Chapter Six: The Heartless Wine Maiden
(Updated: 4-12 8:25:45, 3363 words)

Liu Bang winked at Long Lin, "Chun San Niang, why are you being so polite with me?"
The door opened, and a fragrant breeze wafted in; it was none other than the middle-aged Chun San Niang. Her hair had been changed, her tassels rearranged, and her skirt was now a silk robe. Her bewitching eyes were even more alluring than before.
"So it's Chun San Niang! I thought it was the Queen Mother of the West!"
Liu Bang said with a teasing laugh upon seeing Chun San Niang's attire.
"When distinguished guests arrive, one naturally needs to dress up before receiving them!" Chun San Niang smiled and greeted Long Lin, "May I ask your name, distinguished guest? Chun San Niang, the owner of Xunyang Tower, greets you!"
"You're too kind, San Niang. I told you I'm not a distinguished guest! Xunyang Tower is indeed excellent, and the owner is quite charming. If you don't mind, I'd like to come often!"
Long Lin said with a smile.
At this moment, Chun San Niang winked at Long Lin again, then went to the stage to fetch a cup, filled it with wine, and toasted Long Lin.
"Chun San Niang, my brother here isn't married yet. Don't be an old horse trying to eat young grass, doing things in the wrong direction!"
Liu Bang joked, seeing Chun San Niang toast Long Lin first.
Chun San Niang gave a coquettish snort, saying, "He's an honored guest. Should I toast you, this rogue village head, first?"
Liu Bang laughed heartily, and Long Lin also smiled and raised his cup, saying, "Thank you, Chun San Niang. My brother is a rogue, my honored guest is a rogue, and you, the proprietress
, must be a rogue too!" A few jokes immediately made the atmosphere lively. Before long, Chun San Niang simply set up a chair and sat down next to Long Lin.
As the wine flowed freely, Chun San Niang and Long Lin became quite familiar. Suddenly, Liu Bang said he had to meet a friend and asked Long Lin to wait there, his eyes mysterious, seemingly hinting at something to Long Lin and Chun San Niang.
As soon as Liu Bang left, Chun San Niang leaned against Long Lin's chest.
"That rascal, he's definitely off to find that little vixen Wang again!" Chun San Niang laughed , her eyes glazed with drunkenness.
Long Lin's large hand roamed freely within Chun San Niang's bosom, discovering that although she was over thirty, she was remarkably well-preserved, far more mature than those young girls. His anger flared, and he laughed, "Who's that vixen Wang? He has such a beautiful wife, yet he still has the mind to wander outside?"
"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one, a stolen one is not as good as one you can't have, the grass is always greener on the other side!"
Chun San Niang's eyes darted around, lying on Long Lin's lap, staring at him intently.
Long Lin laughed heartily, his large hand deliberately moving downwards from Chun San Niang's bosom. Chun San Niang was wearing a silk robe, a one-piece garment, so Long Lin's large hand slid down to her most intimate area. Chun San Niang let out a soft moan, her body burning hot.
Long Lin was hot-tempered, and Chun San Niang was even more irritated;
their tempers clashed, creating a scene of intense conflict that shrouded the elegant room in darkness, as if a torrential downpour was about to begin. Perhaps Chun San Niang had planned this in advance, because for over an hour, no one dared to disturb them. Only when Chun San Niang was completely limp and had no strength left did Long Lin stop, smiling as he straightened his clothes, admiring Chun San Niang's still slender figure as he drank heavily.
"Damn! Liu Bang hasn't returned yet. Did he run away?"
Long Lin thought to himself as he drank, secretly savoring the intense battle, knowing that Liu Bang really knew how to pick women.
"Chun San Niang, have you and our Brother Liu had anything going on?"
Chun San Niang rolled her eyes at Long Lin, saying, "With his rough, uncouth appearance, I wouldn't even look at him! Only a charming young man like you is what I like!" As she spoke, her hands reached towards Long Lin's legs, making him feel a surge of desire again.
Long Lin laughed heartily, "So Brother Liu is just another cat who can't steal fish!"
Just then, a commotion broke out downstairs, interspersed with a voice like a broken gong, its tone extremely arrogant and domineering.
Chun San Niang was startled and said, "It's that idiot Niu Ga causing trouble again!"
Long Lin narrowed his eyes, "Niu Ga, what's going on?"
"This guy is the tyrant of the winery, drinking for free and even trying to take advantage of me. When Liu Tingzhang was here, he didn't dare to be too arrogant, but since he came to Sishui as Tingzhang, this guy has become even more outrageous!"
Chun San Niang said in a low voice, her eyelids drooping.
Sure enough, Niu Ga could be heard shouting downstairs, "Chun San Niang, Old Niu is craving your crotch, come down and let the man have some fun!"
"Damn it!"
Long Lin stood up, "San Niang, leave this to me!" With that, he straightened his clothes and strode downstairs.
Downstairs was a mess; the original patrons had all fled. A burly, dark-faced man with a face full of scars stood in the middle, hands on his hips, while several bruised hotel staff hid to the side, too afraid to utter a sound.
Long Lin walked down step by step, which slightly surprised Niu Ga. He was used to walking around arrogantly in this winery and even in the surrounding villages. Apart from Liu Bang and a few other untouchable figures, no one dared to mess with him.
What ability did this unassuming man have to walk so arrogantly in front of him?
"Hey... Chun San Niang has grown up! When did she get a little Niu and dare to act tough in front of me, Old Niu! Kid... call me 'Dad' and I'll forgive you!"
Niu Ga cursed.
However, just as he clearly saw Long Lin reach the stairs, his vision suddenly blurred, followed by a sharp pain on his face, a dizzying sensation in his head, and he was sent flying, smashing a table with a crash.
"Dare to act wildly here? I'll kill you!"
Long Lin's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of murderous intent, causing the hotel staff's faces to change instantly. They didn't know when the proprietress had summoned such a formidable figure to her side.
Niu Ga'er, slapped by Long Lin, felt pain all over his body. Gritting his teeth, he stood up, grabbed a chair leg, and charged at Long Lin.
"Who kills whom isn't certain yet!"
Long Lin stood there with his arms crossed, motionless. The chair leg struck Niu Ga'er's head solidly, but snapped with a crack. Anyone with eyes could see a layer of white mist enveloping his head.
"Want to hit me again?"
Long Lin, unharmed, smiled coldly.
Niu Ga'er's heart sank. He might be arrogant and domineering, but he wasn't stupid. If he had underestimated Long Lin when he was slapped, he hadn't held back at all with that blow. Even if it hit a rock, it should have left a white mark, but this guy was completely unharmed!
"Hehe... Master, please have mercy!"
Seeing Long Lin's treacherous smile, Niu Ga'er broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he began to beg for mercy.
Long Lin crossed his arms and sneered, "Have mercy? Mercy is for women, too bad you're a man!"
"You fucking get up! Keep hitting me, if you make me uncomfortable today, I'll show you what real suffering is!"
Long Lin knew that if he couldn't subdue this kind of person once, who knew how much trouble he would cause in the future. He had seen many such people in the modern world, so he didn't let up, kicking Niu Ga'er until he fell over.
"Master, Grandpa, spare me, I'll never dare to do it again!"
Niu Ga'er knew that fighting back would definitely result in him suffering losses, so he dared not fight again, only begging for mercy.
However, Long Lin had no such mercy. He was a mercenary, an assassin, a ruthless demon king who killed without blinking an eye; hitting him twice was already a great favor.
"Damn it! Still daring to talk back, hit him!"
With a single punch, Niu Ga'er, a burly man weighing over two hundred pounds, flew through the air with a thud before crashing to the ground. The punch landed squarely on his abdomen, breaking a rib, and Niu Ga'er coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Long Lin's scar on his brow began to redden; after his passionate encounter with Chun San Niang, he had suddenly become enraged and couldn't stop himself.
"Fight your grandma!"
Niu Ga'er, unable to beg for mercy, became enraged, seemingly forgetting his injuries. He leaped up from the ground and swung his fist at Long Lin's head.
"That's more like it!"
Long Lin slightly tilted his head to dodge the punch, but secretly exerted force with his foot, kicking Niu Ga'er's left leg. With a crack, the leg snapped, and Niu Ga'er screamed and knelt before him. Long
Lin grabbed Niu Ga'er's hair and lifted him up, Niu Ga'er's face contorted in pain.
Slap, slap, slap...
a dozen slaps followed, turning Niu Ga'er's face into a bloody mess.
"Grandpa, spare...spare..."
Niu Ga's teeth had been knocked out, and he was somewhat delirious, his speech already slurred.
"Brother Long Lin...let's just let it go. Just teach him a lesson, don't kill him, otherwise Liu Tingzhang will have to clean up the mess!"
At this moment, Chun San Niang said from the stairs.
Long Lin had no intention of killing Niu Ga, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered with him earlier. Giving Chun San Niang face, he sneered, threw Niu Ga to the ground, and said in a low voice, "Get lost!"
Niu Ga was barely breathing, how could he possibly roll? Several shop assistants came up, lifted him up, and threw him out.
"Brother Long, come up, let's have another drink!"
Chun San Niang saw Long Lin's imposing presence, and how even the usually wicked Niu Ga was like a cat under his control, she couldn't help but admire him even more, her voice even sounding sweet and gentle.
Long Lin smiled slightly, inwardly sighing, "This time, I'll definitely make that slut suffer a fate worse than death!"
However, when Long Lin drank that cup of wine, he felt drunk, in a state of hazy intoxication.
Logically, he shouldn't have gotten drunk so quickly even after drinking two more jugs, but that was precisely the case. The image of Chun San Niang before him became increasingly blurry, until finally, only a blank space remained.
Yet, Chun San Niang was indeed smiling, and quite smugly at that.
She reached up and fastened the clothes that Long Lin had opened, covering the glimpse of her skin, then began groping Long Lin's body.
A gun, a gold brick.
Chun San Niang's eyes were greatly stimulated by the gleam of the gold brick, and the smile on her face seemed to change. She quickly turned and ran downstairs.
"You rascal, who is this kid?"
Chun San Niang placed the gun and gold brick on the table, a mixture of surprise and guilt in her voice.
This was a secret room behind the Xunjiang Restaurant, where Liu Bang sat at the table.
“I don’t know who he is either. But this guy is incredibly powerful, which is why I came up with this plan!”
Liu Bang said, then looked at Chun San Niang. “San Niang, you did a good job. I’m taking these things. That kid took three days’ worth of Drunken Soul Powder, so you keep an eye on him!”
“I know, you rascal…”
Chun San Niang looked at Liu Bang expectantly and said sweetly.
Liu Bang laughed heartily, then suddenly lowered his voice and said wickedly, “Didn’t that kid satisfy you? But I have to hurry back today. Wait for me to come back!”
As he spoke, Liu Bang took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Chun San Niang’s arms, then casually pinched her bulging breasts before laughing and walking out of the secret room.
A fast horse galloped along the dirt road into Liu Family Village.
Liu Bang dismounted and went straight into the inner village, then found Long Lin’s guest room and searched it thoroughly.
He was a rogue and a scoundrel, but he was also extremely meticulous, carefully searching every place he touched, afraid of leaving anything out.

Chapter Seven: A Scheme Within a Scheme

He was a rogue and a scoundrel, but also extremely meticulous. He was very careful in everything he rummaged through, afraid of leaving anything out.
When he unearthed the large bundle Long Lin was carrying, Liu Bang gasped in shock.
Besides a dagger and a strangely shaped iron pipe as thick as a thigh, the bundle was filled entirely with gold bricks. Each brick weighed at least two jin (approximately 1 kg), totaling about thirty jin!
"I'm rich!"
Liu Bang was overjoyed, and a wicked thought arose in his heart. He immediately thought of turning back, riding back to the winery, killing that man without anyone noticing, and then all these things would be his, Liu Bang's.
Hmm, and that Chun San Niang, although he was a little reluctant, for the sake of this treasure, he had no choice but to kill her to silence her.
"Husband!"
A soft voice suddenly rang out behind him, startling Liu Bang. He quickly turned around and saw his wife, Lü Zhi, before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Wife...come quickly!"
Liu Bang said hastily. Although he was a rogue, he was quite afraid of his wife. Besides Lü Zhi's beauty, there was one thing he felt he could never match: her cunning.
In fact, it was Lü Zhi who had helped him get his position as a village head. Moreover, his father, Lü Taigong, was related to the magistrate of Pei County and was a prominent figure there.
Lü Zhi frowned slightly when she saw the gold, and seeing Liu Bang's expression, she understood his intentions.
"Wife, that boy has completely captivated me! All this is ours!"
Liu Bang's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Lü Zhi pondered for a long time without speaking, her phoenix eyes fixed on Liu Bang thoughtfully, as if with a deeper meaning.
"What's wrong, Madam?"
Liu Bang asked in surprise, then explained with a smile, "I don't know that boy at all, and his martial arts skills are incredibly high, plus his origins are unknown. He might be some kind of notorious bandit."
The implication was that he should be kept alive to prevent future trouble.
Lü Zhi sat down in a chair, looked at Liu Bang, and said, "However, in my opinion, it's better to keep him alive!"
Liu Bang, of course, was unaware of the secret relationship between Lü Zhi, Liu Yu'er, and Long Lin. Seeing his good plan completely rejected by his wife, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Lü Zhi smiled and said, "These treasures, though plentiful, are far less valuable than that person!"
"How so?"
Liu Bang asked, puzzled.
"Although that person's origins are unknown, he possesses extraordinary skills, and you don't know him at all. You have no great use to him, so why would he come looking for you? There are only two possibilities: one, you are indeed, as he says, destined to become the emperor; two, he's desperate and has stumbled upon this place to get a meal."
Liu Bang nodded.
Lü Zhi continued, "If someone were plotting against us, he probably would have started massacring the village last night. With his abilities, none of the villagers in our village would have been enough for him to kill. Moreover, given his cunning, he certainly doesn't understand the principle of not flaunting wealth. He immediately gave Taigong a gold brick. What does that say?"
Liu Bang remained silent, only looking at Lü Zhi.
"He's just making it clear that he doesn't care about these valuables, or rather, he wants to use them to curry favor with us!"
Lü Zhi continued. "Judging from what he's done these past two days, he's not just desperately trying to get by. That means you might really be like he says, a hidden dragon in the abyss, destined to rise above the rest, soaring across the seas and ruling the world!"
Lü Zhi's analysis immediately jolted Liu Bang awake, completely erasing his earlier greedy thoughts. After all, he knew perfectly well which was more important, the throne or these few dozen pounds of gold.
"So what do we do now?"
Liu Bang was momentarily flustered, his original plans completely disrupted, his palms sweating profusely with no idea what to do. If Long Lin found out about this, the consequences would be dire.
Lü Zhi smiled slightly, but wasn't in a hurry, and asked, "How did you manage to bewitch Long Lin?"
Liu Bang had no choice, so he recounted how he led Long Lin to the Xunjiang Restaurant and had Chun San Niang tell him how Long Lin had bewitched him.
“Chun San Niang!”
Lü Zhi nodded with a half-smile. “So you really are still seeing that vixen!”
Liu Bang knew Lü Zhi was jealous and was anxious to explain. At this moment, Lü Zhi said, “Fine, go back and kill Chun San Niang, then apologize to Long Lin.”
“What a ruthless woman!”
Liu Bang cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. Lü Zhi was, after all, helping him escape. After thinking for a moment, he agreed, “Okay! That’s the only way!”
Lü Zhi blinked. “Why are you still a little reluctant?”
Liu Bang stood up, swearing, “What’s there to be reluctant about! She’s just a wild woman! I’ll go right now!”
With that, Liu Bang carefully packed Long Lin’s things and rushed out of the guest room.
Hearing the sound of horses’ hooves fading into the distance, Lü Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appearing on her face.
Actually, she wasn’t truly jealous of Chun San Niang; she was just doing this to keep Long Lin around, and it was only because Long Lin’s life wasn’t meant to end there.
Seeing Liu Bang return in such a flurry, Chun San Niang felt a surge of unease. She hadn't quite had her fill of pleasure with Long Lin and wanted to challenge Liu Bang again, but now her eyes were glazed, her lips fiery red, and she looked utterly alluring.
"San Niang, come with me!"
Liu Bang called to Chun San Niang, and together they went upstairs to see Long Lin.
Because of Long Lin, the inn's staff had all been sent to the back room. Moreover, after Niu Ga'er's earlier outburst at Xunjiang Tower, there were no other customers, and it was quite quiet.
Chun San Niang took Liu Bang's arm and went upstairs, pushing open the door to the private room, where they saw Long Lin still asleep.
"San Niang, give me the antidote for the Three-Day Drunken Soul Powder!"
Liu Bang said.
Chun San Niang's mind was filled with wicked thoughts. Although she didn't know what Liu Bang meant by wanting the antidote, she still took out a small bottle from her clothes and handed it to him, saying, "You rascal, let's finish him off quickly and then have some fun."
Liu Bang's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "I'm not interested in killing someone right away. How about we..." He put one arm around Chun San Niang's slender waist.
Chun San Niang gave a soft moan and obediently let Liu Bang hold her. Thinking of the intense battle with Long Lin on the chair, her cheeks flushed and her body felt unbearably hot.
Liu Bang made Chun San Niang turn around so that her back was to him, and began to lift the back of her skirt with one hand.
"You rascal, come on, come hard from behind!"
Chun San Niang panted excitedly, urging him on.
"Okay, wait!"
Liu Bang said, while drawing a bronze sword from his waist.
"Ah..."
Chun San Niang felt a hard object pierce her lower back, but it wasn't what she craved, nor did it bring the pleasure she had imagined; instead, it brought excruciating pain.
"You bastard..."
Chun San Niang turned her head and saw Liu Bang's blood-stained face grinning maliciously. She still couldn't believe it was real, and after a moment of stunned silence, she only managed to ask "Why?" before dying.
"Hmph!"
Liu Bang's smile instantly turned utterly cold. He kicked Chun San Niang's corpse aside, turned around, wiped the blood off his body, and came to Long Lin's side.
Long Lin took the antidote and quickly regained consciousness.
"What happened?"
Long Lin smelled the blood, looked at the dead Chun San Niang, and saw Liu Bang holding the bronze sword.
"I'm sorry my brother suffered like this! It's all my fault!"
Liu Bang helped Long Lin to his feet, feigning remorse as he spoke.
Long Lin felt dizzy and knew he must have been drugged. Seeing Liu Bang's appearance, Long Lin roughly understood what had happened and immediately asked, "Did you save me, brother?"
Liu Bang sighed and said, "Luckily I came back a step earlier, otherwise I would have regretted it!" As he spoke, he kicked Chun San Niang's corpse hard again and cursed, "Damn bitch!"
"Brother, I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
Long Lin's eyes darted around, and he saw that his gold bars and pistol were still there. He knew Liu Bang's character very well, and he already had a thought in his mind, but at this moment, he immediately knelt down and thanked him without hesitation.
"Brother, get up quickly. This is not a place to stay for long. Let's leave quickly. I will naturally arrange the aftermath here!"
Liu Bang said, and went downstairs with Long Lin.
All the waiters in the restaurant were in the back room. The two went out, mounted their horses, and went straight back to Liu Family Village. After
drinking some calming wine at Liu Family Village, Long Lin went back to his room to rest, while Liu Bang went to deal with the matter of killing Chun San Niang. As
night fell, Long Lin was alone, thinking about the events of the day.
Just now, he had checked his luggage. With his usual meticulousness and keen intuition, he suspected someone had touched it. Reflecting on Liu Bang's behavior today, he became even more certain of his suspicions.
After his passionate encounter with Chun San Niang, he had very assertively driven Niu Ga'er away for her. No woman would plot against him for a mere gold bar. Besides
, she should have realized Liu Bang would return. If he discovered she had plotted against him, he certainly wouldn't let it go.
Based on his opinion of Chun San Niang, she shouldn't be such a foolish woman.
Therefore, her death was clearly a scapegoat. And this scapegoat was none other than Liu Bang, his sworn brother.
Under the lamplight, a mysterious smile appeared on Long Lin's face.
Liu Bang was indeed no ordinary rogue or scoundrel; his cunning was enough to make him a powerful warlord. This was exactly the result he wanted.
Liu Bang conspired with Chun San Niang to murder him, and even touched his belongings. If it were a murder for money, Long Lin would be dead even with ten lives. However, Liu Bang not only didn't kill him, but also killed his accomplice, Chun San Niang, which proved that he had won.
He had convinced Liu Bang that he was someone who could change his life.
However, he naturally didn't know that Lü Zhi also played a role in this.
Chun San Niang's death had nothing to do with him. Women like that were everywhere; if he wanted them, they would have to wait in line.
Understanding the situation, Long Lin felt very satisfied. The image of Chun San Niang floated into his mind, and he unconsciously became somewhat angry again.
Just then, they suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the back courtyard. Long Lin crouched down and quietly slipped out, hiding in the shadows by the door to peek into the backyard.
In the distance, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and a cloud-like hairpin peeked out from behind the low courtyard wall, followed by Liu Yu'er's flawless face.
"Damn, this little girl definitely can't resist again. This time, she's just what I wanted!"
Long Lin chuckled inwardly, quietly slipping away. Just as Liu Yu'er was about to jump off the wall, he leaped up like a cat and caught her in his arms.
"Ah..."
Liu Yu'er was about to scream when she was suddenly caught, but Long Lin had already covered her mouth and silently carried her back to the room.
Under the lamplight, upon realizing it was Long Lin embracing her, Liu Yu'er's pale face instantly flushed crimson. She playfully punched him, whispering, "You bad boy, you scared me to death!" Long
Lin tossed Liu Yu'er onto the bed, chuckling, "Not only will I scare you to death now, I'll make you feel amazing later!"
Liu Yu'er, however, was no longer ashamed. She glanced at Long Lin sideways, "I came to you in the middle of the night just to have some fun. Sleeping alone in the room is so uncomfortable!"
"Alright... I'll make you feel good right now! But don't cry out in pain later!"
Long Lin thought to himself. This seemingly sickly girl had aroused him intensely. Laughing, he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.
Liu Yu'er couldn't resist undressing herself, and her appearance made Long Lin lose all restraint. Ignoring his half-undressed pants, he pounced on her like a wolf.
The lamplight crackled, and Liu Yu'er's suppressed moans echoed in the guest room.

Chapter Eight: Mountain Bandits' Rebellion
Update Time: 4-13 8:20:37 Words: 3178

Liu Family Village.
A fast horse galloped along the dirt road across the fields. Its back was covered in bloody whip marks, showing the immense strength its master had used to drive it.
The horse's owner was a tall, middle-aged man, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes; he was Liu Dali, an ordinary servant of Liu Family Village. However, he was now covered in dust, with two scars on his forehead, and his clothes were torn in several places, seeping with blood.
"Something terrible has happened! Quickly, find Grandfather! Find the Second Young Master!"
The courtyard gate was opened, and Liu Dali leaped into the courtyard, then rushed into the inner village.
Grandfather Liu had already received the news and came out to greet them, along with Liu Bang, who had just returned from dealing with Chun San Niang's body and hadn't had time to rest.
The black horse neighed and stopped in the inner village. Liu Dali fell off the horse and was helped into the inner hall by the others.
Although his injuries weren't serious, the long run had left him extremely weak, and he only managed to regain some strength after being given a couple of sips of water.
"What happened?"
Liu Bang asked.
Liu Dali then recounted the events.
It turned out that the team Liu Taigong had sent to Jiuwangzhuang to transport farm tools was about to reach Jiuwangzhuang when they suddenly encountered a band of bandits. The twenty-odd men were no match for the hundred-odd bandits armed with knives and spears, and were slaughtered in a single exchange.
The five hundred strings of cash entrusted to Jiuwangzhuang for making farm tools were stolen. Liu Dali, relying on his strength, killed one of the bandits with a wooden spear and stole a horse to escape.
Upon hearing this, Liu Taigong immediately tried to turn away, but people rushed to his aid, giving him water and pinching his philtrum to revive him, and then helped him to the back hall to rest.
Liu Bang frowned deeply, his teeth clenched in hatred.
The death of more than twenty people and the loss of five hundred strings of cash were considered a major case in the entire Pei County. "Damn it!
Who dares to rob my Liu Family Village like this?!
Five hundred strings of cash, equivalent to two years' harvest for Liu Family Village. The money for forging farm tools is also a huge sum, and what's worse, more than twenty lives have been lost.
" "Dali, you rest here. I'll go to the county office first, report this to the magistrate, and then issue a warrant. I swear I will capture these bandits!"
Liu Bang calmed himself and instructed Liu Dali before hurriedly heading to Pei County with the two men.
Long Lin, of course, knew nothing of this. He was currently fast asleep, his arms around Liu Yu'er's smooth waist. The incident happened so suddenly that no one informed him until noon.
Liu Bang had already returned from the county office.
"Brother, how could this happen? Who did it?"
Long Lin asked. Although he had been a mercenary leader and had killed not just twenty, but even two thousand men, he knew the extent of the loss this incident had caused to Liu Family Village. Without these twenty men and the five hundred strings of cash, almost half of Liu Family Village is gone.
Liu Bang frowned and said, "It's a group of bandits from Wolf Head Ridge in the nearby mountains. I led men to wipe them out last year and killed dozens of their henchmen. This time they've come to retaliate!"
"These bandits are so rampant now! Why doesn't the magistrate send troops to wipe them out?"
Although Long Lin was well aware that the harsh rule of the Qin Dynasty had led to the rise of bandits, he still pretended not to know and asked.
"Sigh, don't say anymore! Wiping them out isn't that easy. There are three bandit leaders on Wolf Head Ridge: one is called Blue-Eyed Wolf Chen Hu, the eldest, who is skilled with throwing knives; another is called White-Eyed Wolf Zhao Neng, the second eldest, who specializes in scheming; and the third is called Tear-Bear Wolf Sun Jin, the eldest, who is extremely strong and can wield a thousand-pound stone lock. These three have more than three hundred henchmen under their command, almost thirty percent of the number of soldiers in Pei County."
Liu Bang sighed. As the village head, he was helpless against these vicious bandits.
Long Lin nodded. "Are we just going to suffer this loss for nothing?"
"Of course not!"
Liu Bang said angrily. "I have already reported to the magistrate, who will gather 500 soldiers and 1,000 guards within five days to attack Wolf Head Ridge and wipe out this band of bandits."
"Hmm, that's more like it!"
Long Lin said, but inwardly he was sneer. A mere 1,500 men taking five days to gather—it seemed their strength wasn't really that great! It might just be a bluff.
"Brother Liu, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you. I'll do my duty without hesitation,"
Long Lin said after thinking for a moment. After all, he had slept with Liu Bang's wife and sister, so he should at least say something polite. Last night's passionate night with Liu Yu'er had truly given Long Lin a great time, leaving Liu Yu'er almost unable to get out of bed; Long Lin had to carry her back.
"Thank you, Brother Long. There's nothing else, but my father just said that we urgently need those farm tools and need to find a way to retrieve them from Jiuwang Town. I was thinking of asking Brother Long to come along this time. What do you think?"
Liu Bang thought for a moment and said.
"That's easy. If we encounter those bandits, I'll let them taste my power!"
Long Lin readily agreed, patting his waist where a pistol bulged.
Liu Bang knew how capable Long Lin was and laughed, "With Brother Long here, everything will be fine! By the way, I've already taken care of your household registration. You're registered as a resident of Liu Family Village in Pei County. The magistrate has specially approved you for the position of thief hunter at Sishui Pavilion, with a monthly salary of two hundred coins." "
Haha, the monthly salary isn't a problem. It's just enough to buy wine. As long as I can follow Brother Liu, I'm satisfied,"
Long Lin said with a smile.
Liu Bang, of course, understood the hidden meaning in Long Lin's words and laughed heartily. The two quickly agreed to set off early the next morning with ten farmhands and two large carts to Jiuwangzhuang.
That night, Liu Bang stayed in the inner village, so Long Lin naturally had no chance to touch Lü Zhi, that little hussy. However, Liu Yu'er was there to help him relieve his desire and boost his morale.
But, just to be on the safe side, Long Lin didn't bring Liu Yu'er to the guest room this time. Instead, he climbed over the wall to her boudoir in the middle of the night.
The boudoir, the fragrant beauty—it was Long Lin's first time experiencing this. Although it was far from the service he received from the foreign woman, Elisa, in the presidential suite years ago, Liu Yu'er was still charming and lovely. Seeing her lover arrive, she worked even harder, using all the techniques her sister-in-law had taught him to please men, making Long Lin cry out in pleasure.
Long Lin, of course, didn't mistreat Liu Yu'er either. The beauty of his masculine strength conquered her completely, and she cried out for help repeatedly. But the one who saved her was the very man who had been violent towards her. The war ended in his complete victory only when she was on the verge of death.
Early the next morning, Long Lin and Liu Bang each rode a fine horse, leading men and carts towards Jiuwang Town.
Liu Bang seemed quite worn out by Lü Zhi's lewd behavior the day before; his steps were unsteady as he mounted his horse, and it took him a while to straighten up.
However, Liu Bang, being a scoundrel, was quite the character. He chuckled and said to Long Lin, "Brother Long, this trip to Jiuwang Village will be even more fun! I'll take you somewhere that will make your legs weak with pleasure!"
Long Lin smiled and said, "My legs won't be weak, but I'll trouble you, brother!"
"Good, brother, you're truly heroic!"
Liu Bang looked at Long Lin on horseback, chest out, head held high, as steady as a mountain, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, praising him immediately.
"Brother Liu isn't bad either. Your wife is so beautiful, and you still have the mind to philander outside; you're quite the ladies' man!"
Long Lin chuckled, his tone naturally a mixture of praise and sarcasm.
Liu Bang, wanting to use Long Lin's help to achieve rapid advancement and rise to prominence, completely disregarded Long Lin's sarcasm. Instead, he laughed and echoed, "A man who isn't romantic in his youth is wasting his life. Besides, even the sweetest garden flower can't compare to the allure of wildflowers, can it?"
"Yes, yes, even the strongest wind in a pond at home can't stir up waves on the sea!"
Long Lin thought to himself that Liu Bang was indeed a complete scoundrel, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Jiuwang Village was over a hundred li away from Liu Family Village. Normally, it would take a day to reach it, but due to the rampant bandits in Pei County, those people had only been delayed for two days last time, yet they still couldn't escape the calamity.
This time, Liu Bang was going personally, and with the expert Long Lin present, they decided to shorten the two-day journey to one day. Traveling nearly a hundred li in one day was uneventful, and they arrived at the gates of Jiuwang Village at dusk.
"Wow! What a huge village!"
Long Lin couldn't help but admire Jiuwang Village in his heart.
Although both were manors, Jiuwang Manor was several times larger than Liu Family Manor. Its outer walls rivaled those of Pei County, complete with arrow towers and barbed wire. Two squads of burly, strong-willed guards, each wielding an iron sword, stood guard beside the massive wooden gate, their imposing presence sending shivers down the spines of anyone approaching.
Long Lin, of course, had seen it all before and was completely unfazed. Liu Bang, a seasoned veteran of the outside world, remained unmoved as well. Only a few timid guards from Liu Family Manor trembled with fear, their legs weak and hands numb.
"Alright, this is Jiuwang Manor. We'll collect the goods tomorrow; tonight we'll have a good time!"
Liu Bang shouted as soon as he entered.
These words seemed to have a magical effect, instantly energizing the exhausted guards, who thanked Liu Bang loudly.
Liu Bang winked at Long Lin, who responded with a nod and a smile.
"It seems Liu Bang knows how to win people's hearts!" Long Lin thought to himself.
Jiuwangzhuang was comparable in size to a large market town, boasting numerous ironworks and a full range of amenities including food, drink, lodging, bathing, entertainment, and more.
Liu Bang seemed very familiar with the area. After dropping off his carriage at an inn, he led his entourage straight to a restaurant. After a hearty meal, he gave each of the villagers ten strings of cash to go about their business, while he and Long Lin headed east of town.
They both knew exactly what they were going to do there.
Cuiyun Tower, the largest brothel in Jiuwangzhuang, was filled with beautiful and professionally trained women. Liu Bang tossed down a hundred strings of cash, and the two were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Even at dawn, when Long Lin and Liu Bang emerged, Liu Bang still had dark circles under his eyes. Long Lin, of course, was fine; with his prowess, he could easily have another half day without fatigue.
Liu Bang had just questioned the woman who served Long Lin and learned that Long Lin truly possessed an unyielding erection. He admired Long Lin even more, considering him a god-like figure.

Chapter Nine: Forging Rifles
Update Time: 4-14 7:53:22 Words: 3699

Tianba Iron Shop.
A coarse cloth sign, blackened by smoke, swayed in the wind. The shop was in front, and the courtyard behind it housed the ironwork workshop. This was where Liu Family Village ordered iron farm tools.
Two large carts were parked at the back door, and Liu Bang and Long Lin went inside to discuss business.
The shop wasn't crowded, but every order seemed to be a big deal, from large items like carriages and knives to small farm tools and toys—it seemed this shop could make almost anything.
An old man with white hair and a hunched back was tending the shop. After finishing with the other customers, he suddenly noticed Liu Bang and Long Lin sitting silently beside him.
"Oh dear, Chief Liu… why didn't you let me know you were coming? I could have greeted you first!"
The old man was very talkative, darting over.
"Old Chang, have the things Liu Family Village ordered been made?"
Liu Bang chuckled and asked directly.
"It's done... Ah, Chief Liu, but don't be angry!"
Old Man Chang said with a forced smile, seemingly troubled.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Bang's face darkened as he asked.
Old Man Chang rubbed his hands, forcing a dry laugh, "It's like this, the day before yesterday, something unpleasant happened at your estate, and we thought you wouldn't be in a hurry for the goods. Just then, another estate urgently needed goods, so we gave them that batch first!"
"What!"
Liu Bang slammed his hand on the table, "Are you afraid my Liu Family Estate will renege on its debt?"
"No, no..."
Old Man Chang hurriedly waved his hands, "Chief Liu, don't worry, we're working hard to finish it. If we can get all the goods ready today, you can take them away first thing tomorrow morning. Is that alright?"
Liu Bang frowned, remaining silent.
Old Man Chang hurriedly added, "Judging from Liu Tingzhang's appearance, he arrived last night, right? Today's a good day to rest. If you can't get the goods by tomorrow, I'll take your head!"
"Alright! We'll wait another day. We're tired anyway, so we'll give you a one-day grace. But you have to give me a discount!"
Liu Bang thought for a moment and said.
"No problem, no problem!" Old Man Chang readily agreed.
Liu Bang turned to look at Long Lin, "Brother Long, since we have another day, why don't we take a good look around Jiuwang Village?"
While Old Man Chang and Liu Bang were talking, Long Lin was thinking about something else.
This matter was dealing with the bandits of Wolf Head Ridge.
He was now with Liu Bang and was also the bandit leader of Sishui Pavilion, so he would definitely be needed when it came to suppressing bandits. And to fight, one needed a suitable weapon. But currently, besides his pistol and a small dagger, he had no other weapons.
He had just noticed that Tianba Ironworks seemed to produce weapons, so he thought about having one made there.
"Brother Liu, I have an idea, I wonder if you would agree?"
Long Lin said when Liu Bang approached him, then explained his idea.
"Good! No problem!"
Liu Bang readily agreed, and said to Old Man Chang, "Find your best craftsman to forge a weapon for my brother! Brother Long, is it a sword, a knife, or a spear?"
"Weapons are easy to say, but the craftsman doesn't need to be too good, just someone who can do the work. I only need the furnace and the mold; I'll make the rest myself!"
Long Lin said.
"Eh? Brother Long can make ironware?"
Liu Bang asked in surprise. During the Qin Dynasty, iron smelting was still in its infancy, and there were very few people who knew how to make ironware. That's why there were villages like Jiuwangzhuang that were famous for their ironware.
Moreover, he certainly didn't know that Long Lin was a weapons manufacturing expert who could casually break records in the Qin Dynasty's iron smelting industry and fill technological gaps.
"It's nothing special, but the things I make are handy and I feel safe using them!"
Long Lin said casually.
Old Man Chang carefully examined Long Lin, noticing his extraordinary bearing, and after a moment's thought, said enthusiastically, "In that case, that's wonderful! Please follow me."
With that, Old Man Chang led Long Lin and Liu Bang through the wooden door at the back of the shop and into the backyard.
Upon entering the backyard, Liu Bang jokingly exclaimed, "The backyard's on fire again!"
Old Man Chang and Long Lin laughed. Of course, Old Man Chang's laughter was self-deprecating, while Long Lin's laughter was a thought of Liu Bang's wife, Lü Zhi.
Although the front of Tianba Ironworks wasn't large, the back courtyard was quite spacious, comprising four courtyards. The first two courtyards were for cold iron work—cutting and polishing ironware—while the back was for smelting and forging iron.
At furnaces taller than two people, iron blocks were melted into molten iron and poured into clay molds to form rough blanks, which were then forged in a cooler furnace.
Along the way, there were over thirty blacksmiths and more than twenty assistants, all rugged men.
Because of the furnace fires, they wore very little clothing, their upper bodies bare, revealing their bronze skin.
Beside the furnace, a man dressed in black stood, easily nine feet tall, as strong as a black bear; his thick arms alone suggested a thousand-pound strength.
"This is my son, Chang Tianba, also our best blacksmith master,"
Old Man Chang introduced him to Liu Bang and Long Lin, then beckoned Chang Tianba to pay his respects.
"Tianba, these two are distinguished guests. This young master also knows ironworking, so you can help him out. Remember to learn from him!"
Old Chang instructed before making an excuse to go back to his business.
Liu Bang, usually pampered, couldn't stand the heat here, so he also made an excuse to go out for tea.
"What kind of object does the young master want to be made?"
Chang Tianba asked innocently.
Long Lin smiled slightly. Seeing Chang Tianba, he couldn't help but think of the dead Wolf Blade, and immediately said, "No need to call me young master, my name is Long Lin. Just call me Brother Long or Big Brother Long. You probably haven't seen what I'm making before, but I can draw a sketch for you. You just need to cast the parts I need." "
Okay, Big Brother Long!"
Chang Tianba readily agreed and quickly brought out white silk and ink.
Although Long Lin wasn't very used to using the brush, he still managed to draw a rough sketch. But it was this sketch that left Chang Tianba stunned for a full half hour before he recovered.
"Brother Long, is this something really complicated? Is it a weapon?"
Just by looking at the drawing, Chang Tianba knew that Long Lin was no ordinary blacksmith, because even his master, the third-ranked blacksmith in the entire Central Plains, couldn't draw such a thing.
"That's right, it's a weapon, called a rifle bayonet!"
Long Lin patiently explained. In fact, the drawing he had made was a simple diagram of a rifle bayonet assembly—the weapon he wanted.
Chang Tianba stared at the drawing for a long time, pondering it carefully, before slowly saying, "The larger parts are easy to make, but I might not be able to make the smaller ones here."
"I know that."
Long Lin was pleased to see Chang Tianba's honesty and immediately told him directly. "Because the smaller parts need to be made of copper, you'll need to find me a skilled copper workshop."
"That's easy! Tian Tong Zhai next door is excellent; they can definitely do this!"
Chang Tianba readily agreed.
“Alright, send someone to find them right away. I need all these parts finished by tonight. Cost is not a problem!”
Long Lin said, because he only had one day here, and there were still three days before the bandit suppression mission. Besides the bayonet, he also needed to spend a lot of time making bullets, so he didn't have much time left.
“It should be fine!”
Chang Tianba drew another copy of the parts from the diagram and gave it to his men to make at Tian Tong Zhai, while he ordered a pile of iron blocks to be brought over to prepare clay molds.
Long Lin then gave him new instructions, telling him to reheat the iron after casting it, repeatedly cool it in cold water, and finally continuously forge and refine its shape.
“Why is that?”
Chang Tianba had never heard of such a method before.
Long Lin laughed and said, "This is called quenching, to increase the strength of the iron. Otherwise, such a thin, hollow iron rod would break easily with the slightest force; how could it be used as a weapon?" Sure
enough, the first few components he made were substandard, breaking easily when Long Lin bent them with his hands. Later, following Long Lin's instructions, some strange materials were added to the molten iron, resulting in a significant increase in hardness.
Even that iron pipe couldn't be bent by hitting it with an iron rod.
"Brother Long, please take me as your apprentice!"
As night approached, Chang Tianba finally finished making the items Long Lin had requested. Although Long Lin wasn't entirely satisfied, this was the highest level of craftsmanship that Tianba Ironworks could achieve. At this moment, Chang Tianba made a request.
Long Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Take me as your master? Haha... That's great, but I won't be staying here for long. Can your father agree to let you leave Tianba Ironworks?"
"Yes, as long as Master agrees to take Tianba in, I will follow wherever Master goes!"
Chang Tianba answered without hesitation, kneeling down and kowtowing three times with a resounding thud.
"Alright..."
Long Lin stretched out a hand, secretly channeling his inner energy, and pulled Chang Tianba up from the ground, laughing, "I may not only have to wander the world, but I may also have to kill people. Do you dare?"
"I dare!"
Chang Tianba said readily.
Long Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, call your father over, I want to say a few words to him."
After a conversation with Old Man Chang, Long Lin learned that Chang Tianba had actually served as a Qin soldier and participated in several battles. He had offended a sergeant and, in a fit of rage, killed the sergeant and fled.
Furthermore, he had learned his blacksmithing skills from a master weapon maker in the Qin army.
Knowing Chang Tianba's background, Long Lin's desire to take him in grew stronger. He immediately promised Old Man Chang fifty strings of iron coins as a retirement allowance and took Tianba with him.
Old Man Chang knew that Long Lin was now the notorious thief of Sishui Pavilion and couldn't afford to offend him. Besides, Chang Tianba insisted on following Long Lin, so he had no choice but to agree.
At this time, the shop assistant sent to Tian Tong Lou returned with the parts Long Lin had requested.
Long Lin was very satisfied with the parts, feeling that the copper-making skills of the Qin Dynasty had truly reached their pinnacle; even the bullet casings were indistinguishable from those he had made himself.
Stepping out of the workshop and into the shop in front, Liu Bang returned from drinking. Seeing the large, disorganized mess Long Lin had gathered, he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Long, is this the weapon you wanted to make?"
Long Lin smiled calmly and nodded, "These are it!"
To be honest, Long Lin knew these things weren't very aesthetically pleasing. The rifle itself looked like a thick fire poker, and the small parts, resembling concealed weapons, seemed utterly useless to outsiders.
However, given Liu Bang's limited understanding, how could they possibly guess what these things were for?
While chatting casually with Chang Tianba and Liu Bang, Long Lin assembled the items, weighing them in his hand. Although somewhat heavy, it was, after all, a suitable pure iron rifle.
Long Lin examined the rifle, which had taken a whole day to make and incorporated almost all of the highest-level iron and copper-making techniques of the Qin Dynasty. He smiled with satisfaction and said to Liu Bang, "Brother Liu, try your bronze sword!"
"Alright!"
Liu Bang laughed and drew his bronze sword, genuinely wondering what was so special about this thing Long Lin had concocted—neither stick nor staff.
*Crack, clang...*
Liu Bang swung his sword with all his might. Long Lin raised his spear to meet it, and with a crisp sound, the two separated.
The bronze sword was already somewhat chipped, while Long Lin's rifle only had a few white marks.

Chapter Ten: Bloody Wolf Slaughter (
Updated: 4-20 9:49:07, 3608 words)

"It's quite sturdy. I wonder if a sword made from it would be sharper than my bronze sword!"
Liu Bang asked Long Lin, stroking the blade.
"Of course it would be sharper than your bronze sword, but because the furnace temperature here is too low, even if it were made, it wouldn't last long!"
Long Lin laughed. He stroked the slightly uneven barrel of the rifle, quite satisfied with its hardness. Although it couldn't compare to a real rifle, it was sufficient as a melee weapon.
"How could that be? Sharper than my bronze sword? Wouldn't that be a divine weapon?"
Liu Bang exclaimed, suddenly remembering a dagger over a foot long, incredibly sharp, that he had found in Long Lin's bundle. However, he couldn't let Long Lin know he had seen that divine weapon.
"Haha, Brother Liu, you don't understand. While this iron weapon is sharp, it's too weak. If it had a blade like a bronze sword, it would have broken with that force! But if the blade were thicker, it would be too heavy, affecting its dexterity,"
Long Lin laughed. He didn't know if Liu Bang would understand, but Chang Tianba did, and his respect and admiration for Long Lin grew even stronger.
That night, Long Lin and Liu Bang went off to enjoy themselves, while Chang Tianba packed his things to return to Liu Family Village with them the next day. Long Lin carefully wrapped the sketch he had drawn in oiled paper and placed it in a wooden box.
Long Lin accepted Chang Tianba as his apprentice and greeted Liu Bang, hoping Liu Bang could temporarily arrange a position for him at the Sishui Pavilion. Liu Bang readily agreed.
Having forged his own weapons and gained an apprentice to strengthen his forces, Long Lin was very excited. That night, almost everyone in the Cuiyun Tower could hear the woman's shrill moans coming from the room by the window.
"Damn, it's already so bright!"
When Long Lin woke up, it was already broad daylight. He dressed and went downstairs, where Liu Bang was already waiting with a smile.
He knew what Liu Bang was smiling about, but he didn't mind at all and took the breakfast Liu Bang offered, eating it heartily. The unique meat-filled pancakes of Jiuwangzhuang smelled wonderful, reminding Long Lin of the chubby little girl from the previous night.
Arriving at Tianba Ironworks, the two large carts were already fully loaded. Chang Tianba, his belongings packed, stood like an iron tower in front of the carts, waiting for Liu Bang and Long Lin. After exchanging
pleasantries with Old Man Chang and settling the bill, the group left Jiuwangzhuang and returned to Liujiazhuang.
They hadn't encountered any bandits on the way there, so they were even less afraid on the way back. They didn't have much money, and the carts were loaded with farm tools, which wouldn't be of any use to the bandits. Therefore, the group traveled slowly and leisurely, without any hurry.
Chang Tianba strode forward, closely following Long Lin and Liu Bang's horses, constantly asking Long Lin questions, mostly about ironwork.
Long Lin answered everything he knew, leaving Chang Tianba completely absorbed, often lost in thought.
After all, Chang Tianba was on two legs, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn't match the speed of Liu Bang and Long Lin's horses. Over time, he gradually fell behind.
"Brother Long, the day after tomorrow is the day we march on Wolf Head Ridge. If we can kill one of the three wolves, we'll receive a reward of a thousand strings of cash from the county magistrate. Maybe we can even get promoted!"
Liu Bang said leisurely, riding his horse, to Long Lin.
Hearing Liu Bang's words, Long Lin secretly laughed at his petty nature. He found it hard to imagine how such a greedy, lustful rogue could become an emperor and unify the world. It seemed he would have to put in a lot of effort in the future. But there was nothing he could do; after all, he wanted to use the Five Emperors Bell to return to the modern world with cars, helicopters, presidential suites, cocktails, and foreign women.
"Brother Liu, let's cut to the chase. It seems we're in trouble!"
Long Lin glanced into the distance and said casually.
Two men dressed in coarse cloth and wearing bamboo hats stood by the roadside, each holding a bronze knife. They didn't move but just stood there, as if waiting for someone.
"What trouble? Brother Long, you're joking. Even if these two were robbers, they wouldn't dare rob us!"
Liu Bang also saw the two men and laughed dismissively.
"That's not a good sign!"
Long Lin smiled, his horse trembling slightly, and he could hear rapid breathing in the distance. All of this indicated that a large force was lying in ambush behind that small mound in the distance.
What convinced him even more was his ability to detect killing intent, honed over years of life-or-death experience.
A cart carrying farm tools approached the two men. Suddenly, one of them jumped to the roadside, shouting, "This road is mine, these trees are mine..."
But before he could finish speaking, Long Lin attacked. He yelled, "Damn it, kill this man!" He spurred his horse forward, spear in hand, and swung his iron rifle, smashing the man's bronze knife away and splitting his head open.
The man only had time to scream once before collapsing dead on the dusty road.
Seeing this, the other robber turned and ran, brandishing his bronze knife and shouting, "Three Wolves Head, this stuff's tough!"
Long Lin turned to look at the astonished Liu Bang, and smiled calmly, "Brother Liu, what did I say?"
"We've really run into this gang! I haven't even wiped them out yet, and they dare to come back! Brothers, grab your weapons!"
Liu Bang, now enraged, adopted his usual thuggish style, ordering his men to draw their bronze swords and iron spears. Chang Tianba, wielding a hundred-pound iron fork, stood beside Long Lin, protecting his horse with a fierce expression.
"Good disciple!"
Long Lin thought to himself, smiling at Chang Tianba.
At that moment, a cloud of yellow dust billowed from behind the mound, followed by a dense mass of about a hundred bandits. The leader, with a face as black as lacquer and a physique like a bear, wielded a bronze sword over ten feet long, riding a sturdy horse like a demon god.
"Liu Bang, we meet again... Hahaha!"
the man laughed wildly. He was none other than Sun Jin, the Third Wolf Head Tear-Bear Wolf of Wolf Head Ridge. Liu Bang had seen him last year when he led his troops to suppress bandits. In fact, although he had killed some bandits that time due to his superior numbers, he had still suffered a considerable loss when he encountered this vicious wolf.
Enemies meeting should be filled with hatred, but Liu Bang, seeing that it was Sun Jin, was already pale with fright and his legs were trembling. However, he couldn't lose face in front of the villagers, so he forced himself to shout, "Sun Jin, you bandit! If you surrender today, I, the village head, will spare your life. Otherwise, when the government troops march in and raze Wolf Head Ridge, you will surely die without a burial place!" Sun Jin, the "
Bear-Tearing Wolf," brandished his long sword and burst into laughter again. The bandits also laughed, clearly not taking Liu Bang's words to heart.
"Damn, this Bang is really a rogue! Doesn't he know the situation?"
The opponent in front of him was a hundred thugs, while he only had a dozen or so farmers. Their strength was not even in the same league. Asking them to beg for mercy was a joke. Long Lin secretly laughed at Liu Bang's ridiculous words, but since Liu Bang couldn't say anything harsh, he had no choice but to step in. After all, he wanted this greedy, lustful, and outwardly strong but inwardly weak Liu Bang to be emperor in the future!
Long Lin spurred his horse forward a few steps, blocking the middle of the road. His blood-stained black rifle was held upright, his eyes narrowed, radiating murderous intent. That murderous aura immediately startled the bandits opposite him, silencing their laughter.
Tear Bear Wolf sized up Long Lin and said, "Who are you? You killed someone just now, didn't you?"
"A true man doesn't change his name or surname. My surname is Ye, and my given name is Ye!"
Long Lin coldly laughed, secretly calculating that the enemy was powerful; he had to capture the leader first. No matter what, he had to kill Tear Bear Wolf first. He immediately held his gun in one hand, while the other secretly reached for his waist.
"Ye... Ye?"
Tear Bear Wolf, still on horseback, pronounced Long Lin's name word by word. Only after uttering it did he realize what he meant, and immediately flew into a rage: "Damn you! How dare you play me!"
He cursed, spurring his horse towards Long Lin, his bronze saber whistling through the air, aiming straight for Long Lin's face.
Bang...
Just as Tear Bear Wolf's blade reached Long Lin's horse, a muffled thud was heard. Tear-Bear Wolf's broadsword abruptly stopped in mid-air. His body paused on horseback for two seconds, a bloody hole the size of a finger appeared on his forehead, and he collapsed with an incredulous expression on his face.
Long Lin raised the large-caliber pistol of the Long family, blew on the dark muzzle, and coldly laughed, "You're your grandfather, so of course I should fuck your grandmother. You dare call me 'father' in front of me? You're unfilial and deserve to die!"
The bandits behind him were stunned, dumbfounded, seeing that Tear-Bear Wolf, the fiercest warrior of Wolf Head Ridge, had fallen without even a single exchange.
Liu Bang and the others hadn't expected Tear-Bear Wolf to be so easily defeated, and were at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Long Lin had already tucked the pistol into his coat and roared, "Damn it, what are you looking at? Kill!"
After shouting, he spurred his horse, grabbed his rifle, and charged into the bandit group, swinging his rifle and smashing it repeatedly on the heads of the bandits. Horses charged and spears clashed, breaking through the crowd in a single impact, leaving five or six corpses behind.
"Kill!"
Liu Bang and Chang Tianba reacted quickly, shouting and charging forward, followed by the villagers.
"Run!"
someone shouted from within the bandit group, throwing them into chaos as they scattered for their lives.
Long Lin, covered in blood, felt a long-lost sense of exhilaration. He immediately turned his horse around, specifically targeting the fastest-running bandits, smashing their heads open with each spear thrust.
Liu Bang, Chang Tianba, and the villagers, like wolves charging into a flock of sheep, slaughtered them, their faces covered in blood, eyes bloodshot.
"The faster you run, the sooner you die!"
Long Lin roared, his words like thunder, bringing the fleeing bandits back to their senses. Seeing Long Lin, Chang Tianba, Liu Bang, and the others, each a killing machine seemingly born from blood, they were terrified and dared not run any further.
"Lay down your weapons! Surrender and live, resist and die!"
Long Lin roared coldly again, swung his rifle butt and smashed it down. A bandit who had quietly crept behind him, preparing to stab a horse with his knife, screamed and fell backward, blood streaming from his seven orifices. He twitched a few times on the ground and then lay still.
The ruthlessness of Long Lin and his men terrified the bandits who had been so aggressive just moments before, and some began to lower their heads and throw down their weapons.
"Brother Liu, these prisoners are quite a feat, aren't they? Haha!"
Long Lin laughed loudly at Liu Bang. In his memory, the Qin Dynasty still had a part of the slave system, and these slaves could probably fetch a good price if sold.
Liu Bang then understood what Long Lin meant and laughed, "Brother, you are indeed an extraordinary man! This is certainly a great feat!" He then ordered the servants to take ropes from the cart and tie up the bandits.
With only ten men, they killed the infamous and feared bandit Sun Jin, slayed over forty mountain bandits, and captured fifty-six. The battle was truly exhilarating, and Liu Bang was beaming with joy.
Back at Liu Family Village, Liu Bang sent the prisoners directly to the Pei County government office, where they received a reward of one hundred strings of cash. He also granted special permission to send the prisoners to Liu Family Village as serfs.
Even Liu Taigong was overjoyed; his illness was almost completely cured, and he held a grand banquet to celebrate. Long Lin, of course, didn't care about any of this, as he was already planning to get cleaned up and have another round of battle with Liu Yu'er and Lü Zhi that night. So, during the banquet, he heavily ply Liu Bang's drinking, leaving him completely drunk and unconscious.
After the celebration, while everyone was drunk and asleep, Long Lin quietly sneaked into Liu Yu'er's room. At this moment, Lü Zhi and Liu Yu'er were already there, all clean and ready, eager to celebrate Long Lin's great achievement in their own way. And the specific way? Well, naturally… haha!
