After counting the money, it''s time to count the heads.


    Lioness, Moira, Pluto, guatel and chuyt, needless to say, according to the merit standard formulated by Manda, chuyt received a third-class merit and the rest received a fourth-class merit.


    Each of the 50 thieves who took part in the operation also received a reward of 20 gold coins.


    Manda not only gave them money, but also gave them a way out: "you can''t stay in Wangdu. If someone sees you, they will find you sooner or later. You know what the consequences are. You can''t escape the gallows.


    I can give you a way out. Tomorrow, a caravan will go to Qixing mountain. I will put you in the caravan. When you arrive at Qixing mountain, you will become the people in my territory and the soldiers I trust most. You will get the house, land, wealth with me and witness the value of life.


    Of course, if you don''t want to go to the Seven Star Mountain, you can also leave the king capital with gold coins and live the life you want. After I finish, you can choose which way to go. "


    The fifty thieves looked at each other and could see that many people didn''t want to go to the Seven Star Mountain, but no one dared to say it first.


    Manda spread out her hand and said, "don''t worry, I''m a tolerant person. No matter what choice you make, I won''t care."


    A man in his forties stood up and said to Manda, "Sir, forgive me for not accepting your kindness. I don''t want to go to such a distant place as Qixing mountain. Of course, I won''t stay in Wangdu. I want to buy a piece of land in the countryside and cultivate it well. I''ve been a thief for 20 years. This is the day I dream of."


    "Yes." Manda nodded and pointed to Pluto standing at the door.


    Pluto gave him a purse. The middle-aged man opened it and counted the gold coins in it. There were exactly twenty.


    "Thank you for your generosity!" the middle-aged man saluted Manda again and left the house immediately.


    In front of the house is a forest, through which is the king''s capital. When the middle-aged man just came out of the door, Tokara standing on the big tree opened a long bow and shot an arrow through his head.


    After being a thief for 20 years, do you want to live a peaceful life now? Who would believe it? Manda doesn''t believe it anyway.


    Prodigal son turning back is a difficult and complex process, and the probability of occurrence is very low. Manda never places her hope on small probability events. According to normal inference, the man would sneak back to Wangdu, do what he wanted with 20 gold coins, drink, gamble, find a girl, and continue to be a thief when the money ran out.


    In this process, he is likely to expose his identity. Once arrested, he will find Manda''s head without suspense. It''s better to keep him from speaking than to pray that he would rather die than surrender.


    Toka shook the branch, and bigda, hiding under the tree, carried the body into the forest with two men.


    Before long, two more young men walked in the room. Toka opened his bow again, and one arrow exploded their heads. This time, he made a hasty move, and a young man''s blood flowed all over the ground.


    Immediately following them, another man came out of the house and saw the blood on the ground. He seemed to realize something. He wanted to run back to the house. Toka opened his bow and shot through his throat.


    It''s too late to repent. From the moment we walked out of the door, it was too late.


    Twenty two of the fifty thieves chose to quit. Without exception, they died under the arrow of Toka. The remaining 28 people will follow the caravan to Qixing mountain.


    "Before you start, there is another important thing to do. After this, you will officially become my people. Read aloud with me. Thank the great Hermes and thank you for giving me the value of life..."


    After leading the people to say prayers three times, Manda left the house and went deep into the forest to check the disposal of the body.


    Bigda set up a firewood pile, and guatel quickly burned 22 bodies to ashes with second-order skills.


    Pluto sighed: "it''s a pity that these people dare to fight and become good soldiers with a little training."


    Moira said to Manda, "you can kill one or two in front of everyone, and the others will know how to choose."


    Manda shook her head and said, "I don''t like forcing others. I don''t really want anyone who follows me."


    Moira glanced and whispered, "what do I do?"


    "Don''t talk too much." the lion girl twisted a small loop under Mo Aila''s waist, and Mo Aila turned her eyes with pain.


    ……


    Late at night, worm was cleaning the wine utensils. The business of the tavern was good. There was no other entertainment in the mountains. Soldiers and slaves wanted to come here for a drink after a day''s work. This was also the only place where slaves were not discriminated against.


    After cleaning the tavern, worm returned to his bedroom. Before blowing out the candles, he recited "heroes from ancient times" and opened the Styx island.


    There is a letter on the island. The first line of the letter reads: "let Stanley recruit."


    The next morning, Werm conveyed Manda''s message to Stanley. Stanley smiled bitterly and said, "recruiting troops and horses? How can it be so easy? It needs money to feed the army. Where is the money? Look at that Silva. It''s hard to talk. It takes half a day to ask for another gold coin."


    "Don''t worry about the money," said worm. "Manda said. Ten thousand gold coins will be sent soon."


    "Ten thousand gold coins?" said Stanley in amazement. "How many days has he been to the king''s capital? Can the king grow gold?"


    Wang Du can indeed plant gold. Looking at the majestic capital, Manda seems to see a field full of gold, waiting for him to harvest at any time.


    Back to the official residence, I just got out of the carriage and saw two law enforcement officers beating a beggar.


    "I told you to go away. Can''t you hear me? Go away quickly!"


    The beggar held his head and shouted, "I''m just begging here. I didn''t hurt anyone. Why should you hit me!"


    Manda asked the sheriff to stop. The sheriff explained awkwardly, "Sir, this man has been lying here since last night. We have driven him several times. He just doesn''t go, and we don''t want to do it to him."


    Manda squatted in front of the beggar, looked at his face full of dirt, looked at his ragged clothes, and finally stopped her eyes on his chest.


    "Chuyt, do you think his skills are better than yours?" asked Manda.


    "How can I say that?" chuyt, an expert in Yi Rong, didn''t find any flaws in the beggar.


    But Manda found it. He saw each other''s God blood stone. This is a third-order believer.


    Why do third-order believers dress up as beggars and beg in front of his door?


    The reason is unknown, but there''s no need to ask. Just kill it.


    Manda stretched out her finger and was about to stab the other party in the throat. Suddenly, she heard the other party shout, "Sir, what do you want to do?"


    "What do I want to do...?"


    I forgot, I forgot.


    Manda smiled. He knew who the man was. The only imperfection of the whole operation was to let the guy escape. Unexpectedly, he came to the door himself.


    Manda stretched out her fingers again and said grimly, "don''t talk to me. Let me give you a good time."


    "Please wait a minute, sir," said the beggar, kneeling on the ground. "I''m not here to die. Please give me a chance to finish."
