Lu Jing dragged Wen Lanxiang further into the shadows of the eaves and gestured towards the street corner with his chin: "You'll have to deal with those four bandits yourself?"

"No," Wen Lanxiang shook her head, "I want to take command and lead the sisters to kill them."

Ji Tangtang, standing nearby, chuckled: "What, you want to usurp the throne and replace Lord Lu?"

"No," Wen Lanxiang shook her head again, "I just wanted to... never mind, I really wanted to usurp the throne and take over command from you in the future."

The women around him covered their mouths and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?" before turning to look at Lu Jing.

"Ambitious."

Lu Jing nodded, then looked around carefully before finally nodding: "Okay, you'll lead the team this time."

what?

The women nearby gasped in surprise, covering their mouths once again.

Lu Jing said, "We have a democratic military system. If you have good ideas and want to take command, you are welcome to do so."

"Very good, Wen Lanxiang is very good."

Patting her on the shoulder, Lu Jing said, "Being ambitious and learning through combat is the best way. It can help you grow quickly and also make things easier for me."

"Yes." The women nodded.

"Thank you, sir."

Wen Lanxiang quickly crossed her hands in a salute to Lu Jing, a smile flashing across her usually cold face.

With her smile fading, Wen Lanxiang called Ji Tangtang and Ye Qingqing to follow her.

He also asked Lu Jing to secretly help him with arrows.

Sneaking stealthily along the shadows of the eaves, when they were almost upon the four bandits, Wen Lanxiang told everyone to crawl on the ground. There were some headless corpses around, and they mingled among them, carefully crawling forward.

When the four bandits looked up to observe, they stopped pretending to be dead; when they lowered their heads, Wen Lanxiang and the others continued to crawl forward.

When she was only four steps away from the bandits, Wen Lanxiang raised her sword and waved it, sending a signal to Lu Jing.

whoosh-

An arrow flew over like a shooting star.

It struck a bandit soldier squarely between the eyebrows.

"what……"

Just as the other three bandits were about to grab their weapons, Wen Lanxiang rushed over with her knife and struck one of the bandits on the neck, silencing him.

Ye Qingqing was also rushing over alongside her.

Her fighting style is different from Wen Lanxiang's.

He wasn't wielding a broadsword, but rather an Eight Treasures Gold Hammer that he'd picked up from the road and that had been thrown away by the Great Wilderness garrison.

Bang!

A hammer blow to the chest.

Ye Qingqing's enormous size immediately caused the bandits to vomit blood on the spot.

Bang!

He then smashed his head with his right shield.

puff……

The bandit soldier coughed up another mouthful of blood, followed by his brains, and collapsed with a thud.

hiss--

In the distance, Lu Jing and the female prisoners, who were secretly observing, gasped in shock; it looked painful.

The last one to rush forward was Ji Tangtang. Perhaps due to nervousness, she swung her sword down, aiming for the shoulder of the last bandit soldier, but missed.

"Ah..." The bandit gritted his teeth in pain.

Ji Tangtang tried his best to pull the blade out, but it got stuck on the bandit's shoulder blade. The more anxious he became, the tighter it got stuck, and he couldn't pull it out.

Seeing that the bandits were about to get their weapons and fight back, Wen Lanxiang immediately rushed forward.

Pfft!

He stabbed the soldier in the back, piercing him through.

The immense pain rendered the bandits speechless.

呲la.

Ji Tangtang finally drew his knife and slashed at the bandit's neck.

Finally, the opponent was completely killed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Ji Tangtang plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and Wen Lanxiang reached out to help her up.

"Lord Lu taught me before that if you encounter a situation where the blade is stuck, you should immediately kick the other person's body to use the force to pull it out."

Scratching his head sheepishly, Ji Tangtang said awkwardly, "My mind was completely blank just now, I can't remember."

"Just don't forget next time."

After saying that, Wen Lanxiang waved to the distance.

"Walk."

Lu Jing brought the other female prisoners over, and together they hid the bodies of the bandits.

"Lord Lu!" Ji Tangtang exclaimed impatiently, "Didn't we do a good job?"

"good."

Lu Jing nodded: "If you could have been a little more decisive at the end, it would have been even better."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tangtang pouted and said, "It's my first time doing this, so it's inevitable that I'll be a bit clumsy. I won't be like that next time."

"Next time?" Lu Jing sneered. "One mistake, and there won't be a next time. You better watch yourself."

"Oh." Ji Tangtang pouted even more.

Lu Jing then turned to Wen Lanxiang: "Not bad, Wen Lanxiang, you commanded well and were able to adapt to changing circumstances. You deserve credit."

"Thank you, Lord Lu."

Seeing Wen Lanxiang being praised by Lu Jing, Qin Liniang's eyes were filled with envy, and she clenched her fist to cheer herself up.

Having dealt with the bandits blocking their way, the group continued on their journey.

Ten minutes later, they turned out of the alley and saw the archway of East Street in the moonlight.

"arrive."

Lu Jing carefully observed the terrain and then arranged for several people to set up sentries.

After ensuring there were no safety issues in the surrounding area, Lu Jing led the female prisoners quickly into the pharmacy along the street.

"Ji'an Hall".

Lu Jing pointed to the side: "This is the biggest one."

"Yes."

The women responded and were about to go inside when Qin Liniang stopped them, saying, "Don't rush. Didn't Lord Lu teach us to observe carefully before entering? What if there are traps?"

After speaking, Qin Liniang turned to look at Lu Jing, lowered her head slightly, and looked obedient.

Lu Jing knew she was waiting for praise.

"That's right, very accurate."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Qin Liniang smiled radiantly.

Afterwards, Mu Jiangli and Wen Lanxiang carefully checked the doorway, confirmed that there were no traps, and nodded to everyone.

The crowd filed in.

The last two men stood guard in the shadows by the door.

Upon entering Ji'an Hall, everyone was astonished.

The place was a mess; the medicine cabinet was overturned, and the drawers were pulled out and smashed one by one.

All the bottles and jars were smashed.

Watch your step.

Lu Jing warned the female prisoners searching, "There are fragments everywhere, be careful not to cut your feet."

"Damn rebels!"

Mu Jiangli kicked the overturned medicine cabinet: "Nothing's left! They stole everything!"

The other female prisoners also gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.

"Let's go, next one."

Lu Jing remained calm and composed, giving orders. Time was their greatest enemy, and they couldn't afford to waste a single second.

The second one.

The third one.

The fourth one.

This was the case everywhere; all the medicinal herbs and medicines had been looted by the bandits.

"Fuck you!"

It was extremely rare for Ye Qingqing to swear; she was usually rude, but rarely cursed.

"Damn it, they even stole my menstrual irregularity medication!" Ye Qingqing cursed angrily. "I'm like a soldier killing bandits now, I'll kill them all, leave no one alive!"

Lu Jing patted her on the shoulder: "Calm down, don't panic, this situation is within expectations."

Ye Qingqing sighed and nodded.

"When an army goes to war, in addition to food and supplies, medicine is also a rare commodity, so of course they'll rob it if they can."

The women nodded helplessly, each one looking like a defeated fighting rooster.

"It's not like we gained nothing."

Lu Jing glanced at the medicine cabinet next to him, smiled, and then pulled open a drawer.

"These are also necessities."

necessity?

Upon hearing this, the women immediately gathered around and peered over to see what it was.
