Some of the soldiers' heartbeats began to speed up. They were all prisoners who had been exiled along the way with the Shen family.

They are familiar with robbing the old nest!

They made the right decision to join the army this time!

Instead of staying in Hongliutun and working hard after the spring, it’s better to follow them and make a big fortune!

In the blink of an eye, forty horse bandits were killed or captured!

The first and second in command had their legs broken and were lying on the ground. They were dragged to Shen Lanxi by Wei's army like dead dogs!

Shen Lanxi sat in front of the fire, and her posture did not change.

"There are ten military households and twenty-nine civilians in Dayutun. There are three military households and eighteen civilians in Baihe County. A total of sixty lives!" Shen Lanxi's eyes reflected the firelight. Although there were two balls of fire, they could not melt the coldness in her pupils.

The boss and the second in command looked at Shen Lanxi in horror, and knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Please spare our lives, sir. I am willing to give you all the treasures I have robbed with all this money. I only ask you to spare our lives!"

Shen Lanxi: "I didn't kill you right away, I just wanted you to have a taste of what those people you killed felt like when they died!"

The boss and the second in command looked at Shen Lanxi as if they saw a ghost.

He wanted to torture them to death slowly, how could he be so cruel.

"No, you can't kill us. If you kill us, my brothers will definitely come to avenge us!"

"If you let us go, we will give you all the gold, silver and treasures. We will do whatever you want us to do. From now on, we will be your dogs!"

The boss and the second in command were both frightened and cried, and kept kowtowing to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi raised a cruel smile: "I'll give you one chance. If you can fight your way out of these men, I'll let you go!"

The first and second in command looked around, then immediately fell to the ground in fear and begged for mercy.

If they could beat these people, they wouldn't have their legs broken and beg for mercy like dogs!

Shen Lanxi didn't care what they thought and just opened her mouth to order the troops.

"Yuan Jing, Yuan Jun, Yuan Xu, Yuan Kun, I leave them to you. Don't let them die too easily!"

"Yes!"

Wei Dongzhu stepped forward to report: "Xiao Fang has already led people to chase after him."

Shen Lanxi glanced at Shen Yuanjing and the others and said, "Let's follow them!"

"Yes!"

Shen Yuanjing and his companions didn't want to be left here. Since the elder sister had given these two men to them to practice with, they just needed to kill them, right?

Shen Yuanjing acted with lightning speed and chopped off the boss's arm with one knife!

When the other three saw how decisive he was, they picked up their knives and started chopping without saying a word.

The second in command was so frightened that he rolled and crawled back.

He hadn't run a few meters before he was chopped to the ground by three men, screaming and wailing!

The evil spirits on the battlefield were all created by blood. Shen Lanxi looked at the murderous brothers and raised her hand: "Clean up the battlefield!"

The bandit's head was chopped off, his body was buried, and all valuables on his body were looted. The horse the bandit rode was left to them for transportation.

After cleaning, the group followed the marks left by Xiao Fang and went up to the nearby Caotuo Ridge.

There were only a dozen horse bandits guarding Caotuoling. After Xiao Fang sent people to investigate, he took over Caotuoling in one fell swoop.

When Shen Lanxi arrived with her men, he had already ordered them to place all the food and valuables in the yard!

"This shouldn't be the place where they live for a long time. I guess they are villagers nearby. Once they find something profitable, they will gather together!" Xiao Fang said based on his experience!

Shen Lanxi: "Divide the food and property into three parts, one to Dayutun, one to Hongliutun, and one to Baiheweisuo!"

Liu Yanhui immediately took people to take inventory.

Shen Lanxi: "Give me one third of the bandit's head first!"

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi led Wei Dongzhu and Xiao Fang to inspect the surroundings and stopped at the slope of the back mountain!

"Now that Cao Lianwang is dead, Tian Maofeng will definitely send a new centurion."

Wei Dongzhu: "We have just been promoted. Even if we have made contributions in suppressing bandits, we will only be rewarded with money. There is not much hope for promotion!"

Shen Lanxi: "Before the new centurion comes, I want to sit in the position of the general flag!"

Wei Dongzhu and Xiao Fang looked at each other and said nothing.

"Go back and tell Niu Zhuang that we have wiped out most of the bandits, with only ten wounded escaping to the vicinity of Caotuo Ridge!"

"Yes!"

After Wei Dongzhu returned, he immediately reported to Niu Zhuang.

"General Niu, we have wiped out most of the bandits. Only the bandit leader and a few injured ones are left. Captain Lan has already led people to chase them. The credit for killing the bandit leader cannot be monopolized by her!"

When Niu Zhuang heard this, he didn't look hurt at all. He got up and led his troops, asking Wei Dongzhu to lead the way.

As soon as he reached Caotuo Ridge, Niu Zhuang was ambushed by horse thieves and died on the spot!

Two days later, the new centurion Tian Nong came for appointment!

Shen Lanxi first presented the horse thieves' heads, seized money and horses, and then informed them of Niu Zhuang's death!

Tian Nong was filled with grief and indignation: "These bold bandits are simply lawless. I, Tian Nong, will not be a human being if I don't wipe them out!"

"You have done a great job in destroying the bandits. I will report to the commander and then reward you!"

A day later, Shen Lanxi changed her waist badge into the general flag badge.

Wei Dongzhu and others each received a reward!

As the New Year approaches, "horse thieves are rampant!"

Tian Nong, who had just taken office for a few days, was reprimanded by Tian Maofeng after being happy for a few days.

"You don't stay at the guard post, but spend your days at home living a life of drunkenness and debauchery. If someone catches you, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Tian Nong hurriedly said in a flattering tone: "Uncle, there is nothing wrong with the guard post."

Tian Maofeng angrily shouted with a dark face: "The horse thieves frequently harass Dayutun and other county villages. Even my superiors came to question me, asking why the horse thieves are so rampant in my area. Where can I put my old face?"

Tian Nong shrank back in fear: "Uncle, aren't they just a few bandits? I can send troops to wipe them out!"

When Tian Maofeng saw that his distant nephew didn't care at all about what he said, he immediately became furious.

"You go in person. If you don't wipe out all the bandits before the end of the year, I will dismiss you from your post!"

Tian Nong didn't dare to refute and quickly retreated with his neck shrunk!

The end of the year is approaching, but there is no laughter and joy in Hongliutun, only gloom and sorrow!

"I don't know where they are. How are they doing? Are they cold? Do they have hot meals?"

The women in the military camp all had sad faces, missing their men!

Shen Yuanjing and others drove two horse-drawn carriages, one loaded with grain and the other loaded with charcoal, and slowly returned to Hongliutun!

When the Shen family heard the news, they ran out quickly. When they arrived, the people from Hongliutun had already surrounded them.

Shen Yuanjing took out the list, read out each name, and gave out something.

"Family members of Wang Aping, come here. Wang Aping killed six bandits and is rewarded with twelve ounces of silver, six catties of rice, and six catties of charcoal!"

"I'm from Wang Aping's family. Please help me keep an eye on my things while I go home to call people!" Mrs. Wang Aping ran home happily!
