Chaotic Frontier: I Picked Up a Peerless Little Wife at the Start

As a veteran from the border army, Luan Dahui was forced by life to become the captain of the guards in Anjia in order to have enough to eat, but he was still proud in his bones.

Now Lin Hui publicly called him a dog.

He immediately became angry.

His face darkened, and he raised his long sword to slash at Lin Hui.

Luan Dahui was quite skilled; his strike was powerful. Lin Hui didn't take it head-on, but dodged it with a quick movement, then turned and attacked with the knife in his hand.

Luan Dahui leaned back, using the tip of the knife as leverage, and did a backflip to avoid the attack.

Lin Hui's knife only managed to tear the corner of his clothes.

He looked down and his face turned even uglier. He then rushed forward and engaged Lin Hui in a fierce fight.

Luan Dahui was, after all, a veteran who had retired from the border army. His swordsmanship was fierce, domineering, and exceptionally cunning, and he was a man who killed people.

Lin Hui did not choose to confront Luan Dahui head-on, but instead used his speed advantage to dodge and avoid vital points.

After exchanging more than ten blows, Lin Hui, not wanting to continue the fight, deliberately lost a move.

Luan Dahui thought Lin Hui was finished, but little did he know that this was Lin Hui's strategy.

With a chuckle, he drew his knife and charged, but Lin Hui was prepared. As he dodged, his hands changed, his right hand wielding the knife and his left hand wielding it, aiming for Luan Dahui's abdomen.

Luan Dahui reacted quickly and realized Lin Hui's purpose, but it was too late. He watched as the long knife pierced his abdomen, and his body went limp.

After Lin Hui drew his knife, he fell straight down.

With the death of the guard commander Luan Dahui, the remaining guards scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Lin Hui didn't chase after the henchmen; instead, he turned and slashed at the door latch.

With the bolt broken, the once impregnable door was instantly pushed open from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, all the people from Cangying Ridge poured in.

They went straight to the backyard like a pack of wolves.

"Not bad, Brother Lin."

Fan Wujiu patted Lin Hui on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "Well done! Now, the An family is finished."

Ling Ziyi walked behind Fan Wujiu, her gaze first sweeping over Luan Dahui, who was lying on the ground, and then across Lin Hui's face.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

Six monkeys sidled up to Lin Hui and gave him a thumbs up: "Well done, Brother Lin! You even killed Luan Dahui. I never expected that you would be so skilled in archery and martial arts."

Lin Hui chuckled and brushed it off: "No, no, it was just a fluke. As long as it didn't delay the brothers, that's fine."

Then Lin Hui pointed to the depths of the backyard: "Boss, we need to hurry. They've all gone deep into the backyard. If the An family has some hidden passages or something, it will be troublesome if they have to go out to ask for help."

Fan Wujiu was very confident: "Don't worry, Brother Lin, we have investigated the An family's situation very thoroughly. The backyard is their last stronghold. Tonight, not a single member of the An family will escape."

"Monkey, lead the brothers and clear out the remnants of Anjia's army."

"Kill all those heartless bastards from the An family."

Six Monkeys chuckled and led the group straight to the depths of the backyard.

Then, Fan Wujiu ordered the donkey: "Donkey, take men to the granary and the treasury. Don't let anything valuable escape. Take it all with you."

"Remember, you need to be quick."

The donkey, wielding two large axes, said, "Brother, just you wait and see."

Then he led more than twenty people straight to the granary.

Liu Hou glanced into the crowd. Almost everyone he had seen last time was there, but he didn't see Yan Chulai, the second-in-command of Eagle Ridge.

"Hey, where is the second-in-command? With his archery skills, if he were here, what would the brothers have to fear from the archers?"

Ling Ziyi casually replied, "Second Brother said he had other important matters to attend to, so he took his men to Ningyuan Town."

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat. Ningyuan Town was where Cheng Wuyou's troops were stationed. What was he going there for?

"Is the second-in-command really going to Ningyuan Town?"

"What is he going to do?"

Before Ling Ziyi could speak, hurried footsteps and the clanging of armor echoed outside the An family compound, along with the sounds of horses' hooves and neighing.

Lin Hui thought to himself, "We're doomed."

Sure enough, a brother from Eagle Ridge rushed in: "Boss... Boss... Something bad has happened... Something bad has happened..."

"What is it? Speak slowly."

Before the man could speak, a voice rang out from outside: "Listen up, you people inside! The Ningyuan Town garrison is here. Come out and surrender now!"

Just as Lin Hui had predicted, a problem arose.

At this moment, outside the An family mansion.

Cheng Wuyou, dressed in black armor, rode a chestnut horse, exuding a powerful aura. The color of the horse contrasted sharply with the color of the armor.

Behind Cheng Wuyou were more than a hundred fully armed border soldiers. With a wave of Cheng Wuyou's hand, the soldiers surrounded the entire An family mansion in an orderly fashion.

"Chu Yanlai, I never expected your plan to pull the ladder away after climbing onto the roof to be so perfect. Now, the people of Cangying Ridge are in my pocket."

"This is all thanks to the great general's decisive victory and strategic planning. I was just saying a few words; how could I dare to take credit?"

Chu Yanlai smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, his expression clearly visible in the surrounding torchlight.

Behind him were more than a dozen trusted subordinates from Eagle Ridge.

At this moment, seeing the border troops surround Anjia and begin their attack, the expressions on their faces varied.

Just then, Cheng Wuyou gave Chu Yan a new task: "Go and bring your men in to capture Fan Wujiu and Ling Ziyi for this general."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces became unnatural.

Cheng Wuyou paused, his voice changing slightly: "What, you're not obeying my orders?"

Chu Yanlai didn't know what to do at this moment. In his heart, he really couldn't face the many brothers inside.

"General, we are brothers after all. Please let us in. I..."

"We were brothers?"

"Chu Yanlai, since you can betray your brothers, you should go in and send them on their way yourself."

Cheng Wuyou sneered: "Chu Yanlai, you'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, he spurred his horse and headed towards the An family mansion.

Now that things have come to this, even if Chu Yanlai's men were unwilling, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Meanwhile, inside the Anjia Courtyard.

Upon hearing the news of the border troops' arrival, everyone was initially taken aback, but then became tense.

"Boss, what should we do? The border troops are here."

The monkey ran out from the depths of the inner courtyard, its face grim: "Boss, I just climbed up the wall and took a look. It's Cheng Wuyou leading the team personally, at least a hundred people."

Fan Wujiu was equally surprised: "Border troops? Why would border troops suddenly appear here?"

The donkeys carrying the grain were also drawn over: "Chief, I just ran into the border troops while carrying the grain out. Chief, what should we do? They've already come in."

While Fan Wujiu was still deep in thought, the donkey suddenly changed the subject: "A spy."

"There must have been a spy who leaked the information, otherwise how could the border troops have known about our operation?"

As soon as the donkey finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Hui, because Lin Hui was the only outsider here.

Even Fan Wujiu stared intently at Lin Hui.

Lin Hui thought to himself, "Trouble is brewing."
