Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 21: On the day of great joy, bandits attack
a few days later.

The White Camel Villa was decorated with colorful lights, firecrackers were blasting, drums and music were resounding, and the house was packed with guests. It was an auspicious day for a wedding.

All the people in the villa, including the farmhands, servants, new and old wolf riders, all took part in the work, welcoming guests, serving tea and water, arranging the table, maintaining order, and were extremely busy.

As the second son of the villa, Ouyang Feng, who should have participated in the action, sat alone on the roof of the backyard with his eyes half closed, as if meditating.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked down, and saw a man dressed as a servant of the villa, carrying two slaughtered goats, walking into the backyard and heading towards the kitchen.

This is a very common situation in Japan today.

The place for slaughtering cattle and sheep is not inside the village. Dishes such as big pot stew and roasted whole lamb are all cooked on the slaughter site. However, for some delicate meat dishes, the beef and mutton still need to be sent to the back kitchen for cooking.

Before that, many servants had brought some fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and wine, but Ouyang Feng ignored them.

But this time, Ouyang Feng stood up, stretched his limbs, jumped off the roof, and blocked the man carrying the load.

The man was startled. Seeing Ouyang Feng, he quickly put down his burden and bowed, "Greetings, Second Young Master!"

Ouyang Feng looked at the man and said calmly: "Do you recognize me?"

The man smiled and said:

"The Second Young Master is a natural born hero. Anyone with eyes in and around Baituo Mountain would recognize him. Although I only work as an outcall escort in Baituo Town at the foot of the mountain, I have seen the Second Young Master from afar once. I was shocked by his beauty and was deeply impressed by him at that time."

He added, "Of course, the Second Young Master probably doesn't remember me."

"I was working in Baituo Town at the foot of the mountain. I only saw me once from a distance in the crowd. So you recognized me, but I didn't recognize you. It's a good excuse."

Ouyang Feng put his hands behind his back, stared at the man, and said calmly:

"The Chicken Crow Five Drums Soul-Returning Incense is made of four ingredients. You only have two of them in your bag. The other two are not with you. So, you have an accomplice?"

The man's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile:

"Second Young Master, you are joking..."

"Are you kidding?" Ouyang Feng shook his head. "I never joke. You want to use the smell of mutton to cover up the smell of the medicine. This is a good idea. If it were someone else, they could easily hide it, but unfortunately you can't hide it from me. Tell me, who are you? Who are your accomplices? How many people are there in total? Tell me, and you can suffer less."

The man's eyes twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"It is said that the second son of White Camel Villa, Ouyang Feng, has amazing martial arts skills. Compared with the old villain Ouyang, he is far better than his master. I didn't expect that in addition to martial arts, his poison identification skills are also so amazing!"

Ouyang Feng said calmly:

"This is not what I want to hear. You have one more chance. If you don't confess, you will suffer."

The man's expression changed for a while, and he said:

"Okay, I'll admit it..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand suddenly, and a crossbow arrow flew out from his sleeve, shooting at Ouyang Feng's face. Then, without even looking at the result, he turned and ran.

The crossbow arrow was shot towards him, but Ouyang Feng did not even blink. He suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the crossbow arrow, gently broke off the arrowhead, held it between his fingers, and flicked it.

call out!
With a shrieking sound, the arrow pierced into the man's right Achilles tendon with a "plop". The man immediately screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ouyang Feng remained calm as he walked over and stepped on the man's intact left ankle. With a snap, he crushed his ankle into pieces.

Ah!
The man screamed again, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he almost fainted from the pain.

Ouyang Feng took two more steps, stepped on the man's left hand, and said coldly:
"Even if your hands and feet are crushed, you still have arms, legs, shoulders... In short, you still have a lot of bones in your body. We can take our time and see how long you can hold out."

"you!"

The man's eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Ouyang Feng fiercely, but deep in those seemingly fierce eyes, there was a deep fear.

The second young master of the White Camel Villa is not even seventeen years old, but his heart seems to be even colder and harder than his father's, and his methods are even more cruel!

"three two……"

Ouyang Feng counted slowly and increased the force of his feet, making the man feel that his hand bones were about to break, as if his entire palm would be crushed to pieces in the next moment.

"I said, give me a quick death!"

The man said sadly:

"I am from the Seven Gangs Alliance. This time I am going to take advantage of the wedding at White Camel Villa to sneak into the villa and poison the old thief Ouyang and the Wolf Riders, and then rob the White Camel Villa..."

There is a big wedding going on at White Camel Villa today, and guests are arriving in droves. Many of the guests have brought servants with them to deliver gifts. The crowd is mixed, with many unfamiliar faces, and the farm guards and wolf riders are all very busy. It is inevitable that there will be omissions in the usually strict guards, giving people with ulterior motives a chance to sneak in.

Ouyang Feng had taken this into consideration, so he personally guarded the kitchen. Other key points that might be poisoned, such as the well and the slaughterhouse, were also guarded by reliable old wolf riders.

He was just taking precautionary measures, but he didn't expect to actually run into a thief.

"Tell me, what is the Seven Gangs Alliance?"

Ouyang Feng asked calmly.

Now that the man had opened his mouth, in order to avoid suffering, he immediately told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

This alliance of seven gangs is composed of seven horse gangs that have emerged in recent years, with some consisting of dozens of people and some as few as a dozen.

The seven caravans originally did their own business, but were recently brought together by a prominent figure and formed an alliance.

After the alliance was established, the first big business was to destroy Baituo Villa while a wedding was being held there.

In this way, they could obtain the wealth accumulated by White Camel Villa over the years, recruit soldiers and expand the alliance.

Secondly, they can occupy Baituo Mountain and take over this Feng Shui treasure land as the headquarters of the Seven Gangs Alliance.

As for the reputation of the old thief Ouyang and the wolf riders of White Camel Villa, they really can't scare these newly emerged young horse thieves whose age is generally no more than 30 years old.

In their view, the old thief Ouyang has not personally taken action for more than ten or twenty years. The seventy wolf riders who followed him across the desert in the past have mostly died of old age or illness. The glory of the wolf riders has long been a thing of the past. Who would care about the new horse thieves?
In the past, the seven caravans fought on their own and were perhaps a little wary of the White Camel Villa. When they encountered a caravan flying the White Camel Villa flag, they did not dare to rob it or charge too much for the toll.

But now that the seven gangs have united and gathered nearly three hundred bandits, and with the support of big shots, they will certainly no longer be afraid of the White Camel Villa.

Of course, if it is an open robbery, White Camel Villa has a large number of people, is well-equipped, and has the advantage of geographical location, so it will be a tough nut to crack.

So someone came up with the plan of sneaking in and poisoning them. If the plan succeeded, they could easily capture the White Camel Villa without losing a single person.

After listening to the man's confession, Ouyang Feng said calmly:

"Who are the masters of the Seven Gangs Alliance? What skills are they good at?"

The man repeated his story about the famous ruthless men in the Seven Gangs Alliance, saying that they were skilled in archery and horse riding, quick with swords and ruthless. It sounded as if the Seven Gangs Alliance did not have any capable masters with special martial arts.

But Ouyang Feng knew that this man must be holding back and was hoping that he would get beaten to a bloody pulp.

But he was too lazy to argue with it.

In this era, Lingjiu Palace disappeared without a trace, only remnants of the Xingxiu Sect remained, the Ming Cult was nowhere to be found, the Kunlun Sect had not yet been established, the Fire Master was still making fire in Shaolin, and the master of the two Xuanming Elders, Taoist Baisun, had not even been born yet.

In the entire Western Region martial arts world, apart from Ouyang Feng, there are really no other masters worth mentioning.

It is for this reason that in another world line, the future White Camel Villa can dominate the Western Regions under the leadership of "The Poison of the West" Ouyang Feng.

Since there was no real master, Ouyang Feng did not pursue the man's concealment and only asked him:
"Who is the so-called big shot who brought together the seven gangs?"

The man replied:
"I am just a nobody, I don't know his exact identity, I only heard rumors from my brothers that he might be a big shot from the Liao Dynasty!"

A big shot from the Liao Dynasty?

This is no longer the era of Yelu Dashi.

The Western Liao Dynasty, which once conquered Central Asia and had many vassal states in Central Asia and the Western Regions, has been degenerating like a cliff since the arrogant, licentious, and ambitious Emperor Tianxi, Yelü Zhilugu, came to power through a coup. The national strength has been declining, the bureaucracy is corrupt, and the country is plagued by internal and external troubles. Many vassal states have broken away from their affiliation, either becoming independent or changing their allegiance.

With the current national strength of Western Liao, how could a mere person from Western Liao be worthy of being called a big shot in front of Ouyang Feng?

After finding out the current campsite of the Seven Gangs Alliance, Ouyang Feng broke the man's neck with one foot, giving him a quick death.

"Second Young Master, how should this matter be handled?"

"A young wolf rider asked, his eyes full of eagerness to try - the screams of the horse thief just now attracted several young wolf riders on patrol, who had been listening in after they complained to Ouyang Feng for not patrolling carefully and not being well prepared.

Knowing the whereabouts of the Seven Gangs Alliance, the new Wolf Riders immediately wanted to rush over and wipe out the unknown Seven Gangs Alliance, firstly to atone for their sins, and secondly to test their strength.

"First, find the other bandits who sneaked in, torture them to get information, and compare them." Looking at these young wolf riders, Ouyang Feng said calmly: "Once the authenticity of the information is confirmed, we will kill them to our heart's content."

The eyes of several young wolf riders suddenly lit up and they responded in unison.

Less than half an hour later.

Nineteen riders galloped out of Baituo Villa and headed southeast.
