I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Chapter 128 Another Suppression of Black Wind Stronghold

Seeing Long Bin stunned, Wan'er's face flushed even redder, and she lowered her head and ran forward.

Upon seeing this, Long Bin felt a surge of emotion. He turned to look at the surrendered soldiers and the newly arrived Long family army, and shouted, "Brothers, the Shuling Marquis's mansion is right in front of us. Let's go all out and wipe them out completely!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' morale soared, and they shouted in unison, "Long live the King of the South! He is invincible in every battle!"

Led by Long Bin, the soldiers surged towards the Shuling Marquis's residence like a tidal wave. The guards of the Shuling Marquis's residence panicked at the sight. They tried to resist, but under the fierce attack of Long Bin and his men, they were quickly routed.

Long Bin advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly reaching the council hall of the Marquis of Shuling's residence. He brandished his long sword and forcefully cleaved open the council hall's doors.

Inside the council hall, Marquis Shuling sat in the main seat, his face pale and his eyes flashing with terror.

When he saw Long Bin and the others rush in, he trembled with fear and couldn't even speak.

Long Bin coldly looked at the Marquis of Shuling, then turned to look at Yan Feng who was being escorted over, cursing inwardly: Damn it, a mere marquis needs a stand-in.

With a flick of his hand, he smashed the clown of the Marquis of Shuling to pieces, then slowly walked up to the Marquis of Shuling and said, "You have committed many evils, and today is your death day."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of despair crossed the Marquis of Shuling's eyes. He knew he couldn't escape this calamity no matter what, so he simply closed his eyes and awaited death.

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang out in the council chamber. "Long Bin, you can't kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Long Bin frowned. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in white standing in a corner of the council hall. The woman had a graceful figure and stunning beauty, but her eyes held a hint of pleading and determination.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me from killing him?" Long Bin asked warily.

The woman in white gave a slight bow and said, "My name is Bai Ling, and I am the niece of the Marquis of Shuling. I beg you not to kill him; I am willing to die in his place."

"Such an evil person, you still want to save him?" Long Bin asked, puzzled.

"Your Majesty, that fake Yan Feng has been using poison to control the real Marquis. For the past six or seven years, all the evil deeds have been committed by the fake Yan Feng. Furthermore, Yan Yaozu is not the real Marquis's son; he was born from an affair between the fake Yan Feng and the Marquis's wife."

Upon hearing this, Long Bin was deeply moved.

He never expected that this woman would sacrifice herself to save the Marquis of Shuling.

What no one expected was that this fake Yan Feng had replicated the scene of his father being cuckolded.

“Miss Bai Ling, the Marquis of Shuling has committed numerous evils. I cannot let him go just because it is only your side of the story,” Long Bin said.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of despair crossed Bai Ling's eyes. She looked at Long Bin and said, "Long Bin, I beg you. I'm willing to do anything for you as long as you let him go."

Looking at Bai Ling's resolute eyes, Long Bin couldn't help but hesitate.

Just then, Lin Wan'er walked to Long Bin's side and said softly, "Why don't we let him go? The talk of the real and fake Marquis has been going on for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Long Bin turned to look at Lin Wan'er.

He saw a pleading look in Lin Wan'er's eyes, and his heart softened. He sighed and said, "Alright, since you're all begging me like this, I'll let him go this time. But he must be stripped of his martial arts and never commit evil again."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Shuling's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately knelt down and agreed, "I am willing, I am willing to abolish martial arts and never do evil again."

Seeing this, Long Bin nodded. He ordered his soldiers to take Shuling Hou away, strip him of his martial arts skills, and behead Yan Yaozu as a warning to the public.

After confiscating the Marquis's mansion, Long Bin instructed that some of Yan Yaorong's family property be given to him, since the second son of the Yan family had a good reputation in Shuling and was considered a virtuous man who remained untainted by the mud.

Then, he turned to Bai Ling and Lin Wan'er and said, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling and Lin Wan'er both gave a slight bow and then followed Long Bin out of the council hall.

After leaving the Shuling Marquis's residence, Long Bin looked at the surrendered soldiers and the Long family army and shouted, "Brothers, we've won! From now on, Shuling Prefecture belongs to the Dinghai Special Zone of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers cheered with joy. They knew that all of this was a victory led by Long Bin, and they all expressed their respect and gratitude to Long Bin.

Long Bin looked at the soldiers with a smile, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

He knew this was just the beginning of another step in his unification of the world.

He believed that under his leadership, the soldiers would surely be able to defeat all enemies and realize his great ambition.

In the days that followed, Long Bin began to reorganize the political and military affairs of Shuling Prefecture. He appointed a group of capable officials to manage the administration, while also strengthening the training and equipment of the army. Under his efforts, Shuling Prefecture quickly regained its vitality and vigor.

During this time, Long Bin's feelings for Lin Wan'er and Bai Ling also deepened.

Bai Ling is gentle, virtuous, and understanding; Lin Wan'er is clever, quick-witted, and resourceful. Both of them became indispensable confidantes to Long Bin.

Just as Long Bin was preparing to further expand his power, a piece of news made him fall into deep thought.

It turns out that a bandit gang called Black Wind Stronghold was wreaking havoc in Niu Mu Mountain, not far from Shuling Prefecture.

They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities, causing immense suffering to the local people.

Upon hearing this, Long Bin frowned.

He knew that if he couldn't eliminate Black Wind Stronghold as soon as possible, his unification efforts would be severely hampered. Therefore, he decided to personally lead an elite force to wipe out Black Wind Stronghold.

Upon learning of Long Bin's decision, Lin Wan'er and Bai Ling both expressed their desire to go with him. Looking at their determined eyes, Long Bin felt a warmth in his heart. He nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go together."

So, Long Bin led Lin Wan'er, Bai Ling, and a group of elite soldiers, marching in a grand procession towards Black Wind Stronghold. Along the way, they overcame numerous difficulties and finally arrived at the foot of Black Wind Stronghold.

Looking at the treacherous terrain and sturdy fortifications of Black Wind Stronghold, Long Bin couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

However, he knew even more that this was a hurdle they had to overcome.

So he ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle, and then personally led them to attack Black Wind Stronghold.

After a fierce battle, Long Bin and his men finally broke through the Black Wind Stronghold's defenses and wiped out the bandits.

While taking stock of the spoils of war, Long Bin discovered some important clues and intelligence.

It turns out that there was an even bigger force supporting Black Wind Stronghold.

Upon hearing this, Long Bin's heart sank. "Happy New Year to all my friends!"
