Chapter 386 Don't underestimate any woman

"Go ahead, brothers!"

The second in command was the first to be attacked and led his men straight to Xie Zhuoning.

"You're just in time." Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled slightly, held the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, and "swish" several arrows were fired at the same time, knocking down a group of people.

Looking at the wailing everywhere, the second in command's face turned pale. He never expected that this woman, who looked so frail, actually had such a skill!

The other thieves who had not been hit saw that the situation was not good and dared not get close to Xie Zhuoning anymore. They turned around and rushed towards Xia Ju.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ju turned the bracelet in her hand, and her eyes suddenly became fierce and cold, "You are looking for death!"

She moved back and forth among the bandits like a ghost, splashing blood wherever she went.

Even the second in command was beaten back by her and became extremely desperate.

He gritted his teeth, feeling impatient, "Damn it, am I going to die at the hands of these women today?"

His gaze turned and fell on Song Yuqiu, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The girl had been hiding timidly behind people since she came in. It was obvious that she had no martial arts skills and was definitely the easiest to control.

He immediately ordered everyone, "Catch her!"

The bandits immediately brandished their weapons and rushed towards Song Yuqiu.

"No...don't..." Seeing this, Song Yuqiu immediately shrank back and looked extremely scared.

The thieves were immediately overjoyed, thinking they had finally gotten the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, when they all rushed over, Song Yuqiu changed from his previous timid attitude, raised his chin, and with a smile on his face, he sprinkled a handful of brightly colored powder at them.

"Hey, crazy and carefree fans, enjoy it, you're welcome!"

The poison powder was inhaled through the ears, nose and throat. The thieves' eyes instantly became dull. They began to shake their heads, cry and laugh, sing and dance, and some even wrestled into a ball.

"I am a little bird, a free little bird, I can fly~"

"Hahaha, I'm finally the boss! Hurry up and tell those three idiots to crawl over and pay their respects to me!"

"Get out of here, I'm your dad!"

Even the second in command was not spared, hugging a tree and kissing and hugging it, "Sister-in-law, my elder brother is a rough man and doesn't know how to be sympathetic to women. Don't be sad, I will take care of you."

Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu looked at each other in surprise——

Oh, there is a surprise?

On the other side, the big boss was kicked in the chest by Xiao Jinxuan. He stepped back and steadied his steps, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, he heard the absurd words from his second brother, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Lai Lao Er, how dare you set your sights on your sister-in-law? I'll kill you!"

Having said that, he wiped the blood from his mouth, raised the halberd and chopped at the man.

The second in command was stabbed in the arm, and the severe pain made him sober up. He shouted, "Brother, I didn't mean that. I was framed. There was something wrong with the powder. Believe me! The third in command can't stand up anymore. If you and I continue to fight among ourselves, the Green Forest Alliance will really be destroyed!"

These few words were like a bucket of cool water poured over his head, and the boss's head, which had been blinded by anger, calmed down.

Yes, now that a powerful enemy is in front of them, if they don’t unite as one, the Green Forest Alliance will probably be handed over to others.

He glared at the second in command fiercely, snorted coldly, but finally put away his halberd and did not attack again.

The second in command heaved a sigh of relief, not even bothering to take care of the wound on his arm, and quickly expressed his attitude to Xiao Jinxuan and the others, "Everyone, please don't do it again. Everything can be discussed, everything can be discussed."

Having said that, he immediately called for people to clean up the messy Zhongyi Hall.

Both sides took their seats.

The big boss raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinxuan sitting opposite him. He saw that even his sitting posture was dignified and unrestrained, exuding nobility. Between his eyebrows, there was also the pressure of a superior. He secretly groaned in his heart.

He too, how come he didn't see that these people had extraordinary demeanor and were not here with good intentions?

He lost all face in this fight. How could he hold his head up in front of his brothers in the future?

The second in command bent his waist and smiled cautiously and flatteringly, "Excuse me, everyone, what should I address you?"

This time, the attitude is much better than before.

It seems that using fists is much more effective than talking about principles.

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "You don't need to know all this. Just tell me whether my conditions are acceptable or not."

Speaking of this, the first and second in command immediately showed bitter expressions, "Master, can you at least raise your hands and reduce the amount a little? We brothers have so many brothers to support, and we also need to eat. If you take 20%, we really can't survive!"

At the side, Xie Zhuoning gently stroked his round nails and smiled, "It's meaningless for the two bosses to say this. You collected so much tax, and we only need 20%. How come you can't survive? Are you looking down on us and want to try to write the word death?"

Although the tone was not high and the expression seemed nonchalant, it was full of intimidation.

After the fight just now, the bosses understood one thing - never underestimate any woman!

The second in command quickly explained, "Madam, please don't misunderstand me. We are telling the truth. It's not that we don't want to give it, but we really can't give it!"

Xie Zhuoning raised his almond-shaped eyes slightly and asked casually, "Oh? Then where did the tax money you collected go?"

The two bosses looked at each other and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows slightly and said directly to Xiao Jinxuan, "Husband, look at them, it seems that they don't want to cooperate with us."

The sticky and soft sound is like acting coquettishly.

But a single word can determine their fate.

Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "In that case, then chop off the head and use it to build the wall, chop the body into pieces and throw it into the valley to feed the wolves."

After receiving the order, Xia Ju immediately dragged out the dying third brother, sharpened his knife, and slaughtered him like cattle and sheep.

“Crack—”

One arm was chopped off.

The Third In Command cried out in pain and almost fainted.

He had killed countless people in his life, but he never thought that he would end up like this.

This scene made the first and second in command's hearts beat with fear.

These guys are serious!

That's right, with only a few people daring to break into the bandit base, what can't they do?

Originally the two of them were planning to conceal and make up some stories, but now they just dumped everything out at once.

"Most of the taxes were collected by the Xichuan Army, so we only earned our hard-earned money. Moreover, General He has set new rules this year, and the taxes we pay have to be increased by another 10%."

"But now Xichuan is notorious. Few people come here anymore. The big and small cottages can't even support themselves. Where can they get the money? We are also worried about this!"

So it’s not that they are lying, but they really can’t afford the 20% tax!

"General He..." Hearing this name, Xie Zhuoning paused for a moment and thought, "He Wenjun, right? The nephew-in-law of Duke Zheng."

Duke Zheng ostensibly handed over his military power and returned to Kyoto.

In fact, the Xichuan Army was still firmly in the hands of his trusted men.

He Wenjun is his most capable right-hand man.

And now He Wenjun was fine, but suddenly his tax was increased by 10%. He was so impatient to save his money. What did he want to do?

Xie Zhuoning and Xiao Jinxuan looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had the same idea -

I'm afraid Prince Yong can't hold back any longer!
