“Yes, in this world, what’s wrong with catching some women and children and selling them to brothels? There’s food in brothels, so we’re saving them…”

"Shut up!" Before they could finish speaking, Gu Yanwu kicked them several times, causing their noses to bleed.

Seeing this, Qin Yue Zhao quickly stopped it.

"Gu Yanwu, don't act rashly!"

He glanced around at the bandits and asked, "You said there are still many elderly, weak, women and children in the mountain stronghold. Is it because of these people that you came down the mountain to arrest people?"

The men wiped the blood from their noses, their eyes filled with hatred.

"What else can we do? Our brothers have been killed by corrupt officials, we can't abandon their families!"

Qin Yuezhao was not angry at all; instead, she smiled.

Surprisingly, these bandits, who seemed to have committed heinous crimes, were not entirely evil people.

"If I told you that I could feed your entire village, would you be willing to follow me and never cause trouble for the people again?"

Huo's army immediately objected:

"Your Highness, you recently took in tens of thousands of refugees, and now you want to take in three thousand bandits and their families. How much food and supplies will it take to settle them?"

"Yes, Your Highness, these scoundrels are stubborn and unruly. What if they become uncontrollable?"

Even Chen Wan'er looked at Qin Yue Zhao with concern.

I don't really agree with what she did.

However, Qin Yue Zhao looked at these people with unwavering determination and spoke again: "Are you willing, or not?"

The bandits looked at each other, hesitant and uncertain.

"Do you know that our village has nearly five thousand people? How much grain do you have to feed us?"

Qin Yue Zhao took a deep breath and asked in return, "You must have stolen a lot of gold and silver jewelry when you robbed officials and merchants before, right? I will have as much grain as you have gold and silver."

Gu Yanwu's eyes lit up.

"Does Your Highness mean that if we give you gold and silver, you can feed our entire village?"

"It's not for me," Qin Yue Zhao looked at Gu Yan Wu and pointed to the flying machine on her body: "It's a gift for the gods."

Upon hearing this, the bandit whose broadsword had been pierced by a steel ball raised his head with lingering fear and knelt down first.

"Your Highness, as long as you give me food and drink, I'll be willing to serve you like a slave, really!"

Upon hearing this, the bandits nearby all looked at the speaker, each revealing a disdainful expression.

However, the next second, a thunderous cheer erupted from behind:

"And us too, we are willing to follow Princess Daqian!"

Those bandits were dumbfounded.

Finally, Gu Yanwu walked up to them and exhaled deeply:

"What's wrong? Weren't you just swearing that you were thinking of your family? Now that there's food and a way to survive, why are you refusing to agree?"

The bandits twitched their lips awkwardly.

Finally, he knelt down in front of Qin Yue Zhao.

"Please, Your Highness, give us a way to live! We are willing to serve you like cattle and horses!"

Seeing this, Qin Yue Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Ling Tianen rushed out from the corner with a grin.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! I have successfully completed the bandit suppression mission as expected. You cannot go back on your promise to me, can you?"

Qin Yue Zhao glanced at Ling Tian En, then pointed to the bruised and battered Huo family soldiers and the bandits of Qinglong Mountain.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you! You said you completed the mission, is this your method and skill?"

Ling Tianen scratched his head awkwardly: "This, this was just my scheme!"

"I originally intended to use this as a starting point to persuade the bandits, but I never expected that the bandit leader would be your longtime friend."

"Throwing out a brick to attract jade?" Qin Yue Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "What brick?"

Ling Tianen proudly pulled out his tablet computer, grinning, "See? It's exactly what it is."
