Great Li Village's gate was also decorated with red cloths and big red flowers, looking very festive.
Many people were standing at the gate, looking to the west.
"The people from Teng Jia Village haven't arrived yet."
"Li Laosan, go home and wait. What's the rush?" A few villagers laughed and teased a simple and honest middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was the father of Li Luoxiang, who was about to get married today. "Luoxiang's father, go home and prepare. The people will be here soon." A woman pulled Li Laosan home.
Li Laosan smiled and went home with his wife to wait.
"My Luoxiang is really lucky to marry into Teng Jia Village. Her husband is a man who can lift two thousand Jin." Li Laosan sighed as he walked. "Two thousand Jin! Our Great Li Village doesn't have such an amazing man. Our Luoxiang will be blessed in the future. "
"Look at how happy you are." His wife laughed.
"I only have one daughter. How can I not be happy?" Li Laosan was very proud.
His daughter was able to marry such a powerful man. Li Laosan had a lot of face in Great Li Village. Li Laosan, who had been honest all his life, was unknown in Great Li Village. But just because his daughter was able to marry such a powerful man, all the villagers in the village looked up to him, Old Li the Third.
At this moment — —
The ground slightly trembled.
"The sound of horse hooves! The people from Teng Jia Village are here. "Li Laosan was overjoyed. He immediately turned around and ran towards the gate of Great Li Village.
"Luoxiang's father, there seems to be a lot of horses. It's a bit like bandits coming to collect the annual tribute." The woman said as she ran.
"Nonsense. Why would they collect the annual tribute at this time? Teng Jia Village must have gotten a lot of horses to boost their prestige. "Li Laosan said happily. However, at this moment — —
"The mounted gangsters are here!"
"The White Horse Gang is here!"
Loud shouts sounded from the front. Many villagers of Great Li Village picked up their weapons and rushed forward. Li Laosan was also somewhat dumbfounded. "It really is the White Horse Gang." Li Laosan quickly reacted and followed the large group of villagers, rushing forward.
*****
On the spacious training field in front of Great Li Village, many villagers held weapons and looked at the large group of mounted gangsters in fear. Just the number of horse bandits that had rushed into the training field numbered in the hundreds, and there was still a large number of horse bandits outside the Great Li Village's gate. The Li clan leader had never seen the White Horse Gang mobilize so many people.
"Young Master, we've already paid the New Year's tribute. May I know what orders Young Master has for us?" The Li Clan Leader asked.
Sitting on a Cyan Mane Treading Snow Horse was a sturdy man with a body like an iron tower. This man was wearing cyan armor and had a helmet on his head. Even the Treading Snow Horse he was riding was protected by the same armor. This man was the second strongest expert of the White Horse Gang — the Young Master, Hong Zhenjie!
Through his helmet, the White Horse Gang's Young Master swept his cold gaze down.
"Today, your Great Li Village seems to have a joyous occasion." The Young Master said in a clear voice, "Many people are waiting at the gate. Are they waiting to escort the bride?" The Young Master was indeed very smart. With a glance, he was able to determine whether the Great Li Village was marrying a woman into the village or marrying a woman out.
"This …" The Li clan leader slightly hesitated, then said, "Young master, today is indeed the day our Great Li Village's daughter is getting married."
"Oh, bring her over for me to see." The Young Master indifferently ordered.
"This doesn't match …" The Li clan leader had not finished speaking.
"Pa!" A long spear struck the Li clan leader's body, sending him flying. He then heavily landed on the ground and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. Beside the Young Master, a mounted gangster, who was also covered in armor and holding a spear, coldly shouted through his helmet: "Old man, the Young Master told you to bring the bride out. Bring her out. If you say another word of no, I will kill you on the spot."
The clansmen of the Great Li Village were stunned.
Within the White Horse Gang, there were also elites and ordinary mounted gangsters. Around the Young Master, there was a group of mounted bandits covered in armor. They were clearly the elites.
"Li Laosan, bring your daughter here." The Li clan leader clenched his teeth and shouted.
Li Laosan's entire body trembled.
"The Young Master wants to see your daughter. That is your daughter's good fortune. Quickly go." The Li clan leader shouted. He also felt that something was wrong … because the White Horse Gang had never sent out such elite troops when they came out to collect the annual tribute. These horse bandits around the young master were all wearing armor, along with their horses.
Just the armor alone would probably cost a lot of silver.
Li Laosan quickly ran home and brought his daughter, who was about to be married, to the training field. Li Luoxiang, who was wearing a red wedding dress, still had a face full of fear.
"This, this is the daughter who is going to be married to Teng Jia Village today." The Li clan leader said.
The Young Master, Hong Zhenjie, looked down and examined the bride below. Li Luoxiang, on the other hand, had her head lowered and didn't dare to raise it. The Young Master coldly shouted, "Raise your head."
Li Luoxiang's entire body trembled. She didn't dare to disobey and raised her head to look at the Young Master on the war horse.
"She looks pretty good." The Young Master smiled as he examined her, then said to the mounted bandit beside him, "This little girl looks pretty good. Brothers, we're going to destroy the Iron Mountain Gang today, so we'll take this bride with us as a reward. Come, take this bride away. "
Immediately, the mounted gangsters jumped off their horses and rushed towards Li Luoxiang.
"Sirs, you can't." Li Laosan hastily stood in front of Li Luoxiang and immediately knelt down.
Li Luoxiang's face was also deathly pale. She originally dreamed of marrying a good man. She even looked forward to giving birth to two or three children for her man and living a good life. Who would have thought that on the day of her wedding, she would encounter such a thing?
"Get lost." One of the three mounted gangsters who rushed down kicked Li Laosan and grabbed Li Luoxiang.
"No, no, my man is Teng Qinghu of Teng Jia Village! You can't catch me! " Li Luoxiang seemed to have gone crazy as she suddenly let out a mournful scream. Li Luoxiang understood very well that if she was caught and brought to this nest of mounted gangsters, what awaited her would be even more terrifying than entering hell.
The Li Clan Chief also hastily said, "Young Master, Luoxiang's daughter is married to Teng Qinghu of Teng Jia Village. The people of Teng Jia Village will arrive soon."
"Don't even mention Teng Qinghu's wife. Even if she is the wife of the number one hero of Teng Jia Village, Teng Qingshan, I will still take her away today." The Young Master, Hong Zhenjie, disdainfully glanced around and casually pointed three times. "This one, this one, and that woman, take them all away! After we destroy the Iron Mountain Gang, we must let our brothers have some fun. "
"Okay."
Many mounted gangsters excitedly jumped off their horses and went to catch the three women. This Hong Zhenjie might have a special liking for young women. These three women looked to be around 14 or 15 years old and had just reached adulthood.
"Let go of my daughter." A large man roared in grief and indignation. He rushed over with a huge axe in his hand and directly chopped towards a mounted gangster.
A mounted gangster covered in armor from head to toe on a war horse thrust his long spear forward like a phantom — —
Puchi!
The long spear penetrated the chest of the large man. The large man's eyes widened like copper bells, but the mounted gangster on the war horse coldly pulled out the spear, causing blood to spurt out.
"Great Master!"
"Great Master!"
Many young men of Great Li Village immediately cried out in pain.
The Young Master, Hong Zhenjie, who was sitting high on his horse, coldly said, "Today is the 6th of March, a great day! It is also the day my White Horse Gang destroys the Iron Mountain Gang. Your Great Li Village better be tactful. Otherwise, I don't mind slaughtering your Great Li Village before destroying the Iron Mountain Gang. "
The men of Great Li Village trembled with anger, but none of them dared to make a sound.
Just now, the armored mounted gangster unexpectedly killed their clan's Great Master in a single move. This time, the White Horse Gang dispatched absolute elites to destroy the Iron Mountain Gang. Destroying their Great Li Village absolutely wouldn't take long.
"Brothers, let's go!" Hong Zhenjie loudly shouted.
Immediately, the mounted gangsters on war horses left one by one. The women who were captured screamed mournfully. But no matter how much they screamed, the Great Li Village clansmen didn't dare to make the slightest movement to resist. On the ground, the corpse of the Great Master, whose blood had not yet cooled, was dazzling to the eyes.
"Chief …" Many of the clan's men shed tears as they looked towards their Chief.
The Li Clan Chief raised his head to look at the sky as tears flowed down his face, "This White Horse Gang is our local tyrant. If we resist, we will die!" Surviving in this chaotic world, the commoners had their own way of dealing with things. Facing the White Horse Gang, these villagers didn't dare to resist unless it was a moment of life and death.
The Great Li Village clansmen carried away the corpse of their Great Master and comforted the clansmen who had lost their daughters.
In the blink of an eye, this joyous occasion turned into a funeral.
There was no other way. Facing the local tyrant of Yi City, the tyrant that controlled their lives — the White Horse Gang. They could only endure bullying. Snatching women had already happened more than once.
Not long after.
"Chief, Chief, the Teng Jia Village's wedding procession has arrived." The clansmen at the entrance of Great Li Village saw the wedding procession of dozens of people from afar, as well as the red-clothed groom sitting high on a large horse. They hurriedly reported to the Li Clan Chief, who was on the training field.
The Li Clan Chief's complexion changed as he smiled bitterly, "How can our Great Li Village explain to the Teng Jia Village!" He immediately clenched his teeth and looked at the surrounding clansmen. "Even if we don't have the face, we still have to go. Come, accompany me to receive them."
