The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 9 Cabbage Stuffed Buns

The bandits really did come the next day, but compared to the previous day, the number of people who came this time was so large that it frightened the old doctor A Lan and others, there were more than 40 people.

With so many people nestled in the manor, the old doctor and the others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"What to do, what to do, there are so many people here, this time is terrible!"

"Stop nagging, the lady said she has her own way, just wait and see."

At the bandit's place, Scarface jumped off his horse and walked straight to the center of the manor. He glanced at the people in front of him, and when he couldn't see Ran Tong, he shouted loudly.

"Where's your eldest lady! Tell her to come out."

The roar is like thunder, dare to say that the stomach is full of anger after eating enough yesterday.

After a while, a pleasant voice came from the kitchen, with a slightly unpleasant tone.

"Brother Zhaizhu, did you bring all the brothers in the village? The momentum is so great that the little girl is afraid to go out."

Hearing this voice, Scarface laughed.

"Little girl, let's not talk nonsense, have you prepared steamed buns today? If you dare to play tricks on me, I will make blood flow here!"

Before the words were finished, the door of the kitchen was pushed open, and a girl in an apron covered in flour rolled up her sleeves and came out. Although the girl's face was still weak and pale, her appearance was like a ray of spring breeze. The interior of this weed-ridden estate looks unique.

Ran Tong looked at the huge battle in front of her, and her beautiful eyes swept over them one by one. There were a total of 46 people including the scarred face, and she saw everyone's expression and state in her eyes.

hungry, weak.

This is the atmosphere circulating in this group of so-called "bandits". It is said that they are bloodthirsty robbers and bandits all day long, rather they are a group of refugees who have fled famine for several months.

Looking at Scarface again, although he is very imposing, since he came here until now, he has never done anything like yesterday, as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong and Ran Tong would not give them steamed buns.

But this state is exactly what Ran Tong wants.

I'm afraid that years of hunger and hunger have polished off the hostility of these bandits.If this is the case, the young girl also gained confidence, she intentionally put her hands on her hips, and sat directly on the stone pier at her feet.

"I said, what does the elder brother of the village master think of our place?" She said coldly, "Are you here for the buffet?"

No one knows what this so-called "buffet" means, but people can see the girl's attitude and subtext.

Scar's face changed, his big hand shook, and a shining blade appeared in his hand.

"Are you kidding me?"

"My little girl never plays tricks, but the elder brother of the village owner didn't say hello to my little girl in advance. I'm afraid my little girl didn't prepare meals for so many people."

"Hearing what you said, the steamed buns should be all made?"

"Do it or not, brother can continue to order people to search."

"you!"

Scarface's voice turned cold, and he looked at the brothers behind him from the corner of his eye. To be honest, many of their brothers have struggled in this northern border for so many years, especially the past two years have been particularly difficult. Before that, there were often wars here. Because this place is next to the Mahayana Dynasty and the grassland tribes in the north, those sturdy horse people came here across the mountains. In order to prevent them from invading, the dynasty often sent troops to defend against the enemy.

The Northern Territory is a battleground for military strategists.

In the past few years, hundreds of battles, big and small, took place in this area of ​​a hundred miles alone. At that time, the bandits like Scarface who occupied the mountain as king were very happy. Who can make war fortune? Don't you love it?
When the two armies are at war, the ones who clean up the battlefield... are them.

Weapons, armor, food, and human flesh, these things are lacking everywhere, except on the battlefield.

But this "good day" didn't last long. A few years ago, the prince known as King Kaixun of the Dynasty personally led his troops to wipe out the iron cavalry on the northern grassland in one fell swoop, and drove them back to the grassland. There was no war.

It was a barren and barren land, and lost the most important source of income and food. These seemingly vicious bandits were about to starve to death.

As the lord of a village, Scarface must not let the brothers behind him go through life and death to go hungry again.

"Xiao Nizi, I'm not joking. I'll count to five. If you don't take out the steamed buns after five counts, I'll kill you." Scarface said in a low voice, "One."

Ran Tong was unmoved.

"two."

The old doctor and the others hurriedly shrank away, fearing that it would affect them.

"three."

The cold knife was unsheathed, and Scarface stepped forward.

"Four!"

He had already walked in front of Ran Tong, the girl was sitting, and he stood in front of Ran Tong and looked down at her, that oppressive feeling went straight to the sky.

"Five, kind!"

Scarface raised the knife, and then swung it down fiercely under everyone's gaze!
"Miss!!!"

Alan yelled, and everyone's faces were ashen.

But when the scimitar was inserted into the ground, people looked forward in shock.

Not only was Sikong Qingyao fine, but people could still see the scarred face that was arrogant and domineering before kneeling on the ground at this moment.

People were left speechless.

The old doctor and Li Bo beside him looked at me and I looked at you, and the people seemed to be turned into sculptures at this moment and remained motionless.

This bandit leader actually knelt down to the eldest lady? !
Ran Tong quietly swallowed her saliva, she didn't dare to breathe out, the skin on her back was already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, everything was within her plan.

"Oh, what are you doing, Brother Zhaizhu!" Ran Tong deliberately raised his voice, showing an expression that it's none of my business, I didn't do anything.

The scarred face remained silent, still kneeling firmly on the ground.

The atmosphere began to become serious, and Ran Tong knew that something might happen if it continued, so she put away her playful expression, and looked past the scarred body to look behind him, those skinny brothers all lowered their heads Fists clenched, as if such a scene humiliated them immensely.

If he looked carefully, Ran Tong could still see that many of the bandits standing stumbling around were sobbing softly.The stockade that dominated the Northern Territory before, how could it have suffered such a useless spirit.

Take it when you see it.

At this moment, Ran Tong stood up and helped the scarred face.

But Scarface still knelt firmly, without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Ran Tong also sighed, and turned his head: "Prince doctor, Uncle Li, Alan, Ake, take out the food."

When he heard these words, Scarface raised his head quietly, and stared at the few people who rushed into the kitchen.

Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the four old imperial physicians dragged out two large pots of steamed buns from the kitchen... No, not steamed buns!

"steamed stuffed bun……"

"That's a bun!!"

Even Scarface stood up abruptly, and the brothers behind him were like hungry wolves before preying.

Scarface looked at the girl in front of him vigilantly, Ran Tong moved his steps lightly, motioning for them to go ahead.

As if they had some kind of permission, those 40 people finally turned into uncaged zombies. They ran, pushed, and crawled to the two cauldrons, and stuffed the buns into their mouths vigorously, for fear of slowing down. , I have to starve to death.

Seeing this appearance, even the old doctor grinned, showing a look that couldn't bear to look directly at him.

"It's really ugly to eat."

Ran Tong clapped his hands, looked up at Scarface: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the buns?"

Scarface: "If you don't have a full meal, my brothers will starve to death, anyway."

Having said that, Scarface hesitated for a while.

"And you, aren't you afraid that I'll take your place?"

Ran Tong shrugged: "Didn't the elder brother of the village master search everywhere yesterday? If you really think that I have something you need hidden here, just take it away."

"If I want to force you to hand over the grain with death, are you not afraid that I will really kill you?"

"I told my eldest brother that I really don't have much food here, and you won't kill me."

"..."

Scarface was speechless, if he could have hesitated yesterday, seeing so many steamed buns today, he really couldn't kill her, even though he didn't know where she got so many steamed buns, and could feed them That's enough.

"Then there are so many cabbage buns, where did you hide the food?"

"My little girl has her own way. If I say it is the blessing of God and the gods, will the elder brother of the Walled Master believe it?"

Scarface froze for a moment, as if a seed had been slowly planted in his heart. He was really thinking about whether this woman might be a priest or some kind of oracle who could communicate with the gods...

"Let's not mention this first, do you want to make a deal with me?"

Scarface came back to his senses at this time, and he glanced at Ran Tong. At this time, the back of this tall and thick man suddenly turned cold. The girl in front of him seemed to be transformed from the "Oracle" into a demon who lured him into making terrible deals. And deadly.

"You said."

"I want you and all your brothers to work for me."
