The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

A waiter with a pockmarked face, seeing that the group had all fainted, stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Sirs, sirs, what happened to you?"

Seeing that Li Muxia and the others did not react, he then waved to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, accompanied by several waiters, gathered around and poked Li Muxia and the others who were lying face down. After confirming that they were unconscious, he called for more people to drag them to the backyard.

The pockmarked waiter asked, "Brother, why don't you just finish here?" He then made a throat-slitting gesture.

The shopkeeper looked at the pockmarked man, kicked him, and said sternly, "You idiot, you're going to do it here? There's blood everywhere. You clean it up! What if someone comes and sees this and reports it to the newspaper? All our preparations over the years will have been for nothing."

The pockmarked man rubbed his sore thigh and said obsequiously, "Big Brother is truly wise."

"Alright, stop flattering me and hurry up and help me move it."

The pockmarked man quickly agreed.

A thug approached Li Muxia, his brow furrowed as he looked at her physique. He bent over and tried to move her, but only managed to budge her a little.

He complained, "What did this kid eat to grow up like this? He's way too heavy."

As he spoke, he looked up and called over the pockmarked man to help move Li Muxia.

Li Muxia listened to the two of them still discussing her figure, and thought angrily to herself: So what if I'm fat? Did I eat your food?

Then I thought of the meal I had just eaten: Hmm. I did eat a little.

Li Muxia was the last to be moved into the courtyard. At this time, the shopkeeper arrived with a group of his underlings, and the group surrounded Li Muxia and the others.

“Boss, these guys don’t look like officials or merchants, and they didn’t bring any servants. They shouldn’t be anyone rich or powerful,” said Henchman A.

"That's not necessarily true. I saw they had a horse-drawn carriage, specifically for carrying luggage, with several large trunks. They must have some good stuff," said Brother B.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly deal with these guys. I didn't expect this trip down the mountain to be so fruitful," said Brother Bing.

“The boss’s idea was good. Although it cost a lot of money to build the inn, we can definitely make a lot of money by robbing a few more times,” said Ding, the younger brother.

Hearing everyone chattering, the shopkeeper raised his hand and said, "Leave three people to deal with them. Clean them up properly, don't let them splatter everywhere, it'll be hard to clean up." He then pointed to three people, "You three stay here, the rest of you come with me to check on the goods."

He then led his men away, leaving behind those who raised their knives, intending to deal with Li Muxia and the others.

Seeing that the time was right, Dongfang Jincheng immediately jumped up and kicked one of the men away.

Li Muxia and the others also woke up. The three of them, master and disciples, did not know martial arts. In order not to cause trouble for Dongfang Jincheng and the other two, they took the initiative to drag the three coachmen away from the battlefield.

The shopkeeper hadn't gone far when he heard the commotion and turned around. He saw that Li Muxia and the others had woken up and realized that he had been tricked. Seeing that his underlings had been dealt with, he quickly called for people to go and help.

A dozen or so people rushed up. Li Muxia and the others wanted to help, but the other side was armed. Going up now would not only be useless, but would also cause trouble for Dongfang Jincheng and the other person.

Zhu Feng, hiding in the shadows, also wanted to help, but without receiving a signal from his master, he had to remain still. Besides, these few people were no match for his master.

Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinxuan were skilled in martial arts. Although they were unarmed, the dozen or so men couldn't subdue them. Dongfang Jincheng, wanting to conceal his strength, didn't use his full power. He could easily deal with these small fry with just a fraction of his strength.

The shopkeeper realized that only Dongfang Jincheng and his companion knew martial arts, so he shifted his focus to Li Muxia and her group. He figured that by capturing them and using them as leverage, they could escape.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye were feeding the three coachmen the antidote. Li Muxia was watching the battle from the side. When she saw the shopkeeper rushing towards her, she took the initiative to fight in order not to implicate her master and the others. Although she did not know martial arts, she was the national karate champion in modern times.

Dongfang Jincheng also noticed Li Muxia's side. Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to strike Li Muxia, his heart tightened. He slapped away the thugs fighting with him and was about to rescue Li Muxia.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye also saw it and shouted in fright, "Mu Xia, be careful!" They were so anxious that they even forgot their aliases.

Li Muxia heard everyone's voices, but he had to concentrate on dealing with the person in front of him. The opponent had a weapon, and he had to defeat him in one blow.

Seeing the knife hurtling towards her, Li Muxia leaned back, the blade narrowly grazing her nose. Just as the assailant, realizing his attack had missed, was about to deliver a finishing blow, Li Muxia swiftly rose, braced her right leg, and struck out with a powerful kick to the shopkeeper's groin. Dongfang Jincheng stopped a meter away from Li Muxia.

There was a moment of stillness at the scene. Then came the shopkeeper's scream.

The men present unconsciously squeezed their legs together.

Bai Qing Shi: This... should be scrapped, right?

Shangguan Jingye: Junior sister is pretty ruthless.

Dongfang Jincheng: She knows martial arts.

Dongfang Jinxuan: Oh, she's a surprisingly agile fat woman.

At this moment, the pockmarked man next to him saw that everyone's attention was on the shopkeeper and Li Muxia, and raised his knife to slash at Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng noticed his movement out of the corner of his eye. He sneered and was about to make a move when he saw Li Muxia quickly grab Dongfang Jincheng's hand and pull him forcefully towards her, shouting, "Young Master Long, be careful."

Dongfang Jincheng didn't expect Li Muxia to come to his rescue. Before he could react, Li Muxia pulled him over. It has to be said that Li Muxia was really strong at this moment.

Li Muxia hadn't expected to have such strength. When he pulled Dongfang Jincheng over, the two spun around due to inertia. Their eyes met, and Li Muxia didn't feel anything, but Dongfang Jincheng felt his heart race. He didn't understand what was happening to him.

There was no time to think, because Li Muxia was now facing away from the pockmarked man, blocking Dongfang Jincheng's path. Dongfang Jincheng could just see the pockmarked man's knife coming at him.

In the nick of time, Dongfang Jincheng used his lightness skill to grab Li Muxia and dodge away. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he had to save Li Muxia. He completely forgot about his allergy to women.

Dongfang Jinxuan dealt with the remaining thugs and kicked the pockmarked man unconscious.

Seeing the two still hugging, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Muxia away. He was really afraid that his third brother would vomit in front of everyone.

"Third Brother, Brother Xia, are you alright?"

Li Muxia stepped out of Dongfang Jincheng's embrace, feeling a little awkward, but she had no romantic feelings for him; she simply felt embarrassed being held by a man, being a woman. Although he was quite handsome and didn't know she was a woman, Li Muxia wasn't love-struck or infatuated. "It's alright, I'm fine. Young Master Long saved my life again."
