Book 2 Chapter 46 Local Tyrant


    A red cloth and arge red flower hung on Great Li Vige’s entrance, amemoration to an extremely joyous asion.


    There were many people standing at the entrance, looking off into the western distance.


    “The people from the Teng Jia Vige still haven’t arrived.”


    “Third Elder Li, why don’t you wait at home? There’s no need to be rushed?” A few vigersughed and made fun of a simple yet honest middle aged man. This middle aged man was the father of Li Luoxiang, today’s bride. “Father of Luoxiang, go home and get yourself ready. It won’t belong before they arrive.”A woman dragged Third Elder Li towards his home.”


    Third Elder Li alsoughed, and together with his wife, he returned to his home.


    “Our Luoxiang marrying into the Teng Jia Vige really is a blessing. Her fiancee can even lift 2000 Jin.” Third Elder Li walked while sighing in exmation. “2000 Jin... Within our entire Great Li Vige, no one is capable of such a feat. In the future, our family’s Luoxiang will enjoy good fortune.”


    “It seems you are very happy.” His wife alsoughed.


    “I only have this one daughter; how could I not be happy?” Third Elder Li was quitecent.


    His daughter was able to marry such a powerful man, causing Third Elder Li’s reputation in the Great Li Vige to multiplied. During his lifetime, he had been quite docile and remained in obscurity. However, because his daughter was able to marry such a formidable man, who in the entire vige wouldn’t look up to Third Elder Li?


    At this moment—–


    The ground started to shake.


    “The sound of horses! The Teng Jia Vige members have arrived.” Third Elder Li was overjoyed and turned around. He began running towards the entrance of Great Li Vige.


    “It sounds very simrly to a herd of horses belonging to gangsters that have arrived to collect their annual tribute.” The woman ran towards the source of the noise while talking.


    “Bullsh*t, what time of the year are we in right now? Time to collect the annual tribute? This Teng Jia Vige has definitely arranged for a parade of horses to unt their prestige.” Third Elder Li jubntly said, but in that moment??


    “Mounted gangsters have arrived!”


    “Members of the White Horse Gang have arrived!”


    Sessive loud shouts resounded from up ahead. Numerous Great Li Vige nsmen drew their sabers and spears while rushing towards the entrance. Third Elder Li was also somewhat dumbstruck. “It really is the White Horse Gang.” Third Elder Li reacted very quickly and rushed forwards with therge group of nsmen.


    ******


    In Great Li Vige’s spacious training field, a myriad of nsmen gripped their weapons tightly while fearfully looking at therge group of mounted gangsters. The mounted gangsters that had forcefully entered the training field numbered in the hundreds. Moreover, there was anotherrge group of mounted gangsters outside of Great Li Vige’s entrance. This Great Li vige had never seen the White Horse Gang dispatch this many people and horses before.


    “Young Chief, we have already paid this year’s tribute. I do not know the Young Chief hase to our Great Li Vige.” One of the Great Li Elders opened his mouth and spoke.


    Sitting on a cyan bristled Treading In Snow horse was a sturdy male with a body like an iron tower. The male was wearing cyan armour and had a helmet on his head. Even the Treading In Snow horse he was riding was wearing armor. This man was the White Horse Gang’s second ranked expert??Young Chief “Hong Zhenjie”!


    This White Horse Gang’s Young Chief coldly stared through the slits his helmet.


    “It seems that your Great Li vige is having a joyous asion today.” The Young Chief’s voice resonated, “There are many people waiting at the entrance. They are waiting to wee someone right?” This Young Chief really was intelligent. With one nce, he was able to infer that Great Li Vige was either marrying a woman into the vige or marrying a woman out of the vige.


    “This...” The Li n Chief slightly hesitated before saying, “Young Chief, today our Great Li Vige is marrying one of our women to another vige.”


    “Eh, bring her here for me to see.” The Young Chief indifferently instructed.


    “We cannot....” The Chief of the Li n had yet to finish speaking when...


    “Pa!” A long spear smacked into the Li n Chief’s body and smacked his body into the air. He heavilynded on the ground and spat two mouthfuls of blood. To the side of the Young Chief was a mounted gangster holding a spear while wearing an identical set of full body of armour. He coldly yelled through his helmet, “Old geezer, the Young Chief has requested for you to bring the bride to him. If you speak another rebellious word, I will kill you.”


    The group of Great Li vigers were so shocked that they didn’t dare move.


    The White Horse Gang was internally divided into elite and regr mounted gangsters. Surrounding the Young Chief was a group of mounted gangsterspletely covered in armor. It was clear that they were part of the elite group.


    “Third Elder Li, bring your daughter here.” The Li n Chief clenched his teeth before yelling.


    Third Elder Li’s body shivered.


    “The Young Chief looking at your daughter is a fortune to her. Quickly go,” The Li n Chief subsequently yelled. He also felt something was wrong...because even when the White Horse Gang came to collect their annual tax, they usually never dispatched this many elite troops. The group of mounted gangsters surrounding the Young Chief, including their horses, were all wearing armour.


    Just a mere set of armour most likely cost a fortune.


    Third Elder Li quickly ran to his home and brought his daughter, who was about to be married, to the martial training field. Li Luoxiang was wearing a red wedding dress, her face full of fear.


    “This...this is the maiden about to be married to the Teng Jia Vige today,” The Li n Chief proceeded to say.


    Mounted on his horse, the Young Chief, Hong Zhenjie, examined the bride below him. However, Li Luoxiang lowered her head and didn’t dare to lift it. The Young Chief coldly yelled, “Lift your head!”


    Li Luoxiang’s entire body shook, but she didn’t dare resist. She lifted her head and looked at the Young Chief on his battle horse.


    “Your appearance isn’t bad.” The Young Chiefughed as he closely examined her before saying to the mounted gangster beside him, “This young woman’s looks aren’t that bad. Brothers, today we are about to eradicate the Iron Mountain Gang. We will take this bride with us to reward ourselves. Come, prepare to take this bride with us.”


    Immediately, a few mounted gangsters leapt off their horses and walked towards Li Luoxiang.


    “My lord, you cannot.” Third Elder Li stood in front of Li Luoxiang and instantly kneeled.


    Li Luoxiang’s face was deathly pale. Today, she was supposed to marry the man of her dreams. She had envisioned herself giving birth to two or three children for her husband while happily living her life. How would she have known that on this day, she would unexpectedlye across such a situation.


    “Beat it!” Among the three mounted gangsters that had gotten off their horses, one kicked Third Elder Li while another grabbed Li Luoxiang.


    “No, no, my husband is Teng Jia Vige’s Teng Qinghu! You cannot take me!” Li Luoxiang seemed to have gone crazy as she suddenly gave a desperate yell. Li Luoxiang clearly understood that once she was brought back to the mounted gangsters’ir, what greeted her was more terrifying than entering hell.


    The Li n Chief proceeded to say: “Young Chief, Luoxiang is to marry Teng Jia Vige’s Teng Qinghu. The people of Teng Vige are about to arrive.”


    “Don’t even bother mentioning Teng Qinghu. Even if it was the wife of Teng Qingshan, Teng Jia Vige’s number one hero, I would still bring her with me today.” The Young Chief, Hong Zhenji, gave a contemptuous stare at the surrounding group before pointing at three members of the Great Li Vige. “This, this and that girl, bring them all with us! Eradicating the Iron Mountain Gang is worthy of a joyous asion for us brothers.”


    “Yes, Young Chief!”


    Numerous mounted gangsters excitedly jumped off their horses and grabbed the three girls. This Hong Zhenjie seemed to be particrly fond of young girls. These three girls seemed around 14-15 years old and had most likely just be adults.


    “Release my daughter!” Arge man roared in indignation. Wielding an axe, he rushed forward and swung at a mounted gangster.


    A full body armoured mounted gangster on top of his war horse brandished the long spear in his hand. Like a phantom image??


    Puchi!


    The long spear stabbed into therge man’s stomach. The man’s eyes opened wide like copper bells, and as the mounted gangster on his war horse coldly removed his spear, fresh blood started to flow.


    “Great Master!”


    “Great Master!”


    Numerous youngsters from Great Li Vige began to sorrowfully cry out.


    Sitting aloofly atop his horse, the Young Chief Hong Zhenjie indifferently said, “Today is the sixth day of the third month; a great day! It is also the day my White Horse Gang will annihte the Iron Mountain Gang. It is best for you Great Li Vige to remain obedient; otherwise, I will do everything I can to massacre everyone in Great Li Vige before we eliminate the Iron Mountain Gang.”


    The men of Great Li Vige were so angry they started to shake, but they didn’t dare say anything.


    Just now, the mounted gangster wearing armor, in a mere single strike, had killed their n’s Great Master. This time, in order to eliminate the Iron Mountain Gang, White Horse Gang had dispatched unconditional elite troops. Eradicating their Great Li Vige wouldn’t take very long if undertaken by the White horse Gang’s elite troops.


    “Brothers, let’s leave!” Hong Zhenjie yelled in a clear voice.


    Immediately, the group of mounted gangsters riding horses left. The girls who had been captured mournfully called out, but despite their yelling, the Great Li Vige nsmen didn’t dare to make even the slightest resistance. On the ground, the blood from the Great Master’s corpse had yet to flow away, and it sat there in harsh daylight.


    “Li n Chief...” A gathering of nsmen were tearing up as they looked at the Li n Chief.


    The Li n Chief lifted his head towards the heavens as teardrops fell from his eyes: “This White Horse Gang is our local tyrant. If we resist, that would be the same as courting death!” Living in such a chaotic world,moners had their own ways of conducting themselves within society. When facing a terrifying gang like the White Horse Gang, unless they were at a life or death situation, they wouldn’t dare resist.


    The nsmen of Great Li Vige lifted their Great Master’s corpse andforted the nsmen who had lost their daughters.


    In the blink of an eye, a joyous event had turned into a funeral arrangement.


    They were at a loss when facing the White Horse Gang, the local tyrants of Yi City’s hegemon that controlled their lives. They could only endure the humiliation. This was not the first time their women were stolen.


    Not long after.


    “n Chief, n Chief, Teng jia Vige’s marriage escort group has arrived.” From the entrance to Great Li Vige, nsmen saw a marriage escort groupprising of a few tens of people in the distance. Furthermore, sitting proudly on top of arge horse was a groom dressed in red. The Great Li Vige nsmen promptly went to the training field to notify the Li n Chief.


    The Li n Chief’s face changed, and he bitterlyughed. “How can our Great Li Vige justify ourselves to the Teng Jia Vige nsmen!?” He subsequently clenched his teeth and looked at the surrounding nsmen. “Even without face, we must go. Walk, apany me as I greet them.”
