"Our village is really prosperous. Even people from the royal family came to join in the fun." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Then why did he find this place?" Ma Linling couldn't help but ask.
"Salt!" Li Qian said.
"Salt?" Ma Lingling was startled again.
"Someone has already sent the salt I made to the capital, so the royal family came. However, I really didn't expect this. I thought that old man would come forward, but unexpectedly, he alerted the royal family. People." Li Qian said.
"Aren't you ashamed?" Ma Linling looked confused.
"He is an old man with great status, but he hangs out with a courtesan all day long, so I call him Lao Bu Sha." Li Qian said, "This Lao Bu Sha has been following me from Fucheng just because he wants me to replace him." The imperial court obeys its orders.”
"Oh." Ma Linling just said softly, without specifically asking who the old man was.
That's not what she wanted to care about anyway.
But now that their village has been targeted by the court, she is a little confused about what to do in the future.
"Mr. Li, do we really want to cooperate with the court?"
Li Qian sighed, "What strength do we have to fight against the imperial court? The imperial court is no better than those bandits. We can still fight against the bandits, but to really face the imperial army, even if we have crossbows, black knives, and catapults Even heavy crossbows can’t resist it.”
Ma Lingling was a little silent.
Indeed, they can fight the bandits, but how can they withstand the imperial court's thousands of troops?
"Mr. Li, are you willing?" Then she couldn't help but ask.
"Whether you are willing to do so or not, we are just ordinary people, the lowest level of the people, so don't think so much." Li Qian said.
"If Mr. Li wants to rebel against the imperial court, I will rebel with you!" Ma Linling said, with a firm look in her eyes. It seemed that she would stand by Li Qian'an no matter what he wanted to do.
Li Qian glanced at Ma Linling in surprise, then shook her head, signaling her not to say such words again.
After all, there are outsiders in the village now, and they are also members of the royal family.
Ma Lingling also realized that she really didn't pay attention when she spoke.
But her attitude was firm.
As long as Li Qian wants to do anything, she will support him unconditionally.
Black Wolf has returned to the village at some point.
Standing in the distance, he grinned at Li Qian.
After Li Qian separated from Ma Lingling, she came to him.
"Master Li, all the dozens of villages, large and small, have been plundered. I have transported all the money and grain to Heifeng Ridge." Hei Lang reported.
Li Qian nodded and patted Hei Lang on the shoulder, "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
"Master Li, what's the situation in the village now? Why are there officers and soldiers everywhere outside?" Hei Lang couldn't help but ask.
"Without these officers and soldiers, do you think we could have eliminated so many bandits with just our few people?" Li Qian said.
"So, Master Li is using another trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Hei Lang said with a bright look in his eyes.
"What I borrowed is a knife, but at the same time, it's also trouble." Li Qian shook his head.
"Trouble? What trouble?" Hei Lang was stunned.
Then he also thought of something, "Master Li, there's nothing we can do about it. You just said that the manpower we have is not enough."
"So, we are still too weak. Well, you don't have to worry about other things. Just feel free to develop in Black Wind Ridge with me."
