Chapter 2, The Bride Snatching (Part 2)

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hoover led a dozen or so servants to barricade the back door using various tools

Hu Xiaotian then realized that after he had snatched someone away, he had been running all the way without even having the time to change his clothes. This unintentional action had a strong implication of indecency. He coughed and said, "That question is quite foolish. I brought you here, what do you think I want to do?" Hu Xiaotian felt that he was not that despicable. He clearly wanted to say something vicious and contemptible, but in the end, he still could not bring himself to say it. He coughed again and said, "That question is quite foolish. I brought you here, what do you think I want to do?" Hu Xiaotian felt that he was not that despicable. He clearly wanted to say something vicious and contemptible, but in the end, he still could not bring himself to say it.

Liang Dazhuang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately tried to escape, but after taking two steps, he remembered his responsibilities. If he ran away now, it was likely that once this matter passed, the Hu family would no longer have a place for him. Weighing the pros and cons, he quickly drew his waist knife and mustered his courage, saying: "Young... Young... Young Master... you should escape first... I... I will cover for you..."

Among the four children of the Tang family, when it comes to temperament and courage, the most notable is Tang Qingxuan. She opened her eyes and saw herself bound like a zongzi, lying drenched on a strange bed, which frightened her so much that she let out a sharp scream. However, as soon as the sound escaped her lips, Hu Xiaotian covered her mouth. He waved the gleaming dagger in front of her and said, "If you dare to scream, I will slash your face!" It was intimidation, absolutely intimidation. Even if he were to actually slash her, he might not have the heart to do so.

Tang Wenzheng secretly cursed in his heart, what is there to investigate? Everything is laid out before us. How can I not be worried? My daughter has been abducted by your scoundrel son, and we still do not know her condition. Thinking of this, a lump suddenly blocked his throat, filled with grief and indignation, he said: "Lord Hu, we should hurry back to see her!" However, due to Hu's high official status, even if he was filled with anger, he had to force himself to endure it.

Tang Tiecheng was so enraged that his eyes blazed with fire. At that moment, a large tree was felled, and more than ten people lifted the tree, shouting in unison as they charged towards the back gate of the Ministry of Personnel.

Tang Tiecheng was filled with rage, and he shouted: "What about the Ministry of Rites? If the Heavenly King dares to take my sister, I will chop him down just the same..." The three sons of the Tang family had tempers that were increasingly fierce, and when they got angry, they would disregard even their closest kin. Tang Tiehan quickly covered his mouth, as such words, if they were to spread, would lead to serious consequences.

Tang Tiecheng broke free from his large hand and shouted, "Listen inside, if you anger me, I will set your Minister's residence on fire!"

Liang Dazhuang shook his head again

"Damn! Truly uncultured. The person is in our hands, what are you afraid of?" Hu Xiaotian could no longer tolerate this person's cowardly demeanor and couldn't help but curse.

Hu Xiaotian pulled the dagger off the table, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him. He then saw Liang Dazhuang hunched over, his arms resting on his thick thighs, panting heavily: "They... they have come in... they... have come in..."

A single phrase awakened the dreamer. Upon hearing this, Liang Dazhuang immediately straightened his chest and declared, "No... I'm not... afraid... not afraid! I fear nothing!" This fellow's roar resonated, causing Hu Xiaotian's eardrums to buzz. He said, "A servant is just a servant! Damn it, I've spent so much effort teaching you.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Is the Deputy Minister of the Horse Department a significant position? It's just someone who manages horses."

Hu Xiaotian looked at this fellow with some disdain, his entire body trembling from his eyelashes to his fingertips, his courage nearly shattered by fear, yet he still spoke of protecting himself. Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you understand what it means to be cautious of the tools when dealing with a rat?"

Tang Tiecheng glared at his elder brother with indignation. After hearing about this matter, he was so furious that he began to curse loudly, even including his elder brother in his tirade. It was simply ridiculous that Tang Tieman, with more than twenty people, stood by and watched as Hu Buwei's foolish son abducted his sister. This was nothing short of stupidity, extreme stupidity. Tang Tiecheng waved his hand and shouted, "Chop down trees and break open the door!" His subordinates immediately turned to chop down trees, while another group went to find a ladder

With a loud bang, the back door was shaken, sending dust flying. Two servants fell to the ground, unable to withstand the force of the tremor. Tang Tiehan's anger was also stirred by his brother; he took off his shirt, revealing a body of bulging muscles, and rushed forward to lift the tree trunk, shouting, "Damn it, charge!"

Tang Tiehan approached his second brother and whispered, "Second brother, is this the Minister's residence?"

Why not arrange all of this? He turned to Tang Wenzheng and whispered, "Brother Wenzheng, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, so you need not worry." He mentioned getting to the bottom of the matter, but did not say that he would provide you with an explanation

Gudu! Liang Dazhuang swallowed hard, and the image of that young girl with her delicate skin and tender flesh appeared before him. Before he could think further, he was sharply slapped on the head by Hu Xiaotian: "Damn, how dare you think about my woman?" Please recommend and save!

Tang Qingxuan noticed him staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. After all, she was still a girl, and especially now that she was tied up like a zongzi, she had no strength to fight back.

Liang Dazhuang shook his head

You ... ...

Hu Xiaotian chuckled and sat down on the armchair opposite the bed and the books. He propped one leg up on the armchair, still not having had time to put on his clothes. Just as he lifted his leg, he noticed that Tang Qingxuan suddenly closed her eyes, her pretty face turning bright red, appearing exceptionally shy and charming.

Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "Go, bring the girl out and hold a knife to her neck"

At this moment, the scene at the Shangshu Mansion was already very chaotic. Tang Tiehan had originally brought over more than twenty people. After hearing about the incident, his second brother, Tang Tiecheng, hurriedly gathered more than fifty brothers and friends to rush over. Although Tang Tiehan was the eldest in the family, when it came to courage among the three brothers, Tang Tiecheng was undoubtedly the one to be prioritized. After arriving, Tang Tiecheng led his brothers to the back door and clenched his fists to fiercely strike the door knocker.

While several individuals were discussing a major plan, a ladder had already been propped against the wall outside. Liang Dazhuang led several of his attendants to swiftly climb over the wall, using the clubs in their hands to fend off those attempting to scale the wall. Liang Dazhuang and another attendant worked together to forcefully overturn the ladder that had been placed against the courtyard wall, causing the two individuals on the ladder to scream as they fell down.

Tang Tiehan said to Tang Tiecheng: "Second brother, I have been banging on the door for half a day, and it just won't open!" It must be said that the quality of the gate of the Minister's residence is indeed quite good

Bang! The second thunderous sound was earth-shattering. With the collective effort of everyone, the thick end of the tree trunk struck heavily against the back door of the Minister's residence. The solid and heavy door could no longer withstand this immense impact; the bolt broke, and the door panel fell amidst the dust, crushing three servants who were unable to escape, resulting in continuous screams at the scene

The Hu family had more than ten house servants guarding the courtyard, all concentrated at the back door. Hearing the uproar outside, these servants were extremely anxious. Liang Dazhuang climbed up the ladder and onto the wall, and saw that over a hundred people had gathered outside the back door, with many others chopping down trees. In the distance, a few individuals were carrying a ladder towards this side. Liang Dazhuang quickly climbed down and said to the surrounding servants, "This is bad; they have borrowed a ladder and chopped down a large tree. It seems they are about to launch an attack."

Liang Dazhuang had already sensed that the situation was not good, and he stumbled down the ladder, his face filled with panic as he said: "I... I will go protect the young master..."

Hu Xiaotian found that this Ding could be considered quite exceptional; he was not clever when he should have been, yet he thought through matters thoroughly when he shouldn't have. Thus, he chuckled and said: "Completely bare, you got a bargain!"

Hoover was anxiously rubbing his hands: "What should I do now?" The master has not yet returned from court, and the mistress has coincidentally gone back to her hometown. Recently, all matters, big and small, in the Minister's residence have been managed by the old steward, Juan. However, Juan happens to be bedridden today. As for the troublesome young master, he is likely enjoying himself at this moment. The entire Minister's residence is in a state of chaos without a leader.

However, intimidation is still quite effective. Which girl in this world does not care about her appearance? It can be said that ruining her looks is more effective than killing her. Tang Qingxuan bit her lip, her eyes blinked, and upon seeing Hu Xiaotian slowly move his hand away, she finally dared not scream loudly, but whispered, "What do you want to do?"

The carriage and horse restarted, and Hu Buwei's intention in allowing Hu Tianxiong to return first was to clarify the ins and outs of the matter. If what Tang Wenzheng said was true, he wanted to see if he could prevent his foolish son from making a foolish mistake. To forcibly seize a virtuous young woman, and not just any ordinary woman, but the daughter of a court official, if this matter escalated, it would bring no benefit to the Hu family. Even if the emperor favored him, the reasoning would not be on their side, and Hu Buwei was well aware of this.

A group of servants cast a disdainful glance at this fellow, as if to say, can you find a more shameless excuse to run away?

Hu Xiaotian was just about to strike at Tang Qingxuan's arrogance when he heard Liang Dazhuang's breathless voice from outside: "Young Master... something big has happened... something big has gone wrong..."

Tang Qingxuan opened her beautiful eyes and glared at Hu Xiaotian, saying: "You want to elope? Let me tell you, my father is a court official, the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Chariot Department, Tang Wenzheng. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, be careful that my father will report you to the Emperor, and your entire family will be executed!"

Do you understand what it means to be unrestrained and reckless

The brothers Tang Tiehan and Tang Tiecheng walked out from the swirling smoke and dust, bare-chested, resembling iron towers, and in the eyes of the onlookers, they were like two deities descending from the heavens. Behind them were nearly one hundred valiant and spirited brothers, appearing at first glance like divine soldiers descending from the sky. The two brothers were already blinded by rage, and today they were determined to demand justice from the old Hu family.

Liang Dazhuang nodded repeatedly, then turned and walked to the door. This fellow suddenly remembered something: "Young Master, is she wearing ... ... clothes?"

Although Hu Xiaotian lived in the inner courtyard, he could not have failed to hear such a commotion outside. He carried Tang Qingxuan back to his room, and as soon as he placed her on the bed, the young lady woke up.

Before the words were finished, the Tang brothers, leading nearly one hundred strong men, stormed into the garden with great momentum

Hu Xiaotian looked at the girl and thought to himself, how vicious you are, what have I done to you? Are you going to wipe out my entire family? Which bastard tied her up like this? The binding is so well-defined and professional, I've only seen such techniques in Japanese adult films before
