Wu Juan shook her head!
"No one recognized them; these refugees are all too busy taking care of themselves right now! So nobody's paying attention!"
"And the clothes that Madam and the others were wearing were the same ones that were tattered before! They blended in perfectly!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ru sat up and looked at Wu Juan standing on the ground.
The clothes she was wearing were the same beggar's clothes she wore when they first met!
This place is dilapidated and full of patches!
The clothes he was wearing were what he wore while fleeing!
No wonder those maids and guards looked down on them so much!
This is indeed rather shabby!
Although we received a lot of fabric before, there were just too many Wu people, and the women of Wu were very different from the traditional women here!
They only know how to wield swords and knives, not needlework or embroidery!
In addition, they had so many things to do along the way, so the matter of getting the clothes done was delayed!
She couldn't help but feel that these people were living a really tough life following her!
And now she is about to take the first step in the power struggle!
Things will probably be even more peaceful in the future, but she certainly won't let these people continue to suffer with her!
She waved to Wu Juan!
"Go outside! I want to be alone for a while!"
"Oh, right! Tell the brothers to get some rest and recharge!"
"Tomorrow might be a bloody battle!"
Wu Juan felt a little uneasy under the gaze of her clan leader, but now, as if she had been granted a pardon, she quickly took her leave and went downstairs!
When she went outside, she realized she had forgotten to report to Xiaoyue!
She arrived at the refugee camp and found that Xiaoyue was nowhere to be found!
I don't know where they went!
Forget it, she'll wait until the clan leader is in a better mood tomorrow before telling her!
Lin Ru, who was inside the room, lay down again. She wasn't actually in a bad mood, but she was a little nervous about what was going to happen next!
She was really afraid of something unexpected happening, after all, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing!
She wanted to check the things in her hands one last time, and then she went into the space!
When she went inside, she was stunned by what she saw.
It's like Xiaoyue has eaten yeast, growing from a tiny thing into this big lump!
This change is just too big!
Moreover, it used that one piece of spirit stone to remove all the fur on its body!
The hair now looks very stiff, and it even has a faint fluorescent glow!
And it seems to be constantly evolving!
Lin Ru thought for a moment, then took out another spirit stone from the box and placed it near its mouth!
As if sensing something, Xiaoyue first closed her eyes and sniffed with her nose, then opened her mouth and put it in her mouth!
Suddenly, it shone brightly all around!
Its snow-white fur was so dazzling that it hurt Lin Ru's eyes!
Xiaoyue seemed to sense its master's discomfort. Its fur flickered for a moment, then pressed down and turned back into ordinary white fur!
Seeing that it had stabilized again, Lin Ru picked up a few spirit stones and set up a simple spirit-gathering array on the ground!
As soon as she sat down, wisps of spiritual energy began to circulate through her meridians!
She didn't want to make herself too unusual, but she knew that she needed to have enough self-protection skills to have the last laugh before she could do anything!
Just as she was constantly refining her meridians in the space!
Qi Duwei and the others outside quickly made contact!
The soldiers in the barracks never expected to see Commander Qi again in their lifetime, and they were all moved to tears!
They were very happy to go forward and greet them!
"Captain! Captain! You're back?"
"We told you you'd be alright!"
"You're finally back!"
"You have no idea what kind of life we've been living lately. At first, we were exploited by Pang Da, and then a group of people came from somewhere who insisted on replacing you as the captain!"
"Yes! These people are so rude!"
"They actually had people surround us and even threatened us!"
"Thank goodness you're back!"
When Commander Qi heard their words, he was furious, not because someone wanted to replace him, but because of what these people had done after he left!
Along the way, Ma Minghao and the others gave a very objective account of the changes that had occurred since he left!
This change chilled him to the bone!
Even when life and death are at stake, these people are still only thinking about their own interests!
After he left, everything fell apart, with everyone going their own way! All their ambitions were on full display! It was truly disgusting to watch!
This pretense is just a pretense; he just wants to drive the outsiders out so that no one can keep an eye on their status!
These people had no idea what Commander Qi was thinking, and they were still chattering and complaining!
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late!
Commander Qi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot!
He said coldly, "Are you all done talking? Then it's my turn to speak! Don't think I don't know what you've done!"
"I just don't want to argue with you right now!"
"If you don't want to be purged, then obey my orders and defend Shanping County to the death!"
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they were too scared to utter a sound!
Commandant Qi gave them a cold glance, then turned and went into the tent to discuss matters!
Once he stood inside, he looked around and noticed that many people seemed to be missing. He asked them one by one, and they were either sick or injured. Only Bian Du said that they were missing!
He was greatly puzzled by this!
"How could Bian Du have disappeared? What exactly happened?"
Everyone present had only a vague understanding of the matter and didn't know where to begin. Only Ma Minghao stepped forward from the crowd and shared what he knew.
Commander Qi never expected Bian Du to go to such lengths! He's usually so quiet!
Just as he was feeling extremely distressed, as if he were about to lose a loved one, someone outside suddenly came panting to report, "Commander! Outside—that traitor—Bian Du has returned!"
"The brothers are holding us back! You should go check on them!"
Upon hearing this, Commandant Qi immediately stood up and walked outside!
When they went outside, they saw a group of soldiers at the door punching and kicking Bian Du!
"You traitor! How dare you come back!"
"Now that you've escaped, don't come back! Don't think the Commandant will be on your side!"
"Yes! You disgusting traitor!"
"We'll beat you to death!"
I was prepared, but hearing them call me a traitor still made me feel a little uncomfortable!
He held himself tightly together, shielding his head with his arms! He could feel his wounds tearing open!
