Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

However, while fleeing, the person died halfway. It's estimated that he was killed by bandits; anyway, the official is vague, and the body wasn't brought back intact.

Later, my father felt guilty towards my sister and wanted to cancel the engagement. But my sister was stubborn. Maybe she was angry with my father, so she insisted on having the marriage, and ultimately became a widow."

Listening to Tang Tianguang's recounting of his family's troubles, Lu Renjia didn't know how to comfort him, and said with a smile:

"There's nothing wrong with being a widow at home; at least you can stay away from Jianghu. Girls venturing into Jianghu are just seeking trouble. Alas, people on the shore always want to play in Jianghu, but once they're in the water, they want to return to shore."

Tang Tianguang was indifferent to Lu Renjia's advice, stroked the long sword at his side, and said:

"Have you heard of Sword Demon Yan Changqing? My sister admires him the most, and so do I. Once I send this girl to the Capital City of Nanjin Country, I'll go to Dazhou, and I must find Yan Changqing to become his apprentice. After mastering the skills, I'll return to Loulan and teach my sister the swordsmanship."

Lu Renjia hesitated for a moment and said, "My brother is actually Yan Changqing's disciple."

"Stop bragging."

Tang Tianguang lay on the long bench in the carriage, crossed his legs, and laughed, "If your brother is Yan Changqing's disciple, then I'm Zhao Wuxiu's senior."

Lu Renjia smiled but didn't explain.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the scenes of the mad Wen Zhaodi in the temple before, and couldn't help being worried.

He didn't know what happened to his sister-in-law.

How is Zhang doing?

Plus, what does the "mirror" mentioned by my sister-in-law mean?

Lu Renjia couldn't figure it out.

For now, he could only quickly find Jiang Shouzhong and rely on him to resolve it.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded from outside.

Closing his eyes and resting, Tang Tianguang immediately sat up when he heard the noise, looking out through the car window.

He saw a group of Nanjin Country cavalry surrounding several refugees.

One soldier with a fierce face was swinging the whip in his hand, fiercely thrashing towards a stooped old woman while cursing harshly.

It turns out these soldiers passed through here and accidentally dropped half a piece of bread. The old lady saw it and felt sorry for her grandson, who had been hungry for days, so she picked up the bread and gave it to her grandson to eat.

This scene happened to be seen by the soldiers.

Hence, they returned to teach a lesson to these few rapacious civilians who dared to "steal" military food.

Tang Tianguang, young and hot-blooded, hating evil, burst into anger upon witnessing such a scene and was just about to go out when Qing Niang grabbed his arm.

Qing Niang pointed to the patrolling soldiers in the distance and said:

"There should be a military camp nearby. Once you kill these soldiers, more troops will come, and none of us will escape then."

Tang Tianguang gritted his teeth, unwilling in his heart.

He turned to gaze at the old woman being ruthlessly beaten and humiliated by the soldiers, especially when he saw the soldier kick down the child who tried to save his grandmother and even take out a knife, rage instantly overpowered him.

"Lu, Qing Niang Sister-in-law, take Ci away first; I'll catch up with you soon." With that, he quickly grabbed the sword hilt and forcefully struck the back of the horse.

The horse, in pain, neighed and sped forward wildly.

Meanwhile, Tang Tianguang jumped off the speeding horse carriage.

"Tang!"

Qing Niang shouted.

Seeing the other run straight toward those soldiers, she cursed, knowing this wasn't the time to hesitate, so she had to harden her heart and drive the carriage away.

"Brother Tang, be careful."

Ci poked her head out of the carriage window and shouted.

The soldiers also noticed Tang Tianguang rushing towards them in surprise, quickly drawing their swords.

Bam!

The cavalry closest to Tang Tianguang was kicked off the horse directly.

The immense impact left the cavalry akin to a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ground, letting out a painful groan, while the long sword in his hand flew far away.

The horse beside him was frightened by the sudden change, screeching loudly and raising its front hooves high.

But in a flash of sword light, both horse legs were cut off.

The soldier on horseback fell heavily into the dust along with the horse.

He struggled to get up, but felt a coldness on his neck; Tang Tianguang's sword tip was precisely at his throat, gently slicing, fresh blood splattering.

Tang Tianguang, after all, a cultivator of master realm, easily suppressed these few soldiers in terms of strength.

One soldier, realizing the situation was bad, hurriedly reached into his pocket, fumbled out a small bamboo tube, and pressed the mechanism at the bottom.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of red smoke swiftly soared into the sky, drawing a conspicuous trajectory.

In the distance, the patrolling soldiers saw the situation and quickly turned their horses around, galloping rapidly towards this direction.

In an instant, dust was flying, and the sound of hooves thundered.

At the same time, arrows whistled from afar like raindrops, rushing directly towards Tang Tianguang with a sound like the wind breaking.

Tang Tianguang wielded his longsword like an impenetrable silver shield, deflecting the incoming arrows.

After dealing with these soldiers, Tang Tianguang, while blocking the arrows, turned his head towards those refugees who had already collapsed on the ground in fear and shouted loudly: "Leave here now!"

The refugees, as if awakening from a dream, were terrified and helped each other, scrambling and crawling in all directions.

Seeing the refugees gradually leaving, Tang Tianguang felt slightly relieved and focused all his energy on shaking off these reinforcements.

However, as he looked around, he found that several cavalry units, well-trained, had silently formed a tight encirclement around him.

"Damn it!"

Tang Tianguang steeled his heart, leaped up, and dashed towards the patrol soldiers with the least numbers, intending to break through there.

But before he could reach them, those soldiers suddenly dispersed, swinging specially made ropes in their hands.

At the same time, a large net fell from the sky.

Tang Tianguang quickly landed and dodged.

Several ropes flew out like venomous snakes, with hooks tied to their ends.

Simultaneously, poisoned crossbow bolts launched sneak attacks from different directions, forcing Tang Tianguang to dodge left and right, avoiding being entangled by these ropes.

As time passed, more soldiers joined the encirclement and slaughter.

These well-trained soldiers cooperated more closely, like a precision killing machine.

Tang Tianguang gradually found himself out of strength.

Finally, by accident, Tang Tianguang's right leg was fiercely entangled by a rope with a hook.

Before he could unsheathe his sword to cut the rope, a downpour of arrows rained down again like a locust swarm.

Tang Tianguang had no choice but to quickly swing his sword to fend them off.

The cavalry that ensnared Tang Tianguang saw this and immediately clamped their legs on their horses, galloping away.

The horse neighed and galloped forward, the massive pulling force instantly dragged Tang Tianguang to the ground.

Tang Tianguang was heavily thrown to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

He struggled to get up, but due to his lack of experience against these regular soldiers, his left arm was soon entangled by another rope and was directly pulled up.

His longsword in his hand was also caught and flew out.

The surrounding cavalry, seeing this, shouted excitedly, pulling on the ropes and making Tang Tianguang's body spin continuously on the ground.

Tang Tianguang could only curse loudly.

At this moment, a massive shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, covering it like dark clouds.

Before anyone could react, countless arrows rained down with a "swoosh swoosh," accompanied by continuous screams, instantly taking down more than half of the Nanjin Country cavalry originally besieging Tang Tianguang.

Some of the soldiers who were hit clutched their wounds and struggled in pain, while others fell to the ground without a sound.

At the same time, the horn sounded from the distant barracks.

Tang Tianguang felt a bit bewildered, his body swayed, and he barely steadied himself, instinctively looking towards the north.

He then saw a black line slowly surging in from afar.

Initially as tiny as ants, but as the distance shortened, that black line gradually grew larger, turning into a mighty army charging towards the barracks like a tide.

Tang Tianguang's eyes widened!

The Yanrong Army!

The army surged like a dark flood, unstoppable.

And one division of the Yanrong army charged towards Tang Tianguang here.

They wielded long knives, slicing through the remaining Nanjin Country soldiers as if cutting melons.

The leading general came up to Tang Tianguang, observing him from atop her horse.

It was then that Tang Tianguang was shocked to realize that the other party was a woman.

She wore a dark red lady's armor, with a silver face guard that only revealed a pair of cold, bright eyes.

"Princess, should we kill him?"

The adjutant beside her slightly bowed, lowered his voice, and cautiously asked.

Yelü Miaomiao paid no attention to the dazed Tang Tianguang, just lightly shouting "Giddy-up!" as she led the vast army behind her to charge swiftly towards the direction of the Nanjin Country barracks.

Leaving only Tang Tianguang standing there in a daze.
