"What are you going to do? Let me go!"

  "Hey mister, listen to me, let me go and Ill give you all the silver coins in my belt..."

  "Move for me a bit and try it out, wait till I get out and Ill skin you alive..."

  More than eighty bandits were brought down to the empty ground outside the camp, pressed to the ground in four rows amidst a chorus of curses and pleas for mercy.

  Yang Kai-shan still looked worried, and several old soldiers were the same. They glanced at Liu Ces determined expression and mustered up the courage to ask, "Really killed?"

  Liu Ce didnt say a word and didnt respond. Sun Cheng walked to Liu Ces side at this time and said softly, "Liu Ce, killing captives is unlucky, dont you consider it?"

  "Is killing prisoners unlucky?" Liu Ce let out a cold snort, "When those civilians were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, did they ever think about how unlucky it was to kill prisoners? Whatever bad luck there is, bring it upon me, Liu Ce! I dont believe that killing a few shameless bandits will bring any bad luck! Today, Im going to let these fleeing thieves know that once they fall into my hands, theres absolutely no way for them to escape!"

  Seeing Liu Ces mind was made up, the others no longer tried to dissuade him. Upon careful consideration of Liu Ces words, they felt that there was some truth to them.

  Yang Kai-shan gave the order, a row of refugees holding various short spears and swords (the bamboo guns had been discarded) slowly approached from behind the row of bandits. The bandits did not understand what was happening when Yang Kai-shan gave another order! Those refugees hesitated for a moment before fiercely thrusting their weapons into the bodies of the bandits, and the scene erupted in a cacophony of wails that entered the ears of the onlookers. The girls who had just been rescued were so frightened that they quickly turned around, closed their eyes, and trembled all over.

  "No, you cant do this to me! Ive already surrendered! Why are you still going to kill me?! What right do you have?!" A burly bandit, seeing the row of corpses being dragged away by the refugees and piled up with the dead on the battlefield, realized that these refugees were different from the soldiers, they really dared to kill prisoners. He immediately stood up and shouted loudly, and some other bandits also plucked up their courage and tried to escape.

  Liu Ces eyes turned cold, and he quickly grabbed a short spear from the hand of a nearby refugee and threw it over. The bandit was pierced through the back by the short spear and spat out a mouthful of blood before falling straight down.

  "Madman!" Just as a thief was about to escape, Liu Ce shouted and saw Feng Qinnian rush over. The thiefs hands were tied with ropes, so he didnt run far before losing his balance and falling to the ground. When he tried to get up again, a huge foot kicked him in the face, sending him flying several meters away, heavily crashing to the ground. Feng Qinnian ran up to him and without saying a word, stepped on his face with one foot. Suddenly, he felt a salty and sour taste in his mouth, and his face was wet and sticky. Before he could react, another kick came down, and all he heard was a faint "crack" sound, as if something had broken.

  Feng Chou Nian continued to stomp on the bandits face with all his might, blood splashing from under his shoes. The other bandits watched in horror as their companions face was flattened, his eyes and nose crushed beyond recognition. Feng Chou Nian showed no signs of stopping, muttering to himself with each kick: "Let you run, let you run, let you run..." Yang Kai Shan and Yang You Huai rushed over to pull him away. The sight on the ground was terrifying - a row of teeth exposed, eyes and nose crushed, white skull protruding from the forehead, the entire face a bloody mess beyond recognition. Some of the bandits who saw this scene fainted, their pants suddenly warm with urine as they lost control of their bladder.

  "Second row!" Yang Kai Shan gave the order again after Fa Cui Nians death, and the second row of bandits saw how those two bandits were trampled to death, especially that one who was still alive, they became quiet, waiting obediently for the soldiers blades to pierce their bodies...

  After killing four rows smoothly, there were still three people left. Qian Bings whole body was trembling and his face was pale. Just as Yang Kai was about to give the order for execution, a man with the surname Zhou from the rescued civilians stood up and said to Yang Kai: "Let me do it!"

  Yang Kai Shan glanced at him and then looked at Liu Ce. Seeing Liu Ce nodding, he handed him a short knife.

  The man with the surname Zhou held a short knife and walked unsteadily to Qian Bing, who looked at him with a face full of horror.

  "Zhou Ge, you must avenge the villagers of Zhuangzi! My father and mother died so miserably!"

  As a young girl from the crowd let out a shrill cry, Zhou shouted and stabbed Qian Bing in the chest with his knife. Qian Bings eyes widened in pain as he stared at the man in front of him. Zhou looked at Qian Bing, remembering what had happened to his wife and child, and pulled out the knife again, stabbing it into his chest... Seven or eight times, Qian Bing had long stopped breathing, his eyes wide open, dying a painful and terrifying death.

  …………

  At this moment, Qin Mo and Xu Hui stood on the wall of the villa, looking at the quiet passageway in the distance, waiting for Liu Ce to return. Their hearts were like a stone hanging, unable to calm down for a long time.

  "Mr. Qin, do you think Brother Liu will return victorious?" Xu Hui asked Qin Mo.

  "Its hard to say, since Liu brother said he would return at the time of Shen, and now that the time has not yet arrived, there is no need to worry too much." Qin Mos words were so, but in fact, his heart was also uncertain.

  Just then, a cloud of dust rose on the quiet road. Qin Mo looked up and saw a fast horse galloping towards him, with a young man leaning forward on the horses neck, hugging it tightly. It was none other than Liu Hu.

  "Hurry up and open the gate!" Xu Hui hastily ordered the remaining refugees to open the gate and welcome Liu Hu in.

  Liu Hu pulled the horse into the courtyard, almost falling off, and fortunately held onto the reins with Xu Huis help to avoid embarrassment.

  "Hu zi, how are Liu Xiong and the others? How is the battle going? Why have you come back alone?" Xu Hui asked anxiously, shaking Liu Hu vigorously before he had even calmed down. The refugees around them also gathered around Liu Hu, waiting for his answer. This battle was too important, everyone had been starving all day, waiting for news of victory and food supplies to arrive. If they failed, it would be a disaster.

  "Stop shaking, my eyes are blurry!" Hu Zi pushed away Xu Huis hand, shook his head and sighed mysteriously, "This story starts from when we set out early in the morning, we climbed mountains and crossed rivers, went through..."

  "Tell us, Tiger, what does Brother Liu want us to do?" Qin Mo smiled and interrupted Liu Hus boasting. He already understood that Liu Ce had won the victory, but there was some reason he hadnt returned yet, so he let Liu Hu come back with a message.

  "Mr. Qin, ah, cant you just let me finish speaking?! Liu Ge said that there are too many things and not enough people to move them over, so we need to ask the Zhuang family to send more people to help!"

  As soon as Liu Hu said this, Qin Mo and Xu Huis hanging hearts finally calmed down, the surrounding men burst into a cheer, lifting Liu Hu high up and throwing him into the air...

  …………

  "Good men are above, I will follow them to the death!" In the camp, among the rescued civilians, those seven men knelt in front of Liu Ce and swore allegiance. It was because Liu Ces refugee army seemed different from others, treating themselves with kindness, not bullying them, sharing food to fill their hunger, even the girls didnt fall behind, more benevolent than government soldiers by a hundred times. Now that they had no home, and would be rootless in the future, it was better to follow him wholeheartedly.

  Liu Ce said lightly, "Get up, you are all from the same village. I wont say much more. From now on, we will be brothers who share life and death together. With me, Liu Ce, here, I guarantee that everyone will have food to eat."

  After listening to Liu Ces words, the seven people bowed deeply and got up to join Yang Kai-shan and others in transporting goods. Only Old Man Gao, who was already old, was called by Liu Ce to his side without any arrangement. Old Man Gao was afraid that he would not be of use, and after barely escaping from the tigers mouth, he was driven out again. He quickly said to Liu Ce: "Although I am 53 years old this year, I still have strength. Good fellow, dont look down on me. As for skills such as carpentry in the manor, I still have some experience."

  Liu Ce was about to speak and explain to Old Man Gao, but unexpectedly, his words were overheard by Feng Ying, who was not far away and was loading wooden wheels onto a flatbed cart. He immediately became interested and threw down the tools in his hands to two refugees beside him, running over: "Old Man Gao, do you understand craftsmanship?"

  "When I was seven years old, I followed my father to help with his work. At fourteen, I started making farm tools on my own in the village. By twenty-two, I was already making weapons and military equipment for the government office... Its not bragging, but when I was your age, I was already a well-known craftsman throughout Ganzhou..."

  "Youre talking nonsense! If you were really that capable, why havent I heard of it?!" Feng Yings face flushed with anger, his scar-covered cheeks twitching wildly. "Ive been a craftsman for 25 years since I was eight years old, and Ive traveled to five or six provinces, but Ive never heard of a famous craftsman named Gao. You should be more careful when bragging..."
