A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

This time, they not only captured more than two thousand people, but also obtained more than a thousand warhorses.

With weapons, supplies, and tents readily available, the vanguard of just over ten thousand men had already suffered a heavy blow.

Bao Beibei smiled and ruffled Jiang Xinyu's hair as she yawned.

"You've been busy all night, so go back to the city and sleep with the people from the Eastern Depot. I'll stay here and have a date with my dear husband."

However, your Marquis Zhenguo probably still has work to do, so he probably won't be able to sleep with you.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the surroundings with disdain and pouted, "I know you're in love, but you don't have to be so inseparable. What kind of environment is this for a date?"

If you ask me, you might as well come back with me and catch up on your sleep.

A date should be romantic, like under the moonlit flowers. I doubt my cousin would have the time to be all lovey-dovey with you in this place full of corpses.

"I have the time, isn't that enough?"

Bao Beibei took a deep breath, "After every big battle, my adrenaline surges. If Ah Huan wasn't busy with other things, I would have wanted to have sex with him too."

Jiang Xinyu's somewhat drowsy mind took a while to process before she remembered that Wang Huan was Liu Xu's alias.

Seeing Bao Beibei shake her head with a lewd and helpless smile,

"I don't understand, but I respect your blessing. I'll go back to town to catch up on my sleep while you continue playing."

Take it easy, my cousin's only human body can't take your abuse after fighting all night.

After teasing Bao Beibei, Jiang Xinyu squeezed Xiao Yuan's hand.

"Don't overwork yourself. Go back as soon as you've finished arranging things."

Xiao Yuan gave a gentle "hmm" and selected twelve guards to escort his wife back.

Bao Beibei waved her hand dismissively, and the smile on her face only faded after Jiang Xinyu left.

"Little Raindrops went back to find Xu Zuyin, and we'll discuss how to deal with these prisoners."

Xiao Yuan's heart sank when he saw Bao Beibei's expression suddenly change.

"Did you deliberately send Yu'er away?"

"There's no need for that. It's not like she's never seen blood before."

Bao Beibei sneered, "I've known her longer than you have. Just because you slept with her for two years doesn't mean you know her better than me."

My daughter Yudian's thought process is different from most people's.

In ordinary households, it was common for a maidservant who stole her master's belongings to be beaten to death or sold off.

But if Xiaodie and the others steal Yudian's things, the most severe punishment this girl can give them is to return their indentures and let them go.

We might even have to give them a few taels of silver to prevent them from starving.

It has nothing to do with whether she killed two or three digits of people.

She thought that damn it, she wouldn't even blink an eye at the cost of a knife.

For example, she could bring herself to bury these Quanrong soldiers alive or skin them alive.

But I'm not going to kill the prisoners; I can't let her know what's going to happen next.

That's the good thing about my raindrop.

She'll stop things she knows in advance, but she won't complain if someone else does it without her knowledge.

This made Xiao Yuan even more curious, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he led Bao Beibei to find Xu Zuyin.

General Xu was watching the people cleaning up the battlefield, his mustache practically bristling with joy. Seeing the two approaching together, he laughed heartily.

"This victory was largely thanks to the two of you. Now that there's nothing urgent, why don't you take a rest?"

Bao Beibei waved her hand, "No rush to sleep. I finally managed to coax his wife away, and now I want to seize the time to do something naughty."

Xiao Yuan coughed lightly, "General Xu, may I have a word with you?"

Xu Zuyin was completely bewildered as he looked at the two of them, a question mark popping into his mind. Something about what they were saying sounded so off to him.

Could there be something going on between the Regent's sworn sister and the Marquis of Zhenguo? No wonder Miss Bao always goes to Xiao Yuan's place for meals instead of going to the small kitchen.

But something doesn't seem right.

These past two days, it seems that Miss Bao and the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo have a pretty good relationship.

Moreover, he only learned a few days ago that Wang Huan, whom Xiao Yuan had recommended, was actually his wife's cousin.

Rumor has it that he's currently having an ambiguous relationship with Miss Bao, but it's impossible for them to be friends...

Xiao Yuan could tell from Xu Zuyin's expression that he had misunderstood. He glared at Bao Beibei speechlessly and complained that his sister-in-law was talking nonsense.

"Why are you glaring at me? Don't think I won't hit you just because we're relatives."

Bao Beibei wasn't going to tolerate Xiao Yuan's glare, and immediately glared back when he did.

Before I got married, you were my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law.

I'm married now; I'm your cousin's wife, and you're my cousin's husband.

Even among relatives, there must be a proper order of seniority.

"If you make me unhappy, do you believe I'll steal your wife away?"

Xiao Yuan silently repeated "I won't argue with weirdos" three times, then took a deep breath.

"I was wrong, let's get down to business!"

Xu Zuyin gave an awkward laugh, trying to minimize his presence. He couldn't quite understand the way these two interacted.

Is it a good match or a bad match?

It's not really a matter of whether they get along or not; they're just on the same side but can't stand each other.

An annoying sister-in-law who, despite being a man, doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and is always clinging to her wife.

He's not sweet-talking enough, not handsome enough, not young enough, and doesn't even have a penis—a cheap brother-in-law.

It's already good enough that these two don't undermine each other or speak ill of each other.

Bao Beibei was unwilling to suffer any loss, and only when she saw Xiao Yuan back down did she bring up the serious matter she wanted to discuss.

The question is, what should be done with the two thousand prisoners of war from the Quanrong?

Xu Zuyin frowned upon hearing this, "Medicines are precious at the border, so they can't be given to prisoners of war."

Those with minor injuries are left aside; they might live, but they're not truly dead.

For those who are seriously injured, simply finish them off by digging a grave for their untimely death and throwing them in.

Those who were basically fine were the troublesome ones. In the past, the few prisoners were mostly thrown into the mines to work as slaves and do hard labor.

This time, with so many people, things are not easy to handle.

Once the imperial army withdraws, the people left on the border will not be able to keep an eye on so many slaves, and a riot would be more of a loss than a gain.

But if we kill them all…

Xiao Yuan shook his head. "Killing prisoners is a double-edged sword."

Killing this person will indeed deter the Quanrong and prevent them from easily invading our Great Jin.

But it will also ignite their determination to resist.

Since they would die anyway if captured, the Quanrong soldiers would fight with all their might.

The difficulty of future wars will increase dramatically.

Xu Zuyin nodded in agreement, “That makes sense, but besides the seriously injured, there are still nearly 1,800 people. How should we settle these people?”

Giving them food is a waste of resources, but not giving them food will definitely cause a fuss.

Bao Beibei revealed a strange, cold smile.

"Of course we can't kill them. It would be such a waste to kill someone we finally managed to capture."

They were all pillars of their families, with parents, wives, and children. The Great Jin Dynasty, a land of etiquette, could not emulate those barbarians, the Quanrong.

May Buddha have mercy; after all, it's a human life. I believe the Quanrong king would be willing to spend money to ransom his soldiers.

Let's set a price!

How much does it cost for a car with all its feathers and tail intact? How much for a car with minor injuries? How much for a car with serious injuries?

Don't rush to bury the dead. Ask them if they want the corpse; they'll sell it for half price.

Oh, by the way, single out those who hold some official positions or come from good families.

Nobles have to pay a price.

The meals we ate these days also need to be counted; two steamed buns and a bowl of thin porridge per person per day cost one hundred coins.

"If the person is not redeemed within ten days, the penalty will be doubled."

Xu Zuyin clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, great, great idea!"

If the Quanrong king does not ransom the prisoners, their families will surely harbor resentment.

Not only did they lose face in front of the six states, but they also chilled the hearts of their own soldiers.

If they were ransomed, not only would it cost a fortune, but these people would also face ridicule and endless disputes upon returning to Quanrong.

Xiao Yuan looked at Bao Beibei strangely, "Is it really necessary to send my wife away for such a small matter?"

"Just tell me, what else do you want?"

A cold glint flashed in Bao Beibei's eyes. "A race that uses living people as military rations should not exist."

Regardless of whether the Quanrong king ransomed them or not, these people should be released.

But before they leave, I want them to contract...smallpox.

Xiao Yuan:

If anyone calls me a living devil, I'll drag him over here and show him what I'm made of!

God the hell have mercy on Buddha!
