[Fantasy] My World (Complete) - Chapter 21

Chapter Eight: Relentless Pursuit
"What are you looking at? Finish your meal and get back home!"
Lin Cuier rarely displayed such authority, giving me a charming sidelong glance before swaying her ample, rounded hips and heading towards the makeshift kitchen in the yard.
My heart warmed, and I quickly followed: "Sister Cuier, let me help!"
Whenever I ate at home, Lin Cuier would always bring out sausages and cured meat, or cut some fresh pork or beef to cook me some meat dishes. But being thrifty, she usually only ate the vegetables on the table, no matter how much I tried to persuade her.
Tonight, she specially made a pot of braised beef with bamboo shoots, which smelled delicious and was placed on the table. Under the dim oil lamp, with the beautiful woman beside me, my appetite was greatly aroused.
Lin Cuier felt happier watching the handsome young man eat than watching her previous men eat. This Lan Ting seemed imposing, but he was actually a bit silly. Several times she'd tried to test his character, deliberately provoking him, and he'd always turned and run away in embarrassment… Later, she realized how dangerous that was. He was a highly skilled member of the city garrison, responsible for protecting Lord Ren Lanting. If he wanted to possess her, she wouldn't have a chance to escape!
It was precisely because of this that the beautiful young widow had a good impression of her. Although she wasn't ready to marry him, being a happy brother and sister was more than enough.
She helped with cooking, washing vegetables and adding firewood, and after meals, she helped clear the table and chairs. As Lin Cuier washed the dishes with a smile, she suddenly thought that being with such a young man seemed quite nice, and maybe even having a few more babies…
Ugh! Lin Cuier blushed: 'What am I thinking?' "Bang!"
The outer door was suddenly kicked open, the second time tonight, and Lin Cuier was still so frightened she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
A woman rushed in, her eyes scanning the room, and spotted us: "Quick! Cuier, Brother Lan, I saw the Guo family's servants coming in aggressively. There are so many of them! Don't wait here and get hurt, go outside and hide!"
"Clang!"
Lin Cuier's bowl fell to the ground. Her face paled. "How could they do this? Is there no law?"
"Hey! What law? Master Guo has returned, he must have powerful backers. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. You should leave quickly... Oh, right, the leader is your older brother."
The woman glanced nervously outside. "Hurry up, I'm going out now!"
The women in the neighborhood shared many similarities: overflowing with sympathy yet timid; wanting to help but prioritizing their own safety, she quickly finished her words and ran off. Even so, Lin Cuier and I were very grateful to her.
"Lan Ting, you should leave quickly."
Lin Cuier made a decision immediately. "Although you are a member of the city garrison, they definitely value Master Guo more. His ancestors were from a noble family!"
"It's okay. My ancestors were bandits, much more powerful than them."
I stretched and sat on a small wooden stool. "Come, Sister Cuier, let's sit down and chat. Don't worry about them."
"You...how can you...leave quickly!"
Lin Cuier was anxious. "If you fight with them later, they will have even more reason to arrest you. I know you are skilled in martial arts, but don't provoke them!"
"If I'm not there, they will bully you. I won't leave."
I pulled her to sit down next to me. "With me here, no one can bully you."
A masculine aura wafted into Lin Cuier's nose, and the beautiful young widow blushed, feeling sweet inside. However, she hadn't forgotten the approaching crisis, and the noise from the street outside made her panic. She lowered her voice and said, "Lan Ting, be good. I promise you, if you leave tonight, next time I'll... I'll let you do whatever you want, okay?"
I sensed her concern and reached out to hold her smooth little hand. "I'm afraid that if I leave, there won't be a future for us. Do you think they'll let you off this time?"
"I... I have my own way of protecting myself... This is the residence of the families of fallen soldiers. If they dare cause trouble, all the widows of the soldiers will tear down the Guo family's house!"
Lin Cuier said confidently.
"Although that might be the case, I've never liked taking risks."
I said with a smile. Seeing that she wanted to interrupt, I simply leaned in and kissed her slightly raised head. "Sister Cuier, you have to believe me."
Lin Cuier's pink lips were filled with the faint scent of pear blossoms; just one kiss was beautiful. I wondered how much pleasure it would give me when I explored them, and I was eagerly anticipating that pleasure.
The shy young widow had no idea I would suddenly kiss her; her mind went completely blank. Before she could react, the door was violently pushed open for the third time that day.
The eldest son of the Lin family led the way, followed by a group of ruthless servants, dressed in matching black silk uniforms and carrying torches—clearly villains.
The servants surrounded a middle-aged man with rat-like eyebrows and a pointed mouth; his eyes were very small, making him a typical example of a bully using someone else's power.
"Sister, don't be afraid! I've brought Steward Guo! That villain won't dare bully you anymore!"
For some reason, the eldest son of the Lin family seemed to have a sudden inspiration, shouting loudly as soon as he entered, his voice audible for several meters around.
"Lin Dazhuang, don't go too far!"
Lin Cuier quickly pulled her hand back from my palm and stood up gracefully. "Lan Ting is my friend, it's none of your business. Tell these people to get out!"
Lin Cuier appeared shy and timid, seemingly weak, but she actually had her own strong will. Seeing her brother bring outsiders to bully her, just for his own selfish desires, she was very sad and upset, and her words were not polite.
Because there were at least ten torches in the courtyard, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, the middle-aged man with rat-like eyebrows and a pointed mouth had his eyes light up when he saw Lin Cuier stand up. His lewd gaze swept over her face and body, revealing a satisfied smile.
Lin Dazhuang, the eldest son of the Lin family, wasn't angry at his sister's words. He chuckled and said, "Little sister, I told you, with your brother here, don't be afraid... Brothers, hurry up and arrest that thug! Don't let him threaten my sister anymore!"
The middle-aged man with the rat-like eyebrows and pointed mouth nodded repeatedly, "What are you standing there for? Go! Arrest him and send him to jail. Does anyone think they can bully a widow in the army these days?"
"Stop!"
I shouted coldly, "I am Lan Ting from the City Guard. Who are you people, daring to arrest Lord Lan Ting's subordinates?"
Several black-clad thugs who had rushed out stopped in their tracks, their eyes immediately turning to their superior. They might not know others, but they had heard of the renowned and powerful Lord Lan Ting.
"The City Guard?"
The middle-aged man with the rat-like eyebrows and pointed mouth looked me up and down. When he saw my standard silver outfit, his expression changed. "You... what evidence do you have?"
"Take a good look!"
I took out the bronze token and threw it over.
The middle-aged man with the rat-like eyebrows and pointed mouth received the bronze plaque with both hands. The front of the plaque depicted a ferocious tiger, while the back bore a large character "卫" (Wei, meaning Guard). He immediately knew that this person was indeed a member of the city garrison's guard.
The middle-aged man's mind raced. Although the city garrison's guards were mostly江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people of the martial arts world), they were highly favored by the two chief stewards under Lord Lanting. Logically, he shouldn't be clashing with them.
However, the young widow in front of him was too beautiful. He had heard that she was one of the four most beautiful widows in Xiliang City, but he was quite dismissive of her. But when he saw her, he realized that she was ten times more beautiful than the rumors suggested!
This middle-aged man with rat-like eyebrows and a pointed mouth was named Guo Lu. He was the steward of the eldest son of the Guo family, and he usually ran errands and did small things. Today, he came here because the eldest son of the Guo family had asked him to come and see what kind of beauty the old man wanted to marry for his third son, that idiot. The
third son of the Guo family wanted to get married, so why was the eldest son, who had always looked down on him, interested in Lin Cuier?
There was naturally a disgusting purpose behind it: the eldest son of the Guo family thought that since his third son couldn't sleep with women anyway, it wouldn't matter if he married an ugly woman, but if he married a beautiful one, the older brother would reluctantly help him, which would also be considered as leaving another heir for the Guo family.
Guo Lu was not a favored steward in front of the eldest young master of the Guo family. He had finally gotten this opportunity to show off. Looking at Lin Cuier, who was so beautiful as to be a fairy and had such a curvaceous figure, he naturally thought that if he offered such a beauty to the eldest young master, the eldest young master would be happy, and after the eldest young master took over the Guo family, how great would the benefits he would receive!
Thinking of having a group of beautiful wives and concubines, thinking of having hundreds of acres of land and thousands of cattle and sheep... Guo Lu became bold for once.
"You treacherous spy!"
Guo Lu stuffed the bronze token into his robes, pointed at me, and roared, "How dare you impersonate Lord Lanting's guards! You've committed a heinous crime! Guards! Kill him right now and claim the reward from the authorities!"
The servants of the Guo family were used to being domineering. Although they had heard that their master had been whipped by Lord Lanting, that man was the Empress's nephew, so beating their master was an honor for him. Besides, he had later given their master such a great benefit, allowing him to return to Xiliang City in glory. This emboldened them even more.
Hearing Guo Lu's order, their faces contorted with rage, and they lunged at me, baring their teeth and claws.
I dodged, and with a few sharp cracks, twelve Guo family servants were sent rolling on the ground, their faces turning blue with pain, their screams comparable to a woman's.
Guo Lu's mouth was still agape in shock when he saw me walking towards him with a cold expression. Guo Lu was so frightened that his legs went weak: "What do you want to do? I am a member of the Guo family. Your Lord Lanting respects our master very much. You... Ah!"
I didn't want to listen to his rambling, so I kicked him out of the courtyard and over the wall. The loud thud was heard outside.
"Thump!"
Lin Dazhuang's legs were already on the ground. He cried out in a trembling voice, "Sister, hero, they forced me to come! I... I didn't want to! Hero, please... please spare me!"
I wanted to kick him out again, but thinking that he was Lin Cuier's older brother, I decided not to torture such a villain in front of the young widow. So I waved my hand and said, "Get out of here. If I see you again, it won't be so easy."
"Okay, okay, you won't see me again, you won't... Oh!"
Lin Dazhuang said, trying to back away, but he suddenly turned his head and bumped his head on the wooden door. He cried out in pain and ran out, clutching his head.
"Ouch..."
The twelve Guo family servants on the ground, whose pressure points I had acupunctured, felt as if they were being cut by knives. Their pitiful cries made Lin Cuier unable to bear it any longer.
The shy, beautiful widow gently patted me: "Brother, don't torture them anymore, let them go!"
These servants were nothing, and since it was my beautiful sister pleading for them, I naturally had to give her face. With a few quick gestures in the air, the twelve people's cries of pain immediately subsided.
"If you're still here in three breaths, I'll make you experience that pain again. One, two..."
I only counted twice, and the twelve servants who had been on the verge of death immediately sprang to their feet like carp, some jumping over the wall, some rolling, and in a few moments they were rushing out the door.
With their help, Guo Lu's cries of pain and loud curses gradually faded into the distance, but Lin Cuier and I both knew that things weren't over yet, and even bigger trouble was yet to come.

Chapter Nine: Passionate Encounters in the Boudoir
This time the trouble was too great. None of the widows dared to peek at the door, because they knew the Guo family's domineering nature and were afraid of getting into trouble.
As soon as they left, Lin Cuier bit her pink lips tightly, her delicate and charming appearance, like a flower in the wind, captivating my gaze. Her face, her expression shifting between light and shadow, turned to say something to me, but seeing my expression, she chuckled, "Silly boy! Little silly boy!"
Snapping out of my reverie, I smiled, "Sister Cuier, some people are just born with a stubborn streak; they need a good beating."
"You dare say that! This is a big problem!"
Lin Cuier glared at me, and for some reason, I felt a warmth in her eyes I'd never seen before.
The shy, beautiful woman took small steps to the door, locked it, and then boldly pulled me inside.
Next, she closed the bedroom door tightly, and drew thick curtains over the windows, making the already somewhat stuffy room even more somber. However, even in this almost enclosed space, the shy, beautiful woman's fragrance wafted into my nostrils.
A woman who has been with a man will have a slightly different aura than when she was a young girl. While the youthful scent of an average woman gradually fades, a woman with a good physique will make her fragrance even more alluring. Lin Cuier belonged to the latter category.
After the charming woman drew the curtain, she turned and hugged me tightly. Her full and alluring body radiated a fiery charm, and her rapid breathing revealed her nervousness.
"Sister Cuier, what are you doing? I'm not a casual person!"
I said, wrapping my arms around her and pressing my palms against her pair of snow-white, pert buttocks.
"You brat!"
Lin Cuier trembled slightly as the man touched her beautiful buttocks. "Have you been lying to me all this time? What kind of clueless young man touches an older sister's buttocks right away?"
"If not there, then here?"
One of my hands moved to Lin Cuier's breasts, touching those two round and large jade orbs through her clothes. "Oh, Sister Cuier, do you often eat cantaloupe? How come they're so big?"
"Pah! You little pervert... Did I fall for your trick?"
Lin Cuier's face was already flushed red. She pushed me away with her small hands. "Let's... let's go to the bed, okay?"
The shy little widow said this very softly, almost inaudibly.
"Okay!"
I picked her up by the waist, then suddenly remembered something and quickly put the beauty on the bed. "Sister Cuier, take off your clothes and wait for me. When I come back, if you're still wearing clothes, I'll spank you!"
With that, I strode out of the room under the shy and puzzled gaze of the beautiful widow.
"Whoosh...bang..."
A signal flare exploded in the air, transforming into a fiery red longsword, visible for miles around.
Having done this, I clapped my hands and returned to the beauty's room. I re-bolted the door; there was still a rustling sound on the bed. I chuckled and walked over. "Alright, Sister Cui'er, what did I just say to you? I'm here to spank you!"
"I'm...I'm done taking it off..."
Lin Cui'er hurriedly started, and in a moment of carelessness, she tossed something red into her hand. Catching it, I realized it was the beautiful widow's undergarment.
"Ah, Sister Cui'er, you smell so good!"
I sniffed, reluctant to let go.
"You...you shouldn't say that..."
Lin Cui'er tightly wrapped herself in the thin blanket, not daring to look at me. "Little brother, hurry up...otherwise we'll run out of time..."
My heart skipped a beat, and in a few quick movements, I stripped off my clothes, slipped under the small blanket, and embraced the hot and fragrant Lin Cui'er. The young widow's body was soft and boneless, but her curves were firm and elastic, incredibly comfortable to hold.
Now we were naked, and Lin Cui'er could easily feel the enormous thing pressing against her lower abdomen. The young widow's heart skipped a beat, and she gently touched it, her face turning pale with fright. This thing was more than twice the size of her previous man's, like a baby's forearm—how could it possibly fit?
“Sister Cui’er.”
“Hmm?”
“I remember you were very conservative, why are you being so proactive now?”
“I…you brat, isn’t it good to let you off easy? Why don’t you get out now?”
“No, that’s not what I meant…are you afraid they’ll take me away?”
“So what if they are?”
“If it’s just to prevent me from being framed, you don’t have to do this, they can’t do anything to me.”
“Nonsense…isn’t Master Guo’s face bigger than yours, a mere guard? Which benefits do those officials get more from pleasing him, or from pleasing you? Even the city garrison commander wouldn’t offend Master Guo for you, would he?”
“In your heart, we rescued Xiliang City, we rescued the imperial envoy from the Northwest, are we really that despicable?”
“Brother, don’t be so naive. Although I come from a humble background, I know some things…which official isn’t selfish and never cares about the lives of their subordinates?…Well, General Chen Fuyue is alright, and Lord Ren Lanting has been very good lately, but it also depends on whether their interests are involved…”
"Sister Cui'er, you must believe in Lord Ren! He's the best person in the world!"
I said without batting an eye, never holding back in my self-praise.
"Hehe, whether someone is good or not is none of our business. He's too far removed from us. Little brother, you must remember, never get too close to these noble gentlemen..."
"Sister, you're so long-winded! I'm coming in..."
"Oh...you brat, don't move...like a bull...oh, so big...don't rush, let me help you..."
The beautiful widow, pinned beneath me, shyly reached out and grasped the enormous, thick penis. Her eyes were practically brimming with desire. She
thought to herself, "This little brother is so well-endowed, I wonder how he'll torment me in the future." But the thought of that pleasurable feeling made her heart race. She placed the penis on her labia, the glans rubbing against them. With each tremor, her vagina gradually became moist.
"Sister Cui'er, I'm so pent up!"
I desperately wanted to thrust into that wonderful honey pot and ravage the beautiful young woman, but my current identity was that of an innocent young man, so I had to restrain myself and submit to the beautiful widow, letting Lin Cui'er hold my big penis and slowly rub it against her opening and closing lips.
"Good girl... your thing is too big, Sister Cui'er can't take it... ah... don't move... oh!"
Lin Cui'er exclaimed, and as my big penis thrust forward, most of the glans had already pushed open her honey lips and entered the warm and tight flesh cave.
"Oh... don't use force... ah... it's going to burst... you naughty boy... you brat..."
The beautiful widow hadn't even adjusted when the huge penis suddenly thrust in, almost penetrating her entire honey pot. The tearing pain made her feel as if she had returned to her wedding night.
What a young man, all he knows is to be reckless! Lin Cuier recalled her previous man, whose first time had been just as impatient. The image of that man gradually overlapped with the young man pressing down on her.
I stopped moving, face to face with the beautiful widow: "Sister Cuier! What...what do we do next?"
"Pfft..."
The beautiful widow chuckled charmingly. Now on the bed, her shyness had lessened, replaced by a mature woman's allure.
"Silly boy, wait a minute, okay...it hurts so much, it's been so long since we've done this..."
Lin Cuier comforted me, her red lips close to mine. "Come on, give me a kiss..."
My tongue swirled in the beautiful woman's mouth, occasionally licking her little tongue, sucking hard, causing her to slap me repeatedly, but I wouldn't let go.
In Lin Cuier's perception, this young man was so powerful. The intertwining of their lips and tongues brought indescribable pleasure and comfort. When he sucked her tongue forcefully, the pain combined with the powerful attraction made her feel even more strongly the young man pressing down on her.
My large penis didn't move, but that didn't mean my hands couldn't move. My hands alternated between moving over Lin Cuier's ample breasts, kneading her round, trembling breasts into various shapes. The two small nipples at the peaks stood erect, pink and tender, like two small round gems.
Under my vigorous kneading, her snow-white breasts quickly turned fiery red, just like the rest of her body. At the same time, I felt a little honey-like fluid now flowing from her tightly stretched, narrow opening, nourishing our union.
Lin Cuier finally couldn't bear my deep sucking anymore. She pushed me away forcefully, panting, her face flushed: "Little brother...do you want to suffocate your sister?"
"I...sister..."
My face was also red, half feigned, half unable to bear it any longer. I thought maybe I should stop forcing myself and bring the beauty to the peak of pleasure first.
The beautiful widow was very pleased to see my impatient appearance; it proved that she was extremely attractive to me.
After making this decision, Lin Cuier was thinking about being with me. She was actually very confident in herself, knowing her beauty and allure. Now, seeing how eager I was, she was even happier, thinking that she could properly discipline this younger brother-in-law, train him to listen to her, and keep him from causing trouble. With his protection, she wouldn't be bullied. How wonderful!
"Little brother, be good... move... move... okay?"
Lin Cuier looked at me shyly.
"Move yourself?"
"Yes... it's that thing you put into sister's... move it... oh... don't go so fast... ah..."
Lin Cuier held me tightly with both hands, wanting me to stop, but having finally gained the upper hand, how could I stop so easily? My penis thrust forcefully in and out of her beautiful hole, very fast.
"Plop... plop..."
With each thrust, juices splashed out, and the place where the beautiful young woman and I were joined emitted even more joyful and lewd sounds.
“Mmm…oh…little brother…ah…gently…ah…slowly…ouch…ouch…little brother…oh…it’s going through…little brother…sister, sister isn’t…ah…your enemy…oh…are you going to…kill me?…Sister isn’t a bad person…yo…yo…”
Lin Cuier now understood my power. My large penis seemed relentless, thrusting deep into her body each time, as if trying to tear her delicate frame in two. A continuous stream of pleasurable sensations emanated from the depths of her honeypot, flowing through her heart and permeating every part of her body.
Caught up in the moment, I cupped the beautiful widow's round buttocks in my hands, allowing me to thrust faster and harder.
The shy widow was clearly not fully explored by her previous men; her vagina was tight and small, hot yet incredibly elastic, always tightly enveloping my large penis and squeezing it from all sides, layer upon layer. While not as varied as the famous "layered mountains" vagina, it still gave me unparalleled pleasure.
"Oh...it's over...brother...sister...sister...enough...ah...don't move...oh..."
Lin Cuier wasn't good at the fight, and after less than two hundred thrusts, her eyes rolled back, her body tense, her honey hole contracting, the wonderful cavity squeezing incessantly. Then, a gush of vaginal fluid violently hit my glans, instantly increasing the pleasure!
I knew that conquering a woman for the first time, especially a beauty with prior experience, required thoroughly subduing her to leave her with the most profound and beautiful memories. So, listening to the beautiful young woman's moans, my large penis didn't stop; instead, it thrust even harder into her clitoris, sending her to the heavens time and time again.
Lin Cuier had never experienced such pleasure before. Her clitoris opened and closed again as I fucked her, until eventually, her screams turned into unconscious moans, her body completely unresponsive, soaked in fragrant sweat, even the place where we were joined was wet. The fact that I had brought this beautiful older sister to such a fierce climax filled me with a surge of pride.
"Mmm... little brother... don't move anymore... sister is going to die... ah... how can you be so strong... um... oh... sister is so pitiful... if... oh... were still a girl... wouldn't you kill her... ah... you still want to move?... come out... come out... oh..."
As she wished, when the beautiful widow pressed my body down, I saw that the time was almost up. If I continued, my precious sister would faint, so I released my pent-up desire
. A thick white liquid suddenly shot into the beautiful young woman's uterus, scalding her so much that she shivered again and let out a sharp scream uncontrollably. I lay on the shy beautiful young woman, my big mouth kissing her small mouth again. A stream of pure true energy flowed into her body, improving her constitution. The comfortable, warm breath flowed through her body, allowing the already exhausted beautiful widow to fall asleep immediately...

Chapter Ten: A Slight Punishment
Lin Cuier's room was too simple. Her obviously suppressed voice was clearly heard by the two boys who rushed over. The two looked at each other, jumped down from the left and right sides of the house, and sat down on the steps outside the gate, like good brothers.
"Damn, Little Bird, I feel like a pimp, having to guard the door for those adulterers inside?"
"Hmm, very good, very good. Adulterers... Little Pimp Steward, I think when I get back tonight I can talk to the young master about it. He's really outrageous, actually seducing a young widow..."
"Little Bird, you bastard! You've already taken advantage of Wang Taoqing, and now you want to persecute me with your words? Are you still my good brother?"
"Yes, of course I am! But I'm a little short on cash lately. Look... I promise, as long as you give me a hundred gold coins, I won't tell the young master you insulted him." "
Get lost, you son of a bitch, daring to blackmail me... Fifty coins at most!"
"Deal!"
"Uh... I feel like you've dug a pit for me to fall into?" "No
, no, how could I treat my dear brother like that? By the way, have you noticed how thirsty those beautiful ladies inside look? It's like the young master just got his hands on one today!" "
Haha, you don't know, the young master was just pretending to be innocent this time, looking like a pretty boy. No wonder he couldn't have gotten his hands on one earlier!"
"No wonder the young master was so secretive when we talked about it, he was too shy to say it!"
"..."
Upon hearing the report from their subordinate, the two immediately ran over from their play area. At first, they thought something was wrong, but when they arrived, they realized I had asked them to guard the door.
However, Little Turtle and Little Bird were very quick-witted. Seeing that almost every household on this street had their doors tightly shut, a stark contrast to the lively chatter on the other streets, they knew something was about to happen.
Even sitting outside, the moans and groans inside were getting louder, and they didn't dare knock to ask the people inside to be quiet, so Little Turtle and Little Bird had to suppress their spiritual senses.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two brothers, who were sitting on the steps bored, suddenly saw a large group of lanterns surging into the street. The two were overjoyed.
Damn it, finally we can go back!
They quickly patted their bottoms and stood up. Their eyes swept around and they saw dozens of men dressed in black, marching in unison, heading straight for them with a menacing air.
"Not bad, this family has guts, they all know martial arts, much stronger than Ma Xiaohua's family, this is a real landlord bully!"
Little Turtle said with a grin, pointing at them.
"Xiliang City is indeed a big place, even a small landlord who forcibly abducts women is so domineering, they really don't take us seriously."
Little Bird said disdainfully.
The two of them talked back and forth, and quickly figured out what the newcomers' purpose was.
In a few breaths, the first few people had rushed to the door, and when they saw two henchmen standing on the steps, they paused slightly.
"Clatter! Clatter!"
The tallow on the torch kept burning, making a few crackling sounds, but the surroundings became quiet, and they could only see many eyes watching them through the cracks in the doors of the neighbors.
In the middle of the crowd was a man in his thirties, not handsome, with a somewhat gloomy expression, but his clothes were exceptionally luxurious.
The man in front didn't move. He frowned and looked at the two blocking his way. Seeing their ordinary clothes and their young age, he paid them even less attention.
"Where did these two dogs come from, blocking the road? Beat them half to death and throw them aside!"
the man coldly ordered his men.
"Yes, young master!"
The group of thugs obeyed, roaring like wolves, brandishing their sheathed knives and attacking the two men.
Little Turtle remained calm. When the weapons were close, he turned and spun around.
With a whirlwind, the dozen or so burly men who had rushed forward were sent flying into the air. "Crack, crack," they landed on the nearby walls or flew into other people's yards, their screams piercing the sky.
Their miserable state immediately made the thugs who were about to rush up to take advantage of the situation stop in their tracks. The shouts and screams that had been raging just moments before instantly subsided. Only the groans and screams carried by the wind reminded them that what had just happened was not a fantasy.
A three-meter-wide clearing appeared in front of the little turtle and the little bird.
"Who...who are you people?"
The man's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm, having something to rely on. "I am Guo Jianyun, the eldest young master of the Guo family. I am very familiar with your city lord, Lord Ren. Don't cause any trouble!"
"Is that so? You are very familiar with our lord?" the little bird said with a grin.
"Very familiar! How could we not be? Last time, my father and I personally visited Lord Ren, and he highly praised our righteous deeds in Huaiyuan City."
Guo Jianyun breathed a sigh of relief, his attitude becoming even more respectful. However, he cursed inwardly, "You bastards! You actually conspired to steal my woman! Once I find out your background, I'll make you pay! Damn it, you dare to cause me trouble in Xiliang City!"
Guo Jianyun had been summoned by Guo Lu, who dared not conceal my identity and handed me the bronze token. However, in his speech, Guo Lu portrayed me as arrogant and domineering, insulting the Guo family as nothing more than a destitute family driven out of Xiliang City, completely inferior to the city garrison!
Guo Jianyun was furious upon hearing this. Although he knew the power of the Imperial Envoy, he felt that apart from the Imperial Envoy and the generals of the "Silver Tiger Legion," the Guo family was the most powerful in Xiliang City. How could they tolerate such insults from members of the lowly city garrison?
When Guo Lu was instigating Guo Jianyun, he described Lin Cuier, one of the four most beautiful widows in Xiliang City, as an unparalleled beauty, a woman of extraordinary beauty. Guo Jianyun, a lecherous man, couldn't resist. He immediately led his men over, firstly to teach the ungrateful lowlife a lesson, and secondly to reclaim his own stunning beauty.
Just as he was fantasizing about how to make Lin Cuier submit to him, becoming his nominal third brother's wife, and then actually possessing her, a flash of light appeared. Before Guo Jianyun could react, a sharp "smack" resounded, and his face burned with pain. He instinctively touched his face, only to find it covered in blood.
"Ah!"
Guo Jianyun cried out in pain and rage, "You bastard, you peasant! How dare you hit me?"
Xiao Niao brandished her whip: "Why wouldn't I dare hit you?"
"You've got guts!"
Guo Jianyun laughed angrily, covering his face as he retreated, "Kill them all! I'll reward you with 100,000 gold coins!"
"Wow..."
What did 100,000 gold coins even mean? Many people lost their minds, roaring like wild beasts, drawing their swords, and charging towards the little turtle and bird.
The sight of seventy or eighty burly men surging forward was truly terrifying, but even ants are still ants. Seeing them attack, the little turtle and bird showed no mercy, lunging forward and crashing into the crowd. A piercing scream began to play, and in a flash of fire, blood and shadows flew everywhere. People were constantly being thrown far away, and the narrow street was soon filled with bodies.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, all seventy or eighty burly men lay on the ground. Guo Jianyun, who was watching this horrifying scene from a distance, immediately turned and ran.
"Swoosh!"
Another whirlwind swept by, and a leather whip, like a snake, wrapped around Guo Jianyun's waist. With a twist, Guo Jianyun flew through the air and landed with a "bang" in front of the gate.
The little bird stomped on him, rubbing against him forcefully: "Damn it, you've tried to lie to me! If it weren't for your father, I'd kill you right now!"
Guo Jianyun's pain vanished at those words. He shouted, "No, sir, sir, I'm not lying! I really am Guo Feng's son!"
The little turtle then looked up at the street corner. Guo Lu and several servants were watching them with fear, their young master in someone else's hands, unable to run, in great distress.
"Should you send some more people?"
the little turtle said with a grin, his eyes flashing with a cold light that sent chills down everyone's spines.
Before Guo Lu could answer, footsteps sounded from the street behind him. He turned around and saw more than a dozen fully armed constables rushing towards him nervously. Earlier, a widow, sensing something was wrong, had quietly run outside and told the constables at the West Gate that the Guo family had sent men to kidnap Guo Jianyun.
The head constable on duty was furious. "No matter how powerful your Guo family is, don't cause trouble here! Do you think Xiliang City is still what it used to be? Besides, you're trying to abduct the woman of a fallen soldier! This has angered everyone; nobody wants to help you!" The constable understood perfectly well. Abducting women could happen anywhere, but it was extremely rare in Xiliang City.
Imagine if a fallen soldier's woman was abducted by grown men—didn't that mean that if you died in battle, your woman could also be abducted? It was precisely this sense of shared fate that made both the government and the army very strict in cracking down on the abduction of women.
Guo Jianyun, however, was unaware of this. He had been sent to Huaiyuan City to manage the Guo family's shops since he was a teenager, and for over a decade, he hadn't returned to this desolate and impoverished Xiliang City. In Huaiyuan City, he was a notorious tyrant; abducting beautiful women was a trivial matter for him, and he wouldn't care at all.
When Guo Lu saw the constables arrive, he felt as if he had seen family. He immediately squeezed out tears and ran over in a few steps: "Sirs, help! Our young master Guo is about to be beaten to death by villains! Please save him!"
The constable was stunned. Why was this different from what he knew? He took a few steps forward, walked to the street corner, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but gasp. Good heavens, in the pitch-black street stretching for several meters, there were so many people that, except for two people standing, the rest were all lying face down, their screams of pain sounding like the wailing of ghosts.
"Hurry, sir! My young master is right next to those two thugs! They're ruthless killers, you'd better be careful... Our Master Guo is a kind-hearted man personally praised by Lord Lanting!"
Guo Lu's last sentence made the head constable, whose scalp was already tingling, shout from across the street, "Listen up, you over there! Anything can be resolved, release the young master of the Guo family first!"
The little bird laughed, and with a flick of its long whip, the young master of the Guo family once again performed a martial arts feat, flying more than ten meters away, landing right in front of the head constable.
"Ouch!"
Guo Jianyun, who had fallen to the ground again, saw stars and fainted.
With two quick movements, the two chief stewards also flew to the alley entrance. The head constable, wary of their skills, involuntarily led his men to take a step back. Guo Lu only dared to stand by and watch, not even daring to help Guo Jianyun up.
The torchlight at the alley entrance was still quite bright. The head constable looked at the little turtle and the little bird, feeling a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember.
"Creak..."
The door to Lin Cuier's house opened at this moment, and a young man dressed in silver tight-fitting clothes walked out.

Chapter Eleven: A Sudden Turn
The commotion outside made it impossible for me to sleep with my beautiful sister, so I had to get out of bed.
Fortunately, Lin Cuier had been brought to multiple orgasms by me earlier and was no longer able to care about anything, otherwise I would definitely have already stormed out and slaughtered these bastards who were disturbing my interest.
I could sense that there were quite a few people coming. When I opened the door, I still frowned when I saw the groaning servants all over the ground.
Others only felt a gust of wind, and I was already standing behind the little turtle and the little bird.
"What, want to fight again? I'll join in too!"
I said with a smile.
Seeing my figure, Guo Lu's face changed drastically and he took a few steps back, bumping into the servant behind him without realizing it.
"You are... from the city garrison's guards?"
The head constable clearly remembered my attire. "This humble servant is Zhang Shangshui, the head constable of the Ximen yamen. Greetings, sir."
The city garrison's guards didn't hold official positions, but they were my personal bodyguards and were often responsible for the city's security and order. They wielded considerable power; even ordinary officials would show them deference, let alone the head constable.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Zhang."
I said seriously, "I was just about to report to you that these thugs tried to force their way into a house and rob a woman. After I stopped them, they gathered a large group of people, trying to use their numbers to snatch her away. You must put these lawless people in jail to protect the safety of the people!"
Zhang Shangshui immediately understood. No wonder so many people came to snatch a woman; it turned out that the widow had this expert as her backer!
Guo Lu rolled his eyes, and a wicked idea immediately popped into his head: "Lord Zhang, don't listen to his nonsense. He's not a member of the city garrison; he's an imposter! Otherwise, if you ask him to show his identification, he definitely won't be able to!"
I was slightly taken aback, then remembered that Guo Lu had taken the bronze token earlier. He was trying to turn the tables on me; this was indeed a good opportunity.
Seeing Zhang Shangshui looking at me suspiciously, Guo Lu quickly added fuel to the fire: "Lord Zhang, we are genuine members of the Guo family. My master is very familiar with Lord Chi and even Lord Lanting. You must handle this impartially! You must severely punish those who impersonate members of the guard!"
Zhang Shangshui hesitated for a moment, then said gently, "Sir, could you let me see your identification badge?"
I smiled wryly. I didn't have a bronze badge, but I did have a Heavenly Dragon Gold Badge, and I was afraid you'd faint if you saw it.
The little turtle and the little bird, who were already standing behind me, heard this and pulled out a waist badge from their pockets, swiftly handing it to Zhang Shangshui.
Zhang Shangshui turned it over and looked at it. This waist badge was different from the ones he had seen before. It wasn't made of bronze but pure silver. The front had a tiger on it, but the back didn't have the character "卫" (Wei, meaning guard), but rather the character "统" (Tong, meaning commander).
Suddenly, Zhang Shangshui's expression changed. "统"? Doesn't that mean commander?
He looked up and saw the little turtle and the little bird... Damn, these two people seemed to be the two deputy commanders he had seen from afar that day, but their other identities were even more frightening—the two chief stewards of the Lanting Duke's Mansion!
No wonder they looked familiar but he couldn't be sure; they were super figures he had never expected to see and had to look up to!
In a flash, Zhang Shangshui's body trembled again, and then began to shake uncontrollably, making the people behind him wonder if the head steward had gone on an epileptic seizure today? Why was he shaking like that?
Since the two chief stewards were going to stand behind this young man, then he... Zhang Shangshui's blood rushed to his head, and his eyes, when he looked at me, were filled with not only boundless reverence but also heartfelt fear.
I immediately understood what was going on and transmitted my voice, "Zhang Shangshui, I'm speaking to you secretly now. I'm on a private visit, so you mustn't reveal my identity, understand?"
Zhang Shangshui's "yes" stuck in his throat, his face flushed, and he nodded.
"Lord Zhang, what's wrong?"
Guo Lu hadn't seen Xiao Gui hand over the waist token. Seeing that I hadn't moved my hands, he became arrogant and smug. "If my master saw the young master beaten like this, he would be heartbroken. My lord, if you don't severely punish these thugs, you won't be able to explain it to Lord Lanting!"
His ability to borrow someone's name had improved rapidly, and he had even managed to drag the highest leader of Xiliang City into it. Normally, Zhang Shangshui would have hesitated, but now that Lord Lanting was standing right in front of him, what was there to be afraid of?
"Slap!"
According to the bailiffs' boasts afterward, Zhang's slap was top-notch. It was both ruthless and accurate, with a loud and pleasant sound. The force of the slap alone sent the skinny monkey flying into the air, rolling three times before crashing to the ground.
Zhang Shangshui sent Guo Lu flying with a single palm strike, then, without even glancing at him, turned to his men and said, "What are you all standing there for? Brothers, go to the yamen and get some men. Take all these guys who are obstructing people's passage back to the jail. They've gone too far, daring to harass the widows of fallen warriors. Tonight, give them a good beating!"
Zhang Shangshui usually treated his men well, so faced with this somewhat strange order, one of his men quickly stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "Boss, these... these are people from the Guo family!"
"So what if they're from the Guo family? They're always bullying others. Today, I'm going to teach them a lesson!"
Zhang Shangshui shouted, "Go get some men! I'll wait here!"
After confirming that their boss wasn't crazy, several men immediately went back, while the others, under Zhang Shangshui's command, went into the alley, took out iron chains, and chained up more than a dozen men who still had the strength to shout.
Soon, more than thirty constables from the West Gate arrived. Having received the news, they carried a large number of iron chains and, regardless of whether the people on the ground were seriously injured, simply bound them up. They quickly tied everyone together, even the unconscious Guo Jianyun received the same treatment.
People from the surrounding streets all rushed out to watch the commotion. Seeing the standard Guo family servants dressed as they were, and nearly a hundred burly men of the Guo family beaten to the ground, they were shocked. They wondered when the officials had become so audacious, daring to beat and arrest even the Guo family's own people.
However, no matter how much commotion occurred outside, not a single resident of the street where Lin Cuier lived came out. As for what the widows were secretly cheering about inside their houses, that remained unknown.
"Clatter, clatter..."
The sound of horses' hooves was deafening in the night. Zhang Shangshui looked back and saw a group of rapidly moving fire dragons galloping towards them from afar. There were few pedestrians on the night street, otherwise they would have been knocked down long ago.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The fire dragon stopped in front of them, and dozens of burly men with bulging temples were the first to dismount,
drawing their weapons with a clang, and forming a semi-circle around the constables. Then, from behind, a richly dressed old man jumped down from his horse. He was quite agile, and after landing, he walked towards us without stopping.
"Zhang Shangshui, you take over first,"
I ordered, and then Little Turtle, Little Bird, and I moved slightly to a darker spot. To the old man, the constables were clearly led by Zhang Shangshui.
"I am Guo Feng, and you are..."
Guo Feng gave a slight bow, which was enough to show respect. As a hereditary marquis bestowed by the emperor, he had the right to do so.
Zhang Shangshui naturally understood that he couldn't compare to Guo Feng, so he didn't bother arguing with him and said with a smile, "This humble servant is Zhang Shangshui, the head constable of the West Gate, greetings, Your Excellency."
After being whipped by the little bird and frightened by me, Guo Feng had changed a lot. His face, which used to scream "I'm arrogant, I'm powerful, don't mess with me," now showed composure and experience. I wonder if his parents,
if they knew in the afterlife, would thank me for raising Guo Feng, now in his fifties or sixties, into such an ideal person. Guo Feng had intended to ask a few polite questions, but then he saw Guo Lu lying on the ground, his cheek swollen and red. Looking further, he saw his eldest son also unconscious, his face covered in blood, as if he had been whipped.
At this, Guo Feng's suppressed emotions suddenly exploded. Damn it, I'm afraid of Lord Lanting, and I want to behave properly, but that doesn't mean some lowly constable can beat my Guo family like this!
"You scoundrel!"
Guo Feng's inherent纨绔子弟 (spoiled brat) nature hadn't diminished with age. Having been suppressed by me in Huaiyuan City, it erupted again. He rolled up his sleeves and reached out to strike Zhang Shangshui. Given his status as a hereditary marquis, Zhang Shangshui dared not stop him.
I shoved Xiao Niao, who was preparing to watch the show, when suddenly she stumbled and emerged from the darkness. Since we were standing directly behind Zhang Shangshui, Guo Feng immediately recognized her.
"Hiss..."
Guo Feng gasped. His impression of the little bird was even deeper than his impression of me, because it was the little bird who had used a whip to entangle him in Huaiyuan City, throwing him to the ground and inflicting the greatest humiliation of his life.
Later, he had specifically inquired and learned that this young man was the head steward of the Lanting family, having grown up with the Lanting family since childhood and enjoying the Lanting family's deep trust. How could he possibly take revenge on such a person? In addition, his later determination to align himself with me and respond to my call had diminished his desire for revenge.
Guo Feng reacted quickly; his hand, which was originally about to strike, immediately turned into both hands gripping Zhang Shangshui, leaving Zhang Shangshui, who was ready to dodge at any moment, stunned and unsure of what was happening.
"Damn it, I, Guo Feng, am a complete bastard! I haven't disciplined my son properly! He deserves a beating!"
Guo Feng's anger vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by a smile. He gripped Zhang Shangshui tightly, who couldn't dodge in time. "Lord Zhang, thank you for your hard work in helping me discipline my son. Damn it, you can beat this kind of scum as much as you want, just leave him alive."
The Guo family guards, who had been standing tall and ready to fight and rescue, couldn't believe what they were hearing. They kept rubbing their eyes and ears, wondering if the minor official had bewitched their master.
What they saw was Guo Feng turning his head and solemnly ordering, "What are you all standing there for? Help the constables send these lawless bastards to jail!"
"Thump..."
Several burly men fell to the ground on the spot, their heads bowed as they got up. The remaining Guo family guards did the same, bowing their heads in unison... Damn it, what a disgrace!
Zhang Shangshui was completely bewildered. He noticed Guo Feng's fawning smile was frequently directed behind him, and it dawned on him: Guo Feng had seen the important person behind him!
With Lord Lanting backing him up, Zhang Shangshui's courage swelled considerably. However, he wasn't naive. While instructing the constables to continue dragging people away, he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Guo, the young master is quite arrogant today. His Excellency is very displeased..."
His Excellency? Guo Feng's smile froze. He glanced behind the little bird again; two people were still standing in the darkness, showing no intention of meeting him.
Oh no!
No wonder the steward was meddling in this; even Lord Lanting was here!
Guo Jianyun, you've really put my father in a difficult position!
"Oh my, isn't this Master Guo?"
Little Bird, having received my instructions, emerged from behind Zhang Shangshui with a grin. "Come, come, I drank too much yesterday, and there's something I forgot to tell you. Let's go over there and talk..."
Guo Feng's body stiffened. Little Bird linked arms with him and led him to the back. He knew who they were going to see, and even his legs were trembling. Sure enough, after walking only a few steps, he reached the shadows and saw the young man who could make him rich or destroy him at any moment.
Without the support of power, the imperial edict was just a piece of scrap metal... Guo Feng finally understood this after being beaten and scolded. Therefore, his mentality instantly changed from extreme arrogance to extreme inferiority, especially after I returned all his property. The thrill of regaining what he had lost made Guo Feng incredibly excited and further strengthened his determination to align himself with me.
The whole family returned to Xiliang City in a grand procession. He planned to wait a few days until the Guo Mansion was properly renovated before formally inviting me as a guest. Who knew we would meet in this kind of setting?
"Lord Guo."
A clear voice rang out; it was me speaking.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Guo Feng hurriedly replied, "It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. I have no objection to whatever punishment you deem fit; you can even kill this little brat."
"That won't be necessary. Even if he's wrong, I'll spare him for your sake."
These few words actually made Guo Feng burst into tears. I didn't know if it was genuine or not, but tears streamed down his face: "Waaah... Your Highness, you're too good to Guo Feng... I will definitely follow you from now on and always do as you command!"
I found his sentimentality a bit nauseating, but Guo Feng was clearly a pragmatic person, and his family had lived in Xiliang City for generations, so he was quite useful, and it wasn't appropriate to distance myself from him too much. Nodding, I continued, "However, you'll have to be more disciplined with your family and servants from now on. They've been abducting women without permission! One person couldn't handle it, so they brought a whole group! Do they think they're bandits?"
Guo Feng broke out in a cold sweat: "I...I will definitely discipline them strictly! Your Highness, if you see them committing crimes again, just kill me, Guo Feng!"
"Don't be so tense,"
I said, my tone softening slightly. "Lord Guo, as long as you work diligently for me, I'll remember your kindness...Go, put your son in jail to sober him up!"
"Yes, yes, I will do as you say!"
Guo Feng nodded repeatedly.
"Lord, do a good job, you have a bright future!"
I patted his shoulder and waved for him to leave.
Guo Feng felt incredibly comfortable after being patted by Lord Lanting, his whole body light and airy. His earlier fear had vanished, replaced by overwhelming joy: Haha, His Highness said I have a bright future, isn't that to favor the Guo family's performance? I'm rich, I'm rich!

Chapter Twelve: Sleeping Together
By the time they had all left, night had fallen.
Zhang Shangshui was very sensible; before leaving, he had the constables disperse the widows and children around him, and the streets outside immediately returned to peace.
After sending away the two taunting servants who had teased me, I ran back to the beautiful sister's room and embraced her voluptuous, fragrant body, sleeping together. Tonight was my first night with Lin Cuier, and I couldn't possibly leave her behind to go back, so I had Little Turtle and Little Bird help me make arrangements with the Jinggong sisters, lest the beauties have designs on me.
The next morning, the sun was still high in the sky, and as usual, Lin Cuier woke up very early. Just as she regained her senses, the beautiful young woman felt her body being held tightly by the man beside her, one hand resting on her breast, while she herself was like a docile little lamb, her entire body curled up in my arms.
It had been so long since I had felt this warm and cozy feeling!
The beautiful young woman smiled gently, subtly tugging at her nerves. Only then did the tearing pain and discomfort in her lower body gradually enter her mind.
That bastard… he seemed to be going at it like his life depended on it. Now look what happened, he'd ripped and torn her apart, she must be bleeding… Thinking of this, the beautiful young woman's face flushed slightly. The bleeding from her pleasure reminded her of the phrase "wedding night," and while she clenched her teeth in embarrassment, she was also very happy: 'This is my first time with Lan Ting!' As various feelings surged through Lin Cuier's heart, I suddenly opened my eyes, startling her. Instinctively, the shy young woman tried to pull the blanket over herself, but she was still firmly held in my arms, unable to move.
I kissed her on the lips and said with a smile, "Good morning, Cui'er."
Lin Cui'er blushed even more. "Call me sister... and... let's pretend last night never happened, please don't... ah..."
Before the beautiful young woman could finish her sentence, she felt a hot, hard penis pressed against her labia, and with a slight movement, the entire head of the penis was inside.
There was a slight pain, but mostly a feeling of pleasure and fullness. Even just this little bit inside gave her such intense pleasure. The beautiful young woman couldn't imagine how high she would feel if the whole penis were inside.
"You're so annoying... who told you to go in again?"
The beautiful young woman punched my chest. "You were like a bull! You almost killed me last night... It's all torn and bleeding... You... you get out here!"
"Get out for what?"
I gently moved my penis, but only the head of my penis was thrusting in and out of her vagina, not going deep. "I heard them say that if you marry a beautiful wife, you must make her unable to sleep at night and unable to get out of bed during the day... Now I finally understand what that means. With such a good wife as Cui'er, I really wish I could swallow you whole."
"Pfft..."
The shy, beautiful young woman couldn't help but laugh. Because my movements were gentle, the pain in her injured vagina wasn't so intense. Instead, it was a pleasurable, tingling sensation, and it was getting more and more numb. The walls of her vagina felt sour and itchy, as if she wanted to be filled again. Only forceful thrusting could relieve this sour, numb, and itchy feeling.
Lin Cuier was a shy young woman, unsure how to express her feelings. However, her vaginal canal responded faithfully, tightly sucking on my glans and automatically squeezing. The increasing pressure required me to use more force to push open the tender vaginal flesh that was blocking my way.
"Cuier, does it still hurt?"
"A little... um... you brat, why are you squeezing so hard... are you going to crush me?... Damn it..."
The beautiful young woman's face was flushed, and her body twisted, indirectly cooperating with my movements. Unconsciously, my large penis went in a little more. Although it was only a quarter of its length, it still allowed the shy young woman to feel the large, hard penis again.
"Little brother... come on..."
Lin Cuier was, after all, a woman who had experienced sex. Now that she was with me, she considered me her man, so she naturally had fewer reservations.
I smiled at her words, then turned and mounted her, pressing down on the beautiful young woman's smooth body again. My penis once more entered her already wet and narrow cave.
"Mmm...so big..."
The beautiful young woman frowned slightly, looking pitiful, her hands still tightly holding me, not wanting me to move.
"Cui'er, what's so big about it? My son will come from you someday, and he'll be much bigger than his father's penis."
I whispered softly in her ear.
"You naughty thing..."
Lin Cui'er's face flushed, imagining the scene. Overwhelmed with passion, the beautiful young woman opened her mouth and kissed me passionately.
The beautiful young woman, who had no martial arts skills, was defeated in no time. I had tasted a lot of her sweet saliva, but she was still very happy.
While the beauty was panting heavily, I did not stop. I moved my mouth down and took one of her nipples into my mouth, sucking and licking it incessantly, sometimes swallowing half of it before letting go. I did not neglect her other breast either, kneading and caressing it with my large hands, which made the beauty's breathing even heavier.
Lin Cuier's arousal caused the fluid in her honeyed orifice to secrete more quickly, squeezing my tender flesh. Lubricated by the honeyed fluid, it slowly softened and began to contract.
The beautiful young woman's honeyed orifice seemed alive, gently yet resolutely resisting the "intruder's" layers of envelopment. My penis swelled again in pleasure, stretching the orifice wider, causing Lin Cuier beneath me to let out another sweet moan.
Seeing the time was right, I moved gently. Today, the beautiful young woman's honeyed orifice was still somewhat injured, so a storm of passion wasn't necessary; gentle, tender sex would suffice.
"Mmm...good...comfortable...so hot...ah...brother...oh...mmm...mmm...oh..."
Although my large penis didn't always reach the clitoris, its long, thick shaft, each entry and exit from the honeyed orifice, brought the beautiful young woman a blissful experience. The pain gradually faded in the pleasure, replaced by overwhelming ecstasy, causing her to cry out again and again.
"Oh...mmm...I...so...beautiful...oh..."
Lin Cuier's fair body was covered in a fine sheen of fragrant sweat. Overwhelmed by a tingling, pleasurable sensation, she involuntarily swayed her hips, her firm breasts bobbing with each movement. Her hair cascaded down her neck, making her appear both alluring and shy.
The large penis continued to thrust in and out of the beautiful young woman's vagina,
the sounds of "slap...slap..." echoing in the room. The beauty would occasionally lean closer, pressing her penis even more tightly, causing the glans to press heavily against her soft flesh, creating a deep indentation.
This tingling, numb, and heavenly pleasure made the beauty feel as if she were a small boat about to capsize in a raging storm, wave after wave crashing against her body and heart. Her moans grew increasingly alluring, and her responses to my movements became more forceful.
I knew Lin Cuier hadn't yet adapted to my powerful erection, especially given her injuries from the previous night. I dared not use too much force, nor did I dare to go on for too long. Seeing this, I immediately understood she was close to climax. I quickly pressed my penis tightly against her clitoris and rotated it, making her feel dizzy and disoriented. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, her body convulsed, and she released her vaginal fluid.
"Oh... little brother... ah..."
The beautiful young woman clung to me like an octopus. With the afterglow of her climax, the walls of her vagina tried to squeeze out my semen, but she couldn't.
Finally, the beautiful young woman, dazed from release, fell into a deep sleep again. The resentment and repression in her eyes had completely disappeared. You could tell from her sweet smile as she slept that she had finally found happiness and joy again since losing her husband.
I came out of the room and stretched in the yard. At this time, the sun was shining brightly on the earth, but having just had some "exercise," I felt refreshed and didn't find the sun so unbearable.
As I expanded my spiritual sense, I noticed two people standing outside the door. I was taken aback. After yesterday's earth-shattering events, were there still some fools trying to cause trouble?
"Creak..."
I pushed the door open, and the two men standing at the bottom of the steps turned around abruptly.
I recognized one of them; he was Lin Dazhuang, the eldest son of the Lin family, who had come last night to force his sister into marriage. The other was a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance but a strong and muscular build. Just by looking at his black silk clothes, I knew he was from the Guo family.
"Master Lan, you're awake?"
The Guo family man's face showed a fawning smile. "I, Guo Cong, the third steward of the Guo family, am here waiting for you. Is there anything I can do for you?"
If anyone familiar with the family saw Guo Cong, the head of the Guo family's guards, being so obsequious, their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets.
I don't know who he was before, but I sensed he had some martial arts skills. He probably doesn't know my true identity yet, otherwise his master would be too terrified to speak in front of me, let alone him.
Another person who doesn't know my identity is Lin Dazhuang. With bruises on his face, he went to stay at a friend's house after being beaten a second time last night.
Unable to get away with it, he planned to go home this morning, but was captured by the Guo family late at night and severely beaten. This morning, the burly man who beat him the hardest yesterday carried him towards his sister's house.
Lin Dazhuang thought they wanted to use him to threaten Lin Cuier, but when they got to the door, it wasn't like that at all. Guo Cong didn't even dare to go inside; he just stood at the bottom of the steps, showing no impatience.
With their hearing, they knew that the sounds of lovemaking inside couldn't reach them after the two doors were closed, so they assumed we hadn't gotten up yet.
Seeing the third steward of the Guo family, who was even more powerful than Guo Lu, speak to me with such a humble attitude, Lin Dazhuang's mind immediately started working. "Damn it, if I'd known this kid was so capable, why would I have bothered trying to curry favor with the Guo family! Now that he's slept with my sister, we're family now, hahaha..."
Seeing Lin Dazhuang's absent-minded expression and silly grin, I immediately understood what he was thinking.
Honestly, if it weren't for those two disturbances yesterday, I would have given Lin Dazhuang whatever benefits he wanted, out of respect for the beautiful young woman. Money and official positions were nothing to him.
However, yesterday's events showed that this man was ungrateful and heartless. Lin Cuier usually gave him a lot of money, but he was still not satisfied. When his sister lost her husband and was extremely saddened, he was actually thinking about how to sell her for a good price, without even asking Lin Cuier if she was willing.
Damn it, if I had a relative like that, I would have thrown him into Tulong Lake outside our county town long ago. The sooner
he dies, the better, so he doesn't waste food. But killing Lin Dazhuang now seems inappropriate. I can tell Lin Cuier is all talk and no action, but she still cares about her brother. Yesterday, despite Lin Dazhuang's terrible attitude, she still gave him ten gold coins, which proves it. A thought flashed through my mind, and I met Lin Dazhuang's humble yet ingratiating smile: "Brother Lin."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Dazhuang excitedly replied, addressing me like Guo Cong. "Master Lan, did you rest well last night? Did Cuier serve you well?"
Even though I didn't want to argue with him, hearing this made me furious. Damn it, what does he take my sister Cuier for?
"Slap!"
Without thinking, I slapped him across the face. Lin Dazhuang cried out in pain, his cheek instantly swelling up.
"Shut up!"
I coldly reprimanded.
The murderous intent in my tone reminded Lin Dazhuang of my cruelty last night, and he quickly covered his mouth, afraid to scream.
"Next time I hear you utter a single word about your sister, you can forget about keeping your mouth."
I glanced at him, and Lin Dazhuang nodded repeatedly in fear. After a pause, I added, "Now I'm giving you a chance. Say what you want, but you can only have one request."
Lin Dazhuang, who was filled with anxiety, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, before finally showing an expression of ecstatic joy: "Master Lan, you...you're serious?"
"Nonsense, hurry up and say it. I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."
"Oh, okay!"
Lin Dazhuang mustered his courage, "Then...I want to be the head constable of the Ximen yamen, is that alright?"
"No."
I decisively rejected him, "You can't stay in the city. Think of other requests!"
Lin Dazhuang was disappointed, but knowing that things were impossible, he started thinking of what he wanted again.
After a moment, Lin Dazhuang mustered his courage and said, "Uncle Lan, almost everyone in our village is dead. Only a few families of us hid in the mountains and escaped the pursuit of the grassland barbarians. Now, many of the fertile fields in the village are unclaimed. You see... could I ask for a little more?"
"How much do you want?"
"My family originally owned ten mu. Do you think I can ask for a hundred mu?"
After saying this, Lin Dazhuang looked at me tremblingly. A hundred mu of fertile land was worth over a thousand gold coins. He didn't know if this request was too high.
The Northwest was originally sparsely populated, but near Xiliang City, because the army was very generous, a large population had gathered in the surrounding area, and a lot of fertile land had been cultivated. Moreover, whether it was growing wheat or raising livestock, it was a profitable business, so the price of usable land was very high.
Now, although many of the original residents had been slaughtered, those unclaimed fields were not what Lin Dazhuang and the other survivors wanted. They were all lands recorded by the government and would eventually be reclaimed by the government.
The people there are the poorest. In recent decades, many people from the inland areas have migrated to the Northwest. Recently, due to the war, their migration has stopped. However, with the news of our great victory spreading, the area around Xiliang City, where people can support their families and earn a little money, will definitely become a major destination for migration.
Lin Dazhuang understands this, so he plans to act first and acquire more land so he can become a small landowner and live a comfortable life, much more carefree than being a yamen foreman.
I pondered for a moment: "One hundred mu?"
"What, Master Lan, do you think that's too much? I have five people in my family, and life is very hard."
Lin Dazhuang panicked. Actually, he would be satisfied with fifty mu, but seeing that Master Lan seemed to have great power, he made an exorbitant demand.
"One hundred mu is a bit too little. How about this, I'll give you five hundred mu."
"A little less is fine... Uh? What?"
Lin Dazhuang's mind went blank. "Master Lan! Did I hear that right? You're going to give me five hundred mu?"
I nodded. "What, you think it's too much? Okay, one hundred mu it is."
"No, no, no!"
Lin Dazhuang shook his hand, grinning from ear to ear. "Master Lan, you're too kind. My sister is lucky to be with you!"
The power of five hundred mu of fertile land was indeed immense. Lin Dazhuang forgot that I forbade him to talk about Lin Cuier, and he forgot the burning pain on his face. He was enveloped in happiness.
Giving him five hundred mu of fertile land, besides ensuring he would have enough to eat and wear and not bother Lin Cuier, actually had another meaning... If Lin Dazhuang hadn't been so clever last night, wanting to marry off his sister and causing the Guo family to harass him repeatedly, Lin Cuier wouldn't have accepted me so easily. In a way, he had helped me out.
Guo Cong, standing nearby, was extremely envious. Five hundred mu of fertile land! Worth a full five or six thousand gold coins, that's no small sum anywhere, yet Master Lan just gave it away like that.
But thinking about it, it's understandable; Master Lan is someone even the master tries to curry favor with, what are five hundred acres of fertile land in his eyes?
At this moment, Guo Cong complained a little to his mother: 'Mom, why is my sister so ugly? If she were as beautiful as Lin Cuier, wouldn't I be rich too?'

Episode 12: The Grand Plan Succeeds

[Episode Synopsis]
Selling weapons to the enemy is considered treason? Could it lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan? This is a way to resolve the financial crisis of Xiliang City in one fell
swoop and also to outmaneuver the enemy; there's no more worthwhile deal! Besides, even the Emperor's father-in-law is willing to take the blame for me, how could I, Young Master Ri, refuse? I never expected Sister Cuier to be so…
cough cough! Of course, one should cherish such a beautiful and charming young woman. However, with the New Year approaching, one must return to the capital... So, one can only accompany her to her parents' home for a visit. But why is my sister-in-law looking at me like that...?

Chapter 1 *Heartfelt Comfort
Lin Cuier woke up with a soreness. She had never known that intimacy
in the bedroom could be such an exhausting thing. Thinking of how her younger brother had been so eager to penetrate her body last night and this morning, as if he wanted to devour her completely, Lin Cuier felt a mixture of shyness and satisfaction. Then, the intense pleasure that reached heaven made the beautiful woman's body feel hot again.
The sunlight was now streaming into the room through the curtains, making Lin Cuier feel quite hot. The beautiful young woman lazily opened her eyes, only to realize it was almost noon.
"Oh no..."
As a woman from a humble family, Lin Cuier knew the importance of not being lazy, otherwise her man wouldn't like it. The beautiful young woman spat lightly and quickly struggled to get out of bed, not even caring about revealing her incredibly beautiful and alluring figure.
She hurriedly tried to put on her clothes, only to find that they were stained with traces of their lovemaking—a mixture of vaginal fluid and the man's semen, all left on the clothes, making them unwearable.
Just as Lin Cuier was blushing and trying to find another outfit, she noticed a set of snow-white clothes neatly laid out on the other side of the bed. Picking it up, she saw that the style was very beautiful, and the material was also good; it was clearly carefully selected. A
sweet smile appeared on Lin Cuier's lips: "I didn't expect this little man to be so good at pleasing women! So sweet!"
To be honest, even now, after we've slept together, Lin Cuier still hasn't figured out whether to see me as her lover or her adorable younger brother… perhaps both!
The beautiful young woman's shyness is just an outward appearance; deep down, she's very strong and opinionated. Just as she awoke from her sweet reverie, she remembered the conflict between me and the young master of the Guo family last night. The charming young woman sighed with worry.
As the widow of a fallen soldier, Lin Cuier isn't afraid of the Guo family's annihilation. No matter how powerful the Guo family is, they wouldn't dare to run rampant in this city, which is effectively controlled by the army. If their own wives can be so easily humiliated, what's the point of the soldiers fighting so hard? What
the beautiful young woman is worried about is her lover, her younger brother. Don't be fooled by his position in the city garrison; even he might not fare well against the domineering Guo family.
Just as I was pondering how to help my lover's younger brother through this difficult time, the door creaked open. Lin Cuier was startled and quickly covered her alluring body with her clothes. When she looked up again, she saw a familiar figure.
"Aren't you going to close the door?"
the shy, beautiful young woman glared at me.
"Okay."
I smiled and closed the door. "Our good stuff shouldn't be allowed to fall into other people's hands."
"Pah!"
Lin Cuier chuckled and then pulled my ear. "You brat, what do you mean 'our stuff'? That's mine, okay..."
"Isn't Cuier's stuff mine too?"
Looking at the beautiful woman's perfect body, my heart warmed, and I climbed back onto the bed, pulling her into my arms. The shy, beautiful young woman pretended to struggle a few times, but eventually gave in to me.
Looking up, Lin Cuier's beautiful eyes were filled with a dreamy look: "Little brother, you were such a man yesterday! I really have to praise you!"
I felt a surge of relief: "I thought you were going to say that I was too reckless and offended some powerful people, and that it would cause you trouble."
Lin Cuier's little mouth curled up slightly: "They wouldn't dare to do anything to me. It's you who need to be careful, little brother. Stay away from them as much as possible. As long as you stay away, no matter how powerful the Guo family is, they won't dare to openly hunt down Prince Lanting's subordinates."
Last night, Lin Cuier was terrified, but she was only worried about me. It was the thought that she might never see this lovely and honest boy again that caused her emotions to erupt, and we ended up having sex.
"No need,"
I said easily: "Yesterday, the two chief officers of the Zhengjian Guard came here and encountered them causing trouble in such a grand manner. After they taught these self-proclaimed overlords of Xiliang City, the Guo family members slunk away. They wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble with us again."
"Really?"
The shy and beautiful young woman's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true."
I laughed. "The two stewards originally wanted to punish these nouveau riche and tyrants. Besides, didn't my sister Cui'er say that I, Lan Ting, am a member of the city garrison? Bullying me is like slapping Lord Lan Ting in the face, isn't it? The two stewards will naturally come to support me." "
The two stewards... little brother, you mean Lord Lan Ting's two trusted stewards, right?"
Seeing me nod, Lin Cui'er said seriously, "I heard that they are brave generals in military affairs, and have made great contributions in cooperation with Lord Lan Ting. In terms of government affairs, they also care very much for us widows and common people. With such good superiors, little brother, you need to work even harder."
Cough cough, caring for the widows of soldiers... that's for sure. If they didn't act like they were serving the country and the people, how could they win over the beautiful widow sisters?
I secretly amused that the beautiful sister didn't know the true nature of the little turtle and the little bird. On the surface, I nodded repeatedly, listening to the beautiful sister's opinion.
"Alright, it's almost noon now. Why aren't you on duty? What are you doing here?"
Before I knew it, the shy beauty had adopted an older sister's tone again. "Don't waste your time in women's rooms. You should be like Lord Lanting and the two stewards, becoming a source of pride for men."
Lin Cuier's words were actually inspired by a storyteller she'd heard, and now she was using them to address her younger brother, her lover. The contrast between Lin Cuier's shy demeanor and her passionate words, so full of feminine charm, was incredibly satisfying. I'd found a good wife!
"Okay, I'll come again tonight."
I reluctantly put the beauty down.
It wasn't that I didn't want to be intimate with her again, but I'd noticed earlier that Lin Cuier's vulva was already swollen and red, clearly indicating a long period of abstinence. Plus, my large penis had already overwhelmed her.
I, Liu Ri, am very considerate of my wife; since that's the case, let her rest a bit.
Unexpectedly, Lin Cuier blushed and glared at me upon hearing this: "Ugh... You're like a wild bull! If you come again tonight, you'll kill me!... Can't you wait a few days?"
"Ahem, then I'll just come and cook for you, since you're not feeling well."
"No..."
The beautiful young woman blushed, "Go do your work. What kind of man cooks? Can't I do this little thing?"
After seeing me off, Lin Cuier still felt dizzy. After thinking it over, the beauty decided to rest a little longer, since Bi Xian was working too hard!
She slept until dusk before lazily waking up again. Looking at the fading sunlight outside, the beauty stuck out her tongue, got up, dressed, and dragged her aching body out of the house.
It was already past dinner time, and everyone was chatting at the door. Lin Cuier hesitated for a moment, then picked up a small wooden stool, opened the door, and went out.
The moment Lin Cuier stepped outside, she was stared at by countless eyes. The gazes of her sisters were filled with envy and surprise, and of course, a fair share of jealousy.
"What are you all doing!"
Lin Cuier placed a stool at the bottom of the steps, sat down, and gave everyone a coquettish glare.
Seeing that she was still the same as before, for some reason, the women's somewhat awkward attitude instantly changed.
Of course, there were also those who didn't need to change their attitude at all.
One woman said with a grin, "Cuier, I'm so lucky to have you! I never thought good people would be punished for their evil deeds!"
Lin Cuier looked up and saw it was Sister Feng, who had informed her of the situation yesterday.
The beautiful young woman raised an eyebrow, stood up, and immediately said angrily, "Sister Feng, what's wrong? Did they give you trouble? I'm going to find General Zhou and the others. Is this still Xiliang City?"
"Hahaha..."
Sister Feng burst into laughter, "Cui'er, do you think I'm being sarcastic? No! Brother Lan is very popular with the city garrison... Last night, the two chief stewards of Lord Lanting came personally to support him. You don't know, those two stewards were really impressive, they beat those Guo family bullies so badly they were running for their lives, they didn't dare to fight back at all."
"Oh? It was that intense? How could I..."
Lin Cui'er's words trailed off as her jade-like face flushed red, clearly remembering that she was passionately making love with her younger brother and lover at the time, and hadn't cared about what was happening outside.
"You were hiding inside, so of course you wouldn't know... The scene, the spectacle—with a crack, the whip struck the eldest son of the Guo family across the face, leaving it swollen like a bun. Then, Brother Lan ran out and told the two head stewards what had happened... Later, when the eldest master of the Guo family arrived, he didn't dare say a word in front of the two head stewards and even took the initiative to send his son and a group of wicked servants to prison!"
another woman beside her recounted vividly.
More than just one or two people had watched through the crack in the door last night, and everyone found it incredibly satisfying. Now, the eldest son of the Guo family wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly anymore, right?
The happiest person, naturally, was Sister Feng.
"Hehe, look, Cui'er, this morning the city garrison sent someone over with ten bolts of silk and a hundred exquisite porcelain pieces. They said Brother Lan bought them with his salary, praising me for not being afraid of evil forces and for bravely helping!"
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of a group of women, Sister Feng said happily, "Sister, you were just a little bit bolder. You only tipped me off, but you received such a generous gift. It seems you and Brother Lan are getting along really well. He even remembered this small favor from me. He will definitely treat you well in the future."
Lin Cui'er smiled shyly as usual, calculating the value of the gifts I gave her. They were worth at least two hundred gold coins... This rascal, he's really generous!
Despite her complaints, Lin Cui'er was just as happy as Sister Feng said. From this small thing, she could see that her lover's younger brother had a very kind heart.
Overjoyed at receiving the reward, Sister Feng praised her repeatedly, while the group of women beside her looked rather displeased. They felt ashamed for not reporting the news, and also jealous of Sister Feng's gain... the complexity of human nature was evident here. However, the sound of hooves interrupted their varied thoughts.
Looking up, they saw several carriages galloping into the street, driven by yamen runners. Zhang Shangshui, the leader, beamed, "Ladies, Lord Lanting just heard about the beautiful marriage of Young Master Lan and Lin Cuier and was deeply pleased. Therefore, he has specially rewarded each household on this street with ten gold coins, two bolts of silk, and ten pieces of porcelain. Everyone, hurry up and line up to receive them!" "
Wow..."
The women all stood up, their eyes shining as they looked towards the carriages.
These were gifts from Lord Lanting! It seemed he truly cared for his people, and Young Master Lan was definitely an important member of the city garrison!
The women thought to themselves, "We've received gifts, though not as many as what Brother Lan gave Sister Feng. But since they were personally bestowed by Lord Lanting, the significance is different."
Sister Feng was even happier. Every household received a gift, which meant she also received one—double the amount!
She'd have to do more of the relaying work from now on!
A joyful commotion erupted as children and the elderly came out to collect their gifts. The bustling street drew envious glances from the neighbors outside. Hearing that it was a gift from Lord Lanting himself, they dared not be jealous, only lamenting their bad luck in not living there. The joy of receiving valuable gifts quickly dispelled their jealousy and negative emotions. Women are very perceptive; they realized why Lord Lanting had bestowed gifts upon them—wasn't it because Brother Lan had received a gift from Lord Lanting? With this thought, their gazes towards Lin Cuier changed.
Lin Cuier felt a sense of relief. Lord Lanting's reward was largely to support her and her lover's younger brother. She believed that with this, the Guo family wouldn't dare to cause trouble again.
The beauty's heart was filled with sweetness and imperial delight: "I didn't expect my clumsy little brother to be so popular..."
"Young Master, the Imperial Envoy and his entourage are leaving today. What should we send them?"
Little Turtle and Little Bird greeted me as I entered the mansion.
"I want to give them a good beating. You two take it for me."
I walked forward irritably. "Damn it, all they bring me is bad news, and they want me to send them gifts? Let them die!"
The two unruly servants chuckled, following behind me, letting me vent my anger. They knew their young master might talk a big game, but he would always put on a show.
Sure enough, after berating the imperial envoys, I paused. "Let's stick to the old rules: deliver silver notes... What kind of justice is this world? I've worked so hard, and now I have to pay for everything myself. I guess I'm the biggest sucker in the world."
"Actually, no,"
Little Bird said in a low voice. "Young Master, you feel uncomfortable because of your current status, but if you marry Sister Yunfu, the entire Liufeng Kingdom will be yours. The Emperor asking you to pay is just because he thinks we're family, isn't it?"
I stopped and patted Little Bird on the shoulder. "Young man, if the Emperor were as naive as you think, that would be wonderful!"
Seeing my condescending attitude, Little Turtle burst into laughter, showing no awareness of being a servant.
His laughter eased some of my anger. Anger and venting wouldn't solve anything, so some things were better left unsaid.
"Also, young master, all the people you asked me to arrange are in place. There are three families in total, positioned around Sister Cui'er's house. They are all family members of the city garrison guards. The women know some martial arts and are very alert. With them around, you can rest assured about Sister Cui'er's safety,"
Little Turtle continued.
"Si, be careful. Let them visit her often, but don't let a word slip. Cui'er is quite lonely by herself,"
I nodded.
"Speaking of which, young master, now that we've succeeded, why not bring her to the city garrison? The two young mistresses won't bully anyone... Or, since she doesn't know martial arts, we can just send her back to Wushuang County. The ladies there are crying out that they don't have enough manpower and need help,"
Little Bird suggested from the side.
"You don't understand?"
I shook my head. "The current Cui'er is the real her. Although life has its hardships, she can only show her true nature when she lives in a familiar place. What if she knew my identity and, after arriving at the city garrison and Wushuang County, really became that melancholy little beauty she always was?"
The two nodded repeatedly. They hadn't expected their young master to have such thoughts. He had indeed grown up!

Chapter Two * Advancing into the Northern Desert
Entering the mansion, the first thing I did was take out the intelligence I had just received.
Back then, Young Master Ri used Confucius's *Analects* as fuel for his studies. Now, he was seriously reading this massive amount of intelligence, which was even more tedious than the *Analects*.
There was no other way; to survive and achieve success, one had to work hard.
The little turtle and the little bird beside me weren't idle either. They also picked up a pile of intelligence, telling me about any important news and then summarizing it. The
vast desert grasslands had been incredibly lively lately.
The capture and slaughter of 200,000 troops from the northern steppes, along with the seizure of countless cattle, sheep, wealth, and slaves, filled the six southern tribes with ecstatic joy. After dividing the spoils, the warlike chieftains Mamda of the Chachin tribe, Azhezhan of the Ciyi tribe, and Yata of the Taiwu tribe all spoke up, urging them to seize the opportunity while the two northern tribes were at their weakest, to press their advantage and conquer the vast northern steppes in one fell swoop, thus providing more grazing land for their many southern tribes.
Not only these three, but the other three chieftains were also quite tempted. The northern steppes were far more fertile than the southern steppes; if they could truly conquer such a territory and annex its million inhabitants, they would have a fighting chance against the invincible overlord of the eastern steppes, the Chahar.
A few days ago, when I heard their clamor, I was overjoyed, wishing I could give them ten million gold coins, shake their hands, and say: "Boss, go! It would be best if you wiped out every last man; then the continent would be at peace!"
But today's latest intelligence reports that Princess Bilan firmly stopped this action and urged them to prepare defensive measures, preferably without disbanding the army, but rather to deploy them together.
Through several joint operations, Princess Bilan's prestige had penetrated the hearts of every general and soldier in the six tribes. That's how the steppe men are; they admire capable people, especially those who can lead them to victory and great benefits.
Clearly, Princess Bilan was such a person.
Therefore, even though the chieftains of the six tribes were extremely envious of the northern steppes, they had no choice but to heed Princess Bilan's advice and seriously begin defensive drills.
I know more than they do.
The two northern tribes, having suffered such a great loss, were already furious and mobilized all available manpower, preparing to fight the southern barbarians to the death. Meanwhile, the super-large Chahar tribe in the east was also eyeing the situation covetously and began to gather, striving to launch a war before winter arrived, sweeping across the northern and southern steppes.
The only reason the Chahar are not moving is that they want to let the northern and southern deserts fight each other out first, and then they can reap the benefits.
In fact, the situation in the western part of the grasslands has become very interesting.
Although the tribes of the northern grasslands are putting on a show of force, gathering nearly 300,000 troops, they are no longer at a disadvantage in terms of morale and strength. These 300,000 men couldn't even stop the initial 200,000 who invaded Xiliang City.
The most troublesome thing is that a much larger giant is watching them from the sidelines—the Chahar.
If they fight, a loss would mean complete annihilation; if they win, they fear the Chahar will reap the benefits and bring both the northern and southern deserts under their control. That would be truly doing someone else's bidding, leaving them with no way to complain.
The most carefree people right now are the six major tribes in the southern desert. Their strategy of not fighting is cunning; by dragging things out until winter, they have at least a six-month buffer period. During this time, they can consolidate their gains and attract smaller tribes suffering from winter disasters to join them, expanding their power as much as possible… Perhaps by this time next year, they will even have the strength to rival the Chahar, let alone the declining northern desert tribes.
In just three short months, the balance of power between the southern and northern deserts has shifted so dramatically—more exciting than watching a grand drama!
After finishing reading Intelligence 2, I slowly tapped my hand on the table. Little Turtle and Little Bird, not daring to disturb my thoughts, talked about other things. A moment later, they saw me suddenly stand up: “Let’s go, we’re going to the northern desert!”
“Huh?”
The two thought they had misheard. Why go to the northern desert?
"Don't just stand there. Go and gather the hundred most elite members of the city garrison. Prepare three horses for each of you, and twenty days' worth of rations. We'll set off in an hour."
I smiled. "I'm going to talk to Mei'er and Cai'er. I'll take them with me."
"Okay!"
The two agreed, but they also had some doubts. "Young Master, isn't it a bit early to go fishing in troubled waters? Besides, there aren't enough people."
"Fishing in troubled waters?"
I smiled slyly. "I'm a pacifist. This time, I'll take you to use gentle methods to stab them again and again!"
"Gentle methods? What do you mean?"
"Come closer..."
After sending the two away to prepare, I returned to the backyard alone.
It was just as the sun was rising in the morning. The two little beauties must be practicing martial arts in the garden. Don't underestimate them just because they're young and princesses; they haven't missed a single day of their training.
"Swish... swish..."
Before I even entered the garden, bursts of sword energy pierced through the wall and reached my ears.
I moved swiftly, and in the next instant, I was atop the wall, looking down at the scene inside.
Two beautiful young women in white outfits wielded their katana, transforming into two orbs of light. The blades fell and slashed from different directions, two long, snow-white dragons, their movements perfectly coordinated. "Hey, how come there are two such beautiful young women here? Watch me take them down and bring them back to the stronghold as wives!"
I laughed loudly. The moment the girls looked up, I darted down.
"Chirp..."
The young princes of the tribe remained expressionless. Their two guards intertwined, forming a raging mass of sword energy, and they leaped into the air.
I clapped my hands together, unleashing a surge of pure, yang demonic energy that instantly blocked the oncoming sword energy. I rushed into the sword curtain with lightning speed, my arms outstretched, and embraced their smooth, supple waists.
The sword curtain vanished instantly. The two women sheathed their katanas, panting and glaring at me.
The beautiful young women, drenched in sweat, wore expressions of sorrow that were plain to see.
"What are you doing, trying to murder your husband?"
My hand slid down slightly, touching their two round, firm buttocks.
"Hmph, do you think my amateur skills can handle you?"
Jing Gongcai pouted. "Brother, why didn't you come home last night?"
"I went to observe the people's lives."
I chuckled, pulling them aside to sit down.
The charming Japanese beauty's mouth was sharp: "You probably went to observe some young widow's bed, didn't you?"
I absolutely couldn't admit to such a thing, or there would be no peace in the backyard. I shrugged. "Of course not. I went out with Little Turtle and Little Bird last night. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
Little Turtle and Little Bird are always restless at home. Last night, they were helping to deal with the Guo family's affairs and didn't return to the city to guard the mansion. My understanding with them has long been so good that we can coordinate our stories without even saying a word. Even the "Five Wrathful Demonesses of the Liu Family" couldn't do anything to them before, let alone these two little girls. "Brother, what did you go out with them for? Several times when my sister and I went out, we saw them sneaking off to brothels to drink and have fun. You mustn't go!"
Jing Gongmei rarely said anything to me. "My sister and I are both very good at dancing and singing, much better than them. Even Little Yu said that she has never seen or heard such beautiful He ethnic dances and songs before!"
Little Yu is a disciple of the Ecstasy Sect. Whether she was sincere or not, it was enough to prove that the two little princesses of the He ethnic group are indeed very talented. They are indeed princesses carefully cultivated by the He ethnic royal family.
Jing Gongcai was even more unrestrained: "That's right, brother, why are you wasting your energy on those women instead of cultivating the two fertile fields at home?"
"Don't worry, after this operation is over, brother will cultivate my little darlings with all his might, so that you can add more descendants to the Liu family and the Jing Gong family, isn't that cunning?"
I said, pulling out my trump card.
Don't let the fact that these beautiful girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old fool you; at that age, they're already thinking about having children, especially since the Jinggong family is small, and the two sisters are particularly keen on this.
Upon hearing this, the two girls' big eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and they nodded repeatedly. After a while, they remembered another question I'd asked earlier: "What, brother, who are we going to kill this time?"
Since the two little princesses had previously worked as assassins, they spoke of killing without fear, even with a hint of excitement. I told them what I had decided, and the twin sisters exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Brother, wait for us, we'll go change into our armor, we'll be done soon."
Wang Guowei led the remaining elite cavalry of the Wang family back, leaving only the city garrison and the Wang family's training corps in Xiliang City. They had suffered heavy casualties in the previous ambush of the Mobei cavalry; of the 2,500 who emerged, only 1,800 remained, including more than 100 wounded.
Currently, they are the most elite troops in Xiliang City, responsible not only for training soldiers and gathering intelligence, but also for maintaining order in the city. Therefore, I can only select one hundred men; otherwise, bringing three or five hundred more would be more useful to my plan.
The training of the reserve army in Xiliang City is intensifying after the enemy's retreat. By mid-October, I will eliminate the first batch of 50,000 unqualified soldiers from the nearly 400,000-strong reserve army. However, they will not return to the three northwestern prefectures; instead, I will arrange for them to settle in villages near Xiliang City, providing them with land and a life as farmers.
Originally, most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the vicinity were burned, killed, and looted, leaving behind mostly women, the elderly, and children. These able-bodied men can marry widows, form new families, and settle down in Xiliang City. Combined with the continuous influx of landless and impoverished families, this will lay the foundation for Xiliang City's future self-sufficiency. However, it was clearly better than being a soldier. Aside from the benefits and salary, settling down in the city, gaining the favor of a widow whose husband had died in battle, and living a comfortable life—that was what they wanted more… It must be said that the glamorous widows who passed by the barracks every day on their way to graze livestock on the nearby grasslands had already firmly attracted the attention of the reserve corps.
No wonder they were so eager, even wanting widows; the women who could be married by the soldiers of Xiliang City were all carefully selected girls from the surrounding area. With the added comfort of men, the charm of these young women was enough to make these hot-blooded men, who had never experienced women before, infatuated.
Therefore, once the elimination order was issued, coupled with witnessing the enemy's brutality firsthand, everyone worked twice as hard as before, because they understood that no matter where they lived, strong strength was the greatest guarantee for themselves and their families.
Our group exited from the north gate of Xiliang City, and more than three hundred fine horses galloped into the grasslands, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the vast expanse of green and yellow.
The changing colors of the grassland grass indicate that autumn has arrived, and late autumn is just around the corner. After late autumn, the terrifying cold of the grasslands will soon follow. From early autumn to the depths of winter, there are only two months in total. By then, let alone fighting, it would be lucky if the land wasn't buried by a blizzard.
The people chosen by the little turtle and the little bird were many who frequently roamed the grasslands. Led by them, relying on keen observation, the night sky, and asking for directions, we made our way to the northern grasslands as quickly as possible.
Someone once calculated that the vastness of the grasslands is no less than that of the three kingdoms, but because they are so monotonous and barren, the population of the grasslands has never flourished.
I had long heard that there were countless tribes on the grasslands, and upon entering the grasslands, I realized this was no exaggeration. Sometimes, a dozen or so households enclosed in a small enclosure call themselves a tribe… and there are many, many more such tribes.
I had no intention of killing them to cover my tracks. At most, I just wanted to replenish my water and food. In exchange, I received cheap brick tea prepared by the city garrison guards—seven bricks a bundle. A few bundles were enough to cover the supplies the entire group needed.
We dared not linger in the herders' tents. Don't be fooled by their smiling faces; they wouldn't hesitate to strike when the time was right. My purpose wasn't to kill; I only intended to set up camp and rest in the wilderness, spending the rest of the time traveling.
From Xiliang City to the northern desert, following the route taken by the northern cavalry, it was about three thousand li (approximately 1500 kilometers). Traveling at full speed would take at least three days. However, we bypassed the sphere of influence of the six major tribes of southern desert, circumventing the barren grasslands further west. Only after entering the northern desert grasslands did we head east.
This detour significantly increased the distance, taking a full five days and five nights before we finally reached the territory of what was said to be the territory of the Geluo tribe, one of the two major tribes of the northern desert.
Along the way, we saw scattered camps with white banners—markers for summoning the souls of loved ones.
Upon entering the territory of the Geluo tribe, these white banners suddenly multiplied, and the further east we went, the more banners appeared. Sometimes, standing on a hilltop, one could see for dozens of miles that the tall white banners seemed to obscure the grassland.
Echoing this, countless mournful cries echoed from the passing camps. Frankly
, I felt no sympathy for such cries. Who told you bastards to come to Xiliang City to burn, kill, and plunder? This is retribution!
Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, our group, which made little attempt to conceal our movements, was intercepted by several thousand steppe cavalry.
They were indeed more numerous, but their demeanor was striking. The men, young and old, showed no sign of killing intent; it was clear they had never been on the battlefield.
Even if several thousand more came, they wouldn't be a match for our pack of tigers and leopards.
After they surrounded us, they didn't rush to speak. Perhaps because of their overwhelming numbers, they didn't even take out the bows and arrows hanging beside their saddles. They simply looked at us with disdain, like prey.
Little Turtle spurred his horse forward, his booming voice echoing through the encirclement: "Summon someone who can speak!"
The steppe people erupted in commotion, and several strong knights immediately escorted an old man out of the crowd.
"You scoundrels, shut your mouths! Surrender obediently, hand over your possessions, and I'll make you slaves of our Lord Havel. Otherwise, you'll face certain death!"
a guard shouted.
Little Turtle looked up at the old man and said with a forced smile, "This gentleman is a guest invited by General Yuliangha. Do you have the audacity to turn his guest into a slave?"
"General Yuliangha!"
The guard who had spoken gasped, but dared not utter a word and stepped aside.
The old man was the Havel he had mentioned. After a moment of surprise, he said calmly, "Words are no proof. You are from the Flowing Wind Kingdom, how could you be General Yuliangha's guests? If you want me to believe you, produce some evidence."
"Idiot, just call General Yuliangha here, wouldn't that prove it?"
Little Bird chimed in dismissively. "Oh, and call Elder Heshu of the Bone Force Clan as well. My young master hasn't seen them in a long time."
Havel wasn't stupid. Seeing how confident Little Turtle and Little Bird were, and how they dared to send two elders from both clans, he was already seven or eight parts convinced.
However, he also thought of another deeper meaning: the two elders were the culprits of this great defeat, and they hadn't been having a good time lately. Should he go and inform them?
Havel glanced at the bulging packs on the saddles of the empty horses in our group, and swallowed hard. He wondered what was inside, and whether he should rob them first.
However, Lord Havel, who had participated in many wars in his youth, also saw clearly that the group of Liufeng people trapped in the middle were not only incredibly strong, but also showed no fear even when surrounded by so many people. They were obviously people who had seen blood. If such fierce soldiers were to be defeated, there would probably be many casualties.
Various thoughts flashed through Havel's mind, and finally he made a decision, looking up and smiling, "Esteemed guests, my camp is ten miles ahead. Why don't we rest there and wait for the two elders to arrive, shall we?"
After much thought, the fact that the two tribal chiefs and the elders hadn't killed Yuliangha Heshu despite such a severe defeat showed that these two were not to be trifled with.
If these people were just using his position to intimidate others, that would be fine; he had more people and could easily take them down… But if they were truly friends of the two elders, he, a mere leader of a small outlying tribe, would be in deep trouble.
I didn't take the group of steppe cavalry in front of me seriously, and naturally nodded, "Please have someone boil a few buckets of hot water. I'm tired from walking and need to bathe, change, and rest."
I, Liu Ri, am a man of the world, not one to be pampered. The hot water was for the two beauties, and they understood, smiling sweetly as they walked alongside me.
They didn't try to hide it, and Havel and the guards beside him immediately recognized them as women as they drew near.
Havel reluctantly ordered preparations, secretly despising me: Where did this noble scion come from? Not only is he spoiled rotten, but he also travels with beautiful concubines, making him utterly useless against any potential mishaps—a complete idiot!
But this only confirmed another thought in his mind—he was indeed a young master, probably from a family that had done business with the two elders, and was now here on vacation on the grasslands. Luckily, he hadn't attacked, otherwise, the power of that family alone would have been enough to wipe him out.
