These words reassured the three women.
It's clear that Sun Jian is confident; based on past experience, all they need to do is trust him.
But to everyone's surprise, Sun Jian's next words shattered their newly built confidence once again.
"Since they dare to come after me, I don't think there's any point in having two bandit mountains anymore."
"What?"
The three women spoke in unison, stunned and frozen in place.
Even the bandit lying on the ground was stunned.
This guy actually dared to spout such nonsense, saying he was going to wipe them out?
This is an absolute joke! How can we destroy it? What can we use to destroy it?
These days, even a three-year-old knows this.
When attacking a city or fortress, surround it with three times the strength and attack it with five times the strength.
And that's assuming they're elite troops.
Moreover, the bandits of Hupan Mountain number nearly two thousand, plus their own five hundred-plus men, making it almost three thousand. Even if you include the soldiers and yamen runners in the city, the number still doesn't reach three thousand.
Which bandit doesn't have a few murders on their record? Which one of them is a good guy?
These remarks are utterly ridiculous.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Sun Jian looked around and noticed that the three women were all giving him strange looks.
"Husband...husband...you...you're going to wipe out those bandits?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
“Those were bandits who had been entrenched for many years, and there were several thousand of them.”
Sun Jian shrugged indifferently, "Several thousand men? Tens of thousands would still wipe them out!"
After saying this, Sun Jian ignored the changes in the three women's expressions and decisively walked out the door, saying, "Take him away and come with me to see the village chief first."
Watching Sun Jian's figure disappear around the corner of the gate, Gu Zijian and the others finally came to their senses, responded, and hurriedly followed.
Throughout the journey, Zhou Wan'er watched Sun Jian's retreating figure with complicated emotions. She couldn't understand how Sun Jian had managed to wipe out those thousands of bandits.
Judging from his past actions, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who makes boastful and arrogant statements.
Instead, all sorts of inexplicable and miraculous things happen each time.
She knew in her heart that Sun Jian was indeed a genius who was rare in a century. He was not only proficient in medical skills that were difficult to fathom, but he could also make many strange and wonderful things, even powerful weapons. Such a person would be a figure who would be remembered in history in any era.
No matter how miraculous or incredible it may seem, even if he were truly a celestial being reincarnated, he is still just a mortal at this moment. It is an undeniable fact that he would bleed from being wounded by bandits. How could he possibly eliminate so many vicious bandits?
Compared to Zhou Wan'er, Gu Zijian and Chu Qingcheng were not too bothered by Sun Jian's "arrogance," but were more worried about Sun Jian's current injuries.
"Don't worry, my husband is very skilled in martial arts. I've met Sister Zhou before."
Gu Zijian noticed the worry in Chu Qingcheng's eyes and offered words of comfort.
"Um……"
Soon, the four men escorted the bandit Scarface to the home of village chief Sun Liangzhi.
When Sun Liangzhi and his wife saw that it was Sun Jian, they hurriedly came out of the hospital to greet him.
"Village chief, there's no need for you to pour water. I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point."
"This man is a bandit from Wolf Head Mountain to the west. He came to the village today to scout the area, but I caught him. I reckon the bandits will come and plunder our village within five days at the latest. What do you think?"
"What? Bandits?"
"From Wolf Head Mountain?"
Sun Liangzhi was startled and looked at Scarface, who was being held by Gu Zijian, his eyes filled with panic.
Sun Jian couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking, so he kicked Scarface in the butt and said, "Hey, give the village chief some testimony."
"Brother... I'm at least a bandit..."
"Shut up! Just answer whatever I ask, or I'll cut your tongue out."
Sun Jian didn't give Scarface a chance to talk nonsense and glared at him fiercely.
Scarface shuddered in fright and quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
This man in front of me is ruthless; he's definitely not an ordinary villager.
The villagers, knowing he was a bandit, were mostly terrified and fled in panic, but this guy... he was unbelievable...
Those who know when to yield are the wise. Now that we're in their hands, they can decide whether to kill or torture us. Scarface knows this all too well.
If he were a hero with backbone, he would never have become an outlaw.
"This...this is the proof."
Scarface looked aggrieved as he rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a wolf head tattoo on his arm.
Upon seeing this, the village chief was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly and sat down on the millstone, unable to utter a word for a long time.
He had lived in this area for almost fifty years, and he had naturally seen the wolf head before; it was the symbol of the bandits of Wolf Head Mountain.
It seems the bandits are really coming to plunder their village.
"It's over, it's over, we've been targeted again."
Sun Jian leaned closer and saw that the village couple, Sun Liangzhi and his wife, were covered in cold sweat. "My God, are they really that scared? Is it really necessary?"
“How…how could it be? Our village has been targeted by bandits!” Sun Liangzhi said in a voice that sounded almost like he was crying.
"What's the rush!"
"I called you here to talk about this. I have a way to deal with the bandits, but I need your help."
Sun Jian patted the village chief on the shoulder and said calmly.
"Run! Sun Jian, quickly tell everyone in the village to take refuge in the back mountain. The terrain there is complicated, the bandits shouldn't be able to find us... Tell everyone to take some food..."
"Hey! Old man, did you hear what I said?"
Sun Jian was speechless. Why was this old man completely ignoring what he was saying and just talking to himself? Could he have been scared into a mental illness?
What did you just say?
Sun Jian rolled his eyes at the village chief and repeated, "I said I have a way to deal with the bandits, but I need your help."
"You...you're going to deal with the bandits?"
The village chief reached out and touched Sun Jian's forehead with a regretful expression. After finding that it wasn't hot, he then touched his own forehead.
“Child, in the old days, the villagers looked down on you, and some even bullied you, but that was because you were lazy and didn’t know how to eat until the steamed bun was right in front of you.”
"I admit I don't like you either, but haven't I already apologized to you?"
"You didn't even know some medicine to save the magistrate's wife, and now you've gone mad with fear because of the bandits!"
"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words."
Sun Jian helplessly shrugged. "Since you're so scared, then you can tell the villagers to run away. I'll handle the rest myself."
“Village chief, my husband has a plan to solve this problem. Why do you insist on running away first? If we run away, the bandits will burn our village down. Where will we go when we come back?” Chu Qingcheng was still defending Sun Jian from the side.
"He went to deal with hundreds of bandits?"
“Sun Jian, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but how confident are you? The villagers’ lives are precious; we can’t afford to lose them.”
Sun Jian gave a wry smile. "If you trust me and are willing to help me, I have a 100% chance of success. If you don't help me, then I only have a 70% chance."
"you……"
