Chapter 1557: Beaten Up
Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: Beaten Up
Chief Commander Lin and Company Commander Peng heard the commotion and rushed over, pointing at Guo Daming: "Company Commander Wu is right, Guo Daming, you must take us to Lei Family’s Manor, or you’re not going anywhere!"
They threatened Guo Daming further: "Your hometown is Linhe Prefecture, so think it over before making a decision, or else if anything happens to your family back home, don’t blame us."
Exploiting their power!
Guo Daming was extremely angry but didn’t dare show it to the three of them due to concern for his family back home, and could only continue explaining: "Brothers, the manor belongs to the Lei Family, Zhang Yan can’t decide on his own, how could I possibly have the ability to take you there?"
"Ha, not listening, huh? Then let’s show you who really calls the shots here!" Company Commander Wu immediately attacked Guo Daming, giving him a harsh beating.
Seeing this, Guo Daming’s wife and children cried desperately, wanting to save him but afraid of getting hurt, so they could only be anxious.
The soldier who delivered the message hadn’t gone far; hearing the commotion here, he looked back, then rode back to report to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan listened and immediately went to find Qin San Lang to discuss a rescue plan.
At this time, it was already completely dark; Qin San Lang was having dinner when Zhang Yan rushed in, and took him to find Uncle Kunzi to explain everything.
Kunzi said: "Don’t worry, I’ll take the Lei Family’s Trading Team over and beat those three bastards until even their mothers wouldn’t recognize them!"
"Thank you, Uncle Kunzi." Zhang Yan was deeply grateful and wanted to follow, but Kunzi stopped him: "No need for Company Commander Zhang to go, they will start nitpicking if you go; the Lei Family’s Trading Team doesn’t need to worry about them and can take action directly when they arrive."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately let go and allowed Kunzi to leave.
Kunzi promptly gathered the Lei Family’s Trading Team, together with the returning soldiers, and rushed to the foot of the mountain where Guo Daming’s camp was, seeing Guo Daming’s hand was broken, he was furious and shouted: "Go, beat those three bastards to death!"
"Yes!" The Lei Family’s Trading Team roared and charged forward, knocking down a batch of soldiers in front before grabbing onto Company Commander Wu and the others and started beating them.
Company Commander Wu was shocked and furious, shouting: "Stop, stop, I am from the Wu Family in Linhe Prefecture, you dare... ah!"
But the more he said this, the harder he was beaten.
The Lei Family’s Trading Team, capable of doing business with Da Rong, matched the fierceness of bandits, and when they fought, they fought to kill, beating Chief Commander Lin and Company Commander Peng half to death, they knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Mercy, mercy... we were wrong; we won’t trouble Guo Daming again... ah!"
They begged for mercy while being hit.
Only when Company Commander Wu started begging for mercy did Kunzi order the Lei Family’s Trading Team to stop, and he stepped on Company Commander Wu’s face, sneering: "You, Wu, really have a death wish, daring to bully those under Lei Family’s Trading Team protection; is it that your whole family wants to die suddenly?"
The Lei Family’s Trading Team had done door extermination to enemies, and news of this had spread widely, known even by people in the south.
Thinking of this, Company Commander Wu was scared to death: "Mercy, mercy~"
Kunzi sneered: "Ha, ungrateful fool, you think the Wu Family is so capable? Let me warn you, if your Wu Family dares to harm the family of Guo Daming and these soldiers, Lei Family’s Trading Team will exterminate your Wu Family entirely!"
Wu Family, once a noble family with some power, now it was just a large family with many members, could Lei Family’s Trading Team fear the Wu Family?
Company Commander Wu was truly frightened, trembling as he spoke: "Yes, I understand~"
"Pah, I don’t care if you understand you don’t understand! If you don’t, go die!" After saying this, Kunzi told Guo Daming’s eldest son: "Pack up, tonight you’re coming to Lei Family’s Manor with us."
Guo Zhou was extremely excited, choking up as he spoke: "O-of course, kid will go notify everyone."
Clang, clang, clang!
"Lei Family’s Manor has come to take us, everyone quickly pack up and follow us to Lei Family’s Manor!"
Upon hearing this, everyone saw hope and immediately started packing; two hours later, they finally tidied up and followed Kunzi to Lei Family’s Manor.
Before leaving, Kunzi also warned Company Commander Wu: "Wu, Lei Family’s Trading Team has a reputation in the south as well, don’t think your Wu Family’s wrongdoings there are unknown to us!"
"I dare not, dare not~" Company Commander Wu was scared to death, hurriedly said words of pleading, and only when Kunzi and the others were far away did he dare to call for someone to carry him to the tent for treatment.
Both Chief Commander Lin and Company Commander Peng regretted intensely; had they known, they wouldn’t have followed Company Commander Wu. Now short on soldiers and supplies and having offended Lei Family’s Trading Team, they couldn’t be sure if they’d survive to reach Northwest Camp.
Both hated Company Commander Wu, and this team was essentially falling apart.
...
Guo Daming and the others safely arrived at Lei Family’s Manor, after bustling for another two hours, they finally settled down, ate a warm meal with meat, consulted with the doctor, and rested.
Originally intending to thank Qin San Lang, but Zhang Yan stopped them, saying it was too late and to thank him tomorrow.
Guo Daming and others listened and had no choice but to comply.
The next day, under Zhang Yan’s introduction, Guo Daming met Qin San Lang: "Company Commander Qin, thank you for saving our lives!"
If it weren’t for Company Commander Qin, they would have been continuously oppressed by Company Commander Wu, and their family back home would have been threatened by the Wu Family, living in anxiety.
Qin San Lang said: "We are all comrades against Kangrong, no need for these words. But since you’re going with us to Northwest Camp, you must adhere to the rules of our troop."
He handed the rulebook to Guo Daming, telling him to take it back, watch it, and explain the rules to the soldiers and family under him.
Added: "The accompanying family members must be properly restrained, don’t cause any trouble."
Otherwise, it would trouble Xiao Yu, and he didn’t want Xiao Yu to be too exhausted.
He remembered Xiao Yu, and his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile thinking about last night’s events.
Seeing him smile, Guo Daming felt relieved, it seemed Company Commander Qin was indeed willing to take them in and did not despise them, quickly saying: "Well, rest assured, Company Commander Qin, I will explain everything to them."
"Mm." Qin San Lang responded after a while said: "You stay now, meet other Company Commanders and Chief Commanders before you leave."
Guo Daming naturally nodded in agreement, and before long, other busy Company Commanders and Chief Commanders arrived; with Qin San Lang’s presence, and Zhang Yan helping to speak, things went smoothly for Guo Daming.
But Madam Guo didn’t see Gu Jinli; it was Nanny Tao who met her.
Nanny Tao said apologetically: "My lady caught a cold on the way and is resting, unable to see Madam Guo; please don’t take offense."
Speaking of this, Nanny Tao was delighted... seeing the affectionate energy of the father-in-law towards the Young Master, she was hopeful for a little master this year.
Madam Guo was very petite, her face covered in frost injuries from wind and snow, upon hearing this, she quickly asked: "Mrs. Qin is sick? Is it serious? We came at a bad time."
Her words were a bit jumbled, but her demeanor and tone were sincere, making Nanny Tao nod internally, Madam Guo wasn’t the type to secretly harbor deceit or to be unreasonable.
