The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jiajia Village.

Upon hearing that his uncle was injured, Jia Daoshi immediately ordered Steward Sun to drive the carriage back to Jiajia Village.

By the time we arrived, it was already dark.

At Jia Quan's house, after listening to Jia Daoshi's account, Jia Daoshi understood what had happened.

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests.

A conflict between two villages!

As Jia Quan led the villagers to catch fish in the marshes and transport them to Yilan County by truckload, the neighboring Hongjia Village became envious!

Finally, a fierce battle broke out between the two villages over the ownership of a body of water.

Fights between villages are very common, even in the modern world before Jia Daoshi's time travel.

Especially in Daxia, where Jia Daoshi lived, the armed conflicts between the two villages could even escalate into artillery duels.

Even in the village where Jia Daoshi used to live, there were several instances where the entire village mobilized to fight with the neighboring village.

But in things like this, everyone tries to control their temper. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, the county government will intervene, and those troublemakers will have to be sent to the army!

That's how it was in Jiajia Village and Hongjia Village; after a fight, only a few people suffered minor injuries.

Originally, this matter should have been left as is, since the Chinese New Year was approaching.

But who would have thought that a villager from Hongjia Village who was beaten badly couldn't swallow his anger and eventually went to Yilan County to find a powerful figure in the underworld to help him get revenge!

This villager was injured by Jia Quan during the melee.

Jia Quan's blacksmithing skills were no joke; he was incredibly strong, and most young men couldn't withstand more than a few blows from his hammer.

However, after Jia Quan returned home, he had almost forgotten about the incident.

Because he was injured in the melee, and didn't even know who he had hit, he didn't pay much attention to it since it was just a superficial wound.

Who would have thought that just two days later, this person would bring some underworld bigwigs he knew to his door and even threaten to demolish his house!

To protect his home, Jia Quan had no choice but to fight desperately!

However, the other party was no ordinary person; even his henchmen were very capable fighters!

After this exchange, Jia Quan was beaten black and blue, vomiting blood repeatedly. Even the village head and the local militia who came to help were knocked to the ground and injured!

If they hadn't seen them as country folk with high self-esteem and hadn't held a grudge, they probably would have lost their lives!

"A big brother with considerable influence in the underworld?"

Jia Daoshi frowned; he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.

According to Jia Quan, this powerful figure in the underworld was indeed very influential; even a small fry of his could easily kill a large number of villagers.

No wonder my uncle was so hesitant and unwilling to talk at first.

However, a mere gangster boss was no big deal to Jia Daoshi.

He now has two female confidantes.

Leave matters of the martial arts world to Yi Qianxiao's Xuanhua account.

If it came to matters of the court, he would entrust them to his student, the Prince of Zhenbei.

Delicious.

Now that we've encountered some issues in the martial arts world, we can just hand them over to Xuanhua for handling.

After making up his mind, Jia Daoshi stopped thinking about it.

When the time comes, just have Yi Qianxiao investigate which martial arts figures have visited Jiajia Village.

There is no need to add to my uncle's psychological burden.

Fortunately, Jia Hu wasn't brought along this time, otherwise that silly boy would definitely have gone after them!

However, the other party clearly had no intention of letting Jia Daoshi remain idle.

Before he could even make a move, trouble came knocking.

"Jia Quan! I've come to collect the money for your medicine! I advise you to hand over the money obediently, or I'll burn this dilapidated house down!"

A very arrogant voice rang out from outside!

Then, the rather weathered courtyard gate was kicked away!

It fell to the ground with two thuds!

Then, a young man with some bruises on his face arrogantly barged in!

Outside, several horses were panting heavily!

Several burly men followed him, each holding a torch and looking menacing!

These men were burly, with steady and powerful steps, and their temples bulged high; they were clearly masters of internal martial arts!

At the very least, he's a martial arts expert or a江湖人 (jianghu person) of the highest level!

"Michishi! You all need to get out the back door!"

Tirana panicked and hurriedly said.

However, Jia Daoshi remained calm and did not leave.

Because he knew that at this point, even if he wanted to leave, it would be too late.

Moreover, there is absolutely no need for it.

He was seriously injured at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and performed poorly because he was poisoned by Lei Zhentian's unique poison!

This poison would render even a more skilled expert than Jia Daoshi incapable of moving, let alone Jia Daoshi.

It is truly remarkable that Jia Daoshi was able to recover so quickly.

He is now cultivating the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, and every night he can also engage in yin-yang harmony with Di Qinglin, so his internal strength is increasing rapidly!

How can we let a few random little karami run away?

"Uncle, were these the people who injured you?"

Jia Daoshi asked.

Jia Quan knew that what was coming would eventually have to be faced, and there was no way to avoid it. He immediately sighed and said, "That's right, Dao Shi, the other party is no small force. Since we've encountered them, let's not act impulsively and try to resolve this peacefully."

"Okay, I understand. Uncle, you can rest at home and take care of things outside."

Jia Daoshi nodded and walked out of the house.

Before Jia Quan could say anything more, Murong Jiu stepped forward to comfort him, "Uncle, don't worry. With my lord and Sister Qinglin here, even if demons and monsters come, they can be driven away!"

Jia Quan was in pain with the slightest movement, and in the end, he could only nod helplessly and lie in bed to recover.

Inside the yard.

Several torches were burning brightly, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were daytime.

Di Qinglin followed Jia Daoshi into the courtyard and frowned upon seeing the scene.

"Hmm? I didn't expect there to be such a beauty in the Jia blacksmith's house? Tsk tsk! You must be that blind beauty from Jiajia Village, right? Blindfolded, you really have a unique charm! It's such a waste for such a beauty to be working for the Jia family!"

The young man walking at the front was named Hong Tao. Once he saw Di Qinglin, who had a slender and graceful figure and a small and delicate face, he couldn't take his eyes off her!

Di Qinglin's cherry-like lips and delicate nose alone are enough to attract attention!

Having such a beautiful young woman play the flute for me would be one of life's greatest pleasures!

"You're the one who injured my uncle?" Di Qinglin's icy voice rang out.

His voice was filled with suppressed anger.

But this made Hong Tao even more excited!

It's only satisfying to conquer a beautiful woman with a temper!

"That's right, I did it! What can you do about it?" Hong Tao chuckled, his face lewd.
