The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 119 Where Did Taoist Li Go?

The bandits guarding the food looked at the approaching group of people in horror, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

One of the more daring bandits feigned composure and shouted angrily at Zhuge Quan, who was standing in the crowd, "Military Advisor, how dare you betray the leader? Aren't you afraid that if the leader finds out, he'll tear you to pieces?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ping on the side could no longer suppress his anger.

His eyes widened, his face flushed red as he cursed, "You are a bunch of unscrupulous bandits who commit murder, looting, and all kinds of evil on a daily basis. Today is the day you die!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the speaking bandit with a big knife in his hand.

There was a crisp "click" sound, the knife flashed, blood splattered everywhere, and the bandit's head fell to the ground before he even had time to scream.

The other twenty or so bandits who were guarding the grain were so frightened by this that they had no time to resist and turned around and ran into the cave.

Zhao Haoxuan was quick to react and shouted, "Chase! We can't let any of them get away!"

As his order was given, Zhou Yunxi behind him led a group of guards into action quickly, chasing after the fleeing bandits.

These bandits are ruthless and cruel. Otherwise, they would never have been entrusted by the boss with such an important task as guarding the cave entrance.

However, at this moment, facing the overwhelming strength of Zhao Haoxuan and others, all their ferocity and brutality seemed so pale and powerless.

In this life-and-death chase, although they are all desperate criminals, they are destined to become desperate souls at the mercy of others...

Not long after, those vicious bandits fell to the ground lifeless one after another.

At this time, Zhao Haoxuan waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yunxi, Xu Ping and Zhuge Quan behind him to walk into this mysterious cave together.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, everyone felt a cool breeze blowing towards them.

The space inside the cave is very spacious and huge, but due to the dim light, only the surrounding outlines can be vaguely seen.

However, the mountains of supplies were particularly eye-catching, and their presence could be clearly seen even in such dim light.

Looking around, there were not only mountains of grain, but also mountains of white silver.

It is hard to imagine how many innocent people's property these bandits robbed to accumulate such a huge fortune!

Although the previously lost supplies have disappeared, fortunately, the amount of supplies now available is astonishing and should be enough to support Nanhu County for some time.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Haoxuan took out a storage bag from his arms without any hesitation, and put two-thirds of the food and a large amount of gold, silver and treasures into the bag.

After completing this series of actions, he turned around, glanced at Zhou Yunxi, Xu Ping and Zhuge Quan in turn, and then began to assign subsequent work tasks to them in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Zhuge Quan spoke solemnly, "Sir, within the pavilion deep within this stronghold, there are three hundred abducted young ladies imprisoned! Sir, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and then uncontrollable anger surged in their hearts.

Zhao Haoxuan frowned, and after a moment's thought, he decisively issued an order: "Xu Ping, for those 300 girls who wish to return home, send someone to escort them safely back. As for those who do not wish to return home, leave them all in the mountains. Establish a female guard team here, and later hand it over to my wife for unified management!"

"Yes, master!" Xu Ping quickly clasped his fists in agreement, looking extremely respectful.

Taier Mountain is indeed a place of great natural beauty. The abundant spiritual energy in the mountains is extremely suitable for cultivation, and it is also of great benefit to Zhao Haoxuan in further expanding his power.

After careful consideration, Zhao Haoxuan decided to let Xu Ping and his personal guards lead 30,000 elite troops to be stationed here.

Then, he ordered, "Xu Ping, I order you to subdue all the bandits in this area within three months. Kill all the extremely vicious ones. Those who are willing to surrender will be incorporated into the personal guard after being educated and qualified!"

"Yes, Master, I promise to complete the mission!" Xu Ping replied respectfully. Ever since taking the elixir given by Wang Xinyao, he had reached the spiritual realm, so taking down a few bandit gangs was no problem at all.

Then, Zhao Haoxuan looked at Zhuge Quan with a sharp gaze and asked softly, "What are your plans for the future, sir?"

Zhuge Quan looked solemn as he slowly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhao Haoxuan.

He said in a very respectful tone, "Thank you for your kindness, my Lord, for giving me this opportunity to make amends. I am deeply grateful. From now on, I am willing to follow you and go to the capital together in the future so that I can serve the country and do my best to contribute to it."

After spending this period of time together and observing each other, Zhuge Quan knew very well that although Zhou Yunxi was a general here, the one who really controlled the decision-making power of this team was the bearded man next to him, who looked rough but had hidden talents.

"Thank you, master. I will be loyal and do my best to complete whatever you ask me to do!" Zhuge Quan immediately began to express his loyalty.

Zhao Haoxuan was delighted upon hearing this, and he immediately responded, "Alright! In that case, from today on, you will continue to serve as our military advisor."

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Yunxi beside him, and the two smiled at each other.

Then, Zhao Haoxuan waved his hand and led everyone back to Nanhu County with sufficient food.

In Nanhu County, the epidemic situation has completely stabilized, with no new cases. Wang Xinyao finally felt relieved.

Next, she just had to wait for Zhao Haoxuan and others to bring back food. She finally breathed a sigh of relief!

However, an unexpected guest arrived in Nanhu County! She was asking about Wang Xinyao's whereabouts along the way, and the visitor was none other than the ghostly shadow!

At this time, Wang Xinyao and Ouyang Ping were patrolling the city to check on the people after they had returned to normal life.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead. She looked up and saw a strange-looking woman walking towards her. The people around her moved out of the way.

"Are you Wang Xinyao?" the ghostly shadow asked, his voice like a cold blade cutting through the air.

Wang Xinyao was startled, but remained calm and replied, "It's me. Who are you, and why are you looking for me?"

"Tell me quickly, where did Taoist Li go?" After saying that, a fierce look flashed in the ghostly shadow's eyes.
