Early the next morning, Long Lin, Liu Bang, and others left the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and went straight to the Pei County prison to retrieve Xiao He.
Long Lin and Xiao He's first meeting naturally involved another feast and revelry.
Only then did Long Lin and Liu Bang realize why the Pei County magistrate had sent him to Stone Mountain to suppress bandits—it was all a scheme by the magistrate's concubine, Shen Yuan'er.
It turned out that since marrying the Pei County magistrate, Shen Yuan'er had bewitched him with her outstanding beauty, and the magistrate obeyed her every word. However, Shen Yuan'er was not a respectable woman; she was particularly fond of sexual matters. The Pei County magistrate, a good-for-nothing, had long been weakened by her and could no longer satisfy her needs.
Xiao He, on the other hand, was handsome and assisted the Pei County magistrate in managing state affairs as a clerk, frequently entering and leaving the inner court. Shen Yuan'er then set her sights on him. However, Xiao He was only interested in literature, law, and governance; he was not the kind of person to indulge in illicit affairs. Shen Yuan'er repeatedly tried to seduce him, even throwing herself at him, but he refused.
Xiao He even intended to tell the magistrate of Pei County about it. However, before Xiao He could inform the magistrate, Shen Yuan'er, enraged and ashamed, blew a gust of wind that carried Xiao He to Shitou Village, where he suffered a crushing defeat and nearly lost his life at the hands of the bandits.
"So that Shen Yuan is a resentful woman! Brother Xiao, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll avenge you!"
Long Lin laughed heartily, patting his chest. He had already secretly devised a plan to deal with Shen Yuan'er.
"Brother Xiao, why didn't those bandits kill you? They're not exactly merciful people!"
Liu Bang asked, puzzled.
Xiao He shook his head, "I'm not too sure either, but I heard from the bandits that the chieftain of Stone Mountain received a letter from some heroine of Dang Mountain, and then changed his mind and didn't kill me!"
"Heroine of Dang Mountain?"
Long Lin exclaimed, immediately perking up and asking.
Xiao He looked at Long Lin and said, "What, Brother Long, do you know her?"
Long Lin nodded, "We only met once, but it's a pity. The Stone Mountain bandits have all been killed, and the stronghold has been burned to the ground. Otherwise, it would have been good to capture the chieftain alive and interrogate him about Mu Wanxin's whereabouts." Over
here, Fan Kuai and Chang Tianba had already begun telling Xiao He about Long Lin's heroic rescue of the heroine. After hearing this, Xiao He admired Long Lin even more and immediately insisted on kowtowing to acknowledge Long Lin as his savior.
Long Lin naturally declined, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Xiao, Brother Liu, since we hit it off so well and get along so well, how about we become sworn brothers?"
Liu Bang and Xiao He readily agreed. At this time, Pan Kuai also joined in the fun, while Chang Tianba and Ying Tong stood by with envy, though they dared not speak due to seniority. After all, Long Lin was their master!
Right there in the restaurant, Liu Bang immediately set up an incense table before the owner, and Long Lin, Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Fan Kuai swore an oath to heaven, slaughtering a chicken and drinking blood to become sworn brothers.
Among them, Xiao He was the eldest, Liu Bang the second, Fan Kuai the third, and Long Lin the fourth, immediately arranging their order according to seniority. Chang Tianba and Ying Tong addressed them as "Grandpa," "Second Grandpa," "Third Grandpa,"
and so on. Long Lin naturally understood that this sworn brotherhood was temporary and would naturally dissolve once Liu Bang rose up and became king. However, it was the best way to consolidate their fighting strength.
Everyone was overjoyed that day, drinking themselves into a stupor. They found a carriage to take them to Liu Family Village to rest. Old Master Liu suddenly had three more sons, and he was so happy he almost fainted.
Of course, it wasn't all joy; there was also fear and worry. Long Lin, whom he had once revered as a god, was now their godson—how could he be at ease?
However, Long Lin, of course, didn't care. He was thinking of Liu Yu'er's little face, waiting for his kisses, and her snow-white body writhing in her boudoir, waiting for him to hold and press her down.
"Ah...ah...brother, harder!"
In the stillness of the night, Liu Yu'er's intoxicated cries echoed from her boudoir.
People say that drunkenness breeds recklessness, and Long Lin had drunk quite a bit today, at least eight parts drunk, so his passion was even more heightened, until he brought Liu Yu'er to the peak of passion and then melted away like spring water.
"Brother, now you're my sworn brother, when are you going to propose to my father?"
Liu Yu'er nestled in Long Lin's arms, pouting sweetly.
Long Lin laughed heartily. Of course, he had no intention of marrying Liu Yu'er; it was just a lie he made up with Lü Zhi to get her. He immediately said, "This matter needs your sister-in-law's involvement. It would be too abrupt for me to bring it up alone. Besides, isn't this fine as it is?"
Liu Yu'er pouted, dissatisfied, and said, "I knew you liked my sister-in-law, you don't like me at all!"
Long Lin put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Is that so? Then I'll really like you today, even more than I like your sister-in-law, just don't cry out in pain!"
With that, Long Lin ignored Liu Yu'er's struggles, flipped her over, straddled her, and mounted her. The four-foot-wide bed became like a vast grassland, and they galloped freely.
As they rode across the grassland, Long Lin thought about how to get closer to Shen Yuan'er. He heard Liu Yu'er's painful yet excited cries from beneath him, as he vigorously kneaded her watery skin. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
"Brother, why did you stop! Hurry up... Yu'er wants more!"
Liu Yu'er cried out in dissatisfaction, bringing Long Lin back from his reverie.
"Oh!"
Long Lin moved more forcefully, but it hurt Liu Yu'er. She frowned and cried out softly, "Brother, be gentle..."
Long Lin groaned and whispered in Liu Yu'er's ear, "Yu'er, how about I get you a bottle of whitening cream tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Yu'er squirmed.
"Then tell me where I can buy pearls!"
Long Lin had a wicked smile on his face, as if the person beneath him wasn't Liu Yu'er, but Shen Yuan'er.
"Pearls, they have them in the jewelry store in Pei County, but they're so expensive!"
Liu Yu'er said in surprise.
"Expensive? I'm not afraid!"
Long Lin suddenly laughed and began to move quickly on Liu Yu'er, throwing her little boat into a raging storm...
That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, making people feel lazy and languid.
On the back street of the inner yamen of Pei County, a peddler dressed in gray cloth, wearing a large straw hat, and carrying a bamboo pole, quietly approached.
"Rouge...flower red..."
he called out somewhat hesitantly, then took the pole from his shoulder and squatted down at the back gate of the inner yamen.
A moment later, the back gate creaked open, and a petite and clever girl of sixteen or seventeen emerged. Upon seeing the peddler, she exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, why isn't Pockmarked Brother here today? Who are you?"
The peddler quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly, and smiled, "Oh, you must be Miss Yanzi? Pockmarked Brother is ill; he asked me to deliver rouge and flower red to his wife on his behalf!"
The girl nodded, glanced at the peddler again, and then said, "Yes, it's me... Do you have any good stuff today?"
"Yes..."
the peddler said with a smile, then opened his pole, revealing a neat row of various rouge boxes. Among them, a dozen or so small ceramic bottles were the most eye-catching.
Yanzi spotted the small bottles immediately, picked one up, and asked, "What's this?"
"This is our doctor's latest pearl powder paste, with added flower essence. It can whiten your face and body when applied..."
the vendor explained with a smile.
"Really?"
Yanzi glanced at the vendor, questioning.
The vendor chuckled, "Of course it's true, look at this bottle!" He then took a sky-blue ceramic bottle from his carrying pole, saying, "This is also the latest and best stuff, made from osmanthus essential oil, sea salt, and milk specially purchased from Xianyang. Applying it to your body when bathing will make your skin smoother and more delicate."
Yanzi opened the bottle, smelled it, and indeed it smelled very fragrant. She then asked, "How much do these cost?"
"Miss Yanzi is too kind. These are trial packs, given to you and your wife to try. If you like them, then we can charge you. However, this stuff is truly excellent, and I don't think your wife would mind if it were a little more expensive!"
the vendor quickly replied.
"Hmm, you have a good tongue, and you're quite clean-looking, much better than Pockmarked!"
Yanzi was pleased to hear that it was a gift for her and casually praised the vendor.
"This is enough for three days. I'll come back at this time in three days. If Madam likes it, I can recommend some special items for her!"
the vendor said.
"Okay!"
Yanzi readily agreed, then took the items already packed in an exquisite wooden box and went back.
Watching Yanzi's slender figure, a mysterious smile appeared on the vendor's face. He took off his straw hat, picked up his load, and left the alley, calling out his wares.
This vendor was none other than Long Lin in disguise.
Long Lin bought a batch of raw materials at a high price from a pharmacy and a jewelry store, then ground and mixed them to make those items. He also spent two strings of cash to bribe Da Ma Zi, who frequently delivered rouge to the Pei County government office. He gave these newly made items to Shen Yuan'er to try.
Three days later, Long Lin came to the back gate of the government office again. Just as he expected, Yanzi was waiting for him there, looking around curiously.
"Miss Yanzi..."
Long Lin greeted her with a smile.
Seeing that it was Long Lin, Yanzi was excited and said, "You've finally arrived! You're lucky this time. The things you sent last time were very much liked by Madam, and she specifically asked me to take you in to see her!"
Long Lin chuckled and said, "As long as Madam likes them, that's all that matters." Then, he looked at the red-lacquered back gate of the inner yamen and hesitated, "I'm a grown man, isn't it inappropriate for me to enter the inner quarters without the magistrate's permission?"
Yanzi scoffed, "What are you afraid of? Just go in if Madam tells you to. Even if the magistrate blames you, Madam will take responsibility!"
"Alright, alright!"
Long Lin said, secretly delighted. Being able to meet Shen Yuan'er meant that the first step of his plan had already succeeded. Of course, Shen Yuan'er would be very surprised to see him, but Long Lin was confident that besides discovering that the rouge vendor was actually Qiu Thief of Sishui Pavilion, the most surprising thing would be the new things he had brought.
In his pocket, there was also a top-quality rose lipstick and a set of long eyelashes that could be applied.
"Hehe... Shen Yuan'er, you bitch, just you wait!"
Long Lin thought smugly as he followed Yanzi towards the inner office of Pei County.
As he expected, Shen Yuan'er, who was leisurely sipping tea in a chair, was so shocked upon seeing Long Lin that she almost dropped her teacup.
"How could it be you?"
After sending Yanzi away, Shen Yuan'er calmed down, her airs as the magistrate's wife completely gone.
Long Lin chuckled, "Madam, wouldn't it be better to offer you my family's secret recipe? Besides, the few coins I earned from stealing aren't even enough for a meal!"
"That's true!"
Shen Yuan'er smiled, her face as white as water, exuding a sweet fragrance of a hundred flowers and herbs, her beauty indeed surpassing her former charm. No wonder she had summoned Long Lin for a face-to-face meeting.
Such a wonderful thing, of course she wanted to use it long-term. However, seeing that the person selling cosmetics was none other than Long Lin, the one who had made her blush and her heart race that day, she couldn't help but think of everything besides the pearl beauty cream and the hundred-flower salt bath lotion.
Thinking of these things, she felt a dampness between her legs and a burning heat throughout her body. Chapter

Twenty-Three: Love Beyond the Wall
Update Time: 4-26 8:21:16 Words: 3327

In the southeast of Pei County, there was a silk shop called Huang's.
This silk shop was a large mansion with three courtyards. The outermost part was the silk shop, the middle part was the warehouse, and the back was the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, the faint sounds of a woman's moans could be heard from a room.
"Ah... um... ah..."
Along with these sounds, there was also the faint panting of a man, like a tiger's roar.
"Brother Long Lin, so strong... Yuan'er can't take it!"
a melodious voice, like a nightingale's song, said, as smooth as silk slipping into milk, incredibly pleasurable.
Inside the brocade bed and red curtains, a burly man and a snow-white woman were rolling together, none other than Long Lin and Shen Yuan'er, the concubine of the magistrate of Pei County.
Long Lin's back was covered in sweat, and Shen Yuan'er's black hair was also soaked with sweat. The two were stuck together, like two pieces of chewing gum, inseparable.
"Roar..."
Long Lin circulated his internal energy in the Tiger Form Xingyi Fist, his muscles bulging, like a fierce tiger subduing Shen Yuan'er, this little lamb.
"Ah..."
Shen Yuan'er trembled violently, she had trembled like this three times already. However, her flushed face wore a happy yet tired smile, her two small hands grasping Long Lin's big cannon, feeling it as hard as cast iron.
"Come, Brother Long Lin, my little mouth down there can't take it, let me serve you with my little mouth up there!"
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and the rose lipstick on her lips looked luscious, like two separated clams.
Long Lin laughed heartily and readily agreed. He hadn't yet experienced Shen Yuan'er's smooth talk, so of course he wanted to try.
Since meeting Shen Yuan'er three days ago and giving her a lipstick and false eyelashes, the woman had been overjoyed and fallen for him. Because the inner hall of the county government was inconvenient, Long Lin arranged this place.
He had already bought Huang's Silk Shop for a hefty sum. With his discerning eye, he casually produced a few cheongsam designs, had them cut, and sent to Shen Yuan'er; his business boomed.
Now, Long Lin, in Liu Bang's name, had bought two mansions and three shops in Pei County: the silk shop, a pawnshop, and a pharmacy.
The pawnshop's business was booming; Liu Bang was now a figure with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, getting everything done smoothly. In these chaotic times, the pawnshop was thriving.
As for the pharmacy, although it seemed deserted and didn't have much business, it was actually Long Lin's most profitable property. Pearl beauty cream, shower gel, rose lipstick, and so on are almost all exorbitantly priced, yet they are still in short supply. The wives and concubines of officials, gentry, and wealthy people throughout Pei County and even the surrounding prefectures and counties take pride in owning such items.
Long Lin was already very wealthy; he didn't use all of his dozen or so gold bricks. He simply had Chang Tianba melt two down in the furnace and then exchanged them for silver at the Pei County gold jewelry shop.
Because Liu Bang and Long Lin had rendered meritorious service in attacking Wolf Head Ridge and Stone Mountain, the county government had bestowed generous rewards upon them. Furthermore, Liu Family Village was already considered wealthy, so Liu Bang's expansion of his business did not arouse suspicion.
Long Lin usually oversaw the pharmacy, only coming to the silk shop when he met Shen Yuan'er.
"Brother Long Lin is so amazing! Your medical skills are superb. Do you have any medicine that can enhance a man's virility?"
Shen Yuan'er asked repeatedly.
Long Lin's eyes darted around, knowing what Shen Yuan'er was thinking. "Yes, but it's a bit troublesome to prepare!" Long Lin said with a soft hum, his hands gripping Shen Yuan'er's hair tightly. The soft warmth from the iron rod felt very comfortable.
Shen Yuan'er let out a muffled groan, her lips swirling around the iron rod, her eyes fixed intently on Long Lin.
Long Lin smiled slightly, then closed his eyes, carefully enjoying Shen Yuan'er's service until he poured all his hot water into her mouth.
"Brother Long... I wonder when that medicine will be ready?"
Shen Yuan swallowed, her eyes glazed.
"Three days later, still here!"
Long Lin said, stretching out completely like a starfish.
Shen Yuan glanced at the sky, straightened her clothes, and went outside. Outside Huang's Silk Shop, a carriage was waiting for her.
"Back to the government office!" As
soon as she stepped out of the inner gate, Shen Yuan's earlier allure vanished, replaced by the haughty and reserved demeanor of a county magistrate's wife. She called to Yanzi, who was carrying a large bundle of silk, and they rode away in the carriage.
At this time, Long Lin was already fast asleep.
"Master!"
A rough voice called out. It was Chang Tianba, who, following Long Lin's instructions, had been practicing marksmanship with Ying Tong at Liu Family Village and forging the Long family's first-generation pistol according to the blueprints left by Long Lin.
How did this kid find his way here? Long Lin was sleeping soundly after the passion subsided. He muttered a curse in his heart, reluctantly opened his eyes, put on his clothes, and got out of bed.
"Master, something bad has happened! Something's happened at the village!"
Chang Tianba shouted as he pushed open the door.
Long Lin looked up. "What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?" Chang
Tianba was already out of breath. It turned out that Liu Family Village had been attacked by a group of bandits who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Did you inform Brother Liu Bang?"
Upon hearing this, Long Lin immediately tensed up, quickly put on his coat, and asked anxiously.
"Eagle Eye went!"
Chang Tianba replied.
"Let's go!"
Long Lin said, went out, mounted his horse, and the two headed straight for Liu Family Village.
As soon as they entered Liu Family Village, they smelled a strong stench of blood in the wind.
Long Lin frowned and spurred his horse towards the inner village. Chang Tianba also followed without saying a word.
Inside the inner village, a desolate scene
unfolded. Five corpses were neatly arranged in the courtyard, with Old Man Liu and some villagers surrounding them, their faces grim.
"Old Man! What happened?"
Long Lin dismounted, and everyone gathered around. Liu Bang had not yet arrived.
Old Man Liu looked completely lost, frowning and sighing. It turned out that just at dawn, as the villagers were heading to work in the fields, a dozen or so bandits on horseback galloped in, killing anyone they saw outside the village.
The villagers fought back, some escaping back into the village, but even so, five people died. Now, the entire Liu Family Village was gripped by fear, even more terrified than when they were ambushed and killed by bandits from Wolf Head Ridge.
Last time, at least it happened some distance from Liu Family Village. But this time, the bandits had found their way to their doorstep. Clearly, this was no ordinary ambush.
Long Lin briefly inquired about the bandits' appearance, but no one recognized them. They were only described as being dressed in black, wielding large knives, and exceptionally ferocious.
Just then, Liu Bang returned.
However, given the circumstances, besides temporarily strengthening defenses, Liu Bang couldn't think of any good solutions.
"Are they remnants of the bandits from Wolf Head Ridge, or the remnants from Stone Mountain?"
Liu Bang asked Long Lin.
Long Lin shook his head; intuitively, he didn't think it was them. These people were already terrified, and besides, they would never dare to kill someone in broad daylight.
"Then who could it be?"
Liu Bang rubbed his temples, unable to think of anyone who would do such a thing.
Long Lin pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Second Brother, check the farmhands. See who didn't go to work this morning, or who isn't at the farm!"
Liu Bang was taken aback. "Fourth Brother, do you think there's a traitor in the farm?"
"Nothing, just checking!"
Long Lin said calmly, without explanation.
Liu Bang immediately issued an order to thoroughly investigate the farmhands who were not at the farm or not working in the fields today.
The farm wasn't large, and the news quickly spread. There were no farmhands who weren't working in the fields, only one farmhand was missing. This farmhand was none other than Ah San.
Long Lin, who was drinking, suddenly frowned, his face immediately darkening. He leaned close to Liu Bang's ear and whispered a few words.
"What? How could this happen!"
Liu Bang was furious, but seeing Long Lin's gaze, he calmed down and said, "Fourth Brother, let's go out for a bit!"
Long Lin told Liu Bang about Ah San's attempt to harass Liu Yu'er years ago and shared his thoughts.
Liu Bang walked away, frowning, clearly suppressing his anger. Long Lin remained silent, having long thought Ah San was dishonest, but he hadn't expected him to actually do such a thing.
The two circled the outer village before returning, their anger somewhat subsided. By then, the villagers had already disposed of the corpses. That
night, four fast horses galloped along the official road leading to the winery.
Long Lin, Liu Bang, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong were about to do something big under the cover of darkness—revenge.
Last time, over a dozen people died in Liu Family Village, and Long Lin and Liu Bang had turned the entire Wolf Head Ridge upside down. Now that someone had come to Liu Family Village to kill again, his fate would be dire.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden door of the gambling den, adorned with the large character for "gambling," was pierced and smashed open by Chang Tianba's Heaven-Piercing Spear.
A tall horse charged inside, stunning the boisterous crowd engaged in high-stakes gambling.
"Ah San, you beast, come out here!"
Liu Bang also rushed in, brandishing his Soul-Separating Sword and roaring at the crowd.
Long Lin's horse strode into the gambling den. Although he didn't speak, everyone could feel the temperature drop significantly—a chilling, murderous aura that pierced the very soul.
A slight commotion arose in the crowd; the faces of these gamblers, who had been shouting excitedly just moments before, now wore expressions of fear.
"Crack!"
A muffled sound rang out, and a hole the size of a finger appeared in the wooden wall, sending splinters flying. Eagle Eye, mounted on his horse, held his Dragon Clan's Generation Spear horizontally, the muzzle pointed at a thin man crouching there, his head in his hands.
"Get out, all of you!"
Chang Tianba shouted sharply, and the crowd rushed out. In just a few breaths, the place was empty, leaving only that one man.
"Ah San...who are those people?"
With a slight thud of hooves, Liu Bang's suppressed voice rang out.
Ah San trembled, but remained silent .
"Bang!"
Eagle Eye raised his hand and fired a shot; the bullet grazed Ah San's ear. Ah San screamed in agony, clutching his ear and jumping up; one ear was already burned.
"Ah San, have you forgotten what I said?"
Long Lin spurred his horse forward two steps, speaking calmly. His voice wasn't loud, but it immediately calmed the screaming Ah San, who broke out in a cold sweat, his legs buckling as he knelt on the ground.
"It was Shen Erbao! Master Long, Second Master, please spare me..."
Ah San screamed, lying on the ground, trembling like a dog soaked in the rain and shivering from the cold.
Long Lin and Liu Bang exchanged a glance, then gave Chang Tianba a signal before turning their horses and charging out of the casino. Liu Bang and Eagle Eye followed closely behind.
A scream came from behind, and Chang Tianba, carrying his blood-stained Heaven-Piercing Spear, leaped out of the casino gate, chasing after Long Lin and the others.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Powerful Oil
Update Time: 4-27 21:33:43 Words: 3653

Night, Liu Family Village.
In the pitch-black village, only one lamp was lit.
On a large table were many jars and pots. Long Lin was carefully dripping a semi-transparent oil into a red ceramic bottle using a copper tube.
For two days, apart from eating and normal metabolism, Long Lin hadn't left the house.
Just two days ago, after killing Ah San at the winery's casino, Long Lin had Liu Bang buy him medicinal herbs such as turtle head and fire-resistant flowers from a pharmacy in Pei County, and also had more than twenty large geckos, each as thick as a finger, caught.
These things, after special refining, could be made into the oil that Long Lin was now filling the red ceramic bottle with—a very magical oil.
Long Lin wasn't a doctor or a pharmacist, but he had used this oil before; it was a powerful supplement used during the battle on the snowy mountains. Just smelling it and rubbing a little on one's hands would warm the whole body.
Of course, this kind of oil would also be sold as a bedroom product in modern times, but its ingredients are much more complex and its effects much weaker, unlike the simple yet more potent oil that Long Lin made himself.
After filling the plate with all the oil into the ceramic bottle, Long Lin finally let out a long sigh and smiled slightly.
Back in the day, as a mercenary, he led hundreds of men through countless life-and-death situations, all for money. With money, he was willing to do anything and kill anyone, but this also honed abilities that ordinary people couldn't. He had collected so many recipes unknown to others.
Actually, things like lipstick, bath lotion, and perfume were things he concocted himself under extremely difficult conditions, following recipes for fun. He never expected them to come in so handy today, allowing him to make a fortune.
"Hiss..."
A gecko hissed in the bamboo cage.
Long Lin smiled, reached into the cage, grabbed the gecko, and let it escape.
He had enough oil.
Placing the ceramic bottle on the table, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on Long Lin's face. A name flashed through his mind: "Shen Erbao."
"Fourth Brother, is everything ready? Dinner's ready!"
Liu Bang's voice rang out from outside the door. He had personally invited Long Lin to dinner these past two days, though only he knew the reason.
"Oh, Second Brother!"
Long Lin replied, opening the door and smiling at Liu Bang. "Everything's ready. We can start tomorrow!"
"Really? Hmm… I'm just afraid Shen Erbao won't come!"
Liu Bang hesitated.
"He will!"
Long Lin said, smiling as he walked towards the inner courtyard, stretching as he did so, suddenly feeling a burning discomfort all over his body.
That night, after discussing the plan with Liu Bang for the next day, Long Lin returned to his room. However, around midnight, Long Lin slipped through the wall and into Liu Yu'er's room.
"Brother Long, I heard from Sister-in-law that you've been staying in your room these past two days. What have you been doing?"
Liu Yu'er blinked, her once innocent eyes now filled with the mature allure of a woman.
Long Lin glanced at Liu Yu'er, then mysteriously took out a small red ceramic bottle from his robes. "
This is what I'm making!" "What is this?"
Liu Yu'er twisted her body, reaching for the bottle with her delicate hands.
"You'll find out soon enough!"
Long Lin withdrew his hand, a wicked smile on his face.
Liu Yu'er was naturally annoyed that Long Lin was beating her up, but he ignored her completely, quickly washing and stripping her clean.
After a moment of coolness came intense heat. Long Lin tested the oil's effects himself, after Liu Yu'er had insisted he try it once she learned what it was.
However, Liu Yu'er's curiosity backfired. By morning, when Long Lin's anger had finally subsided, Liu Yu'er was exhausted and on the verge of death.
She had tried almost every trick in the book, but she couldn't break or soften Long Lin. In the end, she had no choice but to let him torture her like a prisoner before he was satisfied.
Long Lin was, of course, thoroughly satisfied, but seeing Liu Yu'er's pitiful, unconscious state, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. He gently covered her with the blanket before quietly leaving, leaping over the wall, and returning to his own room.
Everything proceeded according to plan. When Shen Yuan'er arrived at Huang's Silk Shop, Long Lin was already waiting there.
"Is this the medicine? How do I use it?"
Shen Yuan'er asked the same question as Liu Yu'er when she saw the oil in the ceramic bottle. And, as Long Lin had expected, Shen Yuan'er also wanted him to test the medicine himself.
Long Lin naturally wouldn't refuse. Although he and Liu Yu'er had a passionate night together, the effects hadn't completely dissipated by morning. Liu Yu'er was young, and Long Lin couldn't bear to be too harsh on her.
Opening the small bottle, Shen Yuan'er smelled a sweet fragrance, and her face flushed crimson. She twisted her legs together, her lower body already throbbing with desire.
"What a powerful medicine!"
Shen Yuan'er's red lips, painted with rose lipstick, were made even more rosy and delicate by the medicine's effects. It turned out that the oil Long Lin made was not only effective for men, but also had miraculous effects on women.
Long Lin laughed heartily, his large hands roaming over her body, deliberately teasing Shen Yuan'er until she was overcome with desire.
Sure enough, Shen Yuan'er quickly succumbed, her body burning, and she automatically pulled off her top, revealing her snow-white back already covered in sweat.
"Mmm...it smells so good!"
Long Lin chuckled wickedly, taking a deep breath and leaning closer to Shen Yuan'er's neck.
"You're so naughty..."
Shen Yuan'er giggled softly, her hands making a gesture to push Long Lin away, but upon touching his arms, she suddenly pulled him towards her. Long Lin pressed heavily against her.
"Come on...I can't wait any longer!"
Shen Yuan'er whispered in Long Lin's ear, her voice alluring.
"Damn, let me touch you..."
Long Lin ignored her, reaching out to touch her breasts.
Shen Yuan'er was already feeling uncomfortable all over and wished that Long Lin would get down to business with her right now. However, she showed no embarrassment at this moment and instead took the initiative to reach for Long Lin's large hand.
The flower water overflowed, wetting Long Lin's hands. Long Lin muttered, "You slut!" and without hesitation, he thrust two fingers in, like a knife, deep inside.
Shen Yuan'er felt a burning sensation and couldn't help but cry out, but as soon as she cried out, Long Lin pulled his hand away.
"Long Lin, what are you doing?"
Shen Yuan'er asked, her legs tightly wrapped around Long Lin's hand, dissatisfied.
"Nothing, don't rush... I'm helping you remove the obstacle!"
Long Lin groped for the hem of her skirt and pulled it hard.
"Damn, you're really something!"
Long Lin stared at her snake-like curves of legs and exclaimed in admiration.
It turned out that this slut, Shen Yuan'er, had only worn a long skirt over her clothes to meet Long Lin.
"I wanted to, I just wanted to be with you sooner..."
Shen Yuan'er covered her face and murmured.
"Good...you really are my darling!"
Long Lin praised, then picked up the red ceramic bottle from the table and said with a smile, "Actually, this oil works even better for both of us!"
"Really? Then come quickly!"
Shen Yuan'er hadn't seen Long Lin for three days, and the magistrate of Pei County seemed to have become obsessed with a courtesan at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, staying out every night. She couldn't hold back any longer. Although she had Yanzi accompany her, it was only a temporary measure and didn't solve the problem at all.
Seeing Shen Yuan'er's impatient look, Long Lin unceremoniously poured out three drops of oil.
The slightly cool oil felt refreshing on Shen Yuan'er's skin at first, as if suppressing all the heat in her body. She couldn't help but wonder, "Long Lin, this stuff isn't useless, is it? I can't feel anything now!"
Long Lin chuckled as he gently massaged the areas where the oil had been applied, helping the medicine penetrate her skin. "Don't be impatient, Madam. The medicine needs to take effect first!"
Shen Yuan'er was somewhat skeptical, but after a few breaths, she suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation in the areas where the oil had been applied, followed by a burning heat that quickly spread throughout her body.
At this moment, Shen Yuan'er looked like a shrimp just pulled from the water, her skin slightly translucent, reflecting a captivating pink glow.
Long Lin's breathing quickened. That damned Shen Yuan'er was even winking at him!
He took a deep breath and looked out the window. It was still early; perhaps Fan Kuai and Chang Tianba had already arrived at their destination!
Meanwhile, in a small alley west of Pei County...
At the entrance of a lavishly decorated mansion stood two tall men in black.
"Third Master, I truly admire Master; he even found such a remote place!"
Chang Tianba said, glancing at the mansion.
These two were Chang Tianba and Fan Kuai, sent by Long Lin. Fan Kuai rubbed his wrist. "Fourth Brother is truly remarkable; it seems he knows everything! Let's go in and see what that leopard is up to!"
Chang Tianba nodded, and the two exchanged a smile, bypassing the gate and scaling the wall.
There were no guards in the courtyard, and the two easily reached the door of the inner room. However, they heard the sounds of a man and a woman laughing and joking inside.
Chang Tianba and Fan Kuai exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and violently broke down the door, rushing in.
The two were rolling around naked together. Fan Kuai swiftly cleaved the woman in two with his knife.
The man, with delicate features and a fair complexion, was completely flustered by the sudden intrusion of the two.
"Your name is Shen Erbao?"
Fan Kuai slowly raised the blood-dripping Heavenly Fiend Blade, asking in a muffled voice like a demon god.
The man nodded subconsciously, but then tried to shake his head in denial, before Fan Kuai had already grabbed a rag and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chang Tianba chuckled sinisterly, his hands behind his back suddenly swung up, and a large sack seemed to fall from the sky, trapping Shen Erbao inside.
Shen Erbao struggled desperately inside the sack, and Chang Tianba kicked him hard: "What are you doing? We'll let you out in a minute!"
The two lifted the sack, opened the courtyard gate from the inside, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.
At the same time, Long Lin had already aroused Shen Yuan'er to the point of moaning and groaning. He then grinned wickedly and suggested to Shen Yuan'er that they change locations.
"Where?"
Shen Yuan'er clung to Long Lin, unwilling to let go, and asked in a girlish voice.
"To a place you've never been before!"
Long Lin smiled mysteriously, slapped Shen Yuan'er on the back of the head with his right hand, and she fainted.
"There's nothing I can do... You brought this on yourself!"
Long Lin looked at Shen Yuan'er, who had collapsed onto the brocade couch, shook his head, sighed, and then picked her up and carried her out. Chapter

Twenty-Five: Punishing Evil with Evil

Baihua Tower.
In a fragrant room, Long Lin placed Shen Yuan'er on the brocade couch and asked Ying Tong beside him, "Has Tianba returned yet?"
"Not yet! He should be back soon!"
Ying Tong replied, cautiously watching the movements downstairs.
Long Lin glanced at the still unconscious Shen Yuan'er and chuckled inwardly. "You bitch, you'll get what's coming to you soon!" After thinking for a moment, he asked Ying Tong, "Where is that dog of a magistrate?"
Ying Tong smiled slightly, pointed to the wall, and whispered, "He's next door!"
"Good!"
Long Lin smiled wickedly and took out the small red ceramic bottle from his pocket.
Just then, the door opened, and two men in black rushed into the room like the wind. They were carrying a large sack.
"Master, Fourth Brother, we're back!"
The two men in black were Fan Kuai and Chang Tianba, who had been ordered to capture Shen Yuan'er's younger brother, Shen Erbao.
The pocket was untied, revealing a young man who looked like a playboy, dressed only in a white silk nightgown, his face filled with terror.
"This beast was having fun with Liang'er, and my Tianba knocked him out and brought him here!"
Fan Kuai chuckled.
"Ugh..."
Shen Erbao's mouth was gagged with a rag, preventing him from speaking. His eyes were filled with extreme fear, but when he saw Long Lin and the others, he showed utter disgust and hatred.
"Damn it! You dare look at me!"
Chang Tianba cursed without hesitation, slapping Shen Erbao hard on the head.
Shen Erbao knew what had happened and simply remained silent. However, when he saw Shen Yuan'er on the bed, he became terrified again, stammering and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
But Long Lin and the others wouldn't pay him any attention.
Long Lin listened carefully to the groans and moans coming from next door, smiled slightly, and knew the time had come. He immediately gave Chang Tianba and Ying Tong a look and whispered, "Make your move."
Then, amidst Shen Erbao's terrified and suppressed groans, his two legs were spread wide apart, one on each side.
Fan Kuai stroked the Heavenly Fiend Blade, grinning as he stared at Shen Erbao's genitals.
"Ugh...ugh..."
Shen Erbao's eyes widened as he struggled desperately, but his body was bound, and his legs were held captive, so he couldn't break free.
The Blood Fiend Blade, gleaming with a bloody light, slowly approached Shen Erbao. Unable to struggle, he finally collapsed when the blade was near his trousers. A hot liquid soaked his pants, and he shuddered and went limp.
"Damn, what bad luck!"
Fan Kuai cursed, forcefully slicing the trousers with the tip of the blade, tearing a large hole in them.
"Damn, this guy's got pretty features, but I didn't expect his thing to be so big!"
Long Lin shook his head, then suddenly laughed, "You'll get even bigger in a bit..."
He poured oil from the small red ceramic bottle onto the manhood. In just a few breaths, the manhood turned purplish-red and swelled. Whether from pain or excitement, Shen Erbao actually woke up.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing rapid, like a bull in heat.
"Kid, listen up! This is your sister, right? I have a grudge against her. If you sleep with her, I'll spare you; if you don't, I'll castrate you!"
Fan Kuai said viciously, brandishing the Heavenly Fiend Blade.
Shen Erbao seemed to understand something. He turned to look at Shen Yuan'er, his breathing becoming even more rapid!
"Really?"
Shen Erbao knew these people were capable of killing, and he was currently feeling extremely uncomfortable. He didn't care if it was his sister or not; he would sleep with any woman.
"Of course it's true. To do it or not?"
Fan Kuai sneered.
Shen Erbao gritted his teeth: "To do it!"
Fan Kuai laughed and said, "That's right!" He immediately stepped forward and untied the rope from Shen Erbao's hands. He also ripped the rag from his mouth.
"Kid, if you dare to scream, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Fan Kuai, of course, didn't forget to warn him again, but Shen Erbao let out a muffled groan and climbed onto Shen Yuan'er like a dog.
The grease prepared by Long Lin had an extremely strong aphrodisiac effect; excessive use could even cloud one's mind. Because Shen Yuan'er had used quite a bit, she was now somewhat delirious.
As Shen Erbao began his actions, Shen Yuan'er also woke up, but the intense sensation seemed to have made her lose her mind. Ignoring who was on top of her, she began to scream with pleasure.
Long Lin gave Fan Kuai a look, and he quickly retreated with Chang Tianba and Ying Tong.
At that moment, in the adjacent boudoir, a fat man was embracing a heavily made-up woman in a passionate embrace. Suddenly, he froze, then listened carefully, and cursed, "Damn it!" He pushed the woman away, strode out the door, and stormed out.
Bang! The door was kicked open from the outside.
The magistrate of Pei County saw Shen Erbao on top of Shen Yuan'er. His fat and cheeks jerked violently, his eyes widened, then narrowed again. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Beast! Bitch!" before striding away.
Standing on the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, watching the magistrate of Pei County return angrily to the county office with his men, Long Lin and the others laughed heartily, then left the pavilion together, riding fast horses towards Liu Family Village.
Of course, Long Lin didn't forget to give the proprietress of Baihualou a hefty reward.
Not long after Long Lin and his men left, a squad of fully armed soldiers stormed into Baihualou and took away Shen Erbao and Shen Yuan'er, who were still rolling around on the brocade couch.
At Liu Family Village, a lavish banquet was already laid out. Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Cao Can were all present, drinking and discussing the events at Baihualou.
"You didn't see it? That dog of a magistrate caught that slut with her brother, screaming like a cat, his face turning green with rage! Hehe… the brother-in-law got cuckolded, now that dog of a magistrate is a cuckold!"
Ying Tong recounted their scheme against the Shen brothers with great enthusiasm and spittle flying, praising and admiring Long Lin's brilliant strategy and brilliant planning, which had greatly avenged Liu Family Village.
Besides avenging Shen Erbao and Shen Yuan'er, Liu Bang was also delighted and even more grateful to Long Lin for avenging Xiao He and Liu Family Village. However, Xiao He seemed somewhat worried at this moment, saying, "Brothers, that magistrate isn't stupid. If he finds out that we were the ones behind this, things could get very bad!"
Liu Bang looked at Long Lin, but Long Lin smiled without saying a word, simply sipping his wine.
"Damn it! We're afraid he'll piss me off if he pushes me too far!"
Fan Kuai, slightly drunk, said loudly.
Everyone knew Fan Kuai had a fiery temper, so no one responded to him. Liu Bang said to Long Lin, "Fourth brother, what elder brother said makes sense. What should we do?"
Long Lin downed his wine in one gulp and slammed it heavily on the table. "If we're always afraid of retaliation, we'll never accomplish anything great! I think third brother is right! However, we definitely have to kill that damn magistrate, but only if we have stronger capabilities first!"
Xiao He gestured for Ying Tong to pour wine for Long Lin before saying, "Fourth brother, your martial arts are the strongest among us, and you're both brave and resourceful. How do you suggest we improve our strength?"
Long Lin then explained his ideas one by one.
"Alright! Let's do as Fourth Brother says! Tomorrow I'll gather everyone in Liu Family Village and have them all practice martial arts and gunnery!"
After Long Lin's words, Liu Bang immediately made the decision.
Chang Tianba also said, "Master, leave the gun-making to me. I guarantee I'll make four pistols exactly like the ones Eagle Eye has within ten days."
Long Lin nodded and smiled, "That's right, but these pistols are for our own self-defense. We also need to make use of that piece of meteorite. Let's make a hundred weapons first, and then use the rest to make some thunderbolts! With these things, even if that dog of a magistrate tries anything bad, he won't be a match for us!"
Sure enough, the next day Liu Bang gathered all the young men in Liu Family Village, divided them into groups, and lined up to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies.
Meanwhile, Chang Tianba's ironworks was operating at full capacity, refining the huge meteorite and forging it into swords and knives. Of course, the Long family's first-generation pistols were being manufactured in secret.
Long Lin personally led people to collect charcoal and saltpeter to manufacture a batch of bullets.
He was manufacturing more and more bullets, and his body was filled with them. In his spare time, he naturally
spent it chatting with Liu Yu'er and Lü Zhishuang! Copper was cast into molds, cooled, and then meticulously hand-polished before being filled with specially formulated explosives—these were the bullets for the Long family's first-generation pistols.
Long Lin knew very well that although firearms were far more powerful than cold weapons, they had a fatal flaw here: a lack of ammunition. Therefore, these firearms could only save lives, not be mass-produced.
He simplified the Twelve Zodiac Xingyi Quan and passed it on to one hundred able-bodied young men in Liu Family Village. These men were originally farmers, all strong and healthy. After a few days of martial arts training, they immediately transformed, becoming as fierce as tigers and wolves.
Long Lin certainly wouldn't take these men to conquer the world, but Liu Family Village was Liu Bang's hometown. Without a force, they might be devoured by bandits and rebel armies in the future chaos.
The village was reinforced, and Long Lin himself took out a gold brick and bought stone slabs to build a stone wall around the entire village, adding arrow towers and gun emplacements. A moat was dug outside, transforming Liu Family Village into a fortress that could be attacked or defended at will.
Although there were only a hundred or so able-bodied men, their familiarity with the terrain and the sturdy fortifications were enough to withstand an attack from a thousand men.
With these advantages, Liu Bang naturally trusted and respected Long Lin even more, and became even more convinced of Long Lin's prophecy that in a few years he would become a figure like the First Emperor, able to command the heavens and wield power over the world.
Of course, all of this was thanks to Long Lin, although he still didn't know where this person came from.
Xiao He gradually demonstrated the strength he had gained from years of experience as a clerk in charge of administration. This strength, though nothing more than coordinating various parties, arranging manpower, and managing finances, was all done in an orderly manner, reminding Long Lin of the saying: "Manage your family, govern your state, and bring peace to the world!"
Cao Can did not participate in the affairs of Liu Family Village; he remained in Pei County, inquiring about the magistrate's whereabouts. Soon, news arrived that the magistrate had secretly silenced Shen Yuan'er and Shen Erbao.
Long Lin breathed a sigh of relief, because if Shen Yuan'er hadn't died, there would likely have been further complications. This woman was definitely not simple; she was ruthless and extremely cunning, and staying in Pei County would have been of no benefit to them.
However, Long Lin didn't know that even if Shen Yuan'er hadn't died, she no longer posed a threat to him, because the excessive use of oil and being caught in the act of having an affair with her brother by the magistrate had driven her to the brink of madness.
Ten days later, at the Liu Family Village threshing ground.
Two neat rows of small wine jars had already been arranged in the distance.
Bang, bang, bang…
Liu Bang and his men were enthusiastically practicing their marksmanship, each wielding a large-caliber pistol from the Long family.
On the outer street of Liu Family Village, dozens of villagers, armed with gleaming swords, were practicing combat under the tutelage of Pan Kuai and Chang Tianba, their shouts echoing throughout the village.
“Brother… what did the magistrate want with you yesterday?”
Liu Bang asked, glancing at Xiao He, who was silently firing his gun beside him.
Since returning from Pei County yesterday, Xiao He had rarely spoken, seemingly preoccupied.
“The magistrate of Pei County has received the order to send five hundred convicts to build the Epang Palace within two months! Anyone who fails to arrive by the deadline will be executed!”
Xiao He sighed.
“Then send them. What’s there to worry about? We send a batch every year!”
Liu Bang said dismissively.
"It's a pity that the magistrate of Pei County appointed you to escort the prisoners this year! I've already told you, Second Brother, that you are seriously ill and cannot travel far, but the magistrate only said he would consider it, without specifying who else to send. That's exactly what I'm worried about!"
Xiao He fired a shot, missing the wine jar, then simply put the gun away and turned to sit down at the stone table.
Escorting prisoners was no easy task, and Liu Bang couldn't help but feel disheartened.
"What are you worried about? Last night I observed the stars and saw the southeastern star appear, a perfect opportunity for Second Brother to rise to power. Second Brother must go!"
At this moment, a loud laugh rang out, and Long Lin had appeared unnoticed.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Goddess of the Imperial Shrine
Update Time: 4-29 10:09:20 Words: 3319

A dirt road, winding and turning, leads to the distant Xianyang.
On this dirt road, a special group of people are traveling. They were dressed in tattered clothes, their faces pale and sickly, bound together by ropes, dragging their heavy steps.
Five tall horses carried officials in black robes, each with swords at their waists and bows and crossbows on their backs, protecting the convicts. Among
the convicts, a dozen or so were unbound, wielding clubs and shouting orders to urge the others onward.
These were the convicts to be escorted to Xianyang to build the Epang Palace. They numbered five hundred in total, having set out from Pei County three days prior.
The escorts on horseback were none other than Liu Bang, the head of the Sishui Pavilion, and his five companions: Long Lin, Fan Kuai, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong.
"Hurry! We must reach Rongyang Town before dark, or we'll be sleeping in the wilderness again!"
Liu Bang urged loudly, glancing at the setting sun. Liu Bang had done this kind of convict escort work many times before, but never on such a large scale, nor with such a tight schedule.
The five men were escorting five hundred people, and if anything unexpected happened on the road, they would likely lose their lives. Therefore, Liu Bang was very cautious, traveling late and resting early, trying to find markets and towns to rest in.
However, he also knew that they had already traveled for three days, covering seventy or eighty li each day, and after passing Rongyang Town, they would be surrounded by mountains and marshes.
Long Lin remained silent the whole way. These past few days, he had been constantly outwitting and outmaneuvering these people, and had unknowingly neglected his Twelve Zodiac Xingyi Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts). Now, with nothing to do, he was practicing on horseback.
It should be known that although Xingyi Quan is about using fists to defeat enemies, it actually contains a set of mantras called Xingyi Jue (Form Intent Formulas). These mantras can be practiced even without fists; one only needs to constantly recite the mantras in one's mind. Previously, he had only thought this was a legend—how could one improve without practicing fists?
But since that night when Xingyi Quan broke through to the point of releasing true qi, he had discovered that the qi within his body could gradually increase even without external fist practice, simply by cultivating the Xingyi Jue.
Long Lin appeared to be riding silently forward on horseback, but in reality, his mind was filled with a surreal image of himself. A faint white mist surrounded his body, flowing like clouds and water. However, it was obscured by the blood-red glow of the setting sun, and no one noticed.
"Second Brother, there's a Tianxiang Restaurant in Rongyang Town ahead. Not only is the wine excellent, but the people are also wonderful! Why don't we stay there tonight?"
Fan Kuai said to Liu Bang from his horse, looking at the small town that was faintly visible in the distance.
"Alright! We'll stay at Tianxiang Restaurant tonight,"
Liu Bang readily agreed. He had heard of Tianxiang Restaurant before, but it was extremely expensive, and it had never been a place for a down-on-his-luck village head like himself. But this time was different. He had recently wiped out two bandit dens and obtained a large sum of money. Moreover, Long Lin had paid for the forging of weapons, so Liu Bang had suffered no losses. This time, he was prepared to splurge and treat his brothers to a good time.
Fan Kuai laughed heartily and shouted back, "Hurry up! Get to Rongyang Town before dark, and I'll give each of you an extra half a jin of meat and a pot of wine!"
For Liu Bang and his men, half a jin of meat and a pot of wine meant little, but for these starving convicts, it was a huge reward. Immediately, the convicts guarding the prisoners blew their horns twice, and the procession's speed noticeably increased.
The blood-red sun gradually sank behind the mountains, leaving only a sliver of afterglow shrouding the earth.
Liu Bang and Long Lin, escorting the convicts, had already arrived at the gates of Rongyang Town. Rongyang Town, though called a town, was actually a small city.
Because of its location on a major transportation route, although it lacked real estate and farms, commerce was very developed. The small town was lined with shops and was a must-pass for merchants from the surrounding area.
Of course, its relative prosperity also made it a target for bandits from the surrounding mountains. Therefore, Rongyang Town later collected donations from merchants from all over to build stone city walls, and government troops were stationed in the town year-round to ensure its safety.
Before the city wall of Rongyang, which was over two zhang high, stood a tall octagonal hall, with incense smoke curling from within, its location unknown. Long Lin had already put away his Xingyi Jue (a martial arts technique) and asked Liu Bang, "Second Brother, what kind of temple is that?"
Liu Bang smiled and said, "That's the Temple of the Four Emperors, worshipped by the Great Qin Kingdom. It's said to be very efficacious. In fact, I always burn incense here whenever I escort prisoners to Xianyang!"
For some reason, Long Lin suddenly became interested and said, "Then why don't we go and burn incense too!"
Liu Bang naturally agreed, ordering the troops to continue forward. Once they reached the city walls and awaited orders, he and Long Lin rode swiftly towards the Temple of the Four Emperors.
The Qin Dynasty was powerful, and the Qin people had worshipped the Four Emperors since ancient times. After the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, countless Temples of the Four Emperors were built throughout the land to worship the gods.
These four emperors, representing the four cardinal directions—yellow, red, blue, and white—oversee the southeast, northwest, and are respectively in charge of mountains, rivers, fire, and wood. Qin had amassed the wealth of all the states, and these temples dedicated to the four emperors
, regardless of size, were built with magnificent grandeur and exquisite craftsmanship, attracting constant incense offerings from the people day and night. Long Lin and Liu Bang dismounted before the temples, offering incense. They noticed a couplet
above the lintel: "The four directions—east, west, south, and north—all point to the heavens; yellow, red, blue, and white—control the world." Long Lin saw that the statues of the four emperors depicted ancient sage kings, and knowing that Liu Bang would later proclaim himself the Black Emperor and create the Five Emperors Bell, he thought to say, "People say
there are five emperors in heaven, all sages of the previous dynasties. I wonder what emperor my second brother will be in the future?" But before he could speak, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if a woman's dreamlike voice echoed in his mind, "Brother Long Lin, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. It's best not to say such things!"
Long Lin was startled, his mind clearing instantly. Looking around, he saw no one else. Surprised, he looked again at the statues of the Four Emperors and discovered that a goddess statue had appeared below the Green Emperor's statue. She had a jade-like face, rosy cheeks, and lips like polished lacquer, and was exceptionally beautiful. Her eyes held a smile, as if a faint light shone upon him.
"Why does this goddess statue look so familiar?"
Long Lin wondered to himself. Liu Bang was urging him on, so he had no time to think further and left the Four Emperors Shrine to mount his horse and rejoin the group. As they approached the city gate, a sudden realization struck Long Lin, and he became even more astonished. The goddess statue's appearance was strikingly similar to that of the chivalrous woman from Dangshan, Mu Wanxin, whom he had seen that day.
"Damn, could I be seeing things? How could that be?"
Long Lin, who had never been particularly respectful of ghosts and gods, thought to himself, a wry smile on his face. He quickly dismissed the thought and followed the group into Rongyang Town.
Tianxiang Tower, located in the southwest of Rongyang Town, was an exquisite three-story wooden building. Behind it were over a hundred houses, all owned by Tianxiang Tower. As dusk settled, red lanterns were hung up upstairs, dazzling from afar.
After settling the five hundred convicts, Long Lin, Liu Bang, and the other three went straight to the main building for drinks. Upon entering, a beautiful woman in light gauze led them to the second floor.
Tianxiang Restaurant was extremely popular; even the convicts were guarded by skilled restaurant staff, so there was no chance of anything going wrong. They could eat, drink, and have fun without worry. As for the expenses, Liu Bang naturally covered them. Although
it was just getting dark, the restaurant was already almost full, with beautiful women attending to each table, and the hall filled with singing and dancing. Impatient customers could also go up to the third floor at any time, where there were private rooms with even more beautiful women at their service—no wonder the business was so good.
Long Lin and the others chose a table by the window, and soon the food and drinks were served. The five of them drank heartily.
However, Long Lin's mind wasn't entirely on the wine. He felt something was off about the Four Emperors Temple incident, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Liu Bang, a perceptive man, chuckled and asked, "Fourth Brother, are you perhaps feeling unwell?"
"Second Brother, what are you saying? We martial artists are strong and healthy; when have we ever been unwell? Come, let's drink!"
Long Lin laughed heartily. Since they couldn't figure it out, they decided not to think about it!
After several bowls of strong liquor, they were all slightly drunk and went to watch the slender dancers perform.
"Hmph... Third Brother, I'm truly impressed. You even find these common beauties attractive; how will you manage in the future?"
A man at a table across from Long Lin and the others suddenly spoke out loudly, immediately drawing the attention of the other drinkers.
"What are you looking at! In my eyes, they're all ugly monsters!"
the man shouted, seemingly having drunk a bit too much. In truth, in everyone's eyes, the dancers were of above-average beauty, but in his eyes, they were worthless.
The drinkers began to whisper amongst themselves, speculating about the man's background.
"Stop guessing! I'm the envoy from Dang County to receive beauties! When the beauty-gathering official from the south returns, I'll show you what real beauties are!"
the man shouted again. His companions, seeing he was drunk, quickly pulled him downstairs.
What was said in jest was taken seriously. The drinkers began discussing the beauty-gathering official again.
It turned out that Qin Shi Huang, during his reign, was extremely fond of beautiful women. He built the Epang Palace in Xianyang, collecting beauties from all over the land. He had already housed the concubines of the six kingdoms there, and had sent countless beauty-gathering officials to various places to find beauties to fill the Epang Palace.
"Damn, that's what an emperor should be like! That's how one should be!"
Liu Bang exclaimed.
Long Lin smiled slightly and lowered his voice to Liu Bang, "Second brother, aren't you afraid your wife will be angry?"
Liu Bang was startled, then stopped speaking and raised his cup to drink.
Long Lin and the others exchanged glances, smiling without saying a word; they all knew Liu Bang was somewhat afraid of his wife. However, Long Lin had other thoughts in his mind, because his relationship with Lü Zhi was extraordinary.
Thinking of Lü Zhi inevitably brought to mind Liu Yu'er; the two exquisite beauties flashed through his mind, and Long Lin suddenly felt the effects of the wine rise, his body flaring with heat.
"Damn, we haven't had a good time these past few days! Let's have some fun today!"
Liu Bang laughed heartily.
The group drank for a while longer before heading straight to the third floor. On the third floor, a red carpet was laid out, beautifully decorated, and dozens of fair-skinned young women, veiled in light gauze, sat or stood there, waiting for the guests to choose.
Long Lin and his five companions naturally didn't stand on ceremony, each choosing one to enter a private room. After bathing, they began their passionate encounter in the fragrant chamber.
"What's your name?"
As the warm water gently cascaded over him, Long Lin comfortably enjoyed the beautiful woman's soft hands bathing him, asking with his eyes slightly closed.
The woman was about twenty years old, tall and slender, with a well-proportioned figure. What was rare was her flawless, snow-white skin and a pair of phoenix eyes that shone with a soft light, which made Long Lin choose her at first glance.
"My lord, my name is Qing'er!"
the woman said happily, her voice dreamlike and ethereal. Long Lin trembled and abruptly opened his eyes.
To Long Lin, the woman's voice was extremely familiar; it was none other than the voice of the woman who had warned him in the Temple of the Four Emperors that heavenly secrets should not be revealed.
