The scarred man stopped everyone and said to Jing Yi impatiently, "Hurry up and do it. I can only kill one by myself."

"Do you want to chop it down?" Jing Yi asked Su Xiaoxiao.

A short man rushed out and knelt down in front of Su Xiaoxiao's carriage, "Girl, Auntie! Please, let our boss go! We won't steal your things anymore!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "If you don't rob us, you will rob others later. You have robbed a lot before, right?"

The little man choked up and said, "Girl, we have no choice. The people on the border are living in poverty. The court has reduced the number of soldiers and not even given us salaries. We were kicked out of the barracks. We brothers are also trying to make a living. Our families are almost starving to death... We only robbed the wealthy businessmen... We didn't touch a single hair of the ordinary people..."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you soldiers at the border?"

No wonder this group of people are well-trained and know how to deploy troops and use archers to attack from both sides.

The short man said, "Some are, and some are poor people who can't make a living and come to the mountains to seek refuge with us. Girl, I swear on the lives of my entire family, if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "The situation at the border is tense, we should increase the troops, why are we reducing them?"

The short man said angrily, "If the military pay is not enough, we should protect the regular army first. The so-called regular army is actually the direct descendants of the Leng family. Those of us who came later, or who are unwilling to be loyal to the Leng family, or who are injured and the court is unwilling to treat, are all expelled from the barracks by the Leng family with excuses."

A large sum of money would be paid to soldiers who were laid off, but no compensation would be required if they were expelled from the barracks for violating military law.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at everyone and asked, "Are there any members of the Wei Family Army among you?"

There was silence for a long time.

Suddenly, a pale and thin young man came out.

After a moment, a man with a limp in his left foot came out.

One, one, and another.

There were about a hundred people.

These were soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Great Zhou. Who could have thought that they would become bandits.

"Who are you under?" Su Xiaoxiao asked the first young man who came out.

"Under the command of General Wei Xu."

"And you?"

"Under the command of Lord Wu'an."

…

"Under the command of General Wei Xu."

"Under the command of Lord Wu'an."

"Under the command of General Wei Xu."

"Under the Crown Prince."

…

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the scarred man and asked, "Are you a soldier from the imperial court?"

"I'm not." The scarred man said coldly, "I will never work for the court in my life!"

It seems there is a story behind this… Su Xiaoxiao asked again: “Then are you willing to risk your life for your brothers?”

The scarred man asked warily, "What do you mean?"

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly: "No matter what your reasons are, bandits are bandits. If the imperial army comes, we must wipe them out. If you want to save these people's lives, there is only one way - surrender."

"We will never submit to the imperial court, even if we die!"

“That’s right!”

People's dissatisfaction with the court had already reached its peak.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her voice and said, "It's not submission to the court, it's submission to me."

The scarred man asked strangely: "Who are you?"

Su Xiaoxiao took out two tokens: "Qin Su from the Protectorate Mansion, Qin Canglan is my grandfather, and Wei Ting is my husband."

The short man was startled: "You...you are from the Huguogong Mansion and Wu'an Mansion? Wait, how come these two families are married? Aren't they mortal enemies?"

It wasn't about having them protect her, nor about having them rush to the front, but about having them fight alongside her.

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, as if their hearts were hit hard by something.

The scarred man looked at all his brothers and knew that they were already moved, but they had all been hurt once, so they had to be more cautious.

He asked suspiciously, "Are you really not in the same group with the Leng family?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I killed Leng Rui and crippled Leng Tiannan's legs. What do you think?"

Everyone gasped.

My goodness, what a cruel little girl!

The scarred man frowned and said, "I have to go back to the village first. If the brothers are willing, I will bring them over. If not... I will come back and give you my hand."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed generously: "Okay."

After the group left, Fusu asked, "Madam, aren't you afraid that they will run away?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "They are so hungry that their chests are sticking to their backs. If they really want to run away, they will first grab the food and then run away."

About half an hour later, the scarred man came over with a large group of people.

Fusu looked at the endless bandits and his hands began to tremble with fear.

Oh my god, how many bandits are there? Scarred Man cleared his throat and said with some concern: "Two thousand people, except for women, children and the elderly who can't move, all of them are here! Do you think we can take them all in?"

There are some disabled soldiers here, and most people only want the strong troops.

Su Xiaoxiao said without hesitation: "I can take it! Let's eat first!"

The scarred man swallowed and said, "If we don't eat this meal, can we send it to our families in the village?"

Su Xiaoxiao refused: "No."

Everyone was stunned. They thought she was a good person just now, but now she is not allowed to help her family? They are saving their own food, not asking her to pay more money -

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If they eat, you should eat too."

Su Xiaoxiao experienced the happiness of the White Lotus Sect. It was good to have gold, and to support an army.

Everyone cooked a meal on the spot. It was the only full meal they had in more than ten days.

I thought it was good enough to have white flour buns, but I didn’t expect there was even meat soup! Not only that, everyone got a piece of meat in their bowl!

They were very excited at first, but then they started crying while eating.

While everyone was eating, Su Xiaoxiao treated the wounded soldiers.

In fact, these injuries were not too serious at the beginning. If they were serious, they would not have delayed to today. It’s just that due to lack of timely treatment, the injuries worsened.

"Don't look."

A soldier refused Su Xiaoxiao's treatment.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How can I treat you if I don't see you?"

The soldier was about the same age as Jing Yi, with the innocence and shyness of a teenager. His legs were rotten and gave off a disgusting stench. He himself didn't dare to look at them, let alone let a girl see them.

Su Xiaoxiao forcibly pulled his feet over and used scissors to cut open his trouser legs and the strips of cloth that had long been stuck to the wound.

A foul stench wafted into the boy's nose, and he panicked, but Su Xiaoxiao's expression did not change at all.

"Just bear with me while I scrape off the rotten flesh."

This place was quite far from where everyone was having dinner, so people couldn't smell it, but they all knew how badly the boy's leg was injured. They saw the daughter of a wealthy family kneeling on the dirty ground, holding a rotten leg, and treating the injury seriously and attentively without a trace of disgust or avoidance.

This scene made everyone's throat ache again.

It’s the third update, my dears, see you tomorrow, you can vote for me with your monthly tickets.
