Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Listening to everyone's conversation, Shen Zhaoning frowned and tugged at her brother's clothes.

"Brother, didn't we say we shouldn't talk about the gods?"

Shen Yu whispered.

"Times have changed."

Seeing Shen Zhaoning's puzzled expression, Xiaoman couldn't help but lean closer, her tone indignant.

"These adults are so mysterious, forbidding us from doing this and that, yet they can do anything themselves."

Shen Zhaoning instinctively protected her brother.

"My brother isn't like that."

Xiaoman didn't want to argue with her sister over such a small matter, so she shook her head with a smile.

"Yes, yes, he isn't."

Shen Zhaoning...

Why is Brother Xiaoman being so sarcastic?

Upon hearing that this was a gift from the gods, the old man couldn't resist opening the biscuit and taking a bite.

"So hard!"

Hearing the old man's sigh, Shen Zhaoning looked at him with a deep gaze.

"That's because you haven't eaten coarse bread before. Once you've eaten coarse bread, you won't find it hard."

Hardness is a feeling.

The contrast is particularly striking.

The old man was a little embarrassed and swallowed with difficulty.

"It's a bit hard and a little dry, but... it actually tastes pretty good."

The tribesman standing nearby immediately untied the water pouch from his waist and handed it to the old man.

The old man took a sip of water, softened the compressed biscuit in his mouth, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This thing...this thing is amazing!"

"I only ate a few bites, and I felt full of energy."

Upon hearing this, the villagers swallowed hard as they looked at the compressed biscuits in the old man's hand.

"Really?"

"Is this thing really that amazing?"

The old man immediately handed over the remaining half of the compressed biscuit in his hand.

"You should all try some."

Each member of the tribe broke off a small piece and tasted it carefully.

"This...is amazing."

"Just a small bite, and I immediately feel energized."

The convicts said smugly.

"Not only that, that dark thing has the same effect, and it tastes even better."

The clan chief immediately distributed the chocolates he had.

Everyone took a bite.

"It's delicious, and it melts in your mouth."

"Delicious, so delicious! I have never tasted anything so delicious in my life."

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to eat something bestowed by the gods."

The constables sitting to the side felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing this.

They had never even tasted such divine food, yet a group of refugees had managed to eat it.

I have no idea what these things taste like or how they're delicious.

Seeing the joyful expressions on the faces of the clansmen, the chieftain's smile gradually faded.

He approached Hua Zhuyue and Shen Yu, lifted the corner of his robe, and knelt before them.

"I am Zhou Shouren, the head of the Zhou clan. There are no great figures in the clan. For generations, we have been farmers who toil in the land. We have no martial arts skills, only physical strength."

"If you don't mind, young master, after you help us deal with these bandits, my Zhou clan will be at your beck and call."

Shen Yu helped the clan leader up.

"Chief, you're too kind. If you're going to thank someone, you shouldn't thank me. You should thank the heroes behind me and the officials sitting there."

Zhou Shouren clearly saw that Shen Yu was the one who had the final say here.

Shen Yu said this only to make the exiled criminals and officials willingly go to suppress the bandits.

Zhou Shouren couldn't help but sigh. Although the young man in front of him was still young and had a tender face, his skill in managing people was already superb.

Zhou Shouren looked at the clansmen behind him.

"My lads, let us kowtow to you heroes."

The Zhou clan members all knelt down.

Zhou Shouren said with tears in his eyes.

"You brave warriors are clearly kind and benevolent people who care about the world. Please, save our Zhou family!"

The clansmen all echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, yes, you righteous men faced the corrupt officials without fear; you are clearly good people. Now that you are exiled, you must have been framed!"

Since their exile, they had been subjected to countless scornful looks and had never been so adored before.

Hearing the praise from the Zhou clan members, the exiled prisoners couldn't help but feel elated.

One of the exiled convicts spoke up.

"Not bad, you guys have good taste!"

"I agree to the task of suppressing the bandits."

Others echoed his sentiments.

"What bandits? I think they're just a bunch of bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong. I can take on three of them by myself. I'll go with you to wipe them out."

Shen Yu glanced at the constables sitting to the side who were unwilling to speak, and asked loudly.

"My lords, if we succeed in suppressing the bandits, will there be a reward?"

The constables remained silent, all turning their gazes toward Sun Er.

Sun Er felt immense pressure under the gaze of many eyes, and forced a stiff smile.

"You're joking, aren't you? I'm just a nobody, how could I possibly make such a decision!"

Whether or not there is a reward, that's decided by those above.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hu, who was standing next to Shen Yu, clenched his fist, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Um?"

The single word "hmm" was full of threat.

Seeing this, Sun Er shrank back and hurriedly spoke up.

"Although...although I don't have the final say on the reward, I will definitely put in a good word for you."

"If this bandit suppression is successful, the higher-ups will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Sun Er's two short sentences made some people who originally had no intention of participating in the bandit suppression suddenly have the idea.

Shen Yu said with a smile.

"My lords, we have decided to assist the Zhou clan in suppressing the bandits. Would you like to go?"

Sun Er felt a burning rage when he heard Shen Yu's words. The prisoners had all gone to suppress the bandits, so how could they, the officials, not go?

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Hua Zhuyue said with a smile.

"Alright...alright...since everyone is interested in suppressing the bandits, then let's go."

"However, the task of suppressing bandits is no ordinary matter and requires someone to take the lead."

I recommend my second daughter-in-law. She comes from a military family and grew up in the army. She even led troops into battle many times, only relinquishing her armor after marrying into the Marquis's household.

"She is strong, has excellent martial arts skills, and is also quite adept at strategizing and deploying troops."

Qin Su felt a little embarrassed by what Hua Zhuyue said, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"They're not that great, they've just won a few battles."

"All I ever did was lead a small squad of two hundred men into a camp of five thousand, burn their tents and provisions, and steal their weapons."

Two hundred people fighting five thousand people, and you call that not impressive?

Upon hearing Qin Su's words, everyone immediately decided to let Qin Su lead them to suppress the bandits, with Shen Yu assisting from the side.

Shen Yu quickly assigned different responsibilities to everyone except the children and decided to launch a night raid on Weixie Mountain.

Seeing that the adults all had things to do, Shen Zhaoning volunteered.

"Then... I'll go prepare food and weapons for everyone."

Hua Zhuyue was somewhat worried upon hearing this.

"Tuantuan, there's a lot to prepare this time. How will you manage to carry it all by yourself?"

"How about... you take me with you?"
