"Reporting, Fort Master."
"County Magistrate Wang Ru's troops have already arrived at the foot of the mountain.”
Hearing the report from the scout, Ye Qingmei and the others turned their gazes to Chu Xiu.
"Since he's here, I'll make a trip!”
Chu Xiu chuckled and stood up.
His movements were elegant and his expression was calm.
Everyone's expression relaxed after being influenced by Chu Xiu's confidence.
"Let's go and take a look together."
Worried about Chu Xiu, Ye Qingmei decided to personally hold the fort for him.
On the other side, Qingshan County Magistrate Wang Ru also brought a thousand well-equipped local soldiers to the stronghold territory.
"Milord, it's just a few thieves. Why did you come personally?”
"Give this lowly one five hundred local soldiers and we can raze this mountain stronghold.”
Wang Ru frowned.
He realized that the people he had brought were already a little proud after winning consecutively.
Pride was bound to fail. This was not good.
Hence, he looked at the person who spoke and berated,"Don't spout nonsense. How can you take down Sunset Village?”
"This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The bandits have the advantage of the terrain. Even I don't have the confidence to defeat them, let alone you?”
Under Wang Ru's scolding, the person who spoke smiled embarrassedly and retracted all his previous arrogance.
Seeing that he had taken his words to heart, Wang Ru also told them the purpose of their trip.
"The bandits of the Sunset Stockade are from poor families, and they have never done anything outrageous.”
"Therefore, our main purpose here is to persuade them to surrender.”
"If they're willing to surrender, then we'll turn them into good citizens after a year!”
"If you're stubborn, then it's time for you to show off.”
After Wang Ru finished speaking, everyone nodded without any objections.
Not long after, Wang Ru saw the people of Sunset Stronghold waiting in formation.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ru was not surprised at all.
Since he came with great fanfare, he naturally did not hide his tracks. Therefore, it was normal for Sunset Village to be prepared.
"Let's fight!"
"I will talk to their chief first.”
As soon as Wang Ru finished speaking, the man who had shouted that 500 people would flatten Sunset Village shouted at the mountain gate,"Call your chief out to answer. Our lord has something to say.”
This man was full of energy and his voice shook the sky.
A loud roar instantly spread in all directions, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.
Since Wang Ru didn't make a move directly, it was a good thing.
Therefore, Ye Qingmei immediately cupped her fists and said respectfully,""May I know why Lord Wang Ru has come to my village?”
"You are the chief of Sunset Village?"
Wang Ru was shocked when he saw a slim woman reply.
Although he knew that Sunset Village was a simple and honest village, he never thought that the village chief would be such a valiant woman.
"This little girl, Ye Qingmei, is the chief of Sunset Village.”
Ye Qingmei replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"You are a beauty, why are you a thief?"
After hearing Ye Qingmei's reply, Wang Ru's serious face also revealed a trace of disappointment.
Then, he sighed with the same emotion as Chu Xiu!
Hearing these familiar words, Ye Qingmei looked at Chu Xiu strangely.
The eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart.
Chu Xiu remained unmoved.
"Some people are born to be kings, while others are born to be lonely.”
"If we had a choice, we wouldn't want to be bandits!”
Shaking her head and sighing, Ye Qingmei's melancholic voice entered everyone's ears.
"Bandits are bandits after all. What they do is illegal.”
"Since Chief Ye has the intention to become a good man, are you willing to do so?”
As soon as Wang Ru finished speaking, the important people in the village were all shocked.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to turn over a new leaf!”
"I wonder what we need to pay?”
Knowing that there was no such thing as a wasted lunch in the world, Ye Qingmei did not get carried away by the pleasant surprise. She looked at Wang Ru and asked.
"Chief Ye is really smart."
After Wang Ru let out a sigh of admiration, he stated his request.
"This is impossible!"
When he finished speaking, the crowd was agitated.
"What, do you not trust me?”
A year of imprisonment was not a big punishment, but it passed in a flash.
Why were they so excited?
Wang Ru was curious about everyone's reaction.
"Lord Wang Ru is famous far and wide. You are a hero that everyone admires. We naturally trust you.”
"It's fine if it's just us old fellows who are imprisoned, but the young people like the Fort Master can't!”
"Lord, please forgive them!”
"Otherwise, their lives will be ruined!”
The old men who had fallen into the stronghold began to beg Wang Ru.
"The law is merciless!"
"I can at most reduce their sentences, but I can't exempt them completely.”
Shaking his head, Wang Ru did not intend to set a precedent.
Seeing this, Ye Qingmei wanted to agree to Wang Ru's conditions.
However, Chu Xiu was one step ahead of her.""Lord Wang, can you give me some face and exempt them from prison?”
After all, he had promised to help Ye Qingmei resolve this matter, so Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
"Who are you?"
The people on the road are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
He had thought that it was already impressive for Sunset Village to have Ye Qingmei, but he didn't expect Chu Xiu to have such an outstanding temperament.
Therefore, Wang Ru still asked when he saw Chu Xiu's extraordinary bearing.
"Chu Xiu."
Chu Xiu revealed his name with a faint smile.
" Chu Xiu!"
"That Chu, that Xio?"
Hearing this thunderous name, Wang Ru was shocked.
For some reason, Wang Ru directly connected the young man in front of him with the world-renowned War God of the North.
However, as Chu Xiu spoke, he realized that his premonition was right.
