Chapter 2

  The sun is setting in the west, and the grass, trees, and mountains are becoming increasingly stained with blood.

  From south to north, a team of people came slowly along the mountain road. There were about a dozen or so people, with a delicate carriage in the middle, and sword-bearing soldiers guarding it at the front and back. In front of the procession, two tall horses walked side by side.

  "Lin Shaoshuai, this time were escorting the young masters fiancée, and there are many bandits lurking in Qingniu Mountain, so we must be extra careful." said Huang San Yuan on horseback.

  "Mountain bandits..." Lin Shaoyu sneered with disdain: "If they dont come, thats fine. But if they dare to come, Ill let them see the ferocity of my iron spear. With a smooth and peaceful journey, my iron spear has been itching for action."

  "Its also thanks to Lin Shaoyou that weve made it this far, but this time sending Miss Su to Blackstone City to marry the young master is a big deal, so lets be more careful." Huang San Yuan.

  "Huang Guan is too cautious, were doing things for the city master, who dares to rob us? Doesnt he want to live? Haha." The infantrymen walking laughed loudly.

  In the thicket, Xu Shenji and Cheng Dali were hiding. Xu Shenji said: "Young Master - no, Eldest Young Master, its going to be dark soon, I reckon nobody will pass by, lets withdraw."

  "Wait." Cheng Daire bit his grass root, the system required him to complete the first robbery before sunset, he had to do it before sunset. Although the system didnt mention it, who knew what would happen if the task failed.

  Dada...

  The sound of horseshoes came from afar, and Cheng Dalais eyes lit up: "Theyre here."

  "Theyve arrived, but the number of people..." Xu Shenjis face was bitter as he counted them one by one. The other side had at least thirteen men, all wearing leather armor: "Master, retreat! Dont be impulsive, whatever you do, dont be impulsive."

  "I understand your feelings." Cheng Da Lei flipped over and mounted his horse: "But I am willing to live and die with you."

  "But I dont want to."

  Xu Shenji let out a low curse, gazing at the approaching cavalry, his heart racing. He suddenly gritted his teeth, drew out the short knife from his waist, and stabbed it into the thin horses buttocks.

  A lean horse galloped wildly, like a fierce gust of wind, charging straight at the fleet.

  "Halt! I am the Toad King of Toad Mountain Fortress. Those who dont want to die, hurry up and escape!"

  Xu Shenji, although old, had a bright voice. One shout echoed in all directions, and the birds took flight in shock. Not only was his voice good, but he also ran very quickly. As soon as he finished shouting, he turned around and fled to the back.

  "Sorry, young master, I still have a daughter to raise, Ill burn paper money for you in the future."

  Cheng Dalai was anxiously controlling the out-of-control thin horse, while secretly giving Xu Shenji the middle finger in his heart. Betraying me is one thing, but whats with this title of "Hedge King", its not even worth mentioning.

  He finally stopped his lean horse and arrived right in front of the cavalry, a group of people drew out their sabers, with the tips pointing at themselves, each person had an expression of astonishment.

  "Really, just you alone?" Huang San Yuan found it hard to believe.

  Looking at the blade radiating a cold glow, Cheng Dairen felt that being deleted by the system might be a good option.

  " Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am not the Toad King." Cheng Dalai took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "I am Xu Shenji, the Jade-Faced Scholar, spare my life and leave some money for my family!"

  Huang San Yuan finally digested this unbelievable information. The mountain bandits had only one person, and they were going to rob his entire caravan.

  "Do you know who we are? Young man, life is not easy, dont seek death." Huang San said with a heavy heart.

  The surrounding soldiers burst out laughing, their iron knives slapping against the scabbards with a clang.

  At this time, a head popped out of the carriage, a smooth and delicate goose egg face, skin that was tender to the touch, and big glasses. Seeing Cheng Darui didnt make her smile or show fear, she just stared at him with her big eyes.

  Cheng Dairens heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "There are actually women in this world who are so breathtakingly beautiful."

  Dudu, hidden task triggered, snatch the wife of the village head

  The tasks difficulty exceeds your current abilities; you can refuse to accept it.

  Cheng Dalais heart skipped a beat as he knew that hidden tasks were usually difficult to trigger and often had high difficulty, but once completed, the rewards were also very rich.

  Damn it! Succeed and have a grand wedding, fail and move to a new house with a chopped head. Without this kind of guts, whats the point of being an outlaw? Ive taken on this task.

  "Dont laugh, dont laugh." Lin Shaoyu struggled to hold back his smile: "Its not easy for a thief to come, and youre going to scare him away again. Ive got it, this thief is mine to deal with, no one else is allowed to interfere."

  "All along the way, Ive been hearing about Lin Shaoyes exploits, and this time I finally have the chance to see him with my own eyes."

  "Lin Shaoyou be careful, dont accidentally kill him, or we wont have anything to watch."

  Lin Shaoyu urged his horse forward, holding an iron spear in his hand: "Little thief, as long as you can walk under my spear for three rounds, I will spare your life."

  Cheng Daire focused his attention on Lin Shaoyu, and information about him appeared in his mind.

  Name: Lin Shaoyu (An ordinary wandering swordsman who has just emerged from his humble abode)

  Skill: Wave-Piercing Spear

  Hidden attribute: A man who aspires to be a great hero

  "With Cheng Da Leis years of gaming experience, ordinary, excellent, top-notch, extraordinary, legendary... Lin Shaoyu is the lowest level of ordinary. You say youre a blank slate hero, what are you boasting about? I thought you were some kind of super genius."

  "Ill behead the nameless ghost with my axe, who are you? Report your name!" Cheng Da Lei observed the surrounding situation, thinking of a plan, while quietly urging his horse to shorten the distance with Lin Shao Yu.

  "Guangling, Lin Shaoyu." Lin Shaoyu stood up straight, showing respect to his enemy was a basic requirement for being a great hero. Then he thought it impolite not to return the visit and asked: "Which one are you, the Toad King or the Jade-faced Scholar?"

  "Us...". Cheng Daire looked at Lin Shaoyus serious expression, scratching his head with his hand: "Or, Yong Chun, Ye Wen?"

  "Huh?"

  Lin Shaoyus eyes widened, among the 188 cities of the Empires thirteen states, he had never heard of a place called Yongchun, and this surname... was also somewhat strange.

  At this moment, the two horses heads were together, Lin Shaoyu was already within the range of Cheng Dairens axe attack. He swung his big hand, and the axe chopped towards Lin Shaoyus head.

  "Ill chop your head off!"

  He swung his axe in a fixed trajectory, as if he had practiced this move countless times. Lin Shaoyu was stunned, wondering whether he should say something like "Ive long admired you" to avoid being ridiculed for not understanding the rules of the Jianghu, even though he had never heard of this name before. Suddenly, the axe arrived, and Lin Shaoyu hastily raised his spear to block it, but the axe was heavy and the spear was light, and with Cheng Dalais intentional or unintentional move, one swing of the axe sent Lin Shaoyu tumbling off his horse.

  He patted the horse and jumped onto the carriage, kicking the coachman down with one foot. He stabbed the axe into the horses buttocks, and the fierce horse let out a loud whinny, rushing forward like a tank. The axe in his hand swung back and forth, forcing its way out of the encirclement.

  "Chase them! Chase after them! Youve run away, young mistress, and youll all die!" Huang San Yuan shouted loudly on horseback.

  The soldiers around were stunned and still hadnt come back to their senses, how inexplicably this little thief had kidnapped the young lady.

  Lin Shaoyang got up from the ground, turned over and mounted his horse, grasping the gun tightly in his hand, he vowed to wipe out the shame of this sneak attack.

  Ding! First robbery mission completed, reward: 1 lottery draw chance.

  Dudu, the first stage of snatching the wife of the village head is completed, reward...
