I asked you to go hunting, and you ended up wearing a yellow robe?

"Hehe, Young Master Li Yushu, look at these two young ladies, aren't they beautiful? Just picked up from the countryside, they're still young and inexperienced, they'll definitely be fun to play with!"

The casino manager bowed and scraped obsequiously to a man in fine clothes.

Several well-dressed thugs surrounded a young man dressed in brocade.

The man was Li Yushu, the young master of the Li family.

His lecherous eyes were brazenly scanning Lin Wan and Su Yue, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

Lin Wan and Su Yue's pretty faces turned pale, their eyes filled with terror and despair.

"Great, really great."

Young Master Li Yushu reached out his greasy hand, about to touch Su Yue's pretty face, which was streaked with tears.

The gamblers around peered through the crack in the door, their eyes gleaming with greed, their Adam's apples bobbing, but none of them dared to utter a sound.

Li Yushu, the young master, is a local tyrant in the county. His father is a wealthy man in the county, and his brother works in the county government. Who dares to mess with him?

"Don't come any closer." Su Yue's face was pale and her voice trembled.

"Let us go!" Lin Wan, with her strong personality, gripped the hairpin tightly in her hand.

Li Yushu grinned maliciously, winking and saying, "Scream? I love hearing you scream! The louder you scream, the more excited I get!"

"court death!"

Hearing the two women crying, Qi Shan, who was outside the door, could no longer contain his anger.

Qi Shan's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and a terrifying killing intent erupted.

"Hey, Qi Shan, what are you doing! This isn't a place you can just barge into..."

The steward at the door was about to stop him when he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and an irresistible force kicked him in the chest.

"Bang!"

The manager's obese body flew backward like a tattered sack, smashing a gambling table to pieces before he fainted on the spot.

The casino lobby fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Qi Shan stepped into the inner room, his movements as swift as a ghost.

Just as Young Master Li Yushu was about to commit his wicked act, he suddenly felt an ominous wind behind him. As soon as he turned around, a huge fist rapidly enlarged in his eyes.

"Bang!"

Without any fancy moves, a powerful punch landed squarely on his face.

Young Master Li Yushu's nose broke off instantly, and he fell backward, his face a bloody mess, with two bloody teeth flying out.

Before he could land, Qi Shan stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked him hard between the legs!

"Awooo—!!!"

A piercing, inhuman scream echoed throughout the casino.

Young Master Li Yushu lay on the ground, hunched over like a boiled shrimp, his hands clutching his groin, his body convulsing violently, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

The sound made all the men present unconsciously clench their legs together, and a chill ran down their spines.

Too bad!

This is truly suicidal!

"Young Master!"

"Go! Cripple him for me!"

The thugs Li Yushu brought finally reacted, roaring as they drew their short knives and swarmed forward.

"Husband, be careful!" Lin Wan and Su Yue exclaimed in surprise and quickly hid behind Qi Shan.

Qi Shan shielded his wife behind him, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd that surrounded him. With a clang, the sword at his waist was drawn half an inch from its sheath.

The chilling glint of the blade made the two thugs at the front pause in their tracks.

They saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Qi Shan's eyes.

That's not the look a villager should have.

Li Yushu roared, his voice trembling with fear, "Qi Shan! You've fucking gone mad!"

"You owed the casino money, so selling your wife to pay it off is perfectly justified! My son paid for them too! If you dare touch me, you're dead!"

Qi Shan felt a surge of murderous intent.

These people are nothing but a rabble. He has no fewer than ten ways to turn them all into corpses within three breaths.

Just as he was preparing to strike hard to intimidate everyone, a commotion broke out at the casino entrance.

"Get out of my way, all of you! This is the garrison's business!"

A clear and authoritative command rang out, and the crowd parted to the sides.

A tall, upright young officer, dressed in standard leather armor, strode in, accompanied by four soldiers carrying spears.

The person who arrived was the female officer disguised as a man whom Qi Shan had rescued during the day.

Her gaze swept across the scene like lightning, and when she saw Li Yushu curled up and convulsing on the ground and the two women being protected by Qi Shan, a complex emotion arose within her.

"Oh, isn't this Commander Jia? What brings you here?" Li Yushu clearly recognized her, and his attitude immediately softened.

The centurions were truly fierce soldiers who had crawled out of piles of corpses; they were not on the same level as these cowardly city thugs.

The woman ignored him and walked straight up to Li Yushu, looking down at him.

"Li Yushu, you're so impressive."

Li Yushu winced in pain, but when he looked up and saw it was her, his arrogance immediately subsided by a third. He forced himself to speak:

"Jia... Commander Jia, this is none of your business! This guy sold his wife to pay off his debts, I paid for her, it was a mutual agreement! And he turned around and injured her, is there no law anymore!"

Jia Baihu sneered, "The law? Let me tell you about the law."

She paused, her voice suddenly turning cold: "According to the county government's registration rules, all deeds of mortgage have a two-day deadline. If the money can be raised within two days, the person can be redeemed. Only after the deadline can they be resold. I ask you, when were his two wives sold to the gambling den?"

Li Yushu's face stiffened, and he stammered, "It was...it was yesterday..."

"Yesterday?" Jia Baihu's voice wasn't loud, but every word was firm and authoritative. "Then today, it's still within the two-day deadline. By what right do you have to force a sale?"

"I...I'll pay double!" Li Yushu roared defiantly.

"Within the time limit, the highest bidder becomes a prostitute, and a live contract as collateral is for redemption." Commander Jia's eyes flashed coldly. "What, you want to trample on the rules set by the county magistrate?"

"I..." Li Yushu was so choked up that he couldn't say a word.

No matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't dare to openly defy the rules of the government, especially since the other party was a military officer with military power.

"Can I take him with me?" Qi Shan asked the casino manager.

The casino manager nodded frantically.

Qi Shan took off his patched cotton-padded coat and draped it over Lin Wan's torn clothes, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Lin Wan and Su Yue, still shaken, followed closely behind Qi Shan, one on each side, their eyes filled with complex emotions as they looked at his broad back.

Is this man still the same cowardly and incompetent husband they know?

"You just wait!" Behind him, Li Yushu's venomous gaze pierced the air as he muttered, "I'll remember this! I'll make sure you pay!"

As Qi Shan walked out of the casino, the cold wind outside made Lin Wan and Su Yue shiver, and tears of fear finally streamed down their faces.

Qi Shan stopped and turned to look at the female officer and the soldiers behind her.

"Thank you." He solemnly clasped his hands in thanks.

"No need, I was just passing by and returning a favor."

She gave Qi Shan a deep look, then glanced at the two trembling women behind him, and suddenly said, "Be careful. Li Yushu is a petty and vindictive man, and his brother is a border army officer."

Qi Shan smiled.

Border Army Officer?

Shit is not!
