In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mianmian moved the crosshair from Zhao Jingyuan's head to his leg.

He killed so many people, it's too good for him to just die like this. But we could break one of his legs first.

"boom!"

Another sound, just like the one before!

Zhao Jingyuan's head buzzed, and he felt a surge of heat gushing from his left leg, followed by intense pain.

He collapsed to the ground, roaring, "Which bastard is it? Coward! What are you all standing there for? Investigate now!"

The stunned soldiers snapped out of their daze and hurried to find the medicine box, while more people dispersed in a circle to begin a careful search.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mianmian could slip into Peach Blossom Spring at any time, and they searched for a long time without finding anything.

The initial joy of taking over the coal mine was instantly shattered by this death and injury.

The entire coal mine was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

"Ouch, be gentle!"

Zhao Jingyuan cursed a few times, then asked, "Where is he? Have you found him?"

Of course, the people couldn't be found. At this time, Jiang Mianmian had already found the place where the miners were being guarded.

The remaining miners were all under guard and were mining coal non-stop.

She used her mind to collect all the coal she had dug out, along with various tools and the weapons in the soldiers' hands, into Peach Blossom Spring.

The scene became chaotic.

The soldier, who was about to lash out at the miner, was stunned. Looking at his empty hand, he exclaimed, "Where...where's my whip?"

"Damn it, where did my knife go?"

"Where did all that coal go?

The miners were too frightened to move. Some remembered the mine owner's supernatural powers and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes. They didn't dare to shout, but craned their necks to look around.

Jiang Mianmian broadcast through a loudspeaker, "The Lu family army has committed arson, murder, and looting, incurring divine punishment. If you don't want to be implicated, leave immediately!"

The sound from the horn was extremely penetrating, and it was playing on a loop.

The soldiers were used to being arrogant and domineering, but not all of them were born evil. They were blinded by greed. When they heard these words, which sounded like heavenly music, they were immediately frightened. They no longer cared about the miners and began to scatter and flee for their lives.

Some people are tough, still stubbornly making threats.

Jiang Mianmian no longer held back. She had given them the chance; if they wanted to die, then she would grant their wish!

He drew his bow and shot down six or seven arrows in quick succession.

The accuracy and force were so impressive that even seasoned soldiers were astonished and dared not utter another word before turning and running away.

Many of the miners were scared away, some cleverly hiding in the mine shafts, while most huddled together in groups.

A moment later, there were no soldiers left standing.

Jiang Mianmian came out, said a few words of comfort, and then tied all these people up as slaves and led them into Peach Blossom Spring.

In Peach Blossom Spring, Shi Yi had already organized two troop formations of ten thousand men each. "Lord Fu, we can set off at any time! There are still twenty thousand men in the camp!"

In the beginning, only 80,000 people came from Fengshui County. They were all ordinary people. Not counting the elderly, women and children, there were at most 30,000 men. How come there are so many people?

Jiang Mianmian glanced around and found that there were not only all the eligible men inside, but also some rather robust women, old men, and even teenagers standing inside.

He couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and gratitude. "No rush. It's not time for you to be deployed yet. I'll come in and take you out when the time comes."

Thinking this way, Jiang Mianmian bought another 20,000 slave slots for Shi Yi. "All the civilians who participate in this battle against the Lu family army will be tied up as slaves and brought into Taoyuan first. This way, I can take everyone out. As long as they come back alive, they can be promoted to residents."

Actually, her chances of winning are quite high. No matter if Lu's army comes with 100,000 or 200,000 troops, she can just drop a nuclear bomb on them.

But that would throw the outside world into complete chaos, and it's uncertain whether she'll have enough time to escape to her paradise.

However, besides 'nuclear coexistence', she also has a large number of firearms in her warehouse, which is enough.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Mianmian took out some samples and gave them to Shi Yi, teaching him how to use them. "Study these first, so that they can be used when they match up."

Just then, several miners who had escaped from the coal mine ran to the Yuan family for help.

When they ran out, Jiang Mianmian hadn't arrived yet and didn't know that the coal mine was basically safe now. She just cried and said that the Lu family army had seized the mine and killed many people.

Upon hearing that it was the Lu family army, Master Yuan recalled the news that Jiang Mianmian had "sold" to him: soon, the Lu family army would march south to kill and plunder, using cruel methods. Many powerful families in the prefectural city would be wiped out, including the Lu family!

The coal mine is not far from the city. The Lu family army has already started committing atrocities in the coal mine, so they will definitely end up in the city!

He felt a chill run down his spine, and only now did he finally believe Jiang Mianmian's words. He dared not delay any longer, and not only summoned all the servants and guards of the Yuan family to one place, but also spread the news and united with the powerful families in the prefecture to resist together.

Yuan Pei disagreed, "Father, although the coal mine has already been given to Mianmian, since you want to be on good terms with her, you absolutely cannot sit idly by now. Why don't you give me a thousand men and I'll lead them to the coal mine for rescue? Fengshui County is far away from here. If we wait for Mianmian to find out the news before coming over, it will definitely be too late."

"You're right, I'll go too!"

In fact, Master Yuan was thinking about more than just that. He was also worried that if the prefectural city fell, it would be difficult to escape!

It would be better to go to the coal mine and wait for that girl to arrive; maybe there'll be a way out!

The two men made up their minds and sent several more men to the camp in Fengshui County to report the news. They immediately set off for the camp. In addition to the coal mine, they also sent many people to several other mines to ensure safety.

They were on their way, and Jiang Mianmian was busy.

She rescued all the miners in the coal mine, collected the coal they had dug out, and even confiscated the soldiers' weapons.

The loudspeaker played the same message several times, saying that Lu Jiajun would be punished by heaven, which scared all the soldiers away.

In the end, only Zhao Jingyuan and his few personal guards remained. "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"boom!"

Jiang Mianmian shot him in the other leg. "What right do you have to ask questions? Answer my questions now, or I'll just shoot you."

"I'd rather die than tell!"

Zhao Jingyuan glared at her fiercely. "You slut, how dare you ask me such a question?"

However, he soon saw that all his personal guards were lame and that both of his arms were broken. He was filled with fear. "Who...who are you?"

"Why ask that? How stupid."

"Stubborn as a mule, and stubborn as a mule," Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but sigh, then took out a dart. "Answer me properly, and I'll give you a quick answer. How did you find my coal mine?"

According to the route taken by Lu's army southward, it shouldn't have led them directly to the coal mine!
