Zhang Zhong and Zhang Tu guard the camp gate when three disguised peddlers arrive. They claim to be locals wanting to sell goods, but Zhang Zhong suspects they are spies. Gu Jinli confirms their suspicions, identifying them as spies from the Rong People’s Witch Army. She devises a plan to capture them with the help of Aunt Xiong and other women, while also instructing Mrs. Han to keep Ji Zhenniang quiet.

Bang! Gu Jinli slapped the armrest of the chair, pointed at them, and shouted angrily: "You three fart, this isn’t the first time you’ve smelled the scent from this lady, what are you pretending?!"

The three Rong People’s Witch Army sensed that the ugly woman’s words were off, they suppressed their nausea and turned back to laugh and ask: "What does lady mean by this? When have we met? Could it have been near the city gate or in front of the relay station? We also carry goods to sell over there."

When they spoke, they dared not look directly at Gu Jinli, really because the pus on her face was too disgusting. A glance always made them feel like they were looking at a toad, a pus-covered toad at that, ugh!

"Ha, you’ve been exposed by me, and you’re still pretending?" Gu Jinli sneered, ordering Zhang Zhong: "Ring the gong and gather the people, catch these three fierce bandits from the Eagle Food Gang, and give them a good beating first!"

The three Rong People’s Witch Army were stunned, did this ugly woman mistake them for fierce bandits from the Eagle Food Gang?

Dong dong dong!

Zhang Zhong immediately rang the gong, loudly shouting: "Assembly, all soldiers in the camp quickly grab your weapons and assemble, spies of the Eagle Food Gang’s fierce bandits have come!"

As soon as the copper gong sounded, the soldiers in the camp immediately grabbed their weapons and charged like the wind, directly surrounding the old courtyard with large knives pointed at the three Rong People’s Witch Army, yelling: "Bold bandits, still dare to disguise as peddlers to harm us, are you truly not done yet?!"

Erqing had already arrived with Mrs. Kuang and the others.

Mrs. Kuang heard this and shouted: "Why waste words with them? The bandits killed so many of us, and even spoiled the relatives who accompanied us. Hurry up and charge, we can’t wait for them to reincarnate, right?!"

She then called to the women: "Ladies, show them your skills from fighting in the village, kill these bandits, avenge the relatives who were wronged, go!"

Mrs. Kuang shouted in a loud voice, leading the charge with a clay basin in hand.

The three Rong People’s Witch Army hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are not bandit spies, we are just..."

Crash! Before finishing their words, Mrs. Kuang smashed a clay basin onto one of their heads.

Mrs. Kuang lifted her sturdy leg and kicked hard, almost turning Jin Huaisu into an eunuch.

Jin Huaisu broke out in a cold sweat, before he could speak, Mrs. Kuang grabbed a wooden stick and pummeled his head and face, cursing: "Bastard born of a bitch, sterile eunuch, wasn’t satisfied robbing us once in Hundred Wolves County, now wants to rob again, this time I’ll show you the power of Southern women!"

Bang bang bang, Qiaozi’s wife was also hitting Jin Huaisu while agreeing: "Company Commander’s Wife is right, we Southern women may be alluring and delicate, but we are not to be bullied, kill these bandits so they can’t harm people again!"

Pah!

Jin Huaisu was almost driven mad, how do you ugly, stinky, bulging women have the face to call yourselves alluring and delicate? You are delicate ghosts!

Bam! A young Rong People’s Witch Army couldn’t resist and struck back, breaking the wooden stick aimed at him with one palm. Just as he was about to draw his knife to kill, Jin Huaisu rushed at him, squeezing his arm hard to calm him, to not kill.

If their identities were exposed, the General would slaughter them, and their families would be shamed, turning into base slaves.

Though young, the soldier was trained as a Witch Army, quickly suppressing his anger and shouting: "Aunties and sisters-in-law, spare us, we are peddlers selling goods, not bandits!"

Gu Jinli hurled a chair at the speaker, breaking it with a crash: "Still dare to lie, think we’ll fall for it a second time?"

She smashed and then ran, calling to the other women: "Everyone, hit hard, don’t hold back, if they’re not dead, keep hitting!"

Mrs. Kuang and the others, reminded of the bandits’ viciousness, hit even harder, beating the three unconscious.

Zhang Zhong wiped a cold sweat, thinking: Struck too hard, lucky they weren’t killed, or how would the act continue?

Mrs. Kuang and her group didn’t know the three were spies from the Rong People’s Witch Army, truly believing they were bandits, frightened after the beating.

Aunt Han also knocked one out and now asked Gu Jinli fearfully: "Mrs. Qin, we’ve beaten the fierce bandits of the Eagle Food Gang, won’t they summon thousands of bandits to kill us? What do we do?!"

Gu Jinli said: "Aunt Han, no need to worry, the Eagle Food Gang has a rival called Rongshan Gang, those two bandit gangs are always killing each other, they are busy and don’t have enough manpower to avenge the White Wolf Village’s bandits. Once these three bandit spies wake, we’ll release them, send a message to the fierce bandit leader, that we should coexist peacefully in the future, it should work."

"Will, will it work? I think you are tricking us?" Aunt Han doubted, feeling they were doomed.

Gu Jinli glanced at her and said: "It’s come to this, we can only do so. If we kill them or send them to the government, it will only further anger the Eagle Food Gang."

The women weren’t foolish, heard this reasoning and felt it made sense.

"Well, peace breeds wealth, let’s show goodwill to the Eagle Food Gang first. If they won’t let us go, then we’ll fight them to the end!" Mrs. Kuang said, the women agreed.

As for the soldiers, most were from the Qin Family Camp, naturally inclined to listen to Gu Jinli, especially since their relatives survived the journey, all thanks to the Gu Family.

Seeing no objections, Gu Jinli ordered: "Bring them and wake them up."

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Several buckets of icy well water were poured over, waking the three Rong People’s Witch Army.

Gu Jinli said: "We do not wish to feud with the Eagle Food Gang, initially destroy Hundred Wolves Mountain bandit camp since they robbed us first, we only retaliated for self-defense. Now all bandits in Hundred Wolves Mountain are dead, let’s let this matter rest. Quickly leave, tell my words to your boss, we stick to our own territories from now, how’s that?!"

The ’how’s that’ was asked fiercely, surrounding the soldiers roared, advancing with blades, about to chop them if they didn’t agree.

"Mrs. Qin speaks reasonably, we will relay your words to Lord Ying." Jin Huaisu adapted and said: "In fact, our Eagle Food Gang also doesn’t want to oppose the Kangrong soldiers, it’s just that old grudges were formed, we had to watch you. Now that you are willing to make peace, naturally, it’s best."

Gu Jinli said: "Since you agreed, hurry and leave."

The three Rong People’s Witch Army felt pardoned, quickly ran, covered in wounds, even leaving their loads behind, as they couldn’t carry them.

...

After leaving, they first disguised themselves, ensuring they weren’t followed by camp soldiers, then went to Yang Family to report to Tuogude.

Jin Huaisu said: "General, judging from their attitudes, they mistook us as revenge bandits from Eagle Food Gang, didn’t suspect us as Rong people."

Tuogude, hearing this, his sharp eyes showed a hint of joy: "They have a grudge with the Eagle Food Gang."
