The one-eyed man had extremely mixed feelings.
There was emotion, disbelief, wonder, shock, honor, and relief... but above all, gratitude.
He hurriedly led about a hundred brothers to kneel down on the ground and kowtow to Sheng Lingwei to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Princess Chang Le. We are deeply grateful. If you do not find us rude, we are willing to serve you like a slave from now on, and be loyal to you without ever wavering, in order to repay your kindness."
In addition, we have another request.
We know that Princess Chang Le is incredibly powerful and hates evil, so we shamelessly want to stay by your side.
In this way, we can find the real culprit who orchestrated the murder of everyone in Black Wind Village.
Although my brothers and I are not very bright, we know very well that these beasts are the murderers, but they are not the ones behind the scenes.
Those who instigate them from behind the scenes are the most hateful!
We swore an oath before that we would avenge the more than three hundred people in our mountain stronghold in this lifetime, sob sob...
They were all innocent people, poor folks who were forced to become bandits just to survive, but they never did anything immoral or heinous in their lives!
To die so innocently and tragically is truly a wrongful death. We must avenge this; even if it means our deaths, we will repay this debt.
After saying this, the one-eyed man was already in tears, and the tears flowing from his eye that had no eyeball were blood tears.
"Waaah, we beg Princess Chang Le to grant our wish."
The other bandits followed suit, kowtowing on the ground and crying as they begged, "Please grant us your wish, Princess Chang Le! Please grant us your wish, Princess Chang Le!"
The people in the group looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Why!
Jing Qingyun came to Sheng Lingwei's side, draped the cloak in her hand over Sheng Lingwei, and then took her cold hand and warmed her palm with her inner strength.
Although she didn't say anything, Sheng Lingwei felt at ease, and her chest felt hot.
Sheng Lingwei sighed inwardly.
The massacre at Black Wind Stronghold was always related to her, which is why she was so angry when she saw the corpses all over the ground.
Yue Futing, Zhang Chengzong, you two beasts, you better wash your necks clean and wait for me.
Sheng Lingwei suppressed her anger, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said to the people of Black Wind Stronghold, "Get up, all of you! I will not keep disobedient people."
The one-eyed man and the others opened their mouths, looking completely bewildered. Had Princess Chang Le agreed?
Still no agreement?
Jing Qingyun smiled and said, "Black Wind, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and thank the princess. From now on, you must obey the princess's orders and never act on your own."
Black Wind is the name of the one-eyed man, and Black Wind Stronghold was founded by him, hence the name.
Hei Feng and the others were overjoyed. They glanced gratefully at Jing Qingyun and hurriedly thanked Sheng Lingwei, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."
Sheng Lingwei nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the people of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Alright, that's enough. From now on, we're all on the same side. I won't treat you unfairly, but the condition is that you must be loyal and never betray me. Do you understand?"
Hei Feng and the others nodded solemnly.
Although they were mountain bandits, they were also loyal and righteous. After acknowledging the princess as their master, they naturally would not do anything to betray her.
Otherwise, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!
Sheng Lingwei looked at Hei Feng and the others' stomachs and their injuries, her eyes growing increasingly dark.
"From today onwards, you must stop eating Guanyin clay, or your lives will be over sooner or later."
"After you follow me, I will naturally not let you go hungry. As long as you don't squander your food, I will provide you with plenty."
Black Wind and the others' eyes lit up. They wanted to cry, they really wanted to cry. They would never have to go hungry again.
Unfortunately, those deceased family members were not fortunate enough to enjoy it...
Sheng Lingwei pondered for a moment and continued, "Later, my Baiji will prepare medicine for you to expel the Guanyin soil that has accumulated in your stomachs."
At the same time, we will treat your physical injuries. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't hide it, speak up openly, and try to recover in the shortest possible time.
Remember, those who serve me represent my image. I do not want anyone who is unwell following me.
Did you all understand?
These words were not only spoken to the people of Black Wind Stronghold, but also to everyone in the team.
The extremely cold weather that will last for the next ten days or so is no joke; the coldest it can get is below minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Give them a heads-up early so they don't take their health for granted.
Before anyone could reply, Sheng Lingwei turned to Bai Ji behind her and gave her instructions.
"Bai Ji, immediately lead the doctors in the team and take the brothers down to treat their injuries. Use the best medicine and don't skimp on it."
The weather will become extremely cold soon, and it will be difficult to withstand if you are not in good health.
Bai Ji noticed the seriousness in her princess's eyes and quickly nodded solemnly, "Yes, Princess, this servant understands what you mean."
After saying that, he immediately led his men to get to work.
Seeing her princess's furrowed brows, Rong Mama felt heartbroken and hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up Sheng Lingwei's messy hair.
While organizing, I reported the situation.
"Princess, although the houses in Black Wind Stronghold are dilapidated, they can still be lived in after some repairs. There are also kang beds inside the houses, so as long as there is enough firewood, they won't get cold."
Some houses had been burned down, but fortunately, the prince and his men put out the fire in time, and at least most of the houses were intact.
Now, all the houses have been cleaned up, and everyone has been assigned their own rooms.
We have also prepared enough firewood, enough for all of us to use freely for more than a month.
What was particularly frustrating was the lack of cotton-padded clothes and quilts; everyone was wearing only single-layer clothing and the quilts were just thin blankets.
As the weather gets colder, for your health, it's recommended that everyone stay indoors as much as possible to avoid catching a cold.
Sheng Lingwei felt extremely gratified.
Her nanny, Rong Momo, was a perfect housekeeper who took care of everything, making things easy and effortless for her.
"Granny, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry about the cotton-padded clothes; my guards will deliver them before tonight."
The so-called secret guards were just an excuse; their real purpose was to take out supplies from their spatial storage.
Rong Momo understood immediately and winked at Sheng Lingwei.
Then he deliberately said loudly, "Oh my, the princess is so farsighted. We are so lucky to be able to follow Her Highness. We are truly blessed."
The people in the group nodded in agreement.
you do not say!
Fortunately, the princess was there; otherwise, these people would have been completely terrified and at a loss in the face of such a sudden event.
Princess is the best. I wish I could follow her for the rest of my life.
Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated. Her nanny was truly trying to win her favor all the time.
Rong Momo puffed out her chest proudly.
She smiled and said, "Princess, the snow outside is falling heavier and heavier. You are of noble birth and cannot afford to get cold. I will take you to your room right away."
