The day of departure arrived quickly, and before setting off, Rose did something that left everyone speechless.
"Boss, are all these really for us?" Xiao Yi's eyes shone brightly, his gaze fixed on the pile of things at his feet.
Even Yin Li, a scholar, couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.
“Of course.” Luo Xi glanced at the henchmen Xiao Yi had brought: “How can you fight a war without decent weapons?”
Although they all looked quite fierce, their equipment... not only did they lack armor, but their weapons were also a motley collection: axes, kitchen knives, rakes, hoes, and some even just grabbed a fire poker from the kitchen.
This is really...
The henchmen were ashamed under Rosie's gaze. The one holding the fire poker secretly hid it behind his back, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
On the contrary, Xiao Yi, the former leader, said cheerfully, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, leader. Although we've been outlaws for a while, the imperial court is really strict about ironware."
"It's really not easy to get some decent weapons, let alone armor. Well, hehe... we'll just have to make do with what the brothers have."
So when he first saw Rosie take out so many weapons, he was really surprised.
Luo Xi, however, was somewhat disgusted. The workmanship of this thing was really too poor, not even as good as the knives in her kitchen before the apocalypse, let alone the weapons produced in the apocalypse.
However, something is better than nothing.
Since they were all taken from the bandits' den, if we don't take them out and use them, they'll rust if left in the space for a long time, and rust will make them look even worse.
Seeing how bad the stuff was, Luo Xi didn't bother with any nice words: "Here, take it and divide it up, one set for each person."
However, Xiao Yi and his henchmen found her direct and straightforward approach quite agreeable.
Unlike some people who give you a few measly coins but act as if you've been given mountains of gold and silver.
Especially the underlings, who were initially resentful that she was a woman but the boss, now looked at Luo Xi with much better eyes.
Although the head of the household is just a young woman, she is very generous and gives away good things without hesitation.
They grinned from ear to ear, quickly tried out the items, and their smiles widened even more.
"These are really good things. This armor is heavy and looks very sturdy. And this spear is really sharp. It can definitely pierce right through with one thrust."
"Yeah, with these things, what's there to be afraid of when fighting those bastards? If one comes, I'll kill him."
Before, they could only watch others show off, but they never expected that they would get what they had been dreaming of so soon after joining the leader.
"Thank you, Boss."
They bowed respectfully, and it was at this moment that Rosie, the leader, left a slight impression on these people.
But you think that's all?
"That's wrong," Rosie waved her hand, and one after another, oxcarts were driven over and stopped on the road, piled high with grain and fodder.
"Only when you're well-fed can you have the strength to fight," she said.
Xiao Yi: "..."
"The big boss is indeed very generous." He finally managed to utter this sentence after a long while.
How come there's such a big difference between these bandit leaders? He used to barely manage to keep his men from going hungry.
Unlike Boss Luo, who can just wave his hand and a whole bunch of stuff comes out, like it's free.
“No problem.” Luo Xi said calmly, “With me, you won’t have to worry about your baby.”
The spiritual spring water is not just about improving drought resistance.
At that time, food will not be a problem at all.
"Can we go now?" Jiuxian interrupted coldly, clearly impatient.
Behind him, fifty men in black stood in five rows, completely silent. They looked like five sharp swords, quiet and chilling.
"So many people, when did you transfer here?" Luo Xi asked, somewhat surprised.
She thought that it would be good if she could get a dozen or so in such a short time.
Nine Strings' expression remained unchanged, but he patiently replied, "I have issued an emergency order; who would dare not come?"
Man in black: "..."
They really didn't dare.
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "How about we have a competition then? Let's see who kills more bandits."
Sure enough, Jiuxian's calm and unwavering eyes flickered slightly: "I will definitely win this time."
Xiao Yi was taken aback by this scene. He hadn't expected that Chief Luo and the Master of the Red Pavilion would get along so well.
It is said that the master of the Red Mansion is murderous, and no one dares to be his friend. Even Xiao Yi himself is sometimes afraid to look him in the eye, feeling that his eyes are full of cold killing intent.
He only snapped out of his daze when Rose said, "Let's go."
Meanwhile, the bandit alliance showed no sense of crisis whatsoever, still dreaming of killing Loxi and dividing up the grain and silver.
There were already a lot of people, and they weren't even from the same gang, so there was even less discipline. They dragged their feet all day and didn't get very far.
Despite having set off earlier than Xiao Yi and the others, they were still quite far from Chaoyang Manor. Sure enough, the sun had barely set when they began setting up camp.
Before long, the entire valley was filled with the smoke of cooking fires, bustling with activity.
"Hahaha, this is such a great life. I don't have to put up with that damn government anymore. I can do whatever I want."
"That's right. Once we take Chaoyang Manor, we'll have more food than we can eat and more money than we can spend. What do we care about natural disasters or corvée labor? They'll have nothing to do with me."
They ate and drank heartily, boasting loudly, their faces flushed.
