Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious!

Tang Erniu looked around and realized that everyone around him was originally brought by the village chief, with only two or three newcomers like himself!

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel touched, knowing that Su Luo's actions showed a kind of trust in him!

"Don't worry, village chief, I will absolutely not let this slip!"

Others responded at that moment.

A solemn atmosphere permeated the air.

Su Luo said, "Just now, it was the personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan's residence! What are they doing here?"

"We've come to demand our people back, we've come to demand our money back!"

"They don't want much, thirty people and three hundred taels of silver!"

"But the people they want are for mining..."

Su Luo already knew this information.

Upon hearing this, Tang Erniu's eyes immediately turned red, and he trembled with rage: "Damn you!"

"Village chief, we can't agree to their demands. If we do, whoever goes will be doomed..."

As a resident of Xiaoyun Village, he certainly knew what this mining operation meant.

The young people from Xiaoyun Village were taken away to work in the mines and have not returned yet.

Su Luo said calmly, "Of course I won't give them to them. If I give them to them so easily, they will be even more outrageous next time!"

"And on what grounds?!"

"I've received word that the reason they've come to us this time is because the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, Su Xuan, has lost money!"

"And one person can be worth five hundred taels of silver in the mine! That's why Marquis Sinan has his eye on us!"

"As for the three hundred taels, it was just that the group of guards from the Marquis's mansion wanted to embezzle them!"

"But no matter what, it wasn't our mistake, so why should we make up for it?! It wasn't our loss, so why should we have to pay for it?!"

As Su Luo said this, a chilling aura emanated from him: "Therefore, I am preparing to take action against the Marquis's personal guards!"

Upon hearing this, the thirty people in front of him all became solemn!

Because everyone knows what it means to take action against the Marquis's personal guards... it means declaring war on the Marquis of Sinan!

Su Luo said in a deep voice, "When I trained troops in Xiaoyun Village, some people said I was plotting a rebellion, and some said I had ulterior motives... But in reality, I was doing it more to protect myself!"

"It's also to prepare for situations like today's!"

"Why should I force the villagers to hand over their wages and be sent to mine just because of a single word from the Marquis of Sinan? Aren't they human beings?!"

"Why should I hand over the money just because of a word from Marquis Sinan? Do you think this money is so easy to earn?"

"I'm not convinced! I believe you're just as unconvinced as I am!"

"Therefore, I want to rebel! But if the rebellion fails... perhaps, the consequences will be dire!"

"Perhaps we'll all be torn to pieces!"

“I don’t know what the consequences will be… but I feel that if I want to live with my head held high, I have to take action!”

hiss!

Ye Hu gasped and said, "Young Master, if I were still rational, I would tell you that we are not strong enough right now..."

"But, son-in-law, I'm not a rational person! They've come to bully us right on our doorstep. If we back down today, will we back down next time?!"

"I think you're right, son-in-law. This time, we need to take the initiative!"

Hearing Ye Hu speak up, the others echoed him, nodding in agreement: "I think Boss Ye Hu is right, and the son-in-law is right too!"

"On what grounds? Why should everything we have be destroyed just because of one sentence he uttered!"

"Therefore, we must resist!"

Tang Erniu, also deeply moved, shouted, "Village Chief, whatever you say, whatever you want to do, we will absolutely respond!"

"You're right, that Marquis of Sinan... he's gone too far! We must resist!"

Seeing this scene, Su Luo smiled and said, "Alright, since no one has any objections, I'll proceed with the arrangements..."

……

Soon, Su Luo led Zhang Daqiang and thirty others back to the village entrance.

The group of guards from the Marquis's residence were somewhat surprised to see Tang Erniu and his companions. "Hmph, they're all quite plump and strong..."

"Where's the money?!" They looked at Su Luo again, and when Su Luo took out a bag, they immediately snatched it away.

They didn't take Su Luo seriously at all!

"Okay, I'm leaving..."

With a shout, the group of guards from the Marquis's residence left on their own, and as they went, various mocking voices could be heard: "Heh, I told you that bastard wouldn't dare to resist!"

"Resist? What right does he have to resist? He was banished to this wretched place by the First Madam; he was doomed to die anyway..."

"Heh heh, three hundred taels? I didn't expect that. Well then, we can go to the brothel for a drink when we get back to Linshui County tonight!"

"..."

The sounds, almost without any concealment, drilled into Su Luo's ears.

Su Luo stood there, but her face showed little anger; instead, it was surprisingly calm.

Only after everyone's figures disappeared did he set off, stepping out of the village and heading straight into the dense forest.

……

The arrival of these guards from the Marquis's residence in Xiaoyun Village meant that Su Changsheng was nearby.

There must be many more personal guards around him.

Therefore, if these guards of the Marquis's mansion die at the entrance of Xiaoyun Village, or go missing... it will cause trouble.

To kill them, we must combine the advantages of location and popular support.

A thought flashed through their minds. As the Marquis's personal guards led thirty men to a flat area, a voice rang in their ears: "Halt!"

The junior commander of the personal guards paused, a wary glint in his eyes. He then looked in the direction of the sound and sneered.

"Young Master Su Luo, what brings you here now?!"

"Is it because you feel that three hundred taels of silver is not enough, and you want to send us more?"

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Su Luo is quite capable. He can even make money in a run-down place like Xiaoyun Village. Don't worry, we will definitely tell Madam about this..."

"Have the First Madam send some people over to 'take good care' of you!"

"I just hope that Young Master Su Luo won't be so moved that he cries, hahaha..."

Various forms of ridicule arose one after another.

Su Luo stood not far from them, calmly raising his hand: "I did come to deliver something to you... but I'm here to send you on your way!"

Whoosh!

Before Su Luo could finish speaking, a bolt shot out from the composite crossbow in his hand!

Like a bolt of black lightning!

Upon seeing the familiar crossbow bolt, the junior commander of the personal guards' pupils contracted, and he suddenly realized: "You're the one who assassinated Tan Xing..."

Before he could finish speaking, the crossbow bolt had already pierced his throat!

At the same time, Ye Hu and the others also began to move, taking out their personal weapons!

"You, what do you want to do?!"

"Are you trying to rebel? Do you have a death wish?!"

The guards of the Marquis's mansion were stunned and immediately drew their weapons, wanting to fight back.
