Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Those who were surrounded by men in black could not break out no matter what.

The people in this village are highly skilled in martial arts, but they do not fight alone. They deploy their troops like veterans on the battlefield.

No matter how these people tried to break out, they were stabbed by the weapons in their hands. They retreated step by step and were gradually surrounded in the middle of the threshing floor. The encirclement became smaller and smaller.

More archers rushed out from behind, and after a round of shooting, only half of the original twenty-odd people were left.

After another round of shooting, only five or six were left, like trapped beasts.

Old man Li was no longer the skinny old man at this time. He had a fierce look in his eyes and said, "Don't shoot them all to death. Catch them alive."

Those people saw that there was no hope of escape. If they were captured alive, they would certainly be severely tortured, which they might not be able to endure.

If they leak the secret, their families back home will have no chance of survival.

These people looked at each other, stopped fighting back, and directly cut their necks with the knives in their hands.

All committed suicide!

"Village leader, they're all dead." Butcher Zhang rushed over, holding a large gold-threaded knife, and said angrily that he ran too slowly and failed to stop these people from committing suicide.

Those killed in the cornfields and those killed on the threshing floors lay in rows on the threshing floors.

Not far away was a burning stack of firewood, which turned the sky red and illuminated the surroundings.

Zhou Da pointed at a knocked-out man who was dragged over and said, "This one is still alive, but he was knocked unconscious. We'll take him back for interrogation later."

"Wait a minute, let me see first." Old man Li's face was solemn, his teeth were gnashing, and his eyes were fierce. "These people have no conscience. They actually want to burn the high-yield corn. If they don't let me farm, I will use these people to farm."

Zhou Da agreed and put the man down.

The two groups of people were placed on both sides. Under the light of the fire, Old Man Li saw the faces of these people clearly and his expression changed slightly, "This is not the same group of people!"

Everyone was shocked. How could these high-yield corns become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of so many people?

Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin were just about to go to bed when they heard the sound of fighting on the farm outside. A short while later, they saw flames rising from the threshing ground through the window.

"Husband, wait for me, I'll be back soon." Gu Xiling stood up and wanted to go out to find out what was going on.

When Zhou Jin heard this, he looked at his legs and quickly grabbed Gu Xiling's hand, "Madam, you can't go. It's dangerous."

"This is on the farm of Marquis Changning. With so many loyal farmers here, how could I be in danger?" Gu Xiling chuckled and didn't take it seriously.

Zhou Jin pulled Gu Xiling into his arms and hugged her tightly. "The corn is important, but my wife is more important. I don't want you to have any accidents, not at all."

Gu Xiling smiled brightly when she heard this, and looked at Zhou Jin with her lively eyes, "Is it really that important?"

"If I break my oath, please punish me together with the gods of heaven and earth!" Zhou Jin kissed Gu Xiling's forehead lightly and held her tightly.

Growing old together is the highest wish of lovers.

"Okay, I promise I won't go out, but can you let me go? I'll sit on your lap and press you down." Gu Xiling chuckled and gently pushed Zhou Jin away.

"You won't lie to me?" Zhou Jin tested.

"I'm not lying to you. If you lie to me, I'll bark woof woof." Gu Xiling said playfully with bright eyes and white teeth, "Quickly let go. I won't go out. I'll just stand by the window and watch. Is that okay?"

At this time, Gu Xiling listened to Zhou Jin's words and could not let Zhou Jin down.

Zhou Jin let go of Gu Xiling, stood by the window with Gu Xiling, and listened attentively.

The guards who were protecting Zhou Jin on Zhuangzi were on high alert to prevent anyone from assassinating Zhou Jin.

Even Gu Xiling put her hands on her waist at this time.

Whenever there was an accident, she would immediately draw the soft sword from her waist and kill the assassin with her own hands.

By the time the guards came to report that all the assassins had been captured, there were no assassins left in the yard.

Gu Xiling judged, "Prince, those people are indeed coming for the corn, not for us."

Zhou Jin was stunned, holding Gu Xiling's hand, his tone was compassionate and melancholy, his narrow and beautiful eyes were full of disappointment and accusations against human nature.

"I...I really didn't expect that some people would be so intolerant of high-yield crops that could keep more people alive. Why are some people so vicious? What are ordinary people in the eyes of these people?"

Gu Xiling could feel the touch from deep within Zhou Jin's soul. Zhou Jin had lived a wealthy life since childhood and had been exposed to almost everything bright and beautiful.

Although he knew some of the filth and dirtiness, he had never seen it with his own eyes, nor had he experienced it personally.

"My husband, there are indeed narrow-minded and vicious people, but there are more chivalrous people, people who have justice in their hearts and speak up for the people. When they see evil, they will not become evil, but can eliminate it. My prince, let us encourage each other."

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. At that moment, he felt darkness all around him, but Gu Xiling's words made him see a little light in the darkness, telling him not to lose heart and to keep moving forward.

At this moment, Zhou Jin's eyes became clearer, "Yes, I must have the ability to eliminate evil in order to realize my ideals and ambitions."

After making sure there was no danger outside, Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin came to the threshing ground.

I just happened to hear Old Man Li’s judgment that they were not a group of people.

"Mr. Li, how do you know these are two groups of people?" Gu Xiling asked, with a more inquiring look in her eyes, walking towards the dead bodies lying on the ground.

Old Man Li pointed at the people who were about to burn the cornfield and answered, "Their body shapes and appearances, even their weapons and martial arts styles, are all characteristics of people from the Central Plains."

"Look over here. The people who came to the threshing ground to burn corn are obviously thinner and have darker skin. I just took off their shoes. Their feet are smelly and rotten. Almost all of them are like this. They look like they are from the southern barbarians."

Gu Xiling was startled, and after careful observation, she found that it was indeed very similar to what Li Laozhang said, "Li Laozhang, how do you know the characteristics of the Southern Barbarians?"

Old man Li chuckled and spoke in a heroic tone. His thin body and strong aura made him seem like the old soldier who had fought on the battlefield again.

"Back then, the Southern Barbarians invaded our borders. I was still young at that time, and I followed the old marquis to drive them out. Not only did we drive them out of Kangguo, we also occupied nine of their cities."

"The old marquis said at the time that since these southern barbarians don't let the people of Kangguo farm properly, let them farm the land, and they will be obedient."

Gu Xiling smiled brightly when she heard this, "Grandfather, you have a very insightful opinion. These people actually came here to destroy our high-yield corn, which is also a hindrance to farming. We should plant them in the fields."

Zhou Jin didn't say anything. He leaned on his cane and observed carefully, "Is there anyone alive?"

Zhou Da quickly replied, "There was one man who burned the cornfield. I knocked him unconscious. I will wake him up and interrogate him strictly."

Just as Zhou Jin was about to agree, he saw the disheveled Eunuch Xu running over in a hurry, "Prince, I want to interrogate him too! I want to see who wants to burn these high-yield corns?"

After working in the fields for so long and almost failing, Eunuch Xu was furious.

All the eighteen kinds of perverted tortures he learned in Jinlinwei finally came in handy!
