873 Wait for me to come back

They provided ample options and signed a contract, but after signing, employees had to work for thirty years before they could choose to leave, or they could redeem themselves by making significant contributions.

There are also plenty of rewards: basic weapons, sword techniques, movement skills, and fundamental internal cultivation methods. Other items can only be obtained through your own merit points and silver.

There's money for missions, but you can't embezzle it or be tempted to take it. In the first few missions, some people were tempted to take it secretly, thinking no one knew. There were also people who secretly split the money with their gangs. But before long, these people disappeared without a trace.

A fellow villager who knew him happened to return to the village, but he never heard from him again, as if he had vanished into thin air.

The group of ten rushed into the Silver Gang's territory. The ground was littered with severed heads and corpses, as well as some broken limbs and feet. Even the slightly intact ones had a red dot between their eyebrows, like black holes, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

The group skillfully sorted and piled up the valuable weapons. They worked in groups, one after the other, to clean up the Silver Gang's inner courtyard. Some of the women and children inside were terrified; those who weren't attractive would have been dealt with long ago.

The captain burst through the door and saw that the woman and child before him had no cultivation level, their complexions were sallow, and their eyes were dim. He sighed inwardly and said loudly, "The Silver Gang is rampant and domineering, committing all kinds of evil deeds, including robbery, extortion, smuggling, human trafficking, colluding with the government, and oppressing the people. Their methods are cruel and outrageous!"

Today, Lord He of the border town pleads with Heaven, vowing to eradicate this scourge and restore a bright and clear world for all!

The two thousand-strong teams, led by Shanlong, came from the left and right, sweeping across the land. Wherever they went, all the gangs, families, and tyrants marked by the Demon Slayer Division were wiped out.

Both sides felt that if they could not eliminate them all today, there would surely be endless troubles in the future. Whether it was infamy or hatred, someone had to bear it. They couldn't let the adults bear everything. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem greedy for them to eat silver and divide up land?

"Master, it's terrible! Those ruthless warriors are coming! You must run!" The fat butler rushed over, panting, his face flushed and his whole body trembling.

"Yes, sir, let's escape quickly! There are no pursuers at the south gate. Let's run away quickly!" The concubine, dressed in a flamboyant manner, looked frightened and stepped forward to her husband's side, urging him to leave.

"Yes, sir, let's run away quickly. If we lose the land deeds, shops, and houses, we'll lose them all. If we lose our people, we'll lose everything."

"My lord, our youngest son is still so young, you can't just watch him die!" Another alluring concubine, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a shapely figure and all the right curves, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the master's arm, and rocked him in her arms.

He also gave his other concubines meaningful glances.

Immediately, the other concubines forgot their usual rivalry and jealousy. At this moment, escaping was the priority. If they couldn't escape, no matter which side won, the night would probably descend into chaos.

These wealthy families, with their good looks, are likely to be targets of plunder by many of the victors. They'll just be slaughtered and pushed onto the losing side. Tonight will surely be a night of revelry for the victors.

Several concubines rushed forward and began to cry and plead, some hugging their arms, some hugging their legs, shaking them, "Master, you can't just watch us die in vain!"

"If the situation stabilizes, we can come back. These are all ours; they can't just rob us outright," a concubine comforted the white-haired old man.

"Alright, alright, we're here now. You guys pack your things quickly, we'll drive away as soon as possible. We'll only wait for a cup of tea, we won't wait any longer." The old man finally agreed.

Many families, including the Tian and Cheng families, or their dependent families, hurriedly fled at this moment. Some had already dispersed their future descendants in batches by the morning.

The four city gates of Nanhe Prefecture were wide open, and young men from various families, carrying gold, silver, and family secrets and treasures, rushed out of the south gate in a hurry.

For a moment, everyone was jostling each other, eager to get out of the city as soon as possible, afraid that they wouldn't be able to leave if they were late.

At the south gate, He Chen did not arrange for soldiers to intercept and kill the main families. The others were all fish that escaped the net, and those who were able to escape were simply waiting for the inevitable.

The youngest son of the Cheng family was escorted alone by an elder of the Cheng family in a carriage that was extremely comfortable. They secretly left through the south gate in the morning and arrived at a place about thirty miles away from Nanhe Prefecture. Suddenly, the elder of the Cheng family felt something was wrong.

There was no sound around, no chirping of insects, no singing of birds, only a deathly stillness pervading the air, as if all things were asleep, time had stopped, and a bloody stench permeated the desolate landscape.

Moreover, the carriage convoy that had been ahead of him for so long was all gone. Elder Cheng immediately gripped his long sword tightly; the scabbard was inlaid with gold, making it quite beautiful.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Cheng family that escaped from the city. The Tian and Yu families must have also sent people away beforehand, and those who remained were kept in the dark, hoping that their family patriarchs and powerful backers would come to their rescue.

Those who were sent away were the pampered children of the family and the future hope of the clan. Everyone else was someone who could be abandoned. Otherwise, if the Yu and Cheng families fled as a whole, Commander Guan would probably immediately launch an attack.

Elder Cheng suddenly stopped the car. Inside, a handsome young man with fierce eyes panicked for a moment, thinking to himself, "My darling, I'll come back to favor you once the family is safe."

Thinking about how he was hastily arranged to leave, although the maids beside him were gentle, lovely, and petite, this was an escape for his life, how could he take them with him? He really couldn't bear to see them suffer, so naturally he didn't take them with him.

Besides, the family is sure to win. Does this Commander Guan really dare to attack them? He's not afraid of the royal city's wrath or other noble families severing ties with them.

This world is all about human relationships and social interactions, not just about fighting and killing.

The sudden stop made me feel uneasy. I lifted the curtain, and sunlight streamed in, making me feel even more uncomfortable. A wave of heat and irritability washed over me, followed by a sudden surge of restlessness. [I thought to myself, "If only my beloved could come too; the journey would be quite enjoyable."]

Thinking of her maidservant, so gentle, lovely, beautiful, and so obedient to her, a pang of regret welled up inside her. She thought to herself, "I should have just begged Father. Sigh, it's all Father's fault for making me leave in such a hurry."

Composing himself, he saw only emptiness before him and asked softly, "Sixth Grandpa, why did you stop?"

When the sixth elder of the Cheng family saw the sixth young master, he nodded slightly and carefully looked around. In the distance was a corner with low mounds of earth on both sides, known as Camel Mountain. If there were bandits, this would be a good place to ambush them.
