The orange-red flames, like a giant brand of shame, were deeply seared onto the chest of the Hebei Plain, and etched into the marrow of everyone who witnessed or heard of it. When the gray of dawn struggled to tear through the thick smoke-filled sky, what appeared before the world was a charred, hellish scene, reeking of burnt flesh and ashes. Torn flags fluttered helplessly in the cold wind, charred skeletons of supply wagons leaned askew, and twisted, charred corpses, broken armor, and the wreckage of weapons littered the ground. The surviving government troops, like frightened birds, stared blankly, searching aimlessly for comrades or any usable supplies in the ruins. The disappearance and uncertain fate of their commander, Gou Xi, cast a heavy shadow of despair over this rout. In stark contrast, twenty miles away, was Gongshi Fan's camp. Although the air was thick with exhaustion and pain, a euphoric joy of surviving a catastrophe spread through the camp like a plague. Soldiers rushed about, excitedly describing the miraculous fire-ox charge of the previous night, and the figure who, like a demon descended to earth, fought his way through the sea of ​​fire—Shi Le! His name, as if sprouting wings, spread throughout the entire Hebei battlefield in a single night, accompanied by blood and flames.

    "Just transmigrated and already exiled? And with a whole house full of beautiful women?!" Qin Yi transmigrated into the body of the son-in-law of the Marquis of Jingbei in the Great Yue Dynasty, but before he could even enjoy his wealth, an imperial edict crashed down—"The Marquis of Jingbei has committed treason; his entire family is exiled three thousand miles away!" The dignified Marquis of Jingbei's family was branded a traitor by the emperor, his father-in-law died on the battlefield, and the whole family was banished to the desolate wilderness. Even more absurdly, the exile entourage included: a graceful mother-in-law, a charming sister-in-law, and a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law… On the road to exile, there was a lack of food and medicine, barbarian raids, and pursuit by imperial assassins. Fortunately, Qin Yi had the "Eternal Character Role-Playing System." Tonight, he'll play the "King of Thieves," emptying the emperor's treasury and living a life of luxury on his journey into exile. Tomorrow, he'll become the "Medicine Saint," his medical skills saving countless lives. The day after, he'll transform into Huo Qubing, defeating the barbarians until they cry for their mothers. The day after that, he'll cosplay as Cao Cao, turning the court upside down. The Great Yue Emperor pounds his chest in despair: "This scoundrel stole my empire and my beloved concubine!" The Rouran Empress's eyes sparkle: "His 'strength'... Keeps me up at night." The Barbarian Khan roars to the heavens: "He annihilated my Barbarian tribe! This is an irreconcilable hatred!" Years later, in the Golden Palace, Qin Yi leans back on the dragon throne, the Rouran Empress in his arms, looking at the assembled officials, and chuckles: "This empire, I, Qin Yi, will take it!" (A refreshing read + farming + conquest + multiple female leads + lots of beautiful pictures, welcome to the pit!)

    Chu Xing killed the third brother in the blink of an eye. He crouched down and searched the third brother's body for a while, finding some loose silver coins and a fifty-tael silver note in his chest. He then glanced at the chief's treasury. It was empty. He immediately understood that the chief had emptied his pockets to support the entire stronghold. Such a kind chief, after his death, left his widow and orphans to be subjected to all kinds of humiliation. He turned and left the side room, looking at the women trembling with fear, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The woman was clearly stunned by the sudden murder of Fu Hu, the man who used to make a living by telling jokes. After a long while, she stammered, "Brother Fu Hu, Brother Ba really didn't leave anything for everyone. If you really want her, take Yu'er with you. You two are such a good match, you'll definitely have a good life after leaving the mountain."
