Qin San Lang discovered that Ding Family had sent people to attack Gu Jinli. He devised a plan to have You Ping wear his armor and draw enemy attention, while he went to assassinate Ding Ge. Ding Ge, severely injured, realized his family's betrayal of the Kangrong army was exposed and wanted Qin San Lang, Niu Dabao, Xie Cheng, and Liu dead. Qin San Lang found Ding Ge and Uncle Dong, quickly killed Uncle Dong, and then confronted Ding Ge. Despite Ding Ge's pleas, Qin San Lang avenged Gu Jinli and decapitated Ding Ge. Qin San Lang then killed the Second Village Chief with an arrow and announced Ding Ge's death to the Qianyang County soldiers before escaping with Ding Ge's head.

"Lord Company Commander is dead?!" The soldiers of Qianyang County were shocked. Wasn’t the Lord Company Commander the one who recruited thousands of bandits for help and had impressive skills? How could he possibly be dead?

However, the soldiers of Qianyang County recognized Qin San Lang’s voice, and upon looking towards the sound and seeing the person on horseback holding a head, they believed the claim that Ding Ge had been killed.

Back when Qin San Lang was in the garrison at the Prefecture’s military camp, his skills were already formidable. He had defeated Ding Ge twice, except during archery where he lost twice.

"Ding Ge is dead, Ding Ge is really dead, killed by Company Commander Qin!" The soldiers of Qianyang County were thrown into chaos, stopping their battle and ceasing their desperate fight against Niu Dabao and his gang.

Elder Ge is dead?

The Ding Family people were in utter shock, turning to look at the horse-riding Qin San Lang. After seeing the head in his hands, their hearts went cold.

But they could not lose. If they lost, the entire Ding Family would be finished.

"The head is fake, keep killing! Kill the Kangrong Soldiers, and the Ding Family will give each of you twenty taels of gold!" Ding Changsheng continued to incite the soldiers of Qianyang County, urging them to help the Ding Family kill the enemy. He also said, "Don’t be afraid, we still have the bandits from the Hundred Wolves Mountain Nine Villages helping us. We will not lose; victory is certain!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A rain of arrows was shot towards Ding Changsheng, as You Ping and his men began their attack, echoing Qin San Lang’s words: "Ding Ge is dead, surrender quickly, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The soldiers of Qianyang County were thrown into turmoil, completely unsure of whom to listen to.

Seeing this, Qin San Lang shouted loudly, "Soldiers of Qianyang County who don’t want to implicate their families, immediately retaliate against the Ding Family people and the bandits for achievements!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Chief Commander also shouted to the soldiers of Qianyang County, "Brothers, for the sake of your families, stop helping the Ding Family. Quickly kill the Ding Family people and earn merits with your redemption!"

After hearing this, the soldiers of Qianyang County no longer hesitated, raising their blades against the Ding Family people: "Kill, kill the Ding Family people and earn merits with redemption!"

Seeing this, Ding Changsheng immediately led his men to counterattack, and both sides clashed fiercely again.

Qin San Lang pointed towards the direction of the bandits, ordering, "You Ping, Hong Dao, Zhang Zhong, take your men and slaughter this group of bandits!"

"Yes." Responded You Ping and Hong Dao, immediately commanding their subordinates, "Archers, turn, aim, and release arrows!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows rained down towards the bandits, and after three waves of arrow rain, dozens of bandits fell.

You Ping immediately led his men into battle, mercilessly slashing at the still-stunned bandits, the sound of heavy blades cutting into bones echoing in his ears.

Ah—!

The bandits screamed in agony, falling over another dozen.

"Don’t panic, damn it, everyone stay calm, bring out the fierce force like when you rob, first surround a few leaders, then kill those crippled soldiers!" The Fifth Tribe Chief shouted loudly, beginning to command the bandits to kill You Ping and his team.

The bandits, having some skill, split into two groups. One group surrounded the formidable You Ping and his men, trying to stall for time, while the others went to kill Zhang Zhong and his group.

These soldiers from the Military Office could not be as formidable as You Ping and his team.

But the bandits were wrong. Zhang Zhong and his men were brought up by Qin San Lang and were much more formidable than other soldiers from the Military Office, especially Hong Dao, who roared like a tiger, directly pouncing on horseback bandits, pulling them off, and slashing down on the other horseback bandits nearby with a blade.

The soldiers under his command imitated him as well, each one turning into wild beasts, using such savage tactics.

"Damn it, Hu Xiaosi, you’re looking for death! What are you slashing the horses for? The horse is more valuable than you, it should be kept for use! Slash people, understand slashing people!" Hong Dao nearly went berserk with anger when he saw his Section Leader’s soldiers injure the horses.

Hu Xiaosi said, "I slashed wrong, I slashed wrong, it wasn’t on purpose."

I care for the horse, too.

"Master, we’re here to help!" Just as things were getting exciting, You Xi arrived with his men, his team even stronger, all trained by Qin San Lang to assassin standards, and after a bout of slashing, dozens more bandits were dead or injured.

Seeing this, the other soldiers from the Prefecture’s Military Office, like finding a backbone, all gathered, carrying the military flag: "Quick, come over to the He’an Prefecture soldiers, these people here are formidable!"

General Guo gave the He’an Prefecture garrison military flag to Qin San Lang, and Qin San Lang always had the soldiers hold the flag high, never letting it fall for even a moment.

With this shout, the soldiers in the distance saw the He’an Prefecture garrison military flag and the situation here with bandits being pressed, and they immediately rushed over.

In just over a moment, Qin San Lang’s side gathered over a thousand soldiers, along with hundreds of soldiers’ family members.

Seeing more and more soldiers gathering, and realizing that Qin San Lang and his team were truly fierce, with Ding Ge already dead and Lord Dong’s whereabouts unknown, they figured they might not get the promised gold if they kept helping the Ding Family, making this a futile sacrifice.

Is it possible for them to do such a futile job?

"Retreat! Quickly retreat!" The Fifth Tribe Chief immediately mounted his horse, calling for the bandits to flee. As for the Second Village Chief, he was already dead and didn’t need to be concerned.

But Qin San Lang had been watching him. Seeing him try to escape, he stuffed Ding Ge’s head into the bag on the horse’s back, turned his horse, and chased after him.

The Fifth Tribe Chief, seeing Qin San Lang catching up, was terrified, hastily ordering the bandits, "Stop him! Half of the gold and women from the village will be yours!"

This Qin fellow was too formidable, having not only killed Ding Ge but also shot and killed his second brother with an arrow. If he were caught by him, he would surely die. To save his own life, the Fifth Tribe Chief could only give up the gold and women.

The bandits, tempted, quickly formed a human wall to block Qin San Lang, but Qin San Lang, intent on a swift victory, did not retreat and continued chasing down the Fifth Tribe Chief. When he was about to reach the bandits, he suddenly turned his horse to the side, shouting, "Release arrows!"

You Ping’s men immediately released their arrows, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and the final wave of arrow rain fell, catching the bandits off guard.

After being blocked like this, Qin San Lang successfully got around the human wall, catching up to the Fifth Tribe Chief.

The Fifth Tribe Chief had only three confidants protecting him, but those three confidants were clearly no match for Qin San Lang. In just two strikes, two of the confidants were knocked off their horses, and the remaining one dared not advance.

"Yangzi, you bastard, hurry up and get in there!" The Fifth Tribe Chief was furious, commanding Yangzi, but Yangzi only made a perfunctory attempt to block Qin San Lang, without really fighting.

Whoosh, Qin San Lang’s Tang Blade shot out like an arrow, piercing straight into the back of the Fifth Tribe Chief.

"Ah!" The Fifth Tribe Chief screamed, tumbling off his horse and scrambling towards the nearby Dead Tree Forest with his hands and feet.

But Qin San Lang quickly caught up with him, mercilessly trampling over him with his horse.

The Fifth Tribe Chief’s eyes bulged, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from his mouth, rendering him completely crippled.

Qin San Lang dismounted, walked over, hauled the Fifth Tribe Chief onto his horse, and brought him back.

He was like a King Yan, encountering a few bandits along the way back; those bandits didn’t dare retaliate, all knelt and begged for mercy: "Lord, spare us, we just took gold to help the Ding Family, we didn’t really intend to go against you, please don’t kill us!"

Qin San Lang needed living witnesses to expose the Ding Family’s collusion with bandits in murdering Kangrong Soldiers, so he didn’t kill them but severed their tendons to prevent further crimes.
