Chapter 133: Ancient Instance (Ancient Three)

Although An Cui quickly became the head lady of Dongshan Village with her unquestionable means and abilities, there were still people who were unwilling to obey her for various reasons and were dissatisfied with her. The second in command, Qin Shixuan, was one of them.

Qin Shixuan is a young doctor, and the most educated one among the bandits. He has a plain appearance, but a graceful temperament. He is the one who treats all the sick people in the village, so he has a high prestige in the village. Some time ago, he left to save his teacher who was trapped in Qianzhou because of the war. After nearly a year of going back and forth, and the dangerous journey, he finally brought his teacher back to the village.

Then he was shocked to find that in just less than a year, the village had been completely transformed. There were more farmlands and villages outside the village. At first glance, there were at least tens of thousands of households, but it looked more harmonious than when he left. The low houses were neatly arranged with novel structures. The roads were flat and clean. The various feces that were everywhere in the past were nowhere to be seen. The wheat ears in the fields were full, and the number of each grain was astonishingly large. The teacher even bent down to count them.

Children were running on the ridges of the fields, and the Self-Defense Forces in uniform were running and patrolling... It was lunch time, and the aroma of meat came from somewhere, so homely and steaming hot that it made them, who had suffered a year, drool.

At first, the teacher couldn't believe that this was a village under the influence of a bandit camp. He just thought that he had accidentally entered some kind of paradise. Otherwise, how could there be such a scene in such a chaotic world?

When they walked up the mountain, they saw the only entrance and exit of the mountain stronghold. There was a steel gate several feet long and wide between the two gorges, which was daunting. With this gate, their mountain stronghold was impervious to water, fire, swords and guns. Even if there were thousands of soldiers, they would not be able to enter!

After entering this door, he saw an even more unfamiliar scene. What was that big furnace over there? The flames were soaring into the sky, the steam was rising, and everyone was busy sweating. What were the women wearing over there? If he hadn't seen a familiar person, he would have thought he had come to the wrong place.

Later he found out that the drastic changes in the village were all because of a woman!

After hearing what An Cui had done and meeting An Cui, he became wary of An Cui.

"Brother, how could you be so confused? Could it be that she really drugged you? Not to mention that she has these abilities, who in the world would not fight for her? She can be admired and gain fame and fortune wherever she goes. Why did she hide until now and show up in our village? Just to say that she is the daughter of a noble family, how could she be willing to stay here as a wife?" Qin Shixuan said, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "She is smelting iron and forging weapons, accepting more and more foreign refugees, encouraging young and strong people to join the Self-Defense Forces, and even formulating training plans and improving weapons... She has something in mind, and you should be able to see it, brother!"

Han Xiao sat on the tiger-skin chair, listening to Qin Shixuan's words without saying anything. He just played with the dagger inlaid with emerald gemstone that An Cui had just given him last night. She had made it herself.

Before Qin Shixuan could say anything, An Cui came in. Although she married a bandit, she was not at all low-key in her dress. She was still wearing brocade clothes that only rich people could afford. Even though she didn't wear many jewelry, and only used the simplest hairpin to tie up her long black hair, she had a strong aura, was confident and proud, like a queen. Wherever she went, she was not only dazzling, but also awe-inspiring. She was out of place in this village.

Qin Shixuan's heart tightened when he first saw her, and he was full of vigilance and disgust towards her.

An Cui had fought with Qin Shixuan before, so she knew that he would not say a good word about her. However, she walked over as if she didn't care at all, stepped on a few steps and came to Han Xiao. She glanced at him with a provocative and evil look, put her arms around Han Xiao's neck and sat on his lap. Han Xiao then put his arms around her waist. The two were very close, the man was tall and wild, the woman was charming and arrogant, and there was an ambiguous and passionate atmosphere.

Qin Shixuan's face turned pale, and he cursed in his heart that the man was shameless. Then, he turned around and walked away, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

"Heh." An Cui smiled meaningfully at his back, then turned around and pulled Han Xiao's beard. He originally had a beard, and he was a very handsome man with a beard, but An Cui still trimmed it. She shaved the beard on both sides of his cheeks short, but left the middle part open, and asked her to use a thin string to braid it into a pigtail or a gourd braid, making him look very individual and a little exotic.

"What did he say about me again?" An Cui scratched his chin like a cat. He grabbed her hand and kissed her hard on his lips.

"I say you have evil intentions and don't really want to be my wife." He said, staring at her dangerously with his deep eyes, as if he would pounce on her and bite her throat if she said something he didn't want to hear.

An Cui smiled, her eyes full of confidence, and she put her arm around his neck and said, "You know I have other intentions. You should also know whether I really want to be your wife."

He stared into her eyes, gradually becoming fascinated, his desire surged, and he kissed her passionately.

An Cui had never concealed her intentions, and he should have known it. It was his fault that he was just really curious at the beginning and wanted to find out her true face, to clear the fog in her eyes and peek into the scenery inside, but he ended up getting deeper and deeper into it.

After the kiss, he asked, "How big is your ambition?" Is it a city, or a region of lords? If she wanted to recruit soldiers and horses, she would definitely not shrink to this world.

An Cui then touched his lips and said with a smile: "The world."

Han Xiao was stunned.

An Cui touched forehead with him, her eyes full of ambition, "You will be my general, go and fight for me."

...

Dongshan Village became more and more famous. Not to mention the porcelain, paper, rouge and other items that were highly sought after by the nobles, the most important thing was the farm tools. The improved farm tools freed the hands of the farmers, and many tasks that were originally time-consuming and tiring could be completed in a short time. In such a difficult world, a little sweetness can be magnified hundreds of times, not to mention the common people who always live at the bottom of society?

Along with the outflow of agricultural tools, Dongshan Village also gained a reputation as a paradise on earth. More and more people flocked to Dongshan Village, and the population continued to increase. Almost with the entire Dongshan as the center, houses were built around it and fertile fields were reclaimed.

It is precisely because of this that more and more fertile land was illegally reclaimed. The land was controlled by the government. Dongshan Village established itself as the king, and it was fierce and had a special geographical location. In addition, several forces in the country were fighting for the throne, and the local army had no time to suppress the bandits at first. But as the fame and population gathered increased, some people realized that something was wrong and sent troops to suppress the bandits.

The sentry posts had already passed on the news. An Cui was quite excited. Finally, a sharpener had arrived and the troops had to see some blood.

When the news of the army coming to suppress the bandits came out, the whole Dongshan Village was shocked. Men, women, old people and children all took the weapons they could get and marched aggressively. Because of the brainwashing packages An Cui had been giving them, and their better and better lives, everyone had already regarded this temporary tribe where refugees gathered as their home.

Those nobles above are busy fighting wars and fighting for power all day long, and they don't care about their lives. If they don't care about them, others will take care of them and lead them to live a good life, but they come to destroy it. Don't you think it's infuriating?

Living with the bandits in Dongshan Village, many people inevitably developed some bandit spirit in their bones. Even the women became tough because they admired the lady of the house. No one knew who spread the news that An Cui once threatened to break Han Xiao's legs if he dared to look for other women, but everyone knew it.

Excluding these civilians, the Self-Defense Forces already had 20,000 people, and there were 1,000 female soldiers, which was several times more than the number of troops sent to suppress the bandits. An Cui had no intention of letting any of them go.

Therefore, this time An Cui did not even use bombs and crossbows, but only let the guards practice their skills, and the battle was easily won. After the baptism of this first battle, the eyes of each soldier changed, and they were no longer ordinary farm children.

And this is just the beginning.

Dongshan Village, a quietly rising force in a corner of the world, is still regarded as an ant that is not worth mentioning or even not seen by many bigwigs.

As for Yunzhu, the noble daughter of the Shanghe Yun family, who was once famous throughout the city, it was as if she had never appeared in this world. Except for Yunzhu, all the members of the Yun family arrived safely at the homes they were originally going to take refuge in. Her name was never mentioned in the letters they exchanged with each other. If she was mentioned when they were visiting or when guests came to visit, they would definitely show an embarrassed look.

Although they didn't make it public, good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The fact that Yunzhu was kidnapped by bandits had already spread throughout the circle. Over time, well-mannered people were not so boring, and they would not mention this sad thing. However, Yunchu, who once had no sense of existence, gradually emerged after Yunzhu disappeared, and soon became famous and known as a talented woman. She replaced Yunzhu and became the famous daughter of the Yun family.

Yun Chu was very satisfied with everything now. Yuan Zhen didn't like her yet, but it didn't matter. His mother and grandmother liked her and even hinted that they wanted her to be their daughter-in-law. Although she came to seek refuge, she brought a quarter of the Yun family's property with her foresight dream. Even if she was living under someone else's roof, she was very confident. Marriage between men and women is decided by parents and matchmakers. As long as she could please the two elders, she would always marry Yuan Zhen and become his legal wife. In the future, she would definitely move into the East Palace.

Yun Chu thought about this and got what he wanted two years later. The Yuan family was secretly recruiting soldiers and needed money. The Yun family was a wealthy family, and the huge amount of property Yun Chu brought could solve the Yuan family's urgent needs.

Yun Chu, who married Yuan Zhen, entered the power center of the Yuan family with the ambition and dream of becoming the most noble woman in the world. She used predictive dreams to disguise herself as a very strategic and extraordinary woman, gained the attention of her husband who had no feelings for her, and began to help her husband's family conquer the world.

She quickly thought of the group of bandits in Dongshan Village. In her precognitive dream, this group of people was very powerful, especially Han Xiao, who was a natural killer and a fierce general on the battlefield.
