The next day, under the bright sunshine, Teng Family Villages martial arts training ground was bustling with activity.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Three carts pulled by horses, one after another, entered the Tunjia Village, and these carts were all loaded with various iron blocks and materials.
The materials needed to build 200 heavy armors in Hengs village have finally arrived.
"Qingshan, haha, your Tunjiazhuang business is not small at all! These iron blocks and materials weigh over 10,000 catties. I had to bring in three large trucks to transport the goods." The big fat man wearing a large yellow robe walked over with a big belly, laughing loudly as he greeted them.
"Li Shu, were just doing small business, cant compare with your company." Teng Qing Shan also said with a smile.
Li Er held a jade-carved pipe, took two puffs, and smiled: "Hm, Qing Shan, Im going to find your grandparents, youre busy." Li Er also knew about Teng Qingshans position in the Teng family village, and had heard that Teng Qingshan was very powerful, so he came over specifically to greet him.
"Green Mountain, the materials have arrived, our clan can start forging heavy armor now." Beside him, Teng Qinghu was somewhat excited.
"Hmm, with two hundred suits of heavy armor, the men from Teng Family Village who have cultivated internal energy can each take on dozens of bandits. If used well, their effect will be even greater!" Teng Qing Shan knew that his clansmen had cultivated internal energy, but their bodies were not impervious to swords and spears. If they only wore cloth robes and fought against the mounted bandits...
Even if one cultivates internal energy, at most they can only kill a few people before being killed by other bandits.
Once you have a strong defense, you wont be afraid of ordinary peoples swords and knives, then you can truly exert the attacking power of an internal strength master.
Soon, the people from the merchants house left Tunjiazhuang with gold and silver.
At noon, some women who were busy with farm work in the fields returned. As soon as one of the women entered the village, she shouted out, and many other people who loved excitement came forward to listen to what interesting things had happened. Because the surrounding fields and other villages are connected, the women are generally the most informed about news.
"The young master of the White Horse Gang and all those in the White Horse Camp were killed." The women started chattering one after another.
"What?" Some of the Han men from the tribe who were originally disdainful of listening to these words and were practicing tiger boxing or archery also came running over.
"Its true, all of Shaodangjia and Baimaying were killed, not a single one left. It was the Iron Mountain Gangs expert in hidden weapons who did it."
"How did you know? Is this news definitely true?"
"Yesterday, the White Horse Gang came to our place, wasnt it to recruit people into the White Horse Camp? Just yesterday! At that time, someone from Dali Village was already recruited. These words were spoken by a man from Dali Village! The Iron Mountain Gangs expert in hidden weapons has a grudge to settle and doesnt kill innocent people indiscriminately. They didnt even kill those twelve people."
At this moment, more people from the clan rushed over.
"Qing Shan, it seems that the few remaining members of the White Horse Camp have all been killed. Lets go and take a look." Teng Qinghuo also couldnt help but be shocked, and ran over.
Hong Qingshan smiled as he watched this scene.
Mountain man, simple and honest!
Those twelve Han men must have had a bellyful of resentment towards the White Horse Gang, but instead they felt a thread of gratitude towards the Iron Mountain Gangs hidden weapons expert. They were lucky to have escaped with their lives and returned to their respective villages, where they would surely talk about this incident. This explosive news spread at an incredibly surprising speed.
"Its great to be dead!"
"That hidden weapons expert is really formidable! The hidden weapon cant even be seen, and the head of that White Horse Bandit has already been shot through."
One by one, people from the tribe sighed over there.
Teng Qing Shan felt relieved in his heart and smiled as he turned around: "Lets go home for lunch!"
*******
Bai Ma Ying and Na Shao were killed by the Iron Mountain Gangs expert in hidden weapons. This was already a settled matter in Yicheng, with no one doubting it.
Even the White Horse Gang has offered a reward to outsiders, saying that whoever can capture this dark weapon expert will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of white silver! The White Horse Gangs offer is also a confirmation... That Iron Mountain Gang dark weapon expert is indeed the murderer.
……
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Bitterly cold winter, heavy snow falling thick and fast.
In the main hall of Teng Qinghus home, Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu sat facing each other, drinking wine.
"Wow, wow, wow... Qing Shan, I never thought of that! That Wang Tieshan, such a formidable master, actually fell into the hands of Liu San Ye from the White Horse Gang!" Teng Qinghu exclaimed, "In the past, this Liu San Ye came to my Teng Family Village to collect taxes many times, but I didnt realize he was such an incredible person!"
"A dog that bites doesnt bark! A truly ruthless person cant be seen from the outside." Teng Qing Shan said, taking a sip of wine.
The current master of the White Horse Gang is the former third master, surnamed Liu!
As for his real name, only a few people know. Because he was the third master in the past, outsiders all called him "Liu San Ye". This Liu San Ye, for more than half a year, not only has the status of the White Horse Gang not decreased, but it has become even more stable. The White Horse Gang is once again known as the eight thousand brothers.
Some people say that the White Horse Society actually has more than 10,000 members. Of course, the White Horse Society claims to have 8,000 brothers.
"This Liu San Ye is the most adept at using sinister plots! A few months ago, didnt that Bald Head Gang appear very arrogant? But then, the leader of the Bald Head Gang died under a womans knife. Teng Qinghu continued to speak, "And what about the Liu Shui Gang? Many people in Yi City thought they would join forces with the Bald Head Gang and wipe out the White Horse Gang? Who would have thought that the Liu Shui Gang would ultimately betray them and surrender to the White Horse Gang? Even Wang Tieshan was killed by a hail of arrows because of this!"
Teng Qing Shan just smiled after hearing it.
"Ive always thought that Wang Tieshan would severely avenge the White Horse Gang, but instead he ended up losing his own life." Tian Qinghu shook his head in endless regret.
Teng Qing-shan smiled and said, "Brother, actually that Liu San-ye only brought a small number of men to our Teng Family Village, exempted us from paying taxes in the future, and even called me brother. I knew then... that this Yi City would ultimately belong to him!" Teng Qing-shan also had some admiration for Liu San-ye.
Because Liu San Ye is very good at understanding peoples weaknesses.
For more than half a year, the thriving Bald Head Gang and Liu Shui Gang were all breached from within. Not one was annihilated by expending large numbers of troops.
"Hmph, its good that Liu San Ye knows his place. Otherwise, if he brings people to our Teng Family Village, no matter how many he brings, well kill just as many!" Teng Qing Hu sneered with a self-assured smile.
"You mention this, I recall that guy who claims to be the number one master of Yicheng." Teng Qing Shan also smiled.
In fact, this turbulent half year, Yichengs bandit forces went through three stages.
In the first stage, heroes rose together. After Hong Siyes death, Li Yanshan, who was known as the number one master of Yicheng, established the Yanshan Gang which quickly rose to become the only gang that could rival the Baima Gang at that time. Many people had high hopes for the Yanshan Gang.
In the second stage, the Yangshan gang was destroyed, and the Light-headed gang and the Liu Shui gang rose together, both of which were extremely prosperous. The strong thieves in Yicheng can be said to be three-legged tripod.
In the third stage, Baima Gang subdued Guangtou Gang and Liu Shui Gang, once again dominating the scene, and no one dared to challenge Baima Gangs status.
……
In these three stages, the initial Yan Shan Gang was originally the most promising. That Li Yan Shan was indeed a master.
He collected annual fees, but unexpectedly, Tengjiazhuang didnt pay a single copper coin!
This big boss is on fire!
Immediately led nearly three thousand horses and men to Teng Family Village, wanting to destroy the externally renowned brave and fierce Teng Family Village, in order to intimidate other villages. The head of the household was even more self-assured that he was the number one master of Yicheng, and even Wang Tiashan had humbly acknowledged his superiority! At that time, when they arrived at Teng Family Village, seeing many members of the Teng family wearing heavy armor, he was not surprised but instead delighted, and laughed loudly: "Haha, Li Yangshan has sent me heavy armor!"
He immediately swung his wolf-toothed club and smashed open the gate of Teng Family Village.
At the same time, there were also a hundred heavily armored cavalrymen behind him, as well as nearly three thousand ordinary cavalrymen.
Who would have thought...
The real battle has begun, and a terrible scene is born!
Li Yanshans heavy-armored cavalry were just a selection of the physically strong, but the ones from Teng Family Village who charged to the front wearing heavy armor were all masters with internal energy! Each long spear infused with internal energy stabbed forward, directly piercing through the bodies of the ordinary heavy-armored cavalry.
Fifty tribesmen wearing high-grade heavy armor, like meat grinders, were not afraid of ordinary swords and easily slaughtered a large number of horse bandits. Behind them were other tribesmen wearing ordinary heavy armor to assist. With the gate being so narrow, only a limited number of horse bandits could charge in, and there were also many sharp spikes on the ground, making it impossible for war horses to gallop, forcing them to dismount and fight.
One-sided!
That self-proclaimed number one master of Yicheng, Da Yanshan, was anxious and actually wanted to single-handedly kill the fifty internal power experts of Tengjia Village. Just as he was about to make his move, Teng Qingshan made his move!
Heng Qingshan told Li Yanshan with facts - he, Li Yanshan, was not the number one master in Yicheng.
Li Yanshan is dead!
The bandits were depressed, but the madness in their bones made them want to avenge themselves. However, they were slaughtered by the Teng family villages heavy armor clan under the leadership of the strong and powerful villagers, killing hundreds more. The remaining bandits fled in terror. In this battle, the Teng family village killed nearly a thousand bandits! They also captured over a hundred suits of heavy armor, increasing their own arsenal even further!
After this battle, Teng Family Village became even more famous and no bandits dared to come collect protection money again.
That white horse helper Liu San Ye three days later, personally ran to Tengjiazhuang, permanently exempting the annual rent of Tengjiazhuang, and also called Teng Qing Shan as brothers.
……
"This Liu San Ye is very aware of his place, he knows who can be trifled with and who cannot." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile. That Liu San Ye had the intention to make connections, Teng Qing Shan had secretly lent a hand twice in Liu San Yes unification of the Yi Cheng bandits forces. Just these two times, the strength he displayed made Liu San Ye fearful.
Liu San Ye, knows who cant afford to offend!
"Hmm, however, Qing Shan, Yi Chengs bandit forces have settled down, we should also leave the village." Teng Qinghu suddenly felt a little sentimental.
"Yes, its time to go." Teng Qing Shan sighed.
*******
Three days later, in the morning, more than 2,000 people gathered at the Teng Family Village martial arts arena. Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu led hundreds of strong men from their clan to practice the Tiger Fist again!
Hundreds of people unite to practice Hu Tiger Boxing, with a very impressive momentum.
Mother Yuan Lan and younger sister Xiao Yu, looking at this scene with tears in their eyes, because today... Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu, are about to leave Teng Family Village, to join the Guiyuan Sect!
Its been a long time...
Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu each carried a bundle, with their weapons dismantled and placed inside the bundles. Over two thousand people from various tribes saw them off.
"Brother!" Qing Yu hugged Teng Qing Shan, reluctant to let her brother leave. Beside them, their mother Yuan Lan couldnt help but shed tears, while beside her, Teng Yong Fan patted his sons shoulder: "A mans ambition lies in the four directions! Qing Shan is going out to make a name for himself and achieve great things, dont cry anymore."
Although Hong Yongfan said so, his eyes were already red.
"Little Rain, brother will come back to see you and mom and dad later." Teng Qing Shan affectionately patted Xiao Yus head.
"Brother, you must come back and see me." Qing Yu said with tears streaming down her face.
Teng Qing Shan Zheng focus head.
"Dad, mom, take care." Teng Qing Shan squeezed out a faint smile.
"We know, you have to take care of your body outside." Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan were reluctant.
Teng Qing Shan bid farewell to his loved ones, and Teng Qing Hu also bid farewell to his loved ones. "Dont see me off!" Teng Qing Hus eyes turned red as he waved goodbye repeatedly.
Among the blessings of their clansmen, Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu, these two finally shouldered their bundles and left Teng Family Village, embarking on their journey!
