Qiao Lian'er's eyes welled up with tears.
Her mind was racing; taking Song Laosan down with her was just a last resort.
Song Laosan is dead, and the Qiao family is dead too. Death may bring fearlessness, but it also means losing everything.
There must be a way to protect the Qiao family.
We can't just sit here and wait to die.
After drinking this water, the Qiao family members' strength secretly surged, and the strength they had expended in the rounds of fighting with the soldiers was rapidly returning.
Song Laosan was completely unaware of all this. He was thinking that he would kill the others first, but keep Qiao Yunni alive, take her to the army, and wantonly humiliate, trample on, and torture her to death.
She's so stubborn, so he'll wear her down little by little. He'll wait until she kneels down begging for mercy, looking utterly pathetic, before killing her with a single blow.
Qiao Lian'er looked at Chu Zhuo, a flame rising in her eyes.
"General Chu, my elder brothers want to join the army and make a name for themselves. Would you be willing to accept them?"
"And my uncles, they have to take care of their families and are not suitable to join the army, but they know martial arts and each of them can carry more than 300 kilograms. When you need them, they are willing to go to the front line with you and contribute their own strength."
Right now, survival is the priority.
Chu Zhuo's expression shifted.
His military roster still had two hundred vacancies because he had very high standards for recruiting soldiers, preferring to have fewer but better ones.
Seeing how capable the Qiao family members were in combat, a thought flashed through his mind: if they were on the battlefield, they would all be excellent at killing the enemy.
Although he decided to help the Qiao family, his actions were not legitimate and he was suspected of meddling too much, which would cause trouble later on.
Moreover, Song Laosan's aggressive behavior might protect the Qiao family for a while, but what about later?
If they become his people, then things will be different.
What's wrong with him defending his subordinates?
“Okay.” Chu Zhuo immediately agreed: “Your older brothers will be my soldiers from now on, and your uncles will be considered as reserves. They will be registered today.”
He looked at Song Laosan and said, "Captain Song, isn't it a bit wrong for your men to treat my men like this? You should release them."
Song Laosan was surprised that Qiao Lian'er would come up with such an idea, and Chu Zhuo immediately agreed.
According to the regulations of this dynasty, officers could not recruit soldiers on a large scale without special permission, but they could do so on a small scale, and every officer had this right to some extent.
A surge of energy rushed to my heart.
"Chu Zhuo, you'd better know what you're doing. These people disobeyed me and killed so many of my men. It's only natural that I behead them. Do you think that by taking them in, they can escape this punishment?"
Chu Zhuo smiled and said, "Captain Song, why don't we sort out the cause and effect of this matter?"
"This girl with the sickle only asked whether 70% should be collected, and she made you so angry that you wanted to kill her."
"As a general, isn't your reaction too petty?"
“Even tigers don’t eat their cubs, and she’s still your daughter. Why do you have to go to such lengths? Or do you have some personal grudge that you want to bring into the open to settle personal scores?”
