Liu Yue sat in the carriage after his subordinates had disposed of the corpses.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing 89 Mountain Thieves. Hidden Quest's fourth phase completion rate is 1%. Rewarding 89 Faith Points. Currently, his Faith Value was 8121 points.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully protecting Zhao Tong. You have received 1000 Faith Points from Zhao Tong. Current Faith Points: 9121.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for commanding his subordinates to kill four bandit leaders. You have received 800 Faith Points. Current Faith Points: 9921.”
After a series of notifications, Liu Yue's Faith Points reached 9921 points.
"It seems that fighting can increase faith points. I have to fight more in the future.”Liu Yue pondered.
As they were walking, someone suddenly rode his horse and reported,"My lord, there is a group of people coming towards us. There seems to be more than ten of them.”
"Could it be the second wave?" The corner of Liu Yue's mouth twitched. Zhang Ren, who was in front of him, came over and said,"Manager Lu has arrived."
"My lord, this old servant is late and has startled my lord.”Lu Qiang's old and sharp voice came from afar.
Liu Yue heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Qiang had come.
The news of Liu Yue being granted the title of Governor of Yingchuan, the General of Yulin, and returning to Hongnong before going to Yingchuan had already spread back home.
Lu Qiang was anxious. He felt that the horse was running too slowly. He used his lightness skill and jumped off the horse. After a few ups and downs, he arrived in front of Liu Yue.
"My lord is frightened!" Lu Qiang bowed and said.
"No worries, Uncle Lu, please rise." Liu Yue helped him up.
At this moment, Dian Wei came over with a bandit and said,""According to this bandit who surrendered, their leader was called Liu Pi. He was killed in the chaotic battle just now. After the Yellow Turban was defeated, he took his remaining subordinates and became bandits here.”
"Humph, you Yellow Turban remnant, how dare you plot against my lord. You really deserve to die.”Lu Qiang's eyes widened, and killing intent appeared on his face. He wanted nothing more than to take his life immediately.
Sensing Lu Qiang's killing intent, the bandit trembled in fear. He kept kowtowing and said,"Lord, it was Lord Liu Pi's idea to plot against your lord. We lowly people were only following orders.”
However, Lu Qiang was unmoved, and his killing intent became even stronger. The thief suddenly had an idea and said," Sir, I know where the grain is hidden. I'm willing to give it to you. I only hope to live."”
"Hmm, there's actually food. Not bad.”Liu Yue's heart skipped a beat.
He thought for a moment and said,"Dian Wei, take a few brothers and go with him to take a look. If there really is food, spare his life."“
"Thank you, sir." The bandit hurriedly said.”He brought Dian Wei up the mountain.
Lu Qiang glanced at the captives on the ground and frowned."Lord, do you want this old servant to kill all these thieves?”
Liu Yue hurriedly stopped him and said solemnly,""Let these people live first. Now that we need manpower, we can bring them back to do hard labor.”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were wars everywhere. Many people died every year, and the population problem became a big problem. Therefore, in the beginning, many fields in Liu Yue's family were uncultivated.
These captives were free labor. It would be a pity to kill them.
"My Lord, I'm afraid these thieves have evil intentions.”Guan Yu frowned.
"Whoever dares to betray me will be executed by a thousand cuts." Liu Yue said with killing intent.”
Zai Hanwei's number of cuts had reached 1,000, which could be said to have truly achieved the " 1,000 cuts "
In ancient times, where spiritual life was scarce, no trick was more attractive than cutting a living person. Every time the imperial court dealt with a serious criminal, the execution ground would be completely surrounded.
Although the process was bloody and cruel, the specific operation process was a test of the executioner's skills.
Just like a butcher in a butcher's shop, an executioner had to practice fast, accurate, and ruthless hand and eye skills. If he only cut one catty, he would definitely not get ten taels.
Zhang Ren laughed sinisterly." I will listen to my lord. I will kill whoever my lord tells me to kill. I will cut anyone who dares to betray me."”
"If we betray the lord, we will die a horrible death.”Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned green and they knelt down.
Liu Yue thought to himself," Dong Zhuo has wild ambitions now. He wants to usurp the throne. He's the real threat. If the world is in chaos in the future, many heroes will rise up. I'll need many people to fight for me."”
First, he slapped her, and now, he took out a candy.
Lu Qiang was convinced. He bowed and said," My lord is benevolent and righteous. Your vision is far-sighted. This old servant will go and knock them down now. Let them understand what gratitude is."”
Liu Yue did not stop him.
Giving a slap and a candy was the way to rule.
In fact, most of these bandits had joined the Yellow Turban Army because they could not afford to eat. Now was the time to use people, so Liu Yue decided to give them a chance.
Liu Yue looked at the lazy captives and knew that the Yellow Turban Army was really a motley crew.
"Back then, the Yellow Turban Army swept through the Nine States, claiming to have millions of soldiers, but they were defeated by Huangfu Song's 100,000-strong army because of poor discipline and the lack of morale.”
"Looks like I have to find a good general to lead the troops. Although I have the Lu Zhi Chapters and Sentences, I have a lazy personality and don't want to lead the troops myself. Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and the soldiers were also alright, but they seemed to be a little worse than Zhao Yun.”Liu Yue pondered.
This chapter ends.
