The head of the Mu family

Chapter 205 The Road to Revenge

"Three heroes, I would like to ask, what are your specialties?"

"My skills lie in martial arts and agility!"

Yang Liu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect with an air of righteousness.

"Me? Just like him~"

Wearing a mask, Qin Guang crossed his arms and replied lazily.

"Greetings, Madam~ I don't know much about martial arts, but I'm very strong, hehehe."

He doesn't have any superhuman agility, but he runs pretty fast.

The master's wife said that if I listen to her, she'll provide me with enough money to eat for the rest of my life. Thank you, madam, Ade will definitely listen to you!

With innocent eyes and a simple, honest expression, Ade said, then knelt down and kowtowed several times.

Huai Sheng and Qian Yan exchanged a glance, and Huai Sheng asked in a gentle tone:

"Miss Ade, there's no need for this, please get up~"

"Um, I wonder how strong Miss Ade is?"

"I can lift a cow and run it around the village ten or so times."

Huai Sheng and Qian Yan were both taken aback, but seeing that this innocent girl was unlikely to lie, they said seriously:

"Then I'll send someone to buy a cow this afternoon."

Starting tomorrow, the girl's task will be to carry the cow around the garden every day.

Run as long as you can, but always remember to be within your limits and never injure yourself.

"Alright, then please prepare plenty of food, Madam."

"I...I...I ate more..."

"Please rest assured, young lady!"

"I...I really eat a lot..."

"Okay~ I got it, don't worry, Miss Ade, I'll make sure you're well-fed, ah~"

"Hiss~"

Qin Guang laughed out loud, which was rather unkind. Huai Sheng then asked:

"Uh~ Master Yang, Master Qin, I wonder who is superior in martial arts and agility?"

Upon hearing this, Qianyan quickly gave Huaisheng a gentle push.

It was too late; Huai Sheng had already asked, but neither of the two heroes seemed to mind.

"I, Qin, am not a chivalrous hero. You should know from my name that I make a living by taking lives."

As for who is better at martial arts between him and me...

We've never faced each other directly, but in the martial arts world, it's either me or him~

"I didn't mean anything by it, but I want the person with the better lightness skill to set off for Ximengyuan in a few months."

First, you need to figure out the target's habits and see if you can find an opportunity for it to be alone.

I want to focus more on strategic planning to minimize casualties for everyone, and also to keep the target alive as much as possible.

"Alright~ then I, Qin, will go!"

I'm not bragging, but these methods come naturally to me.

Old Yang, you're all martial arts experts but too upright. How about I teach you sometime?

Yang Liu turned her head away and ignored him.

In the afternoon, the two of them set up a plum blossom stake in an open space in the garden.

Huai Shengguang had someone find some wood, and with Ade there, it didn't take much effort; he simply nailed it to the ground with his bare hands.

Huaisheng then had Ade learn plum blossom stake training as well.

“Ade, the faster you run, the safer you will be.”

“Madam, this is the first time I’ve met an employer who can give me countless amounts of silver and who cares about our lives.”

“You’re just doing this job for me, silly girl. Everyone’s life is important.”

"I, Qin, have always done things for money, and I won't accept your favor for doing this!"

Huai Sheng couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this:

"I understand. I don't want anyone to owe me any favors. You all just focus on practicing your martial arts!"

They were still very busy at the end of the year, and Huaisheng and Qianyan couldn't take care of the three of them.

During the Chinese New Year, all three of them received the same amount of money as a reward, which made them all feel a little uncomfortable.

Huai Sheng specifically instructed that no martial arts practice should be done during the holidays, so that everyone could enjoy the festivities together.

The Mu family's annual performance astonished the three martial arts figures, who quickly integrated into the group.

None of the three noticed that their gazes were gradually warming up.

Even faster than them was a newlywed bride who almost went crazy with fun.

Huai Sheng and Qing Yue exchanged a glance:

Those previous nineteen years really stifled the girl.

After the Lunar New Year, it was Huai Sheng's thirty-third birthday. Jing Tang came a day early to take her away to avoid celebrating her birthday.

Qianyan stayed at the mansion, and everyone had a lively dinner that evening.

Uncle Li and Grandpa Huang were even more moved:

I never imagined I'd be alive and well today.

The two elderly people, in their eighties, live a comfortable life in the gatehouse of the mansion, receiving their monthly pensions.

In the past two years, when Huaisheng went out to provide free medical consultations, he brought back several widows, widowers, and people living alone.

The number of people in the kitchen, general labor, laundry, and gatehouse has been increased.

Just like before, the shop and the mansion are used alternately.

After their birthdays, Huaisheng and Qianyan resumed their normal lives.

When conducting free medical consultations, three top experts are brought along.

Huai Sheng and Qian Yan secretly praised:

The high salary paid for the job was indeed well worth the money.

If needed, Adé readily lends a hand.

At the slightest disturbance, Yang Liu and Qin Guang could immediately sense it.

Huai Sheng regularly took the pulses of the three people and adjusted their medicinal diets. Qin Liu and the other two felt that their meridians were much smoother, and Ade felt that he was stronger.

Mr. Qin set off first in May.

It was Qianyan's birthday again, and Huaisheng, as always, made a special battle robe for her.

The extraordinary enthusiasm of Huai Sheng filled Qian Yan with a sense of ecstasy.

Butterflies flutter among the rapeseed flowers, sucking at their nectar; honey-loving bees hide in their honeycomb hives.

Her body was damp with sweat, both dry and wet, and she still felt it even after getting up from her pillow.

As dawn approached, the exhausted pair of mandarin ducks in the tent finally lay down, their necks intertwined.

When Qianyan woke up the next day, the sun had already set.

My head felt unusually dizzy. I sat up and saw a stack of papers on the table in the room.

Qianyan suddenly came to her senses and thought about what she had done before going to sleep the day before.

Huai Sheng only drank half of the glass of water he was supposed to drink, then casually gulped the rest down, thinking to himself:

"not good!"

He rushed to the table, where Huaisheng had left letters for each member of the Mu family.

No matter what happens, everyone should listen to Qianyan's arrangements.

She also left a letter and entrusted her retirement plan to Dr. Gao, who was far away in Laiyang.

In addition to a letter, Qianyan also received a divorce agreement.

If she comes back alive, and if Qianyan is willing, the divorce agreement will be void.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, with Qianyan by Huaisheng's side, the children and the whole family can rest assured.

After reading it, Qianyan was so angry that she felt dizzy and muttered to herself in anger:

"If you're gone, what use are you to me?"

Quickly call someone to bring Qingyue back.

Upon hearing the master's urgent call, Qingyue's heart sank:

The patriarch is usually calm even if the sky falls, so this sudden commotion must mean something serious has happened.

He hurriedly dropped the accounts he was holding and handed them over to Shanlai and Yaole.

Qingyue, who had rushed back on horseback, entered like a gust of wind.

Qianyan was packing her things, and without looking up, she pointed to the table.

Qingyue walked over, picked up the stack of papers, and glanced at them briefly.

In a panic and anger, my vision blurred and I almost lost my balance. I quickly grabbed the table and said anxiously:

"A few days ago, I bought a few Akhal-Teke horses, and I asked A-Yun to prepare them."

I'll go prepare now, and we'll meet at the main gate in fifteen minutes.

"Alright~ But you can't leave home. We won't be in the manor, so you have to keep an eye on things. I won't say anything else, just prepare four horses."

Qingyue didn't say anything more after hearing this, just nodded and left.

Fifteen minutes later, Qianyan, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and the three captains of Xuanbu set off under the cover of night.

After traveling day and night for two days, they finally caught up with him in Yuandong County.

After seeing the group resting and eating in the distance, Qianyan finally felt relieved. She suppressed her anger and, with the three members of Xuanbu, quickly found a place to eat and replenish their supplies.

Go ahead to the official road half a mile from the city gate, rest and wait for some heartless person.

After having a meal and taking a short rest with Yang Liu and Ade, Huai Sheng, along with Yang Liu and Ade, replenished their supplies and set off.

After leaving the city gate and traveling for a short while, they suddenly saw Qian Yan standing tall and elegant, leaning against her horse with her arms crossed by the roadside.

Huai Sheng, riding on his horse, suddenly saw someone and didn't react for a moment. He raised his hand to rub his eyes and blinked in disbelief.

Seeing her like that, Qianyan felt a surge of longing in her heart, and her anger instantly subsided by half, but she still had to maintain a facade and not show it.

When Yang Liu was driving the carriage quite a distance away, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

Seeing that Huai Sheng had slowed down, Ade also slowed down, looking bewildered. Yang Liu subtly nudged Ade with her whip, signaling her to stop.

Huai Sheng rode his horse to Qian Yan, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Qianyan crossed her arms and snorted coldly, then spread her arms towards her.

Huai Sheng's mind raced, and he quickly used the donkey to get off the horse. He hooked his arm around Qian Yan's neck and begged him to lift him off the horse.

Qianyan lifted her down and immediately let go.

"Let's settle our scores when we get home after we've gotten our revenge!"

"Alright, Mr. Cui!"

Hehe~

"Hmph~ Don't try to be all smiles with me, you almost drove me crazy!"

Huai Sheng chuckled, threw himself into Qian Yan's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Qianyan was still angry, and Huaisheng said with a smile:

"Excuse me, everyone, could you please turn your faces around for a moment?"

The group immediately looked away. Huai Sheng pulled Qian Yan to the side of the woods and cupped his face in his hands.

She tiptoed and kept kissing Qianyan's face, whispering sweet nothings in her ear as she did so.

"Husband, calm down~"

My dear husband, calm down~

Qianyan's temper had completely subsided, and happiness was once again radiating from her face.

Seeing that the couple had made up in such a short time, everyone laughed.

The group set off again, this time the couple united as one, embarking on a path of revenge.

Life's journey is long, but no matter what we encounter, we must keep going!
