The female prisoner was fierce

The snowstorm finally stopped.

However, by the time Xiao Jianyang led his men back to the camp, it was already almost dark.

I subconsciously glanced back at the road I had come from.

No one came after them.

But he always felt that danger would catch up with him sooner or later.

This side of the camp.

At this moment, the more than eighty girls in prison uniforms who were resting on the spot dared not light a fire and just stayed there, not daring to go anywhere.

The girl named Su Wanruo was about 20 years old. She had a very gentle personality and was always comforting and taking care of everyone.

He distributed dry rations and the last remaining fresh water to the women.

The three few pieces of clothing were distributed to several sisters whose clothes had been torn apart by the soldiers.

At the same time, we tried our best to comfort them.

A woman named Chu Yiran, around 25 years old, went around searching for herbs to treat her injured sisters and try to alleviate their pain.

It was freezing cold, and even though she came from a family of imperial physicians, finding even a little bit of medicinal herbs was already difficult. She could only do her best with tears in her eyes.

The entire crowd resembled a white swan about to be swallowed by the cold and pain.

Curled up, she slowly closed her eyes.

It was like waiting for death, or like waiting for some kind of miracle to happen.

And just then...

On the mountain path in the distance, Xiao Jianyang, along with Lin Qingxue, Xiao Xing, Xiao Tao, and the four sisters dressed in military uniforms, hurried towards this side.

Everyone carried some supplies.

They had clothes, dry food, and fresh water, all taken from those dead people.

Upon seeing this, the more than eighty girls in prison uniforms were initially tense:

"Are more soldiers chasing after us?"

But then, upon seeing that it was Xiao Jianyang and the others, they breathed a huge sigh of relief, their faces beaming with excitement:

"Lord Xiao is back! Sisters, wake up! Lord Xiao is back!"

Upon seeing this, Su Wanruo and Chu Yiran both showed a hint of relief and excitement on their faces.

Before long, upon arrival, Xiao Jianyang looked at the well-organized camp and then at the herbs on the wounded soldiers, his expression somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, this team is full of talented people.

"Wanruo, well done."

He immediately praised her.

"Lord Xiao, not at all, this is simply what Wanru should do."

Su Wanru hurriedly shook her head, but her expression was very happy.

Xiao Jianyang shook his head:

"No need to be modest, you did a really good job, you have the potential to be a great logistics manager."

"By the way, what's the deal with these herbs?"

Su Wanruo lowered her head to her right, looking very self-conscious. Chu Su Yiran said:

"Lord Xiao, it's all thanks to Yi Ran."

"Her father was a royal physician, so she was exposed to medicine from a young age."

Xiao Jianyang's eyes lit up even more.

This is truly a remarkable talent; I can't help but ask:

"Chu Yiran, right? You did a great job, and it wasn't me who told you to do it; you did it on your own initiative. You deserve praise."

Chu Yiran lowered her head even further, her face flushing red, and muttered:

"Lord Xiao...you flatter me. I just couldn't bear to see my sisters suffer. It's a pity the snow was too heavy and I couldn't find many medicinal herbs. Otherwise, my sisters wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Xiao Jianyang, unusually, revealed a faint smile and shook his head:

"No need to say that. You did a good job. We'll owe you for now, and when we have the means, we'll give you some physical rewards."

After saying that, he stopped dwelling on the issue and walked directly to the open space in front of the group of women.

Behind.

Chu Yiran blushed even more.

It wasn't blushing, but simply feeling embarrassed by the compliments.

After all, she had learned her medical skills by stealing information, and there had never been any praise for her; all she received was criticism for a young girl learning medicine.

She timidly raised her head.

Looking at Xiao Jianyang, I suddenly realized that he wasn't so scary after all.

At this time.

Xiao Jianyang had already arranged the spoils of war, and before he could speak, the women in front of him began to discuss them.

"Look everyone, the official robes and swords that Qingxue and the others are wearing are truly impressive."

"Lord Xiao is truly awe-inspiring! He really stood up for the sisters! I thought Lord Xiao was just saying it casually."

"Shh~~ What are you saying? Would Lord Xiao lie to us?"

"But those four prison uniforms look so familiar..."

"This…"

The atmosphere is getting a little strange.

Xiao Jianyang naturally noticed and immediately said loudly:

"Don't be afraid, everyone. I have already led my men to execute those seven beasts who humiliated our compatriots. I once said, follow me and no one will dare to bully you in the future."

"As for those four women, they colluded with the bandits from the nearby Qinglong Village to try and kill us, so they can't be allowed to live."

After he finished speaking, Lin Qingxue and the other six people next to him nodded in agreement.

"What?! Mountain bandits?!"

The more than eighty girls in prison uniforms were shocked, and then a wave of fear washed over them:

"Fortunately, what would we have done if we had attracted bandits?"

"Good riddance! These ungrateful bastards! Lord Xiao treated us so well, even giving us travel expenses and provisions, and this is how they repay him? They deserve to die."

"Thanks to Lord Xiao, otherwise we would definitely not have survived."

The women were even more grateful at the scene.

Xiao Jianyang raised his hand and pressed it down, saying seriously:

"Now is not the time to talk. Hurry up and pack your things. If you don't have any clothes, use these for now."

"We must leave quickly and find a small village ahead to settle down, otherwise it will be troublesome if the bandits behind us catch up."

As soon as the words were spoken, the women nodded in agreement without hesitation:

"Lord Xiao is right, we must leave quickly, we can't stay here."

"Yes, let's go, let's go."

The action was very swift.

The two injured sisters helped one of them up, and everyone quickly ate some dry food and drank some water to replenish their strength.

Then the four sets of prison uniforms were distributed.

Finally, there was the remaining set of official robes.

Xiao Jianyang thought about it and originally planned to give it to Su Wanruo, but in the end he decided to give it to Chu Yiran instead.

The reason is simple: she is the only doctor in the entire team.

After doing all this, Xiao Jianyang led the team, with Lin Qingxue bringing up the rear, and marched at top speed, rushing forward along the mountain path.

The group quickly disappeared into the vast, white snow-covered night.

……

They marched for more than half an hour.

Finally, in the distant valley, a small village appeared, its appearance illuminated by the faint white light of the snow.

Xiao Jianyang immediately led his team there, and soon they arrived at the village entrance.

The entire village consists of thatched-roof houses, and there are not many of them, less than 30 households.

It was very quiet, like a cemetery.

But, looking down slightly, the snow was covered with messy footprints.

Xiao Jianyang frowned.

"Lord Xiao, why are the people in this village avoiding us?"

Beside her, Su Wanruo also lowered her head, looking at the messy, fresh footprints on the ground, her face full of confusion.

"It's simple, just grab someone and ask them directly."

Xiao Jianyang remained calm.

With eyes like surveillance cameras, they lock onto the freshest footprint in the snow and then follow it.

In no time, the footprints disappeared in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Excuse me, is anyone home inside?"

Su Wanruo, who was accompanying them, took the initiative to speak softly and politely.

"No one is home, sir. Please go elsewhere."

A terrifying and aged old man's voice came from inside.

Xiao Jianyang:

"..."

Speechless!

Su Wanruo, standing beside him, also had a strange expression and explained:

"Old folks, don't be afraid. We're just passing through and would like to stay in your village for the night. We can pay you."

Inside the thatched hut, after a few seconds of silence, the sound of an old man and an old woman arguing could be heard.

After a while, the arguing stopped.

crunch~~

The door slowly opened, revealing an old farmer with mostly white hair, wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat.

His eyes were filled with fear, yet also a hint of wariness.

"Sir, are you really only staying one night and then leaving?"

Xiao Jianyang nodded slightly:

"Um."

The old man in front of him hesitated for a moment, then sighed:

"Sigh... alright then."

"How many of you are there? I'll make arrangements."

Xiao Jianyang:

"Three."

The old man's pupils contracted sharply, and he was completely dumbfounded:

"What??"

"96??"

"Sir, we don't have that many rooms."

Su Wanruo spoke appropriately:

"Grandpa, we only need two or three rooms, we can squeeze in."

The old man in front of him thought for a moment, then sighed:

"Sigh... alright then, come with me."

After saying this, he first turned his head and said something into the room behind him:

"Old woman, I'll take the official to arrange his lodgings."

Then he turned around, went out, closed the door behind him, and walked into the village.

Xiao Jianyang and Su Wanru followed.

"Grandpas, why do you seem so afraid of us? What happened?"

On the way, Xiao Jianyang asked questions as he walked.

front.

The old man who had led the way sighed again, as if he couldn't speak without sighing, and replied:

"Sir, judging from your accents, you must have come from afar, so you are not familiar with the situation in our Qingshui Village."

"Our village is near Mangshan Mountain. There is a stronghold called Qinglong Village on this mountain. The chieftain, Xu Batian, colludes with the local government and often comes down the mountain to rob and plunder. The government never does anything about it."

"Sometimes, the officers and soldiers would even demand money or personnel under various pretexts. If they didn't give it to them, they would rob or beat them. Everyone was so miserable that they felt like they wanted to die. Sigh..."
