Qin Xiao's words made those who had been imprisoned all night overjoyed. They all prepared for the worst and waited for Qin Xiao to renege on his promise.
If they hadn't been shocked by Qin Xiao's clean beheading, and were really afraid of death, so they could only take a gamble, they would not dare to speak.
Looking at everyone one by one, Qin Xiao smiled warmly: "I think you have nowhere to go, so you can still stay here in the future. When I first came here, I needed help. But are you worthy of the big responsibility?
, I need to put it to the test."
Everyone had different expressions, some were suspicious, some were defensive, and some were happy.
"I will also release the people you mentioned yesterday. I don't believe them in my heart. They are not as meritorious to me as you are." Qin Xiao said slowly, "Therefore, I sent you to keep an eye on them."
Upon hearing that it was such a test, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you find anyone who has any objections, report it to me and verify that you have merit, and you will be rewarded." Qin Xiao continued, "Don't do it in private. Those who are greedy for merit and slander, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely live up to your mission!" Everyone responded in unison.
At this moment, they were truly relieved to have escaped death.
Qin Xiao released the people and arranged them one by one, keeping an eye on anyone who leaked the information.
“Young Master’s brilliant move!” Zhao Chun couldn’t help but admire.
This group of people was already in a panic, and if they were released, they would be afraid that many more people would suffer, and that Qin Xiao and the others' secrets might also be revealed.
If he is killed and his words are broken, the villagers in the village will inevitably be afraid, and the news may also leak out.
Now that we have arranged things for them, their hearts will calm down and they will believe that Qin Xiao really will not kill them.
Send them to keep an eye on the people in the village outside. One of them is the leaker and the other is the one being leaked. There is absolutely no way they can join forces.
In a very short time, they really stabilized this place.
Only when this place is stabilized and Jinyong City sends troops to test it, will they find that this place is still impregnable.
Those who stayed behind in the village stabilized the people, and those who leaked information about them watched their actions closely.
"Recuperate. Can we completely conquer these people? There is still a battle to be fought!" Qin Xiao smiled at Zhao Chun and took the first step to treat the wound.
There was a doctor in the village with good medical skills. He not only had ordinary medicine for injuries, but also some good things, which was convenient for Qin Xiao.
In Jinyong City, the county guard received the news of something strange happening in the Ma bandit village outside the city as soon as dawn.
But it was the people from the outermost village who delivered the news. They only said that the granary was burned down and several horse bandits guarding the village were killed. They speculated that something had happened in the horse bandit village.
"These words are vague and attract people." The county guard was furious.
"Your Majesty, this person is a 'villager' and must go back." The deputy said carefully, otherwise his identity would be revealed.
The county guard frowned: "In your opinion, someone broke into this Ma Bandit Village?"
"This..." The deputy also looked embarrassed, "I don't dare to make any arbitrary judgments."
The county guard glanced at him coldly, then stared at the letter: "If it is internal strife, it is impossible to burn down the outermost granary. It is obviously an attack from the east and west, and it must be an invasion by foreign enemies. This Ma Bandit Village is monolithic, and I have sent many people.
Except for a few refugees who were placed in other villages, the rest never returned. Who is so bold as to attack them?"
"He must be someone who doesn't know how high the sky and the earth are." The deputy hurriedly agreed.
But an idea flashed in the governor's mind: "Go, send someone to invite General Qin Pi and General Liu Pi. Tell me that I will host a banquet for you two!"
"Her Majesty, you are suspicious..." The deputy's eyes widened in disbelief, "How dare they?"
"Why don't you dare?" the county guard sneered, "This year's martial arts competition, the Central Guards Army has become a blockbuster, and it is no longer the idiot of the past. I was wondering, it was just a gift to the clan to support the spirit, why did the two generals of the Central Guards Army come together, said
I heard that gangsters were running rampant outside Jin Yong City as a precaution, but now I’m afraid they are targeting the fat people outside my city!"
He has been here for five years, and no one knows better than him the three bandit dens outside Jinyong City, especially Ma Bandit Village, which is the most fertile and ferocious.
With a radius of a hundred miles, except for the other two who were separated from them by Jin Yong City, they were too far away, and they were constantly being watched by Jin Yong City. They did not dare to go out and annex them easily, for fear that they would have already become their prey.
Sure enough, the governor's office sent someone to invite him, and Liucheng had been renovated a long time ago. He went with Wu Zheng and told the governor that Qin Xiao had caught the wind and cold.
The county governor looked concerned and immediately sent the best doctor there. No one was seen, but the man who treated him was indeed infected with a severe cold.
"Can you hide it?" Wu Zheng asked Liucheng.
Liu Cheng shook his head gently: "Jinyong City is the gate of Kyoto. This county governor can be trusted by the Prime Minister and has been stationed here for five years. It is definitely not an easy matter."
What they did was just to prevent the county magistrate's government from getting a handle on it.
"My young master, aren't they in danger?" Wu Zheng couldn't sit still.
Liucheng stopped him: "From now on, we can't act rashly. The young master has a long-term plan and I'm afraid he already has a countermeasure."
They can only stay here now, and the people from the county magistrate's office will definitely keep an eye on them.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiao had a good sleep and his energy recovered a lot, but his face was still pale due to serious injuries.
"I've killed the extra ones as you ordered, and let one go." Xiao Liu saw him coming out, so he stepped forward and said.
"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and ordered, "Prepare for battle tonight."
"Young Master deliberately disturbed others." Zhao Chun understood his intention.
"Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against a thief?" Qin Xiao looked at the sunless sky, the thick clouds were extremely low, as if they could collapse at any time, "Last night's movements will definitely leave doubts in their hearts, you
I can't guard this place for a long time, so I have to dispel their doubts before leaving so that nothing can go wrong."
The county guard of Jinyongcheng left more than one spy, and almost all of them were sent out this morning. When they came back, Xiao Liu killed all the extra spies and allowed one to escape.
The county guard has received the news at this moment. Whether he suspects that Ma Bandi Village is in trouble or suspects that his own people have been spotted by Ma bandit Village, he will test it tonight.
What happened last night made the surviving horse bandits feel anxious. After all, they had been with their old master for a long time, and they needed trust and harmony.
What I learned from Jun Ci is that there is nothing easier to break down barriers and unfamiliarity than fighting side by side and fighting the enemy together!
"This is the property that was counted." Zhao Chun handed a booklet to Qin Xiao.
He and Wu Zheng teamed up to destroy a nest before. Jun Ci carefully selected it and it was very fertile, but compared with this place, it was nothing worth mentioning.
This horse bandit is so rich!
If it weren't for Jun Ci's personal support, the Central Guards Army would not be as wealthy as the horse bandits of several hundred people, with an army of more than 10,000 people!
