These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"Sir, please don't... We were just joking. You know what kind of life we ​​live. It's not poisonous snakes or wild beasts that eat people, it's this world! It's normal to vent, please spare our lives!"

Unfortunately, the fat soldiers who were eating chicken legs before they arrived had no idea how these people could eat people up in this world.

He has never eaten people, but he has eaten plenty of chickens and dogs.

He only cares about maintaining absolute stability on his own turf and not allowing any mishaps, especially at times like this.

"You bastards, trying to conspire to rebel, killing ten of you wouldn't be too much. Today, after I cut off your heads, you'd better thank your fat grandpa in the underworld for not tearing you to pieces!!" After saying that, the fat man raised the big knife in his hand and was about to strike, but at this moment, the dark and thin man who had been speaking suddenly stood up.

"Shh!"

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The fat man didn't bring down his knife; instead, his eyes widened and he took a few steps back.

Only when he saw blood flowing in front of him did he belatedly reach out and cover his throat.

He realized what had happened, but he couldn't stop the blood from spreading. He looked at the dark, thin man in front of him with resentment, his eyes suddenly changing to look at him with extreme coldness.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He staggered and collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his throat, finally losing all hope of life.

At this moment, the crowd who witnessed this scene showed signs of panic.

"Amu!! What are you doing! Do you know the crime of killing government soldiers?!"

"Wait...how did you kill him, you..."

"Run! Before we're discovered, or we'll all be implicated!"

At this moment, Amu, who appeared very calm and even somewhat cold, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, I lied to everyone during this period of time."

Ali was the first to calm down, and he looked at Amu with a puzzled expression.

"Who exactly are you...?"

Amu smiled and said, "I am one of the people from Beixuan Prefecture. Actually, when I arrived here half a year ago, my identity was already that of a contact in Huangsha City. The timing was about right, and since you all have taken good care of me these past few days, this is a gift from me to you all."

"What gift... You killed the soldiers!! Do you want us all to die together?!"

Ali stopped the man, who looked extremely angry and helpless, and said with trembling lips.

"You mean, those people..."

Amu smiled and nodded.

"They're almost here. I received the signal last night. Now, your task is simple: follow me and open the city gates, and you'll be heroes!"

The wind and sand swept across the city walls, and the sounds of battle rose from the walls.

Ali looked up and saw not only the dark-skinned, thin Amu fighting on the city wall, but also many other men with similar builds, some of whom he had met many times before, but who now looked fierce and agile.

They massacred the soldiers on the city wall and then planted a flag at the highest point of the wall.

As the sandstorm outside intensified and the clear sound of horses' hooves rang out, Ali also heard Amu's shouts from above.

"Open the gates and welcome the Garan Army into the city!!"

Ali immediately realized what was happening, and these ordinary people, who couldn't be more ordinary, were suddenly filled with indescribable excitement. They used all their strength to open the door.

Then they saw the vast army of over a hundred people, or perhaps more, but he didn't know how to count them, so he could only see the immense number of people, as if they had blocked the sandstorm behind them.

But as they got closer, Ali realized that the person at the front was a woman with a square scarf wrapped around her nose to block the wind and sand—she was a woman!

However, everyone else made way for the woman, and she entered the city without hesitation.

She appeared before everyone, but did not order burning, killing, or looting.

Instead, she waited until everyone had gathered before speaking loudly and confidently.

"All Garan soldiers, listen up! After entering the city, do not disturb their lives. You are forbidden from bullying men and women, burning, killing, and looting. Violators will be executed without mercy. Also, if anyone is willing to join us, you can register with Amu and we will arrange your enlistment quickly. Of course, if you are not willing, you are free to come and go. However, if you are going to tip off others, you should consider the consequences. Respect is mutual, so don't waste my limited kindness."

Ali felt that she was the most special woman he had ever seen, seemingly taller and stronger than any man in this yellow sand city.

But before everything was settled...

A man with a nervous expression quickly came to Bai Youwei's side and immediately reported.

"Miss Bai! There's movement at the south gate; it might be... Nalan's men!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Youwei made a decision without hesitation.

He said to He Ting beside him, "Sister He, you take a few people to reassure them, and everyone else come with me to the South Gate!"

After saying that, the men and horses passed directly through the crowd and quickly arrived at the top of the south gate. Their first action was, of course, to close the gate.

Bai Youwei soon saw that amidst the swirling yellow sand in the distance, fluttering flags appeared, and a vast army quickly came into Bai Youwei's view.

Xiao Ziyi, of course, also saw this scene and quickly made arrangements.

"Archers, prepare!"

However, Bai Youwei stopped Xiao Ziyi.

"Wait! Don't fire the arrows!"

Xiao Ziyi looked at Bai Youwei with a puzzled expression, "Miss Bai... the enemy may have ten times more men than us. If we can't wear them down before they get close, we won't have such a good opportunity if they launch a full-scale attack!"

Bai Youwei shook her head until the other side's forces slowly appeared.

At the very front was a general dressed in black armor, who looked up and smiled at the city wall.

"Having heard that you remnants of the Garan have come from afar, I, Helian Dashi, naturally cannot neglect our courtesy. Come, bring up your gifts!"

When a group of soldiers escorted a scarred old woman to the front.

Bai Youwei frowned, because she recognized the old woman.

It was none other than Tudo, who had been waiting for him for twenty years when he first arrived in Beiyou City, and was the most loyal clansman of his parents!

Chapter 148 A Thousand Miles of Heads

In the howling sandstorm, two groups of soldiers faced off on the city wall, their flags waving and the sandstorm stinging their cheeks.

Xiao Ziyi could roughly tell from Bai Youwei's expression that the old woman in Bai's hands probably had a very special relationship with this woman.

He had no idea what their relationship was, but the woman beside him, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and wrapped in a black scarf yet still exuding charm, seemed to have finally encountered a difficult test.

The so-called difficulties are never things that require a lot of effort to solve.

Often, you have to make a choice, perhaps between your ideals and the lives of your loved ones.

Sometimes having no choice is a blessing; what seems like a choice in life is the real cruelty.

Bai Youwei saw the picture in the other person's hand.

Of course, she wouldn't choose to pretend she didn't know him.

Helian Dashi laughed and said loudly.

"Miss Bai, I know you are a remnant of the Garan clan, but it doesn't matter. With your looks, as long as you surrender, I will send you to the King. I guarantee you will at least be a concubine. Isn't that better than living in constant fear and sandstorms? Moreover, if you surrender now, I will also give your people a way out. This general keeps his word!"

Helian Dashi's suggestion seemed very tempting.

However, Bai Youwei knew that sometimes the more tempting the offer, the more it proved that it was just a rhetoric to lull you into a false sense of security.

When you are truly under someone's control, who will really keep their promise? Besides... merely preserving one's life or coveting wealth and glory is not what Bai Youwei wants.

Her gaze first fell on Tudo, who was in very poor condition and seemed on the verge of death, before she spoke to Helian Dashi.

"What will you do if I don't accept this suggestion?"

Helian Dashi laughed heartily.

"That's simple. First, kill this old bastard to raise a flag. Then my men and I will storm into Huangsha City and wipe you all out! As for you, we brothers will have a taste first. Whether we send you to a brothel or tear you to pieces depends on my mood. The choice... isn't it obvious?"

Bai Youwei's gaze kept shifting between Tu Duo and Helian Dashi, as if trying to ascertain the truthfulness of their words.

Will he really take action?

of course.

This method may not be a means of blackmail at all, because those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Many people would not choose the lives of their relatives and friends at this time. His purpose is simply to kill Tudo in his hands after he refuses, or even in a very cruel way, in order to dampen his morale or make him fall into extreme anger and lose his mind.

How could I have been fooled?

But... she looked at Tudo with an indescribable bitterness.

In Beiyou City, they were practically each other's only support, and the only place where they could feel at ease when they returned was with Tuduo.

Now, it seems that he can decide her life or death. He also understands what is more important in this situation, but... how can he say such a thing?

Xiao Ziyi said in a low voice at this moment.

“Miss Bai, you guided us here. I won’t say anything grand or generous. I can only tell you that his words are not to be trusted. I believe you know that you should prioritize the greater good, and I believe the brothers will understand you. Similarly, if you need any sacrifices, the brothers will never refuse. It’s just that being soft-hearted and taking chances can easily ruin things.”

Xiao Ziyi still felt that the biggest reason why there were no women in the world who commanded troops was that they were too kind and gentle, and were prone to taking chances.

At this moment, Tudo, held by the soldier, seemed to regain some consciousness, and she glanced with difficulty at the city wall.

She couldn't speak, she just looked in that direction and shook her head.

Seeing this action, Bai Youwei felt a pang of sadness.

Because the other party had already helped her make the choice, she closed her eyes slightly and made a vow in her heart.

I will definitely tear Helian Dashi to pieces. He dared to use Tuduo as a sacrifice for the flag, so I will use his head as a wine jug.

"I……"

Just as Bai Youwei was about to speak.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, something flew by, but no one could see it clearly.

It seemed to be just an illusion created by the eyes, or perhaps a reflection of light in the desert.

But when everyone refocused their attention on the center, they discovered...

Helian Dashi's head disappeared without a trace.

His body was still on the horse, but his neck was neatly cut off, and blood did not immediately spray out.

Instead, they wait until someone finally notices.
