She shouldn't have said these things, but she really didn't want them to think that marrying a wife was just like hiring an old maid, so she said a few more words.

Women in this world already have it tough enough; let's save as many as we can.

Apart from Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, everyone else was stunned.

Is that so?

But in the education they received from childhood, wasn't it natural for women to serve men?

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Jiuniang knew they couldn't believe it, so she continued, "Just like your general, if he hadn't always been good to me, I wouldn't have rushed over to find him as soon as I received the letter, and I wouldn't have made sure you all had delicious beef noodles this morning."

Qin Jian, standing to the side, wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, a wife is meant to be cherished. Men who know how to cherish their wives are lucky. Just look at our General Lu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it was indeed true!

General Lu became a second-rank Assistant General of the State at a young age, an achievement that many people cannot attain in their entire lives.

More importantly, General Lu's household has no concubines, not even a maidservant, which speaks volumes.

General Lu truly loves his wife!

That's why you're so lucky!

Looking at General Qin, it was the same. Although he had only been married for a short time, he truly loved his wife, and everyone could see that.

Therefore, General Qin was very fortunate, becoming a high-ranking official at a young age.

They understood!

Therefore, they all agreed that Jiang Jiuniang was right, and that they should learn from the two generals and treat their wives well in the future.

After the jokes and banter, Lu Baichuan finally revealed his and his wife's plans.

Simply put, their plan was to first infiltrate the area, rescue the women, and then devise a way to wipe out the bandits.

Qin Jian immediately objected: "Take me with you! Take me with you!"

"The fewer people, the better. I originally wanted to go by myself, but he insisted on coming along. We can't have one more person."

Jiang Jiuniang firmly refused; she found even one in the way, let alone another.

Qin Jian pursed his lips, a little disappointed, but still said, "Alright then, I'll take the other brothers to set a trap."

Once his sister-in-law arrives, that's about all he'll be useful for.

"No need, no need for any traps. Everyone is injured, just take good care of yourselves. Leave the rest to me."

Although everyone has survived until now under the leadership of Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, and the atmosphere is quite good, it is an undeniable fact that everyone is injured. If they continue to work so hard, their newly stitched wounds will burst again.

They've done their best; now it's up to her.

What if everyone is dumbfounded and I feel even more useless?

Qin Jian looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have something good again?"

His winking and grimacing were so funny that it was impossible not to laugh.

Jiang Jiuniang nodded without hiding her feelings and said, "Of course, I'll take you to play then."

In one sentence, Qin Jian instantly turned into a docile golden retriever; if he had a tail, it would probably wag so hard it would be steaming.

"Alright, alright, then you all go ahead!"

I really wish I could send them away immediately.

Jiang Jiuniang then left with Lu Baichuan.

The most direct way to infiltrate a bandit's lair is to disguise yourself as a suffering girl and mistakenly wander into their territory.

The plot is a bit cliché, but it works!

Jiang Jiuniang dressed herself up nicely, looking like a pitiful and beautiful woman in distress.

Lu Baichuan was stunned: "No, absolutely not!"

If we walk into a den of thieves like this, it'll be disastrous!

He couldn't even control himself, let alone those bandits!

He reached out to wipe away her painstakingly applied "battle-damaged makeup," but Jiang Jiuniang slapped his hand away, saying, "What do you know? Don't mess around!"

The more outstanding you are in your appearance, the less those people will dare to covet you. If you do well, you can even make those people listen to you.

This makes things much easier.

Lu Baichuan had a blank face, clearly very unhappy.

Jiang Jiuniang tentatively suggested, "If you can't stand watching, why don't you go back to sleep too?"

Lu Baichuan: !!! Listen to this! Is he even speaking human language?!

He's furious!

But his wife was also determined to change, and he couldn't do anything about it!

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll stay outside and watch. If they dare to do anything reckless, I'll storm in."

"That's too impulsive! Don't ruin my plans!"

Jiang Jiuniang looked wary, as if he were the bad guy.

Lu Baichuan: ...

He took another deep breath and decided to go back and intensify his martial arts training. Next time he couldn't win an argument, he would just take the person away and see if she would still talk like that.

The two parted ways when they reached the foot of the mountain below the bandits' den. Jiang Jiuniang walked obediently up the mountain, occasionally letting out a howl to check if anyone was nearby.

Sure enough, no one was there. It was clear that those people had been terrified of Lu Baichuan and his group.

Jiang Jiuniang was somewhat disappointed as she made her way into the thieves' den.

There were still guards around. Upon spotting Jiang Jiuniang, someone immediately shouted, "Who goes there! How dare you trespass into our Black Wind Stronghold? Don't you want to live?"

Jiang Jiuniang was startled and immediately fell to the ground crying, "Waaah, sirs, please save me! My servant and I were returning to our hometown to visit our family when we encountered a tiger. My servant is dead, and I've gotten lost in the mountains. I haven't eaten for three days and three nights. Please have pity on me and give me a bowl of soup!"

As she spoke, she casually raised her head, revealing her stunningly beautiful face to everyone's view, causing the bandits to gasp.

Lu Baichuan, who was secretly observing with his clairvoyance, gritted his teeth, barely able to hold back!

We should have stopped it forcefully just now!

Upon seeing such a beautiful girl, who seemed like a celestial being, the bandits' attitude changed instantly. They wanted to say something lewd, but then felt that such words would defile the celestial medicine and incur divine punishment, so they asked with smiles, "Young lady, where are you from?"

Jiang Jiuniang pointed to a place in the opposite direction from Lu Baichuan and the others, and said, "In Minzhou, they hadn't gone far into the mountains when disaster struck. My poor little maid was scared to death by that tiger, waaaaah... Masters, you have no idea how terrible it was!"

She collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Her tear-streaked face was heartbreaking. Someone then asked, "Do you know who we are?"

"No matter who it is, as long as they're human! I haven't seen anyone for days, I'm so scared, sob sob sob. You are my saviors, my benefactors, I kowtow to you..."

As she spoke, she was about to kowtow. The bandits, pleased by the flattery, immediately said, "Alright, alright, get up quickly, stop lying on the ground. Come on, let's go back to the village!"

The man who spoke was in his thirties, fairly good-looking, with a muscular build. Jiang Jiuniang glanced at him and then lowered her head shyly, saying, "This gentleman is quite handsome; he must be an important figure here?"
