Chapter 217 Danger is coming
"Okay, but I still need the old marquis's help."
"Just say it."
"Give me your men as well! We can all be together."
"Okay, take this." The old marquis took out the token and handed it to Su Qing.
"Thank you, old Lord~"
"We're a family, there's no need to be so formal."
Su Qing was flattered by the old marquis' words. They didn't treat Su Qing as a family member before. Even if she gave birth to Nian'er, it was a favor to let her see him.
What is this? A friend in need is a friend indeed?
Su Qing brought Jiang Nian, the old marquis, the old lady, and all the servants to Yilan Courtyard.
Gathered all the slaves, servants, and guards.
"Today, we have gathered everyone here because I have something to tell you. There has been a coup in the palace, and the Marquis has not returned from the palace. Our situation is very dangerous, and now we have to protect ourselves. There will be a tough battle tonight. Don't be afraid. All the weak servants will stay in Yilan Courtyard tonight, and all the servants and guards will join the battle preparations. I have arranged secret guards for the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, and there are several small corner gates. Each corner gate has two guards and a servant. Everyone has a weapon. No matter who knocks on the door tonight, we will not open the door. If someone breaks in by force, we will close the door and catch the thief. Do you understand?"
"Everything will be arranged by Auntie." Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, Ruhu, Xiaochen, Xiaoyu, go to the outer courtyard and make arrangements. Lengze, you will be responsible for arranging the appropriate weapons for everyone. Ruxue and Rumei, you will arrange the servants. Old Marquis, Old Madam, let's go in first. I'm afraid that tonight will be dangerous."
"Qing'er, is there any news about Jing'er?"
"Not yet, wait until Ruyi comes back!"
After Su Qing explained everything, she didn't care about it anymore. She wanted to see what use the medical supplies in the space could come in.
Sigh~ In the novels I read before, other people's spaces have everything, but why is it that my space only has medical supplies? Suddenly I feel that it would be better to have weapons. Weapons? Yes, scalpels, although small, are extremely sharp. No, it's not the right thing to do! What should I do? Use drugs to knock them out? If there are too many people, it is impossible to knock them all out at once?
Su Qing paced back and forth in the room. Her space was exactly like a pharmacy in a hospital, with all kinds of medicines and surgical equipment. It would be no problem to exchange the medicines for money to support herself, but if there was a war, they would only be useful to save people. What should she do? She didn't know martial arts yet.
Oh, Xiao Qi? But Xiao Qi won't be in the city, so I should have a secret signal with him.
Finally, she decided to make more drugs, just in case they might be useful.
Su Qing was busy in the space for the whole afternoon. Then she asked Wu Yanran to distribute the drug to everyone, telling them that it was a drug and they could sprinkle some at the critical moment.
Night quietly came, and the atmosphere around became unusually tense. It was so quiet that it was scary. Everyone was on standby at their respective posts.
There was already a circle of people gathered outside the mansion, all waiting for the late night when everyone was most relaxed.
Su Qing, the old marquis, and the old lady were all sitting and drinking tea when a servant suddenly came to report, "It's bad. The outside of the marquis' mansion has been surrounded."
"Why are you panicking? The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're the first to get scared? Tell everyone to be prepared and be on standby at any time."
