“Rebellion?” Jie Chen laughed, “If you fancy trying it, be my guest.”
The unspoken words were self-explanatory.
It wasn’t that he thought Xiang Ying wouldn’t succeed; rather, he believed she wouldn’t do such a thing.
Because she followed the Exile Team with her own agenda.
Xiang Ying pursed her lips and, holding the Token, left Jie Chen’s tent.
Lu Feiyi was waiting for her nearby, and as he saw Xiang Ying emerge, he approached with a smile.
When he smiled, his eyes shone like the sun’s radiance, dazzling, and his pearly white teeth were particularly striking.
“Boss, from now on, that’s how I’ll address you.”
Xiang Ying accepted the matter and didn’t object.
She simply stated: “Tell your people that my rules are the three ‘no-go’s’: First, don’t get involved in other people’s business; second, don’t harm our own; third, don’t engage in thievery or embarrass women and children.”
Lu Feiyi chuckled: “Understood, it coincides exactly with my thoughts. We had the same rules in the village.”
“Boss can be assured, these fifty men were handpicked by me, my brothers. Though they might come from poverty, each and every one of them has principles.”
Xiang Ying was very clear about that.
Although she held the Token, she was still using Jie Chen’s influence to manage them.
In truth, these water bandits truly obeyed Lu Feiyi’s commands.
However, to get them to all listen to her wasn’t impossible either.
Xiang Ying nodded: “Later, I’ll send my Seventh Sister to negotiate with you. Bring her to meet all the brothers, she will help me record their names.”
The first step in efficient management: categorization.

That task would be assigned to the competent Seventh Princess Xiang Rongrong.
Lu Feiyi raised an eyebrow: “No problem, by the way, as a gesture of allegiance, we have a gift for our Boss.”
He gestured with his hand, and nearby, two burly men with mustaches were pressing a disheveled man closer.
Xiang Ying recognized him at a glance; he was the Military Doctor who had fled with all the medicinal herbs.
“He is Jie Chen’s man; I want nothing to do with him.”
“Vice General Jie said now, you’re our Boss, and as we’ve captured this man, he’s for you to decide his fate.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying clenched her figurative grasp harshly on the imagined cartoon of Jie Chen.
How skillful he was at passing the buck, leaving things he didn’t want to deal with for her to handle?
The Military Doctor was a Southern Yue person, and she was a Western Zhou Female Prisoner; what would others think if she dealt with him?
But Xiang Ying never cared about what others thought.
By doing this, Jie Chen seemed to be providing her with a chance for revenge.
After all, the Military Doctor had fled with medical supplies when they desperately needed treatment.
Since the opportunity landed in her hands, Xiang Ying pondered: “Lu Feiyi, call all your people to witness the fate of a traitor.”
At last, the Military Doctor struggled to free the cloth gag from his mouth.
He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly in repentance.
“Elder Princess, spare my life! I was truly terrified at that time, I had no idea you could cure the plague.”
“That’s why… out of fear of being implicated, I took the medical supplies and fled, but I never intended to harm you all.”
The wailing of the Military Doctor caught the attention of many onlookers, including both Western Zhou prisoners and Southern Yue soldiers.
They gathered around, discussing fervently—
“Isn’t this the fleeing Military Doctor? Never thought he’d be caught and brought back, but why would Vice General Jie hand him over to the Western Zhou Elder Princess for judgment?”
“The traitor who ran off with the medical supplies deserves to die a thousand times, it doesn’t matter whose hands he dies by.”
“But he’s our own after all; perhaps we should sever one of his hands, giving him another chance to live.”
Listening to these comments, Xiang Ying remained silent.
Regardless of the Military Doctor’s begging, not a wrinkle formed on her brow.
Before long, the fifty water bandit brothers led by Lu Feiyi arrived.
They formed a circle.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes were pitch-black and sharp as she approached the Military Doctor.
“I won’t cripple you, because a disability breeds hatred within the heart. Your resentment is of no use to me, nor do I wish to bring trouble upon myself.”
The Military Doctor wept and said, “Elder Princess, I beg you to be merciful! At home, I have four children and a blind elderly mother.”
“I shouldn’t have been on the battlefield. I’m already over forty, but I was forcibly conscripted by Nanyue. Before coming here, I was just an ordinary doctor in the village.”
He kowtowed and wept bitterly, “If I die, there will be no one to care for the elderly mother at home, and what will become of my four young children?”
Xiang Ying lowered her gaze, looking at him coldly.
Those around them, upon hearing the heartfelt repentance and cries of the Military Doctor, felt a wave of complex emotions.
“You’re truly pitiable,” Xiang Ying opened her red lips slightly.
But then she changed her tone, “However, take a look around you. Who among these West Zhou people isn’t pitiable?”
“If the medicines you took had been what we needed, you would have been responsible for the deaths of countless others just like you.”
“You don’t deserve sympathy.”
Having said that, Xiang Ying struck like a blade with the palm of her hand, hitting the Military Doctor’s Heart Acupoint.
Instantly, the Military Doctor’s body went stiff and rigid, eventually collapsing to the ground.
The people around gasped in shock.
What swift hands! To target someone’s Heart Acupoint so precisely, a deadly strike in one blow.
Lu Feiyi bent down to check the Military Doctor’s breathing and raised an eyebrow: “He’s gone.”
Xiang Ying brushed non-existent dust from her hands.
“Drag him away, dispose of him.”
She then turned to remind all the silent water bandits.
“Since Vice General Jie has placed you under my control, from now on you will listen to me and follow my rules.”
The water bandits quickly nodded, with the more vocal ones immediately declaring their loyalty.
“The Master has already told us, we swear to serve our leader to the death!”
Someone next to him chided, “What Master? Now, our only leader is that one!”
Xiang Ying waved her hand, summoning the Seventh Princess.
“This is my sister. You will call her Rong, and she is in charge of recording your names. Those who are listed in the register, I will consider as my own brothers.”
“Wherever there’s food for me, it will not be lacking for you,” Xiang Ying skillfully dangled the promise.
In the past, when she was a team leader in the apocalypse, she would first establish authority, then promise basic benefits.
Food is eaten one bite at a time; people are managed little by little.
Seventh Princess Xiang Rongrong, faced with the gaze of so many men, was somewhat nervous.
However, Lu Feiyi led the way with a smile, “Nice to meet you, Rong. You’re working hard.”
The rest of the water bandits called out one after another: “Nice to meet you, Rong!”
Their thunderous voices were nearly deafening.
Seventh Princess chuckled awkwardly: “Don’t be strangers…”
Some Southern Yue soldiers around them found it odd that Vice General Jie would entrust so many people to a female prisoner to manage.
But others looked disdainful.
Water bandits are just a disorganized mob, and being West Zhou people, they are no different from criminals.
Lady and Xiang Qianqian stood at a distance, watching the scene of Xiang Ying being surrounded by people.
“What you mentioned earlier, did the elder princess really do all that?” Lady was surprised, “When did she become so formidable?”
Xiang Qianqian’s face was colored with frustration: “Mother, all her previous stupidity and absurdity was likely feigned.”
“I’ve suffered under her hand several times, and now I have to play submissively. Otherwise, she’ll just kill me on the road!”
“Besides, she’s now ingratiating herself with Vice General Jie, secretly engaging with him. With such a powerful backer, she will only become more aggressive.”
Lady’s gaze turned cold.
“She wishes! When her mother was alive, she couldn’t compete with me for favor. Now that the country is in ruins, does she think she can turn the world upside down as a mere Xiang Ying?”
She comforted her daughter: “Don’t worry, Qianqian. That Vice General Jie won’t like her for long. You would never guess who was in the same Exile Team with your mother before.”
“This time, he’s here too. Once Xiang Ying sees him, I don’t believe she won’t remember their past!”
