After killing Cao Rui, Sun Gan returned to his camp, gathered twenty people, and said, "The brothers here are all dead. Let's go back to the mountain tonight and inform the leader."

Someone asked, "What about Liu Xiao? The boss asked us to trick Liu Xiao up. If we don't complete the mission and don't give us the antidote, we will all die."

Sun Gan said: "Let's explain the situation to the boss. I believe he will understand. Besides, I killed Cao Rui, which shows my determination. Besides, Liu Xiao is not that easy to kill."

Everyone was silent. Liu Xiao was able to become a captain because he was not only able to lead troops in battle, but also had good martial arts. Although they had twenty people, the Liu family also had guards to watch over the house.

Moreover, if they were taken to the military camp and detained, if they went to find Liu Xiao again, it would definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. By then, if he knew that they had joined the bandits, their families might be implicated.

"Marquis, the entire barracks is infected with the plague. Do you think we will be infected too?"

"I don't know about that either. From now on, you just stay here and don't go anywhere else. We have taken the elixir, so we should be able to hold out for a while. When we return to the village, if we are really infected, the boss will save us."

No one spoke anymore and the atmosphere became silent.

They originally thought that they were the only ones who were unlucky enough to be infected with the plague, but they did not expect that all the officers and soldiers were infected. They also saw the miserable conditions of those officers and soldiers. They were in great pain and it was complete torture. It would be better for them to die.

Thinking about how they came here to suppress the bandits with high spirits but ended up being completely wiped out, Sun Gan and others couldn't describe how they felt.

I can only blame my bad luck for meeting Yiyun Village, an outlier among the bandits.

Which bandit can eat so much meat and fish, and which bandit can be equipped with such good equipment.

Sun Gan had been suppressing bandits for so many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a stronghold.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest stronghold in Yizhou, and he will become a member of this stronghold.

night.

Sun Gan, along with twenty of his men, took out all the kerosene stored in the barracks and poured it all over the barracks.

"Brothers, I'm sorry. Rather than seeing you in so much pain, I'd rather help you get rid of it as soon as possible."

Soon there was a light of fire, and soon a raging fire broke out. The barracks were built entirely of wood, and now it was doused with kerosene, burning extremely rapidly.

The officers guarding outside were shocked when they saw the barracks on fire.

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

Some officers wanted to put out the fire, but were stopped by someone nearby.

"There's plague all over here, why are you putting out the fire? It's better to burn it down so that we don't have to be blocked here all the time."

When the officer heard this, he ignored it.

Several officers watched as the barracks turned into a sea of fire in a short while, and they did not notice a dark shadow jumping out of the barracks.

Sun Gan and others stopped only after they had moved away, looking at the burning fire in silence.

He did this for two reasons, firstly to help his brothers escape, and secondly to cover up their tracks and make Liu Xiao think that they were also burned to death, so that his family could get a pension.

"Walk!"

Under the cover of night, everyone headed towards Qingyan Mountain.

…

"What? The barracks is flooded!"

After the fire was extinguished, the officer went to report to Xue Wenju. Xue Wenju was shocked and hurried over with his men, and asked someone to notify Liu Xiao.

Soon Liu Xiao also arrived. Looking at the barracks that was almost burned to ashes, his face looked gloomy, but in his heart he felt that the fire was a good thing.

All the people are dead, and no one will know that he used the plague corpses to harm his own officers and soldiers, and he can also talk about the failure of suppressing the bandits.

It's time to go back to Qingyang County to report. I have no soldiers left and there's no point in staying here any longer. But I can't just leave like that.

The barracks had just caught fire and the bodies of the burnt dead had not yet been dealt with. If he left, wouldn't it seem that he was heartless and ungrateful?

A look of sadness appeared on his face. He raised his hand and slowly stroked his forehead. He sighed deeply, with a hint of sob in his tone.

"These soldiers followed me to fight countless bandits, but I never thought they would end up like this. This captain feels really guilty."

Xue Wenju also sighed, he did not expect it to turn out like this, thousands of officers and soldiers were wiped out, it felt like a dream.

"Master Xue, please bury the bodies of these soldiers properly. I have also received news that the bandits in Yiyun Village have also been infected with the plague. Master Xue, please lead your men to wipe them out."

Xue Wenju asked, "Will Commander Liu not go?"

"I won't go." Liu Xiao shook his head. He was afraid of the plague, and he also felt vaguely unwell. He was a little frightened and suspected that he was also infected. He wanted to return to Qingyang County as soon as possible to ask a famous doctor for treatment.

Xue Wenju nodded, "Then leave this matter to me..."

…

Yiyun Village.

Sun Gan and others rushed back overnight, recounted what had happened, and took out Cao Rui's letter card. Pei Yun was a little amused.

Isn't this just shooting oneself in the foot?

He wanted to harm himself, but ended up killing all the officers and soldiers.

I had originally thought about having another battle with the officers and soldiers to train my skills, but who could have imagined this would be the outcome.

"You have worked hard, go and rest, and take this antidote."

Pei Yun bought some vitamin C and gave it to Sun Gan, and asked them to take the antibiotics again. He did not let them rest in Yiyun Village, but asked them to go to Zhongxin Village for isolation and observation to see if they would be infected with the plague again.

After taking the medicine, Sun Gan and others remembered something and hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me if you have something to say."

"Boss, I have already informed Liu Xiao that there is a plague in the village. Even if he does not come in person, he will most likely send officials to encircle and suppress it. If the officials see that the brothers are full of energy, Liu Xiao will know that I am lying. Then our family..."
