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

A flower appeared in the sky above Jiajia Village.

The bright and vibrant light naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.

It's not even Lunar New Year's Eve yet, and they're already setting off fireworks?

The village head was slaughtering a chicken at home, wanting to have a good meal. Just as he was about to slit the chicken's neck with the knife, he was startled by a sudden explosion. The knife in his hand didn't reach the chicken's neck, but instead cut his own hand!

"Who the hell set off firecrackers at this hour?!"

"Wait a minute! This doesn't sound like firecrackers!"

The village head instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Because this sound is very similar to the whistling arrows from the surrounding mountain strongholds!

Could bandits have invaded the village?

During the Lunar New Year, we can't let the villagers' hard-earned grain be robbed by bandits!

Without hesitation, he put down the chicken and cleaver, put on a coat, and went out to gather the local militia.

At the same time, many villagers who heard the commotion came out!

Before they could figure out exactly what was wrong, a group of burly men, riding fast horses and carrying torches, sped past on the village road!

One rocket can launch a thousand troops into battle!

"What's going on? Judging from their black attire, they don't seem to be bandits."

Some villagers looked puzzled.

The bandits on the mountain wear all sorts of random clothes; there's no one dressed in uniform black.

These people look more like members of some underworld gang!

Weird things happen every year, especially this year!

At this moment, the village head also saw this group of people!

Seeing the menacing looks on these people's faces, the village head's heart skipped a beat!

Because these people were heading in the direction of the blacksmith Jia's family!

"This...is not good!"

The village head was startled and, without thinking of anything else, hurriedly followed the horse team towards Jia Quan's house!

One good thing about Jiajia Village is that no matter how much the villagers fight amongst themselves, they can always unite when faced with an external enemy!

"Quick! Jia Biao, gather all the men you can find in the village and go to your Uncle Jia Quan's place! Hurry!"

As the village head ran, he saw Jia Biao beside him and immediately called out to him loudly.

"Remember to bring your weapons!"

"Okay!"

As the village head ran, he prayed in his heart: I hope it's all a misunderstanding!

He quickly ran to Jia Quan's courtyard!

By this time, the yard was surrounded by horses, which were pawing the ground with their front hooves and panting heavily through their large nostrils!

Torches surrounded the entire courtyard, making the night as bright as day!

Those carrying torches were burly men dressed in black, clearly江湖人士 (jianghu figures) who had lived a life of violence and bloodshed!

Leading the group was a burly man dressed in blue brocade!

"Boss, the front and back yards are completely surrounded. Not even a mouse can get out!"

A burly man in black walked up to the man in blue, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"here you go!"

The burly man in blue nodded: "Are our men alright? Who are the other side?"

"Boss! Our brothers are badly injured, all four of their limbs are broken! The one who injured them is this blacksmith's nephew!" The burly man in black said with grief and indignation.

"What? What about my little brother? Was he injured?" A charming female voice rang out from the crowd.

This is a woman who looks like a vixen, with a seductive figure and a voice so alluring it can melt your bones!

A woman like this is born to be a vixen; a few whispers in her ear and she's guaranteed to make a man dizzy and disoriented!

"Reporting to Madam, Hong Tao was also beaten by that man. His face was deformed. When we arrived, he had already passed out, but his limbs were not broken."

"What?! How could this happen! Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's composure instantly crumbled!

"Bai Lang! Listen to this! Listen to this! This bastard is so vicious! You must avenge me!"

"Otherwise, I won't live either~~ Waaaaah~"

Hong Yan threw herself into the arms of the man in blue, tears streaming down her face!

"Alright! Stop crying! Tonight, I, the gang leader, will raze this dilapidated thatched hut to the ground and avenge my beauty!"

The man in blue put his arm around Hong Yan's waist and patted her shoulder, gently comforting her.

He met Hong Yan at Baihualou, where she was a very popular girl at the time.

Why is she so popular? Because she has rich practical experience and is very skilled. After trying her once, he was completely captivated and eventually used his power to make her his mistress.

He had only enjoyed himself for a few days and was in the throes of passion, so naturally he listened to Hong Yan's every word and doted on her even more!

He had just planned to return to the county town, but before leaving, he wanted to avenge his brother-in-law one last time, and his men were waiting for news at the village entrance.

"The other party is still in the yard, they didn't run away, did they?"

After comforting the little beauty in his arms, the man in blue asked with a cold face.

"I didn't run away..." the younger brother said hesitantly.

"What's that?" the man in blue asked impatiently. "He's not running away, so hurry up and take care of him! Once you're done, get back to the city. This wretched mountain village is driving me crazy!"

A mere country bumpkin, still dawdling and not cleaning up. Are all the people raised by the Hundred Flowers Gang good-for-nothings?

It seems it's time to go back and reorganize!

The man in blue was pondering this.

Faced with his gang leader's disdainful gaze, the underling's heart skipped a beat. In the end, he could only lower his head and grit his teeth, saying, "Gang leader, that guy is not easy to deal with. He seems to have quite a background!"

"Waaaaah~ Little brother! I'm so useless, I can't avenge you, waaaaah~~~"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yan immediately began to wail and cry, her face filled with sorrow, fearing that her lover would not help her take revenge!

Upon hearing this, the man in blue's face immediately darkened. If he didn't vent his anger, even a woman would look down on him! He immediately sneered, "What the hell! What kind of background do you have! In Yilan County, is there anyone our Hundred Flowers Gang can't mess with? Outrageous!"

"Today, I, the gang leader, have him cornered! No one can stop me!"

With that, he took the beautiful woman's arm and walked directly into the courtyard in front of him!

Hong Tao was already in poor health, and after being punched by Jia Daoshi, he didn't last long before he passed out.

The bloodied and mangled face looked like a ghost, it was extremely creepy.

However, several members of the Hundred Flowers Gang whose limbs had been broken were still lying on the ground, grumbling and screaming incessantly.

Upon seeing Hong Tao on the ground, Hong Yan burst into tears and snot, broke free from the man in blue's hand, and rushed over to him.

"My poor little brother! I'm late! Waaaaah~~~!"
