"The concubines in the mansion, just to please him, would immediately teach that family a lesson, either breaking an arm or a leg, or even killing them!"
"I never expected to run into you today!"
"Brother Zhang, we absolutely have to pull off a heist!"
Zhang Tiedan's eyes lit up as he listened!
"Absolutely!"
"The most important thing for us in this mountain stronghold is to rob the rich and help the poor. We will not let a single bad person go, and we will certainly not let a rich bad person go!"
"Come on, let's go inside and find our eldest brother!"
After saying that, the group of people marched in a grand procession to the council hall inside!
Meanwhile, Hei Meng was still feeling sad and upset about Lao Liu's situation!
Seeing a group of people coming to find him, he thought something had happened again, and his heart skipped a beat!
"What's wrong? Has something happened outside again?"
Zhang Tiedan burst into laughter!
"Boss! Is there no trouble? This trouble is actually a good thing. There's a fat sheep waiting for us to slaughter!"
Hei Meng stood up excitedly!
Are you telling the truth?
"These days, where are you going to find easy prey?"
"Could they be refugees?!"
Zhang Tiedan quickly waved his hand, pulled the messenger closer, and made him repeat what he had just said!
After hearing this, Hei Meng clapped his hands repeatedly in approval!
"Great! Even God is on our side!"
"People like them are lucky to be alive, yet they still want to take the people's hard-earned money and enjoy it elsewhere!"
"That's so shameless!"
"Today I will rid the people of this scourge!"
The people inside the mountain stronghold immediately erupted in excitement!
They haven't made a move in a long time. The world has been in turmoil lately, and most of the people passing by are refugees!
They are a very principled group; they would never rob those suffering people, nor would they rob wealthy businessmen who do good deeds! They would only rob these rich people who commit all sorts of evil!
And seeing the suffering people, they would secretly distribute the money they had stolen!
This is why their mountain village is actually not wealthy!
Seeing everyone so excited, Ji Wenxuan and Hongniang exchanged a glance and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes!
Last time we went to rescue those able-bodied men, most of them were injured to some extent!
Those who were guarding the house were also injured while rescuing people a month ago!
Although the able-bodied men said they would follow them, they were not only starved to the bone, but also had many injuries. After two days of rest, they had not recovered at all!
Even if these strong men recover, they will only have strength but no martial arts skills!
Against the group of clearly trained guards above and below, they could only take a beating!
At present, they can send out no more than 100 people at most!
There are more than 100 people below us. We are outnumbered and outgunned. Even if we succeed in the end, many of our brothers will die!
"Boss, you haven't recovered yet!"
"Zhang Tiedan's arm is also injured!"
"We have less than 100 people we can send out right now!"
"This situation is very unfavorable for us!"
"Therefore, we still need to plan this carefully!"
Zhang Tiedan waved his arm defiantly!
"My arm is all healed!"
"Look, I can even swing now..."
He had just raised his injured arm when he bumped into the incision and cried out in pain!
"Ouch! Those damned soldiers!"
"They actually ambushed me!"
Hei Meng: "We have so many people in our mountain stronghold! Send them all down! It's just a few injuries! Bear with it, we'll call it a day after this job and rest properly in the mountains!"
"And aren't there still some able-bodied men who were just rescued?"
"Then they're our brothers now!"
Even the matchmaker disagreed!
"Boss! Although some of those brothers suffered minor injuries and others were seriously injured, if we send out all the lightly injured ones, there will naturally be more than 100 people!"
"These are turbulent times!"
"We shouldn't make any big moves!"
"And the mountain strongholds in the neighboring mountains are also eyeing us covetously!"
"It's impossible to send all the brothers out; some must stay behind to guard the home and take care of these wounded brothers!"
"We can't just run down and fight them head-on. We need to use our brains and come up with some strategies!"
Hei Meng felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard the word "plan".
He was willing to confront these people head-on. Before Ji Wenxuan and Hongniang arrived, there were more than 400 people in this mountain stronghold, probably eight or nine hundred!
These people don't use their brains much, and they always confront things head-on, so there aren't many elders left now. They all died while they were robbing people on the way down the mountain!
That's why he always goes easy on Lao Liu!
He witnessed their growth step by step from more than 800 people to more than 400 people, from not having enough to eat to now having surplus food!
He still has some feelings for Lao Liu!
I never expected Old Liu to be like this...
He shook his head, trying hard not to think about the incredulous expression on Old Liu's face when he was beheaded!
"Alright, whatever you say goes!"
"I don't really understand strategy!"
Ji Wenxuan and the head of the matchmaking agency relented and began to discuss it!
They discussed it back and forth, but couldn't come up with a result that satisfied everyone!
They desperately wanted to minimize the losses!
Because if there is a mistake, the one who loses is the brother who has shared life and death with them!
At this moment, Lin Ru handed Xiaoyue, which she was holding, to Bai Shi, and then stepped forward herself!
"Brother Ji! Why don't you take us with you later?"
"I still have some poison on me; we can use the same method as last time!"
"Prepare more bows and arrows this time. Our Shili Village has a few people who are famous for their excellent archery skills!"
Ji Wenxuan was surprised that she still had poison in her possession, thinking that they had used up all of it last time!
"That's wonderful!"
"This way, the damage will be minimized!"
Hei Meng had also witnessed the potency of the poison in Lin Ru's hands!
He had originally intended to offer to pay for it, but considering how precious this poison was these days, he hesitated about how much he should offer! After what happened with Lao Liu, he was too embarrassed to even ask!
Now, seeing this young girl disregard past grievances and go to great lengths, spending money and effort to help them!
They decided that no matter what, they would share half of what they had seized with them!
As a reward!
While Bai Chengen and his two sons were researching the antidote, Wu Ling led his men to cut down trees and make wooden barrels!
Lin Ru took Wu Juan and Wu Fei down there again!
Although the mountain road was still as rugged and uneven as ever, going downhill was obviously faster than going uphill!
Soon, led by the messenger, everyone arrived at the place where Yuan Fangqin and the others were stationed!
Lin Ru looked at the people below, and compared to when they first left the city, they were all covered in dust and dirt!
