Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 399 - 348: Aunt Qiu Knew She Had Ulterior Motives: "Tell Me in Detail.

The gaunt man didn’t think much, and simply said, "I warn you, today you won’t leave here alive!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the bearded man pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, what you said earlier, is it true?"

Ruan Mian hadn’t expected there to be anyone here who was sensible.

"Of course it’s true. As long as General Huo arrives here, and you surrender voluntarily, wanting to join the army, he will surely give you the opportunity."

"Pei Yan, what are you trying to do?! Are you out of your mind? Still talking about joining the army? Do you actually believe what this woman says?"

"The reason we’ve fallen to this point, do we have any retreat at all? Moreover, joining the army requires enduring a lot of hardships. Isn’t it better to rule the mountain here?"

As the gaunt man heard the bearded man implying surrender, he was so furious he started shouting on the spot.

"If you want to surrender, then get out of here! I’ll take your place as the chief!"

Finishing his words, he pointed at Ruan Mian: "Don’t think about leaving her alive, today I’ll chop you to pieces. Also, let me tell you, I’ll never surrender! I want to rule the mountain, pillage and plunder, and make all civilians bow to me!"

"General? What’s the use of that so-called General? Talking about protecting the country, I think they’re all bluffs. Even their bravado is fake!"

Seeing that Ruan Mian was unfazed by his words, he began to threaten her.

"Don’t think I’m helpless just because I’m under the influence of your drugs now. Listen carefully, I’ve killed countless women, one more doesn’t matter!"

If you honestly tell me now where you stole our supplies, I’ll give you a decent burial."

"If you don’t speak up, then today I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the wild dogs!!"

But before he could finish speaking, Ruan Mian suddenly rushed towards him and slit his throat to end it.

He had done evil deeds for a long time, and now, even with such words, leaving him alive would only be a disaster!

The man hadn’t even reacted, clutching his bleeding throat, eyes wide open, incredulous at how fast this woman’s move was.

He hadn’t even responded, and he was already dead.

The man’s mouth opened, but before he could speak, he was already lying in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the bearded man’s face turned pale! He immediately clasped his hands in salute.

"Miss, I truly don’t want to be a bandit and commit robberies. But in troubled times, calamities come along, I had no choice but to walk this wrong path to survive."

"Thanks to the young lady’s guidance, I wish to lead the brothers, wait for General Huo to arrive, and join the army immediately! By taking the right path, we can ease our conscience a little."

Ruan Mian knew he cherished his life and was willing to give him this chance, especially since killing so many people was unnecessary.

She wasn’t a killer who slaughters the innocent.

Utilizing them for good was naturally better.

She glanced around and only asked, "Where are Aunt Qiu and the others?"

The bearded man quickly said, "Those two are also amongst the group."

There were too many people here, it was hard to find them quickly. But Ruan Mian figured the time was about right and said to the bearded man.

"Watch those two for me. Once General Huo arrives here, he will surely take them away. When the General asks, you’ve returned the supplies to Jinsha Village, don’t need to mention me."

"You’re a smart man, you should understand what I mean."

The bearded man nodded quickly; this woman was no ordinary person at first glance. Although he didn’t understand why she didn’t want him to mention her, he strictly followed Ruan Mian’s instructions.

After Ruan Mian left, before dawn, Huo Zong indeed brought his men here.

But what surprised them was that when they arrived, they found all the bandits were waiting for them.

Without requiring them to act, the bandits had already voluntarily surrendered.

"General! We’ve sent people to return the supplies to Jinsha Village. We’re willing to follow the General, join the army, protect the nation! We hope the General can give us a way to survive!"

"We realize our mistakes, but we previously committed robberies out of necessity. Now, we only hope for a chance to correct our errors and ease our minds a bit."

Huo Zong was taken aback; although there were many doubts, seeing their sincerity, and since there were no other traps, he agreed.

His original intention was to recruit people.

Now, with the court situation unstable, their army hasn’t had newcomers for years, and their numbers are clearly insufficient.

If enemies invade the frontier again, they might not be able to hold.

The more personnel, the better.
