Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Hearing Long Aotian say this, Chu Shi looked at him with some surprise, "You, you... have amnesia?"

Long Aotian nodded, sat down at the table next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, nodded, put down the teacup, looked at him and said, "I know you may not believe me, but what I said is true. At a time like this, I have no reason to lie to you."

Chu Shi listened to his words and began to think to himself, but after a while, he shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Oh dear, I don't understand people's hearts at all. Anyway, whether you lose your memory or not has little to do with me. Whatever you say goes!"

Long Aotian smiled calmly, then picked up another teacup on the table, poured tea into it, gently pushed it to the other end of the table, and gestured for Chu Shi to come and drink tea. "Brother, although I don't know your name, this letter was written by you, right?"

Chu Shi stared at the letter, clearly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "What letter? I don't know what you're talking about..."

Long Aotian was both amused and exasperated; the lie was simply too clumsy.

To deal with this kind of naive man, you can't use force; you have to win him over emotionally.

Long Aotian was a shrewd man and naturally understood this principle. So he took a deep breath and said to Chu Shi very sincerely, "Brother, I don't know why you have a problem with me, but... my wife traveled all the way from Qianzhou City to Jingcheng to see me. If she didn't see me or if something happened to her, I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

Chu Shi was moved by Long Aotian's sincere words. He slapped his thigh and said, "Forget it, if I had known that Miss Shen was looking for you, I would never have helped her find you!"

Long Aotian sat to the side without saying a word, but in his heart he had already cursed Shen Lian a hundred times. What kind of debt did this guy get into? Why should he have to pay it now? What a sin!

However, for the sake of Shen Juanxin's whereabouts, he forcibly suppressed these thoughts.

After sizing him up, Chu Shiye said, "Let me ask you, if Miss Shen were in danger right now, would you risk everything to save her?"

Long Aotian: "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright, in that case, go to the mines outside Jingcheng and find the Changsheng Gang's stronghold. Miss Shen should be there now."

Long Aotian nodded and was about to get up and leave when Chu Shi suddenly called out to him, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'm a straightforward person and I don't like all that fancy stuff."

As he spoke, he forced himself to stand up, walked up to Long Aotian, and bluntly said, "I like Miss Shen, I've fallen in love with her! You can kill me now, but I will never give up!"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian said nothing, but simply turned and continued to leave.

Chu Shi was somewhat surprised. He followed Long Aotian's footsteps and asked, "You're not going to kill me?"

Without turning his head, Long Aotian replied, "It's your business if you like her, and it's her business whether she agrees or not. I trust her, so I don't care what you say to me. But you've ventured into such a dangerous place to find me for her sake, so for both reason and emotion, I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shi fell silent.

Long Aotian smiled slightly, pushed open the door, and walked straight out.

He had complete confidence in Shen Juanxin. To be honest, liking and loving are inherently ethereal things, like stocks in the stock market. You don't know if they will rise or fall tomorrow, or whether you will become rich or go bankrupt.

If Shen Juanxin has truly changed her mind, what can he do? Does he have to seek revenge to achieve his desires? That's simply unnecessary…

"My lord, how did it go?" Jiang Beichuan had been waiting outside the door. Long Aotian nodded and said, "Hmm, have you heard of the Changsheng Gang at the mines outside Jingcheng?"

"The Changsheng Gang?" Jiang Beichuan replied, "I only recently heard about this Jianghu sect. It's said to have been founded not long ago. The leader was originally a death row inmate who managed to escape from prison due to the Jingcheng riots. A few days ago, wealthy merchants from various prefectures and counties near Jingcheng fled overnight by carriage, only to be robbed on the road. It's said that it was this group of Changsheng Gang members."

As he said this, he scratched his head and said, "Hey, what was the name of that leader again...?"

After listening, Long Aotian nodded and said, "It's alright. It sounds like a hastily formed sect; it probably won't amount to much. It's just that I'm tired of staying in a place like that..."

Although Chu Shi had assured him that Shen Juanxin was safe in the Changsheng Gang, he was still somewhat worried.

"Beichuan, go find Her Highness the Princess and ask her to lend me some manpower. I'll go find Brother Bai. Today, we'll drive all the living dead in Jingcheng to the Ghost Market!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"

Without further ado, Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan immediately split into two groups. Jiang Beichuan found Pinru and borrowed five hundred elite soldiers to go to the mine with Chen Lian. Long Aotian, on the other hand, found Bai Yuhua and told him how to drive away the undead, instructing him to drive all the undead in Jingcheng to the Ghost Market.

After arranging these matters, Long Aotian led five hundred elite soldiers directly to the mine outside Jingcheng.

Looking at the already sizable Changsheng Gang camp, Chen Lian immediately said, "These guys are really audacious! They actually dare to profit from the national crisis! This is treason! Men, come with me and charge in, leave no one alive!"

Five hundred elite soldiers behind him: "Yes!"

Just as Chen Lian was about to make her move, Long Aotian stopped her. Chen Lian was puzzled and frowned, asking, "What, Lord Shen, are you going to stop me?"

Long Aotian shook his head and replied, "Although what these guys are doing is treason, in the current situation, they are just sticking together for warmth. It is really inappropriate for you to take action without first understanding the situation."

Unable to argue with him, Chen Lian immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Fine, fine, then tell me, what do we do now?"

“It’s simple. No matter how they decide to deal with me, I have to get my wife out first.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beichuan immediately said, "Sir, let's go together and rescue your sister-in-law!"

Long Aotian patted him on the shoulder and said, "No need, Beichuan. I can handle this small matter by myself." After saying that, he rode alone, slowly pulling the reins and heading towards the Changsheng Gang's stronghold.

Outside the camp gate, several Changsheng Gang disciples saw him and stepped forward with spears, shouting, "Who goes there and dares to trespass on the territory of my Changsheng Gang!"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian immediately clasped his hands and said, "My name is Shen Congxin. I have come to your esteemed gang only to search for my wife."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Changsheng Gang, without considering the consequences, immediately tried to drive Long Aotian away.

But since he was already here, Long Aotian was not going to leave so easily. He immediately channeled his inner strength, and with just a slight tremor, these people were sent flying.

"I advise you not to stand up," Long Aotian said to the Changsheng Gang disciples who were struggling to stand up and continue to block him. "My purpose is only to find someone, not to kill. If you continue to obstruct me, you will not have a way out next time."

Upon hearing this, the Changsheng Gang disciples dared not make any further moves and all of them lay prostrate on the ground...

Long Aotian strode confidently into the Changsheng Gang's territory, effortlessly defeating anyone who tried to stop him. Just as he had anticipated, the Changsheng Gang was nothing more than a motley crew banding together for survival…

When Long Aotian arrived at the open space of the Changsheng Gang's stronghold, he was already surrounded by layers of people, but he showed no fear at all.

"Gentlemen, I've come here for no other reason than to find someone." Long Aotian looked at them, clasped his hands in a fist and turned around, saying, "Please be merciful and don't make things difficult for me. Let me take my wife away."

"You bastard! You trespassed into my Changsheng Gang and injured my Changsheng Gang brothers. This is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

"That's right, if we just let you go like this, where will the reputation of our Changsheng Gang be!"

"Brothers, stop wasting time talking to him, let's do it!"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with them, Long Aotian had no choice but to release a wisp of his inner force once more.

This internal force was quite powerful, directly shaking the people around it back.

"Who dares to trespass on my Changsheng Gang like this?" Suddenly, a deep voice came from afar, followed by a figure that soared into the sky and landed in front of Long Aotian.

Seeing the way the other party made his entrance, Long Aotian figured that he must be the leader of the Changsheng Gang, so he immediately clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, leader. I have no other purpose in coming here but to find my wife."

"Your wife?" Ning Buyu frowned. "What's your wife's name?"

"Replying to the leader, my wife's surname is Shen, and her name is Juanxin."

Just as Long Aotian was respectfully answering, Shen Juanxin, who was helping to treat the injured, also heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Husband, husband, is that you?"

Upon hearing Shen Juanxin's voice, Long Aotian immediately raised his head and looked at Shen Juanxin not far away. He was so excited that he forgot about the Changsheng Gang beside him and hurriedly walked towards his wife.

But at that moment, a figure flashed by, and Ning Buyu took Shen Juanxin away before he could.

"What are you doing?" Long Aotian roared upon seeing this, "I have no intention of making enemies with you. Release my wife now, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Buyu sneered, "Shen Lian, you're putting on quite a show. What? Ten years have passed, and you've already forgotten your old friend!" Long Aotian hurriedly tried to explain, but Ning Buyu ignored him completely and attacked directly!
