Zhao Hao took a deep breath. Is this what the feudal era is like?
They don't treat people like human beings; they turn people into something less than human!
He had known all along that these things had been going on. Why did he forget to order his men to handle it properly?
Filled with remorse, Zhao Hao looked at the woman who had already been slapped by a member of the Huang family.
Du Yue, a beautiful woman from the late Han Dynasty, was 24 years old.
Command: 12, Martial: 11, Intelligence: 71, Politics: 59, Charisma: 95
Personality traits: 1. Supportive and helpful; 2. Modest and reserved.
3. **Overwhelming Morale (Enemy morale slowly declines within visual range)**
Zhao Hao's pupils contracted slightly. Wasn't this Qin Yilu's woman?
How did she get abducted to Shangdang?
"Uncle Hao, thank you. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should go back now."
"This... General, please be careful. I'll be going now."
After Hao's father had gone far away, Zhao Hao whistled to Yuwen Chengdu and Guan Sheng, who were hiding nearby.
"Young Master!"
If Yuwen Chengdu is now as strong as a mountain, then Guan Sheng is like a small hill.
Zhao Hao provided them with good food and drink every day to help them practice martial arts. If they didn't even look strong enough, he would punish them!
"Guan Sheng, take my warrant and summon all your personal guards here! At the same time, have that scoundrel Wei Ran lead five thousand county soldiers here immediately!"
"promise!"
Zhao Hao glanced at Yuwen Chengdu beside him and asked in an extremely cold tone.
"What if someone takes a fancy to your Lai Ying'er?"
"Make them red bean paste!"
"What if someone takes a fancy to your comrade's wife?"
"Send them to the palace and let them become Zhang Rang's sisters!"
Zhao Hao was very satisfied with Yuwen Chengdu's reply. This ruthless yet loyal Yuwen Chengdu was much better than the one who always hid his true nature!
"Some of the things I learned in Chengdu before were taken out of context."
Today, I need to reiterate something with you.
"Please, young master, instruct me!"
"Yes, the previous interpretation of 'at sixty, one can hear and understand' was taken out of context. Now, I will tell you the complete true interpretation of 'at thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one is free from doubt; at fifty, one knows the mandate of heaven; at sixty, one can hear and understand'; and at seventy, one can follow one's heart's desire!"
"Hmm...that sounds complicated?"
"It's not that complicated. Thirty people are enough for me to stand up and fight; forty people, I can rush up and beat them without hesitation! Fifty people, I'll beat them to a pulp; sixty people, if they have to beg me to kneel down and talk nicely, I'll barely agree not to kill them; if seventy people dare to gang up on me? Then I can kill them at will!"
Yuwen Chengdu nodded repeatedly, carefully memorizing Zhao Hao's latest 'speech' annotations.
"Young master, how many people will we be facing this time?"
"I don't know, we might have to deal with as many people as there are in this village!"
"Oh! That's definitely more than seventy people!"
"Hehe, that's right!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao gestured to Yuwen Chengdu to follow, and they walked step by step toward Du Yue.
"Are you two going to start arguing or not?"
After being reprimanded by Zhao Hao, the Huang family members immediately wanted to turn around and curse Zhao Hao back.
But upon seeing Zhao Hao's full armor and expensive animal hide cloak, his anger subsided considerably.
With the exceptionally tall and strong Yuwen Chengdu following behind Zhao Hao, even if they wanted to fight, they didn't think they could defeat someone like that...
Monster.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I'll drag this wretched woman back right away, and I promise I won't disturb you!"
Huang the butcher was very sensible. He could tell at a glance that these two were not simple people. He immediately tried to use brute force to pull Du Yue back into the room.
Zhao Hao had already crossed the fence outside his house and was gripping his wrist tightly.
"Get your dirty hands off my brother's woman..."
Take it away!
Bang!
With a flick of Zhao Hao's wrist, Butcher Huang was sent flying like a chick, crashing hard into a rack where cured meat was drying.
"Sister-in-law, we are Qin Yilu's friends. Are you alright?"
Seeing Zhao Hao reach out to help him up, and claiming to be Qin Yilu's friend.
Du Yue burst into tears and threw herself into Zhao Hao's arms.
Zhao Hao smiled helplessly, looking at Yuwen Chengdu, who was clearly trying to cover up his misunderstanding.
"Well, she jumped right in here. Chengdu, you'll have to be my witness then, I'm innocent, she did it voluntarily!"
Yuwen Chengdu chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, I understand, I understand everything!"
