Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Blackwind City, West Gate Martial Market.

Qin Ruxue practically jumped off the horse as if fleeing.

She didn't even dare to look back at Lin Mo.

Her bright and pretty face was tinged with a captivating blush.

She stomped her foot angrily, gave him a look of utter shame and indignation, and stormed into the noisy martial arts market without looking back.

That bastard... how dare he!

Lin Mo slowly dismounted, savoring the thrilling and intense experience he had just had, his heart burning with excitement.

A thought crossed my mind.

He brought up the system panel.

Lin Mo was in a great mood.

It was now noon.

The martial arts market was a mixed bag of people. Lin Mo bought two meat-filled flatbreads from a nearby stall before leisurely following them inside.

He found Qin Ruxue in a corner with a "Recruitment" sign.

At this moment, she had completely shed her girlish coquettishness.

Standing before a group of martial artists, her sharp black outfit accentuated her stunning figure, making her even more eye-catching.

Lin Mo walked over and handed her the still-steaming flatbread.

"Have something to eat."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruxue's body stiffened, clearly recalling the shameful memory from earlier.

She turned her head, intending to refuse with a cold face, but her stomach betrayed her with a "rumble".

After a whole morning of running around, she was indeed hungry.

Qin Ruxue snatched the flatbread from Lin Mo's hand with some annoyance, took a big bite, as if she were biting into someone's flesh instead of a flatbread.

Lin Mo didn't provoke her, but stood aside, watching with great interest as she selected her guards.

She walked up to a bald, burly man who was thumping his chest loudly, boasting that he could lift a thousand pounds.

Qin Ruxue merely glanced at him coldly before leaving.

The lower body is unstable.

His breathing was unsteady.

This was the conclusion she drew for the other party.

Then they passed a man with a broadsword in hand and a face full of scars.

The man saw that she was a stunningly beautiful woman, and a lewd glint flashed in his eyes before he blocked her path.

Qin Ruxue's beautiful eyes turned cold.

"Get out of the way."

"Oh ho, this young lady is quite something..."

"Clang!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of silver light appeared.

The cold tip of the Lianhua Sword was firmly pressed against the man's Adam's apple.

The man's hair stood on end instantly, and he retreated in fright.

The entire place fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at this woman, who was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly strong, with awe.

Qin Ruxue's selection process became much smoother after that.

She stopped looking at the loud and boisterous gangsters and instead focused her gaze on a few quiet men standing in the corner.

Which battalion?

She walked over and asked.

Upon hearing this, one of the middle-aged men, whose eyes were calm, shuddered and subconsciously recited a series of numbers from a unit that had long been disbanded.

Qin Ruxue nodded, then asked, "Who was the commander-in-chief in the Battle of Blackwater River?"

A trace of sorrow flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "General Tiger Might!"

Qin Ruxue's eyes reddened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You, and you all, all of you, come with me."

She ultimately selected fifty veterans who had actually been on the battlefield and seen blood.

Although these men were dressed in rags and looked dejected, the ruthless, fearless spirit of soldiers in their eyes was impossible to conceal.

After selecting the personnel.

The group prepared to return home in a grand procession.

The sun was already setting in the west, and the golden afterglow cast long shadows on everyone.

Lin Mo led his horse to Qin Ruxue's side, patted the horse's back, and said with a grin, "My lady, you've worked hard. Why don't you mount the horse and rest for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruxue immediately reacted as if she had been electrocuted, taking three steps back to maintain a safe distance from him.

Her pretty face hardened, and she said decisively, "I! Go! Back!"

It looked as if the horse's back was covered not by a saddle, but by a red-hot iron plate.

"Really not riding?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"I won't ride it!"

And so, by the time the group finally dawdled to the gate of Dingbei Prefecture, it was already completely dark.

The lanterns in front of the mansion gate emitted a warm orange glow.

Lin Mo found it amusing to look at Qin Ruxue's adorable, tired yet angry expression.

Just then.

A petite figure stumbled and cried as she rushed towards them from a distance.

"Something terrible has happened! Master, something terrible has happened!"

The person who came was Chun Tao, Su Qingyue's personal maid.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were covered in mud, and her pretty face was streaked with tears, her expression one of panic.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, she seemed to have seen a savior, and knelt down before him with a thud, saying in a tearful voice:

"Master! Something terrible has happened!"

"Madam...Madam has been kidnapped!"

boom!

All the smiles on Lin Mo's face vanished without a trace in an instant.

He grabbed Chuntao.

"What did you say? Speak slowly and clearly!"

Chun Tao shuddered at the sudden chill emanating from Lin Mo, but still began to sob incoherently.

"Today...today this servant accompanied the First Madam to the bank to deposit...to deposit the gold."

"Later, they purchased supplies for the mansion and finally consulted with Li the fortune teller outside the city... to select a site for building an ancestral hall for the lords and generals..."

"Everything was arranged, but... but on the way back, just as we were about to reach the city gate, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out of the woods! They knocked out the servants and... kidnapped the First Madam!"

"They even sent a note back with the message, saying... saying it's for you!"

Chun Tao trembled as she pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom.

Lin Mo snatched it away and quickly unfolded it.

A line of large, crooked characters was written on the paper:

"If you want to save her, come to the Black Wind Mountain's rocky slope yourself. If you dare bring even one more person, you can expect to collect her corpse!"

In an instant, a powerful killing intent erupted from Lin Mo!

The fifty newly recruited veterans, all tough guys who had crawled out of piles of corpses, felt as if their blood was about to freeze, and even breathing became difficult.

terrible!

This murderous aura... it's terrifying!

"court death!"

Lin Mo squeezed out two cold words.

That handsome face was no longer cynical; only a chilling, violent intensity, like that of a purgatory, remained.

Su Qingyue.

The first woman to give him warmth after he came into this world.

That gentle and virtuous woman who would take care of everything for him and shyly call him "husband" in his arms.

That woman, already carrying his child!

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant sword cry rang out.

Qin Ruxue rushed over at some point, and when she saw the contents of the note, her beautiful face was also filled with frost and anger.

"Are they remnants of Black Wind Stronghold? Or some bandits from the city? How dare they touch Big Sister!"

"I'll go with you!"

Without saying a word, she gripped the Lianhua sword and was about to rush out.

However, a hand pressed down on her wrist.

"You stay."

Lin Mo's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.

Qin Ruxue was stunned, then angrily said, "My eldest sister has been arrested! You want me to stay?"

Lin Mo turned his head, and in his dark eyes, a blood-red vortex churned, making one's heart tremble.

"They specifically asked me to go alone, and I still don't know if it's a diversionary tactic."

"If I leave and you follow, who will guard this vast Dingbei Prefecture?"

"There are also seven sisters-in-law in the mansion, and dozens of unarmed servants."

"We still don't know who they are. What if their target is the entire Lin family? If we leave, this place will become an undefended slaughterhouse!"

Qin Ruxue's body stiffened.

I was awakened by this series of words.

Yes, if this is a treacherous plot by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Mo released his grip and turned his gaze to the fifty silent veterans, his voice as cold as the depths of hell.

"From this moment forward, obey the Second Madam's orders! Close the gates of the mansion; no one is permitted to enter or leave!"

"If any thieves invade, kill them without mercy!"

"yes!"

Fifty veterans roared in unison, their voices filled with a surge of righteous indignation.

Lin Mo glanced at Qin Ruxue again, the violence in his eyes slightly subsided, replaced by a solemn look of entrustment.

"I'm leaving the house to you."

Having said that, he didn't linger any longer, and with a flash, disappeared into the faint night.
