It was not until a whistling arrow pierced through the clouds that Commander Feng raised his hand and shouted, “Attack!¹¹

This was the first time Heng Yi had killed someone.

Everyone’s impression of Heng Yi was that he was a man of few words, A man who rarely says anything harsh.

However, none of the mountain bandits who approached him could leave alive. He could even divert his attention to Ltill the other bandits who were trying to save their comrades. The saber in his hand had already carved out a bloody path.

The mountain bandits of Black Wind Mountain were famous for their ruthlessness.

However, they had been stunned by Heng Yi’s overbearing power. The Chief stood on high ground, thinking for a moment before attacking Heng Yi.

The Chief had prided himself for his martial art skills, but after a few moves from Heng Yi, his saber broke and gave an opening for Heng Yi to kick him hard.

He fell far away. Lucidly, his two brothers came to save him and blocked Heng Yi’s attack. Otherwise, he would have died then and there.

“Chief, hurry up and leave!”

Thanks to these two men, the people who came to exterminate the bandits knew who the chief was.

Heng Yi naturally knew that the person he had just fought with was the leader of Black Wind Mountain, Tu Wansan.

Commander Feng said that capturing or killing this person would be of great merit.

That was why, the moment Heng Yi saw the chief of Black Wind Mountain bandits, he immediately raised his saber and attacked him.

Although Heng Yi wasn’t exactly sure if the man he spotted truly was the leader, he fought him to test his theory. And the man did not disappoint. Not only he had better skills, but also he was the man his people cared about the most. When his people saw Heng Yi attacking him, his brothers immediately came to his rescue.

They aim to protect him, even if they had to lose their life for it.

When Heng Yi saw Tu Wansan being protected by his men, he broke through the encirclement. More bandits came to block his way. The bandits wanted to come and help their chief, and these bandits knew martial arts. They robbed the people and caravans who passed by. They didn’t care about morality.

Heng Yi’s eyes were bloodshot from killing.

Especially when he saw Tu Wansan getting further and further away, and as many of the raiders who were chasing after him got injured, Heng Yi’s attacks became even faster and fiercer,

A slash of his saber and a mountain bandit fell to their death.

He fought his way out through the wall of bandits. He chased after them alone with his saber.

The old, weak, women, and children of the Black Wind Mountain had already left through the secret passage. Tu Wansan had burned the mountain village down. In the billowing smoke, Heng Yi saw Tu Wansan and the others standing on the opposite cliff.

The only wooden bridge that led to the opposite cliff had been destroyed.

The two of them stared at each other across the cliff.

Tu Wansan raised his hand and scratched his neck.

Heng Yi stood there with a dark face.

Wen Yu, Gu Jiu, and the rest caught up, every one of them panting heavily.

Looking at the bandits on the other side of the cliff, they could not help but stomp their feet.

If they let even one of these mountain bandits escape, it would undoubtedly be the same as letting the tiger return to the mountain.

“Let’s go. They’ve already started cleaning up the battlefield.”

“Okay,” Heng Yi said slowly.

Although they didn’t manage to wipe out everyone on the Black Wind Mountain, they managed to kill Soo bandits. Among them, 200 were killed by Heng Yi’s saber.

Commander Feng wanted Heng Yi to follow him to Chenzhou to receive his reward.

However,

“I’m going home.”

Gu Jiu quickly added, “His wife is pregnant and he’s going to be a father. So, he’s looking forward to his wife.”

Shop Head Wang and Constable Qin also said to Commander Feng, “It’s Heng Yi’s credit. Commander Feng, please help us deal with it.”

“Alright.”

Commander Feng knew a little about Heng Yi’s situation.

He would not argue with him over such a small matter.

And if Heng Yi didn’t want to go , he could take more credit.

He patted Heng Yi’s shoulder.

He didn’t say much.

Heng Yi went back to Puyi County alone. He felt that it was too slow to walk with everyone.

Moreover, no one could keep up with his speed.

Even then, he didn’t feel like he was fast enough, so he went to hire a carriage.

Zhao Huan’s and Zhen Niang’s Yihe Restaurant opened on the tenth day of the lunar month. The people they hired were all former chefs, waiters, and shopkeepers. They even used their previous signboards. Business was good on the first day of opening.

In addition, the two beautiful masters personally received guests, especially Zhen Niang, who was good at talking. She also brought her own charm and playfulness, which made those men with ulterior motives itch.

Han Qiao didn’t mind.

The battle had just begun, why would she be anxious?

Heng Yi arrived home at dawn on the eleventh day. When he climbed over the wall, Bai Cha almost fought him.

“Bai Cha, it’s me.”

“Big Brother? You’re back! Is the matter of exterminating the bandits settled?”

Heng Yi nodded, “How is everything at home?”

“Everything is alright.”

Heng Yi first went to Bai Cha’s courtyard to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Bai Cha brought over a bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup, and Heng Yi quickly finished it before returning to the main courtyard.

He entered the house quietly.

After getting pregnant, Han Qiao slept heavier, but Shulan, who was sleeping on her feet, immediately woke up when she heard the quiet footsteps.

“Who is it?”

“Heng Yi.”

Shulan immediately stood up, “Master is back.”

She quickly went to light the lamp and carried her clothes and bedding,

“Master, do you need me to prepare hot water and food?”

“No need. You can go.”

“Alright.”

Shulan left the room.

Heng Yi walked to the bed, lifted the curtain, and looked at Han Qiao, who was sleeping soundly He smiled slowly.

He didn’t dare to close his eyes as he ran.

He lifted the blanket and lay down. Han Qiao immediately leaned into his arms and muttered, “You’re back?”

“Yes. Now, go back to sleep.”

“Hm,” Han Qiao replied and fell asleep again.

Heng Yi didn’t sleep for two nights and so didn’t wake up in the morning as he usually did. When Han Qiao woke up, she felt a comforting warmth encasing her body. She blinked and realized that she wasn’t dreaming last night. Heng Yi really returned.

She wanted to sleep with Heng Yi for a while longer, but pregnant women urinated a lot and starved easily.

She got up and went to the washroom, rinsed her mouth, ate something to fill her stomach, and then went back to sleep with Heng Yi.

Heng Yi was young and healthy, so he was full of energy after a few hours of sleep.

On the other hand, Han Qiao slept too much and was a little lazy.

Now that there were two more capable people in the house, Housekeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Zhu, Han Qiao had no worries. Bai Cha, who knew how to do anything, was there. The children were also obedient and sensible. There was nothing else to worry about.

However, Heng Yi had returned safely, and Han Qiao was very happy, so she asked about the bandits.

Heng Yi said a few words about the battle but talked a little more about Tu Wansan burning the village down.

Butler Liu, Shopkeeper Zhu, Bai Cha, and Han Chi were also there.

“Why did he burn down the village? Isn’t that a little unnecessary?” Han Qiao wondered.

They all turned to Han Qiao.

“What do you mean?”

Han Qiao had read too many books and television dramas in her past life, so she saw things differently from everyone else.

“They burned all their traces and buried the things they didn’t want the world or the officials to know. In the future, no one will go looking for them to see if there are any useful things. It was impossible for a village to not have any old, weak, women, and children. How did these people leave?”

“There’s a broken cliff at the back of the mountain. Both sides are connected by a wooden bridge,” Heng Yi said.

“Is it possible that the news of your plan to attack Black Wind Mountain has been leaked since last year? Also, was there a spy from Black Wind Mountain within your ranks? If there was a spy, you should ask if Black Wind Mountain had any escape routes.”

Han Qiao frowned slightly at her explanation, “These Mountain Bandits are extremely vicious. After they escape, I’m afraid many civilians will suffer..”
