I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1797 The fish takes the bait

The quiet afternoon was suddenly broken by the sound of hooves of five hundred cavalrymen. This guard army from the Zheng family approached Taoyuan Village like a gust of wind.

At the front of the team, Deputy Commander Haval was handsome and heroic, riding a majestic warhorse, leading the team forward rapidly with a firm look in his eyes, facing the unknown ahead without any fear.

Next to Haval, Huang Silang was riding a large red horse. His posture was a little funny, almost standing upright on the horse's back. There was a trace of pain on his face, but he was forcing himself to endure it.

"Aren't you tired of riding like this?" Haval's voice came from the helmet. Although the voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the silent march.

Huang Silang rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart. He wanted to scold Harver, but thinking of the purpose of his trip, he could only suppress his anger. His butt was already so painful from being beaten, and it would be unbearable if it was rubbed by the saddle? Didn't he want to sit down and ride properly? But he had to sit down.

"Commander Hafu, when we get there, have your people kill all those troublemakers and leave that man to me. I'm going to torture him." Huang Silang said gritting his teeth, with sparks of revenge flashing in his eyes.

"No. I can help you get revenge, but I can't massacre the whole village. The head of the family will be furious." However, Harver rejected him without hesitation, his tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Hafu had always looked down on Huang Silang, but he was willing to help him only because Huang Silang's sister had done him a favor.

Seeing that Harvard decisively rejected his request, Huang Silang felt extremely angry and disappointed.

But he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew very well that Haval was a mercenary with many lives lost and was brutal by nature. If he really provoked him, he might lose his life.

The speed of the guards was as swift as the wind. They rushed past like wild beasts with a strong murderous aura. Their figures cast a long shadow in the sunlight, like a black lightning, shuttling through the mountains and forests, and finally arrived at their destination, Taoyuan Village.

The Zheng family guards were obviously elite soldiers, marching in unison, as if they had undergone careful training, and every step they took seemed powerful and firm. Their armor gleamed in the sun, like an indestructible barrier that tightly surrounded the entire village.

At this moment, the little girl who was rescued by Liu Jun earlier had a look of fear and anxiety on her face. Her eyes were flashing with fear, and her steps were hurried and flustered. She ran towards Liu Jun's house, shouting, "Big brother, big brother, something big has happened!"

At this time, the tranquility of Taoyuan Village had been broken and it seemed a little panicked.

When Liu Jun heard the little girl's cry, he immediately rushed out and caught the little girl who rushed over. He gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't panic, don't panic, what's wrong?"

The little girl looked at Liu Jun, her eyes full of trust and dependence. She panted and said hurriedly, "Brother, come here. There are a lot of bad guys on big horses. The village chief asked you to run with us. He organized some people to hold them off for a while."

Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry, and her face was full of panic, which formed a sharp contrast with Liu Jun's calm expression.

"Don't worry, it's okay, big brother is here," Liu Jun comforted softly.

Liu Jun's voice seemed like a warm force, slowly flowing into the little girl's heart, gradually stabilizing her emotions.

Before, there was fear flashing in the little girl's big eyes, but after hearing Liu Jun's words, the fear seemed to be dispelled, her little body stopped trembling, and a hint of firmness returned to her eyes.

As Liu Jun approached, the scene at the entrance of the village became clearer. The villagers were either holding hoes or sickles, and some elderly people were even leaning on crutches, but they all had firm looks on their faces, standing there fearlessly, like soldiers guarding their territory.

"Who are you?"

Deputy Commander Harver sat on a tall horse with a burly figure. His eyes were like a cold sword, piercing at the old village chief.

Although the old village chief was old, his aura was not diminished at all. Although he was leaning on a cane, his body was straight, his eyes were bright, and he stared directly at Deputy Commander Harvard and glared back at him without fear.

"I am the old chief of Taoyuan Village. All the villagers on this land belong to the Zheng family. Your Zheng family's guards are rampant in our territory. Aren't you afraid that the head of the Zheng family will hold you accountable?" The old village chief's voice was loud and firm.

Deputy Commander Harver's eyes changed slightly, his brows slightly frowned, his gaze swept across the villagers' faces, and finally fell back on the old village chief.

This was the first time he encountered villagers who dared to resist. He originally thought of just killing the man Huang Silang mentioned, but it seemed a bit difficult to do so.

If he killed all these villagers, it would be called a village massacre. He had originally mobilized the troops privately. If the head of the family knew about the village massacre, no one would be able to save him.

"Old village chief, if you don't want so many villagers to be buried with you, hand over the man who bullied Mr. Huang. I promise that you will all be fine," Deputy Commander Harvard said after thinking for a while.

"No one here bullies Huang Silang, but Huang Silang is too much of a bully on us. The farmland tax is 70%, and how much do we collect in total?" The old village chief looked at Huang Silang, who was also riding a big horse, his eyes full of hatred.

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't even pay such a small amount of tax, so why are you still alive?" Huang Silang's voice echoed in the empty village, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"I will definitely live longer than a bastard like you." However, the old village chief was not someone who was easily intimidated, and he retorted without any hesitation.

The words of the old village chief were full of determination and courage, but this behavior really made some people secretly sweat for him. Huang Silang was extremely angry and swung a whip, trying to crush the old village chief with violence. However, he did not expect that this whip did not achieve the desired effect.

At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, a flash of cold light passed by, and the whip broke. This scene surprised everyone. Deputy Commander Harver's pupils shrank suddenly, and the first thought in his mind was that there was a master present.

This move was as fast as lightning, and he didn't even have time to react. This showed that the opponent's strength was probably higher than his.

At this time, Deputy Commander Harvard was filled with shock and curiosity, and wanted to know who this master was.

Huang Silang was also startled, and looked around, then he saw Liu Jun walking slowly. The moment he saw Liu Jun, Huang Silang trembled with fear.

Under countless gazes, Liu Jun slowly walked in front of the crowd and looked up at Huang Silang, his eyes full of indifference and disdain. "Huang Silang, Mr. Huang, we meet again."

His voice was calm and firm, as if everything that had just happened was just a small episode to him, and these cavalry were just a bunch of broken dogs that were not worth his second glance.

Huang Silang's eyes were filled with fear, but also with a hint of unyielding light. He knew that at this moment, he was like a candle swaying in the wind, and could be blown out by the ruthless wind at any time. But he was Huang Silang, and he had 500 cavalrymen and Deputy Commander Harford behind him. He could not be frightened so easily.

"Harvard, it's this guy who bullied me." Huang Silang's voice trembled a little.

Hafer didn't answer, but just looked at the man silently, his eyes full of vigilance.

In fact, Huang Silang didn't need to tell him, he knew that this man was the master who defeated Huang Silang.

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether something is good or not just by looking at its movements. Liu Jun's aura is so strong that it is like a bright light in the middle of the night, which cannot be ignored.

"Come, come down. It's uncomfortable for me to look up like this." Liu Jun looked at Huang Silang and said lightly.

His voice was calm, yet full of irresistible power.

Huang Silang's body trembled involuntarily, and his heart was filled with fear. But when he thought of his strong army, he became more courageous.

"You, just go down if you say so. Why should I listen to you?" Huang Silang shouted bravely. His voice was trembling but full of determination.

Seeing Huang Silang's bluffing look, Liu Jun found it funny and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and almost laughed out loud.

"Just because you peed your pants before," Liu Jun laughed.

Huang Silang's face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt. He no longer cared about being afraid and his anger erupted like a volcano.

"Go ahead, capture him. Kill everyone else without mercy. Massacre the whole village, massacre the whole village!"

The muscles on Huang Silang's face twitched, and his eyes widened as if they were about to jump out of their sockets. He roared and ordered the guards to take action at the top of his lungs, his tone full of ruthlessness and cruelty.

However, the guards were as still as statues. Their eyes were cold and indifferent, because they only obeyed military orders, and they did not know Huang Silang.

This scene made Huang Silang feel confused and desperate. He stood there in a daze, at a loss for a moment. However, he did not have time to think about it, because immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain, and his arm was twisted by a huge force, making a teeth-grinding sound.

"Ah!" Huang Silang screamed in pain, his body curled up involuntarily, his face was pale, cold sweat and tears mixed together and slid down his cheeks.

His body was shaking as if he was in great pain.

Deputy Commander Harford looked at this scene, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and began to issue orders, but his orders were completely different from Huang Silang's.

"Go, arrest him, and try not to harm the lives of other villagers." Deputy Commander Harver's voice was steady and firm, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

The guards heard the order and took action immediately, but they did not rush in recklessly as Huang Silang expected, but acted in an organized and orderly manner. They had a clear goal and went straight to Liu Jun, and when dealing with other villagers, they tried to use non-violent means to avoid hurting them.

The sound of "da da da" echoed in the air like thunder, and the Zheng family's cavalry rushed in like a tide. Their speed was extremely fast, like an unstoppable sharp arrow. However, what was unexpected was that the speed at which they fell was also as fast as lightning.

Liu Jun's figure was like a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, and he instantly rushed into the crowd of cavalrymen. His movements were swift and accurate, and each movement was full of power and lethality. In less than two minutes, the cavalrymen who were originally charging fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Liu Jun could have killed them and completely defeated them, making sure they would never rise again. However, when he saw that they did not hurt the innocent villagers, he decided to hold back.
