Gaotang County.

Bang!

"If I don't avenge this, I will not be a human being!"

Ning Que smashed the wooden table into pieces with one palm.

Looking at the two heads, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The only young man left fell to his knees.

He was ordered to go to Lishan to negotiate surrender.

Unexpectedly, Ma Gang was unwilling to surrender at all.

Stop the three of them directly.

Then he killed the other two!

He also cut off two of his fingers.

Let him go down the mountain with the head!

Ning Que felt cold all over and stepped forward to help the young man up.

"You don't have to blame yourself."

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

"You should step back and have a good rest."

"Your Highness, we must avenge them!" The young man knelt on the ground. "These beasts have no humanity at all. They cut off their heads alive!"

"Bai Yu!"

"I will be here."

"Pass on my order. Reorganize your personal guards immediately and flatten Mount Li for me tomorrow!"

"Ah?" Bai Yu was immediately startled and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Your Highness, calm down... The terrain of Mount Li is complex and there are many hidden guards. The Ma family army is extremely brave and ruthless, with nearly two thousand soldiers. If we act rashly, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Ning Que turned around and shouted angrily, "They even dared to kill the envoys we sent. Such humiliation and provocation, if you tolerate this, don't even think you are a member of the Ning Wang Army!"

"promise!"

Bai Yu didn't dare to say anything more and quickly agreed.

He knew that Ning Que was really angry this time.

Don't expect to be able to persuade someone in this situation.

Ma Clan Army, ah Ma Clan Army, who else can you mess with than the prince?!

Ning Que's treatment of the people was impeccable. He was usually kind and gentle, and seemed to have no temper. Even if someone was rude and disrespectful to him, he wouldn't take it too seriously. But this time, the Ma family army had crossed Ning Que's bottom line!

Of course, the Ma family army could choose not to surrender.

But he should never have killed the envoy!

This is not only a provocation to Ning Que, but also to the entire Dafeng!

“Remember!”

"No surrender in this battle!"

"Anyone wearing a weapon will be killed!"

Ning Que spoke coldly.

People like this must be dealt a heavy blow!

One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming.

At present, there are many bandit strongholds of all sizes in Linzi.

The Ma family army killed his envoy. If he did not retaliate severely, how could the mountain strongholds behind him surrender willingly?

He wanted to use the demise of the Ma family army as a warning to these people. If they surrendered honestly, there would be a way out, but if they dared to resist stubbornly, they would only die!

Ning Que came to Gaotang this time to inspect the people's livelihood. After all, Gaotang was considered a poor county within Linzi. He had heard that Bai Yu had made a lot of money by beating up the local tyrants, but he didn't expect to receive such a big gift!

"Tie Niu, bury these two first."

"promise."

Shen Qinghe stood by Ning Que's side, offering him a cup of cold tea. After his anger had subsided a little, she whispered, "Husband, it's best not to be impulsive. The Ma family army is clearly deliberately provoking us. A rash attack will inevitably result in many casualties. Divine Doctor Chang hasn't arrived in Gaotang yet, so why don't we wait a little longer?"

"No need."

Ning Que looked at the scorching sun above his head.

"I've already made plans to deal with these bandits. However, I've always felt the need to consider casualties, as they'll be a valuable resource in the future. But now that they've dared to kill the envoy, I no longer have to worry. This battle is a perfect opportunity to establish my authority and prevent other bandits from following suit. Once they see my resolve, they might be terrified and surrender."

"Too."

Only then did Shen Qinghe nod in agreement.

"It was just a violent attack on the bandits. In terms of casualties..."

"Qinghe, what's the weather like now?"

"It's a clear autumn day, so it should be sunny soon."

"So, guess what?"

"Fire attack?"

"clever!"

Ning Que smiled and nodded.

As the saying goes, if there's a fire on the mountain, I'm in the station. I set the fire in the morning, and I'm in the station in the afternoon. A fire in the mountain, and the director falls in love with me. A wisp of smoke in the woods, and a three-thousand-yuan fine!

It was autumn, and Gaotang was quite dry. He only needed to set a fire to inflict heavy casualties on the Ma family army. No matter who rushed out, he would kill them first!

Shen Qinghe walked out of the county government office.

Feel the breeze blowing.

"But setting fire to the village is not easy."

"Using bows, crossbows and rockets, I'm afraid the distance isn't enough."

"The village is located halfway up the mountain, commanding the surrounding area."

"We're not planning on using arrows, so we'll just use giant stone cannons." Ning Que remained calm and continued, "Also, do you remember the kerosene we found a few days ago? There's a mountain in the south of the county where a spring of rock emerges. It's as big as a rock, and it burns so brightly that it's inedible. The locals call it lacquer."

"Ah... is this useful?"

"Yes." Ning Que nodded. "If this thing is ignited, it will not extinguish even if it comes into contact with water. Originally, I didn't want to do this, after all, it would cause many innocent casualties. But these beasts are simply hopeless. In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!"

"That's fine, as long as you think it's okay."

Ning Que turned around and looked at Shen Qinghe.

The latter was seen as somewhat baffling.

Her pretty face blushed with embarrassment.

"My husband, what are you looking at me for?"

"Do you trust me so much?"

"Of course." Shen Qinghe took Ning Que's arm and said softly, "You are my husband, so naturally I trust you. Besides, you have never done anything wrong. Even father admires your character, and you have been able to remain calm from beginning to end. Since you have made up your mind, you must have your reasons. If you want to kill them, it means that they have made a huge mistake."
