"They're all dead?"
The first person to react with alarm to Li Shiyue's orders was Sun Xiaoliu.
He was immediately frightened when he saw the icy gaze that Li Shiyue was giving him, a gaze that was completely different from before.
When Li Shiyue, who had killed nearly a hundred people that night, looked at people expressionlessly, even the most skilled soldiers, like Sun Xiaoliu, a veteran who had participated in several battles, were immediately startled by Li Shiyue's gaze, which was as if he were looking at dead people.
Wang Datou stepped forward and slapped Sun Xiaoliu on the back of the head. He bowed and greeted Li Shiyue with his hands clasped, saying, "Captain!"
Xiao Liu didn't know his place, and according to military regulations, he should have been whipped ten times!
Make a note of this!
"Once this mission is completed and we return to Andong, I will execute him under military law!"
Since Wang Datou had already said so, Li Shiyue forgave Sun Xiaoliu for interrupting when she was giving orders.
At that moment, Li Shiyue thought to herself, "They're not one of my own after all! Oh well, it's good to have a cooperation."
Seeing that Li Shiyue had turned around, Chen Yong dared to step forward, grab Sun Xiaoliu by the neck, and pull him to the back.
"He Lu!"
He Lu looked at Li Shiyue and said, "When I borrowed troops from She'er before, we agreed that you would all listen to me!"
Now, don't you understand what I'm saying?
Li Shiyue put away the blood-stained handkerchief, gripped the spotless longsword, and raised an eyebrow at the tall and strong He Lu in front of her.
"how?
"Are you going to break the contract?"
The two "thump-thump" sounds were the sound of He Lu clenching his right fist and striking his left chest.
He Lu didn't speak, only responding to Li Shiyue with two sounds.
Then Li Shiyue saw He Lu talking to the two soldiers behind him.
Turkic soldiers who could speak Mohe began to move back and forth among the crowd, asking questions. They were carrying out Helu's orders—to find all the nobles in this tribe!
Finding the person would take time, so Li Shiyue sat on the wolf-skin chair with his knife in hand, stepping on the leader's head as he waited.
While He Lu and his group were searching for people, Wang Datou and his group were also busy.
They were moving goods and counting the horses in the stables and the cattle and sheep in the livestock pens.
These are all Li Shiyue and his team's spoils of war!
It's to be taken back to Anton!
As for He Lu and his men's spoils of war?
Li Shiyue had already made an agreement with She'er that the pasture of this Mohe barbarian tribe, as well as all the other items that Li Shiyue and his group could not take with them, the surviving people, and 40% of the warhorses, livestock, and other living creatures, would all belong to She'er!
Yes, Li Shiyue and his group can only get 60% of the warhorses, cattle, and sheep.
But 60% is still quite a lot.
These spoils of war are important, but more importantly, through this surprise attack, Li Shiyue demonstrated her abilities to She'er, the new Khan, the sixth prince, Wang Datou, Gao Jin, Zhou Yiran, and most importantly, Liu Tan!
She, Li Shiyue, is not just a person with superhuman strength but no brains!
She is truly incredibly strong, bold, and daring!
If this goal is achieved, then Li Shiyue's efforts tonight will not have been in vain!
At this moment, Chen Yong, who was about ten steps away from Li Shiyue, slapped Sun Xiaoliu across the face!
Chen Yong slapped Sun Xiaoliu with great force, and Sun Xiaoliu's face immediately turned red, and soon it swelled up.
Stunned by Chen Yong's slap, Sun Xiaoliu stared blankly at Chen Yong, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
Finally, Sun Xiaoliu only managed to shout out once: "Brother Yongzi, hit me."
"right!
I'll hit you!
I'm going to hit you!
Xiao Liu! I think you've really lost sight of your own limitations these past few days!
Lieutenant Li was a woman, and her temper was indeed much better than that of the male officers!
We were lucky that she spoke to us so kindly; it's because she's a good person and willing to accommodate us.
But that's absolutely no reason for you to take advantage of me!
Sixth grade!
How dare you!
It's only been a few days, how dare you question the captain's orders?
And in front of outsiders!
Who are you and me?
He's just a low-ranking soldier without any grade!
Even if we're just scouts, so what?
Do we have anyone with the strength and archery skills of Hei Zi?
The hater is an archer!
If you want to find scouts like us, there are plenty!
Just because Lieutenant Li is a woman, someone who is willing to joke with you in private and accommodate you, doesn't make you forget who you are!
Today, if this were in front of other generals, Sun Xiaoliu, would you dare say such a thing?
After saying that, do you think you can still stand here unharmed?
A general with a bad temper might just stab you!
They might even kill you!
Chen Yong's words were like knives stabbing into Sun Xiaoliu's heart, causing real pain, but also bringing Sun Xiaoliu back to his senses.
Sun Xiaoliu suddenly pulled out the gold cup he had hidden in his chest. Looking at the gold cup, he said, word by word, "Brother Yongzi, I know I was wrong!"
From now on, I...I will never dare to do it again!
I'll return this golden cup to the captain later!
After Chen Yong had educated Sun Xiaoliu, He Lu's men also found all the people that Li Shiyue had asked them to find.
There were about ten people in a row, and they knelt for less than ten rows.
Looking at the hundred or so people kneeling in front of him, Li Shiyue nodded to Wang Datou.
Wang Datou then summoned the Xuanjia Army, and the ten men summoned were all rather robust.
The ten men, each carrying a knife, stood behind the ten Mohe barbarians in the first row.
Just as Wang Datou was about to speak to Li Shiyue, He Lu stepped forward first, bowed to Li Shiyue, and asked, "Captain Li, among them are eighteen children who are not even as tall as a cartwheel, they..."
"Kill them all."
"Lieutenant Li, in the Turkic lands..."
Li Shiyue spoke up, but Wang Datou didn't care what He Lu said.
Turning around, Wang Datou shouted to the ten Xuanjia soldiers, "Attack!"
Looking at the child with a small braid kneeling on the ground in front of him, Hei Zi couldn't bring himself to do it.
He was just a child!
He's just a child who looks about five or six years old!
Hei Zi held the knife high above his head, but the knife just wouldn't come down.
He really couldn't bring himself to do it!
Even as the smell of blood wafted over from both sides, Hei Zi still didn't look at it with the knife in his hand!
Wang Datou looked at the nine people who were already dead in the first row, and now only the one in front of Hei Zi was missing!
Hei Zi, who was being stared at intently by Wang Datou, had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.
He raised his sword again, closed his eyes, and with a burst of energy, slashed downwards!
But in the end, the knife stopped three inches above the head of the child who was gagged, bound, and kneeling on the ground!
Then Hei Zi let out a shout of "Ah!" Wang Datou was so angry at Hei Zi's lack of will that his face turned red!
Wang Datou really wanted to crack open Hei Zi's head and ask him: "When the barbarians attacked our Andong, when did they ever show mercy to our children?"
"Well, now that we're in the barbarians' homeland, you've suddenly become soft-hearted!"
Wang Datou drew the knife from his waist and walked step by step toward Hei Zi!
