Chapter 259: Just Passing Through... Gufeng City was different from the border towns of Crouching Tiger, Longxing, and Fengming. Located between the Prefectural City and Leshan, far from the borderlines, it was mostly flat plains with few mountains. Though its civilian population wasn’t as large as the major southern prefectures, it was still far more populous than any border town. And where there were more people, there was more land to cultivate. True to its name, Gufeng City had claimed the…- 619.3 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 260: Crossing the Fire Basin “Xiao’an Village isn’t exactly nearby. How did you get here? By water?” asked the masked constable. “Yes, officer. We came downstream on a raft,” Yan Lao’er replied. “This your son?” Yan Lao’er hesitated. “Yes, he’s my boy.” “Quite the gutsy one. Northern Rong troops just passed through your village in broad daylight, and you still had the nerve to raft your way to Gufeng...” He glanced over at Yan Lao’er. “Guess he…

- Chapter 252: Northern Rong Enters the Village She stared intently at Master Lu, eyes wide and unblinking, her tone more serious and solemn than ever before. "Master Lu, we can trust you, right?" It wasn’t just Li Xuemei. Everyone else looked at him with hesitation and uncertainty in their eyes. Master Lu felt it was time to give these newly arrived villagers a proper lesson.

- Chapter 253: A Well-Timed Finishing Blow They were still rummaging through things and hadn’t yet reached the ambush spot Master Lu had designated. The villagers whose homes were being searched clenched their fists tight. But they held back. At last, Master Lu shouted, “Kill!” From all directions, men surged out, catching the six intruders off guard. But only for a moment. In the blink of an eye, they reacted—three drew blades, three raised bows—and charged forward with…

- Chapter 254: The One That Got Away As he adjusted to the dim surroundings, a bead of blood dripped into his eye, blurring his vision. He squinted and rubbed his eye socket slowly but firmly with his hand. That’s when he saw the passage—and the little kid retreating inside it, clutching a cast iron pot. The man’s face was a mess of bruises and blood. His expression had gone beyond ferocious—it was tragic. He tapped the passage wall with the back of his knife, crawling forward with each…

- Chapter 255: A Northern Rong Head Is Worth Two Taels Yan Yu helped Li Xuemei into the house, only leaving quietly after seeing her lie down on the heated brick bed and slowly close her eyes. Perhaps because of everything they’d been through, the fear in the mother and daughter had lessened considerably. Still, for a pregnant woman to climb in and out of a cellar, then focus her energy to fire that deadly arrow—it was no surprise she was exhausted. Yan Yu went to check on Eldest Sister…

- Chapter 256: Stock Up on Grain, Build High Walls! Hu Er was grinning like a fool, mumbling numbers under his breath as he tried to calculate how much silver he could get. But even as he dreamed of silver, he reminded himself that while he could take credit for the work, he couldn’t pocket the two taels that belonged to Yan Er’s family. Once the money came in, he’d have to make sure it got to them. After the officials finished their tasks, Village Chief Luo, following local custom, invited…

- Chapter 257: Ginseng Stewed Pork Ribs Yan Lao’er treasured that ginseng like it was made of gold. He carried it from Yongning to Longxing, then from Longxing back to Yongning, asking countless pharmacies along the way. None felt quite right, so he never made a move. The one Granny Rong used was either the one Li Xuemei had stored away or the one Yan Lao’er had been carrying back and forth like a precious heirloom. She trimmed off some of the root tendrils with a knife, then swiftly sliced…
