Li Yushuang led the members of the Black Lotus Society in a fierce battle throughout the night, and by the time dawn broke, they had completely eliminated all the bandits from Luo Hu gang.
With this, the legend of Luo Hu gang came to an end.
After a night of fighting, Li Yushuang and her companions were utterly exhausted, and their tone of speech had softened somewhat.
Once again gathering the team, they prepared to return to Sang Village to rest for a while.
The returning group was noticeably quieter. Although Luo Hu gang had been eradicated and hostages rescued, the Black Lotus Society had also paid a heavy price with dozens of lives lost.
Despite their victorious return, there lingered a solemn and heavy atmosphere among them.
Chen You handed Li Yushuang a letter that connected Kau Shanhu with government officials.
"Miss Li, this is something found in Kau Shanhu's quarters. This group of mountain bandits has been secretly communicating with the authorities, colluding with them and oppressing the common people."
"What?"
Li Yushuang furrowed her brows tightly as she took the letters and began to read through them.
The more she read, the more alarmed she became. It dawned on her that this group of bandits was actually in collusion with the lord of Aonan Manor; no wonder they had been so audacious and had not been eradicated for so many years.
"Are these letters genuine?"
Li Yushuang's first reaction was disbelief.
But there was no need for Chen You to respond; she already knew the answer.
"How dare these people! The lord of Aonan Manor colludes with bandits, kidnapping virtuous women in broad daylight to satisfy his lust; the Governor of Guang'an Prefecture allows Kau Shanhu and others to commit heinous crimes in Guang'an Prefecture for his own selfish desires; the Governor of Nanning Prefecture even dares to hire assassins, letting Kau Shanhu and others massacre the entire the Su in Nanning..."
Chen You did not reply.
Li Yushuang did not look at the subsequent letters anymore.
In the group, there was a solemn yet tragic sense of heroism.
At this moment, the sun had just risen, red like blood on the heart, and Li Yushuang felt a chill in her heart.
Chen You's thoughts were countless.
Not long after, everyone returned to Sang Village. As soon as they entered the village, the village chief led the villagers to gather at the village entrance.
Upon seeing Yi Tsuhua rescued, the villagers expressed their gratitude to the Black Lotus Society and others.
Bai Shan was even more excited, bowing deeply and speaking with fervor.
"Thank you, heroines of the Black Lotus Society, thank you to all the heroes of the Black Lotus Society. You have saved our villagers from Sang Village and cleared away the bandit threat for us."
After saying this, he became so emotional that he stumbled over his words, dropping his cane and preparing to bow down to the ground.
"I, Bai Shan, on behalf of Sang Village, ask all heroes to accept my bow!"
Li Yushuang was quick-witted and immediately supported Bai Shan.
"Senior Bai, you cannot afford such a bow. Besides, helping those in need is the doctrine of our Black Lotus Society. The Kau Shanhu and others have been committing crimes rampantly for a long time, and our Black Lotus Society will surely eradicate them."
Then Li Yushuang glanced meaningfully at Chen You.
What secrets does this man still hold?
Or is he really just a teacher?
A teacher who knows the One Yang Finger?
After giving Chen You a deep glare, Li Yushuang withdrew his gaze and clasped his hands together.
"Everyone, now that the bandit threat has been eliminated, I have important intelligence to report to the leader, so I must take my leave. We shall meet again in the future!"
The important intelligence he referred to was naturally about the Kau Shanhu's collusion with the authorities.
Although it was just one stronghold of the Kau Shanhu for now, there were only a handful of bandits in Weihe County, and countless more in Changxiang Prefecture. If we consider the entire Aonan Manor, who knows how many " Kau Shanhu s" are colluding with the authorities.
Without waiting for anyone to persuade him to stay, Li Yushuang pulled on the reins and turned to leave.
Behind him, the members of the Black Lotus Society followed Li Yushuang's lead in a grand procession.
Chen You silently watched Li Yushuang's departing figure. Once the figures of the Black Lotus Society disappeared down the distant mountain path, Chen You finally withdrew his gaze.
When Chen You turned around, he noticed something was off; there was an extra person here.
Thinking carefully, wasn't this the person who mentioned using firearms last night?
Her name seemed to be Su Niantang.
Chen You felt extremely conflicted about whether to fire another signal flare and wait for Li Yushuang to return before telling her that there was still someone left behind.
However, he had a nagging feeling that the probability of Li Yushuang taking this woman away was only fifty-fifty, but the chance of her killing him was one hundred percent.
Chen You furrowed his brows.
"Miss, why didn't you go with those people?"
To his surprise, Su Niantang began to cry, her face resembling a weeping pear blossom.
"Young master, my parents are both deceased, and I have no home to return to. Where else could I go?"
After saying this, she covered her face with her hands, her body trembling occasionally, and soft sobs could be heard.
The village chief, Bai Shan, who had a kind nature, saw how pitiful Su Niantang was. After stroking his beard, he sighed softly.
"Girl, what is your name? Do you have anywhere to go?"
Su Niantang lowered her hands and spoke clearly: "Grandfather, my name is Su Niantang. I originally planned to seek refuge with my uncle's family, but unfortunately, they were killed by those bandits long ago. Now I am all alone."
Sang Village has a simple and honest folk culture, and Bai Shan is especially kind-hearted.
After hearing this, I couldn't bear to let this girl continue wandering. After discussing with a few people in the village, we decided to take in Su Niantang.
Chen You did not comment on what Su Niantang said. He didn't want to interact too much with this woman who could see through the truth of firearms at a glance.
Just as he was about to say something, Yi Tsuhua had already embraced Su Niantang.
Both were captured by Kau Shanhu. Although they were strangers before, they were both women after all.
Yi Tsuhua was also moved by Su Niantang's words and felt compassion.
"Sister, it's okay. Just stay at my house. Once you arrive in Sang Village, we are all family."
Upon hearing this, Su Niantang expressed her true feelings, and the two women embraced each other, crying uncontrollably.
Originally, Chen You intended to ask something else, but seeing that Su Niantang did not seem to be pretending, he decided against it.
Only Su Niantang came from a small country on the western side of Great Xia, called Western Tang.
Her real name is Tang Xieyue, the beloved youngest daughter of the Sovereign of the Western Tang, enjoying all the riches and honors of the world.
Although Western Tang is not as prosperous as the Great Xia Kingdom, it is sufficient for self-preservation.
Moreover, missionaries often come from across the ocean to Western Tang, bringing many new and interesting things from the West.
Firearms are naturally one of them.
Originally, the Western Tang and Great Xia were at peace, but a few years ago, the Great Xia Emperor unexpectedly encountered an Invincible Strategist, who led Great Xia to conquer the Zhou Kingdom. In less than three years, all the nations were unified.
As the Western Tang Princess, Tang Xieyue narrowly escaped death.
In order to seek revenge, she infiltrated the Great Xia Kingdom alone, preparing to find an Agent from Western Tang in Nanning Prefecture.
However, she was betrayed by the Agent and taken to Changxiang Prefecture. Along the way, she encountered Kau Shanhu and his group; the Agent was killed on the spot, and she was captured by Kau Shanhu, who intended to take her as his wife. She was imprisoned in a room next to Yi Tsuhua.
Fortunately, Chen You and others eliminated the bandits of Luo Hu gang, allowing her to escape.
The powerful influence of the Black Lotus Society ignited hope within her to overthrow Great Xia. After learning about Chen You's connection with the Black Lotus Society, she resolved to get close to this man.
Meanwhile, Su Niantang, who was crying, secretly vowed that she would do whatever it takes to join the Black Lotus Society and ultimately overthrow the rule of the Xia Dynasty!
