A full five or six carts of jewels and silver gleamed enticingly under the sunlight, dazzling Su Meiniang's eyes with delight.
Her eyes widened in greed as she gazed at the treasures, her heart murmuring, Money! This is all genuine gold and silver!
That corrupt official had reportedly held his position for a full eight years, with three years as governor and a fortune of one hundred thousand taels of silver. What a massive wealth that must be!
“ demon!” Su Meiniang turned, puffing out her chest, boldly fixing her gaze on someone. “From now on, you belong to me!”
“Miss, I am Wen Qian,” demon replied, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, implying that she should call him by his given name.
Thus, Wen Qian officially settled in Chaoyang Village.
Some say that handsome men are often just pretty boys, but that is simply a fallacy!
Wen Qian was indeed good-looking like demon, yet he was far from being a pretty boy.
He was skilled in martial arts, capable of single-handedly bringing peace to the entire village; his sharp mind and quick thinking allowed him to manage the affairs of the mountain stronghold with remarkable efficiency.
Ever since Wen Qian joined mountain stronghold, Su Meiniang had become nothing more than a nominal Big Boss, merely going through the motions.
The Second-in-Command watched all this unfold with joy in his heart, feeling pleased that their Big Boss had finally done something right!
However, the more outstanding Wen Qian became, the more unsettled the Second-in-Command felt deep down.
It is said that a solid camp has flowing soldiers, and a tall tree attracts the wind. What if one day Wen Qian has his walls undermined?
To keep someone, one must first win their heart.
The Second-in-Command believes that to untie the knot, one must have tied it in the first place. If Wen Qian has no feelings for their Big Boss, would he willingly surrender and let Big Boss easily reclaim his territory?
Moreover, this is a matter of mutual consent. Wasn't it love at first sight that led Big Boss to intercept Wen Qian on his journey?
The Second-in-Command, who was eagerly anticipating a celebratory feast, hit a major snag when he approached Su Meiniang.
Before the Second-in-Command could finish his thought, Su Meiniang hurled a teacup at him, sending him crashing out the door. Her furious shout nearly toppled the roof of Juyi Hall.
“Without him, I can still hold up the entire mountain stronghold!”
In truth, Su Meiniang does have feelings for Wen Qian.
In her arduous journey through time, encountering a high-quality handsome man like Wen Qian was an unexpected surprise she never dreamed of.
However, that does not mean she can accept the proposal to marry him just to keep him in mountain stronghold.
In Su Meiniang's view, love should be pure and clean, as unblemished as a white lotus. Adding any ulterior motives to it is shameful and unforgivable! Either love passionately or face death with dignity!
To prove that she can stand on her own, Su Meiniang secretly left mountain stronghold with a few trusted companions, keeping it from both the Second-in-Command and Wen Qian.
“Failing Means Sacrifice!”
Before setting off, Su Meiniang stood at the front of the group, her expression solemn as she addressed everyone for the pre-battle rally. She waved her arms dramatically, delivering a stirring speech before preparing to give the order to march.
“Boss, what does ‘Failing Means Sacrifice’ mean?” However, Su Meiniang had forgotten that nearly all the members of mountain stronghold were illiterate!
“It means if we fail, we all die!” Su Meiniang suppressed the urge to spit blood, tilting her head back and helplessly gazing at the sky.
It seemed that misfortune was following her; even drinking cold water felt like it was getting stuck in her teeth!
Before descending the mountain, Su Meiniang surely hadn’t checked the almanac; otherwise, how could she have encountered such natural enemies as the officials and soldiers right away?
If it had been just some ordinary county constables, it might have been manageable. But instead, she ran into the Red-Clothed Constables.
When officials and thieves meet, the outcome is naturally predictable!
With only a few moves of mountain stronghold ’s flashy but ineffective techniques, Su Meiniang ’s ragtag team stood no chance against the Red-Clothed Regular Army.
It didn’t take long before they were defeated.
