Chapter 142: Storm Approaches

"Husband, the Taxation Department under the Martial Emperor is the true violent institution of the court, and they even have their own specialized army. In this situation, the other party will definitely not be kind," Jian Ling expressed her concerns.

Apart from Dao Miaomiao, the other wives were also worried. After all, the imperial pressure has deeply rooted itself in the hearts of the people. Even the Four Supreme Powers would not dare to resist the court's dominance.

To ease the wives' worries, Lin Fan smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I naturally won't be afraid. The court may be powerful, but our Lin family is not one to be easily controlled."

Setting aside the question of strength, the other party has already stepped on their doorstep and insulted his wives. How could he possibly endure it? When the other party is looking for trouble, this matter is destined to not end well. Even if he initially tolerated it, the other party would continue to provoke.

Since that's the case, it's better to show their strength.

"That's right, sister, what are you afraid of? If the other party dares to come without asking for reasons, just chop them!" Dao Miaomiao was the first to agree, even with her big belly, she still wanted to fight.

Lin Fan had forged a Semi-Divine Weapon, a long knife, for her, and she would carry it with her whenever she went out, ready to draw the knife and fight at any time.

Facing such a fierce wife, even Lin Fan, a towering man, felt somewhat helpless. No wonder his fierce father-in-law was constantly controlled by his mother-in-law. Ordinary people really couldn't handle it. If they really made her unhappy, she would draw her knife and fight with you at any time. Do you think you can handle it?

"Who are you calling sister!" Jian Ling rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "And you, who is about to give birth, can you calm down?"

"What's wrong? Jealous?" Dao Miaomiao raised an eyebrow and patted her big belly.

Jian Ling gritted her teeth but couldn't refute this statement.

She was indeed jealous.

Unfortunately, her belly was not cooperative.

Perhaps she hadn't tried enough times, so she had never been successful.

Thinking of this, she no longer had the mood to worry about anything and subconsciously looked at her husband, Lin Fan.

Not only her, but the other three wives also looked at him expectantly.

Lin Fan scratched his head.

What's wrong?

Do you want me to swallow you?

If he dared to do that, his golden hoop would definitely cause a commotion in the deep sea. If he didn't turn the world upside down and the sea upside down today, it would not be easy to resolve this situation.

"Erhu, if the army of the Taxation Department comes and attacks without asking for reasons, kill them without mercy!" Lin Fan instructed Su Erhu and led the wives, who were acting strangely, back to the sea to cause trouble.

Su Erhu didn't think too much. At this moment, he only had the orders given by Lin Fan.

"You all heard the master's orders, right? From today onwards, the estate is on high alert. The mechanical bird guards are on high alert within a ten-mile radius, ready for combat at any time!" Su Erhu ordered with a serious face.

"Yes!"

The Ming guards with long spears responded in unison and quickly went to work.

After arranging the Ming guards, Su Erhu turned to the dark corner and said, "All the shadow guards, except those necessary to protect the master, go out and gather intelligence. If there are any troops moving towards the house, come back immediately and report!"

"Yes!"

A somewhat immature response came from the dark corner, followed by several figures flickering towards the distance.

After arranging all of this, Su Erhu returned to his room and took out the various armor-piercing arrows specially made for him by Lin Fan, and poisoned them.

Since the master wants to show his strength, there is no need to hide anything. If they're going to do it, they might as well do it thoroughly and enjoy it.

Shooting the enemy general's head in the midst of a sea of soldiers is definitely a very interesting thing.

Su Erhu had a cold smile on his lips as he soaked his broken armor arrows in a highly toxic substance.

These toxins,

were concocted by Lin Fan using Max Level Poison Technique. Even if a top expert were to come into contact with them, if they didn't handle it well, they would lose their life. As for the experts below that level, they would basically be killed on the spot!

There is no other possibility!

Previously, because the toxins were too strong, he rarely used this method. But now, in order to confront the violent organization of the court and show his prowess, there was naturally no need to hold back.

Su Erhu set a small goal for himself.

That is, to shoot down ten generals and make the army too afraid to show their heads!

As a top-notch archer, he held a Semi-Divine Weapon longbow crafted by a divine craftsman in his hand. It could enhance the internal force penetration of the armor-piercing arrows, allowing him to shoot down even top-level generals!

"I wonder how many generals will come. It would be best if there were more, so that I, Erhu, can gain great fame!"

Su Erhu muttered as he poisoned the arrows. Underneath his foolish appearance, there was a heart that wanted to become famous in the world.

Or rather,

When he intercepted Lin Fan's carriage halfway, he had such thoughts.

Time passed.

Soon, a day had passed.

When the young man from the tax office returned and exaggeratedly recounted the events, the chief official in charge of the tax office in Heiyun County, which included Tianfeng County, instantly flew into a rage.

Tax office.

Since the establishment of the Martial Emperor, several decades had passed.

During this time, no one had dared to violently resist while still alive.

Why was it that no one was alive?

That was because anyone who dared to resist was crushed to pieces by their army!

Although the tax office in Heiyun County only had the strength of one battalion, it was a reinforced battalion with a total force of five thousand, equipped with powerful weapons crafted by the Divine Machine Battalion.

For example, the Divine Machine Crossbow.

Even second-rate experts could be killed.

When the five thousand troops attacked together and fired in unison, except for the top four powers, no one could withstand it.

And this,

was just the garrison of a county.

Even if it was the top four powers, if they couldn't win, they could increase their troops from other places or even report to the Martial Emperor and request the dispatch of a truly elite army from the Imperial Guards.

The Martial Emperor was warlike.

In recent years, there had been frequent wars.

The elites in the Imperial Guards were not the old soldiers of the decadent dynasty.

That was why the Martial Emperor imposed a head tax, causing ordinary people to suffer in silence. The reason why the Martial Emperor's rule remained as stable as Mount Tai was because he truly had absolute oppressive power.

In addition to the Zhenwu Battalion, which specialized in suppressing martial arts experts, who would dare to resist the imperial decrees?

But now,

there was such a person.

Not only did he violently resist the head tax, he also crippled the tax collector.

This was no longer just resisting the imperial decrees, but trampling on the face of the court.

If they didn't punish him severely, wouldn't everyone dare to step on their heads and defecate in the future?

How could they tolerate this!

"You must speak up for me, sir! That villain not only disrespected our tax office, but also disrespected the court and even the wise and martial Martial Emperor. He must not be forgiven lightly!"

The young man wailed, looking pitiful with one leg missing.

The chief official's face turned cold as he said, "You can rest assured. Since that madman dares to disregard the court and disrespect our wise and martial emperor, and even harmed you like this, I will not spare him!"

After saying that,

he instructed his lackey to summon the military officer stationed in Heiyun County.

Not long after,

a stern-looking man arrived with a long knife hanging from his waist.

In less than half an hour,

the military officer left in large strides.

Then, the tax office's army, who were in training, quickly assembled.

The next day,

the army quickly broke camp and set off.
