Seeing these bandits start to run away, Li Xin sent out a small team to chase them in order to make the road easier.

But this group of bandits came and went freely in this hilly terrain, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After returning with the lost team, Li Xin continued on his way.

In this ambush, although several soldiers in the army were injured, dozens of bandits were killed or injured.

Li Xin thought that after this group of bandits had learned their lesson, they would not dare to come again in the future.

Unexpectedly, before walking 500 meters, the group of bandits appeared again.

And this time they were very thieves, only shooting arrows and throwing some stones in the distance, and did not dare to approach the troops again.

Seeing this, Li Xin personally led the soldiers to take the initiative to attack to exterminate these bandits.

But when they took the initiative to attack, the bandits started to retreat cleverly.

Using their tunnels in the hills, they have escaped from the team's pursuit by using their already familiar routes.

In this way, Li Xin and his troops were very passive.

They brought fewer people this time, and the main force was only three. It was a headache to face such a cunning bandit.

This group of bandits relied on their familiarity with the terrain and the traps they set up to injure the soldiers of the army one after another.

Originally, they only needed half a day to reach Lintian City.

But it was delayed by this group of bandits for a day, and these bandits would appear from time to time, even at night, they would come out to harass the troops, so the situation of the soldiers in the team was very bad.

It was not until the early morning of this day that they walked out of the hilly area and rushed to Lintian City without stopping.

Before entering Lintian City, he discovered a large area of ​​ruins in the city.

For a moment, Li Xin felt very guilty.

Although the condition of the soldiers in the army had not recovered, he led the soldiers to the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Being teased by a group of thieves, Li Xin, as the leader of the army this time, took the main responsibility, so he didn't want to explain anything before.

It was because he was afraid that Su Feng would mistakenly think that he was making excuses for himself and thus increase the punishment, so he didn't say this for a long time.

"I also ask Young Master Su Feng to punish me. All this is caused by my unfavorable decision-making, but please forgive those soldiers!"

After telling Su Feng about these experiences one by one, Li Xin knelt on the ground and begged Su Feng to punish him very respectfully.

"Ding! The god-level selection system is running and starting, and the selection is being issued, and the host is asked to make a choice:

Option [-]: Ignore these things, punish Li Xin and all his troops, and get a reward: [-] gold coins!
Option 50: Punish Li Xin and all members of his army to participate in the reconstruction of Lintian City to make meritorious deeds and get a reward: [-] gold coins!
Option [-]: Don’t make any punishment, just pretend nothing happened, and get a reward: [-] tons of food! "

"Please host to make a choice within 30 seconds!"

Just when Su Feng was thinking about how to deal with this, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

This time, among the three options in the system, the lowest reward is [-] yuan, which is quite generous.

It just so happens that Lintian City urgently needs resources and gold coins to recover, but the three options have different punishments for Li Xin and the others.

For this battle in Lintian City, although Li Xin's team failed to arrive in time, there were some special reasons. Su Feng also heard a little about the bandits in the hills not far from Lintian City.

These bandits often haunt the hills and forests near Lintian City.

Su Tianzong used to be a headache for foreign businessmen who often robbed and went to Lintian City to do business.

For this reason, Su Tianzong personally led the guards and generals of Lintian City to exterminate bandits infested areas.

But these bandits are very difficult to deal with, as long as they find that they can't be beaten, they will run away quickly, and they can't stop them even if they want to.

So Li Xin and the others couldn't completely blame this group of bandits when they encountered them.

Combining the current situation, Su Feng glanced at the third option, and decisively chose the second option, and put the 50 gold coins rewarded by the system into the ring.

Now there is enough food in Lintian City, and the battle took place inside the city, and the rice fields planted by the common people are outside the city, so the food is not affected too much, the important thing is the gold coins.

A large number of buildings in Lintian City were destroyed, and the city walls were also damaged, requiring a lot of gold coins to buy materials to repair.

Even though there are a lot of gold coins in the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion, there are too many things that need to be repaired at once.

All the gold coins in the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion cannot be used for repairs.

The second option was handled very well, and it also rewarded 50 gold coins, which just made up for the expenditure needed for repairs.

"You support the unfavorable thing, you should indeed be punished."

Su Feng said to Li Xin who bowed his head and knelt down.

"I, Li Xin, allow Su Feng to be punished by the young city master."

"only."

"It's just my lord, can you only punish me and let the soldiers of the army go?"

"It's all because of me, and I am willing to take all the responsibilities!"

Hearing Su Feng's words, Li Xin kowtowed to Su Feng as if accepting his fate.

But he didn't want the soldiers I led to be punished as well. Li Xin kept taking the blame on himself, just wanting Su Feng to punish him alone.

Nearly a hundred soldiers and Li Xin are regarded as brothers, and they all have their own families.

Li Xin only wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the soldiers he led.

"Okay, don't rush to seek death, I haven't said what the punishment is yet."

Seeing that Li Xin has been taking the blame on himself and asking Su Feng to let his soldiers go, Su Feng is also a little helpless.

Hearing this, Li Xin slightly raised his head and glanced at Su Feng.

Su Feng's face didn't seem ugly, and he didn't feel like a person who didn't speak any reason. Li Xin's hanging heart also relaxed a little.

"I can understand your situation this time, so you will not be sentenced to death."

"but."

"The death penalty is exempt, but the living crime cannot escape."

"In these days, I want people from your team to help me restore the prosperity of Lintian City."

Su Feng remained expressionless, and slowly expressed his request to Li Xin.

Now the gold coins needed to restore Lintian City are almost enough, but the manpower is probably a little short.

The second option of the system just gave Su Feng a way to deal with them.

Asking Li Xin and his team to help repair Lintian City just made up for the shortage of manpower. This time, the second option of the system perfectly solved two problems.

"Xie Sufeng, Young City Lord!"

Hearing Su Feng's treatment, Li Xin's eyes turned red, and he was very grateful to Su Feng for not punishing them with the regulations made by the Lord of the Meteorite Kingdom.

Immediately, without saying a word, Li Xin walked out of the hall and prepared to carry out Su Feng's order.
