Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1452: Lord Ghost Ran Away

Junzi Sword, Murdering Knife.

The sword is called a Junzi because it is impractical.

In a battle between two armies, if you use a sword to hack at someone, at most it can break the skin. Once it hits a bone, your sword becomes useless.

However, the weapon used by the Gu Family can cut through broadswords and bones. It should be a knife, but Lu Zi has never seen such a long and thin knife.

"Besides this very sharp knife, the Gu Family also has poisons, various weapons, and a large group of people hidden in the shadows. This time, the Hundred Wolves Mountain was really deceived by her." Lu Zi said.

Uncle Dong lost all steadiness after hearing this and angrily cursed Gu Jinli: "That poisonous woman, how insidious! The Ding Family will not let her go!"

Boss Bai was also furious: "I’ve seen many women, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a deceitful, cunning, and secretive poisonous woman like the Gu Family."

The Nine Villages Bandits of Hundred Wolves Mountain were severely poisoned by the Gu Family’s poison this time!

Lord Ghost sneered after hearing this. The Gu Family is vicious? Using poison is insidious? But clearly, you were the ones who used poison first, why curse others when their poison is more effective? Can’t afford to lose?

"Lord Ghost, the Gu Family is too hard to deal with. Please, grant us more poison. I’ll personally lead people to slaughter the Gu Family!" Uncle Dong pleaded, vowing to kill Gu Jinli to avenge Ding Changwei and the Shadow Guards of the Ding Family who died.

Lord Ghost asked back: "Lu Chong, Sixth Village Chief, Third Village Chief, Ding Changwu, Ding Changwei, five groups attacked the Gu Family, and she was unharmed. Not only did she rescue Mrs. Ji, but she also poisoned eighty percent of the five groups, and only a dozen brothers returned. And you still won’t admit defeat?"

Initially seeing You Xi and others spreading poison and using poison to counter poison, Lord Ghost was only surprised, finding the Gu Family interesting. But after five groups attacked, Lord Ghost almost admired the Gu Family.

For a refugee family with such skills, he’s never seen anything like it in decades.

Meeting such a person, regardless of gender or origin, deserves respect. If one wants to deal with them, it can’t be done head-on; a different approach is necessary.

Uncle Dong anxiously asked: "What do you mean by this, Lord Ghost? This time, to kill bandits and swallow soldiers, the Ding Family has invested more than half of its manpower and resources. If it fails, the Ding Family will suffer heavy losses!"

It’s not just heavy losses; Ding Changwu and others were captured alive. If they are sent to the government, the fact that the Ding Family hired bandits to attack the Kangrong army can’t be covered up. Once this reaches the Capital, Your Majesty will be furious, and the Ding Family will face the extermination of three clans.

The Ding Family will not admit defeat and can’t afford to lose now!

Lord Ghost laughed: "Whether you admit defeat is your business, but our Eagle Food Gang does not intend to get involved."

What!

Uncle Dong turned pale and quickly dismounted, kneeling to plead: "Lord Ghost, please have mercy. You can’t abandon the Ding Family at this time. The Ding Family will offer an additional ten thousand taels of gold to the Eagle Food Gang! We beg Lord Ghost for help!"

Ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is no small amount.

Boss Bai also put on a serious face and pleaded: "Lord Ghost, please grant another batch of poisons to the brothers. Tonight’s matter concerns the life and death of the Hundred Wolves Mountain Nine Villages. Please stay and help the brothers fight for it."

Lord Ghost looked at Boss Bai: "You’re exaggerating. Tonight, those who died and were poisoned were bandits from other villages. Your White Wolf Village bandits were hardly hurt. Even if you face a major defeat tonight, you’ll still be the bandit leader of the Nine Village Bandits when you return. Plus, with other villages’ bandits losing more, your position will remain more stable."

Seeing Boss Bai attempting to speak, Lord Ghost raised his hand to interrupt: "If things don’t work out for you at Hundred Wolves Mountain, you can come to the Northwest Eagle Food Gang. Our Eagle Food Gang can still provide for you."

Hearing this, Boss Bai’s face changed: "Lord Ghost is not willing to help?"

Lord Ghost didn’t reply but threw a bag of poison to Boss Bai and called Lu Zi: "Let’s go."

"Yes." Lu Zi mounted the horse and left with Lord Ghost.

Boss Bai was stunned, and Uncle Dong was even more shocked—Lord Ghost really left!

"Lord Ghost, Lord Ghost!" Uncle Dong shouted, but Lord Ghost and his horse were already out of sight.

But Lord Ghost and his companion didn’t go far. Instead, they rode closer to the "battlefield," standing at a high point, watching the entire battle scene.

The people on the Gu Family side were gathering more and more, and the Third Village Chief couldn’t hold on anymore and was already fleeing on horseback.

But the Gu Family was ruthless, and chased him with a man and a woman, shooting three sharp arrows from their sleeves, bringing down the Third Village Chief and his horse.

"Lord Ghost, it was three arrows shot almost simultaneously, they were fired so quickly that it was almost as if they were launched together. It’s a crossbow arrow we haven’t seen before." Lu Zi was surprised and asked Lord Ghost: "What is the Gu Family’s background? Not only do they have different knives, but they also have different crossbow arrows."

Lord Ghost shook his head: "It’s not something made, probably just improved. Lord Ying also has such crossbow arrows, which are even more formidable than those used by the Gu Family, capable of firing five arrows with similarly short intervals."

However...

"The Gu Family is indeed a rare talent, making potent poisons and antidotes, clever and capable of leading troops."

That guy named Qin is not blind; the Gu Family was a worthy marriage.

Lu Zi, upon hearing this, asked: "Does Lord Ghost mean to capture them for the Eagle Food Gang?"

Lord Ghost smiled at this and shook his head: "Capture them for what? I’ve heard the Gu Family stinks. Do you want the mountain to reek of their rotten egg smell?"

Lu Zi recalled the stench of rotten eggs wafting in the cold wind from behind a small slope and turned pale, shaking his head hurriedly: "I don’t want that, it’s a bit nauseating."

Lord Ghost, after hearing this, said nothing and instead looked in another direction... where Qin San Lang was, riding on horseback, leading soldiers from the Xie, Niu, and Liu families, using poison, sharp arrows, and hidden hands to lay flat a large number of bandits surrounding them. The remaining bandits didn’t dare to approach.

Ding Ge was in a hurry, didn’t expect Qin San Lang to still have backup plans, and feared that tonight would be the end.

But he couldn’t lose. Losing would mean losing the Ding Family’s support and continuing to be a not-well-regarded small Company Commander. He was tired of being looked down upon.

"Where are the Niu Family’s people? Haven’t they been captured yet?!" Ding Ge grabbed Ding Changsheng’s collar and asked.

Ding Changsheng shook his head: "Master, we’ve sent people to capture them, please wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what? Qin San Lang is almost poisoning all our people; how can we wait?!" Ding Ge cursed Qin San Lang: "Qin San Lang is insidious and devious, using poison during a battle, despicable coward!"

Say, wasn’t it you who used poison first and called the Nine Villages Bandits to help, bullying with more numbers, and not allowing others to retaliate with poison?

"Second Village Chief, Fifth Tribe Chief, send more men. The Ding Family will give you more gold." Ding Ge had no choice but to have the Second Village Chief, Fifth Tribe Chief continue leading bandits to attack Qin San Lang.

The Fifth Tribe Chief cursed: "It’s always our village’s brothers fighting. Why don’t your over three hundred soldiers fight? You talk about more gold; if we want the Ding Family’s gold, we can just rob the Ding Family! Why risk so much? We’ve already lost dozens of brothers!"
