I, Altria, only want to rule China.

Thinking of this, Leah's eyes turned cold. She had originally planned to take action against them tomorrow, but now she thought that she was too kind.

The brutality and cruelty of these noble families were much more brutal than he had imagined.

But it's also true that what they are doing is asking for their lives. No one wants to wait to be slaughtered without resisting.

The target of these assassins was very clear, they were heading straight for her current room. It seemed that the location of her room had been exposed long ago.

Leah immediately got up from the bed, and the magic power in her body was immediately integrated into a set of armor.

With a loud bang, when Leah got up from the bed, the entire wooden door shattered, and a lot of fragments flew towards Leah.

Leah held the sword in front of her to block the incoming debris.

Seeing this, several assassins in black shouted "Kill!" and several of them rushed towards Leah with swords in their hands, stabbing at Leah's vital points.

Leah looked at these assassins with murderous intent in their eyes and poured her magic power into the sword. As Leah swung forward, a magical slash sent several assassins closest to her flying away.

Chapter 24: Another Aristocratic Family

The assassins were stunned for a moment, as they had not expected that Leah's fighting power was so high that she could even emit sword energy, which required reaching the level of a congenital master to do.

Seeing this, the assassins had already considered retreating. They were just a bunch of second-rate experts, how could they possibly be a match for an innate master.

But Leah ignored all this. After launching a magic slash, she immediately rushed towards the assassins, stabbing one assassin in the heart first, and then cut the neck of another assassin with a casual flick.

In just a blink of an eye, five or six people were killed.

When the assassins saw this scene, they were frightened, looked at each other, and then retreated.

The opponent's force value is so high that it is impossible to kill him. The current situation is to save your own life!

Want to run!

Seeing that these assassins were planning to escape, Leah naturally would not let them do that. She immediately chased them and killed two of them directly.

The remaining five assassins looked at each other and immediately said, "Run away separately!"

The five assassins immediately dispersed in five directions.

Seeing this scene, Leah frowned and could only catch up with one of them and kill him directly.

At this time, she looked back at four of them, but they had already run far away, and it was too late to chase them.

At this time, the soldiers heard the noise and rushed over. When they arrived, they found corpses in black all over the ground.

"My lord, what is this!" Li Lin and Hua Mulan asked immediately after seeing this scene.

"Just a few assassins, it's a pity that some of them escaped." Leah said lightly.

"I am late, please punish me, my lord!" Li Lin said hurriedly.

"It has nothing to do with you. I didn't expect these noble families to be so bold as to send people to assassinate me." Leah shook her head.

If I were just an ordinary person, I might have been assassinated by them. Sun Ce is a good example.

"I will take people to deal with it right away. Mulan, from today on, you will stay by our lord's side and protect him at all times. There must not be any mistakes!" Li Lin said.

"Yes, General Li." Mulan nodded.

"My Lord, I will leave first. I will make those noble families pay the price!" Even if Liya didn't say anything, Li Lin could guess that it was those noble families who did it. Otherwise, who would assassinate Liya for no reason?

"It's okay if I don't have anyone to protect me. Instead, Mulan will go with you. A few assassins just ran away. I'm afraid they will harm you. Mulan can protect you by your side." Liya thought for a while and said

My own strength is almost at the top of the world today. Excluding those old monsters who have never appeared in the world, no one should be my opponent.

On the contrary, she had too few men under her command, and the death of one of them would make her feel it difficult to arrange new personnel later, so it would be better to protect them.

Mulan's martial arts skills are pretty good, at the level of a first-rate master, so she has no problem dealing with those assassins.

"I obey your command." Li Lin thought about it and did not object to it.

Soon Li Lin went to deal with the affairs of the aristocratic families, and Liya planned to go back to take a nap and deal with the affairs of the aristocratic families tomorrow.

If other people encountered this kind of thing, they would probably want to kill someone, let alone want to sleep. Only Leah dared to do that because she was strong enough.

When Li Lin led the soldiers to look for those noble families, those noble families who were quick to act had already reacted. They all closed their doors and refused to open them no matter how hard the soldiers knocked.

"Your Excellency, the Feng family's gate is locked. No matter how we shout, it won't open. Our brothers climbed up the wall, but were beaten down!" Upon seeing this, the soldiers had no choice but to come back and report to Li Lin.

Don't open it? Won't the other party think that it's okay if I don't open the door?

Li Lin sneered. These noble families not only wanted to assassinate their lord, but also wanted to resist arrest. They were really brave!

"Go find a log and break the door open!" Li Lin said directly.

"Yes!" the soldier responded immediately and went to look for logs with a few soldiers.

Li Lin didn't have to wait too long. Several soldiers came over holding a thick log. At Li Lin's signal, they knocked the door open with just a few pushes!

"What do you want to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal!" After the door was kicked open, the people from the Feng family were all staying in the courtyard. When they saw the soldiers filing in, they immediately shouted nervously.

To be honest, Li Lin really wanted to shout, "How dare you assassinate an official of the current dynasty?" But his lord was a traitor, so he really had no good excuse.

However, he was a rebel now, so he didn't need too many excuses. He just said to his men with a cold face, "Take everyone here away. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!"

Just when the soldiers were about to step forward to arrest people, several men in black immediately jumped out of the house and knocked the soldiers who were stepping forward away.

"It was you who ordered this, catch these guys for me!" Seeing these men in black, Li Lin's face turned dark and he immediately ordered his men to step forward.

"Leave it to me, General Li." Mulan stopped the soldiers. Facing a few second-rate masters, it would be difficult to take them down without sending out hundreds of soldiers, and there would be many casualties.

"Okay." Li Lin nodded. Mulan came here to deal with these assassins.

Mulan did not show any courtesy to the assassins this time and attacked with all her strength.

Seeing how powerful this girl was, the assassins did not dare to be arrogant. Four of them stepped forward and took turns to resist her.

For a while, the five men fought to a standstill.

Seeing this scene, Li Lin frowned. He didn't have time to waste with these families here. He had to take them down quickly and then force them to tell him how many families were involved this time.

A dozen second-rate masters are not something that a single aristocratic family can produce. There must be many aristocratic families involved. The more likely scenario is that one family will produce several second-rate masters.

Thinking of this, Li Lin immediately said: "Archers, step out!"

Dozens of soldiers immediately came forward, with bows and arrows aimed at the five people in the battle... No, they were people from the Feng family.

"If you still want to live, tell those people to stop." Li Lin said to the Feng family.

Seeing so many soldiers pointing their bows and arrows at them, ready to shoot them if they disagreed, the head of the Feng family sighed, knowing that they were doomed this time.

"Stop it, everyone. I was the mastermind behind this incident. It has nothing to do with my people. I am willing to take full responsibility. Please, General, let my people go."

Chapter 25 She is not a traitor at all!

Facing the pleading tone in the words of the Feng family patriarch, Li Lin just said coldly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, but my lord will not kill a good person by mistake, nor will he let a bad person go. I hope that some of your Feng family have not done anything too evil in their daily lives."

But is it possible?

If possible, the Feng family would not want to assassinate Leah. It was because they had too many dirty things on their hands and knew they could not escape Leah's purge that they took the risky move.

But since Leah has the bigger fist, she can only admit defeat if she can't beat her.

After resolving the Feng family's issue and asking the head of the Feng family about the families that were involved in the assassination, Li Lin led his men to continue the arrest.

It can be said that with so many soldiers walking back and forth at night, the civilians who were originally asleep were also awakened one by one. Looking at the soldiers outside the house, they were panicked for a while.

Seeing so many soldiers walking around outside, they were frightened and did not dare to go out. It was not until the early morning that the streets became quiet.

Looking at the four gates that were still closed and guarded by soldiers, and thinking that they had not gone to work in the fields for a whole day, the people felt a little resentful, but they did not dare to say anything.

But soon, the people's attention was attracted by the sound of gongs and drums.

"Extra, Extra! Today the rebels in the city are planning to release food from their warehouses. All the people can go to the square to collect it!"

"Extra, Extra! Today the rebels in the city are planning to release food from their warehouses. All the people can go to the square to collect it!"

"Extra, Extra! Today the rebels in the city are planning to release food from their warehouses. All the people can go to the square to collect it!"

Hearing these words, the people were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.

However, with the saying "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard", the people immediately notified their relatives and friends, and a group of people went to the square in a mighty manner.

When the people arrived at the square, they found that the high-ranking officials and aristocratic families were all standing in the square, but they did not look very decent.

However, no matter how indecent they look, these people still dress much better than ordinary people.

Just when the common people didn't know what was going on, Leah first introduced herself, and then enumerated the crimes of these people, which made the common people grit their teeth.

After all, the things that Leah said were not groundless. They were basically things that happened to ordinary people. No one had not been bullied by these people.

It can be said that from the county magistrate to the soldiers in the yamen, there is no one who is not greedy, and these are even more so for the aristocratic families. Every one of them has opened the eyes of the common people.

Leah punished each person according to the degree of their greed. In the end, it was naturally the same as in Wu'an County. Leah distributed all the food to the people, and each citizen also received a little money. It can be said that Leah's move quickly won the support of the people.

All those officials say nice things, but in fact they are just empty promises. Unlike Leah, they directly give the real things. Through this comparison, we can see who is really doing things.

Although this group of rebels came to Wuxing County, they did not steal food from the people. They also killed the officials and aristocratic families who bullied the people and obtained food from them.

These people are not rebels at all!

After doing the same thing as Wu'an County, Leah asked the people to collect saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. Anyway, she collected them according to the market price and it was not like she was not paying, so the people were still willing to do so.

Things were going on in full swing on Liya's side, but in Liangzhou, someone felt something was wrong.

You said that if information was not easily accessible in ancient times, that was indeed a common thing, but Tuoba Xiu has been leading his troops out for five days. Even if he wants to stay in Wu'an County for a while, it's fine, but the news of the successful suppression of the bandits should be passed back, right?

So after five days of not receiving any news from Wu'an County, Liangzhou could no longer sit still and immediately sent several people to Wu'an County to gather information.

The information I got was truly incredible.

Tuoba Xiu, who led his troops to Wu'an County, was captured, and even Wuxing County was taken over by the rebels.

After hearing the news, Prince Leping was shocked and could only pace back and forth in his mansion anxiously. He didn't know how to deal with this matter.

Soon, he called his staff and asked him to analyze the situation for him and whether he should report it to the Wei court.

"How do you think we should resolve this matter now? Once it's reported to the emperor, and he hears that there are rebels under my rule, the whole court will be shocked, and I will no longer be the King of Leping!" The more he spoke, the angrier the King of Leping became.

This Tuoba Xiu is such a loser. If all 5000 soldiers were to attack, the problem would be solved, but he actually imitated the ancients and fought one-on-one. Now he is in trouble!

Both the people and the horses were captured, and even 5000 soldiers surrendered. Thinking of this, King Leping wanted to kill Tuoba Xiu.

It's really a useless general who brings trouble to the whole army!

The staff could only hunch over and listen to Prince Leping's scolding. When Prince Leping had almost finished scolding, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, things are not that bad."

"Isn't it that bad? Can you tell me why it's not that bad?" Upon hearing this, Prince Leping took a deep breath and looked at his staff.

"As you said, Your Highness, the reason for sending troops to suppress the bandits this time was General Tuoba Xiu's fault, and had nothing to do with other soldiers. In fact, although Wuxing County and Wu'an County are now controlled by the rebels, those Wu'an County and Wuxing County themselves do not have many populations, and those rebels do not have many soldiers either."

"Although there are still 5000 soldiers who originally belonged to our Liangzhou. But as long as we use reason and emotion to persuade them, we may be able to take advantage of the situation to persuade them to rebel and give the rebels a head-on blow!"

"What we need to do now is to dispatch the army of Liangzhou before those rebels gain a firm foothold. We can still win the battle in one battle! Otherwise, if we wait too long, it will be troublesome."

Prince Leping thought about it and felt that what his staff said was indeed correct, so he asked again: "But once the Liangzhou army is dispatched, it is impossible for the court to be unaware of such a big event. What do you think should be done about this matter?"

"This is easy. We just need to tell the truth. It's just a small rebel anyway. We can handle it ourselves. As long as the prince gives some gold, silver and jewelry to those people above, this matter will only take a few words."

Upon hearing this, Prince Leping's expression softened a lot.

As long as the imperial court does not react too strongly and send a large army, it will not be a big problem. Once the army arrives, he, the Prince of Leping, may end up being escorted back to the capital.

Chapter 26 Liangzhou's Response

"If that's the case, then make arrangements quickly to put down this gang of rebels before the imperial court sends out troops. I will also report this matter to the imperial court and explain it clearly so that the people above don't have to worry."

"Yes, Your Highness." The aide bowed quickly and went down.

After the staff went down, they immediately called the general who was leading the troops and arranged the arrangements for the expedition to suppress the bandits.

"Yes, I will not fail in this mission and will bring back the heads of the rebels!" The leading general this time is Tuoba Feng, the brother-in-law of King Leping.

This guy's strength is pretty good, at least he is as strong as a first-rate master, and his staff are very confident in him.

Although the rebels have some momentum, they only have a few people. They are different from Gai Wu a few years ago. That guy has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. That is the real threat.

This time all the troops of Liangzhou are mobilized. Even if the rebels really have tens of thousands of troops, they will be wiped out. These are the elite soldiers of Liangzhou, not the kind of mountain peasants holding wooden rakes and sticks.

That kind of thing is also called a soldier? It's just hilarious!
