So I'm a sheep.

"Hey, we're really destined to meet."

Stroking the horse's mane, Sasha said earnestly, "Don't worry, from now on, if I have a bite to eat, you'll have a bite of beans too!"

"Neigh, neigh—"

"Hey, run more steadily, more steadily!"

..............................................

The lair of the Forty Thieves was not in the mountains or the forests, but in a village.

At first, Sasha thought that everyone in the village was a relative of the Forty Thieves, but after asking the third sister, who was also a woman, she found out that things were not as she thought at all.

After several days of highway robbery, the bandits were quite well-off.

With handfuls of silver coins thrown out, the villagers, who had never seen much of the world, immediately succumbed.

Even knowing they were a gang of robbers and that the money was ill-gotten, they still treated them as guests with great hospitality.

"Of course, it's not just because of the silver coins; the boss also set some rules."

"No one is allowed to offend the villagers here, or they will be killed!"

The third brother said with a smile, "In the past, the ninth brother handled the hunting and killing, but from now on, you'll have to take care of it."

Sasha nodded silently, then said, "But I need to heal my injuries first, and you need to give me a sword."

"certainly"

The twelfth prince rode up to the girl's side and said, "Once you've recovered from your injuries, we'll have another match!"

"kindness"

Seeing that Sasha was in low spirits, the twelfth brother shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Volume 1: Chapter 630 The Executioner

It's impossible to divide a small village into forty empty houses.

Sasha was assigned to the third brother's room, where the only two women in the bandits' den lived together, which kept them company.

"Sit still, extend your right hand."

The girl sat on the bed and obediently stretched out her swollen right hand to the third brother.

"Bear with it."

With a snap, the third brother set Sasha's bones.

The girl's lips trembled with pain, but this wasn't the end of it!

"I'll straighten your index finger too, on your left hand."

Another snap, and Sasha burst into tears.

"You're not afraid of death, yet you're crying over such a little pain?" The third brother looked quite surprised.

"That's two different things!"

"Besides, I'm also afraid of dying."

"Are you really not afraid of death? Why would I compromise with the boss?"

Sasha's straightforwardness earned her some favor from the third sister. As she used an old piece of clothing dampened with water to clean the bloodstains from the girl's face, she said, "There are some things I need to tell you in advance."

"Oh"

"You may have noticed that the first and second leaders don't get along."

"I'm definitely on the leader's side!"

The third brother smiled and said, "He's quite the clever little devil, that's good."

"Enough of everything else, just follow the boss wholeheartedly, and we won't treat you unfairly!"

"Let me ask you a question, how many brothers are on the leader's side?" Sasha asked quickly.

"Including you, there are fourteen."

"..."

"Just like you thought, you can call the big boss 'boss' from now on."

Okay, so "Lao Ji" is a unique title for members of the big boss faction.

but......

"Wasn't the second-in-command originally the second-in-command?"

Sasha asked in bewilderment, "I thought the eldest brother was the head of the household, and the second brother was the second-in-command. That's how it's usually arranged."

"The Forty Thieves was formed by the merger of two groups."

The third brother smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll bring you the herbs."

"Thank you"

"We're all family here, no need to be so polite."

'For a female bandit, she speaks too politely.'

Teacher Aman once said that female bandits are all rude women who speak lewdly and curse.

This third brother, no, I should say that everyone who follows the leader is very strange!

..........................................

"Master, it's been two days, and no one has returned."

Inside the Earl's mansion, Pluto reported to Lord Bambe.

"Didn't you say there was a pretty skilled female swordsman in this team, and that she should be able to bring back some news?"

Seeing that the Earl was slightly displeased, Pluto respectfully said, "My lord, whether that female swordswoman comes back or not, she can still play a role."

He returned to help the Earl's mansion understand the approximate strength levels of the Forty Thieves, but he couldn't return...

They actually revealed more!

Count Bambe was taken aback, then stroked his chin and said, "You mean, that gang of thieves is not simple?"

"It's definitely not simple. Eight skilled fighters disappeared without a sound, including the female swordsman that I had high hopes for."

"My lord, in my opinion, we should dispatch the cavalry immediately."

Without a second thought, Count Bambe immediately rejected the proposal.

"No!"

"I am just a Earl of Taiping. What's so special about me having a cavalry unit under my command?"

"If His Majesty finds out, he'll think I'm harboring malicious intentions!"

Within the Kingdom of Carlos, most feudal nobles, apart from keeping a few skilled fighters to maintain order, have at most a personal guard of about a hundred people.

There are plenty of militiamen available at any time, but they are useless.

In this situation, how could a Count of Bambe have a cavalry unit?

Too conspicuous, too attention-grabbing, that's not good!

"You continue hiring."

Count Bambe said coldly, "It's only a few hundred silver coins each time, it doesn't matter."

"Even if each group of people only manages to take down one bandit, that's fine. If we do this a few times, they'll be the first ones to give up."

"Yes!"

Since his master had already made up his mind, Pluto could only quickly obey the order, despite his reluctance.

'Sigh, you guys are just unlucky.'

........................................

After Sasha recovered from her injuries, Lao Jiu immediately approached her.

"As an executioner, it's not enough to just be good with a sword; you also need to be proficient in tracking and horsemanship."

Old Nine said enviously, "Especially since you have a fine horse willing to follow you, you should learn horsemanship even more."

"I named it soybean."

"..."

Don't expect Sasha to come up with any unique names; she's completely illiterate and can't even write her own name!

"Isn't that pretty down-to-earth?"

The third brother laughed and said, "Let's get started. After you finish teaching her horsemanship, it'll be my turn."

"you......"

Sasha stared blankly at the two of them. All the other bandits had left, leaving only the two of them behind.

Unexpectedly, they all stayed behind to pass on their skills.

"The leader's orders," Old Nine said calmly.

"I only agreed because I liked the look of you!"

The third brother said with a smile, "When you learn from me later, put down your sword. I will teach you advanced fist and foot techniques as well as the secrets to generating power."

Equestrianism, martial arts, and techniques for generating power?

Sasha felt dizzy and disoriented, as if she were dreaming.

She went into a den of thieves, so why is she being treated like this?

There must be something fishy going on!

But no matter what's fishy about it, if there are benefits right in front of you, you have to take them!

"Ninth Brother, let's begin."

"Get on the horse first"
