Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

"boom."

A gunshot rang out, and an apple a hundred meters away was shattered.

Everyone who saw this scene could hardly believe how powerful the thing in Lu Chuan's hand was; even Ming Yu's eyes showed a burning desire.

After putting the gun away, Meng Tong took two steps forward and looked at everyone around her before turning to Ming Yu and saying, "This is a birthday present for you. Its name is Gun."

"In a storybook I read before, it said that a gun can protect the people you want to protect, but you shouldn't point it at your own people."

"I am giving this to you in the hope that you will be as brave and invincible as it is, able to protect yourself and your loved ones."

"However, never use it against your own people."

The woman's words shocked Mingyu. Then, a resolute look flashed in the man's eyes, and he lowered his head solemnly and said, "Mingyu will remember Madam's teachings."

"Well, get up!"

He personally handed the gun to Mingyu, and from then on, all the banquets revolved around it.

Having witnessed its power, everyone wanted to have it, which unintentionally sparked everyone's enthusiasm.

A 20th birthday celebration can be considered a true coming-of-age ceremony.

Mingyu felt an unprecedented sense of care, and he knew that Wuyou Valley would become the place he would protect for the rest of his life.

……

Ten years later, the reputation of Worry-Free Valley is known to everyone.

The man, nearing thirty, still holds onto the promise he made when he was twenty, but everyone around him has settled down and started families, while he remains all alone.

For this reason, Meng Tong even asked Mingmei and others to take turns persuading him, wondering if she had brainwashed him!

"Brother, you're almost thirty, why haven't you found me a sister-in-law yet!" Lying on the low couch in the room, Mingmei, who had just given birth, began to worry about her brother's marriage.

Can you believe her child is almost eight years old, and her son has never even held a proper girl's hand?

It's no wonder she was anxious; everyone was celebrating with their families, and she longed for her brother to be able to do the same.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and Mingmei ended up lying on the couch and crying.

"What are you doing? It's not good to cry right after giving birth; it can cause health problems later on."

“I just feel sorry for my brother because he is alone every New Year’s Eve.”

"I'm not alone. Aren't you and the children here?" The mature and steady man was at a loss for words.

Ever since he turned thirty, it's been as if he's committed some heinous crime.

There isn't a single day of peace and quiet if you don't get married.

Either this person brings their child to scold him, or his own sister cries miserably.

Mingyu suddenly felt that he was a sinner.

……

Another year passed, and Mingyu volunteered to join the caravan heading to Lin Yuan Kingdom.

One of the reasons is that she couldn't stand the pressure from the villagers to get married.

Once he embarked on his journey out of the valley, the man, who had been tormented for a year, was finally able to catch his breath.

Along the way, Mingyu also saw many different local customs and traditions.

To be honest, he hadn't been to many places. Apart from a trip to Fucheng, he spent most of his time in Wuyou Valley.

It was a rare occasion that Meng Tong allowed him to go out, and a smile appeared on the man's face, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Lin Yuan Kingdom is located at the southernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nearly a thousand miles away from Wuyou Valley.

The journey would take them through many mountains, and this shipment was very important, so Mingyu also brought along the gun that Meng Tong had given him.

……

The first ten days went smoothly, but problems arose when we entered a place called Yunfeng Village.

On the damp and sweltering official road, Mingyu sat resting inside the carriage. Because it was too hot, the man drew the curtains on both sides.

A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo grove, and the once orderly convoy suddenly descended into chaos.

The horses' neighing carried a sense of unease, and Liu Xiong, who was in charge, also noticed the problem.

As Liu Xiong rode his horse to the carriage, he was about to dismount when a long knife flew straight at him.

Liu Xiong was caught off guard and just when he thought he was going to die there, a long spear suddenly jumped out of the carriage.

The all-black spear blocked the tip of the long sword, and the long sword, which should have been inserted between Liu Xiong's eyebrows, broke off and fell to the ground.

"Hoohoohoo."

With rapid breathing, Liu Xiong felt sweat pouring down his body before turning around in a daze to look at the man who had emerged from the carriage.

Holding a long spear, his dark eyes scanned everything around him.

Mingyu glanced at Liu Xiong, whose face was pale, and asked, "Uncle Liu, are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing." Realizing what had happened, Liu Xiong dismounted and took two steps forward to the man, saying, "I've walked this road several times before, and I've never been ambushed here before."

"You mean this person..."

"call out."

A sharp arrow whistled past and flew towards Mingyu. Before the two could even exchange a word, they were forced into battle.

Suddenly, several men in black emerged from all directions. They all looked fierce and menacing, their eyes filled with a determination to acquire the goods.

"Leave the goods, you can leave."

A woman's voice came from the woods, and then a woman in a dark red dress rode out on a tall horse.

She was holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and her face, two-thirds of which was covered by a veil, made it impossible to tell who she was.

Mingyu frowned, but his tense face remained relatively stable.

The man turned to the side and looked up at the woman who had come up in front of him.

Their gazes met in the air, and Mingyu smiled kindly.

"I wonder what you mean by this, young lady."

"Can't you tell?" the woman sneered, her eyes, exposed to the air, carrying a strange glint in them. She then replied, "Have you ever heard of robbing the rich to help the poor?"

"I have heard of such things, but I have never seen anyone like you before, young lady. Please forgive my ignorance."

“Those who rob the rich to help the poor are the most wicked and evil people. I am just a merchant. I ask myself, I have never done anything to steal money or kill people. All my gains have been obtained through righteous means.”

“This is not appropriate for you, young lady. Moreover, these goods belong to the royal family of Lin Yuan Kingdom. It is probably not a case of robbing the rich to help the poor, but rather… robbing the poor.”

The man wore a smile throughout, while the woman's face showed surprise when she heard that it was from the royal family of Lin Yuan Kingdom.

Then she lowered her eyes and asked Mingyu, "Are you from Wuyou Valley?"

"Exactly."

The man's answer made the veiled woman both delighted and embarrassed.

She dismounted and approached Mingyu, then lifted her veil and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's all a misunderstanding. My name is Yang Meng, and I am a princess of Lin Yuan Kingdom."

Liu Xiong and others: ...

They had heard of this princess before; she was a complete little tyrant.

I never expected to meet you like this.

Mingyu also found it strange. After scanning the woman's clothes and appearance, the man asked, "Why is the princess dressed like this?"

"Didn't we say it already? We'll rob the rich to help the poor."

Mingyu: ……
