Chapter 68: Chapter 68

There wasn’t just food, but also countless gold and silver treasures and various types of precious porcelain.

Along with that, there were some account books and documents. Ruan Mian weighed the gold bars and ingots in the box and resolutely moved all these things into the space.

Only after acquiring those account books did she realize that these things were all supplies from the granary of Bianpo City, and these gold and silver treasures were definitely the city’s military salary.

This group of Xuanjia Army had long planned, taking advantage of the time when Mu Su and his troops were defending the city, to block the entire city, completely disregarding the people and supplies that hadn’t evacuated, and burned the city to the ground.

This was all just to let the Xuanjia Army replace the Rongcheng Army and take King Yan’s forces into the borderlands. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

And thus they took all these riches into their pockets.

It was a pity for those innocent people, and since it was so, she wouldn’t leave them a single cent!

Let them eat air then!

After Ruan Mian moved everything out without a trace of concern, she walked out.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the wooden hut, several soldiers immediately blocked her!

"What are you doing here?!" they demanded harshly. Ruan Mian quickly lowered her head and hoarsely replied, "I’m leaving right away!"

In her peripheral view, she saw a robust female warrior ahead, commanding a group of people. While pondering, the soldier behind her shouted sharply again.

"What are you still standing there for? Don’t think just because you look delicate and have General Ashi protecting you that we won’t dare to do anything!"

Could it be the Ashi from the original book, King Yan’s capable subordinate?

This female commander, over thirty, immensely strong, was the tigress of the Xuanjia Army, feared by many.

Though a female warrior, she was from a military family, with an air of hooliganism, and few in the army dared provoke her. The book even mentioned her keeping countless Rouge Slave, preferring those who looked delicate.

After the Rongcheng Army was defeated, she privately captured many male soldiers, subduing them under her skirts, tormenting them daily.

Especially since she had some peculiar hobbies.

When Ruan Mian saw her approaching her direction, she didn’t hesitate to lower her head, ignoring the suspicious look from the person behind, and quickly blended into the night, preparing to go and meet Mu Su through the woods behind.

But she hadn’t walked far when suddenly there was a rustling sound from the nearby jungle.

Ruan Mian instinctively tightened her grip on her dagger, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Only when a familiar voice came from behind did she allow her heart to settle down.

It was Qi Nanfeng limping after her, whispering, "You set that fire, didn’t you?! And now you want to escape? Do you even know how many people are in this camp? You’re just one woman; where could you possibly run to! Truly clueless!"

He glanced around, and seeing no one else around Ruan Mian, he suddenly changed his tone.

"If today you beg me, maybe I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, as long as I shout, no matter how skilled you are, you won’t escape this place!"

Ruan Mian saw that even after being taught a lesson, he could still boast in front of her.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled that tigress, Ashi.

She touched the Jade Bracelet and took out a bottle of medicine from the space, moving closer to Qi Nanfeng with a slight smile.

"Qi Nanfeng, wasn’t the lesson you got earlier enough? You’re like mud Buddha crossing the river, rather than wasting time threatening me, you better think about how to explain yourself to the Fifth Princess once you reach Ru Ning."

With these words, Qi Nanfeng’s eyes widened suddenly!

However, in the next moment, she suddenly pinched Qi Nanfeng’s mouth, pouring the powder from the medicine bottle into it.

Qi Nanfeng struggled desperately, but having just taken a beating, he was no match for Ruan Mian.

After being force-fed, dizziness enveloped him, and he watched helplessly as he passed out.

Ruan Mian’s gaze darkened, and she decisively dragged him out from the bushes, daringly stepping in front of General Ashi!

Intentionally saying this Rouge Slave of hers was trying to escape amidst the chaos.

Among Ashi’s Rouge Slaves, seeing Qi Nanfeng’s delicate face left little doubt, and one angrily kicked him.

Then she called two subordinates over: "Force the medicine into him! I want to see where he can run to!"

Ruan Mian watched as her two subordinates forced the powder into his mouth.

Seeing this, she curled her lips slightly, knowing that in the original book, this tigress liked using this special drug to make those Rouge Slaves more alluring, more obedient, akin to eunuchs.

This made them increasingly feminine while also dependent on the drug, unable to leave her.

Stopping the drug would result in extremely painful reactions.

However, as Ruan Mian intended to leave, she was called to a halt by Ashi!

"Stop!" Her dangerous eyes glanced over as if to see through Ruan Mian, somewhat suspicious of this unfamiliar face.

Coincidentally, at that moment, several soldiers’ cries came from the camp! "General Ashi!! It’s bad, it’s bad! The fire hasn’t been put out, and our temporary warehouse has been looted! Everything is gone!"

Upon hearing this, the sturdy General Ashi’s face changed, filled with anger: "Impossible!!"

There was so much stuff; how could it just disappear!?

Seeing her charging angrily towards the warehouse, Ruan Mian kicked aside the obstructing Qi Nanfeng, vanishing once more into the night.

Upon nearing the backwoods, she heard Mu Su’s voice from a distance.

Ruan Mian quickly went over, finding Mu Su carrying Ah Jing, followed by a few of their battle-hardened brothers, supporting each other in hiding among some dark stones.

Ah Jing was worried: "Miss, are you alright?"

Ruan Mian shook her head, not wanting to waste time, urging them: "Their camp’s on fire, and the warehouse is in turmoil, they’re too busy to mind you guys, so we should quickly return to a safe place."

"Mu Su, you should know where my family is, right? Do you recognize the way?"

However, Ah Jing anxiously said: "Miss, you just said there’s trouble in their warehouse? The stuff in their warehouse is the supplies and salary for the people of Bianpo City! We need to..."

"More important than that is your lives, plus, there’s no way we could move all those things ourselves, let’s go."

Ruan Mian didn’t tell them that the warehouse had long been emptied by her, not leaving a single cent for those villains.

Mu Su felt she had a point and quickly led them away via a side path.

All the way, Ah Jing couldn’t calm her heart, remembering how their entire Rongcheng Army was betrayed by the court’s Xuanjia Army.

"We originally thought the Xuanjia came to ; as long as we protected Bianpo City, we could triumph gloriously in the border battles! But never expected them to... to ignore so many lives, trapping everyone in the city with the enemy and burning them all, utterly heartless!"

"Those of us that didn’t penetrate the city, they didn’t spare either, capturing us all here. Why doesn’t the court intervene?!" Ah Jing fumed, recalling their innocently dead brothers and civilians, her tears burning hot.
