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

After leaving the Anjia Ruins, Lin Hui went straight into the mountains.

After circling around the foot of Eagle Ridge via the mountain road, we checked the area first and only climbed Eagle Ridge after finding no trace of anyone having gone up the mountain.

He did not go directly to the small courtyard in the mountain valley.

First, they went around to the back of the courtyard and stared at it for a long time. Only after finding that everything was normal did they enter the courtyard.

Fan Wujiu was very happy to see that it was Lin Hui.

"Brother, you've arrived."

"Boss, you're recovering quite well."

"Thanks to your goat meat, we couldn't have survived without that goat."

"Monkey, hurry up and bring out the sika deer we hunted yesterday and roast it for Brother Lin."

Lin Hui sat down, and I, Fan Wujiu, began to talk about my experiences that day.

After all, this man was once a general's bodyguard and knew a lot about the situation of the border troops.

"Boss, I encountered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry today."

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Cangying Ridge stared at Lin Hui.

"Brother, where did we meet them? Are they looking for us?"

"That wretched Chu Yanlai! Not only did he cause so many deaths and injuries to our brothers, but now we're being hunted down by the border troops."

The donkey punched the wooden pillar, its face turning ashen.

"Boss, instead of hiding here in frustration, why don't we go out and fight them? Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus."

"Yes, boss, it's better to die in battle than to be stuck here."

Fan Wujiu looked at the crowd and shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

Lin Hui explained, "Boss, don't worry. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's target isn't the brothers. I met them at the Anjia Ruins. They were hunting down members of the Northern Wilderness Night Raven."

Fan Wujiu took a deep breath: "Night Raven?"

"It seems that the Northern Wilderness is determined to start a major war this time."

"Brother Lin, if the Northern Wilderness invades, the people will suffer. You should take Ziyi and go south."

Lin Hui shook his head: "I can't leave. What will you do if I leave?"

Fan Wujiu shook his head and said slowly, "We're fine. We can easily gather a team by finding a hilltop."

The monkey asked, "Brother Lin, were the Night Raven members killed?"

Lin Hui nodded: "Yes, I killed them. Four Night Raven members ambushed me, but I killed them instead."

Lin Hui spoke casually, but to Fan Wujiu and the others, it was like a bomb.

They all knew the Night Raven's fighting strength, but Lin Hui killed all four of them by himself.

"Brother Lin, are you even human?"

"They want to kill me, so I'll definitely kill them."

Fan Wujiu asked doubtfully, "Are you sure they're members of the Night Raven?"

"I'm sure, because when I was about to leave the ruins of Anjia, the border cavalry Tiger and Leopard Cavalry returned, and they even wanted me to join them."

Fan Wujiu leaned against the wall, his gaze deep, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly asked, "Who is the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

He said his name was Du Yuanlang.

Upon hearing the name, Fan Wujiu was stunned, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Seeing the change in Fan Wujiu's eyes, Lin Hui asked, "Boss, do you know this Du Yuanlang?"

"It's more than just knowing him. He was once one of General Ling's personal guards. General Ling said that he was meticulous, well-versed in military strategy, and had the potential to become a general, so he recommended him to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Du Yuanlang, Chu Yanlai, and I were once the best of brothers. We fought side by side, drank and ate together."

Fan Wujiu paused for a moment and then continued, "When he joined the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he was just a lowly soldier. I never imagined that in just two years, he would become a general commanding hundreds of men."

Lin Hui looked surprised, not expecting that he would encounter someone related to Ling Ziyi.

Fan Wujiu looked at Lin Hui and said seriously, "Given Du Yuanlang's personality, shouldn't he have invited you to join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Lin Hui laughed and said, "That's right. He did ask me to join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and even said he would recommend me to be a centurion, but I declined."

Fan Wujiu looked at Lin Hui in surprise. A centurion, although it doesn't sound like much, is still a junior officer with real power in the army. With Lin Hui's age and ability, if he really takes the job, his future will be limitless.

"You know what, that kid wasn't just talking big when he said he'd recommend you for centurion. He's got some serious connections."

Lin Hui shook his head: "Protecting the border and ensuring the safety of the people is something I can do, but the border troops of Da Yu are not worth my service."

Fan Wujiu sighed, "Yes, the border troops are seriously corrupt, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to what it used to be. If the Northern Wilderness launches a large-scale attack, I'm afraid..."

"The Northern Wilderness has arrived, and the border war has begun."

Lin Hui paused for a moment and then said, "Boss, I have something to tell you."

"Brother, just say what's on your mind. Why are you beating around the bush?"

Lin Hui scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Boss, um...um..."

"Just tell me what it is, why are you being so hesitant?"

Lin Hui steeled himself and said directly, "Boss, to be honest, Ziyi is already my woman."

"This is also one of the reasons why I am unwilling to go to the border army. Once the border army finds out about Ziyi's background, it may be detrimental to her."

As soon as he said that, the whole room fell completely silent. No one spoke, except for the sizzling of the roasting deer leg on the stove.

Everyone stared at Lin Hui in disbelief.

How could Ling Ziyi, such a proud person, have given in to Lin Hui?

The most surprised person was Fan Wujiu. He was indeed a guard, but in his heart, Ling Ziyi had long been his younger sister.

He stared at Lin Hui with a murderous look in his eyes.

"You brat, do you even know what responsibilities you'll bear if you take Ziyi's body?"

"Have you thought it through?"

Lin Hui said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Of course I understand what the chief means. Please rest assured, chief, if you treat Ziyi like a younger sister, then I will only work harder and more diligently to love and protect her."

Having said all that, Fan Wujiu's gaze softened.

"You better remember what you said today. If you dare to treat Ziyi badly in the slightest or cause her any grievance, I will kill you."

Lin Hui chuckled, knowing that the leader was protecting his sister, and reassured him again, "Don't worry, leader."

"You're something else, kid. I never expected that Chu Yan would go to such lengths and use so many tricks, all for Zi Yi's heart, and you managed to get it so quickly."

Monkey stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, now that you're the boss's brother-in-law, shouldn't we all have a drink to celebrate?"

"Yes, let's have a drink..."

"Yes, bring the wine..."

Fan Wujiu turned around and glared at everyone: "Everyone, sit down and drink... What kind of wine are you drinking? Once the dust settles, Brother Lin will treat everyone to this wine."

"The boss is right."

"Brother Lin, you owe us all a drink."

"Yes, it has to be good wine. We won't stand for it if you try to fool us brothers with cheap wine."

Lin Hui said seriously, "Brothers, don't worry, I'll remember this drinking session."

Next, while eating roasted deer leg, the group discussed going to the county town and visiting the distillery.

"Brother-in-law, that would be a good place for everyone to stay, but not now."

Lin Hui asked, puzzled, "Brother, why is that?"

"Think about it, we're all injured right now. If so many of us enter the city, it'll easily arouse suspicion. In my opinion, we should wait until everyone's injuries have healed before we enter the city."

"Then let's listen to our eldest brother and let the brothers rest for a few more days."

"Then we'll have the brothers break up into smaller groups and enter the city in batches."

Once the matter was settled, Lin Hui went down the mountain. There were still workers at home, and he wanted to go back and check on them.
