The death of the scarred man stunned the Yellow Banner Gang. However, a dense barrage of arrows shot out from the Mountain Forest, killing everyone in one fell swoop. A few escaped, but were immediately killed by the Imperial Guard were watching from a distance.
Currently, Su Chen's troops are ranked, with General Zhou being the strongest, followed by the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Guard excel at assassination, intelligence gathering, and stealth, but their overall combat skills are by no means weak; they are at least stronger than the Death Warriors.
At this moment Xu Yuheng and Xu Family were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground. They had never seen such a scene before, with so many people dying right before their eyes.
Blood was splattered all over the ground, looking so eerie and terrifying.
They had seen dead people before, but they had never seen so many dead.
Immediately, some members of the Xu Family knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and begging, "Spare us! We were just passing by, please spare our lives, sir! Don't kill us!"
Once someone started, everyone else knelt down and begged for mercy.
A group of people gradually emerged from the Mountain Forest, with the leader resembling a towering Xiaoshan, exuding an extremely imposing aura.
Upon seeing General Zhou, the Xu Family began kowtowing and begging for mercy repeatedly, their faces covered in mud.
This terrified them.
General Zhou silently stepped aside, and Su Chen's somewhat thin figure walked out. He still looked tired, having been on the road since leaving Qi Province and hadn't had a proper rest.
So I'm a bit tired right now.
Su Chen stepped forward, with two Death Warriors closely following him. If anyone from the Xu Family made the slightest move, they would immediately rush forward and kill them.
There were also four Death Warriors on the side, looking around. If there were any arrows or anything like that, they could block them for Su Chen in a critical moment, trading one life for another.
Upon seeing Su Chen approach, the Xu Family members did not dare to raise their heads and continued to kowtow on the ground.
Xu Youling knew what the situation was, so she kept kowtowing on the ground and covered her face with mud, afraid that she would be targeted again.
Who are you people?!
Su Chen's slightly magnetic voice rang out, Xu Family tensed up. They could hear the killing intent and coldness in his tone.
"My lord, we are from the Xu Family of Anping County. We were framed and almost had our entire family executed, which left us no choice but to leave our home."
"Please spare our lives, Your Honor! We are desperate fugitives. We will absolutely not tell anyone what happened today. Please pretend we never saw you."
Xu Yuheng deduced from just one sentence that Su Chen was definitely not a government soldier, so he chose to tell the truth.
If it were a soldier, his answer would be different; he would say he was just moving.
"Is there?"
Su Chen turned to the side and asked, and an Imperial Guard immediately took out a booklet containing records of all the major and minor Lineage in Anping County.
Every time he set off, he would have his Imperial Guard urgently scout out the situation ahead.
The Imperial Guard didn't answer Su Chen, but instead looked at Xu Yuheng and asked, "What's your name?"
Xu Yuheng dared not conceal the truth. "I Xu Yuheng, the head of the Xu Family."
The Imperial Guard then spoke to Su Chen, "Master, it's alright."
Su Chen nodded lightly, a hint of weariness creeping onto his face. His tone left no room for argument. "You're coming with me. Of course, you can also choose to leave."
Many members of the Xu Family were overjoyed, thinking they had a chance to survive, and looked at Xu Yuheng with great excitement.
Xu Yuheng glared at him fiercely, then gestured with his eyes. The latter was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened immediately, and he dared not say another word.
Xu Yuheng Su Chen with a wry smile and said, "Sir, we are willing to go with you."
Clearly, he only had one choice.
That means just following along.
Su Chen nodded, and then, under the guidance of the Imperial Guard, headed towards the mountain. About an hour later, they arrived at a village nestled in the Mountain Forest. The village was well-connected and, while not exactly easy to defend, it was certainly a good place to escape if trouble arose.
On the ground at the entrance of the village, there was a Yellow Banner Gang flag, and many corpses were scattered around.
"Master, kill everyone from the Yellow Banner Gang."
Su Chen nodded. "Let's dispose of the body first, then stay here for the time being."
After giving the order, the village quickly began a major cleanup. It was clear that the village could not accommodate two thousand people, so General Zhou also ordered the construction of houses on a large scale.
However, due to the tight schedule, it was very rudimentary, only enough to provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Fortunately, the weather isn't cold now, otherwise someone could have really died.
The Xu Family, including Xu Yuheng, who were standing behind Su Chen, showed even greater fear after hearing those words.
The Yellow Banner Gang... has been wiped out!
Who exactly are these people!?
Xu Yuheng suddenly saw a group of soldiers in armor guarding the area in the distance, his pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.
What excellent equipment!
Are they planning a rebellion?
Xu Yuheng instinctively felt that the Xu Family had been caught up in a terrifying storm.
Su Chen ignored them, ordered his Servants to keep a close watch on them, and then went to the storeroom to put the things Sign-In Sign-In the past few days into it.
Three hundred catties of salt.
Two thousand catties of grain.
He didn't take out the pork and beef. In those days, there were no refrigerators, and they would probably spoil very quickly if left out. The beef could be made into beef jerky, but that would be a lot of trouble.
Two thousand catties of grain, given those people's appetites, wouldn't actually last them very long.
Even if you eat sparingly, it will only last for a few days.
However, he can maintain a balanced diet of meat and vegetables. After all, he still has so much meat, so it shouldn't be a problem to last for ten days or half a month.
After these arrangements were made, Su Chen was taken to the former room of the Yellow Banner Gang, which had already been tidied up. Su Chen immediately lay down and fell asleep.
Everything outside is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The people Su Chen summoned will not betray Su Chen. Their beliefs and values are based on this world, and they also have complete Memories, such as their childhood Memories.
Su Chen's salt was so delicious that many soldiers exclaimed how good it was.
After all, many people have never even tasted fine salt.
Su Chen thought he could finally get a good night's sleep, but he woke up after only five hours. Although he hadn't slept very soundly, his fatigue had been greatly relieved.
He stepped out of the room and looked towards the Mountain Forest.
Many trees had fallen, and dilapidated huts had been built around the area, drafty from all sides. Luckily it was summer, otherwise, I don't know how we would survive.
They are currently in Xinyang. Although the temperature difference between the four seasons is not so extreme here, the temperature is only around ten degrees Celsius in winter, and it snows occasionally, which is unbearable.
Su Chen's ears were constantly buzzing. There were many mosquitoes in the Mountain Forest, and the heat was also a bit muggy, making him extremely irritable.
