The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

It is the last dog days of summer. The temperature during the day is very high, especially at noon, it is really hot enough to melt people.

But at night, the temperature dropped sharply and it became very cool.

Song Zizhou, Song Qing and Song Mingxuan sat on a bench, playing finger-guessing games, drinking wine and eating peanuts, looking quite comfortable.

The stables of the post station were just behind them on the right, within sight if they could just reach their heads.

At this moment, six thieves led by Xu Tianlin were hiding behind a pile of licorice next to the stable.

The subordinate named Zhou Peng said, "Boss, they sent three people to guard there, so we can't do anything."

Another subordinate named Shan Yanghui said, "Boss, there are only three of them, and we have six. Why are we so scared? Let's just go and kill them!"

Xu Tianlin glanced at Shan Yanghui and said, "Since they are confident in letting three people guard there, it proves that these three are not ordinary people. We should not be impulsive and wait and see."

His men just wanted to get started, but he wouldn't agree.

There are only a few of them. If the opponent has top-notch martial arts skills, they will only put themselves in danger if they act rashly.

So he needs to take a look first and not act impulsively.

So, they observed here until midnight, and saw that two of the three of them were already dozing off. Isn't this the opportunity?

Xu Tianlin stood up and said, "Brothers, let's charge!"

At the command, the five younger brothers walked towards Song Zizhou and the others with knives in hand.

In order not to alert the enemy, they did not make any noise and walked very carefully.

Soon, they came behind Song Zizhou and the others.

Just as they were about to take action, Song Zizhou suddenly opened his eyes and threw a white ball in front of them.

Before they could react, Song Zizhou and others immediately put on the masks they had prepared.

Thick white smoke rose up, and Xu Tianlin and his men had no power to fight back. In an instant, all of them fell to the ground!

Song Zizhou and the other two walked a little further away, and only came to Xu Tianlin and the others after the smoke over there dissipated.

Song Qing stretched out his foot and kicked Xu Tianlin, grinning, "Brother Zizhou, look, they fainted!"

Song Mingxuan sneered, "Do you really think we're unprepared? You're such a bunch of idiots."

Song Zizhou said, "Hurry up and tie them up, otherwise they will wake up."

Now they are unconscious, so it is the easiest time to deal with them. But if we wait until they wake up, we will inevitably have to fight with them.

Not only is it a waste of time, but it's also a waste of energy.

Song Mingxuan and Song Qing immediately went to find six ropes and tied the six thieves to the pillars.

Not knowing what would happen in the second half of the night, the three of them did not go into the inn to rest, but stayed here all night.

At dawn, Song Mingxuan yawned and couldn't bear it any longer, so he got into the carriage and went to sleep.

Since everyone was still asleep, Song Zizhou naturally couldn't leave, so he let Song Qing go and rest first, and then he continued to guard. After Song Qian, Song Jingmo, Song Chuxue and the others came out, he went back to the carriage to sleep.

Song Qian and Song Jingmo just watched these thieves. After Song Yao and the others arrived, Song Qian asked Song Yao what to do next.

Song Yao said, "Then we can only take them to Pingyang County. However, if we do that, we will have to give them food, which is a bit of a loss."

They wanted to steal her supplies and send them to see the officials, and she would have to provide them with food and drink. The more she thought about it, the less cost-effective it seemed.

Song He said, "Sister, why don't you just cripple their arms and legs and leave them here."

Song Yao glanced at Song He. She was a young girl and looked so kind and gentle on the surface, but she never thought that such cruel words could come out of her mouth.

However, they were living in a chaotic world, and if they were not ruthless, they would probably die within a few days.

Song Yao looked at the others, "What are your opinions?"

Zhou Yunrong said, "They are bandits. Keeping them alive will only bring disaster to the people. In my opinion, it is better to kill them directly!"

Song Lingyue said, "Ayao, they've been doing evil outside and have killed so many people. Killing them would be like avenging those innocent people who died tragically."

Yang Fuwan said, "Ayao, kill him!"

Xu Tianlin had just woken up and his face turned pale with fright when he heard what they said.

If he hadn't been tied to a pillar, he would have kowtowed to Song Yao and the others by now.

Xu Tianlin hurriedly said, "Aunt, we know we were wrong and we won't do it again. Please don't kill us!"

The others also woke up one after another. Seeing that they were going to kill them, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. Then, one by one, they begged for mercy from Song Yao and the others without thinking.

Song Yao said: "Then kill them!"

Xu Tianlin's pupils shrank, and he looked at Song Yao in astonishment, "Aunt, we haven't killed anyone, we really haven't killed anyone, please let us go!"

Song Yao didn't listen to them. She looked at Song Qian and Song Jing and said, "You two come here."

Song Jing was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "Why should I kill him?"

Su Zhen advised: "Ayao, just cripple their arms and hands, don't take their lives!"

Old Madam Song came to Song Yao and said, "Ayao, they are human beings after all. Don't harm their lives. Just teach them a lesson!"

Xu Tianlin and the others were extremely scared and cried with tears and snot.

Song Yao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Tianlin and the others. "If I don't harm your lives, are you willing to mend your ways?"

Xu Tianlin nodded repeatedly, "I do, auntie, I do!"

Zhou Peng cried and said, "Auntie, I am willing too!"

Shan Yanghui said: "Auntie, as long as you don't harm our lives, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

Seeing that they were sincerely repentant, Song Yao said, "How about this? I'll cripple one arm from each of you. What do you think?"

Xu Tianlin's eyes showed astonishment. "Auntie, this hand has been cut off. What will we do in the future? Auntie, please be a good person and let us go. I swear, I will never do anything that harms the world again!"

"That won't do!" Song Yao said, "We're leaving soon, so we naturally can't trust you. So your hands must be crippled!"

Shan Yanghui cried, "Aunt, if you cut off our hands, we will bleed to death. Aunt, please be a good person and let us go!"

Song Yao thought about it and agreed. If they chopped off their hands, it would indeed be a bit bloody. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's break their hands. They have been doing evil for so long, and this is retribution."

They can still do things without bloodshed.

Immediately, Song Qian, Song Jing, Song Jingmo and others came over, each holding a stone, and directly crippled the hands of these thieves in front of Song Yao and others.
