Pick up a princess to be your wife

Li Ertie spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Leave my ass! Anyone who leaves today is the one who was blind and misjudged me," Li Ertie said angrily.

"The boss is right, none of us are cowards."

“If the boss trusts Brother Li Mu, and wants to work for you, then we will work for you too.”

"Zhou Wanfu is wielding over a hundred knives and acting arrogantly. We only have ten or so knives. Even if we can't defeat him, we should at least dampen his arrogance!"

"Yes, with us taking the lead, there will definitely be more people resisting!"

Everyone spoke up, and no one wanted to leave.

They were all people who had been bullied by Zhou Wanfu. Who didn't know what kind of person Zhou Wanfu was?

Today he persecutes Li Mu, tomorrow it will be their turn.

However, it is clear that no one has much hope of winning against Zhou Wanfu.

“If the brothers work together, the fifteen of us are enough to crush the enemy’s hundred men,” Li Mu said in a deep voice.

With everyone unafraid of death and choosing to fight Zhou Wanfu, Li Mu felt reassured.

"Fifteen people, killing through a hundred?" Some people found it hard to believe.

"Warfare is never about the number of people, but about determination and courage."

Zhou Wanfu always bullied the weak with his superior numbers, yet he never encountered any effective resistance.

His men were just like him—a bunch of bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.

When they arrive, we'll charge in one fell swoop and break their momentum in one fell swoop.

Those hundred-odd people will surely flee in terror.

Li Mu said.

"Understand?"

Li Ertie glanced around and said loudly, "They never expected us to fight them to the death, but we did it anyway. We all have two shoulders and one head; if we cut off their heads, we'll win."

"Brother Li Mu is right."

"The boss is right!"

"We're not going to our deaths, we're sure to win!"

……

Li Mu grinned and looked at the chainmail.

They had never been on the battlefield, and probably only knew how important armor was, but didn't know the extent to which it could actually be worn.

"Brother Ertie, let's take a few men to capture Zhou Feng. The rest of you, stay here for now," Li Mu said.

"Alright, guys, grab your gear and come with me."

Li Mu picked up a narrow knife and found that it was quite heavy, weighing more than two pounds including the scabbard.

The men took their knives, hung them at their waists, and left under the cover of night.

Arriving at the back door of the Zhou family's house, Li Mu gently knocked on the door.

"Who's knocking on the door so late at night? Getting itchy fingers? You think I won't...?"

With a creak, the courtyard gate opened.

The cursing stopped abruptly as a knife was placed against the man's neck.

"What are you doing, heroes?"

Li Mu was too lazy to waste words with this man, so he knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, had one of his men change his clothes, and then slipped through the back door.

Zhou Feng just set fire to the Li family's house; when he left, you could see the thick smoke rising into the sky from a great distance.

With that kind of fire, the Li family's house would have been reduced to ashes.

He wanted to see how Li Mu would respond.

"Young master, someone is looking for you at the back door."

"Who?"

"It was a woman, and she looked quite pretty."

"woman?"

Whose wife is coming to the door at this hour?

Zhou Feng had just sat down when he immediately got up and went to the backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he realized something was wrong.

"Why should I go pick her up in person? Let her come in and find me herself. I want to see which young lady is calling me to reminisce in the middle of the night, hehehehe."

Zhou Feng grinned slyly, and in the instant he turned around, a flash of cold light appeared.

A sharp, narrow knife was instantly placed against Zhou Feng's neck.

Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, his mouth wide open, about to shout out.

"Watch your neck if you dare to make a sound."

Feeling the chill of the blade against his neck, Zhou Feng's legs began to tremble.

The blade pressed him closer to the back gate, and then he stepped over the threshold.

At this moment, several more people gathered around.

Before he could even see who these people were, a bag was put over his head.

"Don't make a sound, come with us."

They successfully captured Zhou Feng and brought him back to the dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

Li Mu personally tied him to the pillar before removing his hood.

"Young Master Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Mu smiled faintly.

"It's you!" Zhou Feng's pupils contracted when he saw Li Mu.

“Young Master Zhou, do you recognize me?” Li Ertie came closer.

"Li Ertie?"

Zhou Feng never expected that Li Ertie would actually be in cahoots with Li Mucheng.

Whenever this guy saw him before, wasn't he always meek and obedient?

"It's me, your grandfather!"

Li Ertie stepped forward, drew his knife, and held it to Zhou Feng's neck.

"Who set the fire?" Li Ertie demanded.

The arsonist was Zhou Feng himself, but he was terrified and dared not admit it.

"What arson?" Zhou Feng feigned panic.

"You're putting on quite a show; only you and your son would do something like this," Li Ertie said coldly.

"I don't know, I really don't know! I didn't set the fire, have you arrested the wrong person?" Zhou Feng said urgently.

"You won't confess unless you suffer a bit!"

After Li Ertie finished speaking, he was about to make a move against Zhou Feng.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Feng was so frightened that he was about to confess immediately.

However, Li Mu stopped Li Ertie.

"Brother Ertie, it doesn't matter who set the fire anymore," Li Mu said.

"How can it not be important? Find the culprit, and I'll kill him!" Li Ertie said through gritted teeth.

“Because regardless of whether it was Zhou Wanfu and his son who set the fire, once we’ve taken this step, there’s no turning back,” Li Mu said.

Li Ertie thought about it again and realized that Li Mu was right.

They've already arrested Zhou Feng, and they've exposed themselves to him, so they have no intention of reconciling with him.

So regardless of whether the other party started the fire or not, the fight is a fight to the death.

“That makes sense.” Li Ertie nodded.

Li Mu gave a shout and called all his brothers to the courtyard.

Everyone gathered around, their eyes all fixed on Li Mu.

“Brothers, there are fifteen of us, but only ten sets of chainmail. So, five of us are destined not to be able to wear armor,” Li Mu said.

“I don’t need it, give it to the brothers,” Li Ertie immediately said.

"Neither do I."

"And I."

"I don't need it!"

……

Everyone said they didn't need it and wanted to give the armor to their brothers.

"We'll draw lots to decide who wears armor and who doesn't. Those who wear armor will need to be at the forefront of the charge with me," Li Mu said.

"Then there's no need to smoke, I'll wear it!"

"I'll wear it too, I want to be at the very front!"

Everyone then said they wanted to wear armor and charge to the front.

Looking at this group of loyal and righteous brothers, Li Mu was filled with emotion.

Li Ertie has a really good eye.

This group of people are loyal and courageous; each one of them is a trustworthy brother.
