A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

The group of Xuanjia cavalry dismounted, picked up their shields, gripped their swords, and huddled behind the shields as they slowly advanced.

A dozen or so henchmen kept firing arrows at the group of Xuanjia cavalry. As the distance between the two sides closed, many people panicked and their arrows went out of bounds.

At first, quite a few arrows hit the shields of the Xuanjia cavalrymen, but later, many arrows went way off course, hitting the soldiers several meters away.

Soon, the kidnappers ran out of arrows.

"Grab your knives and charge!"

The fat man urged them on from behind.

A dozen or so henchmen stood there, looking hesitant.

The fat man's face darkened, and he snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Think of your wives and children! If you don't want them to die with you, then charge!"

The henchmen turned pale and could only draw their machetes and charge at Li Changming and his men with a roar.

The fat man also had a fierce look on his face. He gripped the heavy knife tightly with both hands and charged forward with steady steps.

In close combat, screams of agony rose and fell.

Li Changming took the lead, cleaving down a henchman charging at the front with a single blow. Blood splattered on his face, but it did not shake his gaze in the slightest.

In less than a dozen breaths, the ten henchmen who were covering the rear were all killed, leaving only the fat man struggling to hold on.

By this time, the fat man had been stabbed several times, his chest and back were covered in blood and flesh, and blood was flowing freely.

But relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, he still wielded his heavy sword with great power, forcing the soldiers to retreat repeatedly.

"Make way, let me do it!"

After letting out a roar, Li Changming charged forward with his knife.

The fat man looked at Li Changming rushing up and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. The other party wanted to fight him one-on-one, so he would send him on his way!

The fat man raised his heavy sword high above his head and unleashed a powerful strike, cleaving down fiercely at Li Changming who was charging towards him.

Li Changming had just observed the fat man's moves and knew his tactics.

Just as the fat man raised his hand to strike and exhausted his strength, Li Changming dodged the direction of the fat man's downward strike.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the long knife tightly in his hand and stabbed diagonally upwards, the knife piercing the fat man's ribs and going straight through his heart.

"Pfft!"

The fat man grunted, his eyes widening, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

I never expected that this middle-aged man could be so fast. In just a moment, I could only catch a fleeting afterimage.

I've done my best, so I didn't lose unjustly!

This was the last thought that flashed through the fat man's mind before he died.

Li Changming pulled the long knife out of the fat man's body, drawing out a string of blood droplets.

He casually flicked his long sword, glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Keep chasing them! Don't let the kidnapper get away!"

The group spurred their horses on to give chase again, and within a quarter of an hour, Li Changming and his men had surrounded the triangular-eyed convoy.

The coachman on the carriage drew a long knife from the carriage and charged forward with gritted teeth, but after only a few rounds, he was captured alive by Li Changming's men.

Just as Li Changming was about to send someone forward to check, a middle-aged man with triangular eyes stepped down from the carriage at the front.

At this moment, the man with triangular eyes, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted in a ferocious manner, dragged a little girl who had just woken up from a nearby carriage.

The man with the triangular eyes drew a dagger, the cold blade pressed against the girl's neck. He grinned maliciously at Li Changming and said, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

The little girl, who had just woken up, had never seen anything like this before. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and burst into tears.

Li Changming's face darkened. The scene he least wanted to face had still happened. He waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were slowly approaching.

"Let her go! You can't escape, don't bother trying!"

Li Changming warned in a low voice, "If you release her, I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"

"A complete corpse? Hahaha..."

Scarface laughed wildly, then pressed the dagger against the little girl's neck again, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"Listen, don't try that on me! Let me go right now, or I'll kill this little girl first, then stab all the children in the car to death!"

"Since I'm going to die anyway if you catch me, it's worth it to take a few more down with me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Changming's eyes suddenly turned cold. He released the long sword in his hand and slowly took the longbow off his back.

Drawing the bow, nocking the arrow, and stringing it—all in one smooth motion.

Li Changming stared intently at the right hand of the man with the triangular eyes, who was holding a dagger, while he drew the longbow to its full extent.

Seeing this, the man with the triangular eyes throbbed with anger, and he growled, "You dare! I..."

"call out--!!"

Before the words were finished, a whooshing sound rang out.

Li Changming loosened his grip and shot an arrow. The arrow flashed like a meteor and pierced directly through the right wrist of the man with the triangular eyes who was gripping the dagger.

"ah!!"

The man with the triangular eyes screamed, and the dagger fell to the ground.

After shooting the arrow, Li Changming didn't even look at it before kicking the ground, sending dirt flying, and charged towards the triangular-eyed man.

The moment the triangular-eyed man's dagger hit the ground, Li Changming rushed in front of him, kicked him over, and then picked up the little girl who was standing there stunned.

Everything happened so fast; the little girl was crying her heart out one moment and was rescued the next.

Li Changming handed the trembling little girl to the soldier who rushed up, asking him to comfort her. Then he walked to the triangular-eyed man and stomped his head into the mud.

Despite the fact that his wrist was frozen through by the arrow and he was sweating profusely from the pain, the man with the triangular eyes gritted his teeth and remained silent.

At this moment, with Li Changming pressing his head down to the ground, he simply stared fiercely at Li Changming without making any more futile struggles.

He didn't want to be looked down upon on his deathbed.

"Speak! Who's behind you?"

Li Changming stared coldly at the triangular-eyed man and shouted in a cold voice.

The man with the triangular eyes smirked and gritted his teeth, saying, "Heh, just kill me. I won't tell you!"

Seeing that the other party was being stubborn, Li Changming snorted coldly, looked at the soldiers beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Search them!"

Two soldiers rushed up and searched the man's body thoroughly. Soon, one of the soldiers found a package wrapped in oilcloth in the man's underwear.

Li Changming took it and opened it. Inside was a yellowed account book and more than a dozen exit permits.

The ledgers were filled with detailed records of the time, number of children trafficked, amount of money involved in each case, and even the pseudonyms of the recipients of the proceeds.

After closing the ledger, Li Changming took out a few exit permits and saw that they were stamped with a private seal.

Li Changming's pupils contracted. With the two pieces of evidence reflecting each other, the person behind this was about to be revealed!

Sure enough it was him!

Li Changming had long disliked that captain. Although the man was handsome, he was filthy inside!
