The leader of the men in black, who had been following behind the group, was quite puzzled.

"Why did they stop?"

The second-in-command in black beside him didn't seem to care.

"Looks like they want to swap cars with those two kids. Let's wait and see! If things don't look right, act immediately!"

Qinling then looked at Mu Xiao.

"Young man, would you be willing to fight alongside us? If not, we will not force you!"

Then he bowed to Mu Xiao again.

"Could you please look after those two children for me and get them safely to Qixia Village? Thank you!"

Everyone watched Qin Ling bow and followed suit, but Mu Xiao immediately stopped them.

"Old sir, what are you doing? You are all implicated because of me and my young master. How can I flee without a fight? I cannot dishonor my master's reputation!"

Mu Xiuyu looked at Mu Xiao with red eyes and gave the order.

"Mu Xiao, I command you to protect them and fight to the last moment. If you perish, I, the young master, will grant you a grand funeral and place you in the Mu family cemetery!"

Mu Xiao knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mu Xiuyu.

"Mu Xiao obeys, and thanks the young marquis for his great kindness!"

Mu Xiuyu turned his face away, not wanting Mu Xiao to see his tears.

The leader of the men in black was puzzled.

"Why are they bowing to each other? Sixth Brother, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Isn't that child the heir of the Marquis of Anding?"

The man in black got angry at what he said.

"Brother, why are you still doubting people? I saw it; that child was crying so loudly. The prince was poisoned by the Eighth Prince. Have you ever seen someone who's been poisoned by the Eighth Prince still howl so loudly?"

The leader of the men in black fell into deep thought: 'Then... let's wait and see!'

Qin Yunyuan led over a carriage for Qin Luo and the young marquis to sit in. Inside the carriage, Qin Luo looked at Mu Xiuyu, who was crying uncontrollably.

"Little one, you've got the air of a prince! That was so princely just now, so cool!"

Mu Xiuyu didn't understand: "Huh? What's handsome? The schoolteacher in the manor said that's exactly what my grandfather used to say to his subordinates!"

Qin Luo handed him a handkerchief

"Oh? You've actually learned it quite well! Here! Wipe your tears, I'm going out to say something to my uncle!"

Qin Luo got off the carriage and saw Qin Yunyuan, Qin Ling, and the villagers and clansmen. They were preparing to load the things they had bought onto the carriage; although it wasn't much, it was something they could give their families as a final gift.

Qin Liang saw her get off the carriage and immediately rushed over.

"Qin Luoluo, hurry upstairs! Don't run around like a little kid!"

Qin Xian grabbed her and shoved her into the carriage.

Qin Luo whispered to Qin Xian

"Uncle, don't try to stuff this into my hands. Lord Kang asked me to get you some things. Quickly, call my uncle and we'll go to the donkey-hide gelatin shop together!"

Qin Xian immediately put down the small toothpick in his hand.

"I knew Kang Daren was reliable; he's the one for you in crucial moments!"

After saying that, he pulled Qin Liang to walk to Ejiao's side, completely blocking the little dwarf Qin Luo.

Qin Luo shoved five stun guns into their hands.

"There's a switch here. Turn it on and it'll electrocute anyone. Lord Kang borrowed it from the Thunder God; it's filled with the power of lightning. So, whatever you do, don't point it at your own people! They'll die!"

Qin Liang and Qin Xian were flattered.

"When Lord Kang went to borrow things from the Thunder God for our sake, what merit did we have to deserve this!"

As Qin Liang sighed, he placed the stun gun on the donkey cart, waiting for what was to come.

Qin Luo thought to himself: Uncle, you're such a drama queen!

Then she took out ten large machetes.

"Little Uncle, Lord Kang said this works well too!"

Qin Xiankuang nodded: "It's useful, it's useful! This big sword looks painful!"

Qin Luo gave them ten more short knives, which he had collected at the base.

She hadn't used those stun guns after fully charging them, but they still had power after just testing; one more use shouldn't be a problem.

Qin Xian held the short knife with great delight.

"Luo Luo, if we're alright this time, could you, could you let me, as someone who reveres Lord Kang, give me one?"

Then, Qin Luo heard the nine words Wu Hua shouted in her childish voice.

Give it to him, quickly, immediately, right now, give it to him!

Qin Luo sighed, knowing full well that Wu Hua would eventually be swindled out of his entire fortune!

Qin Luo cleared her throat, seeing the expectant look in Qin Xian's eyes.

"When Lord Kang said, 'Except for this stick borrowed from Lei Gong, everything else is yours for the taking, you don't need to return it!'"

Qin Xian was so happy upon hearing this that he almost jumped for joy.

Mu Xiao saw Qin Xian frolicking not far away, then asked Qin Ling...

"Uncle, the fight is about to start, why is he still so happy?"

Qin Liang glanced at Qin Xian and knew that Qin Luo had given him something good, so he just gave a perfunctory reply.

"Ignore him, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a kid!"

Mu Xiao murmured, "I really didn't realize that!"

After moving their things, the group gathered together. Qin Ling pulled Qin Luo to his side and said cryptically.

"Everything's moved, hurry back to the carriage!"

Qin Luo didn't say anything more and obediently returned to the carriage.

Qin Liang looked towards the Qinling Mountains

"Uncle, we still have all the stuff we stole from the bandits last time! Let's each take one item for self-defense!"

Qin Ling immediately understood and nodded: "Okay, give one to everyone!"

Although the clansmen and villagers knew that the bandits had left nothing behind, no one asked, after all, Mu Xiao was an outsider.

Qin Liang distributed the short swords and broadswords, leaving Mu Xiao dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: Are bandits' weapons this good now? They're even better than what they use in the army. Should I ask the Marquis to send more men to suppress the bandits when I get back?
