The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 143: No Need to Hold Back

Lin Family Manor.

After a whole day of chaos, Lin Fan finally woke up refreshed from his peaceful slumber.

His wives had all been nourished by the rain and dew, each one charming and beautiful.

Lin Fan quietly admired them for a while before heading to the blacksmith's workshop.

The mechanical beasts had been idle for quite some time, and he planned to take them out for a walk this time.

No matter how strong an individual's strength was, it was still just personal strength. At most, it could only behead a few people and couldn't reach the level of intimidating a large army.

But a colossal metal construct was more than just beheading. It was truly capable of withstanding an army.

Imagine in the era of cold weapons, a tens of meters long metal mechanical snake rampaging through the military formation. What kind of situation would that be?

Not to mention anything else, just a few rolls would crush countless people.

Just as Lin Fan arrived at the blacksmith's workshop, ready to oil up the mechanical beasts, Su Erhu rushed over excitedly.

"Brother Fan, the army from the Taxation Department has arrived!"

Su Erhu exclaimed with excitement.

Lin Fan found it amusing and said, "What's the matter? The army is about to come knocking on our door, and you seem quite happy. Could it be that you have some weird hobbies?"

"How could that be!" Su Erhu corrected him, but soon couldn't contain his excitement and scratched his head. "I just wanted to see if I could shoot down a few generals."

"You silly boy, I didn't expect you to have such big ambitions. You want to shoot down generals," Lin Fan shook his head and laughed.

"Hehe," Su Erhu continued scratching his head foolishly. "My grandfather told me that a good man should have great ambitions. So I once thought about going to the battlefield and becoming a vanguard general, shooting down enemy generals. Although the current situation is a bit different, it's not that different after all. So... hehe!"

"Well, your ambition is good," Lin Fan expressed his approval, then continued, "Since the army from the Taxation Department has set off, it's obvious that they don't intend to ask for any reasons. They will directly suppress us with force. When you go down later, instruct the guards to equip themselves with all kinds of deadly weapons. If they provoke us, there's no need to hold back!"

"Yes!" Su Erhu got what he wanted to hear and quickly nodded excitedly before going to make arrangements.

The Lin Family guards were not just individuals with personal strength; they were also equipped with various terrifying hidden weapons.

If a team of ten people worked together, it would be no problem to wipe out a major force in the martial world.

Even a top-notch expert wouldn't be able to withstand the siege of a team of ten people.

After sending Su Erhu away, Lin Fan continued his work. If necessary, the mechanical beasts would make a powerful appearance.

At that time, he would show the world what it meant to be a "grown-up" and how the times had changed.

The approaching army from the Taxation Department had no idea about the great terror they were about to face.

Just like their commanding officer who received the report, their first choice when facing any provocation was to crush it with overwhelming force, leaving no survivors.

As for right or wrong, it didn't matter to them. Any form of resistance was considered seeking death.

This had been the case for many years.

Anyone who dared to resist would be killed!

As for whether it was a wrongful case or not, they would investigate after killing. There were people specifically assigned to handle such matters.

This was a matter of dignity!

If they didn't have such iron-blooded methods, how could they suppress the various powerful experts in the world?

So when they set out, regardless of the right or wrong of the situation, Lin Fan, who dared to violently resist the imperial tax collection, was destined to become a dead soul under their blades!

"General, should we proceed as usual and directly push through?" a vice general in the Taxation Department's army asked the leading general.

This general was the martial officer who had been invited earlier. Not only was he extremely strong and intimidating in appearance, but his strength had also reached the level of a top-notch expert. He used to be a bandit, but later he was recruited.

Since becoming the commander of the Black Cloud County garrison, he had been causing bloodshed every time he took action over the years.

Under his leadership, the soldiers under him were also ruthless and merciless.

After the vice general approached to ask for instructions, the bandit general coldly said, "Anyone who dares to resist the court, to resist the Martial Emperor, will be killed without mercy. Even the chickens we raise will have their heads chopped off!"

"Understood!" The vice general had also been recruited together with him. Upon hearing this, a cruel look appeared on his face.

After a while, he looked at the strong soldiers around him and whispered, "General, I heard that this family has quite a few women. Can we have some fun with them first?"

The bandit general glanced coldly at him but did not refute his words.

No refutation meant consent.

Since they had been recruited by the court, they couldn't act the same as before. But the soldiers under them had been suppressed for too long. It wouldn't hurt to indulge them occasionally. Even if the news got out, they could just whip a few times to settle the matter.

Received the default, the deputy general quickly spread the news to some trusted subordinates.

Upon learning this, the army's marching speed noticeably increased.

The main general didn't say anything about it, just silently rode ahead.

Soon,

the army arrived at Tianfeng County.

The county magistrate, upon learning of the other party's arrival, hurriedly led his subordinates out of the city to greet them.

But they were ignored, only some supplies were demanded, and they rushed towards Lin Fan's manor with a rumbling sound.

There were five hundred cavalry in the army, serving as the vanguard at the moment.

Leading them was the deputy general who had just sought instructions. At this moment, the cruelty on his face was undisguised. Many of the cavalry below were his trusted subordinates from before. They were once famous in the martial world for their prowess. Although they were now officially enlisted, when it came to actual action, there was an air of ruthlessness.

People on the road who saw them were all scared out of their wits, jumping into the ditches at the side of the road to hide.

"Hmph! A bunch of rats!"

The deputy general saw this scene and immediately spat in disdain.

The accompanying cavalry also sneered. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the manor.

Before the other party arrived, the guards in the manor, under the command of Su Erhu, the leader, had made preparations to deal with them. At this moment, when the other party arrived on horseback, there was no ripple of panic.

Dozens of Ming guards stood in front of the manor gate, holding long spears. They showed no signs of panic despite the fact that the other party was on horseback and outnumbered them tenfold.

Their indifferent and calm gaze was like they were looking at a group of dead people.

The deputy general saw this scene and narrowed his eyes. He coldly said, "Oh, it seems like you still want to resist? Truly a group of ignorant ants!"

"We are ignorant ants?"

Su Erhu stood in the center of the formation, wearing the black-bordered robe exclusive to the leader of the guards. He looked at the other party indifferently, completely different from his usual foolish appearance in front of Lin Fan.

"Hehe, isn't that the case?"

The deputy general sneered, relying on the support of the court, they had long looked down on everything.

Not to mention a rural wealthy man, even a powerful force renowned throughout the world, he wouldn't even bother to look at them.

And he had the capital to do so.

Not to mention the strongest support, just his own strength had reached the peak of the first-class. With the fearless spirit of the heroic horse, he could even fight against ordinary top-class experts.

And the elite cavalry under him, most of them were top-notch experts. Among them, all the captains and above were second-class experts, all of them were heroes in the martial world.

They were recruited by the court because of their overall strength.

Now, how could there be any unexpected situations when dealing with a rural wealthy man?

As for the rumors that had happened here in the past, could those scoundrels compare to their regular army?

His disdain and contempt at this moment were not due to his arrogance, but his capital!

Su Erhu didn't argue against this matter.

Facing the other party's condescending disdain, he just smiled and said a sentence.

"You're right, we really don't know any better. Even if our family leader were to give the order, we would dare to charge into the Imperial Palace. But today, it is you who will surely die first," Su Erhu said with a faint smile.

"What a madman!" the deputy general exclaimed, his eyes widening. He hadn't expected to encounter someone even more reckless than himself. This made him feel offended.

Not to mention the fact that he had joined the violent army by accepting amnesty and entering the court, even when he was still a famous horse thief, who would dare to speak to him like this? Apart from the big brother who held the highest position, the current commander, who did he think he was?

In this situation now, it was simply a challenge to him! But Su Erhu didn't respond, only a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth as he drew a penetrating arrow from his quiver, pulled back the bowstring, and shot it towards the opponent.

Compared to his previous aggressive stance, his shooting of the bow and arrow at this moment seemed casual and relaxed.

At first glance, it seemed to lack any killing power.

"Still want to shoot me off my horse?" The deputy general obviously had the same perception. Seeing Su Erhu's actions at this moment, he burst into laughter.

After all, he was a top-notch master who could fight against ordinary super masters!

Just a mere bow and arrow.

Do you still want to shoot yourself off the horse?

Is this an attempt to flatter?

He saw him casually draw his sword, intending to split the arrow, and took the opportunity to mock. Once he suppressed the morale of the opposing side, he would lead the troops to charge directly. This was his usual tactic when riding a horse.

Otherwise,

He wouldn't waste words.

But the arrow that he thought he could easily split was, in the moment of contact, directly sent flying by the long knife in his hand. He only had time to narrow his pupils when the unstoppable arrow pierced straight into his heart, deeply embedding itself, with the arrowhead emerging from the other side.

He was wearing a chest protector, not to mention an arrow, even the specially made chest protector of the Divine Machine Corps couldn't be shot through, let alone the fact that he had blocked it with a knife.

But now it had been shot through.

Passing through his heart, the inertia carried him off the horse, throwing him backwards and colliding with several people before falling to the ground.

With a single arrow,

He was shot off the horse!

"Is this all you've got, yet you still dare to boast?"

The deputy general's whole body spun, only faintly hearing a sentence before he couldn't hear anything else, and he died on the spot.

The author's updates far exceed those of most authors, and yet they still say it's short. This is too difficult...

But in order to avoid criticism, I will try my best to release more chapters, striving for over 10,000 updates per day.
