Although the sun had set, the sky was still dark, and was less than fifty meters away from the nearest Jin Soldier.

The woman's mouth was covered, but not only did she not dodge, she even grabbed onto Jiang Xiaobai's arm and moved a little forward.

"Mrs. Ding, when the battle is over and the battle is stable, you can go to the city to find your husband." This was Ding Yuan's woman, so Jiang Xiaobai called her Madam Ding.

However, the lady revealed a bitter smile, and waited for Jiang Xiaobai to remove his hand, and said softly: "How could I have the qualifications to be Lady Ding, I am a plaything he spent three hundred silver on."

When the woman said this, her expression was calm. It was obvious that she took this as a matter of course. She had long accepted this as a habit.

Jiang Xiaobai knew that the women of this era did not have a high position in society. They had already gotten used to a society where men were the most powerful.

This person was the same as Xiu Niang, they had already lost the ability to control their own destinies, and even subconsciously thought of obtaining this ability. Their only hope was to become a "good man" 's personal belongings, and live a life that was not too torturous.

With regards to the thoughts that were rooted in their bones, Jiang Xiaobai didn't have the ability to correct them instantly, not to mention in this kind of situation.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai could only smile and pat her head, hoping that she would calm down.

Wei Qiuyue was definitely not able to wait anymore. Currently, the most important mission for Jiang Xiaobai was to wait until nightfall to cover the land before bringing this pitiful girl away from this place.

The woman moved forward a little and sized Jiang Xiaobai up with some curiosity.

When she realized that Jiang Xiaobai was staring straight ahead, observing the movements of Jin Soldier and Song Soldier, she suddenly laughed: "Hero, don't worry, Golden Man will not enter the city."

Jiang Xiaobai was startled, I felt that something was off, I couldn't figure it out, how did she understand?

"A brave warrior definitely isn't someone from the Yi Zhou. He doesn't know about the situation at the border." The woman said, "Golden Man is greedy, they're looking for an excuse to ask for money."

"You want money?" Jiang Xiaobai was even more confused.

"Although I only saw Ding Yuan today, because he was worried that I wouldn't be able to enter the city before sunset, he kept urging the coachman to hurry on their way and told me a bit about the situation of Yi Zhou." The woman directly called out Ding Yuan's name. Clearly, she didn't have any feelings for Ding Yuan because she had been sold to him.

According to the woman, this had happened more than once.

Although the Sixteen Yanyun Counties officially returned Great Song back to him, in reality, it was actually Song Kingdom that he spent a lot of money to buy them.

For the past few months, even though Jin Soldier had already withdrawn from a few counties, due to the lack of money from the Song Kingdom, there was still a small troop stationed there. Dujisilian's group was one of them.

The sole purpose of these gold men was to plunder the land as much as possible of its wealth and population.

In order to achieve their goals, they did anything they wanted, to the point that they could rob anyone before the Song Kingdom officials could do anything.

However, snatching was one thing. They still had to take account of Song Jin's alliance. They had to rob the outside of the city, not the outside.

Moreover, they only robbed at night. During the day, the commoners were allowed to farm in the fields.

However, the people from Song Kingdom were already afraid of being robbed. Everyone who was able to enter the city had already entered, and had also brought almost all of their wealth into the city. Even if some unlucky people were occasionally caught by Jin Soldier, they wouldn't be able to do much.

Therefore, in order to extract more money, the Golden Man had to find excuses to threaten the civilians and soldiers of the city.

Three months ago, the Golden Man used the excuse of a missing soldier to "attack" once, forcing the Liu County Order to give him a thousand silver.

A month ago, the Golden Man did the same thing and extorted another three thousand taels of silver.

Today, it should be the same routine — asking for money.

Otherwise, even though both sides had been in "discord" for more than half an hour, Jin Soldier still hadn't lost a single person while he was making a ruckus with the intent to wash the Yi Zhou City with blood.

So that was how it was, Jiang Xiaobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder Jin Soldier did not search for the culprit. No wonder they went all out, they were only making a ruckus outside the city. They were really acting!

Perhaps it was to verify the woman's words, but three rings were suddenly heard from the top of the city gate.

As if they had received an order, the immediately stopped shooting.

"Creak creak creak!" The sound of a winch could be heard as the basket was once again put down. Two Song Soldier carried a big box over to the bridge.

The chest was opened, and it was filled with silver taels.

One of the Song Soldier s shouted loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please bear with it. The people of Yi Zhou are beyond thankful.

"Five hundred silver?" Are you trying to fool a child? " Dujisilian was furious, he waved his arm with all his might.

"Bang, bang, bang …" archer started to shoot again.

The two Song Soldier s were used to it and were not nervous at all.

At this moment, another box was brought down.

The two Song Soldier s carried the chests back and shouted loudly, "Masters, expel Liaoren, relieve the suffering of the citizens of Yi Zhou.

Not enough, shoot!

Not enough, take more silver!

It was no different from playing house. The two soldiers went back and forth between the city wall and the suspension bridge, carrying the chests again and again.

Although their words were not the same, their meaning was the same — Song People thanked Golden Man and voluntarily gave him money as a gift, asking him to accept it.

There were all sorts of things that were sent over. At first, it was silver, but after two thousand taels of silver, it turned into silk, medicinal herbs, and mutton.

It was a pity that Jin Soldier's appetite was too big this time. No matter what he sent over, the answer would not be enough as he continued to shoot.

Finally, when two teary faces who were sixteen or seventeen years old were sent over, Jiang Xiaobai was completely enraged.

Are the people in the city all afraid of death?

What does a parent official want him for? What does a Song Soldier like this want him for? A city like this … If I don't take over, there's no justice!

However, even though the person had been delivered, Jin Soldier was still not satisfied.

"Lord Liu, you have no sincerity!" Dujisilian let out a cold laugh, and shouted, "Come, let Song People see the power of my Great Jin Kingdom warrior!"

"Yes sir!" A burly man with a black face answered the question and immediately nocked an arrow on his bow. He then shot an arrow at the tower of the city gate.

Ah!" He screamed miserably. The game that he had played for more than two hours had finally yielded substantial results. An unlucky soldier of the Song Army was struck by an arrow and fell to the ground while clutching his shoulder.

Are they really coming?

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were spitting fire, he stared straight at the city gate tower, hoping that the blood would arouse Song People's courage.

However, what Jiang Xiaobai did not expect was that no one above the city gates tried to retaliate, and everyone retreated.

"Sir Du Ji, I have a precious treasure that I am willing to offer to you!" Hu Gongdao's voice sounded as a shiny object appeared on top of the crater.

Under the shadow of the torch, the object shone with an enchanting luster, as if it were a bottle made of some kind of fine jade.

Fuck, an empty bottle!
