Chapter 229 Saving the Wife - Killing the Evil Halfway
Zhou Leng rode his horse along the side of the carriage, moving slowly.
There were fifteen people in the group, excluding himself and the two in the carriage, ten of the twelve people outside were women.
All ten of them wore scarves on their heads, blue pleats, white hakama, and black leather boots. They had swords hanging around their waists and carried the same bundles on their backs. They looked so heroic and full of vigor.
Zhou Leng estimated that these ten people were using the same type of weapons, and they were probably the Du family's trusted aides. They were restrained and acted in an orderly manner, and they should have practiced a special sword formation together.
This situation made Zhou Leng feel excited. Although he is a man now, he is also proud of such a woman. Just like many modern women who are brave and fight to the end in the workplace, she respects them from the bottom of her heart.
This is the female-dominated world that Zhou Leng likes. Even though they are still women, they will have the pain of giving birth to children, but so what? They still practice hard and have different life choices. They can also wield swords, ride horses, and travel the world.
The remaining two were men, one was dressed as a swordsman and the other was dressed as a servant. They were both followers of Shan Hao.
The road was relatively flat, and after walking for a whole morning, both the people and the horses were a little tired.
Everyone found a shady place on the side of the road to rest.
Shan Hao and Du Mengran also got off the carriage to stretch their muscles.
Everyone spread out straw mats and sat down under the shade of the trees, then took out the prepared dry food and ate.
Zhou Leng had no sense of being a husband at all. He ignored the wife and the single husband who were bored. Instead, he stretched his muscles and flew to the top of the tree. After eating a few butter fruits, he lay on the treetop and closed his eyes to rest.
As the sun was shining brightly, everyone felt a little sleepy.
Finally, Du Mengran and Shan Hao got back on the carriage to rest.
After the sun had passed, everyone continued on their journey.
Two days later, they finally arrived at Pingsheng Town, which was the only way to Nanzhou.
Finally, there were no longer trees on both sides, and there was no longer flying dust behind me.
The group found an inn where they would rest for a day and wash off the dust.
They requested eight rooms in total, Zhou Leng was the only one who stayed alone, the rest were two people in one room. Shan Hao was very satisfied with his tactfulness.
This is the most prosperous inn with the largest guest capacity in Pingsheng Town, so at noon, there are many people dining on the first floor.
The Du family sat at two tables in the corner and ate.
Zhou Leng didn't attract much attention due to his busy schedule over the past few days and his deliberate concealment, but Shan Hao was like a peacock with its tail spread out, dressed in red, with heavy makeup, and exuding an aura that everyone was competing for.
The fighting in the underworld is nothing more than for power, money and beauty.
Shan Hao's outfit successfully attracted the attention of people who were also eating in the hall.
It was about time for a cup of tea.
A young woman followed by two guards walked into the inn's main entrance. She had a double-ring bun on her head, and was wearing a red and green embroidered skirt with green flowers, a purple short-sleeve embroidered with hunting patterns, and a white quilted cape with colorful bird patterns on the outside.
Although this outfit may not look very elegant now, it is a symbol of wealth and status here. After all, embroidery is very expensive.
They walked into the inn, and before they sat down, the two guards wiped every corner of the table.
After a cup of tea, the woman seemed to have seen Shan Hao. She came over with two guards. Seeing Du Mengran, who was not dressed gorgeously, beside Shan Hao, she sneered and said:
"Such a handsome man actually fell into the hands of a woman who was dependent on such a look."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Shan Hao and said:
"If you follow me, you will surely be clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and enjoy endless wealth and splendor."
None of the dozen or so people from the Du family were indignant, and no one stopped to watch. They continued to eat and drink soup as if nothing had happened. Even Du Mengran, who was being ridiculed, remained calm and composed.
Shan Hao smiled sweetly, and said as if he was shy:
"Oh, wealth and splendor, fine clothes and delicious food? I just don't know if you have a husband, how much wealth you have, and how many servants you have."
The woman turned around and walked to Shan Hao. She stretched out her hand to grab Shan Hao's hand.
"Ah ah ah."
The woman's screams echoed in the inn.
It turned out that when the woman was about to touch Shan Hao, Shan Hao picked up the chopsticks on the table and stabbed them into the woman's eyes, and blood gushed out.
Shan Hao ignored the blood staining his own body. He quickly pulled out the chopsticks and stabbed again. The chopsticks pierced the woman's temple again, killing her on the spot.
The two attendants drew their swords and fought.
Shan Hao was just about to throw himself into Du Mengran's arms.
Du Mengran was ready to be disgusted. At this moment, Zhou Leng floated behind Du Mengran, held her waist with one hand and pulled the belt around her waist with the other hand. The two of them floated to about two meters away.
Shan Hao's attack missed, and at this moment the two swordsmen arrived in front of him.
The people who accompanied him were naturally there to protect Du Mengran, so they came to the Pavilion Master first.
But within just a few breaths, the two men were killed by Shan Hao.
Du Mengran turned her head to look at Du Ruo, in order to adjust the disgust in her eyes. When she turned her head again, her eyes were full of worry.
Zhou Leng looked at Shan Hao who was covered in blood. The other person looked at Du Mengran with resentment in his eyes.
Zhou Leng said in a bad tone:
"As a husband, you don't fulfill your duties, but instead put your wife in danger. You were supposed to be low-key on this trip, and you were dressed gorgeously. If you didn't do it on purpose, you were trying to attract the attention of your admirers and murder your wife."
Du Mengran suppressed her laughter and said loudly, "Shut up, how can you say that about a single man?"
Zhou Leng reached out and picked up Du Mengran, ignoring everything behind him, and walked up the stairs. He said loudly: "Pack your bags and leave here immediately."
Du Mengran also wanted to stay away from here, but the shame of being hugged by a man made her kick her feet uncomfortably.
The ten accompanying female swordsmen looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they followed them upstairs.
Only the swordsman and the servant came to Shan Hao's side. The servant supported him and ignored his vicious look. The swordsman threw the corpse out of the inn.
Everyone else in the inn turned around and continued to eat. Even the waiter just went to get a mop to clean up the blood. This is how the fights in the martial arts world seem to be.
Du Mengran reached the second floor. When she saw that no one was watching, she struggled out of his embrace, then picked up Zhou Leng like a princess. Zhou Leng skillfully put his arms around her neck and whispered:
"If my wife were any shorter, my legs would have fallen to the ground."
Du Mengran gritted her teeth in anger. She quickly walked to Zhou Leng's room, kicked the door open, and then closed it with her back foot. She threw him on the bed, then leaned forward and put her hands on Zhou Leng's chest muscles. She said in an ambiguous tone:
"Why, is Ruoru jealous?"
Zhou Leng reached out and touched the other person's face and said:
"My dear wife, I suggest you look in the bronze mirror, and then you will know whether I am jealous or not."
Then the two of them started fighting, and they were really fighting to learn from each other's moves!
