the people and civil officials, so it was not good for them to risk getting infected to see Xun Lao for the 'last time'.

"Your grand-disciple has already written your biography, recording your deeds to be passed down to future generations, but you must cherish your life, we'll meet again while we're still alive!"

Waaah, Si Pei really misses Old Man Xun. He thinks the old man knows a lot and has an interesting temper. He wants to hang out with him.

"Hahaha," Old Man Xun laughed, replying, "We'll see you alive! Hurry back, protect yourselves, and survive to the end so you can record this battle in its entirety! Kid, what you've done is no small matter; it's a momentous undertaking to record history for the world!"

"Rest assured, Master, we will live to the end and record the history of the world!" It was Si Feng who shouted these words; he had come to appreciate the greatness of making records.

What a great achievement! Even if he dies, he will be remembered in history.

"Hmph!" Si Pei merely snorted, without uttering any words of complaint. He was also willing to let Si Feng and the members of the Recording Society share the credit.

"Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Second Uncle Qin, Prince Ye, please take good care of Xiao Mi and Erlang Xiaozhu." After saying this, Jiang Dalang knelt down and kowtowed three times to the two elders.

He performed this grand ceremony on behalf of Jiang Dalang, and also on behalf of himself.

"Hey, you child, get up quickly! You're a hero, there's no need for you to bow so deeply to us!" Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were heartbroken and wanted to rush down to help him up, but due to the measures to prevent the spread of the plague, they had to ask Old Man Xun to help him up.

Old Man Xun didn't help them up: "You should accept the child's good intentions."

With tears in his eyes, the Prince of Ye promised him, "My dear son, take good care of yourself. Your uncle will do everything in his power to protect our family!"

Fearing that Jiang Dalang and the others might contract the disease and never see them again, the Prince of Ye, the Qi envoy, and the deputy general Lang risked their lives to come out and see them.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle." Jiang Dalang then said to reassure them, "I'm fine. I only suffered minor injuries this time. I wasn't poisoned, and I reckon I haven't contracted any diseases either. Take care of yourselves and go back. You shouldn't stay here any longer!"

Finally, Jiang Dalang looked at Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle, let's go back to the Qin Village I remember."

Uncle Qin: "..."

No, I already have doubts about both of you, and you say this, so how can I still have doubts?

But now is the time to fight the enemy, so Uncle Qin didn't delve into it further and replied, "I know, just take care of yourself. We'll wait for you to come up. See you alive!"

Jiang Dalang laughed and replied sincerely, "Okay, see you alive!"

Xiao Yi: I already find the phrase "see you while you're still alive" to be incredibly cheesy.

Boom boom boom!
"All heroes of Wei who entered the poisoning site, assemble! Enter the underground chamber for plague prevention and isolation!" Commander Gan shouted to Jiang Dalang and the others from the city wall steps, then saluted and said, "Thanks. Please take good care of Commander Gan!"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Dalang agreed. After changing into clean clothes, he led the rest of the group into the tunnel, through the tunnel, down to the secret room, and implemented isolation measures to prevent the spread of the plague.

"It's like a tomb," Old Man Xun remarked, earning glares from the crowd.

The old man pursed his lips and went to look at Commander Gan. He said the same thing again: "As long as he doesn't get a high fever, he has a 50% chance of surviving."

Xiao Yi became anxious: "You're a miracle doctor, how come there's a 50% chance of survival? Can't it be 10% or 20% more?"

Old Man Xun: "The title of 'miracle doctor' is just something others have made up. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, a miracle doctor is a doctor, not a god... You should all go to sleep. Sleeping will help you restore your energy, and with enough energy, you can fight off illness."
