Chapter 477 Protecting the Best Sister 19
"Aunt, you are so powerful that you can kill so many people from the Tiger Head Gang by yourself. Why do we have to cooperate with the Yellow Eyebrow Army?" Ruan Ying was puzzled.
They were about to set off the next day. In the evening, Li Mingzhu and Zhang Rulan were sorting out the things they needed in the room, while the three Ruan Ying sisters sat beside them.
Hearing this, Zhang Rulan couldn't help but frown: "You mean to let me go alone to Dangshan to rescue people where there are thousands of Green Forest Army?"
"Uh..." Ruan Ying was speechless.
After hearing what Zhang Rulan said, she realized that she had asked a stupid question and lowered her head silently.
There was no way. Li Mingzhu seemed so relaxed when killing people, just like cutting a watermelon, which gave Ruan Ying the illusion that she could resist thousands of troops alone.
Li Mingzhu smiled but said nothing.
Actually, it’s not impossible, but there are too many things to deal with later, and it’s difficult for her to do it alone.
and……
Li Mingzhu looked at Zhang Rulan who was preparing things carefully.
What they wanted was not only to rescue the Ruan family or kill all the Green Forest Army.
Late at night, Li Mingzhu sneaked out of Ludangpo and hurried all the way to Fengyu Pavilion.
She first went to the gate of a village behind and put ten bags of grain, then walked up the mountain along a small path and came to the door of a dilapidated house.
A short man in a turban was dozing off against the stone at the door, holding a hoe.
Li Mingzhu kicked him: "Zhang Ergou, wake up!"
"Well……"
Zhang Ergou was awakened, wiped the saliva from his mouth, and looked at Li Mingzhu in a daze.
When he recognized who it was, Zhang Ergou was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground: "Li... Li Erjie..."
"Well," Li Mingzhu walked inside, "Where's Feng Da?"
Zhang Ergou hurriedly followed her and said, "Brother Feng is inside. I'll go call him right away!" Then he ran inside.
Feng Da was sleeping soundly. When he heard Li Mingzhu coming, he quickly got up, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, then hurried over to meet her.
"Second Sister Li!"
After a while, all the twenty-six people who stayed here arrived.
Li Mingzhu sat on a chair in the middle of the room with a full carriage and asked Feng Da, "What did you say to the Huang Meijun?"
Feng Da chuckled, "That was the situation at the time..."
Li Mingzhu nodded after listening and said, "You did a good job. Tomorrow I will be passing by here with the Yellow Eyebrow Army. Do you know what to do?"
Feng Da patted his chest and said, "Just wait and see!"
Li Mingzhu explained some more things and said to Feng Da before leaving: "I brought ten bags of food and left them at the entrance of your village. Remember to distribute them!"
Feng Da was very surprised and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, second sister!"
Back at Ludangpo, Zhang Rulan was still awake. Seeing Li Mingzhu coming back, she hurriedly asked, "How's it going? Is everything okay over there?"
Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "Well, Feng Da is quite capable."
"That's good," Zhang Rulan also smiled, "I just hope everything goes well!"
Go back to two days ago.
On the way to Ludangpo, they passed by Fengyu Pavilion and were stopped and robbed by the White Horse Gang.
Mei Tianliang, as his name suggests, was a man without conscience, and Xiangzhou was in chaos under his rule.
In addition to the Yellow Eyebrow Army, there are many other bandit gangs.
The people in the White Horse Gang were actually villagers from a village near Fengyu Pavilion. Because they really couldn't make ends meet, the village chief's son Feng Da made up his mind and took several young men from the village to engage in highway robbery.
The people in the White Horse Gang are essentially honest farmers. If they were asked to rob and kill people, they would not be able to do it.
So usually after they get something, they let the person go.
Moreover, they carefully selected their targets for robbery and let go of those civilians who looked very poor.
People who often come and go here are all aware of the White Horse Gang's style of doing things, so they don't resist much when they meet them.
For so many years, we have been living in peace.
Mei Tianliang died suddenly a few days ago. After the news spread, many people felt that Xiangzhou was not peaceful, so there were fewer pedestrians passing by.
Normally, the White Horse Gang would not take action against a group like Li Mingzhu, which consists of women and children.
But the food in the village has run out, and if we don’t find a solution, the children will starve.
So Feng Da gritted his teeth, took a hoe, and intercepted Li Mingzhu and his companions' carriage with the villagers.
Then, they were beaten up by Li Mingzhu.
After learning about the White Horse Gang, Li Mingzhu and Zhang Rulan discussed and decided to subdue them directly.
"Under the current circumstances, we won't be able to return to the capital anytime soon," Zhang Rulan said clearly, "We must find a way to increase our strength!"
It's not a castle in the air kind of strength, but a real strength that can control the life and death of others.
During these years at Zuichunlou, Zhang Rulan deeply realized a fact.
If a person wants to live comfortably and protect the people he wants to protect, he must stand in a high position and become a person that everyone fears.
Otherwise, you will just become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Madam Zhou could wrongly accuse her at will and trample on her dignity.
Mother Cao could make her a scapegoat and threaten her with the Fang family afterwards.
Even Mudan could rely on her status as the top star to put the blame on her.
Zhang Rulan didn't want to live like this anymore, and she wouldn't allow her family to live like this either.
There was a fire in her heart, and this fire had to find an outlet, otherwise it would definitely burn her to ashes.
It was also at that time that Zhang Rulan had an idea.
In the history of this world, there have been many outstanding women, several female emperors, and even empresses who rose from commoners to become the supreme ruler.
There is a horse caravan in the northwest today, and its leader is a woman.
The founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was worried that women's participation in politics would undermine the foundation of the country, so after the founding of the country, he issued various policies to suppress women's rights as much as possible.
They traveled all the way from Kyoto and saw too much suffering in the people's lives.
Among them, women had a harder time than men, and there were countless cases of women pawning their wives and selling their concubines.
In this chaotic world, if Zhang Rulan wants to have a place to stay, she can't rely on others alone, she must have her own power.
In that case, why not just go for a big one.
With so many outstanding predecessors setting precedents, why can't they follow their example?
Li Mingzhu had no doubt about Zhang Rulan's ambition.
She just hugged Zhang Rulan and said softly, "As you wish."
With a goal in mind, the two sisters began to implement it.
They first turned their attention to the Yellow Eyebrow Army.
The White Horse Gang is too small, and almost all of its members have never seen blood. They are just relying on the large numbers of people in the village to intimidate others.
The Huangmei Army is a good target to be utilized.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Xiangzhou government office successfully delivered the letter, they would make the Yellow Eyebrow Army believe that the letter was "intercepted" by the Green Forest Army.
