Chapter 220 Shen Shuli Argues for the Spoils of War with Reason
Xue Bufan knew nothing about this operation.
He was certain that this was definitely not a task assigned by his superiors.
Fortunately, someone spotted the danger in advance and came to warn them, otherwise most of the yamen runners would have been killed!
Xue Bufan immediately detected the location of the wolf pack and alerted everyone.
He agreed to lead the constables to intercept the wolf pack.
Many people in the exile group also knew some martial arts, in order to prevent the exiled prisoners from suffering large losses again.
He had the constables secretly remove all the shackles from everyone's feet beforehand.
Young and able-bodied men were made to use iron chains as weapons to protect women, the elderly, and children in the middle.
Even if the prisoners are unwilling, they have no choice but to do it!
Otherwise, they will only have one fate: to wait to be devoured by the wolves!
soon.
The exiled men then engaged in a fierce battle with the wolf pack.
The wolf pack all left.
The flute music continued to play rhythmically without shifting its position.
It's clear that the man was unaware that someone was already watching him.
Xuan Guang was already very close to that person.
Shen Shuli also found a sniping position.
"Pfft~"
A soft gunshot rang out.
Unfortunately, the person suddenly moved, and the bullet didn't hit his head directly.
It only pierced his ear!
"what!"
The assassin's flute music stopped abruptly, and the flute rolled to the ground.
Xuan Guang didn't know what Miss Shen used to strike the beast, but unfortunately, it wasn't a direct hit.
He no longer hid and immediately launched a fierce attack on the man.
Shen Shuli was no longer able to aim and finish off her opponent.
Seeing that Xuan Guang was firmly in the lead, she stopped paying attention to this side and directly packed her things to go down the mountain to provide support.
After the wolf pack lost control, they were momentarily confused.
But they quickly regained their senses and, upon seeing that they were in front of humans, launched another frenzied attack.
The yamen runners who could act as escorts were all quite capable.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a large pack of wolves, and they were understandably a little flustered.
But they quickly rallied and fought back against the wolves.
This is a fight to the death; they must give it their all to survive!
The four Silver Armor Guards were very strong, only slightly weaker than Xue Bufan, and they killed the most wolves.
They worked in pairs, each protecting the Xie family and the Mu family respectively.
The three young mistresses of the Xie family, all of whom were military generals, and their four young sons were also fighting hard to kill wolves.
Mu Hongqi, Mu Yansheng, and Mu Wanjun from the Mu family also participated in the battle.
The exiled prisoners were also fighting the wolves with all their might.
However, the only weapon the exiled prisoners had was iron chains, and most of them were not very good at using them.
By randomly attacking the wolf pack, they also injure themselves, employing a tactic that results in the loss of eight hundred of their own while killing a thousand enemies.
Overall, however, humans still have the advantage.
After Shen Shuli joined, she immediately used the Fire Cloud Technique to fight the wolf pack.
really.
Having internal strength is different from ordinary martial arts; it makes it more lethal and easier to fight enemies.
However, its only drawback is that it depletes its internal energy very quickly.
The battle ended quickly.
In the end, only a dozen or so wolves fled in disarray.
Xue Bufan immediately took stock of the casualties.
The constables put in a lot of effort this time, and most of them were injured, but none of the injuries were fatal.
The Xie and Mu families were also well protected.
The situation is most serious for those who have been exiled.
Fortunately, no deaths occurred this time.
If Shen Shuli hadn't had someone notify the yamen runners in advance to prepare, most people would probably have been taken away by the wolves in their sleep.
Fortunately, Shen Shuli and Xuan Guang managed to control and kill the assassin in advance.
Otherwise, the fighting power of the controlled, berserk wolf pack would definitely double, and the losses to the exile team would be even more severe than they are now.
After working for most of the hour, the group finally cleared the wolf carcasses to one side.
Mu Wanjun was the busiest.
Of all these people, only she knows medicine.
All the wounded were lining up to be treated by her.
Mu Wanjun didn't refuse. Anyway, it wouldn't be free, and it would make them owe her a lot of favors.
There were too many wounded; she couldn't handle it all by herself.
Mu Wanjun's mother and second aunt also quickly stepped forward to help.
Xue Bufan glanced at Shen Shuli, his eyes showing gratitude, but not much.
In his heart.
The reason this Su family girl sent someone to inform them was simply for the sake of her friend, the princess.
They might even use them as a weapon.
"Does Miss Shen have some time?" Xue Bufan took the initiative to walk up to Shen Shuli and speak.
Shen Shuli was somewhat surprised. She raised an eyebrow, looked at him, and asked, "What is it?"
"Thank you very much for your help this time, Miss Shen. Here's half of these wolves for you as a reward, how about it?"
"Not good enough. I think at least 70% is reasonable, since we've already taken care of the people controlling the wolf pack." Shen Shuli wasn't satisfied and directly raised the price.
Xue Bufan's knuckles tapped three times on the hilt of the knife. In the shadow of the piled wolf corpses, his cold laugh was like ice: "Miss Shen has quite the appetite."
Shen Shuli was examining a wolf with a knife when she heard this, and the tip of her knife paused slightly.
"Lord Xue should be glad I have a good appetite—if you can't even bear to part with this little bit of wolf meat, what will you do next time you encounter other dangers..."
She suddenly spun around, the bloodstained blade stopping just three inches from Xue Bufan's throat: "But perhaps no one has come to report."
The scabbard of Xuan Guang silently pressed against Xue Bufan's lower back.
During the stalemate, wolf blood dripped from the gaps in the carriage floor, forming a dark red puddle around Xue Bufan's official boots.
In the distance, Mu Wanjun's silver needles were piercing the festering wound of a yamen runner, and a scream tore through the night.
"Sixty percent." Xue Bufan's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked over the blade.
Shen Shuli sheathed her sword, a drop of blood splattering across his tense jaw: "It would have been better if you had just ended it this quickly."
She suddenly leaned forward and stared straight at him: "Remember to pay the consultation fee to the princess."
Xue Bufan's eyelids twitched; he was angry.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need your words!" before striding away.
Seeing that she had already angered him, Shen Shuli decided not to push her luck any further.
Quickly send Xuan Guang back first to get people to bring in vehicles to transport the supplies.
Shen Shuli unceremoniously picked out all the wolves whose fur was still relatively intact.
Xue Bufan, who had been standing to the side watching intently, darkened his eyes and almost couldn't contain his anger.
"Sir, if you don't want your wolf pelts, wolf meat, wolf bones, wolf teeth, etc., you can consider selling them to me. I'll buy them at a high price."
Xue Bufan ignored her and quickly ordered the constables to take the remaining wolves away and deal with them.
Shen Shuli had a decent haul tonight, bringing back three cartloads of wolves.
Besides.
After killing the assassin, Xuan Guang also found a secret technique for controlling beasts on his body.
They also picked up the man's flute and handed it over to Shen Shuli.
"Aren't these useful to you Silver Armor Guards?" Shen Shuli asked doubtfully.
“It’s useful, but these things should belong to you, Miss Shen. We won’t touch them,” Xuan Guang answered honestly.
Shen Shuli thought he was cute with a touch of silliness, which was quite nice.
"Take this back and make a few copies so you can study it carefully. Maybe someone has a talent for this."
Shen Shuli generously shared it.
