Let’s not talk about the low-quality book for now. They probably won’t be able to use it for a while. Besides, Jia Xu is such a deceitful person, so Ying Yue’s ten consecutive draws are really making a lot of money.

You should know that some unlucky people can only draw one guaranteed character card after ten consecutive draws, and this guaranteed card is a low-level N card with no extra features.

So, when Ying Yue asked the host, who obviously had European roots, the system, which wanted to check whether its host was a stranded heir of a European royal family, happily responded to her question.

【Theoretically, it is possible.】

After hearing the system’s response, Jia Xu, who had briefly flipped through the book “Postpartum Care for Sows” that the little girl had handed him, couldn’t help but pay attention to Ying Yue, though subtly.

Judging from what the system said, this young lord must be quite lucky.

From the size of the treasure warehouse, he could roughly guess that this was a novice lord who had just bound to the system.

This should be her first territory, which was just conquered.

Combining this with the system’s answer, it means that besides Zhao Kuo, the little girl must have another general with an SSR card level.

I wonder who the other SSR general is.

But whatever the case, things are becoming more and more interesting…

The elegant scholar thought to himself.

_

Then, less than a quarter of an hour later, Jia Xu suddenly stopped turning the pages of the book. It was because—

“Younger sister–!”

Hearing his voice before seeing him is the best way to describe Zhao Kuo at this moment.

When they were still a short distance away from the warehouse, the boy shouted at the top of his lungs.

The sound echoed in Ying Yue’s and Jia Xu’s ears, becoming a kind of noise in the otherwise quiet room.

After a brief pause, Jia Xu continued flipping through the book that the little girl found annoying, as if nothing had happened.

After a while, the figure of the boy who had been shouting from a distance finally appeared outside the door.

When he reached the door, Zhao Kuo ran in quickly. When he got closer, Ying Yue noticed that Zhao Kuo was also holding a book.

—This was what she most dreaded seeing right now.

However, when Zhao Kuo stopped and looked closely, Ying Yue realized something was off.

It wasn’t a book; it seemed to be… an account book. And it was very thick.

The next moment, Zhao Kuo handed the book to Ying Yue and said, “I was planning to add some hay to the horses in the stable, but then I found this thing at the bottom of the trough. Sister, take a look. What’s written in it?”

The boy spoke without noticing the flaws in his words.

After all, who would look at the bottom of a trough before adding straw? It’s hard not to wonder what this guy was doing.

However, the good-natured girl didn’t comment on this. Instead, she took the account book from Zhao Kuo’s hand, held it firmly, and said, “Let me see.”

After opening the first page, Ying Yue confirmed that this was indeed an account book.

—This was the account book between the original group of bandits in this mountain stronghold and the Hu people.

However, the exchanges weren’t in gold, silver, firewood, rice, oil, salt, or silk, but in villagers abducted from surrounding counties, who were referred to as “two-legged sheep” in the account book.

Every word was shocking.

The beautiful girl just glanced around for a few times, and her originally healthy face began to turn pale.

She forced herself to turn two or three more pages. Finally, she pinched the corner of the page and could no longer stop the slight trembling.

Instantly, Ying Yue felt her heart pounding violently, and her chest shook. She knew that this feeling was one of resentment and injustice. It was a national sentiment that ran deep in the blood of most Chinese people and the most basic emotion possessed by a “human being.”

The first person to notice something was wrong with Ying Yue was Jia Xu. The fragile-looking man immediately took the account book from the little girl’s hand. After glancing through it briefly, his expression didn’t change at all. He calmly handed the account book back to Zhao Kuo and said to him, “General, take a look.”

When Zhao Kuo saw his young master’s face turn pale, he realized something was wrong with what he found.

Then he listened to Jia Xu’s words and looked at the account book he brought back, and then…

The impulsive boy’s reaction was even stronger. Zhao Kuo casually read a page and glanced at it twice, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

He angrily threw the thick account book against the wall. Suddenly, the hemp rope binding the account book snapped in half, and the book spread out.

“What a bunch of beasts!” Zhao Kuo’s eyes turned red. “How dare they—how dare they—!”

They colluded with the Hu people, betrayed their country, and allowed them into the Central Plains to cause chaos. They even adopted the barbarians’ ways of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Now they were trafficking in people and offering several “two-legged sheep” as “tribute.” How could they still be considered human beings?

He gritted his teeth and said, “Killing them before was too easy for them! Such people, who have lost all humanity and conscience, should be torn apart by chariots in the Qin Dynasty!”

The young man kicked the wall forcefully, leaving a shallow mark. His eyes were filled with fierce hatred, “I will destroy them all sooner or later!”

This was unbearable even for Ying Yue, who was usually gentle and good-natured. The little girl bit her lower lip and said, “We can’t let them go.”

After she spoke, she looked up at Zhao Kuo. Her usually bright phoenix eyes were filled with an unprecedented determination. Deep within her eyes, a fire that would eventually burn the prairie ignited. Her usually soft voice carried a chilling tone as she said word by word, “You cannibal barbarians should be killed.

As the beautiful girl finished speaking, an electronic voice suddenly echoed in the ears of Ying Yue, Zhao Kuo, and Jia Xu:

[Ding! Task conditions have been triggered!
