Only after watching Youchu and the others return did Li Chang'an glare menacingly at the junior officer.
"Come on, let's talk about what's between us now."
The junior officer felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and instinctively wanted to run away: "I have nothing to say. I admit defeat. Let's go."
He turned around and tried to run away.
"Did I say you could leave?" Li Chang'an pointed the Gatling gun at them, his tone icy.
"So what do you want?" The lackey trembled at his appearance and asked, looking up at him.
Seeing his pretentious manner, Li Chang'an scoffed.
"Well? I'm a cultured person, I don't like fighting with knives and guns. Come on, let's talk things out."
Hearing this, the lackey grew bolder.
If we're being reasonable, then it's fine.
Anyway, we don't understand the ways of scholars. Once you've finished speaking, we'll just beg for mercy, and that'll be enough.
Once we get back to the army, I'll call the others together and then I'll tell you about the principles of being a soldier.
The junior officer couldn't help but laugh; it seemed this rich young master was actually a scholar.
That makes things easier.
"Then explain your reasoning."
Li Chang'an smiled and said, "My philosophy is that in the next life, I hope to be reborn into a better family."
"Beep—bang bang bang—"
He pulled the trigger, the Gatling gun spun around, and the sound of bangs echoed continuously.
The gun barrels glowed blue as bullets struck the junior officer, cleaving him in two.
This is why Li Chang'an wanted to force You Chu into the house.
He didn't want Youchu to see such a bloody scene.
The lackey stared wide-eyed at Li Chang'an in disbelief, with only one thought in his mind.
You launched a sneak attack; that shows a lack of martial ethics.
That was his last thought. As the gun moved, he was shot in two.
The villagers covered their ears and trembled as they looked at Li Chang'an.
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, who turns 3,600 times in one breath, with great compassion to save all sentient beings.
Li Chang'an kept firing until nothing in front of him could stand up again before he finally put down the trigger.
Looking at the bloodied and mangled officers, Li Chang'an felt no disgust, only a sense of pleasure.
This was the first time he had killed someone in this world.
It felt pretty good, but unfortunately there wasn't enough.
"Pooh"
Li Chang'an spat on the ground and turned around to see the villagers trembling.
He clasped his hands together, looking compassionate and sympathetic.
“Amitabha, do not be afraid. Just now, the Buddha could not bear to see them doing evil, so he asked me to send them to see the Buddha so that they could be delivered.”
The villagers saw the son-in-law's appearance but had no idea what he was saying.
"Brother Li, is that you?"
Wang Zhongxian's voice came from behind him.
Li Chang'an looked back and saw Eunuch Wang riding a horse, followed not far behind by a large group of cavalry.
Upon seeing so many people and horses, the villagers all turned pale and sat down on the ground.
It’s over!
The son-in-law just killed a few auxiliary soldiers, and now they've come to take revenge.
This was the villagers' idea: if their soldiers were killed in front of a large army, wouldn't the enemy seek revenge?
Li Chang'an didn't care if he really wanted revenge.
Then don't blame me for summoning the Emperor's Armor and showing them what it means to be unparalleled and what it means to be a god descended to earth.
What does it mean that I, Li Chang'an, am invincible among men without any cheat codes?
"Is Brother Wang here to help them get revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongxian couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Brother Li, you're joking. I just heard the thunder rumbling, but I couldn't see any lightning in the sky, so I couldn't help but come over following the sound."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Menghe.
No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince led the army this way.
Even though Jiayang Pass is in the north, they insisted on going out of the city through the west gate.
No wonder the princess only allowed the prince to take three thousand cavalrymen, yet he dared to go to Jiayang Pass to rescue people.
So that's where the backup plan was.
Princess, you're quite the schemer. But aren't you afraid that Brother Li will find out and make you unhappy?
"Hsing Yun greets Mr. Li. Please forgive me, as I am wearing armor and it is inconvenient for me to bow to you."
Meng Xingyun removed his face armor and bowed to Li Chang'an.
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities. What brings you here, with so many soldiers? Could it be that you've come to cause trouble for me?"
When Li Chang'an saw him remove his face armor, he noticed that Meng Xingyun and Meng He were also in the group.
He was accompanied by a dashing, sharp-looking middle-aged woman.
They don't look like people you want to mess with.
Looking at the bloody and mangled scene before him, Meng He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
I felt more and more like I had been given a second chance at life.
Thinking of this, he smiled kindly at Wang Zhongxian.
Wang Zhongxian's lips twitched slightly, which could be considered a return gesture.
For some reason, this grandmaster from the Meng family has been acting all grateful these past few days.
We didn't know him before.
"Sir, you're joking. How could Nebula possibly bring people to cause you trouble?"
When Meng Xingyun saw Li Chang'an looking at Meng He beside him, she immediately understood her mother's plan.
We need to find a way to drag Mr. [Name] into this mess.
"Then why did some soldiers come to my village to rob money and grain, and even try to kidnap my wife?"
Li Chang'an said in an unfriendly tone.
Upon hearing his words, the villagers' legs, which they had just managed to control, began to tremble again.
Son-in-law, with so many soldiers and troops, you shouldn't be so arrogant.
