Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Zhenyuan City, Wang Family.

Wang Qian sat on a stone bench under the eaves, his eyes fixed on the white jade cup in his hand.

The wine in the glass was fragrant and crystal clear, but he didn't drink a drop for a long time.

The thought of being forced to leave Zhenyuan City filled him with mixed feelings.

He had been living a carefree life in this city for so many years, and had long been accustomed to the pampered and spoiled lifestyle.

Now he has to slink back to the ancestral home of the Wang family in Ruzhou, looking like a stray dog. How can he be willing to accept this?

"well……"

Wang Qian let out a long sigh, his hatred for Lin Feng growing stronger.

Wang Qian has always gotten whatever he wanted; what kind of woman couldn't he have?

Unfortunately, Song Yuwei, the most beautiful courtesan, was snatched away by Lin Feng!

In order to vent his anger, he secretly colluded with the Green Snake Society to kidnap a bride, but ended up getting unwittingly involved in the major case of assassinating General Zhang Liao.

This is truly the worst luck imaginable!

"Brother!"

Wang Qian's thoughts were interrupted by a call.

Then Wang Ling, the second young master of the Wang family, strode into the courtyard with a solemn expression.

"Second brother?"

Upon seeing Wang Ling, Wang Qian felt a pang of panic.

Now, whenever he sees his father and second brother, he feels guilty, fearing that they will find out about the trouble he has caused.

He immediately tried to appear calm and asked, "Didn't you go to collect debts? Why are you back so early?"

Wang Ling shook his head, his tone grave: "Brother, something's happened, Liu Cheng is dead!"

"What?!"

Wang Qian's pupils constricted sharply, and he almost sprang up from the stone bench.

Even the tone of his voice changed.

"Liu Cheng is dead? He... how could he be dead?"

He had clearly instructed Liu Cheng to secretly pack his bags and to buy some things he would need for the journey before nightfall.

How could someone disappear in the blink of an eye?

Wang Ling frowned and said in a deep voice, "Killed with a single, clean stab in the alley!"

"Father has already sent someone to inform the authorities. I suspect someone is deliberately making trouble for our Wang family, secretly plotting against us to give us a warning!"

The Wang family has been established in Zhenyuan City for many years and has built a huge business, so it's inevitable that they've offended some people.

The death of a servant may not seem like a big deal, but it does have an eerie feel to it.

One fatal blow!

These four words struck Wang Qian like a heavy hammer, making him shudder and stagger back two steps.

"They've made their move...they've started!"

His first thought was the Green Snake Society.

It was Liu Cheng and Hou San, those two frenemy friends, who initially connected him with the Green Snake Society!

Now that things have blown up, the Green Snake Society must be afraid that he will leak the secret.

If we kill Liu Cheng first to silence him, he'll probably be next!

"No!"

Suddenly, Wang Qian grabbed Wang Ling's sleeve nervously, his eyes panicked, his voice urgent: "Second brother, you have to help me! I have to leave Zhenyuan City tomorrow, or I'll die a gruesome death like Liu Cheng!"

Wang Ling raised an eyebrow, his face full of confusion.

"Brother, what are you doing? It's just a servant who died, why are you fleeing Zhenyuan City?"

"Our Wang family has stood strong in this city for so many years, what kind of storms haven't we weathered?"

"Don't worry about losing one servant; even if ten or eight died, we could handle it!"

No! You don't understand!

Wang Qian's features were contorted, and his tone was filled with fear; he had long lost his former arrogance.

"They're coming for me! They're coming for me!"

Wang Ling finally sensed something was wrong. Staring at Wang Qian's flustered appearance, he asked in a deep voice, "Brother, are you hiding something from me and Father?"

He knows his older brother too well.

He appears arrogant and domineering, but is actually cowardly and weak.

When it comes to taking responsibility, they are always timid and hesitant, unable to handle the situation.

Wang Qian opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He was too ashamed to talk about those sordid things.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Ling had already guessed what was going on. This matter must be of great importance, and might even concern the rise and fall of the Wang family.

He took a deep breath, grabbed Wang Qian's arm, and said solemnly, "Brother, if this matter concerns the survival of the Wang family, then nod your head. Let's go find Father now, explain the situation clearly, and ask him for his decision."

"It's better than you making a mess of things here and ruining everything by keeping it from us!"

Wang Qian trembled, closed his eyes in pain, and nodded with difficulty.

Wang Ling's heart sank. Without asking any more questions, she grabbed Wang Qian and quickly walked towards the front house.

Before the two even reached the front yard, a servant rushed in, panicked, to report: "Second Young Master, something terrible has happened! Officials from the yamen are here!"

"The government office?" Wang Ling frowned. "What are they doing here?"

"I heard the leader is a military commander surnamed Lin, who says he's investigating a major case. He's currently knocking on the gate outside the mansion, and his attitude is very forceful!"

"The commander surnamed Lin..."

Upon hearing these five words, Wang Qian's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground: "They're here... He still won't let me go!"

Wang Ling glanced at Wang Qian, whose face was ashen, and already understood.

This Commander Lin must be here for Brother Chong.

He gritted his teeth and steadied Wang Qian, saying, "Brother, let's go quickly, let's go see Father!"

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Wang family was solemn.

Wang Xin sat upright in the main seat, his expression stern, and solemnly instructed the guard captain: "Guard the front gate well! My Wang family has been established in Zhenyuan City for so many years, and no one has ever dared to openly break into the mansion and arrest someone!"

The head guard bowed and accepted the order, then hurried away to stop the officials.

Wang Xin then turned to the steward beside him and said coldly, "Go quickly and send a message to General Qiao, asking him to step in and resolve this predicament!"

"A mere commander of a thousand households dares to act so arrogantly in my Wang family; he simply doesn't know his own limitations!"

Having weathered many storms, he remained calm and composed even when officials came knocking on his door, having already devised a plan.

The Wang family originated from the Wang clan of Ruzhou, and shares the same lineage as the current prime minister.

How could a mere commander of a thousand households possibly control such a person?

After giving his instructions, Wang Xin caught a glimpse of his two sons at the door and said in a deep voice, "You've arrived!"

"father!"

Wang Ling helped the trembling Wang Qian forward, glanced outside, and asked in a low voice, "Is Commander Lin outside here to arrest someone?"

Wang Xin nodded slightly, his tone disdainful: "A mere brat surnamed Lin, leading a dozen or so constables, thinks he can just barge into my Wang family? Who does he think he is? The Wang family isn't a place he can just barge into!"

Wang Ling looked grim and nudged Wang Qian beside him: "Father, my elder brother has something to tell you."

Wang Xin's anger towards Wang Qian had largely subsided. Seeing his panicked appearance, he assumed he was afraid of the officials outside the mansion and said gently, "I know what you want to say. You have behaved reasonably well during your confinement at home. Starting tomorrow, you are free to go out."

"But remember, don't cause any more trouble, especially stay away from Zhenyuan Army, lest you get into more trouble!"

Wang Qian's lips trembled, unable to utter a single word. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, crying out, "Father! I was foolish! I've committed a terrible mistake and caused a great disaster!"

Caught off guard, Wang Xin paused for a moment, then sighed inwardly: It seems the confinement really worked; this wretched son has finally become sensible and knows to admit his mistakes.

He stood up to help Wang Qian, his tone softening: "Alright, we're family, why make such a fuss? If you know you're wrong, just correct it."

But Wang Qian cried even harder.

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion of fighting and shouting erupted from outside the main hall.

A moment later, the sound stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, the bruised and battered head of the guards was thrown in and landed on the ground, unable to move.

The remaining guards also stumbled and fled into the courtyard, all covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled.

The head guard, his face swollen like a pig's head and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, crawled with difficulty toward Wang Xin: "Master...we...we can't stop them..."

"Click! Click! Click!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out as Lin Feng stepped inside.

He changed into a thousand-household military uniform, his posture was upright, and his eyes were full of sharp and heroic spirit.

His gaze swept across the main hall, finally settling on Wang Xin, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Master Wang, what a grand display you make!"

Lin Feng spoke indifferently, meeting his gaze without fear: "I am acting on General Zhang's orders to investigate a major case. Am I not allowed to enter your Wang family's door?"

Wang Xin's face turned ashen. He snorted coldly, strode to the entrance of the main hall, and pointed to the plaque that read "Wang Clan" hanging above the hall.

"Lin Feng! How dare you trespass on my Wang family's private residence?"

"My Wang family originates from the Wang clan of Ruzhou, sharing the same lineage as the current Prime Minister. We are a distinguished and prestigious family!"

"You, a mere commander of a thousand men, dare to act so presumptuously in my Wang family?"

Wang Xin believed that invoking the name of Prime Minister Wang Jin would surely intimidate this arrogant and ignorant commander.

But little did he know that Lin Feng's wife, Song Yuwei, was the one whose family was destroyed by Wang Jin's gang.

Thinking back to the despicable things Wang Qian had done and the Wang family's current arrogance, Lin Feng's anger was instantly ignited, and he could no longer suppress it!

"The Wang family?"

Lin Feng glanced at the gilded plaque, scoffed, and said with disdain and mockery, "What is the Wang family anyway!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew the Cheng Ying sword from his waist and threw it like a short spear.

"Buzz—"

A flash of cold light appeared as the Cheng Ying Sword pierced through the air, nailing straight through the "Wang Clan" plaque.

The sword blade was deeply embedded in the wooden pillar behind him, trembling incessantly!
