CHAPTER 1840: CHAPTER 1841: SETTING OUT

"Do not harm the vitals, attack!" With your angry roar, two hundred cavalry charged within an incredibly short time!

The two hundred cavalry, without any prior discussion, split into four groups: front, back, left, and right. Each charged into the enemy lines like wolves and tigers, knocking one or two people flat with a punch. In an instant, the once ferocious mountain bandits were left only with cries and wails. On the surface, they appeared formidable, but in reality, they were just poor farmers who usually toiled in the fields and were no match for your elite troops.

This was under your order to your trusted aides to go easy. If they had drawn their blades, these people would lie in pools of blood within minutes.

The gap between elite troops and commoners cannot be compensated by numbers!

Meanwhile, Little Liu was entangled in a fight with the young man. The nearby trusted aides did not help but instead pointed fingers, praising Little Liu for his swift moves and the young man for his quick responses. As the two fought, a gust of strong wind passed by, and both suddenly suffered a severe blow to the stomach, and almost instantly, they fell to the ground, feeling their insides churn before vomiting.

You stood between them, with a hardened expression, saying, "Little Liu, your movements are too slow, and you have too many flaws! All your recent hard training has gone to waste! If we weren’t in a hurry, I would make you carry 200 pounds and run 100,000 meters!"

"Boss, boss, I was wrong! Ugh—" Little Liu opened his mouth and vomited again. Your punch was so skillful, causing maximum discomfort without harming the internal organs.

You looked down at the young man coldly and asked, "What’s your name? Where are you from?"

"A real man does not change his name while walking nor his surname while sitting. I am Wei Yan!"

Your eyebrow twitched, not expecting Wei Yan to have fallen on hard times and come to Hebei. You glanced around; your trusted aides did not use heavy hands. After the battle, not many were injured; at most, some had light wounds. These displaced people were simply unable to resist against the elite troops, and when it came to actual combat, they quickly surrendered their weapons.

You knew something about this famous general under Liu Bei. Wei Yan had considerable skills but was suppressed and marginalized by Zhu Geliang, ultimately leading to his death at the hands of Ma Dai, and his family was exterminated by Yang Yi!

To be honest, you didn’t like Zhu Geliang. If the person before you were Zhu Geliang, you would have slapped him without hesitation!

But you were quite interested in Wei Yan, someone you could use!

You stared directly at Wei Yan without a word, making his scalp tingle. In his view, your gaze was extraordinarily eerie, extremely eerie. He had never seen eyes so direct, with an unrestrained sense of aggression.

Even someone as brash as Wei Yan felt somewhat intimidated. Although he had some skills, he was still just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.

"What, what exactly do you want to do? If you want to kill or flay me, just do it quickly!"

You suddenly laughed heartily, slowly placing your hand on Wei Yan’s crown, saying in a dominant tone, "My hand only needs to exert a little force, and your brains would splatter out beautifully like a crushed orange. However..."

Your words took a turn, scanning the surroundings, and finally addressing Wei Yan, "I really appreciate your style. If I give you and these displaced people a chance to continue living and offer you excellent working conditions, what will you do?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then shouted at you, "Really!? You’re not lying to me?"

The corners of your mouth lifted slightly, and you nodded solemnly.

"If you can truly do that, I, Wei Yan, would be willing to even be your dog!"

You removed your hand from Wei Yan’s head, grabbed him up easily. Wei Yan was a southern man and still in his youth, appearing like a child before your tall and sturdy figure.

Kneeling on the ground initially, Wei Yan felt nothing much, but facing you directly, he suddenly had an illusion that standing in front of him was not a man but a giant fierce tiger, and being stared at by you, Wei Yan felt a chilling sensation all over his body.

"Whether you’re a dog depends on your own efforts." You patted Wei Yan’s shoulder, casually tore off a corner of your clothing, and tossed it to Wei Yan, "Take this piece to find Yu Jin at the Longmen Escort Agency in Wuji County, and tell them I sent you. He will properly arrange for you and your fellow villagers."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan’s knees seemed filled with lead as he knelt before you. Following Wei Yan’s action, everyone around knelt down; words were unnecessary at this moment, as any more words could not express their heartfelt gratitude.

"Hurry up, with your pace, you should be able to enter the city before the gates close if you move quickly. Oh, and discard all weapons you have on you."

"Thank you, benefactor!"

"We will meet again. Next time, show me your true capabilities!" You said with a natural smile.

"Yes!" Wei Yan responded solemnly.

Once Wei Yan and the others left, you continued on your way. Ren Hongchang was still nestled in your arms. After several experiences, she had become accustomed to appearing before you in the posture of a small woman. No woman does not yearn for a man’s embrace, even the strongest women are the same.

Ren Hongchang asked you, "Aren’t there quite a number of these people? Won’t it be too conspicuous to have them all enter Longmen Escort Agency at once?"

"Conspicuous?" You grinned, "No, quite the contrary, at this time, if I don’t act a bit more prominently, others might truly underestimate me."

Although you were still unclear about the great events of the world, you had an intuition that chaos was approaching, and you must gather a noticeable force in a short time openly.

"That Wei Yan just now had pretty good skills. In close combat, Little Liu couldn’t defeat him within fifty moves," Ren Hongchang said earnestly.

Hearing Ren Hongchang’s words, Little Liu, who initially felt he had narrowly escaped trouble, suddenly tensed up, then shrank back, noticing your predatory gaze was now focused on him.

Little Liu shrunk back, not daring to meet your eyes.

However, this time, you did not scold Little Liu, but spoke in a very calm tone, "Little Liu, you are my Chief Guard, or in other words, General Yamen. There’s no need for me to say more. I think you should clearly know in your heart what kind of attitude you should have when facing enemies who suddenly appear before me."

Little Liu was suddenly startled, immediately leapt off the running horse, rolled on the ground several times, and clasped his fists to you, saying, "Little Liu remembers!"

"With your decent pace, just run and catch up," your voice gradually came from the front.

Little Liu’s gaze became extremely determined, loudly shouting, "Yes!"

As Ren Hongchang got to know you more deeply, she discovered you were like an enigma, drawing people towards you with your unique aura. Additionally, based on her innate sensitivity as a woman, Ren Hongchang spoke the thoughts hidden in her heart, as she was the type to speak directly.

"Mu Yun, what is your purpose in going to Chang’an this time?"

You had no intention of hiding anything from Ren Hongchang in your response: "To see someone and bring her back."

"She... is a woman?"

You let out a slight chuckle, kissed Ren Hongchang’s hair that exuded a faint fragrance, and replied, "Yes, she is a woman. And she is the only woman I have been married to. She is also your eldest sister."
