There were 64 captives in total. There was only one woman, who was the Third Mistress. For any of these people to be able to survive in a bandit village, they definitely weren’t righteous and moral people.

Zhao Fu thought for a moment and said, “Wang Ergou, come over here. Tell me who has committed the most evils or was a leader in the Wild Wolf Village.”

Wang Ergou shakily went over to Zhao Fu with a pale face. The Wild Wolf Village’s people furiously glared at him because they knew that he was a traitor.

However, even though they were furious, they did not dare to openly express it. After all, their lives were currently in Wang Ergou’s hands. If he claimed that someone had been a leader or had committed great evils, he or she would definitely die. Wang Ergou also felt this heavy burden, and he did not dare to look into anyone’s eyes.

What surprised Zhao Fu was that Wang Ergou suddenly knelt to the ground and begged, “Sir! The First Master was the leader and committed the most evils, but he’s been killed, and the Second Master was also poisoned to death. Please spare their lives; I’ll even kowtow to you.” After saying this, Wang Ergou heavily kowtowed a few times before raising his head and looking at Zhao Fu with a pleading expression.

Zhao Fu fell deep into thought. He knew that the loyalty of these bandits would be an issue, so he had wanted to kill some of the leaders before handing them to Bai Qi to be properly disciplined and trained. Now that Wang Ergou was pleading for their lives, Zhao Fu turned to look at the Wild Wolf Village’s people.

Finally, he said, “Are you willing to offer your loyalty to us?”

Hearing this, a look of surprise and joy appeared on the bandits’ faces, and they immediately half-knelt and said in unison, “We are willing to serve sir to the death!”

However, there was one person who did not kneel down, and the person instead stood there with a look of hesitation – it was the Third Mistress.

The Third Mistress was quite beautiful, but Zhao Fu was not that interested in those sorts of things. Zhao Fu hadn’t wanted to spare any of the leaders originally, and seeing this, he waved his hand, saying softly, “Kill her. Bai Qi, I’ll leave the rest of these people to you. Make sure you train them well!” After saying this, Zhao Fu prepared to take his people back to the Great Qin Village.

A few soldiers immediately obeyed and went to grab the Third Mistress in order to behead her.

Seeing this, the Third Mistress’s face paled, and she hurriedly cried out, “I’m willing to submit to you, but you have to promise not to touch my body!”

“Eh? Who wants her body?”

Zhao Fu stopped, a look of surprise on his face. However, he didn’t want to explain anything – after all, for this woman to become the Third Mistress, she definitely wasn’t ordinary. It was best to get rid of her, so he once again waved his hand, signaling for her to be killed.

“Wait! I’ll give you my first time, but you have to promise to leave me alone afterwards!” The Third Mistress called out as she bit her lip and came to a decision.

“First time?”

Zhao Fu was speechless. Did she really think that he was that sort of person? He once again waved his hand, signaling for her to be quickly killed.

10 or so soldiers holding Iron Wood Sabers obeyed and surrounded the Third Mistress, preparing to slash her to death.

The Wild Wolf Village’s people quickly tried to persuade her, “Third Mistress, it would be best if you submitted to sir. This sir has an extraordinary bearing, and he will accomplish great things in the future!”
