ewing the tea, he poured two cups and smiled kindly, " ""Have a cup of tea first to moisten your throats. Tell me what's on your mind slowly."Thank you, Master Tao.After a symbolic sip of tea, the m...The ripple's dagger plunged viciously into the barbarian's back of the head, taking his life instantly. His hand loosened and Zhang Fengrui fell. Ripple, with a broken horse leg, used her staff to lift him up, preventing him from face-planting on the ground.

Afterwards, ripples swept forward in a surge, enveloping Zhang Fengrui in her arms. At this time, Zhang Fengliang and Zhang Fengyong scrambled to Ripples' side.

Feng Liang, with two younger brothers, ran back. Someone was there to greet you!

Chang Fengrui was shaken, but the little boy clenched his lips tightly. Though his eyes were red, he didn't cry out.

Although Zhang Fengliang was dressed in rags, he was still the eldest brother. At this time, he grabbed his younger brother's hand and ran back as fast as he could. Zhang Fengyong followed closely behind.

This gap was enough for the few Hu people who had fallen from their horses to get up. They then discovered that their leader was dead, with a dagger sticking out of the back of his head. Ripple walked past them easily and pulled the dagger out.

"Oh! You monster, you dare kill our grassland warriors! I will slaughter you, skin you and make a drum out of your hide to beat you every day!"

One burly man with a tiger-skin coat, half of his shoulder exposed, roared and swung his curved saber at Ripple. The rest of the seven or eight men rushed in after him.

Ripples wasn't afraid at all. She held a staff in one hand and a dagger in the other, moving nimbly around the group of people. In the blink of an eye, she had cut through their throats. The last man who charged towards Ripples was shot in the forehead with an arrow and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The ripple of the water drew his attention to the archer. He was a young lieutenant, surrounded by ten mounted soldiers. It was clearly a cavalry unit that had chased this band of barbarians deep into the interior of Huangzhou.

"Girl, you're ruthless! You broke his horse's leg!"

A cavalryman spoke up.

"If I don't get tough, my brother is the one who dies."

The ripples had already wiped the blade clean on the Hu people's bodies, and she withdrew it from her bosom. She then bowed to them and said:

"My wife's family came from Liangzhou and wants to go to Huangfeng City for a marriage. I wonder if any of you generals could point us in the right direction"

"No problem, just follow us. We are Huang Fengcheng's defenders."

"Thank you, I'll go get my family."

The ripples turned and prepared to leave.

"Girl, these barbarian heads can be exchanged for silver. Don't you want them"

"These people weren't captured by me alone. You guys chased them relentlessly, tiring them out. I just happened to pick up the spoils of war. In the end, I even had to rely on your help. I feel deeply indebted to you all." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After finishing her story, Liàn Yī turned and went to join her family. She had already spotted Zhāng Shí and Sòng Dàchuān. The two men did not dare to approach, only watching from afar.

"Feng Xiaoqi, this ugly girl is amazing! Her moves to kill the Hu people are so quick and efficient!"

The one being called Feng Xiaqi was the squad leader, Feng Kun. He was the first to speak:

"Didn't you hear people say they came from Liangzhou Liangzhou is suffering a severe drought and famine. It's said that the refugees have already started rioting, and a hundred-man squad stationed here has been sent to Liangzhou for support.

"

They could walk from Liangzhou to here, protecting several younger brothers and family members along the way. If they weren't capable, they would have been devoured long ago.

Feng Kun just caught the eye of that ugly woman, and he smelled a hint of danger. He was sure that if he had done anything behind her back, their ending would be no different from these fallen Huns.

Here, ripples returned with three children and Zhang Shi and Song Daca. The whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially the three mothers who held their children's hands and didn't dare to let go. During their escape, nothing happened along the way, but they almost had an accident in Huangzhou, which scared them stiff.

Old Zhang finally calmed down. These were three grandsons! If anything really happened to them, she would surely die of grief.

"Grandfather, grandmother, we're lucky! We ran into Huang Fengcheng's army chasing the enemy. They're going in our direction and are willing to escort us for a while."

After the ripples passed, they shared this good news to dispel the gloom.

"Really Would they be willing"

"Willing! I've captured those barbarians for them, and with the rewards going to them, they'll be more than willing to help us out."

Ripple immediately explained.

"Big sister was amazing, she knocked over all those horses. The Hu people without horses couldn't run far and were caught."

Zhang Fengliang eased his tension and immediately told everyone about Lian's bravery.

After this incident, the Zhang family traveled with Feng Kun's cavalry unit. In fact, they were not far from Huangfeng City anyway. After two days of travel, they saw the city walls of Huangfeng City.

Finally here!

All the Zhang family members expressed their feelings.

Ripple didn't mince words, and directly approached Feng Kun, asking him to introduce someone who could help them settle in a nearby village.

"Alright, I'll take you there. That way they won't bully you just because you're from out of town."

Feng Kun readily agreed, after all, they had received the rewards and helping out was also a way to repay their favors.

Because Fung Kuen, a local snake, was present, Ya Xing enthusiastically welcomed the Ripple group and found a suitable location in Qianshui Village, five miles away from Huangfeng City.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were introduced by Feng Xiaqi, I would have kept these fields for a while longer and definitely sold them at a higher price!"

The man spat wildly and said.

Ripple just wanted to roll her eyes. She knew this was their usual tactic. After the other party finished speaking, Ripple spoke,

"Thank you, Zhang ge. We are distant relatives of Feng Xiaqi. Our family has suffered a disaster, so we came to rely on him. For Feng Xiaqi's sake, you have to help us!"

Lián yī is not afraid to make a big show of it.

"Mr. Liu, a wealthy man from Qianshui Village, had his daughter married to someone in the Jiangnan region. They were planning to move there as a family, so they wanted to sell their fifty mu of land and two-entry house. Let me know if you're interested in buying."

The person in the chapter's eyes flashed, and they immediately opened their mouth to speak.

"Are all fifty acres of land high-quality or medium quality Are the two courtyards built with earth or brick and tile"

Old Zhang asked very carefully.

"The fields were all top-grade, occupying ten acres. The rest were of medium quality. The house was brick-walled. The Liu family, including their servants, had only lived there for less than five years. They originally intended to find a suitable son-in-law for their only daughter."

"The result was that the daughter of someone's family was beautiful and caught the eye of a fourth-rank official. He proposed to the Liu family directly, and if they hadn't been in such a hurry to go to Jiangnan, they wouldn't have sold her off so urgently."

"Alright, let's go see it in person. Buying a house and land is a big deal after all. After we pay the money, we still need to get the deed from the government office, right"

Old Zhang said.

"That's no problem, you were introduced by Feng Xiaoqi. He gave me the courage to speak to you; I wouldn't dare to deceive you."

Then, the family split up, with some waiting in Huangfeng City while the male members went to look at houses.

Liàn Yī then pulled Song Dāchuān aside and whispered to him:

"Father, that house has nothing to do with us, so let's just take a look. You should mainly focus on the land, and then buy a piece of residential land in Qianshui Village. We can build our own house."

Okay, I understand!compete with these people. Thankfully, they were smart enough to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and they knew how to work together. But it was clear they wouldn't be able to hold...
