Chapter 348 Enjoy the feast
The Wang family behind Wang Taishan had no intention of waging a full-scale war against the Zheng family.
The caravan that robbed the Zheng family and the kidnapping of Zheng Qing's eldest daughter are not the same thing.
Wang Taishan knew very well that Zheng Qiuyan was extremely favored by Zheng Qing, and could even be considered the second most important person in the Zheng family. If he dared to kidnap Zheng Qiuyan, he would even allow Wu Dalang to humiliate her...
That would be a fight to the death, and at that point, even the Wang family might not be able to protect them.
That's why Wang Taishan chose to stop Wu Dalang and prevent him from attacking Zheng Qiuyan's caravan.
"The boss."
Wu Dalang grinned wickedly and said, "When do you think the Wang family will be able to destroy the Zheng family? If the Zheng family is destroyed, can we get a share of the spoils?"
Wang Taishan silently shook his head. Destroying the Zheng family was not an easy task. After all, Zheng Qing was a prefect appointed by the imperial court, and even the Wang family would not dare to lay a hand on him.
but……
Not attacking Zheng Qing doesn't mean they dare not attack the Zheng family's caravan. In recent days, the Taishan bandits have made a fortune by robbing the Zheng family's caravan.
"Let's go!"
After pausing for a moment, Wang Taishan turned and left, while Wu Dalang glanced longingly in the direction Zheng Qiuyan had gone before turning around and quickly following after her.
…………

Two days later.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Chenjia Village, Zheng Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the vendors coming and going.
She had been on tenterhooks the whole way, fearing that she would be targeted by the bandits.
Fortunately, they arrived at Chenjia Village's territory without incident.
Once here, Zheng Qiuyan could finally relax completely, after all...
With Chen Dao here, it would be tantamount to suicide for the Tai Shan bandits to come here. Besides, it's impossible for the Tai Shan bandits to keep an eye on them all the way to a place so far from the county town.
"Miss Zheng."
Chen Zhong, who was in charge of guarding the gate, greeted Zheng Qiuyan. The guards already knew Zheng Qiuyan's identity, so they did not stop her and let her into the village directly.
Upon successfully entering the village, Zheng Qiuyan's first sight was still of the guard team members training in the open space.
It is worth mentioning that, thanks to Chen Dao's tireless training, all 35 members of the guard team have been promoted to ninth-rank martial artists.
Chen Da, who made the most progress, reached the peak of the ninth rank and will soon be promoted to the eighth rank.
Chen Da, who had been appointed as the captain of the guard team, was instructing everyone in practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist when he seemed to notice something. He turned his head and looked towards Chencun Avenue, where he saw a beautiful young girl watching them.
Unaware of the girl's malice, Chen Da nodded to Zheng Qiuyan and then continued to urge everyone to practice.
On Chencun Avenue, Qingying lowered her voice and said to Zheng Qiuyan, "Miss, all of these people have become martial artists."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiuyan was deeply shocked. It was hard to imagine that more than thirty martial artists could be born in such a remote village as Chenjia Village.
However, Zheng Qiuyan felt relieved when she thought about the existence of the Blood Feather Chicken.
The Zheng family has personally verified the miraculous effects of the Blood Feather Chicken. With the help of the Blood Feather Chicken, the martial artists of the Zheng family have made rapid progress. Take Qingying, for example. With the help of the Blood Feather Chicken, she has already advanced to the seventh rank and is currently consuming the Crimson Blood Chicken, intending to quickly advance to the peak of the seventh rank.
"Let's go!"
Zheng Qiuyan withdrew her gaze, got off the carriage, and chose to walk forward.
Soon, a commotion came from the front, and people were gathered in a shed in front of them, seemingly having a meal.
Zheng Qiuyan looked closely and saw three large pots set up under the shed. At this moment, steam was rising from the pots, and the fragrant aroma was spreading from them, as if trying to whet one's appetite.
Next to the large pot, tables were set up, and people were sitting around them, enjoying their meal.
"Brother Daredevil".
Jiang Xiaobai, Jin Yin, and Xu San found an empty table and sat down. They asked Li Dadan, who was cooking, "What's on the menu today?"
"Today we're mainly selling noodles."
Feng Xiang, who came to help, said with a smile, "We have three kinds of noodles for sale: cabbage noodles, egg noodles, and chicken noodles. What would you like to order?"
It turned out to be soup noodles.
Jiang Xiaobai and his two companions exchanged glances. They knew that the people of Chenjia Village called soup noodles.
"Aunt Feng, how much are these noodles?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked with a smile.
Although Feng Xiang was a woman, he did not look down on her in the slightest, nor did he dare to. Having often eaten here, he already knew the identities of Li Dadan and the others, who were Chen Dao's maternal uncles.
Who is Chen Dao?
He was a highly respected figure in the entire Chenjia Village, whose words carried more weight than the village chief's. Who would dare to look down on Chen Dao's relatives?
"A bowl of cabbage noodles costs eight coins, a bowl of egg noodles costs ten coins, and a bowl of chicken noodles costs fifteen coins."
"Give each of us a bowl of cabbage noodles."
"okay."
Soon, Feng Xiang brought out three bowls of cabbage noodles.
The noodles in the bowl were snow-white, and a few drops of oil and a few fresh green cabbage leaves floated in the soup, making Jiang Xiaobai and his two companions' mouths water.
Jiang Xiaobai picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of cabbage leaf, and put it in his mouth, a look of enjoyment on his face.
For these migrant workers in Chenjia Village, even a single cabbage leaf was an extremely rare treat. Before this, as refugees, they couldn't even get enough chaff to eat, let alone cabbage.
"Comfortable."
After chewing the cabbage and swallowing it, Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of soup and exhaled, feeling warm all over.
The morning air was still a bit chilly, but a sip of hot soup would instantly warm you up.
What's even more remarkable is that this soup was made by Li Dadan and Li Feng using chicken giblets. It has a sweet taste and a hint of oily aroma, which is very energizing for people like Jiang Xiaobai who do heavy physical labor.
Soon, Jiang Xiaobai and the other two were slurping noodles.
Meanwhile, many villagers who were eating in the shed also noticed the arrival of Zheng Qiuyan and the others.
"Look, that fairy-like girl is here again!"
"She must be here to see Daoge'er, right?"
"Nonsense, why would I come looking for you if not Dao-ge'er?"
"This girl is so beautiful. If I could marry a wife like her, my life would be complete."
"..."
Many young people stared wide-eyed at Zheng Qiuyan and Qingying. Whether it was the fairy-like Zheng Qiuyan or the heroic Qingying, they both captivated their attention.
"Miss?"
Manager Wang, who was sitting not far from Jiang Xiaobai and his companions, also noticed Zheng Qiuyan's arrival. He quickly got up and walked out of the shed to greet Zheng Qiuyan and her companion.
