Chapter 53 Snow Maiden and Fairy Maiden
Update Time: 5-23 17:10:51 Words: 3433

"Oh dear... Boss Zhao, why are you only arriving now? Little Cui has been missing you so much that she can't eat or drink, and is always spacing out! Especially her rosy cheeks, it's really heartbreaking. Even I, an old woman, can't help but want to touch them."
In the main hall of Chunhua Pavilion, every seat was taken. On the platform in the middle, six girls dressed in long-sleeved dance costumes stood tall with their chests out and hips up, their slender waists swaying. Their snow-white navels and the slender wrists protruding from their long sleeves firmly attracted the lewd, drunken eyes.
"I heard that two top courtesans have arrived at Chunhua Brothel. Not only are they as beautiful as fairies descended from heaven, but their skills are also unparalleled. Is that right?"
"You mean Xue Niang and Qi Xian? I only glanced at them that day, and I couldn't sleep afterward. I turned off the lights and had sex with my wife. My mind is filled with their images!"
"Shh..." A merchant with a small mustache lowered his voice and quietly pointed to two burly men in black standing by the entrance to the building. "I heard that the magistrate is here today too, in Xue Niang and Qi Xian's room."
"It's good to have power... I'd be willing to die if I could spend the night with those two beauties."
The man next to the merchant said.
"Ah... ah... sir, you're so strong. Does it feel good?"
The magistrate held Xue Niang's snow-white jade feet in his hands, cupped them to his lips, and nibbled on them little by little. Beneath him, Xue Qi's light veil was half-undone, and she was using her largest and softest thing to serve his smallest and hardest thing.
"Good... truly a beauty beyond compare!"
The magistrate of Dang County murmured, caressing the two fragrant feet. Each time a sharp, tingling sensation shot through his body, he couldn't help but lick his lips and roll his eyes.
"Where are you two beauties from?"
the magistrate asked, still enjoying the sensation.
"Replying to your question, sir, my sister and I are from Yangquan in the west,"
Qi Xian replied, her voice, uniquely alluring, as she lay on his lap.
"Yangquan... never heard of it. Hmm, why don't you come with me from now on? I guarantee you endless riches and glory,"
the magistrate said.
"Alright... thank you very much, sir. However, I'm afraid our mother won't agree."
Qi Xian winked at Xue Niang, a hint of amusement flashing in both their eyes. Xue Niang bent over, her jade-like hand gently stroking the magistrate's back.
"She dares not agree!"
The magistrate of Dang County shifted to a more comfortable position, his face full of disdain. "She just wants money!"
"Sir, you are so generous... We sisters thank you in advance!"
Xue Niang secretly pulled out the jade hairpin with one hand, speaking as she thrust it between the middle and index fingers of her left hand that were pressing down on the magistrate's back.
"Ah..."
The magistrate groaned in pleasure, then suddenly felt a cold wind penetrate his lower back and spread rapidly into his bones. A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he fainted.
"Sister... It's healed!"
Xue Niang gently pulled out the jade hairpin. The hairpin had been coated with the juice of the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit, and as the hairpin was pulled out, the wound healed immediately without leaving a trace.
"Hmm!"
Qi Xian nodded, and the two laid the magistrate's body flat on the bed and dressed themselves. Both were dressed in tight white clothes. Xue Niang jumped to the window and opened it.
"Let's go!"
Xue Niang said, jumping down first, her body leaping several feet forward in mid-air before landing steadily on the roof of a house. Qi Xian had already jumped over as well.
The two looked around, and seeing no one, jumped off the roof and ran quickly into a small alley.
In a house in the south of Dang County, Long Lin sat in the main room, staring blankly at the table of food and wine before him. Although he was quite confident in sending Xue Niang and Qi Xian on this mission, he was still somewhat worried, so he had followed them all the way and stayed in this house he had purchased in Dang County. Of course, he had already arranged with Xue Niang and Qi Xian to meet here once the mission was complete.
A gentle knock sounded at the door, and a henchman went to open it. Xue Niang and Qi Xian quickly entered, kneeling before Long Lin and saying, "Young Master, we have fulfilled our mission!"
"Good! Please sit down."
Long Lin felt relieved and invited them to sit at the table.
The henchman discreetly withdrew, leaving only Long Lin and the two women in the room. The wine cups were filled, and Long Lin raised his cup, saying, "Xue Niang, Qi Xian, this cup is for you, to celebrate your swift success and triumphant victory!"
Xue Niang and Qi Xian exchanged a glance and smiled gently, "This is all thanks to your guidance, young master..."
After a few cups of wine, the three of them were slightly tipsy.
"Young master... that magistrate of Dang County is truly useless, I never expected him to be such a useless fellow!"
Xue Niang said, her face slightly flushed. Qi
Xian also said, "Yes... we acted first, and that fat man didn't even touch us!"
She blinked her charming eyes, gazing at Long Lin with deep affection.
Long Lin laughed heartily and said, "That's right, you two must be feeling quite aroused too!"
Qi Xian moved closer to Long Lin, her fragrance intoxicating, which stirred Long Lin's desire as well.
"Good! You've rid the people of a scourge and successfully completed your mission, so I'll reward you handsomely!"
Long Lin laughed, downing his wine in one gulp. He pulled Qi Xian close, first kissing her fragrant lips, then his hands reached for her neckline.
"And me, young master..."
Xue Niang blushed and felt a surge of heat as she saw Long Lin embrace Qi Xian, speaking softly.
Long Lin turned to Xue Niang and said, "Alright, let's do it together!"
Xue Niang agreed, removing her simple clothes, revealing her perfect curves to Long Lin. A small, red birthmark, the size of a plum blossom, on the inner thigh captivated his gaze.
Vibrant as a flower, the words came to Long Lin's mind. He also had a similar red scar on his calf, left from a bullet wound during a battle in modern times.
Recalling that life-or-death battle, Long Lin inexplicably became excited, bursting into laughter. He wrapped his left arm around Qi Xian's waist and his right arm around Xue Niang, lifting them both at once and carrying them towards the bedroom.
Since cultivating the Power Scripture, Long Lin's physique had undergone a powerful transformation. Coupled with consuming the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit, which could cleanse his marrow and transform his bones, his body was now like forged steel, his blood and strength at their peak. Not to mention the two women weighing only two hundred pounds, he could now lift even a three-thousand-pound boulder with one hand.
Cultivating the Will Scripture and the Power Scripture simultaneously also allowed Long Lin to experience the benefits of powerful willpower. He could change his twelve zodiac forms at will, and the speed and duration of these changes were significantly extended wherever his willpower reached.
This experience was something he had never even imagined in his modern life. The almost terrifying effects after transforming surprised even himself. Furthermore, with the cultivation of the Intent Sutra, his senses became a hundred times more sensitive than usual. He could see at night to a distance of several dozen feet and hear the faintest sounds within thirty feet of himself. Moreover, he could sense things that ordinary people could not.
Even Long Lin himself could not explain that feeling. However, when he encountered the Azure Emperor, Bai Xiunü, Qingheisong Daoren, and Huolianxin, the surge of true energy within his body decreased, but he could still sense their location through his intimacy.
"Ah..."
Xue Niang cried out, unleashing all her passion for Long Lin. She had been a lowly henchman in Bai Ma Village, but since joining Huo Long Village, her status had drastically changed. Serving such a god-like man was something she had never dreamed of.
If Long Lin asked her to die now, she would do so without hesitation, for she had been completely conquered by him.
Qi Xian felt the same way. In her eyes, although she was an assassin in the Huo Long Village's Xiu Nu Tang (Hall of Beautiful Women), Long Lin actually treated them as his wives. Such kindness was higher than the sky and deeper than the sea for her.
"Young Master..."
Qi Xian said, her heart filled with intoxication, her red lips slightly parted, her passionate gaze fixed on Long Lin, ready to face his next challenge.
The ten female assassins of the Xiu Nu Tang each had their own strengths. Xue Niang and Qi Xian were skilled in using their beauty, and their agility and assassination techniques were extremely high. All of this was thanks to Long Lin's tutelage.
While training these assassins, Long Lin served two purposes: expanding his mercenary force and building up strength for Liu Bang's future conquests.
He knew that although Fire Dragon Stronghold currently had over four thousand men, they were a rabble, none truly willing to serve him and Liu Bang. Chang Tianba, Ying Tong, and their five hundred elite soldiers were the core of Fire Dragon Stronghold.
Before leaving Fire Dragon Stronghold, he had already arranged for Chang Tianba to go to Liu Family Village to retrieve forges and iron-casting technicians; he intended to establish his own armory there.
After the earthquake, although Fire Dragon Stronghold suffered heavy losses, a delightful surprise appeared. A small cave had appeared to the left of Fire Dragon Cave. Inside the cave was a pool of lava. This was the iron-casting source Long Lin had long dreamed of.
With this source, Long Lin was confident he could forge the Qin Empire's most formidable weapons and armor, making Liu Bang's army invincible.
Huo Lianxin didn't come out with Long Lin. Instead, she used her magic to send him out of the Fire Dragon Cave. She wanted to continue guarding the Demon King until the Azure Emperor's rebirth.
Of course, Huo Lianxin also taught him a secret cultivation method, which was only for women. However, by having intercourse with a woman who had cultivated this method, and combining it with Long Lin's own mental cultivation techniques, his strength could increase rapidly.
Long Lin naturally wouldn't waste this method; he used it in the training of the Ten Female Assassins. This was also the secret to how Long Lin's Ten Beauties could quickly become experts.
"Young Master... I can't take it anymore... um..."
At this moment, Xue Niang's beautiful eyes rolled back, her fragrant sweat soaking the sheets, and she was begging for mercy.
Long Lin smiled slightly, and after a series of urgent thrusts, he sent Xue Niang to the highest level of heaven before stopping and moving on to Qi Xian. Xue Niang's whole body went limp, motionless, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Young Master... don't be too rough!"
Qi Xian had already experienced three times the sensation of ascending to the immortal realm. This time, she murmured to Long Lin in submission, but before he could reply, she opened her small mouth and took his penis into her mouth, giving it a warm, fragrant bath.
"Alright..."
Long Lin pressed Qi Xian's head down, gently stroking her soft, long hair, and said. In this aspect, he was already able to control himself freely. If the two women didn't give in, he could make them die in ecstasy. Just as he was
enjoying himself immensely, Long Lin suddenly grabbed Qi Xian's hair, thinking to himself, "Something's not right!"
Qi Xian's hair was suddenly grabbed by Long Lin, her mouth still filled with that large object, her throat completely stuffed, unable to pull it out for a moment, and not knowing what was happening, her face immediately turned purplish-red.
A strange thought appeared in Long Lin's mind, pointing towards the east of Dang County. According to Long Lin's deduction, that was where the Spring Flower Pavilion was located.

Chapter 54 The County Magistrate's Corpse Demon
Update Time: 5-24 18:11:58 Words: 3541

"Everyone, run! A ghost!"
A waiter stumbled and tumbled down the stairs, his face covered in black mist. He screamed a few times before collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth and dying.
"Ah..."
Chaos erupted in the Chunhua Brothel. Countless women screamed, but most were stunned by the waiter's death.
The waiter was dead. His face was covered in black mist, so thick that his features were almost unrecognizable. His face and body began to decompose rapidly, a black liquid flowing from his body, emitting a pungent stench.
Suddenly, the legs of the rotting corpse twitched violently, and it jumped up, staggering towards the nearest person.
That person screamed, jolted awake, and turned to run.
"Zombie!"
someone shouted, and the stunned people in Chunhua Tower scattered like sheep struck by lightning. Several burly men, armed with knives, spears, and lances, rushed over, intercepted the murderous zombie, and pinned it to the ground.
"Quickly, fetch some excrement!"
someone shouted, and immediately someone went to fetch it. The stench of excrement was poured on the zombie, and its entire body immediately hissed and emitted a puff of gray smoke. A few minutes later, only a stiff skeleton remained.
"Damn it! How could there be a zombie?!"
a burly man rushed forward and kicked the skeleton hard, shattering it, cursing.
"Not good, sir!"
At this moment, one of the black-clad men who had helped subdue the zombie suddenly cried out. Several men in black reacted and hurriedly rushed upstairs with knives, spears, and lances.
They kicked open the door, and suddenly a dark figure flashed inside. It was the fat, middle-aged magistrate of Dang County. He turned around and grinned at the group, then smashed through the window and flew out in a puff of black smoke.
"Oh no! The lord has become a demon!"
a waiter shouted, but was immediately covered in the mouth by a burly man in black. They discussed the matter briefly, then went out to summon everyone present, strictly ordering them not to leak the information. They then collectively left the Chunhua Pavilion.
A while later, a strange order suddenly came from the Dang County government office. It said that a corpse demon had recently appeared
in the county town, and all skilled exorcists were requested to come and subdue it. Soon, exorcists arrived, and after some investigation, they discovered that the corpse demon had already fled to the nearby Dang Mountain. The Dang County magistrate hesitated. Should he go there?
The bandit group Fire Dragon Stronghold in Dang Mountain was extremely powerful; he might not find the corpse demon but instead be killed. Just as he was undecided, an exorcist bravely stepped forward, righteously arguing that the corpse demon was causing increasing harm and would become difficult to control.
The county magistrate had no choice but to agree, rewarding the soldiers who had gone with him handsomely while simultaneously sending a report to the prefectural government stating that the county magistrate had transformed into a corpse demon, though he had mistakenly described the magistrate's trip to the Chunhua Tower as handling an official case.
Meanwhile, five fast horses were galloping along the muddy mountain path leading deep into Dangshan.
Long Lin, along with Xue Niang, Qi Xian, and two henchmen, was rushing back to Dangshan.
Long Lin had already sensed the aura of the corpse demon heading towards the mountain. He couldn't pinpoint its exact location, but it was roughly in the deepest part of Dangshan.
However, the corpse demon was ferocious, and Long Lin needed to quickly notify his brothers in the Fire Dragon Stronghold to be on high alert.
"Tianba, Ying Tong, come with me!"
Long Lin instructed Liu Bang, leaving Xue Niang and Qi Xian to protect everyone in the Fire Dragon Cave. He then took Tianba and Ying Tong, who were preparing to return to Liu Family Village in Pei County, along with two thunderbolts and bayonets, and mounted three fast horses to search for the corpse demon in the deep mountains.
"Master, how did that corpse demon appear so strangely?"
Chang Tianba asked curiously after hearing Long Lin's account of discovering the corpse demon.
Long Lin shook his head. In truth, he didn't know either how a corpse demon could appear in Dangshan. However, Dangshan was vast and full of wonders, and such strange and supernatural events were hard to explain.
Nevertheless, he seemed to have some unusual feelings, because he felt inexplicably familiar with the aura of this corpse demon.
At the same time, a demon-hunting team consisting of three sorcerers and ten soldiers had also entered Dangshan. They had already been discovered by the Fire Dragon Village, but Liu Bang did not order anyone to disturb them. Instead, he reminded them to follow the direction Long Lin had run.
The sorcerers were also quite skilled, each possessing magical powers, and they had also detected that the corpse demon was deep within Dangshan.
After running eastward for more than ten miles from the Fire Dragon Village, the aura of the corpse demon suddenly appeared in Long Lin's mind. Long Lin roughly located its position and then ordered Chang Tianba and Ying Tong to prepare the Long Clan rifles, which he had already infused with his true energy.
"Long Lin, be careful..."
Having just finished speaking with Chang Tianba, Long Lin, riding his horse, suddenly froze, abruptly reining in his horse. Qing'er's voice echoed in his mind.
"What's wrong, Master..."
Ying Tong asked.
Long Lin shook his head, saying, "Nothing!"
He spurred his horse forward, but secretly wondered why Qing'er had appeared at this moment. He focused his mind intently, searching for the corpse demon while trying to hear Qing'er's voice again.
However, Qing'er's voice didn't appear along the way. Long Lin and the others had arrived at a valley.
Looking around, Long Lin's heart sank, because this was none other than the place where he and Bai Xiu had fought Black Pine and Green Pine that day.
"Master, look over there!"
Ying Tong, with the best eyesight, pointed to a small hilltop in the distance and said to Long Lin.
Long Lin followed Ying Tong's finger and saw a strange, ancient black tree growing on the hilltop, shrouded in black mist, looking extremely eerie.
"Damn it, it's him!"
Long Lin spat and said to Chang Tianba and Ying Tong, "It's that Green Pine Demon! I didn't expect him to be alive again!"
"Let's kill him!"
Chang Tianba brandished his Heaven-Piercing Spear and said to Long Lin.
Long Lin pondered for a moment, then glanced at the black tree shrouded in black mist, shook his head, and said, "Wait. I initially thought it was a corpse demon, but it's clearly not. I wonder what kind of evil magic this Green Pine Demon has practiced to be able to come back to life! Let's not move yet, let's observe here first!"
It was still early, so Long Lin, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong rested where they were. Long Lin concentrated his mind, silently circulating the two mantras of intention and power, and a faint crimson true light appeared all over his body.
He had now mastered the two mantras of intention and power quite well, and his mind guided his true energy like a rushing river, quite smoothly. Of course, Chang Tianba and Ying Tong couldn't see it, but when he practiced, a five-colored light would emit from the top of his head, shooting straight into the sky. This was the five-colored dragon energy that Lü Zhi had mentioned.
“Long Lin, your current strength is not enough to deal with that Green Pine Demon.”
Long Lin sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to practice, and a faint green-blue figure appeared in his mind. The figure was graceful and appeared to be a woman.
“Qing’er, is that you? Why don’t you show yourself?”
Long Lin asked with his mind. He had always thought that Qing’er was an extremely mysterious person, but he had never seen her.
“I am currently using Yin Spirit to leave my body. Your strength is not enough, so naturally you can’t see me! However, now that you have finally cultivated the Mind and Strength Scriptures, and consumed the spiritual fruit, and undergone the marrow cleansing of the Green Wood Cauldron, your strength has improved a lot. You should be able to see my shadow now!”
Qing’er said softly.
Long Lin nodded and said, “Yin Spirit leaving my body, where are you? The Azure Emperor entrusted me to give you the Green Wood Token…”
“I understand. You should keep the Green Wood Token with you! I will need your help in the future.”
Qing’er said.
"So, do you know about Bai Xiunü, Tengjiazhuang, and Lianxin's affairs since I came to Dangshan? What exactly happened?"
Long Lin asked anxiously.
Qing'er chuckled and said, "Of course I know. It's all fate. Although I know, I can only offer some guidance. It's your own profound destiny that allows you to shoulder these responsibilities. My father was right about you!"
Long Lin seemed to understand something. It turned out that Qing'er hadn't orchestrated all of this. However, the many strange things that happened made Long Lin extremely curious about Qing'er and the others.
Perhaps sensing Long Lin's thoughts, Qing'er smiled again and said, "Long Lin, don't be confused yet. You'll soon know the truth! Didn't my father tell you this? You're just a little unaccustomed to it."
Long Lin then remembered what the Azure Emperor had told him: beyond the mortal realm, there was a mysterious force controlling the changes of dynasties and the rise and fall of various places.
"Then how do we deal with this Green Pine Demon?"
Long Lin asked.
Qing'er pondered for a moment, then said, "In a little while, sorcerers from Dang County will come to capture the Corpse Demon. You just need to cooperate with them. Although your current strength isn't enough to subdue the Green Pine Daoist, your blood and energy are strong enough that even the Green Pine Daoist can't do anything to you."
"Sorcerers?"
Long Lin asked, puzzled.
"Yes, one of the young sorcerers, surnamed Shangguan, will be in trouble soon. You just need to help him when the time comes. It will be a great opportunity for you in the future, remember that!"
Qing'er added.
Long Lin nodded, "I understand, but when will I be able to see you? Who is Lady Baiyu? And Lady Cangyu..."
Qing'er sighed slightly, seemingly with a bitter smile, "You'll understand everything in time. As for seeing me, I believe it will be soon!"
Long Lin agreed and was about to speak again when Qing'er suddenly said, "They're here. Remember what I said."
After she finished speaking, the green shadow gradually disappeared from Long Lin's mind.
Long Lin opened his eyes and heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats in the distance. He stood up and sighed slightly.
He wasn't thinking about how to deal with the immediate situation, but rather about Qing'er's mystery. For over twenty years, aside from his apprenticeship from childhood, joining the Devil's Training Camp, and participating in mercenary groups, especially after becoming the leader of the Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group, Long Lin had always believed that his life was in his own hands, and that everything he did was based on his own ideas. But now, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, because he felt that this mysterious thing seemed too mystical, too mystical to the extent that he couldn't imagine.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. His arrival in this chaotic Qin Dynasty was already incredibly mysterious, and it seemed that the Five Emperors Bell must also hold unknown secrets. If he wanted to return to the modern world, he had to obtain the Five Emperors Bell. And now, he needed to understand more deeply this mysterious power that transcended the fate of the nation and the country.
A sorcerer? Is it cultivation or Buddhahood? Long Lin suddenly chuckled, but in his feeling, he wasn't on that path.
"Master... someone's coming!"
Chang Tianba and Ying Tong, who were patrolling around, turned around and said to Long Lin.
Long Lin nodded and said, "I already know! Look over there!"
The direction Long Lin pointed was at the bend in the valley. Just then, a red horse turned the corner and galloped towards them, followed by the sound of hooves, and it seemed there were a dozen or so people behind it.
On the lead red horse sat a young man named Fang Ke, no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He wore a dark blue Taoist robe with silver trim, a square cap on his head, and a long sword with a red tassel on his back. His face was like jade, his features clear and bright. Although he had traveled a long way, he was neither red-faced nor out of breath, suggesting he possessed martial arts skills.

Chapter 55 Fighting the Corpse Demon
Update Time: 5-26 18:14:01 Words: 3432

Shangguan Shuyuan saw Long Lin and the other two, dismounted, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Brothers, this humble Taoist Shangguan Shuyuan greets you!"
Long Lin smiled slightly and stepped forward to reply, "Taoist Master, there's no need for such formalities. Long Lin has been waiting here for you!"
Shangguan Shuyuan was slightly taken aback and carefully examined Long Lin. "Could this brother be Long Lin, the second-in-command of the Fire Dragon Village in Dangshan?"
Long Lin nodded slightly. At this moment, Shangguan Shuyuan glanced at Chang Tianba and Ying Tong and said, "These two must be Chang Tianba, the One Who Breaks the Sky with One Spear, and Ying Tong, the One Hundred-Foot Soul Chaser?"
Because the portraits and images of Long Lin and the others had already spread like wildfire in Dang County, and Shangguan Shuyuan was a discerning person, he recognized them at a glance.
"Indeed!"
Chang Tianba and Ying Tong exchanged a glance and smiled. They genuinely didn't know when they had acquired the nicknames "Heaven-Piercing Shot" and "Hundred-Foot Soul Chaser," but the nicknames were indeed fitting.
At this moment, the dozen or so people behind them caught up. Seeing Shangguan Shuyuan talking with Long Lin and the others, they all dismounted. Long Lin and the others didn't need introductions; they already knew them. They also learned that besides Shangguan Shuyuan, the other person was an elderly Taoist priest in tattered clothes with a sleazy face named Gongsun Xiang, a reclusive alchemist from Dang Mountain. A burly, dark-faced man dressed as a boxer was named Shen Tu Yun, a renowned chivalrous figure in Dang County, who usually escorted goods for merchants and was known for his integrity and enthusiasm. The remaining ten were all strong Qin soldiers, sent by the Dang County government to protect the three.
"Master Long, I, Shangguan Shuyuan, have long admired the Fire Dragon Stronghold, but the opportunity has not yet presented itself. I have come to Dangshan this time to deal with a corpse demon that is harming people in Dang County. I will leave after eliminating the demon, and I would be grateful if you could grant me this favor!"
Many of the Qin soldiers had fought against the Fire Dragon Stronghold, and the atmosphere between them was tense as enemies met. Shangguan Shuyuan laughed at this moment.
Long Lin laughed and said, "Daoist Shangguan, you flatter me. In fact, we have also come here today for this demon. As the saying goes, no fight makes friends, and those who share the same enemy are comrades. Now we should put aside our past grievances and work together to eliminate this harmful demon!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the ten Qin soldiers, and his cold gaze made them involuntarily lower their heads and take a step back.
Shangguan Shuyuan immediately laughed, "Chief Long is indeed a hero of Dangshan! He understands righteousness! Good! Today we will join forces to fight and annihilate this corpse demon!"
At this moment, the alchemist Gongsun Xiang interjected, "Please listen to what I have to say. Once we subdue the corpse demon, could we leave one alive for me to use in crafting magical artifacts?"
Long Lin did not know that the corpse demon could be used to craft magical artifacts, so he remained silent. Shangguan Shuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, once we capture his demonic soul, we can let you decide what to do with it!"
At this moment, a sharp roar suddenly came from the distant mountaintop: "Ignorant fools, you're already discussing how to deal with me before we've even fought! You're all too arrogant!"
Everyone was startled and looked up at the mountaintop. They saw that the black mist surrounding the withered pine tree had somehow condensed into a ball, and a person was vaguely standing on it. Judging from the figure and appearance, it was the newly appointed magistrate of Dang County who had been murdered.
"Corpse Demon! Everyone be careful!"
Shangguan Shuyuan shouted coldly, clasped his hands together, and silently chanted. The long sword on his back suddenly flew up with a gleaming sound, circled above his head, and shot straight towards the corpse demon.
The others didn't see the sword clearly, but Long Lin did—it was actually a peach wood sword. However, when it was drawn, it made a metallic clanging sound, no different from a sharp blade. He was secretly amazed; could this be a so-called magical artifact?
At this moment, the alchemist Gongsun Xiang also took out a blue gourd from his satchel, chanted a few times, and then floated up, slowly flying towards the opposite mountain peak.
Shen Tu Yun and Long Lin didn't possess such wondrous magical artifacts. Long Lin shouted, and the group spurred their horses towards the mountaintop. Shangguan Shuyuan and Gongsun Xiang also mounted their horses, directing the magical artifacts as they followed Long Lin and the others.
As the group galloped to the foot of the small hill, Shangguan Shuyuan's peach wood flying sword and Gongsun Xiang's green gourd had already reached the sky above the withered tree, launching an attack on the corpse demon resembling the magistrate of Dang County.
The sword flashed, darting and stabbing, drawing several bright arcs in the air, while the green gourd spewed forth streams of sulfurous flames, burning the corpse demon.
"This inferior magical weapon dares to offend me?"
the corpse demon roared, suddenly spitting out a bright green bead. With a deafening boom, a burst of extremely bright azure light shot out, first deflecting the peach wood sword's thrust, then meeting the flames of the green gourd.
The peach wood sword failed to pierce the gourd, flying backward. The flames, however, were enveloped by the azure light, vanishing without a trace in a breath, the azure light then enveloping the green gourd.
"What a powerful corpse demon! What is your origin?"
Shangguan Shuyuan frowned slightly, shouting fiercely. At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on the alchemist's forehead, and he silently chanted, seemingly struggling.
Long Lin, Ying Tong, and Chang Tianba exchanged glances, nodded, and each took out their rifle bayonets, aiming at the withered tree.
"Master Shangguan, this monster is no ordinary corpse demon, but a monster transformed from that withered tree!" Long Lin said calmly.
"Ah?"
Shangguan Shuyuan was slightly surprised, "It's actually a demon seizing a corpse!" He hurriedly said to the alchemist Gongsun Xiang, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, your magic weapon is no match for it, retreat quickly!"
Gongsun Xiang was already covered in sweat and said urgently, "No, my magic weapon has been sucked in!"
"Fire!"
Long Lin shouted sharply, and the three rifles fired simultaneously. Three bursts of bullets flashing with crimson light accurately hit the withered tree. The corpse demon let out a strange howl, the orb in mid-air trembled, and the green light released the green gourd, suddenly turning towards the group!
"Be careful!"
Shangguan Shuyuan said coldly when he saw the fierce green light coming. With a swift movement of his left hand, he retrieved a bright yellow paper talisman from his pouch, tossed it into the air, and with his right hand, forming a knife-like gesture, pointed at the talisman, shouting, "Chih!"
The talisman burst into flames in mid-air, a burst of golden light erupting from the fire, simultaneously revealing five eight-foot-tall golden-armored warriors wielding swords and halberds.
"Five Thunder Generals, break!"
Shangguan Shuyuan exclaimed, and the five golden-armored warriors roared as they charged towards the blue light.
At this moment, his peach wood sword had also flown back. He caught it in his hand, pointed it forward, and a beam of white light shot out from the sword, piercing through the blue light and striking the corpse demon in the black clouds.
Suddenly, a group of ferocious-looking zombie shadows surged from the blue light, engaging the five golden-armored warriors in mid-air.
"Hmph!"
The corpse demon in the black clouds, seeing the peach wood sword's light approaching, remained unfazed, gently deflecting the white light with a blue orb, rendering it invisible.
The blue light split into more than ten beams in mid-air, shooting towards the crowd.
Gongsun Xiang, still holding his cyan gourd, was struck by the cyan light. He shouted and pulled out a small bronze cauldron, tossing it into the air to block the light. However, his cyan gourd plummeted like a kite with a broken string, exploding into pieces just before reaching the ground.
Long Lin, seeing the cyan light approaching, sneered. He channeled his inner energy, unleashing a surge of blood and qi. A burst of crimson true qi shot from his palm, splitting into three streams, blocking the cyan light aimed at him, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong.
However, none of the Qin soldiers shielded them. More than ten cyan lights flashed, and screams erupted from the Qin soldiers. Seven were instantly struck by the light, their bodies exploding and dying.
The remaining three, swords in hand, their eyes bulging and blood flowing, were not dead, but swaying precariously, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Just as the azure light reached Shen Tu Yun, Shen Tu suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his giant sword. He then slashed down with it, and the azure light screamed as it was cleaved to the ground, becoming a thick, azure branch.
"Kill!"
Shen Tu Yun roared, wielding his still-bloodied giant sword, and charged towards the mountaintop.
"Master, we!"
Chang Tianba said to Long Lin.
Long Lin waved his hand, signaling him not to act rashly. His eyes, however, were fixed on Shangguan Shuyuan, who was still on horseback fighting the corpse demon.
Shangguan Shuyuan had already unleashed several talismans, one of which was not ordinary yellow, but a ghostly green. The green talisman transformed into a giant golden ruler in mid-air, soaring towards the mountaintop and striking the corpse demon in the dark clouds.
The corpse demon seemed quite wary of the giant golden ruler, no longer daring to meet it with its cyan bead. Instead, it stirred up a black wind in mid-air, within which countless blood-soaked demons writhed and
brandished their claws. The giant golden ruler hummed and vibrated, and the countless wails of ghosts in the black wind were instantly dispersed by the golden light of the ruler. However, in that instant, the corpse demon also vanished without a trace.
The giant golden ruler, having shattered the black wind, had no target and crashed to the ground with a thud, instantly creating a huge crater on the mountaintop.
At this moment, the five golden-armored generals had also killed all the zombies in the cyan light, and their golden light dissipated and they disappeared without a trace. The once bustling arena of combat instantly became quiet.
"Not good! Be careful..."
In Long Lin's mind, a black shadow flashed not far behind him. He shouted sharply and turned around, pulling the trigger. With a muffled thud, a Qin soldier who had just opened his mouth to pounce on another Qin soldier was shot and fell limply to the ground.
The corpse demon remained elusive, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
"Golden Light God, born from the rice, protect me!"
the alchemist Gongsun Xiang cried out, scattering a handful of golden rice around him. A wisp of smoke rose from the edge of the falling rice with a hiss, then vanished without a trace.
Immediately, the remaining people felt a sense of unease.
Chang Tianba and Ying Tong had already gathered around Long Lin, each holding a rifle, cautiously scanning their surroundings.
Shen Tu Yun also stopped halfway up the mountain, crouching low, a giant sword protecting his body.
The two remaining Qin soldiers, their faces filled with shock, stood back to back. They were seasoned warriors, though lacking experience in dealing with such strange occurrences, their vigorous spirits kept them from collapsing.
"Clear Spirit Heavenly Eye…Activate!"
Shangguan Shuyuan bit his middle finger, smeared the blood on his forehead, and said, then scanned his surroundings.
A black shadow flashed in Long Lin's mind, lunging at Shangguan Shuyuan from behind. He abruptly raised his spear, only to see Shangguan Shuyuan seemingly already seeing the corpse demon, thrusting his peach wood sword straight forward!
However, a new black shadow suddenly appeared in Long Lin's mind—the very aura of the corpse demon—approaching Shangguan Shuyuan from the side!
Shangguan Shuyuan used his Clear Spirit Heavenly Eye to see the corpse demon's shadow, thrusting his sword forward. He immediately felt the sword tip stiffen, a whistling sound rang out, and half a withered branch fell to the ground. Just as he was feeling joy, he suddenly felt a chilling wind approaching from his side. Turning his head sharply, he saw the corpse demon grinning as it lunged at him, but by then it was too late to dodge.
"It's over!"
A chill ran through Shangguan Shuyuan's heart. He knew best how powerful this corpse demon was; once it pounced on him, even the strongest magic would be useless, and he would instead be infected by the corpse demon's aura.

Chapter 56 Slaying Demons and Collecting Treasures
Update Time: 5-26 18:12:13 Words: 3425

"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, the corpse demon suddenly screamed, its entire body struck by a red light, and it exploded into nothingness.
Shangguan Shuyuan turned around and saw that Long Lin's gun was pointed at his side, still slowly emitting gray smoke.
"Thank you for saving me, Master Long!"
Shangguan Shuyuan said with a fist and a fist.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan is too kind..."
Long Lin smiled slightly, but before his smile faded, he suddenly saw the corpse demon in mid-air strike down, its sharp claws grabbing at the head of the alchemist Gongsun Xiang. Gongsun Xiang, relying on the protection of the Golden Rice God, was calmly watching the situation.
"Gongsun..."
Shangguan Shuyuan had clearly also discovered the corpse demon's presence and cried out urgently, but it was too late. Gongsun Xiang screamed as the corpse demon ripped open his skull, its black shadow already burrowing into his body.
Gongsun Xiang's head split open, red blood and white brain matter streaming down his face, but his body went berserk, and he violently pounced off his horse, knocking down two unsuspecting Qin soldiers. One claw each, two cracking sounds, and the two Qin soldiers were instantly killed before they could even resist.
"Tianba, Yingtong!"
Long Lin shouted sharply, his gun barrel snapping towards Gongsun Xiang, who was now pierced by the corpse demon, and fired three shots in quick succession.
Chang Tianba and Yingtong also fired simultaneously, instantly causing Gongsun Xiang's body to explode, a black aura oozing from his wounds, before he was sliced in two by Shangguan Shuyuan's flying sword.
"Brother Tu Yun... hurry and cut down that demonic tree!"
Shangguan Shuyuan suddenly turned around and shouted to Shen Tu Yun, who was standing frozen halfway up the mountain. Shen
Tu Yun gritted his teeth, agreed, and ran towards the withered tree. Long Lin, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong exchanged a glance and also rode their horses up the mountain.
"Brother Shen... step back!"
Long Lin shouted, as he rode his horse while already lighting a thunderbolt.
Shen Tu Yun slowed down, and seeing Long Lin approaching, he simply stopped. Long Lin threw out a thunderbolt, and Chang Tianba and Ying Tong also lit their own thunderbolts and threw them at the withered tree.
"Boom... boom... boom..."
Three loud explosions, dust flying, interspersed with shrill screams, the withered tree was blown to pieces, branches flying everywhere.
"Long Lin... it's you again, I will definitely not let you off!"
A ball of black energy the size of a head flew out from the broken tree, transforming in mid-air into the face of Qing Song Dao Ren, and said to Long Lin.
Just as Long Lin was about to raise his gun to fire, Shangguan Shuyuan said, "Brother Long, let me handle this!"
Shangguan Shuyuan had already tossed a delicate brocade pouch the size of a palm into the air. The talismans on it shimmered with golden light. With his muttered incantation, the pouch opened automatically, bursting forth with a burst of golden light.
The black aura of Qingsong Daoist was greatly alarmed and tried to escape, but was already enveloped by the golden light. Unable to break free from its grasp, he was pulled into the pouch.
The black aura was sucked in, the pouch automatically closed, and flew back to land in Shangguan Shuyuan's hand.
"Finally, we've subdued this demon! If it weren't for Brother Long's presence, things might have turned out very differently!"
Shangguan Shuyuan carefully put away the brocade pouch, finally letting out a long sigh of relief. He glanced at the mess around him and sighed again.
Seeing that the demon Qingsong had been subdued, Long Lin also felt relieved. He thought to himself that he had avenged Bai Xiunü and rid Danghai of a great scourge. He immediately said, "Slaying demons and eliminating evil is truly a great achievement for Daoist Shangguan. As for us, we are already honored to have assisted from the sidelines. How dare we take credit?"
Shen Tu Yun, full of youthful vigor, laughed heartily, "Indeed, I thought I was young and vigorous and unafraid of ghosts, gods, demons, and monsters. This time, I've truly broadened my horizons! If it were me, I would have inevitably fallen for this corpse demon's trick!"
Everyone understood that if it weren't for Long Lin's presence, none of them would have made it back. However, Long Lin also secretly understood why his Strength Sutra could withstand and even defeat demonic magic and ghosts. From Shen Tu Yun, he understood the simplest reason: vigorous blood and energy make it difficult for ghosts and gods to approach.
The Strength Sutra was undoubtedly the best method for strengthening the body and enhancing blood and energy. He then thought of the Will Sutra, which focused on condensing the soul and strengthening willpower. If one could cultivate it to the level of Bai Xiunü, one could possess magical power and communicate with ghosts and gods. Combining these two methods, wouldn't it be the best cultivation method?
Of course, this was just his own understanding; he would need to see Qing'er to determine its accuracy.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they were all in high spirits after the successful battle. They gathered up the corpses and the withered tree branches, and Shangguan Shuyuan offered a talisman and prayers before burning them.
On the body of the deceased alchemist Gongsun Xiang, they found an exquisite small cauldron and an alchemy recipe. Shangguan Shuyuan disdained to use these items and gave them directly to Long Lin to show his gratitude for Long Lin's rescue.
Seeing the exquisite small cauldron, seemingly identical to the Azure Emperor Cauldron, and having personally witnessed Gongsun Xiang use it to fight enemies, Long Lin gladly accepted it. As it was getting late, and without even having a chance to peruse the alchemy formula, he returned with the others.
"Brother Long, I see your extraordinary bone structure, befitting a cultivator. Why not abandon martial arts and cultivate the Dao?"
Shangguan Shuyuan suddenly said on the way back.
Long Lin laughed heartily, saying, "Daoist Shangguan, what are you saying? I, Long Lin, am but a commoner; how could I cultivate and ascend to immortality like you? Besides, I live a life of constant danger, with no time for quiet cultivation! Daoist, please don't bring this up again."
Seeing Long Lin's immediate refusal, Shangguan Shuyuan was puzzled. Many people had saved him and guided him on the path to immortality, yet he seemed indifferent. However, he was unaware of the affair between Long Lin, the Azure Emperor, and Qing'er, and assumed he had misjudged him. He smiled slightly and took out a small brocade pouch from his robes, saying, "Since..." "Brother Long, if you are unwilling to embark on this path, I cannot force you. However, I see that you
have many miscellaneous items around you, which are inconvenient to carry. So, I'll give you this bag." Long Lin saw that the bag was only half the size of a palm, like a sachet worn by young women, and laughed, "What is this bag for?"
Shangguan Shuyuan laughed and said, "This item is called the Empty Wish Bag. It is a magical artifact crafted by our sect. Don't be fooled by its small size of only three inches; it can hold a massive object three zhang in length and width. Even if you put all your weapons and miscellaneous items inside, it would only take up one-tenth of the bag's capacity."
"Oh? That's amazing?"
Long Lin immediately became interested. He had only heard of such things in legends and had never actually seen one in reality.
"Of course, and this bag has the ability to recognize its owner. It cannot be stolen, and no one can open it without the incantation. Even if it is lost a hundred miles away, it can fly back to its owner by reciting the incantation."
Shangguan Shuyuan said, his expression quite proud.
"Such a treasure is far too precious; how could I possibly accept it from Daoist Shangguan!"
Long Lin declined.
"Brother Long, what are you saying? If I hadn't intervened in time to disperse that demonic corpse's clone, I would probably have been reduced to ashes. This little trinket was just something I casually crafted; it's hardly a treasure. Please don't refuse, Brother Long,"
Shangguan Shuyuan said.
Long Lin remembered Qing'er's words, telling him to befriend Shangguan Shuyuan, as there was a great opportunity between them, so he no longer refused. He accepted the brocade pouch and then inquired about its usage.
It turned out that the Empty Ruyi Pouch hadn't been bound to a master when it was crafted, which was why it could be given away. Simply smear a drop of the owner's blood from their tongue on the pouch's opening to complete the binding process.
As for the incantations for opening and searching, those were left to the owner to create as they pleased.
Long Lin immediately bit his tongue, binding the Empty Ruyi Pouch to his master, and silently composed the incantation in his mind. He silently recited the incantation, and sure enough, the small cauldron, the alchemy formula, the rifle, the Long family's first-generation pistol, and the dagger all automatically disappeared into the bag. He then recited the incantation again, and whichever item he thought of appeared automatically in his hand—extremely convenient.
Long Lin examined the Ruyi Bag; although it contained so many things, it was less than a tenth of its capacity, just as Shangguan Shuyuan had said. Moreover, it had another wonderful feature: despite containing so many things, its weight remained the same, as light as if it were nothing.
Just as he was praising it, he heard Shangguan Shuyuan say, "Brother Long, this empty bag is indeed wondrous, but it cannot hold living things, otherwise they will surely die! Brother Long, please remember this."
Long Lin was thinking of stuffing his horse into the bag as well, and upon hearing Shangguan Shuyuan's words, he immediately laughed heartily and nodded, dismissing that strange idea.
If he could also stuff his horse in, wouldn't that be even better? That would mean he could ride a horse anytime, anywhere.
"Daoist Shangguan, do you have any bags that can hold living things?"
Long Lin asked.
Shangguan Shuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but Brother Long has not yet cultivated the Dao and lacks the Daoist arts, so the Spirit Bird Bag cannot be used!"
Long Lin had no choice but to give up, and couldn't help but think of the dragon horse. He thought of the dragon horse, which could transform at will and was extremely fast, making it an excellent mount. However, he also knew that the dragon horse was the true form of Bai Xiu Nu, who was harmed by the Dang Demon while saving Lian Xin and himself, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Long Lin invited Shangguan Shuyuan and Shen Tu Yun to stay at Fire Dragon Village for the night, and hosted a good feast that night. Shangguan Shuyuan and Shen Tu Yun were also impressed by Liu Bang and Long Lin's chivalrous spirit.
The next day, Shangguan Shuyuan and Shen Tu Yun returned to the Dang County government office to report, and Shangguan Shuyuan also strongly recommended that Long Lin, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong go with them.
Originally, Liu Bang was worried that the Dang County government office would be hostile to Long Lin, after all, Long Lin and his group were bandits, and Dang County had issued a warrant for their arrest. Shangguan Shuyuan swore to protect Longlin's safety, and Liu Bang finally agreed.
At the Dang County government office, the newly arrived magistrate had already taken office and was extremely respectful to Shangguan Shuyuan. He was overjoyed upon hearing Shangguan Shuyuan's account of subduing the corpse demon and immediately prepared a banquet to reward Longlin and his men.
Moreover, unlike his predecessor, this new magistrate did not harbor deep hatred for the mountain bandits and wanted to eliminate them. Instead, he was very polite to Longlin and his men, remembering their merit in subduing the demon, and immediately pardoned them from the death penalty, issuing a decree to lift the warrant for their arrest. He also promised that as long as the heroes of Dang Mountain refrained from indiscriminately killing innocent people and harming the populace, he would turn a blind eye to their robberies.
Long Lin found the new magistrate's face extremely familiar, but couldn't quite place where he'd seen him before. It wasn't until the magistrate raised his cup in a toast that he suddenly remembered: it was Guan Youzheng, the Dang County Beauty Selection Commissioner, whom he'd met once years ago at the Chunhua Pavilion while escorting convicts to Dang County with Liu Bang and others.
After several rounds of drinks, Guan Youzheng was already somewhat drunk and brought up the matter of selecting beauties, revealing that the Southern Beauty Selection Commissioner had already returned to Xianyang with a hundred beauties and would be passing through Dang County in three days.
Long Lin noticed that Guan Youzheng was stout and his speech was evasive, clearly a lecherous man. Seeing that he deliberately mentioned the beauty selection, he couldn't help but wonder if this man's goodwill towards them was for some ulterior motive.
After the banquet, Shangguan Shuyuan and the others took their leave, while Long Lin, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong rode back to Fire Dragon Village with the reward money.
Just a short distance away from Dang County, on a remote mountain road, a man claiming to be a confidant of Magistrate Guan suddenly rode up at full speed and handed Long Lin a letter sealed with wax.
"That Guan Youzheng, he really is no good!"
After sending the messenger back, Long Lin weighed the letter in his hand and smiled at Chang Tianba and Ying Tong.

Chapter 57 The Robbery Plan
Update Time: 5-27 9:54:32 Words: 3330

"Rob the Cai Mei team?"
Liu Bang jumped up.
Long Lin put down the letter sealed with wax and nodded, "Hmm, I was just thinking that Guan Youzheng couldn't be any good, and I was right!"
"Hehe..."
Liu Bang stroked his chin, looking at the pine charcoal brazier burning brightly in the corner of the Fire Dragon Cave with a wicked smile, "This is quite an interesting matter, stealing the emperor's women! But what benefits can we get?"
Long Lin pondered for a moment and said, "This Magistrate Guan promised us three thousand taels of silver, plus five beauties, this deal is a bit unprofitable!"
"I wonder what Magistrate Guan wants so many beauties for?"
Liu Bang asked again.
"He can't be thinking of opening a brothel, can he?"
Eagle Eye blinked and said from the side.
Long Lin smiled slightly, "That's hard to say. That kid Guan Youzheng is wicked, he's been eyeing these beauties for a long time."
As he spoke, he recounted the story of Guan Youzheng being the beauty envoy they met at the restaurant years ago.
"Fourth brother, do you think this is worth doing?"
Liu Bang asked.
Long Lin thought for a moment and said, "I think we can plan this. First, although these women are nominally the emperor's women, the emperor has three thousand concubines, and these women would be in dire straits once they enter the palace. Rescuing them would be a righteous act. Second, regardless of Guan Youzheng's intentions, daring to take such a huge risk to abduct the Cai Mei team, he must be profiting greatly. If we can find his profit channels..."
"Good! Let's do it this way. Send the order to assemble the troops, and we'll make the arrangements right away!"
Liu Bang said.
"Yes, sir!"
In the Dang County government office, a Qin soldier leader nodded and said, "I will immediately return to report to the prefecture and assemble the army. We must wipe out this bandit group!"
Guan Youzheng sat in his armchair, sipped his Biluochun tea, and chuckled.
His plan was perfect; in two days, he would have top-quality beauties. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He thought about the newly appointed county magistrate's concubine, who was quite attractive, and wondered if he could flirt with her.
Thinking of this, he lazily got up, took two constables and ten taels of silver, and headed towards the back street of the county government office.
The magistrate's concubine, surnamed Mi and named Fang'er, was quite beautiful. Since the magistrate had turned into a corpse demon and died, she had moved out of the county government office and lived alone with two maids.
"Madam, I have come to visit you!"
Guan Youzheng entered with gifts and smiled.
"I dare not trouble you, sir. Please sit down!"
Mi Fang'er was dressed in plain clothes, the thin garments unable to conceal her curvaceous figure. Her almond-shaped eyes were as delicate and charming as a pool of clear water. Upon seeing Guan Youzheng, she hurriedly half-knelt down to greet him.
"Madam, there is no need for such a grand ceremony. Please rise!"
Two constables stood outside, guarding the doorway. Guan Youzheng, with his plump body, stepped forward and helped Mi Fang'er up. His small eyes glanced at Mi Fang'er's breasts, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled. His hand, however, gently pinched her tender, jade-like arm.
Mi Fang'er's face immediately flushed red, and she instructed the maid to serve tea to Guan Youzheng.
The fragrant tea was served, and the two maids stepped aside. Guan Youzheng glanced around the room and sighed, "Alas! I never imagined that the former Lord Pan would suffer such a tragedy, and now even you, Madam, are in such dire straits. Look at this room, it's practically bare, even these two pieces of furniture are old and worn. It's truly my dereliction of duty!"
"My lord..."
Mi Fang'er's eyes reddened, on the verge of tears.
"Madam, don't worry. It's not that I want to bring up such painful memories, but the sight of this place has stirred my emotions. Hmm, how about this, I'll send someone to deliver a new house tomorrow, and I also have ten taels of silver here, Madam, please use it first."
"I am already deeply grateful for your visit, my lord, how could I dare trouble you with such financial assistance!"
Mi Fang'er quickly bowed again to express her gratitude.
Guan Youzheng helped her up again, and, intentionally or unintentionally, pinched her arm once more.
Mi Fang'er already understood his meaning. She immediately stood up and said to the two maids, "Lord Guan is coming to my humble abode today. Please prepare a table of wine and dishes. I want to have a few drinks with him."
The two maids agreed and went out.
"Where is your ancestral home, Madam? Do you have any relatives in Dang County?"
Guan Youzheng stood up and paced back and forth, asking with a half-smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord. I was born in Nanjun and live alone in Dang County. I have no old acquaintances and am just barely making ends meet with the small inheritance left by my ex-husband..."
Mi Fang'er said, her face lowered.
"Hmm, I couldn't bear to see you like this. I will definitely visit you often in the future!"
Guan Youzheng said.
At this moment, a maid came to report that the wine and dishes were ready.
A pot of wine and four small dishes were served. Mi Fang'er took off her long robe, leaving only her inner garment, revealing her beautiful figure. She dismissed the maids and personally poured wine for Guan Youzheng, causing Guan Youzheng's small eyes to narrow into slits, and his hands couldn't help but reach for her ample buttocks.
Mi Fang'er's face flushed, but she remained silent, clearly acquiescing to Guan Youzheng's actions. She then raised her cup to offer a toast.
After three cups, Guan Youzheng, emboldened by the alcohol, pulled Mi Fang'er into his arms and led her into the inner room.
Inside, red candles burned brightly, and through the thin, gossamer-thin red gauze curtains, the shadowy figures of a man and a woman were engaged in their act.
"We're going on this mission too, to rescue those poor sisters!"
Qi Xian, lying beneath Long Lin, gripped the sheets tightly with one hand and held onto Long Lin's shoulder with the other, panting as she spoke.
Long Lin chuckled, "Of course you'll be there this time, otherwise those wolf-like buddies would devour these beautiful girls alive!"
"Hmm...like you!"
Qi Xian teased Long Lin, pouting.
"Is that so?"
Long Lin asked with a wicked smile, his waist suddenly thrusting forward, producing a series of loud slapping sounds.
"Ah..."
Qi Xian cried out, her slender pink waist suddenly straightening and pressing tightly against Long Lin. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her body trembling violently. She let out a long sigh for a full minute before collapsing.
"How about it? Still dare to tease me?"
Long Lin groped Qi Xian's thick pubic hair, a half-smile on his face.
"Hmm, I wouldn't dare... Hmm... It's so itchy!"
Qi Xian squirmed, her voice full of desire.
Long Lin suddenly straddled her, grinning wickedly, "Looks like you still want to suffer! I'll grant your wish!"
Another series of soft, almost painful, moans echoed from the inner room.
Guan Youzheng, satisfied, got off Mi Fang'er, dressed, and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek as she worked tirelessly, her face glistening with sweat, before swaggering out.
Having inspected the former magistrate's concubine, he now went to inspect the thousand yamen soldiers left behind by the former magistrate.
He certainly didn't expect much from the Qin soldiers transferred from the prefecture; these yamen soldiers were his last resort for gaining merit and beauty.
The treasury was opened, and gleaming longswords, spears, and brand-new armor were taken out and distributed to the yamen soldiers. Guan Youzheng stood on the high platform, rose, and loudly proclaimed, "The battle the day after tomorrow concerns the stability of Dang County for the next ten years, and the honor of the entire Qin Empire. Everything depends on you!"
"We obey your orders! We swear to fight to the death!"
The yamen soldiers, having just received their pay and now with new weapons and armor, were in high spirits, their shouts thunderous.
On a small hilltop far from the training ground, a dark figure tucked an iron tube with mirrors at both ends into his robes, ran swiftly down the hill, mounted a horse, and galloped eastward.
After hearing Eagle Eye's report, Long Lin frowned slightly and said to Liu Bang, "It seems that Guan Youzheng really has ill intentions!"
Liu Bang nodded. "Fourth Brother, should we not make a move this time?"
"No… we must make a move this time!"
Long Lin shook his head, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Not to mention that the arrival of these beauties is a perfect target, worth the risk. It's also a good opportunity to demonstrate the might of our Dangshan Fire Dragon Village and crush the morale of the Qin soldiers in Dangshan Prefecture."
"Then what should we do?"
Liu Bang asked.
Long Lin narrowed his eyes. "It's simple, we won't follow Guan Youzheng's arrangements, we'll just catch them off guard!"
Saying this, he stood up and said to Liu Bang, "Let's go, let's check the terrain!"
Liu Bang agreed and stood up.
"Eagle Eye, take that telescope!"
Long Lin turned and instructed Eagle Eye.
"Yes, Master!"
Eagle Eye replied, patting the iron tube in his pocket, and followed him out with a grin.
Long Lin, Liu Bang, Chang Tianba, and Eagle Eye rode four fast horses out of Fire Dragon Village, galloping westward and soon reaching the straight road of Dang Mountain.
They bypassed Dang County and headed north, with mountains rising and falling on both sides. They arrived at a valley only a dozen or so feet wide, and Long Lin reined in his horse. This was the place Guan Youzheng had arranged for them to ambush them in the secret letter.
"What a good place for an ambush..."
Long Lin looked at the terrain, then took the telescope Eagle Eye handed him and looked at the distant mountains, then sneered, "But it's also a good place for the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
Guan Youzheng thought they were just a group of ordinary mountain bandits, so he used this trick, but Long Lin had been fighting for many years, and his Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Group was best at ambushes. How could he not see the advantages and disadvantages of this terrain?
"Let's go, let's take another look ahead!"
Long Lin put down his binoculars and led Liu Bang and the others towards the distance.
A quarter of an hour later, Long Lin and the others arrived at a large swamp. This swamp was about a thousand acres in size, with a straight road more than twenty feet wide built in the middle, and the rest of the area was boundless swamp, with water plants taller than a person and several intricate paths.
"This is it!"
Long Lin said coldly.
Liu Bang looked at the terrain and said, "Fourth brother, although the terrain here is treacherous, I'm afraid it's difficult to start a fight."
Long Lin nodded and said, "That's right. Here we don't need a large force to ambush. As long as we cut off both ends and capture the people, we will win!"
"What if the enemy surrounds us?"
Liu Bang asked.
Long Lin smiled slightly, "I have a way of dealing with that!" He then asked Chang Tianba, "Tianba, how is the matter I arranged for you going?"
"Master, it's all done, a thousand sets, the armor and weapons are exactly the same as those of the soldiers of Dang County!"
Chang Tianba replied.
"Good!" Long Lin nodded with a smile, giving Chang Tianba an approving look.
Liu Bang asked in surprise, "Fourth Brother, are you going to use all this equipment here?"
Long Lin laughed heartily, put his hands behind his back, and strode forward, saying, "As the saying goes: 'Military tactics are unpredictable, even gods and Buddhas cannot fathom them.' This time, I will solidify Fire Dragon Village's position as the overlord of Dangshan in one battle!"
