Hong Zhenjies face showed a hint of a smile as he withdrew his gaze from Qing Yu and swept it towards Teng Yunlong and Teng Qingshan.

  "Joining the White Horse Camp, isnt that just being a bandit?" Teng Yongxiang said with a frown, lowering his voice.

  Teng Yunlong was worried and looked at Teng Qingshan beside him: "Qingshan, what do you think we should do?"

  "This White Horse Camp is not so easy to deal with." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself.

  Just as the Tunjia people were discussing it enthusiastically.

  "Many people dream of entering the White Horse Camp, this is a rare opportunity." The cavalry beside Hong Zhenjie pointed to the twelve sturdy men without armor, "Look at them, these twelve brothers are the ones who were just selected from the five villages! Each village has someone joining the White Horse Camp, wont Tengjiazhuang be an exception?"

  The implication of this sentence was threatening, and Teng Qing Shan and others could naturally hear it.

  "Too presumptuous!" Teng Yunlong cupped his hands and boomed, "We men of the Teng Family Village cant bear to leave our clan, the Teng Family Village..."

  "Shut up!" The cavalryman who spoke yelled angrily, and his warhorse suddenly moved forward a few steps. The long spear in his hand stabbed down.

  "Hmmph!"

  Teng Qing Shan grasped the gun handle with one hand, looked up at the cavalryman and said: "Brother from White Horse Camp, lets not talk about whether anyone from Teng Family Village will join White Horse Camp today. My grandfather is the patriarch of the Teng clan, and hes not someone you can bully or kill! If you dare to touch my grandfather today, the Teng clan will make sure you dont leave this place!"

  "Dare to hit my grandfather, youre looking for death." Teng Qinghu also roared.

  "You really think our Tunjia Village is easy to bully!"

  "Ill beat you to death!"

  The men of Hengs village were all armed and had a fierce glint in their eyes, as if they would fight at the slightest disagreement.

  "You——" The cavalryman fiercely pulled the long spear twice, but the long spear in Teng Qing Shans hand didnt budge. Suddenly, Teng Qing Shan relaxed his grip, and the cavalryman involuntarily swayed backward, almost falling off his horse. He grabbed the reins to steady himself, looking quite disheveled.

  Hong Qingshan looked at him coldly.

  Hong Zhenjie, the second-in-command of the White Horse Gang, was shocked when he saw this scene: "This Teng Qing Shan is indeed famous for a reason. Ah Yan, this little kid, has been trained by his father and has internal strength. He can actually hold onto the gun stock without moving. It seems that two years ago, the rumors about Teng Qing Shan being on par with the second-in-command of the Iron Mountain Gang were true!" Glancing at the entire Teng clan, "In a battle against the Iron Mountain Gang, my White Horse Gang suffered significant losses. Its best if we dont suffer any more losses, otherwise, if it really comes down to a fight, wiping out the Teng Family Village would likely cost my White Horse Camp more than half of its men!"

  The White Horse Camp is indeed elite, paired with heavy armor and war horses.

  Even Wang Tiehai, the third master of Tieshan Gang, was killed in one charge. The other two masters of Tieshan Gang could only escape and avoid its edge. This can be imagined how terrible Baima Ying is.

  Once a hundred multi-charge cavalry charges up, its not difficult to sweep away the Tramp Family Village.

  "Haha, Teng Qing Shan, not bad," Hong Zhen Jie laughed and said, "If you join my White Horse Camp, your Teng Family Villages annual taxes will be exempted too. How about it? I can let you become the new leader of White Horse Camp!" What Hong Zhen Jie needed most now was a true expert.

  Baima Ying leader?

  "Xie Shao thinks highly of me as a host, but I, Qing Shan, am homesick and do not want to go to White Horse Lake for the time being." Teng Qing Shan said with a bow.

  Teng Qing Shan is betting!

  The White Horse Village is now in crisis, and Xiao Dangjia Hong Zhenjie cannot bear to waste his elite troops at Teng Family Village.

  "Haha……" Sitting on his war horse, Hong Zhenjie burst out laughing, "Alright, whenever you want to join my White Horse Gang in the future, just go! Today... I wont bother with your Teng Family Village either." As soon as he said this, many people from Teng Family Village let out a sigh of relief, but Teng Qingshan and Teng Yunlong looked puzzled.

  The White Horse Temple is actually the Earth Emperor Temple.

  When have you ever seen Baima gang being soft? Have you ever seen Baima gang reason things out?

  If were talking about reason, then its not the White Horse anymore.

  "Teng Qing Shan, whats the name of that girl behind you?" Hong Zhen Jie suddenly said.

  Hong Qingshans face changed color.

  Behind her, Qing Yu immediately grabbed onto Qing Shans clothes and hid behind him.

  "She is my sister." Teng Qing Shan stared at Hong Zhen Jie.

  "What are you doing asking this little girl?" Tribe leader Fu Yunlong said in a low voice.

  Hong Zhenjie, however, was not bothered by Teng Qing Shans gaze. He laughed and said: "Your sister? Hmm, as a brother, he is a man of honor, and as a sister, she is beautiful and elegant. Today, I, Hong Zhenjie, will swallow my pride and propose to the Teng family that your sister marry me as a concubine. What do you think?"

  "Too young." Teng Yongfan was anxious, "My daughter is already engaged." He could only use a lie to stall for the time being.

  "Is there something going on? Get rid of it! If you cant get rid of it, tell me who the man is and Ill go kill him." Hong Zhenjie smiled lightly, "As my woman, from now on, you will have endless wealth and glory."

  "I wont marry you!" Qing Yu shouted loudly.

  Hong Zhenjies eyes lit up and he smiled: "Sounds good." He then glanced at the Teng clan elder, "Elder Teng, what do you think?"

  "Qing Yu already has a marriage arranged, its really not possible." Teng Yunlong also refuted with this reason.

  Hong Zhenjies face turned gloomy, and he coldly scanned the group of people from Tengjiazhuang: "Im Hong Zhenjie. Today, Ive given enough face to you people from Tengjiazhuang. Dont think that my temper is good. You all listen clearly: this woman will come with me. Dare to say a word... Today, Ill make a bloodbath in your Tengjiazhuang!"

  At once, the White Horse Camp cavalry immediately advanced forward.

  Everyone in the village of Hengjiazhuang was suddenly worried.

  "Hmm." Hong Zhenjies face turned gloomy.

  In Hong Zhenjies view, his father is dead, so he, Hong Zhenjie, is the local emperor of Yicheng, and what he says goes! The women in Tengjiacun are lucky if he takes a liking to them. Today, he also pretended to be a gentleman for a while, but unexpectedly, Tengjiacun didnt give him face. Hong Zhenjie was furious.

  "Who cares about him? Just kill them all! At most, well lose some White Horse Camp brothers. Humph, my White Horse Gang still has at least 6,000 core disciples! Those small gangs, dare to rebel?" Hong Zhenjie grew up in a bandits den, with a bandit-like aura.

  Act on impulse, dont care about anything, kill first and talk later.

  "Qing Shan!" Teng Yongfan looked at Teng Qing Shan.

  "Qing Shan, what do you think we should do?" Teng Yunlong lowered his voice, "If we take action... are we sure?"

  Got it?

  If they make a move at Teng Family Village, this hundred or so heavy cavalry from Baima Camp will charge forward. Itll take some time for Teng Qing Shan to kill all these people. By then, I reckon many of our tribesmen would have died.

  "Brother." Qing Yu pulled at Teng Qing Shans clothes.

  Hong Qing Shan turned his head to look at his sister, Qing Yus face was full of tears, she seemed to have also felt the future becoming darker.

  "Little Rain, do you believe in me? No matter what decision I make, will you always trust me?" Teng Qing Shan looked at Qing Yu.

  "Hmm." Teng Qingyu gritted her teeth, "Ill listen to you, brother."

  Teng Qing Shan held Teng Qing Yus hand and looked up at Hong Zhen Jie, who was exuding a strong aura: "Young master, actually, my sister is still underage. Even if they get married, it should be after she comes of age. Moreover, this matter of marriage should be decided by the parents. Otherwise, lets go to my house and sit down for a good talk about this, how about that?"

  Hong Zhenjies eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Fine, Id like to hear what you have to say!"

  Hong Zhenjie led the large group of people and horses along the road in the village, heading towards Teng Qings home. Teng Qing, Teng Yunlong, Teng Yongfan and others followed closely behind.

  ……

  "Whats Qing Shan actually selling in his gourd?" Many of the villagers looked towards Qing Shans home with suspicion and doubt.

  "Qingshan, he wont let Qingyu marry out, will he?" Some of their clansmen worried.

  There were also elderly people in the clan who sighed and said, "What else can be done? Fortunately, Qingyu is formally married to that young master, so in the future, she wont have to suffer much guilt."

  "Whats going on here? How can Qing Yu marry that young master?"

  ……

  In the main hall of the Hong Qingshans house, there were many people seated. In the courtyard, it was packed with White Horse Camp soldiers holding weapons.

  "Speak." Hong Zhenjie sat down with his legs crossed, looking around at the people nearby.

  Hong Qingshan smiled and said, "Since Shao Dangjia thinks so highly of marrying my younger sister, you must show your sincerity. We wont discuss the betrothal gifts for now, but at least, we should set a good wedding date, and then come to welcome the bride."

  Teng Qing Shan felt that Qing Yus grip on his hand tightened.

  "Green Mountain!" Many people looked at Qing Shan and were very surprised.

  "Marriage proposal?" Hong Zhenjie took a glance at Ceng Qingyu who was crying with tears streaming down her face.

  According to his temper, it would be fine to just take Qingyu away directly. Who needs a welcoming ceremony anyway?...

  "This girl, really moves my heart. And her brother is a master, I marry his sister, he wont become my younger brother-in-law? Later, let him join my White Horse Gang." Hong Zhenjie thought to himself, marrying a beautiful girl and also getting a master, whats not to be happy about?

  "Haha... alright then, lets set a date." Hong Zhenjie burst out laughing.

  "Grandfather, what day is auspicious for us to set out?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Yunlong said calmly: "March 16th is a good day."

  "Isnt that in a few days?" Hong Zhenjie shook his head, "The day after tomorrow, March 9th, isnt that a good day? The day after tomorrow, when the time comes, Ill come to welcome you personally."

  "Alright, day after tomorrow." Teng Qing Shan nodded.

  "Haha!" Hong Zhenjie burst out laughing, "Teng Qing Shan, my big uncle... then Ill come the day after tomorrow, personally bring people to welcome you. You must go to my place to drink at the wedding."

  "Of course, since youve personally invited me, Master, how could I dare not go?" Cui Qing Shan replied.

  "Alright." Hong Zhenjie stood up and didnt greet anyone else. He turned around directly and said, "Brothers, lets go!"

  Seeing Hong Zhenjie and others leave, some people in the main room started making a commotion.

  "Qingshan, what were you thinking? How could you let your sister marry that young master?" Yuan Lan asked anxiously.

  Teng Yunlong also asked in doubt: "Qingshan, are you really going to let your sister marry him?" Teng Yongfan was also looking at Teng Qingshan.

  "Brother!" Qing Yu looked at Teng Qing Shan, who was holding his sisters hand and comforted her, "Little Rain, its okay, trust me."

  "This wedding, isnt it scheduled for the day after tomorrow?" Teng Qing Shan said.

  "The day after tomorrow, it will arrive soon." Yuan Lan said hastily.

  "But Hong Zhenjie wont last another day." Teng Qing Shan turned his head to look outside, "Listening to the sound of horseshoes, a group of people from the White Horse Camp should have left Teng Family Village by now."

  Inside the hall, there were only a few outsiders, namely Teng Yongfan and his wife, Teng Qingyu, and Teng Yunlong. The others were all blocked outside and not allowed to enter.

  "Qing Shan, what are you going to do?" Teng Yongfan and the others all sensed that something was off.

  "Im going out for a bit." Teng Qing Shan smiled slightly, didnt take the Wheel Return Gun, and launched the Sky Edge Walk. His entire body suddenly turned into an illusory shadow, disappearing in the courtyard in an instant, then reappeared on the rooftop of a distant house. With another flash, his figure had vanished from Teng Yun Longs line of sight.
