After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Hongfeng County outskirts.

Zhou Qiu pointed to a mountain, "This is our territory."

An hour later, after passing another mountain, Zhou Qiu said again, "This is also our territory."

"These fields you see now also belong to us, and they should produce tens of thousands of bushels of grain every year."

"Our family also runs the ferry and freight services on this river."

"There are also about ten counties nearby, but I won't take you to see places that are too far away. Just remember, any shop with our family crest on its signboard belongs to our family."

After half a day, Yin Cheng was numb.

Good heavens, Tian Hai has practically monopolized the entire territory of Red Maple County.

No wonder he's so arrogant; he really is a local tyrant.

"Brother Da Hu, we're going to a mountain stronghold next," Zhou Qiu said. "Take your weapons, there's bound to be a fight."

"Collecting debts?" Yin Cheng asked.

Zhou Qiu said, "No, this mountain stronghold is a bit troublesome. Let's talk about it on the way."

"drive--"

Two fine horses galloped one after the other into the depths of the forest.

According to Zhou Qiu, Yan Zhen, the leader of Longyin Village, was acting strangely and insisted on opposing Tian Hai.

Not only did he repeatedly thwart their plans, but his martial arts style was also very unpredictable, making him unbeatable by ordinary martial artists.

This person has always been a major concern for Tian Hai.

Yin Cheng suddenly realized that he had come to avenge Tian Hai.

"Brother Da Hu, if you can destroy this Dragon Roar Village, it will be a great achievement for you. The reward that Master Hai will give you will be more than just a little bit."

As Zhou Qiu spoke, he parted the grass and trees, revealing the gate of the mountain stronghold not far away.

Yin Cheng seemed to be persuaded, his face full of eagerness, and said, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

"I'll be waiting for you here," Zhou Qiu said. "Brother Da Hu, if you can take Yan Zhen's head, you'll become the second-in-command of my Tian family."

After finishing the flatbread Zhou Qiu had painted, Yin Cheng picked up his knife and crouched down to head towards the mountain stronghold.

This Dragon Roar Stronghold is different from the Blood Blade Gang that Lan Shu was pretending to be; it can be considered a genuine martial arts sect.

As Yin Cheng sat on the roof of the Hall of Righteousness, pondering how to gain Tian Hai's trust without killing anyone, someone suddenly sat down next to him.

The man tossed his small wine jar, "Want a drink?"

Yin Cheng said, "Give me some."

The man handed him one of the small wine jars. "Which road are you from?"

Yin Cheng said, "Now it's Tian Hai's group."

The man nodded, but didn't make a move. Instead, he leisurely unsealed the red seal on the wine jar, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp.

"What did he say?"

Yin Cheng said, "He ordered me to kill Yan Zhen."

The person beside him said, "I am Yan Zhen."

Yin Cheng said "Oh," tore open the red seal, and took a big gulp. "Good wine."

Yan Zhen said proudly, "Of course, this is wine brewed by my husband himself."

Yin Cheng scoffed, "As if everyone has a husband. My husband can even sew cloth balls."

"Haha." Yan Zhen laughed heartily, "Where did that bastard Tian Hai find you? You're much more interesting than the previous ones."

Yin Cheng's eyelids twitched slightly. "Really?"

Yan Zhen said, "Your martial arts are better than mine. If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime. But you can't touch the people in this village."

"Are you trying to talk to me about morality?" Yin Cheng pointed to himself. "I'm a wanted criminal who's killed countless people."

This time it was Yan Zhen's turn to sneer, "Although I, Yan, am not very literate, I am quite good at judging people."

He looked Yin Cheng up and down. "You don't look like a bad person."

Yin Cheng tilted his head back and took a sip of wine without saying a word.

"Do you know what that bastard Tian Hai has done in Red Maple County?" Yan Zhen's question carried a probing tone. "Why are you helping him?"

In Yan Zhen's view, the person in front of him who could sneak into the mountain stronghold silently was no ordinary person.

If we were to kill him, taking his head would be as easy as turning my hand.

But he did nothing at all; he just sat quietly on the roof ridge of the Juyi Hall, lost in thought.

He didn't even try to hide his presence; he just blatantly appeared before everyone.

Yan Zhen instinctively felt that this person was very different from the people Tian Hai had sent before.

"I know." Yin Cheng pretended not to notice the probing in Yan Zhen's tone. He said, "Because Tian Hai gave me the money. I'm a person who values ​​money more than anything."

Yan Zhen was shocked by such a straightforward reason. "You're short of money?"

"I'm short of supplies." Yin Cheng finished his wine in a few gulps, put down the wine jar, and drew the knife from his waist. "Since we're here, Boss, how about we get our hands on each other?"

Yan Zhen also wielded a knife, and upon encountering Yin Cheng, who also used a knife, he naturally wanted to have a friendly spar.

"Come on!" Yan Zhen's blood boiled, and he slammed the wine jar down. With a "bang," the pottery shards shattered and scattered all over the ground.

A husband stood under the eaves, hands on his hips, roaring, "Yan Zhen, so you think you can just litter because you're not the one sweeping?!"

Yan Zhen quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I'll scan it in a bit, I'll scan it in a bit."

The husband then returned to his room, satisfied.

Wow, her family status is crystal clear.

Yin Cheng felt deep sympathy, "So it turns out the head of the household is henpecked."

Yan Zhen explained palely, "They're brothers, you know how it is."

Yin Cheng looked at him with pity, "You're so pitiful. My husband would never be mean to me."

Yan Zhen: "...You don't understand, this is the weight of my husband's love for me."

Yin Cheng nodded. "It is indeed heavy."

My daughter Niannian never scolds me; she just sweetly calls me "husband," hehe.

Yan Zhen was stung by Yin Cheng's smug expression. "Kid, don't be so arrogant. Let's have a go."

The two fought from the rooftop to the courtyard, and then from the courtyard out of the village.

Zhou Qiu was secretly observing, but he didn't know whether the two were doing it intentionally or unintentionally. During the fight, they got closer and closer to the bushes where he was.

The sharp blade flashed, cutting through the surrounding vegetation, and Zhou Qiu, who had been hiding in the shadows, was instantly exposed to Yan Zhen's sight.

Yan Zhen naturally recognized Tian Hai's number one lackey.

He sneered, his expression turning cold in an instant.

He suddenly turned and slashed at Zhou Qiu with his sword.

After realizing what was happening, Zhou Qiu quickly ran down the mountain.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were no match for Yan Zhen's, and he couldn't even dodge in time.

At the critical moment, Yin Cheng stepped in front of him and blocked Yan Zhen's knife.

Even though Yin Cheng arrived in time, the swirling blade still managed to shave off a lock of Zhou Qiu's hair.

Yin Cheng was shocked. "Old Zhou, you're not dead, are you?!"

Zhou Qiu was completely stunned. He had never faced danger so closely before, and he was completely unable to react.

In the end, Yin Cheng carried him down the mountain.

"You're not going to play anymore?" Yan Zhen scratched his head, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Hey, I didn't get enough of it."

He turned back to the village and dutifully picked up a broom to sweep away the pottery shards.

"Who was that person just now?" Yan Fulang asked. "Your friend? I've never seen him before."

Before Yan Zhen could reply, he continued, "Honestly, why didn't you invite him to stay for a meal? You have no manners at all."

Yan Zhen said, "Oh, he's not a friend, he's someone sent by Tian Hai."

"What!" Yan Fulang exclaimed in surprise, then spat unceremoniously, "It's that beast Tian Hai again, ugh, what bad luck."
