Teng Family Village was filled with joy, the whole village had renovated their main gate and that night, the Teng family gathered at the martial arts training ground to set up a banquet to celebrate. For many years, the Iron Mountain Gang had gone to many villages to collect New Years money, and the people of Teng Family Village were worried...

  The arrival of Tiěshān Bāng will bring what terrible consequences.

  The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

  But todays result was a happy ending for all, and the matter was settled with 200 taels of silver. Not one person in the clan lost their life; isnt this a great joy?

  "Haha... Qing Shan." Teng Yunlong held up his wine cup, "My heart has been hanging in my throat all day, but its great, the 200 taels of silver have solved everything. Without the threat of the Iron Mountain Gang and the White Horse Gang, our Teng family can finally live a good life in Yicheng."

  In this world, being able to eat well and dress warmly like the villagers of Tunjia Village is already a good life.

  "Today, its all thanks to Qing Shan." On the side, Tun Yongxiang also smiled and raised his cup, "Qing Shan, come on, Uncle will toast you a cup, you saved my life!"

  Hong Qingshan stood up and raised his cup.

  A group of people in charge of the Teng family were seated at a table, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Teng Yunlong spoke up: "Everyone can see that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the Iron Mountain Gang and the White Horse Gang will definitely continue to fight, and the next few days in Yicheng will be quite chaotic."

  "Uh-huh." Teng Yongfan nodded, "The Iron Mountain Gang left today, but everyone needs to intensify their training and also strengthen their vigilance."

  "Uh, Qing Shan, youd better go to the Great Yan Mountain for closed-door training. If you want to train hard, go in the early morning and come back within one or two hours. Or go in the evening." Teng Yunlong also said, Teng Qing Shan nodded: "Got it, Grandpa."

  Teng Qing Shan knew that the bandits would arrive at Teng Family Village in at least two hours.

  Moreover, the robbers and bandits had to return to their lair before nightfall. Because this was in ancient times, there was no electricity, and once it got dark, it was pitch black. Unless the moon was full that night, hundreds or thousands of people and horses advancing in the darkness would be a real torment.

  So Teng Yunlong would say that. After all, Teng Qing Shan is the number one master in the clan.

  If it werent for Teng Qing Shan today, I estimate that Teng Family Village would have been extorted of 10,000 taels of silver.

  ……

  Time slipped away quietly, everything was as Yunlong expected, within the borders of Yicheng there were two major gangs, the White Horse Gang and the Iron Mountain Gang, it was impossible for things to calm down. Round after round of clashes, round after round of killings, both the White Horse Gang and the Iron Mountain Gang suffered heavy losses.

  The White Horse has many helpers and a large amount of financial reserves.

  The three masters of the Tie Shan Gang are all formidable experts.

  The great master Wang Tieshan, with one slash of his mountain-opening knife, how many masters have fallen to their deaths.

  The Second Master Wang Tie Feng, two red copper hammers, some people say that the red copper hammer is stained with fresh blood.

  Wang Tiehai, the third master of the Three Masters, wielded a fine iron spear and was also known as the number one spear expert in Yicheng.

  These three brothers, knowing the prestige of Bai Ma Bangs Hong Siye, still dared to establish a gang in Yicheng. They didnt have many means, how dare they do it? Especially since they also recruited some internal martial artists from various places. Although these internal martial artists were generally mediocre, they were quite formidable against horse bandits and thieves.

  Tieshan Gang came with great momentum and was extremely ruthless.

  And what about the White Horse Regiment?

  Hong Siye, already over 70 years old, although he has reached the peak of his acquired skills, after all, he hasnt entered the innate realm, so his physical functions naturally decline, and his fists are no longer as vigorous. Hong Siye still had a grasp on Wang Jia San brothers. But for the next three, its not possible.

  The White Horse Gang also had three leaders, but the other two leaders were far inferior to Hong Siye in terms of strength. Although they were also masters of internal energy, they were slightly weaker than the notorious Wang brothers.

  However, a camel that has died of starvation is bigger than a horse. The White Horse General helped 8,000 good men; how could it be joking?

  Moreover, Hong Siyes late-born son, the young master, is now over thirty years old and in his prime. He is also known as the second-best fighter of the White Horse Society, only inferior to Hong Siye himself.

  ……

  These two big gangs have been killing each other for many years and dont talk. The son of the Tu family is actually living a stable life.

  Before you know it, more than a year has passed and there are only a few days left until the annual festival.

  Teng Qings home is in the mountains.

  "Aunt Lan, your son Qing Shan is almost 16 years old. He can find a wife soon." A woman smiled and held Yuan Lans hand, "My niece Xiao Huan from my hometown, shes like a flower in our Da Li Zhuang. Shes 15 this year, also coming of age soon, and with your son Qing Shan, theyre a match made in heaven."

  Men become adults at 16 and women at 14. Generally, once a man becomes an adult, he can find a wife.

  "Whats Xiao Yuannan like? Ive never met her, what kind of person is she?" Yuan Lan was slightly moved.

  "That goes without saying. You ask around, Xiaoyuan is absolutely a well-behaved good kid, she will definitely be filial to her parents-in-law in the future, and wont be unable to do household chores?" The woman said continuously.

  A pretty girl who had been listening on the side wrinkled her nose and hummed, "Second sister, my brother is looking for a wife, thats not something anyone can have. At least, it has to go through me first. These past few days, those matchmakers coming to our house, theyve almost worn out our doorstep, my brother needs to choose carefully."

  "Qing Yu this child." The woman laughed, "Also right, Qing Shan, that is a good man in the territory of Yicheng, which girl does not want to marry such a man."

  "Thats it." Qing Yu nodded in satisfaction.

  "But, to tell you the truth, these two years, our Tunjiazhuangs men, one grown-up, there are not a few girls from outside the village who want to marry in. This woman also smiled and said, "My second child, those who come to propose marriage are not few either. Let alone your Qing Shan. After all, Qing Shan is indeed our Tunjiazhuangs number one good man."

  Due to the infighting between the White Horse Gang and the Iron Mountain Gang, especially the oppression by the Iron Mountain Gang.

  Causing many villagers to live in hardship.

  This comparison made Tengjiazhuang look even better. Many girls from surrounding villages wanted to marry into Tengjiazhuang.

  As for Teng Qing Shan, the number one hero in this village, his reputation is well-known outside, with all sorts of legends about him having the strength of ten thousand pounds, being able to kill a pack of wolves at the age of ten and so on... These stories have caused many girls from neighboring villages to have romantic notions. After all, in this era, people admire those brave and strong men the most.

  Suddenly——

  The gate of the courtyard creaked open and a young man holding an iron spear strode in.

  "Brother." Qing Yu quickly got up and ran out.

  "Green Mountain is back." The woman stood up and greeted warmly.

  "Second Aunt." Teng Qing Shan also smiled, "Its already noon, Second Aunt can have lunch here too."

  "Its fine, its fine." The woman seemed a bit flustered when she saw Tan Qing Shan, and smiled as she said, "My familys lunch is almost ready, Ill head back first. Alang jie... what I told you, you must consider carefully, my niece Xiao Huan is really a good girl, absolutely not bad."

  Mother Yuan Lan also smiled and sent the second daughter-in-law away.

  "Its about being a matchmaker again." Teng Qing Shan smiled helplessly.

  "Brother, I see youre in high spirits today. Whats the big joy?" Qing Yu was with Teng Qing Shan and they were close siblings, so it was easy to notice that Teng Qing Shan seemed especially happy today.

  "You can see all this." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  "Of course, you dont even know who I am. Im the sister of the number one hero in our village, Tengjiazhuang." Teng Qingyu said with a smile.

  "Uh, theres good news. But telling you wont make a difference. Oh, Dads back, lets get ready for lunch." Teng Qing Shan was in a great mood today. Starting from two years ago, Teng Qing Shan would enter the mountains every morning, when it was still dark and not yet bright, to train hard, carrying huge rocks and running in the mountains.

  After waiting for half an hour, come back to have breakfast.

  Every day, Qing Shan would either stay in his clan or practice Xingyiquan or gunplay.

  And just today, he finally broke through the last level.

  "I didnt expect that as the bodys quality gets stronger, the difficulty of opening up the meridians also increases. However, Ive finally managed to open up the last branch meridian... From today on, all the meridians in my body are completely unblocked." Teng Qing Shan felt a sense of relief in his heart, and after nearly two years of training, Teng Qing Shans strength was now even greater than it was two years ago.

  Every aspect of physical quality has improved, of course, the improvement margin is not as much as the four years with the strongest plan.

  "My current strength has increased by about 30% compared to two years ago. But who would have thought, I still cant dive deep into the bottom of that icy cold pool." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, "Today, my meridians are finally fully unblocked, starting from tomorrow, I will begin practicing the ultimate technique of my Xingyiquan - Tiger Shape Divine Technique! Once my strength has increased significantly again, Ill go explore that icy cold pool once more."

  "Green mountain." Father Deng Yongfan also sat down and was ready for lunch. "I saw your second aunt on the road just now."

  "Fan Ge, you also saw it?" Mother Yuan Lan put the rice bowl on the table and smiled, "She is here to propose a marriage for her niece. Our Qing Shan is still young and not yet an adult, but there are many girls who want to marry him, one after another, all of them beautiful as flowers."

  "Qingshan, what are you thinking? When are you planning to get married?" Teng Yongfan asked while picking up his chopsticks.
