Chapter 120 Would you like to sleep in the bed that those bandits have slept in?
After a brief reminiscence, the group simply occupied the hall of the bandits and sat down. Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Muhua, with complicated and weird expressions.
Isn't it complicated and weird?
A girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage took down a whole gang of bandits single-handedly. If she wanted to destroy them, it should be possible. After all, if there was a little more poison, these people would all go to hell.
Didn't you see that several of them couldn't bear it and died in pain?
Let's not talk about how she knew there were bandits on the mountain, nor how she got the juice of the poisonous grass into the bandits' food, it's incredible how she successfully avoided the sentries and checkpoints along the way with two rookies.
"Hehe, Dad, let's go back to the capital to talk about other things. Now the most urgent thing is to deal with these bandits and those who were captured."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "Hey, it's getting late now, why don't we stay here tonight! Go down the mountain tomorrow!"
These bandits really know how to enjoy themselves. Although the buildings on the mountain don't look very good, the interior is quite well decorated! Especially the house where a few skeletons live, which is not much different from the houses of the rich families at the foot of the mountain.
It has been nearly half a month since she left Beijing, and she has been sleeping in the open air, not to mention how hard it is. Before, she didn't have the conditions, and she had to hurry on the road, and she was worried about her father and eldest brother. Now they are all fine, and the bandits have been dealt with. Sleeping in the bandit's den for a night should be no big deal, right?
The people present didn't know what expression to put on when they heard her words.
This young lady looked more stable than the prince, doing things in an orderly manner, and having plans in her mind, but then she was like a child.
"Are you willing to sleep in the beds that those bandits have slept in?"
General Xu asked unhappily.
"Oh, Dad, there must be clean bedding here, let's just change it."
As for the room, there must be an empty room. Of course, she couldn't sleep in the bed that the bandits had slept in!
But, these stinky men shouldn't mind.
In addition to their group of people in the hall, all the people who were captured followed them to the hall and listened to them silently.
It was not until Xu Muhua said she wanted to stay overnight that someone bravely stepped forward and whispered, "Yes, yes, there are not only clean beddings, but also vacant rooms. One of them is the best located and decorated room here. It seems that they reserved it for distinguished guests. It is rarely used, but it is always taken care of. It is very clean. You can sleep there at night, young lady."
"Dad, look, they said they have it, so why don't we stay here tonight! And shouldn't we search this place carefully to see if we can find anything?"
Xu Jiang actually agreed in his heart a long time ago. Even if his daughter didn't mention it, he had this plan.
These bandits don't seem like ordinary bandits. Maybe they are hiding some secrets. They will definitely clean up the mess.
Besides, he also knew that his daughter had been on the road for many days to pick them up and had suffered a lot. He felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to let her spend the night in the cave.
He pretended to be hesitant for a while before he said, "In that case, let's stay in the mountain for one night and talk about it tomorrow. Now everyone should count some of the property here and search carefully to see if there are any account books or something like that."
"As for you..."
He looked at the innocent people who were arrested and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
The people below looked at each other, not quite understanding what he meant by ideas.
However, General Xu's momentum was too terrifying. They were confused in their hearts but didn't dare to ask. Instead, they secretly looked at Xu Muhua with a helping eye.
In their eyes, Xu Muhua was their reincarnated parents and great benefactor, and she was beautiful, which made people feel relaxed when they saw her. He doesn't look like her father, which is too scary! He seems to be no different from those bandits.
If Xu Muhua knew that they were thinking this way, she would definitely laugh out loud.
"Don't be afraid, this is my father. You may not know yet, my father is a famous general! Have you heard of Duke Cheng? My father is the current Duke Cheng. He is a general who protects his country and his family, and he is also a good general who protects the people of Dayong! So you don't have to be afraid, just say whatever you think in your heart!"
General? He is a general!
Everyone was stunned, and when they came to their senses, they were immediately excited. They knelt down one after another and begged him to make the decision for them.
"Don't worry, this general will definitely seek justice for you!"
"I, I want to go home, my parents must still be waiting for me!"
"Me too! My wife must still be waiting for me! When I was captured, my child was only a little over one year old, and I didn't even know..."
"I want to go home, too. My mother and I depend on each other. I was captured, and I don't even know if my mother..."
Suppressed sobs were heard in the hall.
They had been captured for different lengths of time. Those who said they wanted to go home were those who had been captured in the past two years, three or four years. Some of them had been captured for too long, and they didn't know if their families were still there, whether they could go home, or if they had a home to return to.
Especially those women, they were happy to escape from the sea of suffering, but also confused about their future.
They have been abducted by bandits for such a long time, their reputations have been ruined, can their families still accept them?
Xu Muhua's heart moved, and her eyes subconsciously searched for the little boy, and found that he was standing quietly in the corner, as if what everyone was talking about now had nothing to do with him.
She couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little embarrassed about his arrangement.
Forget it, she will mention this matter to her father and eldest brother later to see what they think.
The child looks only five or six years old, and he must not be left alone. Either see if there is someone willing to raise him, or see if he can find relatives from both his parents' families for him and send him back.
General Xu winked at a person beside him, "You handle it, find out which ones want to go home, and ask them clearly. If they are all concentrated in one place, or in a nearby place, his people can send them back. But if they are too scattered, then the local government can only handle it.
I just don't know if the local government is colluding with these bandits.
General Xu is not a fool. Even though this place is far away from the city, it has jurisdiction. These bandits can develop to such a level, it is inevitable that the government has condoned them.
I just don't know whether this condoning is intentional or helpless.
But now that he has come across it, he will not sit idly by!
