Chapter 768 It's confirmed

Yu Qiuniang watched coldly and saw that Hong Niangzi seemed to be backing down. She was suspicious. If this was Hong Niangzi's trick, then she should not let the people of the Eighteen Villages leave.

Currently, it seems that the people of Shibazhai are facing trouble in their own backyard and are returning to their own mountain. If this group makes a comeback and regroups, it will be even more disadvantageous for the First Village.

"Red Lady, do you think you can come and go as you please in my First Stronghold?"

Hong Niangzi was the first to stand up, and led her sisters to spread out and quickly cut off Hong Niangzi and the others' way down the mountain.

"Hehe, you hunt geese all day long but get pecked in the eye by them. Yu Qiuniang, I thought you were a tough nut to crack, even tougher than Yang Qing. So I kidnapped your parents and your child to the mountain, intending to keep things peaceful and let both sides stay together. I thought you would submit and I would take you in. But who knew you had already defected to the Seventeenth Village. It was all your scheme!"

Hong Niangzi regretted her actions. Tonight, she brought almost everyone from the village to the First Village, only to find that the mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, and the people from the Seventeenth Village wiped out her stronghold!

Not only that, the other chieftains who had submitted to him led their men down the mountain, leaving no one behind. Presumably, they have been fleeced by now.

Insidious, utterly insidious!

After a moment's thought, Yu Qiuniang understood what had happened. She rarely smiled and directly refuted Hong Niangzi's suspicions, saying, "The Seventeenth Chief is more suitable than you. At least he won't go to such lengths to find hostages to threaten me."

"So, you two were already together all along?"

Hong Niangzi was deceived and betrayed, and she was furious, wishing she could go and fight the Seventeenth Chieftain to the death.

"Alright, you've killed those who deserved to die. Now it's my turn to avenge my parents and son."

Yu Qiuniang's words were devoid of any excitement, then she raised her voice and said, "Sisters, let's go!"

At Yu Qiuniang's command, the sisters of the First Village immediately rushed into the crowd of the Eighteen Villages, brandishing their weapons and fighting fiercely. Tonight would be a bloody battle.

"Miss, did you order the theft of pigs, cattle, and sheep?"

Bai Cha took a deep breath, and combining the young lady's secret instructions to the guards with the changes in the situation, she was almost certain.

"Does your young lady have the ability to turn the tide?"

Lin Yuesha denied it, keeping her achievements and fame hidden.

In fact, she did not expect that Hong Niangzi would react so strongly to the raid on her home, which would trigger a series of chain reactions.

The forty-eight villages have been divided for a long time, with each village chief making his own decisions. They are not willing to submit to others; they are only seeking temporary peace for the sake of interests. Once the interests are broken, the village will collapse immediately.

Normally, the mountain stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Obtaining military supplies would require a large number of people, which is extremely uneconomical. Tonight is an excellent opportunity.

Lin Yuesha's primary goal was to gather a batch of military supplies. If she could obtain them through deception and fraud, that would be even better. Moreover, she felt no guilt whatsoever from swindling these desperate criminals; on the contrary, she felt like she was ridding the people of a scourge.

Lin Yuesha really wanted to get involved in the conflict among the forty-eight villages. If Yu Qiuniang were the chief village leader, it would only benefit her side.

During the fighting, another group of people attacked from the mountain gate, and with new members joining the fray, the scene descended into chaos once again.

Lianqiao kept sprinkling medicinal powder, and then stabbed the henchmen of the Eighteen Villages when they couldn't see clearly. She was incredibly swift in her actions.

Seeing Lin Yuesha gesturing to herself, she said, "What good things do you think the Eighteen Villages have? They're all notorious bandits who rob men and women. Anyone with a sense of justice would either leave the Forty-Eight Villages or join Yang Qing."

Yang Qing led the people of the Sixteen Villages to break through the encirclement and come to the First Village to provide support. Also coming up the mountain was the Seventeenth Village Chief with a group of people. The Seventeenth Village Chief had the same idea as Hong Niangzi: he agreed to surrender. However, Hong Niangzi did not intend to let him go, so she raided his stronghold while he was away from the mountain.

Because of a misunderstanding, the two sides fought fiercely, which ironically gave the sisters of the First Village a moment to catch their breath.

Lin Yuesha took a liking to Yang Qing the moment they met.

Appearance reflects the heart. This person looks upright and refuses to compromise his principles. He has a dignified appearance and his movements are extremely swift and fierce.

When Yu Qiuniang saw Yang Qing arrive, her expression immediately relaxed, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

The two fought side by side, and most of the people from the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Villages were killed or wounded. When the Seventeenth Village Chief and Hong Niangzi saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ordered their men to protect them and escape.

After this battle, the sisters of the First Village were also in bad shape. Lianqiao helped stop the bleeding, and seeing that the wound was too big, she looked worried.

"I have some silk thread here. If you trust me, you can let me try it."

Lin Yuesha had never treated her wounds before; she had only heard Yan Yan mention them and had seen Dr. Yan perform the procedure twice.

The wounds of the women in the first village were too large; if the bleeding wasn't stopped in time, their lives might be in danger.

"Come here."

Lian Qiao looked at Lin Yuesha and said firmly, "Miss Lin, I believe in you. If the suturing technique is really effective, I am willing to learn it first and then teach it to my sisters to contribute to the war in the Northwest."

There's no need to ask the chieftain for permission. The sisters of the First Village have always been grateful for kindness and avenged wrongs. If Yu Qiuniang doesn't allow it, Lian Qiao is willing to leave the First Village and go to the Northwest Border with Lin Yuesha.

"good!"

Lin Yuesha had Bai Cha assist her, and without anesthesia, she painstakingly stitched up the wounds. The women gritted their teeth, none of them cried out in pain, and not even shed a single tear.

The chaos lasted all night. The people of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Villages suffered heavy losses, and the other villages also lost a lot of livestock. They suspected each other of setting a trap, and no longer mentioned the idea of ​​joining forces.

People are in a state of panic and disarray; it will be impossible for them to reunite in the short term.

Lin Yuesha provided a batch of medicine for several villages and was sent down the mountain with Yang Qing.

"Chief Yang, please wait."

Lin Yuesha stopped Yang Qing and asked, "Would Chief Yang be willing to speak with me in private?"

"Miss Lin, let's talk here."

Yang Qing sized up Lin Yuesha, his lips pressed tightly together. "If Miss Lin wants to purchase military supplies, I'm afraid I can't help you."

The pigs, cattle, and sheep in the Sixteen Villages had already found merchants and had maintained stable cooperation for many years. If they were to be provided for military supplies, he could not find an explanation.

Furthermore, it is a rule that the people of the Forty-Eight Villages do not do business with the government, and this rule cannot be broken.

"What if you're no longer from the Forty-Eight Villages?"

Lin Yuesha inquired about Yang Qing's past from Lian Qiao. Such a courageous man should not be wasting his talent if he doesn't go to the front lines to fight and make a name for himself.

"In the northwest war, the border city was breached, and foreign tribes slaughtered the people on the territory of our Great Qi. How innocent the people were!"

A real man, with all his skills, leading his brothers in the Forty-Eight Villages, is he really content to be seen as a bandit by outsiders?

Lin Yuesha didn't believe it because he was an upright person, and such a person couldn't possibly not care about other people's opinions, so he was destined to live a very tiring life.
