Chapter 118: Qiyun Village Upholds Justice

hamed.The result is still nothing.If I let them go, then so be it.In this unheard-of ancient time, struggle to survive.The only comfort they could find was probably in their age.He seemed to have shru...Probably the king of this mountain, having been in power for too long, has lost his sense of caution.

The Big Chief only realized something was amiss when he brought his men into the village.

The busy man planned to evacuate through a concealed path.

Unfortunately, the people they ran into were very well-prepared.

The villagers guarding the mountain here weren't foolishly waiting around. They thoroughly searched the perimeter of their village.

While they had time, they also dug several traps.

Several bandits fell into it, the rest were almost like pieces of meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

The Big Boss boasted of his skills, but ended up defeated by this ragtag group, humiliated on the spot.

This time, they not only found a bag of silver but also other gains.

Old Yan patted the roughly-made, but sturdy wooden cart. He then stepped closer to examine the few mules pulling it.

Speaking frankly: "This gang of bandits has good taste. They picked out some fine mules."

Mules have six heads, and hinnies have eight. The reason they are both even numbers is probably because the wooden carts used to transport them are bigger. If there are also children inside, it's easier for two mules or hinnies to pull.

Everyone keeps their eyes on the prize.

Look at these adorable little things.

Probably because the gaze was too intense, the mule turned its head to the other side.

Hey, don't be shy!

Yan Huaiwen felt a weight on his heart. Thinking about how they had saved the disaster victims and looking at these wooden cages meant for children, he could roughly estimate the number of disaster victims taken away by this band of bandits.

"Let's go back!" Yan Huaiwen said in a deep voice.

Along the way, Yan Huaiwen was very silent.

Everybody noticed this unusual state of affairs.

Footsteps unconsciously became lighter.

Yán Laò'èr recalled what Old Yán had said about his aspirations.

Some understand why he is like this.

"Big brother, are we still paying out silver" Only Yan Laoliu could ask so bluntly and straightforwardly.

Yan Huaiwen hummed in response.

Yan Lao Er chuckled, ignoring his brother's cold face and continued talking to himself: "Actually, killing bandits is quite good. Not only can you help the people by eliminating harm, but there are also unexpected gains."

These few cars, with a little modification, can be put to good use. We can catch up on the lost days in no time.

He asked Qi Wu: "Wouldn't it be easier to change to a cart pulled by a single mule"

Qi Wu looked at it for a long time and immediately replied: "It will be almost done in half a day."

They have a lot of people and experience modifying cars, so it's not difficult.

"Shall we go tomorrow, big brother If you're in a hurry, I can start working on it today and head back."

It can be done at night, and it won't delay the journey tomorrow. Perfect.

"Tian You, there's something I want to hear your thoughts on." Yan Huaiwen said softly.

Old Yan: I'm here! Old Yan struggled with himself for a long time, but he probably already had a guess.

"What's up"

"As for the bandits..." Yan Huaiwen paused, as if making a decision. His voice gained a bit of weight: "If we are powerless to resist, my brother will definitely choose to leave quickly and not take risks. But if we have the strength, if we can help people escape this hardship and live…"

Go No go

If Mr. Yan wants to pretend now, he should say: Actually, you already have the answer in your heart. Follow your inner voice, and you can realize the great way.

But he also has his own persona to maintain, so with shining eyes, he excitedly asked: "Big brother, are we going to continue killing bandits That's great! This is a shortcut to getting rich!"

No, no, the refugees are too pitiful, Big Brother. Why don't we save them if we can!

"As for these people we've saved, they insist on following us. Well, this is a bit of a hassle, but there are precedents to follow. We can just do things the way it's always been done. If other bandit lairs also have pack animals available, then our journey behind them will be much more comfortable!"

Yann Huaiwen: …

Accepting this so easily

This is not something that we commoners should do.

> "I'm not sure," Lao Er said, stroking his chin. "It just feels like things have been going pretty smoothly for us these times. Except for those refugees getting hurt rushing forward – they're the ones who deserve it. Here on our side, the worst that happened was someone twisted their ankle."

Laoshongshan wanted to weave something to block arrows, but before they could finish, we attacked. This proves that it was right for us to strike first. The same goes for Chuanyunzhai. They were prepared but ultimately lacked the will.

We still have some days to spend in these mountains, and no one can guarantee that bandits from other peaks won't attack us. If that happens, it might be better to keep going and raid all the bandit dens along the way.

"Suppressing bandits isn't something we should be doing, right Also, Big Brother, since we've taken over the government's jobs, is there anything else we need to do"

“Nothing to report, just don't publicize it.”

Old Man Yan nodded and said, "We definitely can't spread this around. We all split the silver, if the government asks for it, I don't want to pay."

Earned it from a bandit's lair, so why should you get it

"Haha!" He suddenly burst into laughter and said quickly, "Big brother, what do you think about us pretending to be bandits and going up the mountain"

Seeing his brother staring blankly at him, he couldn't help but worry.

"Qiyunzhai! Forgotten already Look at us, we have weapons, enough manpower, and even carts for pulling people are ready for us. Wow! It seems like heaven is helping us!"

"We just need to go up this mountain. If we ambush those bandits, it'll be no problem."

Yan Huaiwen followed his gaze.

The mule cart drew people in, and the men, with weapons strapped to their bodies, seemed a little more ferocious than before...

Then, Jan Laoer simply decided not to leave.

Gather all the people.

He knew some things he said were more appropriate than what Lao Yan would say.

Lao Yan's speech is a leader speaking, but his actions are like being in cahoots for profit.

Old Two climbed onto the carriage, standing at the edge so everyone could see him.

"Hey guys! Here's the situation, we took down the most fearsome gang in these mountains, the Sky Piercing Fort! Big haul! We got silver and mules. Just like last time, each family keeps what they earned."

As soon as he said this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

No problem, just two words -- happy!

Now, bandits and provisions are equated.

"Well, even though the silver distributed to each household looks plentiful, once we reach Guanzhou, it'll be spent everywhere. Wouldn't it be better if we had a little more"

There are still some bandits in the mountain, those from Cloud Piercing Fort aren't fearsome, and Old Pine Fort has a lot of people. Shouldn't we think about it and take care of them too

“Well, let's do it!” The villager was the bravest of them all, deeply hated the bandits and was the first to agree.

It has to be said that through several actions, everyone's courage was tempered.

"Go!"

This boss's voice, unexpectedly, came from Qi Da's mouth.

When everyone looked at him, Qi felt his face flush red.

Qi Si and Qi Wu also voiced their support.

They were closest to the brothers of the Yan family, and they spoke with conviction. Both Xiucai Gong and Yan Er wanted to kill the bandits, so let them go.

Lu Xiazi squeezed to the front and looked up at Yan Lao Er, saying: "There's a village just around here. It'll only take about two hours to walk there."

He pointed in a direction.

Old Two was even more delighted, it was great to be close. It wouldn't take long to go there and back, so he wouldn't be delayed from going home to cook.

"Alright! So it's settled then! We, the Qiyun Village folk, will act as Heaven's righteous hand, hehe! And we might as well make a little profit on the side."

----Aside----

one more ~

Qiyunzhai is going to get busy again~

Walk one way, smooth one way, what kind of mountain bandits, are those things that should exist!
