In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Moreover, compared to others, it would be safest for the treasure to fall into Zhu Meichu's hands.

Once the goods are transported out of the Sanjiang region, the Ming army can be summoned to escort them.

Chu Hongliu shouted angrily:

"We're all doing dangerous jobs. If we don't even dare to do business, we might as well break up as soon as possible."

Sha Tianguang also said in a deep voice:

"Cheng Qingzhu, if you want a share of the pie, we'll let it slide since we're all begging for food in this area. We'll split the treasure equally. But if you want to keep it all for yourself, you'll have to ask my brothers if they'll allow it."

Cheng Qingzhu saw that Sha Tianguang and Chu Hongliu had made up their minds.

Helpless, he took out his whistle and blew it.

Suddenly, hundreds more Green Bamboo Gang disciples wielding guns and clubs appeared and surrounded Sha Tianguang and his group.

Upon seeing this, Sha Tianguang's expression changed.

Because he saw a hand crossbow in the hands of the Green Bamboo Gang disciples.

The fact that such a powerful military weapon had appeared in the hands of the Green Bamboo Gang made his expression turn ugly.

Sha Tianguang suddenly remembered the rumors that the Green Bamboo Gang had some connection with the Ming Dynasty court.

Now it seems there was no unfounded rumor.

However, just as he hesitated...

Another charming female voice came through.

"Please, everyone, give our Five Poisons Sect some face and take back our three treasures."

Chapter 521: The Alluring He Tieshou

The newcomer's voice was soft and sweet, with a coquettish tone.

Her voice was charming, soft, and pleasant to listen to.

Upon hearing this, many of the men present couldn't help but shudder.

Many men even bent over involuntarily.

Everyone looked at it.

Dozens of men and women dressed in Miao ethnic costumes surrounded a woman with phoenix eyes full of spring, long eyebrows reaching her temples, and a smile on her lips.

The woman was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with a captivating gaze and striking beauty.

She was barefoot, with two gold rings on each ankle and arm; the rings clashed together as she moved, producing a clear, ringing sound.

Her skin was exceptionally fair and smooth, appearing like jade from afar. Her long hair, which reached her shoulders, was also tied up with a gold ring.

It's regrettable that the woman's right hand was as white and smooth as jade, and her five sharp fingernails were smeared with pink balsam juice, but her left wrist was fitted with an iron hook.

The woman was none other than He Tieshou.

Her captivating beauty was truly dazzling.

Her perfectly intact right hand was now affectionately linked with someone's arm.

It was Wen Qingqing, disguised as a man.

She looked embarrassed and tried several times to break free from He Tieshou's arm.

However, the difference in their martial arts skills was enormous.

Wen Qingqing couldn't break free at all.

She could only let He Tieshou hold her, as if she had no will to live.

But in her heart, she felt wronged and thought:

"Why hasn't Brother Gu come to save me yet?"

Wen Qingqing actually regretted it as soon as she ran away from the Golden Dragon Gang.

She knew all too well that Gu Hanyuan was a womanizer.

I had prepared myself mentally beforehand.

What truly made her jealous was that Jiao Wan'er and the others had beaten her to it.

She couldn't help but lose her temper.

But she couldn't bring herself to go back to the Golden Dragon Gang.

So he wandered around Jinling City aimlessly.

However, He Hongyao, disguised as an ugly beggar, happened to see him.

He Hongyao helped Xia Xueyi steal the Golden Snake Treasures.

He was punished by the Five Poisons Sect and suffered the torment of being bitten by ten thousand snakes, which ruined his appearance.

He was also sentenced to beg for thirty years.

She went from being an incredibly charming woman to an ugly, widowed old beggar.

But she still harbored love for Xia Xueyi in her heart.

Therefore, when he saw Wen Qingqing, who looked quite similar to Xia Xueyi when dressed as a man, he stepped forward, grabbed her, and interrogated her about her relationship with Xia Xueyi.

Wen Qingqing is still unaware of her own background.

He only said that he had a grudge against Xia Xueyi.

He Hongyao didn't believe her and continued to press her for information about who her mother was.

Upon hearing Wen Yi's name, he immediately realized that Wen Qingqing was the daughter of Wen Yi and Xia Xueyi.

He Hongyao was both saddened and resentful.

In a fit of madness, he wanted Wen Qingqing to also suffer the torment of being bitten by ten thousand snakes.

But under normal circumstances, there aren't that many snakes for her to use.

He had no choice but to return to the Five Poisons Sect.

As a result, He Tieshou caught him red-handed.

He Tieshou fell in love at first sight with Wen Qingqing, who was dressed as a man.

Miao women have always been known for their passionate love and hate.

Since I've fallen for her, there's no reason for me to let her go.

Wen Qingqing was completely stunned.

Having barely escaped the bites of ten thousand snakes, she was then forced into marriage by He Tieshou.

Fortunately, she was quite quick-witted.

They brought up the matter of Yuan Chengzhi to divert He Tieshou's attention.

Originally, the five elders of the Wen family had also visited He Tieshou, hoping to use the power of the Five Poisons Sect to deal with Yuan Chengzhi.

As a result, they couldn't even get past the poison array in front of the door and had to retreat in disgrace.

Therefore, no one from the Five Poisons Sect has ever shown up.

Now that He Tieshou has learned from Wen Qingqing that the Golden Snake Treasures have fallen into Yuan Chengzhi's hands, he naturally wants to find a way to retrieve them.

He then brought Wen Qingqing along to arrest Yuan Chengzhi.

In short, Wen Qingqing did suffer a lot during this period.

Although I was not physically injured, I was extremely mentally exhausted.

Especially when facing the fierce attacks of He Tieshou, she dared not reveal her identity as a woman.

They lived a life of constant anxiety, as if walking on thin ice.

Her longing for Gu Hanyuan grew stronger with each passing day.

Gu Hanyuan watched from the shadows as Wen Qingqing looked utterly dejected.

A smile of joy spread through my heart.

I've had this experience once.

Even if Wen Qingqing finds out about his relationship with Wen Yi later, she'll be able to accept it better.

The appearance of the Five Poisons Sect members made everyone in the room even more vigilant.

Although their numbers are much smaller, their use of poison is far more dangerous.

Zhu Meichu also found the situation very difficult.

She used her connections to obtain some crossbow equipment for the Green Bamboo Gang.

They thought victory was assured, but unexpectedly they encountered the Five Poisons Sect, who were skilled in using poison.

The deterrent effect of the hand crossbow was greatly reduced.

After all, given the Five Poisons Sect's expertise in using poison, if they really disregarded the consequences, the crossbow squad might be wiped out before they could even fire a single arrow.
