Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Upon hearing that soldiers had appeared, Master Dou was shocked and hurried to the outer wall of the manor.

Looking into the distance, he indeed saw hundreds of armored cavalrymen emerging from the official road.

These cavalrymen had clear banners, their armor reflected the cold light of metal, and their horses were strong and sturdy.

Clearly, this was an elite cavalry force from an unknown origin.

Looking closer, it seemed that the target of these cavalrymen was Dou Family Manor, right beneath his feet.

For some reason, Master Dou felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

The people in the manor looked at the soldiers, pointing and talking amongst themselves.

However, there was not much fear on their faces.

Master Dou's elder brother was a high-ranking official in the capital.

With his elder brother's protection,

ordinary soldiers would not dare to act recklessly here.

As they watched, the rumbling of hooves grew closer and closer.

The bright armor on the cavalrymen and the cold gleam of the knives and spears in their hands were clearly visible to the people of Dou Family Manor.

In an instant, the hundreds of cavalrymen split into two teams, spreading out like crane wings, completely encircling Dou Family Manor from the left and right flanks.

Master Dou stood on the manor wall, watching the outside with a solemn expression.

A team of cavalrymen was slowly approaching the manor gate.

Leading them was a handsome young military general.

This person was Li Yuan.

Li Yuan reined in his horse and looked up at the top of the Dou Family Manor wall.

He saw that the white banners used for funerals on the not-so-high manor wall had not yet been removed.

Inside and outside the manor, many people were still wearing the mourning clothes that they had not had time to change.

Clearly, a funeral had just been held here.

It seemed that the gray-clothed man had not lied.

This Master Dou was very likely to use Bai Yuxuan to arrange a ghost marriage for his son.

Li Yuan saw that although the gate of Dou Family Manor was closed, their drawbridge had not been raised in their haste.

Li Yuan then spurred his horse straight towards the manor gate, and the spear in his hand was directly inserted through the gap in the door.

With a loud crack, the door bolt behind the manor gate was actually pried open by Li Yuan with brute force.

The tightly closed manor gate was also pushed open directly by Li Yuan with his spear.

Seeing the gate wide open, the hundreds of Longxiang cavalrymen who followed also poured into the manor gate.

The manor guards and tenants of the Dou family did not dare to stop the fierce and menacing Longxiang cavalrymen.

They were all frightened and hid everywhere.

Without much effort, Li Yuan's hundreds of cavalrymen completely took down Dou Family Manor.

The fierce and terrifying cavalrymen drove the Dou family members together, scaring them into constant exclamations.

At this moment, the crowd scattered to the left and right, revealing Master Dou standing in the middle of the crowd.

Although Master Dou was also a little uneasy, he was not too flustered.

Because in his opinion, these cavalrymen were still wearing the military uniforms of the Great Liang.

It seemed that they should be passing soldiers from a certain route.

According to common sense, they should want to ask for some food and wealth when they enter this manor.

Thinking of this, Master Dou felt slightly relieved.

He was the younger brother of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court.

As long as he revealed his name, these passing soldiers should not dare to do anything to him.

Thinking of this, he cupped his fist slightly towards Li Yuan.

Then he asked with an arrogant expression.

"This military officer, why have you brought so many soldiers into my manor?"

"What is your purpose?"

Li Yuan sneered.

"Master Dou, is it? I'm here to get someone!"

Master Dou was stunned.

He felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Get someone? You... who are you looking for?"

Li Yuan pointed at Master Dou with the spear in his hand and shouted.

"It's the woman you brought back from the Pure Moon Pavilion today, the one you want to arrange a ghost marriage for your son!"

Upon hearing this, Master Dou was instantly shocked.

Using a living person for a ghost marriage was a serious crime in Great Liang, punishable by death. How did this military head know?

Master Dou's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

Although Master Dou was also a respected local gentry, if the serious crime of using a living person for a ghost marriage was really investigated, he would have a hard time escaping.

Looking at the hundreds of elite cavalrymen outside, he suddenly thought.

So many soldiers came just for a woman.

Could it be that the woman had a special identity?!

Could it be that he had misjudged and abducted a noble lady he couldn't afford to offend?

Thinking of this, Master Dou was suddenly horrified.

He looked at Li Yuan, whose face was as cold as ice.

He squeezed out an ugly smile and pretended to be calm.

"This military officer, don't talk nonsense."

"What ghost marriage? Our Dou family has been doing good deeds in the village for generations, abiding by the law."

"There is no such thing! There is no such thing!"

Master Dou secretly gritted his teeth, determined not to let this person know that the woman had already been buried by him.

He must insist that he absolutely did not admit it.

When Li Yuan saw his expression, he secretly cried out in his heart.

Master Dou's performance was so obvious, he was afraid that Bai Yuxuan, who was so clever, had already been buried by him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan was anxious and immediately ordered his cavalrymen.

"Cavalrymen, dismount!"

"Take down everyone here!"

The cavalrymen dismounted one after another and rushed towards the Dou family members like wolves and tigers.

With knives and guns against their necks, they controlled all the crying Dou family members.

Li Yuan drew his long knife, grabbed a person at random, and asked.

"Speak! Where is your Dou family's cemetery?"

The man's eyes darted around, and he was about to deny it.

Li Yuan raised his knife and dropped it.

A head rolled to the ground.

Seeing the splashing blood and the headless corpse,

the Dou family members were all frightened and screamed.

Li Yuan grabbed another person.

Still the same question.

"Speak! Where is the cemetery?!"

This person was trembling with fear from Li Yuan.

Fearing that Li Yuan would kill him, he quickly pointed to the north side and said.

"The back mountain! The Dou family's ancestral graves are all in the back mountain!"

A quarter of an hour later, under Li Yuan's coercion, dozens of Dou family members worked hard to dig open the newly buried earth.

At this time, Marquis Longxiang also rushed over with the main force of the Longxiang Army.

She ran quickly to the tomb, looking at the coffin in front of her, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Quick! Pry it open for me!"

Then, under the force of dozens of long knives and crowbars, with a loud creak, the red wooden coffin lid was lifted up.

The female marquis looked inside, and instantly her eyes went black.

In the coffin, her younger sister had been dressed in a red wedding gown and was lying with a male corpse.

Bai Yuxuan looked pale and her lips were purple, obviously she had stopped breathing.

The female marquis's body softened, and Li Yuan, who was standing next to her, quickly supported her with his hand.

Li Yuan shouted loudly.

"Quick, call the doctors over!"

The crowd hurriedly carried Bai Yuxuan into a clean room.

Two doctors were immediately brought over.

These two doctors were temporarily grabbed by Marquis Longxiang from the Qingzhou Medical Hall.

At the urging of the female marquis, the two hurriedly bent down to carefully check Bai Yuxuan's condition.

But after only a few glances, the two doctors kept shaking their heads, and then knelt in front of Marquis Longxiang with a plop, shaking their heads and saying.

"This girl... has been holding her breath for a long time... it is already difficult to save her with medicine."

"Marquis, the two of us have no way to save her."

Hearing this, the female marquis's body swayed, her face was pale, she waved her hand and ordered.

"You go out."

The two doctors quickly bowed and retreated.

Li Yuan was afraid that something would happen to the female marquis, and did not leave the house. Then he saw two lines of clear tears gushing from Bai Jing's eyes.

Bai Jing's fist slammed on the table, and then roared outside.

"Pass on my order!"

"Search Dou Family Manor!"

"Arrest all those involved!"

"I want to kill the entire Dou family!"

"To avenge my sister!"

Several guards cupped their fists and left.

At this time, the female marquis's order was full of anger.

Li Yuan did not try to persuade her, the furious Marquis Longxiang had to vent this anger!

Looking at Bai Yuxuan's body, Marquis Longxiang ignored everything else, rushed over and lay on her younger sister's body and cried loudly.

Li Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said in a low voice to the side.

"Marquis, there is no need to be so sad yet."

The female marquis turned her head to look at Li Yuan with tears in her eyes, her expression sad and puzzled.

Li Yuan quickly continued.

"Since I was a child, I have followed extraordinary people to learn military strategy, and I have also learned esoteric medical skills."

"If the Marquis trusts me, let me try, I may be able to save Miss Bai."

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the female marquis's eyes.

She turned around and grabbed Li Yuan's hand anxiously, regardless of the difference between men and women, and asked.

"Li Yuan, do you... do you really have a way?!"
