Of course, Long Qian Xing could see Nan Luo''s murderous gaze, but he only chuckled in response.


    He pretended that he saw nothing.


    Sheng Shan Lang didn''t notice their small interaction because he was staring at the woman whom they captured. His expression lookedplicated. In the end, he sighed deeply. "So, the real leader of the bandits is actually this woman?"


    "She''s not the leader." Long Qian Xing shook his head. "You can say that she''s the one who fueled the bandits to attack the vigers."


    "Why did she target this ce, though?" Nan Luo was confused.


    "This ce is close to the border and they can also make good use of these women. As you have known, the people from Zhang Xu Kingdom can be very ruthless in regards to human''s life."


    Hearing thest sentence, they were all silent.


    They knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom was known for their medical expertise and also poison. Aside from torturing their prisoners, they could also use this knowledge to control the people whom they had captured through some unsaid means.


    It was very terrible and knowing that these women were weak physically, it would be harder for them to escape. Perhaps, their end would never be good from the moment they were spotted by this bandit group.


    Nan Hua knew that some people even used the people for their own experiment. This would only happen in Zhang Xu Kingdom in the hand of some cruel people as other kingdoms were still rather humane.


    Perhaps, this was why no one from other kingdoms ever liked Zhang Xu Kingdom.


    Except that Prime Minister Lei.


    He fits perfectly in Zhang Xu Kingdom even though he actually came from Shi Long Kingdom. As for why, Nan Hua herself was not entirely sure because she only knew very little about Prime Minister Lei.


    "The question now is… is she the only one?" Long Qian Xing looked at the others.


    "What do you mean?" Sheng Shan Lang had a bad hunch when he heard Long Qian Xing''s question.


    "This is not the only vige near the border of Zhang Xu Kingdom. There are several other viges on the way and if there are more people, it''s expected that there will be riots." Long Qian Xing''s eyes narrowed.


    If there were riots so early, it would cause trouble for Fei Yang Kingdom. As expected of that ruthless prime minister, he even prepared everything so early in order to make sure that they wouldn''t be able to attack Zhang Xu Kingdom so quickly.


    This would be a hassle.


    Hopefully, there was still enough time for them to prepare for an all out battle against Zhang Xu Kingdomter on.


    "Settle these women and deal with the rest of the bandits." Long Qian Xing looked at the chaos in front of him. He saw these women were lowering their head, but their eyes were filled with hatred when they looked at the woman from Thousands Needles.


    He could understand their mentality a bit.


    They suffered so much and it was because of another woman like them. They might feel unreconciled in their heart, but he had no time to care for them all at this time. He was not a psychologist either and couldn''t help them much.


    All that could be done was to return them to the vige.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    As for the aftermath…


    There will be others who would take care of it.


    Thankfully, he noticed that many of these women were fine and only suffered from hunger and thirst because they were kidnapped.


    "There might be someone behind this matter that deal with the women." Long Qian Xing''s eyes inevitably nced at Nan Hua when he talked about this. He felt a bit worried that Nan Hua would be targeted in the future.


    Her current appearance was toned down because of the mask and no one could see her clearly.


    But what if she didn''t wear a mask?


    Recalling Nan Hua''s extremely enchanting appearance, Long Qian Xing unconsciously gripped his fingers to form a fist.


    No matter what, he will protect Nan Hua and never allow her to experience anything like this.


    "They also do human trafficking?" Nan Luo''s expression turned incredulous. This wouldn''t be a problem between kingdoms anymore. There would be a lot of things involved in this matter.


    "It can only be reported to the official to deal with the rest of the matter." Long Qian Xing didn''t have the professionalism in dealing with crimes and so on. While he might be a soldier, his job was inherently different from detectives.


    "Damn it." Sheng Shan Lang''s expression was ugly when he thought about what would happen to these women.


    Thinking of his sister still in the vige alone, Sheng Shan Lang suddenly felt a bit anxious. While he did teach her a bit of martial arts to protect herself without him around, now he felt that it was not enough.


    But he also couldn''t bring her along because she was not willing to stay on the battlefield and suffered.


    He came because of his dream, so he never forced his sister toe.


    It seemed that he had to take a break soon to pay a visit to her.


    "Nan, this…"


    "I can''t help." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo. "I don''t know their destination or anything like that. At most, we can only try to track the other women who are missing, but it will be done by the special department."


    Nan Luo was silent for a moment and then nodded.


    For some reasons, he felt a bit suffocated when he heard Nan Hua''s answer. While he knew that she was right, he felt that he couldn''t do anything to help, which made him a bit irritable.


    But since this was the case, it was indeed better to hand it over to the people who dealt with such cases.


    Hopefully, they would be able to settle this matter soon.


    "Let''s go back and regroup with Feng Ao Si. The rest can only be done slowly. I''ll fill in the report."
