Kang Yueran looked at Han Xiu and thought, why didn’t you come earlier or later? Why did you come tonight to encircle her?
That group of people never came into the city early or late, but now they came in.
She had a vague suspicion that something bad was wrong, so she asked Han Xiu, "You're soldiers, why don't you come here in broad daylight? Who would know if I asked you to encircle and suppress Qingping Mountain?"
"Lord Liao ordered us to attack the stronghold at night, but the sun had already set when we received the order.
Girl, we are soldiers and we have received orders from our superiors. We can’t spread it everywhere.”
Kang Yueran looked towards the official road and said, "If my guess is correct, that group of people should have been specially arranged by Liao Changsheng."
"It can't be Lord Liao. He's the one who's most cautious against thieves."
Hao Zhu added, "Isn't it said that the prefect is a corrupt official? Perhaps he is colluding with the thieves to rob the merchants in the city."
"Impossible! He's the governor of Anzhou. How is he going to explain to others that merchants in the city were killed right under his nose?"
Kang Yueran said, "What if he escapes during the chaos? Anzhou is in such a mess now. Even the Crown Prince can't save him. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to fight for his life!"
Han Xiu opened his mouth to refute, but found that what Kang Yueran said was very likely. "What should we do then?"
Kang Yueran asked sternly, "Lord Han, are you still going to continue to play the game? Liao Changsheng's escape means the court must have known about the Anzhou incident. When the court sends someone, you don't really think you can get away with it, or even get promoted, do you?"
Thinking of the disdainful expressions of their neighbors when they returned home, the city guards all lowered their heads.
Han Xiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Girl, tell me, what do you want us to do?"
Kang Yueran sneered, "What do you want me to do? I'm actually curious, when you get home from work every day, do you first crawl into your mother's arms and suck her milk?"
"Girl, there's no need to disgust us!"
"You are the ones who are disgusting! You are the city guards. The thieves have entered the city, and you have the nerve to ask me what you are going to do? What do you think you are going to do?"
Hao Zhu shouted from the side, "The city defense troops are there to protect Anzhou City, so naturally they're fighting bravely against the enemy. I know everything, why are you asking?"
Kang Yueran continued to provoke them, "Why don't I go back to the mountain first? You all take your knives, take off your pants and castrate yourselves.
When others ask you about this later, you can say that you are no longer men, but weak women who cannot take care of themselves. That is why you did not dare to fight the thieves when they entered the city. I believe that the people in the city will understand your difficulties.
Hao Zhu burst out laughing. The boss's words were too hurtful.
Han Xiu lowered his head in shame at Kang Yueran's words. He hardened his heart, stamped his feet, and roared, "Brothers, killing the bandits is justified. Let's go back to the city!"
Fan Dahu was dumbfounded. "Sir, are we really going? We can..."
If Liao Changsheng escaped and something happened in the city, the first person to suffer would be him, the head of the city defense army. Han Xiu shouted angrily, "Anyone who doesn't return to the city will be castrated on the spot!"
No man was willing to castrate himself, and the thousand men, feeling as if they had lost their parents, turned around and returned to the city.
Kang Yueran and Hao Zhu returned to the mountain village. As soon as the door opened, Kang Yueran's eyes instantly turned red.
The crowd stretched as far as the eye could see. At the front were the able-bodied men, followed by women and the elderly. Some held knives, others held sticks. All had serious expressions, ready for battle...
Hu Dacheng rushed over and shouted happily to the crowd: "The boss is fine!"
The night was too dark, and no one could see Kang Yueran's red eyes; but the night was too dark, but it did not prevent Kang Yueran from seeing everyone's red eyes.
She treated everyone with sincerity, so naturally everyone would sincerely protect her. "Go back! It's okay!"
Someone said: "The boss treats us well, and we are willing to stand together with him."
"Yes, our Qingping Village has finally started to improve under the leadership of the big boss. We must not allow anyone to come and disrupt us. Whoever comes, we will beat them up."
"Don't worry, Master. We are not weaklings. We will protect you and Qingping Manor at the cost of our lives."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Okay! Qingping Manor is our home, and I will do my best to protect you all. Don't worry, go back and rest early, because we still have to go to work tomorrow."
Everyone relaxed and went back in groups of three or four.
On the other hand, Han Xiu led the city defense troops to the city gate, but found that the gate was wide open and the yamen runners guarding the city had been killed.
He looked at the intact door latch thrown on the ground and thought of Kang Yueran's words, "So, it was really Lord Liao who colluded with the thieves!"
The group walked towards the government office. After walking for half an hour, they saw flames rising into the sky and wailing sounds not far away.
Fan Dahu shrank his neck in fear and said, "Sir, the thieves broke into the richest family, the Ou family."
Han Xiu stopped, turned around and shouted to everyone, "Brothers, follow me to kill the bandits!"
Everyone was hesitant. "Sir, do we really want to go? The Ou family is so rich and has hired many guards. They shouldn't need us to rescue them."
"Since you think the Ou family is capable of killing the thieves, what are you afraid of? Stop talking nonsense and follow me! Anyone who dares to retreat will be punished by military law!"
Military law stipulates: Anyone who retreats in battle will be executed!
