CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: IF YOU WANT MY LIFE, JUST SAY SO [BONUS CHAPTER]

After everything was arranged on this side, Pei Shu’er went back to prepare the dinner for the night, this time also adding drugs.

The mountain bandits ate happily.

The banquet was held in the main hall, celebrating the great victory of the mountain stronghold while recruiting fifty criminals.

Pei Shu’er saw the four of Zhang Chao among these criminals.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Isn’t this like giving a pillow to someone who is sleepy?

These four are all experts, and importantly, they are counting on me to cure them.

Moreover, looking at the four, it doesn’t seem like they truly want to join this stronghold.

Meanwhile, at the banquet, Ling Niang personally made a large pot of rice dumplings for everyone.

Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but sit up straighter, knowing that Ling Niang had drugged them.

She was a bit worried that no one would eat.

Seeing Ling Niang personally cooking, the Big Master was somewhat pleased.

For five years, Ling Niang had cooked for him for the first time.

The Second Master laughed, "Beauty admires a hero, indeed, our Big Master was impressive today."

Ling Niang took the opportunity to lean on the Big Master’s chest, which made him feel both happy and sweet, hugging Ling Niang tightly.

Then, Ling Niang picked up a spoon, scooped a dumpling, and brought it to the Big Master’s mouth.

The Big Master opened his mouth and ate it.

The Third Master watched coldly without saying a word.

Ling Niang’s face was slightly red, whispering in a bashful manner in the Big Master’s ear, "So many dumplings... too bad I’m not a good cook, I’m afraid everyone won’t like them."

The Big Master, feeling Ling Niang’s initiative, was all smiles.

He looked at the big pot of dumplings, realizing that even if everyone had a bowl, it would be more than enough.

Adding to Ling Niang’s words, the Big Master felt a little heartache, the rough man immediately waved his big hand.

"Everyone, have a taste."

The Third Master finally spoke up, "Big Master, eating too many dumplings is hard to digest and can harm the body, especially at this critical juncture, everyone better not eat them."

His words were full of hints.

His expression was cold, looking at Ling Niang with obvious caution in his eyes.

How could he possibly trust Ling Niang, everyone knows Ling Niang hates Jiang Ye so much.

Ling Niang lowered her gaze, her eyes slightly red, but her lips still stubbornly curled up.

"Never mind, it’s just Ling Niang’s poor cooking, I won’t cook anymore in the future."

Withdrawing in order to advance, compromising to keep the peace, this act was perfectly executed.

As expected, the Big Master frowned.

"Ling Niang has been with me for five years, she is my wife. Third, you should also try your sister-in-law’s cooking."

The Third Master looked at the Big Master, then shook his head.

"Then you all eat first, I am not feeling well, I must take my leave."

In the end, he realized the most powerful weapon in this world is pillow talk.

He was merely the Big Master’s brother, unable to compete with Ling Niang.

Watching everyone eat the dumplings, Pei Shu’er felt delighted.

Ling Niang indeed remained calm, with no flaws throughout.

After leaving here, Pei Shu’er was called out.

"Dwarf."

Turning her head, Pei Shu’er found Zhang Chao, Ma He, and Liu Di standing together.

They stood side by side, looking at Pei Shu’er with unfriendly expressions.

For those who didn’t know, it might seem like they were here to seek revenge.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "What’s up, brothers?"

Using the dwarf’s voice.

The four showed some doubt in their eyes, but still walked over and stood in front of Pei Shu’er.

Zhang Chao said, "Pei Shu’er?"

Pei Shu’er raised her eyebrow, remaining silent.

Zhang Chao continued, "Lu Qing told us, you are Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er, he asked us to assist you."

Pei Shu’er nodded and then smiled, "You’ve just entered this stronghold, you must be monitored, the Third Master will not give up supervising you."

Ma He said, "We’ve already shaken them off."

Pei Shu’er nodded, then whispered, "Act in three days at night, use the stronghold’s granary burning as a signal."

With her words, the four nodded and then each left.

Three days later, the constables with the golden sore medicine had mostly recovered from their injuries.

After Pei Shu’er fed dinner, she unlocked their shackles.

Unlocking was very simple, Pei Shu’er only used two thin hairpins to open it.

But she did not speak out, fearing that some foolish women would prematurely reveal the plan.

Pei Shu’er had already negotiated with the government officers, they were to lead in the dungeon.

When Pei Shu’er opened the dungeon door, they would lead these people to resist.

That evening, besides giving Ling Niang medicine, Pei Shu’er also gave her some Knockout Drug, for use if the slow-acting poison wasn’t strong enough.

Not that she didn’t want to take it out before, but the amount of Knockout Drug wasn’t enough for so many people.

After a few masters ate, Pei Shu’er first went to the granary to check, storing all the rice and flour, hiding them in her own space.

Then, Pei Shu’er used straw and moldy rice to ignite a flame.

At this moment, the mountain stronghold gate was also opened by Tang Zan, as Lu Qing led trusted people inside.

Zhang Chao and the other three also reached Pei Shu’er’s side, and the five went to the dungeon gate together.

They found that the person at the dungeon gate had already collapsed into a pool of mud.

Pei Shu’er gestured to the four, they swiftly and neatly slit these people’s throats.

Throughout the process, these individuals’ eyes bore intense resentment and curses, as if wanting to drag Pei Shu’er into Hell with them.

Then, Pei Shu’er used their keys to open the dungeon door.

In the moment the door opened, the government officers led the people to rush out.

Under Pei Shu’er’s leadership, everyone killed any mountain bandit they saw, turning the stronghold into a river of blood in an instant.

In the main hall, it was chaotic as well, most experts lay fallen, only three masters remained conscious, as he never ate anything cooked by Ling Niang.

Unfortunately, he was not skilled in martial arts.

The Big Master and Second Master were poisoned too, but being well-trained, they could force some of the poison out, so the symptoms were not as severe.

The Big Master looked painfully at Ling Niang, "Ling Niang, you..."

Ling Niang curled her lips, "I’ve waited for this day for a long time, Jiang Ye, I’m going to take your life."

Then, Ling Niang took out a dagger from her sleeve and thrust it towards Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye’s eyes were bloodshot, teary eyes filled with red veins.

He laughed, laughed until tears rolled down his cheeks.

"If you wanted my life, you just had to say so, I would give it to you, no need for all this trouble, sacrificing the brothers’ lives too."

Ling Niang remained resolute, her heart as hard as stone, showing no emotion.

Her eyes cold, she stabbed the dagger into the Big Master’s abdomen.

The Big Master grunted, his gaze still gentle.

"Indeed, I owe you, but even if given a chance to redo, I would still do it."

At this moment, Pei Shu’er barged in with five people.

The Third Master’s eyes were icy cold, devoid of any emotion, with a self-mocking smile, he coughed while laughing.

"Unexpectedly, this stronghold would be destroyed by two women."

Pei Shu’er was startled, wiping her face with her hand.

She found that the foundation on her face had smudged due to sweat, and after wiping with her sleeve, her true face was revealed.

The Big Master’s eyes went cold, he had no desire to fight, picking Ling Niang up to run despite his injuries.

His martial skills were truly high, in just a moment, Pei Shu’er could no longer find them.

Now only the Second Master remained, the Third Master had disappeared at an unknown time.

The Second Master looked at the five before him, still intending to fight, but suddenly lost strength, collapsing to the ground.

Pei Shu’er stepped forward, first cutting off his heirs, causing the Second Master to howl in pain.

Saying he would make him a eunuch, then he shall be one!

Afterwards, Pei Shu’er gave Zhang Chao a look.

"Tie him up."

That map is uncertain, better to keep a card up our sleeve.
