Pick up a princess to be your wife

"Brothers, Brother Li Mu was right. As long as we break their momentum in one fell swoop, we will win."

Li Ertie's admiration for Li Mu grew even stronger.

He looked at Li Mu and had a feeling that the kid seemed to have been on the battlefield.

Furthermore, he knew Li Mu was skilled, but he still hadn't expected that Li Mu could beat Zhou Wanfu so badly that he couldn't fight back at all.

“As long as we brothers work together, from now on, Luyang County should have a place for us,” Li Mu said.

Despite his excitement, Li Ertie still thought about the crucial issue.

“Brother, we’ve killed so many people. If we follow the laws of the Great Yan, we’ll all be dead,” Li Ertie said.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became worried.

They were so focused on killing people that they thought they would be driven to a dead end if they couldn't defeat Zhou Wanfu.

However, Zhou Wanfu still had Yu Rong backing him up.

They could defeat Zhou Wanfu's hundred men, but Yu Rong still had a thousand soldiers at his disposal.

If Yu Rong were to step in and support Zhou Wanfu, they would probably be no match for him.

“Why be afraid of him? We’ll rob Zhou Wanfu tonight. We have knives, we can find a place outside the city to become bandits, gather a bunch of brothers, and live a much better life than in the city,” Zhao Cuo said.

"That's a good suggestion, what do you think, brother?" Li Ertie asked Li Mu.

If Zhao Cuo had followed his idea, Li Muzhen would have taken a group of brothers outside the city, and he could have made their lives much better than they are now.

Whether they were mountain bandits or outlaws, they were all targets of suppression by various forces.

We can't narrow our path anymore.

"I'm not leaving," Li Mu said.

“If we don’t leave, we have to be prepared to fight Yu Rong, but that might be a matter of life and death,” Li Ertie said.

He planned to listen to Li Mu; if Li Mu said he wouldn't leave, then he wouldn't leave. He could always fight Yu Rong again if necessary.

Having just fought a fierce battle, he's not too afraid now.

Bloodthirst and courage are forged in battle.

"Don't worry, brothers. Yu Rong will definitely come to see me in the next couple of days, and he definitely won't harm you," Li Mu said.

“How can you guarantee that? You can’t joke around with our brothers’ lives,” Li Ertie said.

“Although I don’t know who Yu Rong is, he must be a scoundrel. Zhou Wanfu will definitely go to Yu Rong to complain, and might even label us as traitors,” Li Mu said.

"Then why did you say Yu Rong wouldn't cause trouble for the brothers?" Li Ertie didn't understand.

"Try to understand people's hearts more." Li Mu didn't want to explain.

He had no contact with Yu Rong, but he could make a general assessment of Yu Rong's character.

If Zhou Wanfu tells Yu Rong that he has armor, Yu Rong will assume that he has someone backing him and will not dare to take action himself.

These days, anyone who can get their hands on armor is no ordinary person.

"Clean up the battlefield, collect the knives they left behind; we'll need them someday. After that, everyone can go back and get a good night's sleep."

Then Li Mu looked at Li Ertie and said, "Take Brother Zhao Cuo to get treatment. I'll treat the brothers well tomorrow."

“Since Brother Li Mu wants us to go back and get some sleep, then let’s go,” Li Ertie said loudly.

"Brother Li Mu, what about Zhou Feng?" Zhao Cuo asked.

If Zhao Cuo hadn't asked, Li Mu would have completely forgotten about Zhou Feng.

"Just tie him up and leave him alone," Li Mu said.

After Zhou Wanfu fled, he went straight to the Yu residence.

"Lord Yu, Lord Yu!"

Yu Rong had just lain down when Zhou Wanfu barged into her dormitory, and she was immediately enraged.

But then he remembered something and asked, "What good news?"

Perhaps Zhou Wanfu arrested He Xianzhi and profited greatly from her.

"Lord Yu, I was just attacked by a group of traitors, and more than thirty of my brothers were killed or wounded!" Zhou Wanfu said urgently.

"What?" Yu Rong sat up abruptly. "Where in Luyang County are these rebels? They actually killed more than thirty people!"

"Lord Yu, you must quickly gather the troops and wipe out those rebels! They not only have swords, but also more than a dozen sets of armor! And these aren't ordinary iron armors; they're hidden inside their clothes, so you can't tell at all!"

Yu Rong immediately stood up, a chill running down his spine.

Have traitors entered Luyang County?

"How many people are on the other side?" Yu Rong asked.

"Fifteen people in total! We have over a hundred people, and we're no match for them at all!" Zhou Wanfu said urgently.

Yu Rong's lips twitched, and his brows furrowed.

There were fifteen of them in total, facing Zhou Wanfu's more than one hundred people. Not only did they win, but they also killed more than thirty of them.

It is absolutely impossible for a soldier to take on ten men without being a well-trained soldier.

The traitor Zhou Wanfu spoke of was definitely not simple.

Luyang County had a thousand soldiers, but they didn't even have a single set of armor.

Zhou Wanfu said that the opponent's armor was not worn on the outside, but hidden inside his clothes.

This is enough to show that the opponent's armor is not ordinary iron armor.

Chain mail?

This isn't something you can buy just with money.

Who exactly are these traitors that Zhou Wanfu is talking about? Could they be the governor's men? But the governor doesn't have any chainmail.

Could it be that a rebel leader has already entered Lingnan Province? Or is it a newly emerging force in Lingnan Province?

In today's world, there are numerous separatist forces, with old forces being eliminated and new forces rising every day.

As far as he knew, there were more than ten separatist forces of varying sizes within the Lingnan region.

This doesn't even include the forces of bandits and outlaws.

Is Lingnan Road really going to descend into chaos?

"My lord, my lord?"

Yu Rong was imagining things when Zhou Wanfu, seeing that the other party didn't speak, quickly called out twice.

"Oh, who is the other party?" Zhou Wanfu asked.

"The leader is a peasant named Li Mu. I originally captured He Xianzhi today, but he captured my son instead, and he also led about ten traitors to ambush me. My son is still in his hands! Sir, please lend a helping hand and suppress these traitors!" Zhou Wanfu said urgently.

“Li Mu? Never heard of him,” Yu Rong said, squinting.

He lives in Xinpingfang.

Yu Rong nodded.

It turned out that Zhou Wanfu had indeed attacked He Xianzhi, but then someone came out to oppose Zhou Wanfu and rescued He Xianzhi.

Yu Rong felt her mind was in complete chaos, and she couldn't make sense of the relationships involved no matter how hard she tried.

"I understand. You can go back now. I'll take some people over to check it out right away," Yu Rong said.

"My lord, they are lawless and have killed so many people. We must not let those traitors escape, otherwise they will surely wreak havoc on the region!"

"Okay, okay, you should go back now."

Yu Rong waved his hand.
