Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...When You Guangchao saw Ying Guangming was angry, he immediately changed his face and said humbly, "Brother! That's not what I meant. If you want to punish the people from last night, then punish them! I'll take people to find them right away."
Ying Guangming waved to the others around him, tied up all the people who were on duty last night, and threw them into the Baishi Cave.
It was not enough to just tie up the people who were on duty last night, so they also tied up their families and locked them up. Except for the few people that You Guangchao took away, all those he brought with him were locked up in the cave.
The other bandits didn't know why the boss suddenly attacked the second in command, and they all tried to persuade him and speak well of You Guangchao.
"Boss, the person the second boss arranged didn't fulfill his responsibility and lost the child, but there's no need to lock him up!"
"Brothers are all very dedicated. If there are small mistakes occasionally, don't take it too seriously. Just turn a blind eye and let it go."
"Second in command has done his best. It is not his fault if his subordinates made a mistake. He has already led people to look for her, and they will definitely find the girl."
"It's all that damned little girl's fault. If it weren't for her, the boss wouldn't be so angry, and the second in command wouldn't be locked up."
Hearing that everyone around him was on You Guangchao's side, Ying Guangming felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. He had never thought that You Guangchao would betray him, and he had never been on guard against him.
So, were all the people around him bought off by You Guangchao's small favors? If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears last night, he would have no idea that his territory had attracted the Xizhao people.
"Shut up!" Ying Guangming shouted angrily at his subordinates, his eyes sweeping across their faces one by one, "Fengzhou has been returned to Dongsheng. Remember one thing, people of different races are punishable by death."
It was rare for the subordinates to see the boss speak so harshly. Everyone looked at each other and immediately understood that the second in command was not from Dongsheng, but from Nanyun.
"Oh! I forgot, the second in command is not from Dongsheng, he is from Nanyun. In the past, we were under the jurisdiction of Nanyun, so we could be said to be one family. Now that we are separated, the second in command is no longer one of us."
"So, the Second in Command is leaving our Meishan Fort?"
"He is not from Dongsheng, so he must leave. I think what the boss said is right. People of different races are worthy of death, as can be seen from what happened last night."
"Yes, I've come to my senses. If he doesn't even care about the guests invited by the boss, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
"But the Second Master has been getting along well with us for so many years. We can't lock them up just because they are not from Dongsheng! That's too inhumane."
Ying Guangming was not afraid to tell everyone that You Guangchao's identity would be revealed sooner or later.
"They are not from Nanyun, but from Xizhao."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of surprise.
"What?"
"Ah? A Xizhao person?"
"It's really scary when you think about it! If they are from Xizhao, they really can't be kept. The boss is right."
"Brothers! The second in command, no, the man surnamed You has been lurking in Meishan Fort for so many years. He must have his ulterior motives."
"Yes, yes, yes. We can't let our guard down. We should capture them all, including their offspring. Xizhao is thousands of miles away from here. What are they doing in Meishan? They obviously have bad intentions."
Ying Guangming ordered: "Immediately, arrest all the people brought by You Guangchao and lock them up in Baishi Cave. No one should be left behind. They came to Meishan to look for something. But they haven't found it yet. If they do, we will all be dead."
After hearing what was said, all the bandits were horrified and quickly took orders and went out to gather people to capture You Guangchao.
You Guangchao and his men did not go looking for Chu Xiaoxiao at all, but were just wandering in the mountains. Unexpectedly, a group of people came from behind and captured them without any explanation.
"Brothers! What are you doing?"
You Guangchao did not resist and obediently followed the people who captured him back. The real reason was that the thing had not been found yet, and he could not fall out with these people for the time being.
Although he has a lot of people under his command, compared with the entire Meishan Fort, the number of people he has is not enough.
Ying Guangming ordered people to tie You Guangchao to a pillar in the parade ground, without saying why he was tied up.
You Guangchao saw that he was serious and felt uneasy: "Brother! What are you doing? We are brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. Why are you tying me up?"
"Talk it over? There's nothing to talk about between us." Ying Guangming ordered the others, "Bring all the Xizhao dogs here and tie them up together. You Guangchao! Aren't you going to set fire to my Meishan Fort? I'll set fire to you first."
By now, You Guangchao already knew that he was exposed. He looked at Ying Guangming coldly and did not make any more excuses.
There's no point in quibbling. Even his identity is known, so there's no point in saying more.
After hearing Ying Guangming's words, the people of Meishan Fort were all filled with indignation towards You Guangchao and the brothers he brought with him.
"The aliens are so cruel that they actually want to set fire to our Meishan Fort. Boss! Let's kill them too. Brothers! Prepare firewood."
"yes!"
There was a response from below, and then someone brought firewood and piled it at the feet of the Xizhao people.
At this critical moment of life and death, everyone must work together.
You Guangchao sneered: "Ying Guangming! You are finally smart for once, but unfortunately you are still no match for me. Playing with you is like playing with a fool.
Burn me to death? Do you have that ability? We are the divine soldiers of the Xizhao Witch. If you don’t believe me, light a fire and see if you can burn us to death.”
"If you can't burn to death, you have to burn it. Prepare firewood, pour kerosene on it, and burn it."
At the command, everyone sped up. Within a quarter of an hour, the firewood was ready, the kerosene was poured on, and someone threw down the fire.
"boom!"
The fire spread instantly, flames shot up into the sky, and heat waves came over us.
You Guangchao spat out something from his mouth and it fell into the fire. The flames turned strangely and did not burn towards them, but actually rushed directly towards Ying Guangming and the others.
Fortunately, they were far away and the flames did not burn them.
"Hahaha! Ying Guangming! You didn't expect that! My brothers and I have been blessed by the witch. You want to kill us? Dream on! But you, do you still want you and your brothers to live?
If you want, let us go. Otherwise, I will cast a spell and the fire here will go straight to all of you."
"You can't do it." Ying Guangming replied domineeringly, "The national teacher I brought back will not watch you kill us."
The bandits nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what the leader was talking about. Wasn't the imperial master missing? Where could he be?
"National Master? Hahaha! Ying Guangming! You are just an idiot." You Guangchao laughed, "You don't know yet? Your National Master is dead. I threw him off a cliff and he died."
