Chapter 764 The Matchmaker

Lian Qiao looked at Lin Yuesha in surprise and scolded, "Have you lost your mind? Even if you're trying to gain favor, you shouldn't risk your life like this. Besides, after today..."

After today, perhaps there will never be a first village among the forty-eight villages.

The chief of the Eighteen Villages was ambitious and wanted to unite the forty-eight villages into one place and become the chief himself, but he was opposed by Yu Qiuniang and a few others.

Perhaps that's why that person held a grudge and came up with this plan to eliminate the First Stronghold.

Since they cannot be submitted, the choice is to eliminate them.

“Many hands make light work. Not everyone in the Eighteen Villages knows martial arts; they’re just strong men. I’m not afraid.”

Having witnessed countless battles, Lin Yuesha possessed a strong inner strength. She carried a dagger with her, ensuring she wouldn't be a hindrance.

Every single person in the Eighteen Villages is a motley crew of scoundrels, thieves and prostitutes. Killing one of them would be doing justice on behalf of Heaven.

"You still have a chance to back out."

Upon reaching an open area, the group, armed with wooden sticks, knives, and other items, blocked the path up the mountain, preparing to deal with the people from the Eighteen Villages.

"There's no going back, just do it!"

Lin Yuesha refused to back down. Holding up the dagger in her hand, she said, "Last night I mentioned to all the sisters that I wanted to join the First Stronghold. Although the leader didn't approve, I am still a member of the First Stronghold, and I should stand with my sisters through thick and thin."

Once the first stronghold is breached by the eighteen strongholds, the other strongholds that are on good terms with Yu Qiuniang but are unwilling to submit to the eighteen strongholds will become the next targets for trouble.

Therefore, at this time, someone must go down the mountain to deliver a message and inform the other village chiefs of the implications.

The First Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the people of the Eighteen Villages once occupied it for a period of time and are familiar with its layout. In terms of the situation, the First Village has no advantage whatsoever.

To fight those people, we can't just rely on the sisters to stand up to them; we have to call for reinforcements.

“Miss Lin, you are right.”

After careful consideration, Lian Qiao thought that Lin Yuesha's analysis made a lot of sense. Otherwise, since they had always lived in peace, the people of the Eighteen Villages would not have stirred up trouble in such a short time.

The sisters of the first village were not afraid to fight against forty-three people, and if more people joined in, the team would be even stronger.

Since there's no way out, let's fight!

"If your First Stronghold unites with the others to defeat the Forty-Three Strongholds, then Chief Yu, could you perhaps consider cooperating on military supplies?"

Lin Yuesha was energized, it seemed there was a way to solve the problem of military supplies.

Forsythia: ...

Why haven't you come down the mountain yet?

Yu Qiuniang sat calmly in the chair, waiting for the people from the Eighteen Villages to break down the door and rush in.

She took a sip of tea, ate two pastries, and raised an eyebrow at Lin Yuesha, saying, "Staying in the First Village is dangerous."

"I know, but I already agreed last night to join the First Stronghold. I am a sister of the First Stronghold, and I swear to live and die with the First Stronghold!"

Lin Yuesha clenched her fist, her words stirring the crowd with passion.

Yu Qiuniang rarely smiled, but she was amused by Lin Yuesha's words and her lips twitched. When did she agree to let this little girl join the First Village? Besides, it wasn't to the point of sharing life and death.

She had already sent a message to Yang Qing, the leader of the Sixteenth Stronghold. In another half hour, Yang Qing's men would come up from the back mountain, and the two sides would join forces to catch the Eighteenth Stronghold off guard.

She was willing to give up Qiu Niang's life at any time, so she was never afraid of anything. Once the eighteen villages were eliminated and the villains were sent to their deaths, the forty-eight villages could be reshuffled and restored to peace tomorrow.

The chief of the Eighteenth Village was completely unaware of the alliance between the First Village and the Sixteenth Village; otherwise, he wouldn't have led his men to cause trouble without calling his lackeys.

If the other forty-odd villages were to unite, that would be truly difficult to handle.

Tonight, before the news gets out, Yu Qiuniang is going to do something big: wipe out all these scumbags who deserve to die long ago.

When the chieftain of the Eighteen Villages led several hundred people up the mountain and saw this battle, he immediately realized that the women of the First Village were not completely unprepared.

Looking at the hundreds of misfits in the group, Lin Yuesha once again confirmed the saying that appearance reflects the heart.

The leader of the eighteen strongholds, Hong Niangzi, was a petite woman, yet she wore a red dress and her every move was extremely alluring.

Lin Yuesha had seen quite a few men dressed as women. Ziyuan was stunningly beautiful, even more so than a woman. The heavily made-up maid was a bit ugly, but still relatively normal. Even the murderous young master Yu did not have the same sense of revulsion as the person in front of her.

The matchmaker swayed her hips and spoke with delicate gestures, exuding an air of perfume.

"Anyone can become a chieftain?"

Lin Yuesha shuddered, feeling a chill run down her spine. It was disgusting.

"Miss Lin, you mustn't judge a book by its cover."

Lian Qiao pointed at Hong Niangzi and said, "Do you think he committed some crime that led to his exile to the Northwest? Don't assume he's innocent just because he's not as tall as three pieces of tofu."

"Judging from his appearance, he is definitely associated with harassing men."

Lin Yuesha was reading Hong Niangzi's face, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything too offensive, and "flirting" wasn't quite the right word either.

"You noticed that?"

If it were just about flirting with men, perhaps there would be no need to exile her to the Northwest. Hong Niangzi preferred burly men, the kind who were tall, broad-shouldered, and thick-waisted. In her early years, she stole valuables in the martial arts world and built a garden for herself. Under the pretext of hiring people to work, she sought out strong men to do the work.

These men, unaware of the situation, assumed the wages were high, but upon arrival they were detained, chained, and forced to become matchmakers.

Those who refused were tortured and then killed and buried to be used as fertilizer, while those who obeyed enjoyed a life of luxury with him.

Later, a man went missing. His younger brother reported it to the authorities and sought help from martial arts practitioners. After much trouble, they finally managed to capture Hong Niangzi.

"Doesn't that mean there are quite a few of his lovers among the people of the Eighteen Villages?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't bear to look, so she took a step back and hid behind Yu Qiuniang.

"Yu Qiuniang, it's been so long since we last met."

Hong Niangzi opened her arms and sweetly pleaded with the burly man next to her, "Sweetie, I want a hug!"

Without saying a word, the big man lifted Hong Niangzi up with both hands and held her in his arms.

Lin Yuesha almost vomited, but the sisters of the First Village were not affected at all, as they were already used to it.

"Red Maiden, you've brought the whole village to my First Village tonight. Are you here as a guest?"

Yu Qiuniang fiddled with the knife in her hand, trying to buy time.

"To clarify, it wasn't everyone from the village, including my little darling. Our three village chiefs didn't come."

After finishing her sentence, Hong Niangzi tossed her hair with her hand and said flirtatiously, "I was too rough in the first half of the night, and I did it too many times, so he can't come right now."

"vomit……"

Lin Yuesha spat out a mouthful of acidic water. She held her breath and counted down three seconds, waiting for the guards sent by the pockmarked man to pierce the man's throat with bamboo skewers. However, the guards did not make a move.
