Everyone had been starving for days, and whether they wanted to go out or not, they all needed to fill their stomachs tonight.
As soon as Jiang Jiuniang left, those people rushed forward and began to wolf down their food.
Before it even got dark, most of the bandits had already gone to sleep, leaving only a few to keep watch.
After staying up for several nights in a row, and then having a competition to choose a leader at noon, it would be strange if I still had any strength left.
Jiang Jiuniang was given a rare privilege of being placed in an empty room. When she saw that it was about time, she got up and went out. She first sprinkled some sleeping potion on the night watchmen, and then went to open the door for a group of women.
It was so late, and no one expected that Jiang Jiuniang would actually come.
When they saw Jiang Jiuniang, everyone was both surprised and delighted. They stared at her with wide eyes, their hearts pounding.
"Young lady, is it safe outside?"
Qinglian's sister-in-law asked impatiently, worried that her escape attempt would fail and that Jiang Jiuniang would be implicated.
"It's safe for now. The bandits are all fast asleep. We can just sneak out. There are people waiting for us outside."
Jiang Jiuniang could see the woman's worry and panic, so she took her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll definitely get out safely tonight."
"Okay, it's good that we can get out!"
The woman's eyes were filled with tears as she let Jiang Jiuniang lead her away.
The others naturally wanted to leave as well. Seeing that they had already taken the lead and hadn't heard any noise outside, they disregarded everything else and followed suit.
The village was quiet, with the occasional sound of bandits snoring.
As they approached the unconscious guards, one of the women was so frightened that she tried to scream, but before she could utter a sound, the woman next to her quickly covered her mouth.
Jiang Jiuniang turned around and gave the man a cold look, saying, "If you want to wake everyone up, you can call out all you want."
The woman was too frightened to speak. Jiang Jiuniang's eyes were terrifying; she was even worried that Jiang Jiuniang would kill her.
Jiang Jiuniang's sharp eyes were quite effective; after that, no one caused any more trouble, and they left the village smoothly.
At this time, Lu Baichuan had already contacted Qin Jian and asked him to bring people to pick up these women.
"You take your men and retreat first, and leave the rest to us."
Qin Jian knew his younger brother and sister-in-law were about to play something big, so he couldn't wait to send everyone away.
Knowing they were about to deal with the bandits, the group didn't hesitate any longer and quickly headed down the mountain.
After confirming that they had gone far away, Jiang Jiuniang took out a bag of small black balls about the size of a fist from the bundle she had brought.
What is this?
Jiang Jiuniang smiled lewdly: "It made a sound when it hit the ground."
Qin Jian: "?"
Jiang Jiuniang explained, "It means that if you throw the ball on the ground, it will make a sound and produce a certain amount of power over a wide area."
This is a new gadget she modified herself; it's small and portable, so Lu Baichuan can take it with him when he goes to the border.
Each person received two, and Jiang Jiuniang said, "Watch me."
As she spoke, she swung the ball forcefully, using the momentum to throw it out, aiming for a thatched hut in the bandit's den.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion rang out in the darkness, shattering the thatched hut and, needless to say, killing the people inside.
Qin Jian and Lu Baichuan were both shocked by the sight. They looked at the small black ball in their hands in disbelief, never expecting it to be so powerful.
The bandits had already woken up and were shouting and yelling not far away, creating complete chaos.
Jiang Jiuniang looked at them with great pride and asked, "How about it? Pretty cool, right?"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Qin Jian excitedly threw one of the small black balls in his hand as well. Amidst the shattered thatched huts and the bandits' tragic screams, he really wanted to ask how many more surprises his sister-in-law had in store for him!
"Who launched the sneak attack? Ah!"
"Run!"
"And what about the girl?"
"Bullshit girl, she's a spy! She let all the women in that house escape!"
"I knew she was something else! That simpleton Dayong got completely fooled!"
...
The crowd dodged and cursed, gritting their teeth in anger.
At this moment, Dayong had suffered minor injuries and was hiding somewhere to wipe away his tears.
He never imagined that the beautiful Jiang Jiuniang was actually a spy, even though she had clearly said he was a good person.
For her sake, he incited everyone to start a martial arts competition, thinking that he must become the leader and marry her in a grand and glorious way. But what was the result?
She's a liar!
His love story ended before it even began!
"You big liar, waaaaah!"
Dayong kept crying; he had never been so badly deceived in his life.
"Alright! What's the use of crying! Hurry up and take some men to check on the situation of our brothers. Those people probably won't let this go, so be careful and don't get smashed!"
Someone kicked him. Although he was angry that Dayong was stupid and had been deceived, weren't they the same? When you take it seriously, you can't blame Dayong entirely.
"oh."
Da Yong responded, sniffed, and although he was still very sad, he didn't say anything and led his men to check on the situation in the village.
The more he looked, the more disheartened he became. These brothers were alive and well before, even clamoring to defeat him and become the leader, but now their bodies were incomplete.
Just as he was feeling down, he suddenly saw a figure not far away. The figure looked very familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Jiang Jiuniang, who was standing in the woods not far away, waving to him.
"Brother Dayong, you have no way out, just surrender!"
Jiang Jiuniang's idea was different from Lu Baichuan's. These people had been secretly trained. If they were sent to the battlefield, they would definitely be able to fight. It would be much more valuable than them dying here now.
Therefore, instead of letting Lu Baichuan kill them all, she asked them if they were willing to surrender.
Lu Baichuan was so jealous. Even at this point, he was still calling out "Brother Dayong" all the time. Why didn't he call him once?
Also, how come this guy named Dayong is so tough? He's still alive even after all this. Are you trying to annoy him?
Da Yong never expected Jiang Jiu Niang to be so bold. Not only did she do something bad, but she also provoked him here.
Even so, he only felt very uncomfortable, and didn't even blame her.
He was startled by his own thought and, trying to suppress it, asked, "Why would you do this?"
They have suffered heavy casualties, so we can't do anything to them for the time being. All we can do is send messages from afar.
"Because I am upholding justice!"
“Brother Dayong, think about it carefully. You’ve been forced to train all these years, and now you’ve learned so many skills, but you’re going to stay in these mountains and become bandits who can’t be seen by anyone. Are all your efforts over the years just going to be for nothing?”
"With your abilities, you could definitely become a general. Don't you want to bring honor to your ancestors?"
...
Although they knew these bandits had blood on their hands and were unlikely to have much of a chance for promotion, who cared? They just needed to keep them in line.
