Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104: Rushing About Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104: Rushing About But all of this came to nothing under the barrage of Liu Sisi and others’ cannons and fire arrows.

The people in the mountain tribe tried to resist, but their bows and arrows could not reach the distance where Liu Sisi and her group were positioned.

They could only watch helplessly as the mountain tribe was engulfed in flames and turned to ashes.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A few people who had been ready at the side rushed out quickly, snatching the little girl back before the enemy could react.

The little girl clearly hadn’t recovered from the shock of what had just happened, and she stared blankly at Liu Sisi for a while before suddenly bursting into tears.

And she cried her heart out!

“Stop crying, now is not the time for tears!”

Liu Sisi suddenly spoke, and her crisp voice immediately made the other party lift her head.

“You…”

“Shh! Don’t talk. Just watch closely what’s happening ahead, and see how I take revenge for you!”

Liu Sisi’s mouth carried a shallow smile, and the mustache stuck to her face also quivered comically.

The little girl’s attention was not on the battlefield across the mountain tribe; instead, she was intently focused on every move Liu Sisi made, even forgetting to cry, as if she wanted to strip Liu Sisi bare for a closer look.

The battle quickly drew towards an end. Aside from a few who stayed beside Liu Sisi for protection, the rest rushed into the mountain tribe and began looting the stockpile within.

Countless bandits lay dead or wounded, and some were taken prisoner.

By afternoon, all the money in the mountain tribe had been discovered. The mountain of silver made even Liu Sisi and her people stop in their tracks.

“Princess, with so much gold, silver, and jade items, and these rare treasures, how shall we carry them away?”

There were only about fifty people with them; how could they transport all this silver?

This was also something that gave Liu Sisi a headache.

The little girl who had been staring at Liu Sisi couldn’t help but speak up, “If you can’t carry it away, you can let my brother do it. My brother is a Centurion, and he has soldiers under his command.”

Liu Sisi was not concerned about these worldly possessions; as long as they could be used on the campaign, it was preferable not to leave them for the bandits, and even better if they could be used to help the army resist the ethnic groups.

“That’s fine! However, we don’t plan to linger here. Whether these treasures are still here when your brother arrives, that’s not our problem. You have to fend for yourself.”

Having spoken, Liu Sisi turned and summoned everyone.

She directed everyone to help themselves to some valuable items, and then prepared to leave.

“Hey! Wait, wait for me. I mean, are you really just going to walk away like that? All these gold and silver treasures, and you’re not even slightly tempted?”

“Tempted, of course!”

Liu Sisi casually replied.

With so much gold and silver right in front of her, she wasn’t a saint; how could she not be tempted?

“Then why are you leaving?”

“Because I know that only the silver I can protect is truly mine. If I had my horsemen carry away all this wealth, we’d become nothing more than a target for others outside. Besides, we wouldn’t be able to do anything else. Have you finished asking? If so, please step aside; we’re about to depart.”

The prolonged search without success had significantly altered Liu Sisi’s temper, and this little girl asked so many questions that she instinctively wanted to avoid her.

“Don’t be in such a hurry! I still have questions for you,” she said.

That little girl caught up again, “My name is Fan Duoer, my brother Fan Ying, is a Centurion of the Great Xia. I took a good look just now, and you don’t have an Adam’s apple at all, your voice is high-pitched, and that little mustache looks odd no matter how I look at it. You’re a girl, aren’t you? Did I guess it right? Say something!”

Liu Sisi carefully adjusted her saddle, then mounted the horse, aiming to leave, but the little girl grabbed the reins tightly.

“Let go!”

“I won’t let go, you haven’t answered my question. Are you really a girl? And why didn’t you rescue me earlier, but chased me down here to save me? If you don’t give me answers today, I’m not letting go!”

Fan Duoer clung to her reins, showing no sign of letting go.

“Let go! Don’t make me say it a third time, and you’d better pray that I don’t regret saving you.”

Liu Sisi was in a foul mood, and the words that came out were just as harsh.

“Just tell me! Why did you have to chase me down here to save me? Did you know from the start that these mountain bandits were rich?” Fan Duoer’s face was full of curiosity, a true embodiment of the inquisitive spirit.

Her beautiful face, with sparkling large eyes, looked at Liu Sisi with a bright smile.

Liu Sisi sighed!

“Do you really think these mountain bandits are that formidable? With the so-called ‘officials protecting each other,’ if I had really rescued you in the inn, I probably wouldn’t have made it out before those so-called soldiers arrived. These bandits are so audacious, unless you eradicate them all in one go, it’s like ‘cutting the grass only for it to grow back again.'”
Explaining the situation was too troublesome, so Liu Sisi could only pick out the important points to share, whether the other party could understand them was beyond her concern.

Seizing the moment while the other was contemplating, she snatched back the reins and kicked the horse to depart.

Then everyone followed suit.

“Hey! You guys… hmph!”

Fan Duoer hastily called out but couldn’t get a response from the retreating figure and stamped her foot in frustration.

Liu Sisi, leading the others, didn’t turn back to the original inn but instead took a path over a hill, heading straight for their next destination–a small town near the Silk Road, another stopping point.

Just as Liu Sisi and her group rode over the hillside, a group of people rushed from the other side of the mountain towards the direction of the mountain tribe.

The small towns scattered along the Silk Road are numerous, nestled among the various mountain ranges.

As Liu Sisi and the others traveled along the mountain path, they soon encountered several merchant caravans. These groups were all exceptionally tense, fully armed. Upon seeing Liu Sisi and her group hurriedly approaching and then quickly departing, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They watched with curiosity as a few figures disappeared into the distance.

By dusk, Liu Sisi and her group had arrived at the next small town.

This small town wasn’t very big and had a small population, yet every household had hosted merchants passing through. Liu Sisi casually chose a noticeable house at the village entrance to stay in.

Once settled, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but move her body a bit and proceeded to remove the fake disguise from her face, then asked for some clear water to wash up.

The water supply nearby was very scarce; taking a bath was practically a luxury, so being able to wash up with clear water was already quite remarkable.

She took off her inner garment, washed it with the used clear water, hung it up to dry, and then redressed in her clothes.

Just as she had finished tidying herself up, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.
