Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 40 Reunion
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then organized his thoughts and said, "Moyun Village has been wiped out. Actually, we were supposed to go there tomorrow to take over the toll checkpoint, but since my brother-in-law is here today, why don't we go together this afternoon?"

The Li family's caravans will then be able to travel freely.

There shouldn't be any more trouble from others.

Zhao's face lit up with joy. She hadn't expected that her son-in-law would be so capable, that he had actually wiped out the supposedly terrifying Moyun Village.

Wang Yue excitedly said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go with you this afternoon!"

He was somewhat eager to try, after all, he spent every day in the training ground in the prefectural city, and his father hadn't taken him with him when he went out to suppress bandits last time.

Of course, I wanted to see what it was like this time I was out.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."

He quite liked his brother-in-law.

The fact that he can bring his mother-in-law to visit his wife shows that he is not a materialistic person.

“I want to go too! I don’t know how happy Father will be if he hears this news,” Li Xiyao said with a smile.

She has a lively personality, and when she heard that Lu Ming was going outside, she immediately wanted to follow him.

Zhao looked at Lu Ming, and seeing that he did not object, she smiled and said, "Alright, then you two can go with your brother-in-law, but don't cause any trouble."

Today can be said to be the happiest day for the Zhao family in recent days.

Then, as if remembering something, she glanced at her daughter and son-in-law and said, "When we get back, don't tell your father what happened here. That old man has gone too far this time. He needs to be taught a lesson."

"Xi Yao, did you hear me?"

Seeing her mother's unfriendly gaze, Li Xiyao shrank back and said, "Mother, don't worry, I definitely won't tell."

At the same time, I felt some sympathy for my father, wondering what his expression would be when he suddenly learned of this news.

However, she supported her mother in this matter.

Xi Yao and her siblings have had a very good relationship since childhood.

The eldest sister's recent incident has left them all with some resentment towards their father.

The other day, my older brother tried to sneak over to see my sister with some things, but our father found out and gave him five lashes.

Wang Yue seemed quite interested in the plan, and said with a smile, "Okay, then we'll keep it from my father-in-law."

Zhao, however, showed no sign of backing down and continued, "Lu Ming, the Li family's caravan should pay whatever amount of silver is due, and not a penny less in toll fees."

If anyone wants to see you, you don't need to pay them any attention; I'll take care of everything.

Seeing his mother-in-law say this, Lu Ming could only smile wryly and say, "I'll listen to you!"

After finishing the meal, Li Xirou went to rest with her mother.

Lu Ming was drinking tea when Wang Yue quietly walked over and asked, "Brother-in-law, when are we going?"

“Anytime is fine,” Lu Ming said, putting down his teacup.

Then he stood up.

Wang Yue and his wife followed behind.

As soon as they arrived at the front yard, Wang Han came to greet them.

"grown ups!"

"Get ready, let's set off for the toll gate of Moyun Village."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "Second Sister, are you taking a carriage?"

"No, I ride a horse. I always ride a horse in the prefectural city. The journey to Fenglei County is too far, so I traveled by carriage with my mother."

"Brother-in-law, get him a horse."

Upon noticing Lu Ming's gaze, Wang Yue smiled and said.

The former nodded and looked at Wang Han, continuing, "Bring over a few horses."

"Yes, my lord!"

After giving the instructions, Lu Ming walked outside.

Upon arriving at the entrance, they saw Zhang Meng leading his team in formation, clearly ready to go.

No swordsmen were used today; only ordinary strongmen were deployed.

There were about three hundred people.

Moreover, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of Body Tempering.

That's enough to deal with a hundred or so bandits.

"Tap!"

Wang Han led over the warhorse.

"Second sister, choose one yourself!"

Lu Ming said with a smile.

The other party didn't stand on ceremony; after choosing a red warhorse, they immediately mounted it.

It can be seen that Li Xiyao seems to have cultivated before, and should be at the Body Tempering Realm.

Wang Yue then mounted his warhorse.

Without further ado, Lu Ming said to Wang Han, "Let's go!"

Then, they spurred their horses and rode off into the distance.

However, the roadblocks at Moyun Village were not removed.

The people stationed here are unaware that something has happened in the village.

The distance is quite far, and it takes two or three days to make a trip, so they usually send someone back once every two weeks.

If something else happens, that's another story. At that time, the entire village was turned into a living hell by the killings.

Those who escaped didn't care about anything else and just ran away.

Therefore, these bandits from Moyun Village.

He's still living a carefree life right now.

The third master of Moyun Village was sitting under a tree by the roadside, drinking wine.

A pair of triangular eyes constantly scanned the passing convoy.

Only after seeing that the other party had paid did he take another satisfied sip.

"Third Master, we've collected quite a bit of silver this time. The eldest brother will be very happy when he gets back."

"That's for sure. Our income is the most stable in the entire Moyun Village. Especially recently, I've heard that there have been rebellions in many places, but our area is the only stable one. We have countless goods coming and going every day."

There will be even more money next month.

"Clatter!" The third brother opened the silver box beside him and stroked it from time to time.

His face was full of enjoyment.

It's just a pity that this money isn't mine.

"Third Master, other places have rebelled, what about us?"

"Leaving aside Hongdu Prefecture, if we could just take down this Heishan County, we could really have some fun."

The underling asked curiously.

When he got excited, his face lit up with joy.

"Bang!" The third brother slapped him on the head.

"What do you know? We can still eat a meal peacefully here, even if we're the kings of this mountain."

Even the Black Mountain Army hasn't rebelled, yet you dare to rebel? That's just courting death.

Actually, I wish things could stay this way.

If the day truly comes when anti-military sentiment is rampant, we people might become cannon fodder at any moment.

Third Master said quietly.

And just as they were talking.

In the distance, a group of people slowly walked over.

It turned out to be Lu Ming and his group.

Wang Han led the way, a long sword at his waist, his face solemn.

Once they discovered they were from the military, the henchmen in the village didn't bother with them anymore.

This has become an unspoken rule: if the city guards don't provoke them, they won't attack them.

On ordinary days, he only collected the goods from caravans.

The two sides have maintained a relatively peaceful relationship, keeping to themselves.

But today is different.

When Lu Ming and his group stopped next to the roadblock.

Wang Han waved his hand, and the next moment someone rushed out.

The people of Moyun Village hadn't even realized what was happening yet.

"laugh!"

A bandit standing by the roadside was struck in the chest and fell to the ground.

Everything happened so suddenly.

Lu Ming's men made their move almost simultaneously.

The third master immediately jumped up, staring intently at Lu Ming.

At that moment, the other party also looked over.

Name: Jin Sheng

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Blood Transformation]

[Personal Deeds: He became a bandit at the age of twelve and killed his first person in the same year.]

At the age of thirteen, he was valued for his ruthlessness and was taught martial arts techniques.

At the age of twenty, he led a band of mountain bandits and massacred three villages.

At the age of twenty-three, after his village was wiped out, he escaped and wandered the world, robbing and killing thousands of civilians over the years.

At the age of thirty-two, he joined Moyun Village. In order to rise to power as quickly as possible, he showed his ruthless side, forcing caravans from various places to pay him money and carrying out a large-scale massacre of caravan members.

[Mission: Collect money from caravans here]

[Overall brutality level: 70000 points]

Killing it will grant 70000 Chaos Points.

Looking at the data, Lu Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised; his score was even higher than that of the Mo Yun Village Chief.

Just how ruthless is this person?

Think of the despair of those who were killed.

Then, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.
