Hundreds of cavalrymen charged into the city, clad in heavy armor.
The fat general in the lead weighed at least 100 kilograms, but he didn't give off the feeling of being a burden at all. His body was strong, his skin was dark, and his mount was also a heavy black horse. The cavalrymen behind him galloped in a straight line. Beside the fat general, there was a delicate woman riding side by side. She had a lively temperament, and her colorful clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy. The young woman wore a dark and serene green skirt with a soft and delicate yellow inner garment, which was exquisite and elegant. An ancient sword with a peacock green scabbard hung on her waist. Even when she galloped with the Beimang's number one cavalrymen, she didn't look like a vase at all, which made the fat general's personal cavalrymen look even more majestic. The Beimang Dynasty had a vast territory, but ever since the Liyang Dynasty unified the Spring and Autumn Period, it had launched six grand wars with all its might, but only one of them involved the central line of the Dragon Waist State. The main battlefields were the eastern line of the two Liao Provinces, and the western line of the Beimang Gusai Province and the Liyang Liangzhou Province, which was a hundred steps away from Flying Fox City. The fat man slowed down his horse and looked up at the Hanging Sword Pavilion. The travel-worn fat man spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed in a low voice. The cavalrymen behind him moved as if they were one person, and the distance between the horses' legs didn't change because of the slow speed.
The fat man's surname was Dong. His father was a scholar left behind by the Spring and Autumn Period, and his mother was a girl from a small family in Beimang. After joining the army for more than ten years, the fat man Dong had turned his two hundred kilograms of fat into muscles. He had become the most dazzling military hero of the Beimang Southern Dynasty. He was even on the same level as the Governor of Gusai Province, the three Great Generals, and the important ministers of the Southern Dynasty. According to the laws of Beimang, even if the officials of the Southern Dynasty and the ministers of the Northern Dynasty had the same rank, their ranks would still be lowered by one rank. Only the nobles of the Southern Dynasty who had been specially rewarded by the Empress of Beimang could have their ranks increased by half a rank. This fat man was the only person in the Beimang Dynasty who had been specially rewarded by the Empress of Beimang. Therefore, even though he was supposed to be a Rank Four General, his military power had risen to Rank Two. The three Great Generals of the Western Front, Huang Songpu, Liu Gui, Yang Yuanzan, and Gusai Jinxi, who could make the border tremble with just a sneeze, had all been cursed by this fat man. Among them, he had even slammed the table with Huang Songpu, who had been specially rewarded by the Empress of Beimang. It was even rumored that he had rolled up his sleeves and had a fight with Yang Yuanzan. It was a miracle that the fat man was still alive today.
Fatty Dong gnashed his teeth in anger. How did that old turtle Murong Baoding manage the little bastards in his clan? Murong Zhangtai had already given him a secret letter, but he still dared to lead his private army to rob his brother, sister-in-law, and niece. Did he really think that he could sit back and relax just because he was ranked ninth on the Martial Roll? Putting aside the murder of his sister-in-law, if anything happened to his niece, who he regarded as his own daughter, then this old man would fight with Murong Baoding to death for the rest of his life! If any of the descendants of Murong Baoding's branch came to Gusai Province to steal military merits in the future, then I'll make sure to beat them up so badly that even their parents wouldn't be able to recognize them when they crawled back home! Along the way, as they approached Flying Fox City, there were already several groups of scouts roaming around and spying on them from half a li away. Fatty Dong did not pay any attention to them at all. With these guys' horsemanship and combat strength, any one of the cavalrymen behind him could easily shoot them down. In terms of the killing ability of the horse bars and the scouts, only the White Horse Wandering Crossbows trained by Chen Zhibao could compare with his Crow Bars. Politeness demands reciprocity. After so many years of fighting to the death with real swords and spears, the odds of victory and defeat were always fifty-fifty. Fatty Dong grinned, which made him look even more sinister. He knew that he wasn't a romantic, elegant, and kind person. Before he joined the army, the children in the neighborhood would be scared and cry when they saw him. Other than men who had similar interests, he hadn't been liked by many women or children in his life. Therefore, whenever he met a woman, Fatty Dong would cherish her very much. There were only two women, and both of them had become his wives. The outside world said that Fatty Dong treated both the first and second wives equally. Anyway, the one who became the official daughter-in-law of the Dong family first would be the first daughter-in-law, and the one who married into the family later would be the second daughter-in-law. This was called "first come, first served". Anyway, this old man didn't like to be reasonable. The one beside me was the sweetheart of that old man, Bubing Shan. Wasn't she also taken home by me? Every two or three days, that old fellow disdained my martial prowess as unsightly. Motherf * cker, what the hell do you know about the art of war? The pinnacle of martial prowess is no more than fighting a thousand men. This old man is a match for ten thousand men. I've long disliked you, old man. Don't rely on your father-in-law's status as a martial grandmaster to make a ruckus. This old man respects the old and loves the young. I won't bicker with you. At most, I'll just pat your butt and turn around to tidy up your daughter in the middle of the night. This is called everything has its vanquisher.
When the woman beside Fatty Dong saw that all too familiar smiling face, she helplessly said, "Husband, are you up to no good again? Who's going to suffer this time? "
The damned fatty laughed and said, "Your husband has always won people over with virtue and has always been kind to others."
The beautiful woman with wide sleeves that fluttered like an immortal from the heavens wrinkled her brows. "You like that Tao Manwu so much? In the future, you probably won't be so nervous about the children of me and that person, right? "
Fatty Dong chuckled and said, "You're treating me like an outsider. Tao Manwu is the only child that your husband truly likes in this life. He's also eldest brother's orphan. What's wrong with feeling a little heartache? It's fine if you don't get along with the Princess of Great Yong. It's normal for women to be jealous. But it's not good for you to be blindly jealous of a child. If there's no one around, your husband will have to serve you according to the family rules and spank your butt. "
The woman whose father was the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Banbing originally wanted to snort coldly to express her slight dissatisfaction. However, she saw that he had been rushing day and night, resting every day only because he was exhausted and had no choice but to take a nap. Wiping his face with a wet cloth could wipe away several layers of dust, and his lips had long since become chapped and dripping with blood. In order to find that young niece of his who had gone missing from the Duck Head Green Inn, he had mobilized almost all of his connections and resources to rely on the bits and pieces of information that he had found, desperately chasing after clues. This was the first time she had seen him muster such an unscrupulous force other than fighting wars and abducting wives. Seeing his thin and sunken cheeks, her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to use words to oppose him.
She changed the topic. Seeing the soldiers and armor outside the city gates, she narrowed her eyes and softly asked, "Isn't Tantai Zhangping your good brother in private? Why did he obstruct you?"
