The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

The villages where some people were still living had almost returned to normal life. Amid cheers and praises, Jiang Xiubai led his soldiers back to the barracks.

Two guards followed him on horseback, muttering to each other.

"Have you noticed that the deputy general has become more and more taciturn these days?"

"Yes, maybe it was because of the miserable condition of the villagers."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the woods ahead.

Jiang Xiubai pulled the reins and raised his hand to signal to stop.

Jiang Xiubai rode his horse into the woods, and his two guards quickly followed.

When I got closer, I saw a group of bandits robbing a group of wealthy businessmen, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

"The moves of these bandits are so familiar." exclaimed a guard.

"Isn't this the boxing style of our Wei Family Army? Am I dazzled?"

Seeing that the rich businessman's wife and daughter were about to die at the hands of the bandits, Jiang Xiubai raised the bow and arrow in his hand and saved the mother and daughter at the critical moment.

The rich lady had accepted her fate, but she didn't expect the bandit to suddenly be shot and fall to the ground. She turned her head suddenly and saw a man with an imposing manner coming out of the woods.

Jiang Xiubai and his two companions flew over and fought with the bandits. Soon the situation was reversed and the rest of the bandits were killed, leaving only the four bandit leaders who knew the Wei family army's moves.

"Kneel down!" The two guards kicked the four bandits to the ground.

The wealthy businessman and his family hurried forward to express their gratitude.

"Thank you three young men for your help. I am very grateful. May I ask your names? In the future..."

Jiang Xiubai raised his hand: "No need, you can go now."

The rich businessman frowned, obviously he had never been treated so rudely before, but since the other party had just rescued them, he had no choice but to smile again.

"My name is Tang Yuan."

He thought that if he gave his name, the other party would be more polite, but Jiang Xiubai didn't have any extra expression and looked at the two guards: "Take them with you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Young Master!" the rich merchant's daughter called out anxiously, but the man left without even looking back.

The wealthy merchant's wife sighed and said, "Pack up and go."

After walking out of the woods, Jiang Xiubai turned around and kicked the bandit on the leg.

Several bandits fell to the ground with a wail.

"Tell me! Who are you?"

Looking at Jiang Xiubai's clothes, the four of them trembled like sieves.

"Young man, spare our lives! We are just asking for food!"

"Are you deserters?"

"No! We have nothing to do with the Wei family army!" one of the bandits denied hastily.

A guard kicked him on the back: "Behave yourself! If you are not a deserter of the Wei Family Army, why do you know the Wei Family Army's moves!"

"I, we learned it secretly!"

Jiang Xiubai drew out his sword and cut off one of the bandit's arms.

"Ah!!" The bandit rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.

Jiang Xiubai put his sword on his neck: "Speak!"

“I really stole…”

Before he could finish his words, his head moved away.

Then the bloody sword was placed on the neck of the second bandit: "Speak!"

"I I I..."

Jiang Xiu didn't even blink, and cut the second bandit's head and body apart in an instant like chopping a carrot, and blood splattered all over the bandits next to him.

"Ah!!" The other two bandits screamed in fear and lost control of their limbs.

Jiang Xiubai's sword was placed between the bandits in the chain: "Speak!"

"I said it, I said it!"

"I also said, don't kill me!"

The two bandits rushed to speak, fearing that if they hesitated for a moment, their heads would be chopped off.

"We are indeed deserters from the Wei family army!"

"Why are you running away?"

"More than ten years ago, we followed General Wei to Weizhou, joined forces with the Northern Qi people, and massacred several villages."

The two guards behind Jiang Xiubai widened their eyes, "How dare you talk nonsense!"

"We dare not lie! General Wei often teamed up with the Northern Qi people for military merit. That night, we slaughtered them all night long. We thought General Wei regarded us as his confidants, but we didn't expect that the soldiers who participated in that night disappeared and died one after another."

"Yes, yes, yes. We realized something was wrong, so we made a plan and escaped. We have been hiding our identities ever since..."

"Everything we said is true. There is absolutely no lie!"

The two guards were so shocked that they didn't know what to say. They knew such a big secret. If General Wei knew it, their lives would be in danger.

"Deputy, deputy general..."

Jiang Xiubai looked at the two of them and said, "If you don't want to die, just pretend you haven't heard of this. Send these two people to this place. Maybe this is our amulet." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the two of them.

The two guards nodded blankly.

"Don't think too much. This is also to save our lives." Jiang Xiubai said.

"You saved our lives. We will do whatever you say." The two guards looked at Jiang Xiubai sincerely.

"Go."

"Yes."

Two guards stepped forward, took the two bandits away.

As soon as Jiang Xiubai returned to the military camp, Wei Tiankuang wanted to see him.

Standing outside Wei Tiankuang's study, Jiang Xiubai clenched his fists and slowly loosened them after a while.

He entered the study as usual and bowed respectfully to Wei Tiankuang who was standing behind the desk.

"General, fortunately you have lived up to your command."

Wei Tiankuang nodded, and the bearded man beside him snorted coldly.

"Shouldn't you explain why those two guards I sent out haven't come back yet?"

"Didn't you receive the news that several leaders of Juque suddenly rose up in resistance, killed many soldiers, and finally several people fell off the cliff together." Jiang Xiubai said calmly.

The bearded man sneered, "I told you to kill him right there, but you insisted on lingchi. It's easy to cause trouble if you don't find the person alive or the body dead."

"The cliff is so high, how could it cause any harm?" Wang Man said on behalf of Jiang Xiubai.

Wei Tiankuang raised his hand to interrupt the quarrel: "Okay, let's stop here. The Fifth Prince will be here in the next two days, so let everyone below be more restrained."

Someone asked in confusion: "Isn't the Fifth Prince one of our own?"

Someone rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are really strong in body but simple-minded."

“Be warm and polite to His Highness the Fifth Prince, and be on guard and vigilant. Do you understand?” Wei Tiankuang looked around and spoke slowly.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's all get down."

"I will retire at the end."

Everyone stood up and walked out, and Jiang Xiubai was about to turn around and leave.

"Xiu Bai." Wei Tiankuang called him.

Jiang Xiubai looked at him and said, "General, do you have any other instructions?"

"I never expected the massacre of the Juque Village. Does it remind you of Weizhou more than ten years ago?"

Jiang Xiubai clenched his fists in forbearance.

After a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "It is the people of Juque who are too cruel and crazy. This is not the general's fault."

"Go back and rest, don't think too much."

Jiang Xiubai looked at Wei Tiankuang. It was this hypocritical concern that made him regard the thief as his father for so many years!

He forced himself to lower his head, fearing that he would not be able to hide the hatred in his eyes.

"Xiu Bai takes his leave."
