Chapter 105: Cloud-Piercing Stronghold Is Very Empty Yan Huaiwen unexpectedly distributed the silver first. Old Pine Mountain had been home to mountain bandits for years and had accumulated some wealth. Adding in what they had looted from the disaster victims, the total came to several hundred taels. The disaster victims were given one tael of silver per household. Such a generous hand stunned everyone. After distributing this large sum, not much silver remained. Unexpectedly, Yan…- 626.3 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 106: The Corvée Labor of Leshan Prefecture The lightly injured disaster victims under Physician Cui’s care had already left. A few unlucky ones, however, had started developing fevers. Their wounds were swelling—looking quite bad. The others, when passing by, saw that it was just as Old Yan had said: the bandits’ blades were “highly poisonous.” They felt particularly fortunate that they weren’t the ones injured. They also secretly vowed never to let those heartless…

- Chapter 100: Rescue Yan Lao’er led his men back, and the people who had stayed behind gathered around. After hearing him explain the origins of the women and children he had brought back, everyone felt deeply sorrowful. Li Xuemei stepped forward, gathered some straw mats from various households, and laid them together as a resting area. She also scattered some herbs around to repel snakes and insects, ensuring their comfort. The children, all very young, were visibly traumatized. They slept…

- Chapter 101: A Bull’s Strength Soaring to the Heavens! The four patrolling mountain bandits ran over. Seeing no one guarding the place, they cursed a few times and were about to step forward to check on the disaster victims inside. Suddenly, a flurry of bamboo arrows whizzed through the air. The distance was too close—they were hit straight in the face and collapsed on the spot. The disaster victims screamed in terror. The sudden turn of events caught them completely off guard. A…

- Chapter 102: Are These Bandits Here for a Joke? Others might freeze, but Yan Yu definitely wouldn’t. She thought to herself: A golden opportunity! Here it is! “Junior Scouts, charge with me!” At first, the children didn’t react. But once they did, they whooped and hollered, chasing after Yan Yu like a whirlwind. Their mothers screamed hoarsely, trying to call them back, but to no avail. “If you’re scared, stay back! If not, follow me!” Yan Yu steeled herself. She…

- Chapter 96: The Young Scouts She focused her gaze. The mountain forest at night was pitch black. But scattered throughout, there seemed to be some bright spots. Her spirits lifted. "Er Tie Brother, San Tie Brother, look over there—is that torchlight?" Upon hearing this, Er Tie swiftly climbed up a tree. San Tie stretched his neck, trying to see as well. San Tie asked, "Looks like it. Er Tie, do you see it clearly?" Er Tie remained silent. Yan Yu and San Tie exchanged a…

- Chapter 97: The Ferocious Dragon Crosses the River—Qiyun Stronghold They had confirmed the direction and estimated the distance. The group decided to charge ahead and secure advantageous terrain first. The term was a fresh one, introduced by Yan Lao’er, but after careful consideration, it made perfect sense. It was just like digging a pitfall trap for wild animals. The torchlight grew closer and closer. They lay in ambush on both sides of the path, six people per group, crouched in…

- Chapter 98: Old Yan Says Separating the three bandits for interrogation was a minor trick, hardly worth mentioning. "How many disaster victims are there on your mountain?" Yan Lao'er asked the first bandit. The first bandit thought for a moment. This wasn’t exactly a secret, so he answered honestly, "Excluding the children, about three to four hundred people." "Four to five hundred in total, counting adults and children. Where are you keeping them?" Yan Lao'er asked the second…
