Not only did they surround Li's mansion, but the leader, General Qian, also personally led an army to charge in and surround the flower hall.

General Qian was stunned for a moment when he saw the blood-filled room.

Mr. Li San shouted for help, "Uncle, please save me."

That’s right, these are relatives of the Li family. Qin Cheng is firmly under their control and has nothing to fear.

When General Qian saw the appearance of Mr. Li San, he immediately flew into a rage. "How dare you lynch an official's son? This is unforgivable. Arrest him."

A group of soldiers rushed up aggressively. The guard immediately stabbed Li Zhifu. Li Zhifu trembled all over and immediately shouted, "Stop, everyone stop."

Only then did General Qian see that Li Zhifu was being controlled by others, and he was furious, "Let go of the Zhifu, you are breaking the law."

The young camp ignored him.

General Qian looked at Ning Zhiwei, "Commander Ning, you are also an official of the imperial court. You should know how serious the consequences of kidnapping an official are."

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "I didn't touch him."

General Qian couldn't believe it. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"That's your man, he's following your orders."

Ning Zhiwei looked coldly at Li Zhifu who was not far away, "Li Zhifu, did I do anything?"

Li Zhifu was furious. How could there be such a person? However, the person was in her hands, so she had to bow her head.

"No, no."

Ning Zhiwei suddenly asked, "Prefect Li, have you and General Zhengxi collected the head tax?"

"No...no." Magistrate Li looked flustered. How dare he ask for money from the royal family?

As for the Northwest Army, in his eyes they were just a group of rebels, and Ning Zhiwei was just a weak woman who was protected by the Ning family's grace and blessings, and her great reputation was brought up by the Ning family army.

So, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Ning Zhiwei finally laughed, "It turns out that Magistrate Li is also a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong."

Magistrate Li's face turned pale. He had no idea that Ning Zhiwei was such a tough person.

"I won't take your money. Just let me go first. I'll write a warrant and let you pass."

Let’s talk about it after we get out of this situation.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at the door and calculated the time, "Write it."

Magistrate Li took the paper and pen quickly, and put down the brush soon, "I'm done."

Ning Zhiwei took the warrant and signaled his men to release him.

As soon as Li Zhifu was free, he rushed behind General Qian and shouted, "Kill these troublemakers, don't spare any of them."

He changes his expression quickly.

After suffering such a great humiliation, he had only one thought in mind: to destroy them.

The men brought by General Qian quickly rushed forward and fought with the youth battalion.

Ning Zhiwei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him calmly. Li Ji was one of the eighteen rebel kings in his previous life.

He was not the most powerful force, but he was the most violent. Wherever he went, he would scrape off several layers of the land. Within his sphere of influence, the people were the most miserable. They were displaced, nine out of ten houses were empty, and human life was cheaper than grass.

Judging from the time, his uprising is imminent.

But she couldn't let him become powerful and kill so many innocent people, so it was better to strike first.

"Li Ji, I came to the capital to defend the king, but you want to kill me and stop me from going to the capital. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Magistrate Li showed a look of struggle. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into her trap from the very beginning.

From the moment she tore down the gate, she had been testing his bottom line, provoking the violence and hatred in his heart.

She was forcing him to make the first move. Why?

But, now that things have come to this, he will definitely not let Ning Zhiwei go.

"Why are you rebelling? The current emperor is not of royal blood, and the throne is occupied by a bastard. We must purge him."

General Qian's eyes were surprisingly bright, and he was eager to try, "Yes, we need to clear out the emperor's entourage. Unruly and treacherous officials like you are exactly our target for elimination."

Let's use her as a sacrifice to shock the heroes of the world!

Ning Zhiwei listened to the ridiculous reason and smiled sarcastically.

"Soldiers of Qincheng, do you want to follow Li Ji in rebellion? Don't be silly, you are just stepping stones for his wealth and glory, cannon fodder. You can't even get enough food, is it worth it to risk your life for him?"

It has to be said that Li Ji was not only harsh to the people, but also to the soldiers, but he was very generous to the generals.

The soldiers all looked at Ning Zhiwei, and their movements became noticeably slower.

Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, "Why not follow me?"

Li Ji couldn't help but get anxious when seeing someone poaching people in public, "Ning Zhiwei, shut up and stop spreading rumors to confuse the public."

But, some people are already moved.

Last night's midnight snack, along with Ning Zhiwei's reputation for being lenient towards his soldiers, has spread throughout the army. Who wouldn't be tempted?

It doesn't matter who you follow? It doesn't matter who you work for? Why not pick someone who is better at fighting and gets paid better?

The soldiers at the bottom have the hardest and most dangerous jobs.

Going to the battlefield means risking your life, with no hope in sight. If you meet a bad superior, you will be abused and exploited, and your life will be worse than death.

Therefore, they were particularly envious of the Ning family army. The Ning family commanders of all generations loved their soldiers like their own sons, even the Princess of Jingning County was the same.

"Can I eat enough by following you?"

"Yes." Ning Zhiwei answered firmly. She had no shortage of hungry soldiers.

"Are we going to give out warm woolen underwear?" a soldier asked loudly. "Last winter, we were given shoddy winter clothes. Many soldiers froze to death."

What the soldiers care about is nothing more than food and clothing. A good superior is one who can keep them well fed and warm.

Ning Zhiwei agreed without hesitation, "Of course, if you join my Northwest Army, you must abide by the rules of my Northwest Army. I will treat you equally."

A soldier immediately dropped his weapon, fell to the ground and shouted, "Greetings, Commander."

After the first one, there were the second and third, and the soldiers followed suit, "Greetings, Commander."

Li Zhifu looked at these blatantly rebellious soldiers in disbelief. Are they crazy? They have joined the Qincheng Army!

"Anyone who dares to surrender will be treated as a rebel and his entire family will be executed."

"This..." The soldiers looked embarrassed. This was something they had not expected. What should they do?

Magistrate Li was going crazy. He never expected that Ning Zhiwei had such appeal and influence that could shake the morale of other people.

He angrily accused loudly, "Jingning County Lady, you are too cruel. You are going to kill these innocent soldiers. What crime have they committed that you treat them like this?"

Ning Zhiwei was not panicked, but smiled slightly, "Is that so? Then I'll borrow your brain for use."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards took action. A white light flashed, and a head flew up and landed in front of the Li family's feet.

Blood splattered all over the floor.

"Ahhhh." A scream suddenly rang out. The Li family members were frightened out of their wits and fainted one after another.

General Qian was terrified and trembling all over.

She was so terrifying! She chopped off the head of a prefect just because of a disagreement!
