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

"What? My lord! What do we do now?"

Murong Jiu was young and had lived in Jiajiazhuang for a while. He had a good relationship with his uncle Jia Quan, aunt, and some villagers, so he panicked as soon as he heard this!

Jia Daoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, then gently pulled Murong Jiu into his arms, softly comforting her: "Ajiu, don't worry, with your husband here, not a single hair on the head of the people in the manor will be missing!"

"Yes, yes, I believe in my husband!"

Murong Jiuzhong nodded; she was now Jia Daoshi's number one fan.

Moreover, when it comes to the rewards given to Jia Daoshi, the mere gift of a copy of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill is enough to secure her a place among the top-ranked women on the donation list.

Not to mention, there are also the treasures inside the Daqing Martial God Temple!

Murong Jiu is now able to skillfully control mechanical beasts, and her strength is comparable to that of a master in the Free Realm.

However, this little girl still sees herself as a little girl at heart.

Very naive.

Jia Daoshi had no intention of changing this situation.

In such a chaotic world, Murong Jiuzhe's innocent and carefree nature is all the more precious!

Next, Jia Daoshi asked Jia Ling about some specific details, and then directly instructed Jia Bing to sound the alarm in the manor.

Jia Bing was also from Jiajiazhuang. The entire Thor Squad, and even the Blue Sky Squad, were all from this surrounding area, so they were all furious when they heard the news!

A group of bandits dared to hijack the entire village and even used the villagers to threaten them, demanding 100,000 taels of gold.

They're dreaming!

A bunch of bandits, a motley crew whose origins are anyone's guess!

Don't they know who they are, the owner of the estate?

In Jia Bing's group's opinion, their Thunder God Squad could easily send a few people over and wipe out these bandits!

However, Jia Daoshi felt it wasn't that simple.

In this extraordinary time, such an incident has a strange and unsettling feel to it.

You should know that although it was chaotic and poor before, Jiajiazhuang had always been very peaceful!

After all, in such a remote and desolate mountain village, who would expect to make a fortune by robbing the poor people here?

If you're really going to rob someone, you should target the fattest ones!

Clearly, these bandits are no ordinary people!

According to Jia Ling, after these bandits entered Jiajia Village, they did not rob, kill, or set fires. They simply invited all the villagers out and then sent the village head and Jia Ling to ask her for gold!

If I don't take the gold, they'll start killing me!

This is clearly aimed at me!

Otherwise, even if Jiajia Village didn't eat or drink for a thousand years, it still wouldn't be able to produce 100,000 taels of gold!

"I just came out of seclusion and this bunch of unlucky guys showed up. I wonder which sect in the martial arts world they belong to," Jia Daoshi muttered to himself. "Could it be that I didn't kill enough in Jinling last time?"

However, now the other party is obviously much smarter. Instead of directly attacking his manor, they raided his hometown!

This was also his oversight; he forgot to give his uncle some means to protect the estate!

It seems that after this incident, he will have to install some protective mechanisms and some simple mechanical beasts in Jiajia Village.

For example, mechanical snakes, the Yin-Yang Vision, and so on...

……

"Great hero, we have now completed all the tasks you entrusted to us. Can we leave now?"

On the hill behind Jiajiazhuang, a group of about twenty burly men knelt on the ground, pleading with a foreign man whose body was covered in jewels.

This foreign man, whose body was covered in jewels, was none other than Xiao Yun!

These men, exuding a fierce aura, were the same bandits who had previously kidnapped Jiajiazhuang!

At this moment, she was like a well-behaved child in front of Xiao Yun!

This art style is truly somewhat bizarre.

However, this was perfectly natural for these bandits!

They forced smiles that were more like cries on their faces, as if afraid that if they didn't smile hard enough, they would be killed by the foreign man in front of them!

That is indeed the case.

Just a few days ago, they were a band of outlaws roaming the borders of the Great Jing Dynasty, the Longwu Dynasty, and the Kushan Empire!

In the border region, they could get whatever they wanted, and were known as the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders!

They lived a very carefree and leisurely life.

But just two days ago.

The people in front of them found them.

This guy, the moment we met, he had an air of superiority about him, as if he wanted to order them around.

As a king on the border, he has seen all kinds of big scenes. Even when the two armies are facing each other, he dares to dig up corpses and pick up scraps. When has he ever been treated like this?

The leader of the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders, Jade Kirin, immediately flew into a rage, wielding a long spear and ready to pierce the opponent's heart!

But what this powerful underworld boss didn't expect was that before he could even throw his spear, the guy covered in jewels in front of him ripped out his heart!

The whole process was extremely fast!

When the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders saw their leader, Jade Kirin's, heart beating in someone else's palm, they all vomited!

As a result, Xiao Yun recruited the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders without breaking a sweat!

They originally thought that if the other party wanted to recruit them, it must be to send them on a very difficult mission, the kind with a ten-fold chance of death!

But what could they do? Even their own leader couldn't withstand a single move from the other side.

I can only be a subservient grandson!

However, the task they were to carry out in the end was surprisingly simple!

It's about kidnapping a small mountain village, then sending the village headman out to ask for help and demand 100,000 taels of gold!

One hundred thousand taels of gold is indeed a huge sum of money!

But they dared not have any improper thoughts!

They just want to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible!

However, in response to their request, Xiao Yun simply said, "What's the rush? After doing so much, are you just going to leave like this? At least stay and watch a show, won't you?"

"Keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you guys!"

"Yes!"

Even though the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders were kneeling on the ground with honest expressions, and had even lost face by begging like obedient children, they were still not allowed to leave.

Since that's the case, then of course we'll stay here obediently and not leave!

If we leave now, we'll be courting death!

After Xiao Yun left, the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders were speechless.

The mountain wind blowing against them made them look somewhat desolate.

After an unknown amount of time, the eighteenth rider turned to a one-eyed giant and said, "Second Brother! Are we really not leaving? I heard that many martial arts figures are heading this way recently, something big might happen! If we stay here, I'm afraid our chances of survival are slim!"

"Brothers, think about this carefully. In this day and age, who can come up with 100,000 taels of gold at once? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"If someone could really produce 100,000 taels of gold, would that person obediently listen to you?"
