Starting with choosing a wife, creating the most powerful Xia

Although it was already late at night, people were still coming and going in the salt fields.

It seems that two groups of people were working back and forth between day and night.

Ah Leng had some doubts.

There were only two of them on their side, while there were dozens of bandits working in the salt fields.

Even though Ah Leng was confident in her skills, she felt the risk was too great. Moreover, as far as she knew, Chu Xuan had never shown his martial arts skills, so they must be quite ordinary.

In this situation, how would he hunt down the people in the salt fields and lure them into the trap outside the village?

Just as he was thinking, Chu Xuan suddenly took the jar off his back, walked to the top of the salt field, and aimed it at the densest part of the crowd.

Then, he opened the jar, lit a tinderbox, stuffed it into the jar, and threw it at the crowd.

The next instant, sparks flew from the jar as it fell into the crowd, where it suddenly exploded with a deafening roar!

Smoke and dust billowed up below, and screams and cries of agony filled the air!

A Leng stared blankly at Chu Xuan. His handsome face, illuminated by the firelight, seemed to glow in profile, making it impossible to look directly at him.

It became.

Chu Xuan was extremely excited at this moment.

That jar contained nothing but gunpowder!

The reason he initially came to the nameless mountain was not only because of the iron ore, but also because of the sulfur and saltpeter.

Two days ago, while wandering around the mountain, Chu Xuan found a small amount of sulfur saltpeter and some charcoal from the kitchen. He then made a jar of gunpowder.

Although the quantity was small, only a little over a pound.

However, in the era of cold weapons, the sudden appearance of gunpowder was a complete game-changer, leaving only a small portion as a last resort while bringing the rest with them.

It was precisely because of this incident that he had the confidence to sneak into the salt fields at night with Ah Leng and the other person.

Hearing the wails below, Chu Xuan felt a surge of joy and burst into loud laughter.

Meanwhile, in the salt fields, all the bandits were startled by the loud noise and rushed out to check. They saw that the people who had been working were now covered in dust, suffering from tinnitus and blurred vision, lying on the ground unconscious.

A few more were seriously injured when they were hit by shards of tile from the exploding can. If they were lucky, they would be seriously injured; if not, they would die.

One-Eyed Dragon spent the night in Yantian, and upon witnessing this scene, he was instantly enraged.

He never expected that someone would dare to cause trouble in his salt fields in this nameless mountain area.

Panic and anger gripped him. He had just arranged for men to take away the wounded or even dead bandits to see if they could be treated, and was preparing to find the troublemaker and tear him to pieces, when he heard laughter coming from above.

Looking up, two figures, presumably a man and a woman, stood on the cliff above the salt fields, looking down. Their figures were clearly illuminated by the firelight.

"Capture them! Avenge our brothers!"

The one-eyed man roared.

At his command, the bandits, filled with rage, grabbed their broadswords and chased after the two men.

At this moment, Chu Xuan and A Leng had already untied their horses and climbed onto them. To prevent the bandits from falling behind, the two lingered in place for a while.

Only when he saw that they had caught up and the sound of galloping hooves echoed behind him did he spur his horse and charge towards the nameless village.

One-Eyed Dragon followed behind the bandits, looking at the two figures from behind. Although they were both masked, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

A sense of panic welled up inside me.

The power of that unknown weapon was truly terrifying to him; it was like a thunderclap in broad daylight, a divine object he had never seen before.

The reason why the one-eyed man recovered so late was partly because he was worried that the other person had something like that, but the next second, he became excited again.

That thing is very powerful, but it can't kill so many of them all at once. As long as we capture that person and force him to make these things for us, we can not only be king of Wuming Mountain, but also dominate the whole area without any problem!

Where would I ever again submit to someone else?

Upon realizing this, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the one-eyed man's eyes, and he shouted at everyone to increase their speed even further.

But as he continued the chase, he was suddenly astonished to discover that he was on the route leading to the nameless village!

Are those two people from the nameless village?

Before One-Eyed Dragon could figure things out, the main force had already arrived outside the nameless village.

Following the route they had left in advance, Chu Xuan and A Leng returned safely to the village. As soon as they dismounted, they saw the villagers gathering around them.

Behind them, the sound of horses' hooves and dust filled the air.

The momentum is astonishing.

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the dozens of people who had just helped set up the animal traps had a hint of despair in their eyes.

The robbers who came this time were not like the actors that Ah Leng brought before. Each of them exuded a murderous aura and must have killed people before.

In terms of numbers, it seems that all of One-Eyed Dragon's men came out.

Looking at it, you could hardly see the end; there were at least a hundred people.

In their panic, the crowd could only instinctively gather around Chu Xuan, their eyes filled with hope as they looked at him.

They didn't know when it started, but Chu Xuan had become their pillar of support.

With a reassuring look at everyone, Chu Xuan strode forward, pulled off the cloth covering his face, and his face was illuminated by the torchlight.

The one-eyed man was immediately terrified.

"Young Master Chu?! It's you!"

He was filled with regret. He had already told Lu Yongyuan that this person from the Chu family should not be kept, but the latter said that he was considering the bigger picture and kept him. He even gave half of the profits to Chu Xuan.

Now look what's happened! Chu Xuan caused his brothers to suffer heavy casualties, and that damned thing was probably made with the silver given to him by One-Eyed Dragon and his gang!

Thinking of this, the one-eyed man felt a sharp pain in his testicles, and his killing intent towards Chu Xuan reached its peak.

Once I find out how that thing is made, I'm going to torture you to death by a thousand cuts!

The one-eyed man thought to himself.

Dozens of meters away, Chu Xuan smiled mockingly, turned around to look at the villagers behind him, and said in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, I know you have always harbored resentment. The Chu family's neglect of you has caused you so much suffering, and they have also turned a blind eye to the bandits and tyrants who run rampant in this area."

"This is the fault of my Chu family. As a member of the Chu family, it is only natural that you all resent me. But today is the day my Chu family will repent and correct our mistakes! Today, I will wipe out these bandits and restore a bright and clear sky for you all!"

Chu Xuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was deafening to everyone's ears.

"You surnamed Chu! What arrogant words are you spouting! If it weren't for Lu Yongyuan's cowardice, how could you have survived until now?! Today I'll kill you to avenge my brothers!"
