Chapter 208 Dalong Prefecture Sixteen

208 Dalong Prefecture, Chapter Sixteen

Then, a tiger shot out from the copper hammer, startling Uncle Gao San for a moment as the copper hammer swept past him at the waist.

The force was immense, exceeding ten thousand pounds. Uncle Gao looked incredulously at the spot where his waist had been broken, with the other end already fallen to the ground.

It was severed in two, and blood spurted out, instantly staining the ground red.

Uncle Gao used all his strength, 'You'll die a horrible death. I'll haunt you even as a ghost.'

Captain Guan, his face covered in blood, neither flinched nor flinched. "I'll be waiting for you. Even as a ghost, I'll kill you again."

Then he said coldly, 'Find all the remnants of the Gao family, leave no one alive.'

Inside the Dalong Prefecture, the patriarch, undisturbed, remained behind closed doors, calmly observing the changes outside.

A rapid knocking sound came at the door, accompanied by an anxious voice. A servant's clothes appeared, "Open the door quickly! It's the Fourth Young Master! Let me in!"

His figure was hunched over, looking extremely disheveled, and he reeked of a foul stench. His shoulders were covered in mud, and he looked impatient as the door remained closed for a long time.

At this moment, however, he dared not get angry and cautiously looked around.

"Sir, the fourth young master of the Gao family has come to borrow a place. Shall we open the door?"

'This so-called fourth young master of the Gao family is definitely an imposter. No, we can't let anyone related to the Gao family in. Nobody is allowed.'

"Over here, quick, quick," came the hurried footsteps and the sounds of rushing away, the clash of swords, which quickly subsided.

...

The sounds gradually faded, blood stained the ground, houses collapsed, and high walls crumbled. It seemed to represent the ebb and flow of life once again.

The once grand mansion is now nothing but ruins, obscured by dark clouds that never concern themselves with the changes happening on earth.

Captain Guan fought battles everywhere, and soon, Dalong Prefecture had no force to resist. The army took over, the government offices, several families were wiped out, and several acting gangs were also eliminated.

Subsequently, most of the Gao family's influence in Dalong Prefecture was eliminated.

A voice shouted, and many voices shouted, 'Harboring remnants of the Gao family is a double crime; hand over the remnants of the Gao family, and all past offenses will be forgiven; capture the remnants of the Gao family, and you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver or more, up to one hundred taels!'

The sound spread throughout the streets and alleys.

A city-wide manhunt ensued, the army began to disperse, and those with more courage started to emerge from the surrounding areas.

There was a courtyard wall, and the gate was smashed open in an instant. A servant-like figure rushed out, with fair skin and delicate flesh, running at breakneck speed, holding a bloodstained dagger in his hand.

After he walked away, a neighbor secretly looked and saw that all four of them were lying on the ground, already dead.

In the distance, the fleeing people were surrounded by soldiers. The noise rose and then quickly fell silent.

On the official road, hundreds of carriages, like a long dragon, slowly headed towards the border. The wheels of the carriages kept moving forward, leaving no trace.

Yun Qingyun, Yun Su, Xie Yanyan, the Shi sisters, Shang Qingxuan, and others chatted happily. Before long, time flew by, and the group quickly headed towards the main group.

Along the roadside and on the carriage, there were many boxes, some made of wood and some made of bamboo, from which came the aroma of meat and vegetables!

As dusk fell and they left Wanzhou, this was the food that Jie Yanyan and the others had prepared for Yun Qing and the others—some hot food!

Jie Yanyan said softly, "Sister Yunqing, you'll arrive at the market tomorrow. We won't see you off here; please come to Wanzhou City again when you have time."

Yun Qing nodded. "Thank you so much, Miss Jie, Miss Shi, and Miss Shang, for your hospitality. I hope you'll visit the market sometime in the future, and we can meet again then."

The group clasped their hands in greeting and parted ways. Their acquaintance was brief, and so was their separation. They had chatted happily and felt as if they had known each other for a long time. Parting is always a swift affair, and the group quickly departed, leaving behind a trail of dust on their horses.

As they approached the end of the night, on the official road, the coachman had already slowly walked back, and the soldiers drove the carriages slowly along. Torches were lit on the dark official road.

Yun Qing and the others set up camp at the pre-selected campsite. They were very skilled and prepared. Soon, a campfire was lit on the ground, and the flickering flames instantly dispelled the chill of the night.

Some children held pastries in their hands, the faint aroma of scallion oil wafting through the air. They took a small bite. They were dressed in thick, adult-sized padded coats, some of which showed signs of mending.

They waited quietly, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked around. The night air was filled with the aroma of meat and rice from the campfire, and the firewood crackled loudly.

The woman and her family members were still holding warm flatbread and braised dishes.

After such a long and arduous journey, they knew from their conversation that they would soon reach their destination and settle down there.

During such a long journey, they mainly relied on dry rations and noodles, with pickled vegetables as a side dish, and vegetables were rarely available. Occasionally, her husband would catch some wild game on the road, which she herself couldn't bear to eat, and of course, they couldn't bear to either; most of the time, this wild game was given to the children.

As we approached our destination, a slight sense of relief washed over us. We hoped for a stable environment in the future, and looked forward to a stable living space for our children to thrive and develop.

From afar, in the dark night, a bright campfire burned in the open space, its light illuminating the surroundings.

Around the campfire, some soldiers sat together, enjoying this warm moment.

The heat of the flames warms people, making them feel comfortable and safe. In the firelight, this moment is filled with warmth and intimacy, bringing peace and contentment.

Those who are married are spending precious time with their families, while those who are not married are enjoying their single lives with their comrades, a life that others envy, with a hint of longing in their eyes.

Yun Qing, Yun Su, and Yun Shuni were together, quietly gazing at the night sky. A soft voice drifted over, and Yun Su gently shook her head, 'I didn't realize Chen Lang was so tired!'

Yun Qing gently patted Yun Su's shoulder and said softly, "Yun Su is already very good. However, some people are exceptionally talented, born with innate intelligence and extraordinary abilities. This shows that you have good judgment, little sister."

After speaking, she chuckled softly, a smile that could charm a hundred hearts. Her laughter was as gentle as silk and as sweet as honey, seemingly capable of melting hearts. At that moment, her alluring demeanor was even more captivating. Her slender eyes sparkled with a crystalline light, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth outlined a charming smile.

Yun Shuni leaned gently against her general, her figure swaying gracefully with her laughter, every smile and frown exuding a captivating charm that was irresistible.

I wonder which young man will benefit from this in the future. Well, no young man is good enough for their general.

She murmured enviously, "Sister Su'er has such good taste! Her fiancé is someone you wouldn't see even once in five hundred years. Ah, if only I had a husband like that."
