Now, there are six people left.
They no longer dared to look down on Liu Yingying in the slightest.
"This is West Vulture Mountain. You, a woman, dare to attack us? You're courting death!"
After saying that, they swarmed forward.
Liu Yingying pulled out another large square knife from her spatial storage, which terrified the group.
"How did she manage to pull out such a big knife? Did you all see it?"
The others shook their heads, looking bewildered; "I...I didn't see clearly..."
"Never mind, let's go! Kill this woman first!"
Liu Yingying performed a side somersault, clearing over one man's head and decapitating him in the process. She then finished off another man with a single stroke...
This was nothing short of a one-sided massacre!
By the end, only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed.
Liu Yingying wiped the murder weapon clean on the corpse and then put it back into her spatial storage.
The items redeemed from the mall are made of materials different from those of this era, so it's best not to leave them out in the open.
The sight of the corpses lying haphazardly was horrifying.
Liu Yingying's expression was complicated.
Despite her ruthlessness, this was actually her first time killing someone.
She also owes a debt to her brother who studied medicine in her previous life. He studied human anatomy all day long, which allowed her to learn from him and become so familiar with it. This is how she was able to find the vital points of these people so accurately.
Otherwise, dealing with these people will probably take quite a bit of effort...
It's impossible to say that you feel no psychological burden when you kill someone for the first time.
But she is, after all, a politician, not the kind of delicate girl sheltered in a greenhouse.
In officialdom, there is deceit and treachery, and if you are not careful, you may die a violent death.
And this is even more true here today.
Liu Yingying is not a cruel person, but if her own life is not guaranteed, she will also kill without hesitation!
After dealing with all the messengers on the mountain in the same way, she leisurely returned to the Dragon Tiger Hall.
The entire cave was deathly silent.
Everyone was unconscious.
Everything went as she had predicted.
Liu Yingying held the knife in her hand and walked inside step by step.
However, they discovered that Meng Renhun had not completely lost consciousness like the others.
Although he had lost the ability to move due to the effects of the drug, he was now staring at Liu Yingying with bloodshot eyes like an angry beast.
"Tell me, why did you do this?"
“Meng Renhun, you not only deserve to die, but you are also incredibly stupid! How could you be so stupid as to ask me this question?” Liu Yingying walked towards him step by step with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Meng Renhun was startled, and his gaze towards her became even more furious. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "That's right, how could I forget? To you, I've always been nothing more than a heinous bandit!"
"Heh! Ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
"I actually dared to dream..."
The rest of the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Renhun's expression seemed to have finally resigned him to his fate. "Kill me now and avenge those villagers!"
"Ha!" Liu Yingying scoffed. "I'd like to, but that would dirty my hands. You beast who kills innocent people like this shouldn't die here."
Meng Renhun's expression changed slightly, and a glimmer of hope seemed to rise in his heart. However, Liu Yingying's next words made him realize the ruthlessness and cruelty of this woman.
Liu Yingying: "You should be dragged to the execution ground and beheaded as a warning to the public, so as to appease the hatred in the hearts of those innocent victims!"
Soon, the officers and soldiers arrived at the scene.
When Lord Shen entered the Dragon Tiger Hall, he saw that everyone had collapsed, except for Liu Yingying, who was slumped on the ground in terror.
A few steps in front of her lay Meng Renhun, who was temporarily unable to move due to poisoning.
Lord Shen looked Liu Yingying up and down, feeling as if he had seen this woman somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place her.
Just then, Zhang Hui suddenly came in, called out, and quickly ran to her side.
"Sister Liu, are you alright?"
Liu Yingying shook her head, "It's nothing!"
But Zhang Hui still didn't believe it, so she took her hand again and checked it herself before she was relieved.
One hour ago.
As planned, she took Zhaodi down the mountain to find the soldiers, and they eventually met the newly arrived magistrate without any problems.
After he explained the situation on the mountain in detail, Lord Shen initially did not believe him.
He couldn't conquer Xijiu Mountain with so many soldiers, how could a woman possibly do it!
Could this be a trap set by Huang Sanba and Meng Renhun to lure the enemy into a trap?
Zhang Hui was also a woman of strong character. Seeing Lord Shen hesitate, she seized the opportunity when no one was paying attention, drew a sword from a nearby guard, held it to her own neck, and swore an oath to the heavens.
“If you do not believe me, I can prove it with my death right now!”
In the end, Lord Shen decided to send someone to investigate first.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the gates of West Eagle Mountain were wide open that night, and all the guards on all four sides had been fatally struck by a sharp weapon.
Thus, in utter shock, he led his men into the bandits' lair with remarkable ease.
Zhang Hui's previous statement was that she and Liu Yingying were both innocent people whose families were destroyed by bandits, and now, in order to avoid being humiliated, Liu Yingying was willing to sacrifice herself to take this risk.
All this was to give those who had been captured a chance to survive.
At this moment, Lord Shen looked at Liu Yingying and asked Zhang Hui, "Madam Zhang, is this the Liu you mentioned?"
"That's right, it was she who risked her life to save everyone and even helped you, Lord Shen!"
Zhang Hui made no attempt to hide her true feelings.
The banditry in Xijiu Mountain had always been a headache for the imperial court. Now, Shen Shangxu had just taken office and wiped it out in one fell swoop, which would be an outstanding achievement for him!
Liu Yingying also felt that Shen Shangxu looked very familiar when she saw him.
Soon, the two recognized each other.
"It's you?"
"It was you?"
We parted ways in the valley that day, and I never imagined we'd meet again so soon.
Zhang Hui and Meng Renhun were both completely bewildered. Did these two know each other?
Liu Yingying immediately remembered that the man in front of her still owed her a debt of gratitude for saving her life...
At this moment, Shen Shangxu had many questions in his mind and wanted to ask Liu Yingying, but he had to take these bandits back first.
"Guards, tie these people up and take them back to the yamen!"
"And you two ladies, please come back to the county office with me first. After I have asked you some questions, I will send someone to take you home."
Can they refuse?
Obviously not!
After the soldiers arrived, Meng Renhun did not utter another word.
He closed his eyes, completely calm, as if accepting his fate of awaiting final judgment.
And so, Liu Yingying and her son Zhang Hui were arranged to spend the night at the county government office.
Zhang Hui told her that Zhao Di was originally going to find Lord Shen with her, but Lord Shen saw that she was too young and it was not appropriate to take her along, so he had his subordinates send her back to Taoyuan Village first.
Furthermore, Lord Shen has ordered that all the hostages held on the mountain be safely returned to their families...
