Yi Huan is a businessman, and what businessmen hate most are bandits who rob and plunder.

She narrowed her eyes, and a hidden dart pierced straight into the bandit leader's Adam's apple. The silver needle in the dart itself was coated with anesthetic.

She didn't give the bandit leader a chance to breathe at all. With a flash, the long sword in her hand sliced ​​across the bandit's carotid artery.

He stared wide-eyed, unable to believe he would die at the hands of a little girl.

The bandit leader fell to the ground with a thud, and the remaining bandits on the boat were immediately thrown into a panic. In that moment of chaos, many of them were killed by Yi Huan's men.

"father……"

The woman in red on the shore finally couldn't hold back any longer, shouted, and led another burly man onto the boat.

He immediately wanted to avenge the dead bandit leader.

"You dare kill my father? Do you really think I, a Taiwanese, don't exist?"

The woman in red was wielding a large cleaver, which looked domineering and powerful, but in Yi Huan's hands, she couldn't last more than two moves before Yi Huan's sword pierced her heart.

"Sorry, my hand slipped..."

Yi Huan thought the woman standing there was so powerful, but she was only good at talking.

The female bandit named Wanwan coughed up blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at Yi Huan with bloodshot eyes.

"I...I'm dead, and you can't bring Young Master Shen back to life..."

Yi Huan may be young, but she has developed a tough and ruthless approach. If she weren't ruthless herself, how could she have managed the business that her mother had passed down to her?

She smiled slyly: "What? You poisoned him?"

Wanwan laughed with all her might: "Hahaha... I want your Shen family to be wiped out..."

Yi Huan exerted force with her wrist, and the long sword pierced straight through the woman's back. She whispered in her ear.

"Unfortunately, I am not a member of the Shen family..."

Before she breathed her last, the woman heard Yi Huan's words and realized they had fallen into a trap. These people were not actually members of the Shen family who had received their letter.

She turned to look at her dead brothers from Dawangzhai; their deaths today had truly been in vain.

With the woman's death, all the pirates on the ship were either killed or captured.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Shi Shuang came over and asked about Yi Huan, who was covered in blood.

"I'm fine. Check if there are any fish that have escaped from the net on the boat or in the water."

These stones have all been inspected, and I've come to report to Yi Huan.

"I've seen them all. The leader of the bandits and the woman are dead. The second-in-command, who came with them, escaped through the water."

Several of his men also jumped into the river, but they were injured and their eyes were splashed with pepper spray, so they couldn't run very far.

"Send a few men to chase after them. The wounded will stay on the boat. Manager Shi, take a few men to repair the bottom of the boat, then go and report to the authorities to clear out these river bandits. The rest of you will follow me into the stronghold."

Knowing that Shen Jiazhen had been captured and brought here, Yi Huan naturally wanted to take him back to the capital.

They captured two surviving bandits to lead the way and soon entered Dawang Village.

Only a small number of bandits were guarding the village, and they weren't enough to deal with Yi Huan's men.

She found the location where Shen Jiazhen was being held with just a little trick.

Shen Jiazhen was locked in a pitch-black cellar, where it was cold and damp, and he became completely listless.

He had always admired Princess Leyang's reputation. Although she held the title of princess, she was not a woman raised in seclusion.

His memory of her had become hazy, but the name Chen Yihuan remained etched in his mind.

He had heard that Princess Leyang was returning from Southern Chu and would be passing through this area, so he wanted to see what she looked like now.

Unexpectedly, he was robbed by a group of river bandits, who also discovered his identity.

They forced him to write a letter asking the Shen family to bring gold to ransom him. He had run away secretly, so how could he let his family know? He certainly couldn't let these bandits contact the Shen family's bank.

So the address given to them in the letter was completely made up, and the letter never actually reached his father and mother.

Ten days have passed, and these river bandits, for the sake of the silver, will not do anything to him, they will just keep him locked up.

But since they couldn't get the ransom, they came up with another plan: to have him marry into the bandit stronghold.

He knew that if they tried to leave the father behind and take over the son's property, he would never let them have their way.

His ideal wife could only be Princess Leyang, and he would starve himself to death rather than let these despicable people succeed.

The cellar door opened, and Yi Huan saw a thin boy lying there. He could still open his eyes a little, which proved that he was still alive.

This was the first time Shen Jiazhen had seen the female bandits of this village. Even though he was on a hunger strike, they still wouldn't let him go.

He was so weak that he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

Although Yi Huan had never met the grown-up Shen Jiazhen, judging from his face, which looked eight-tenths like Uncle Shen, she figured he must be Shen Jiazhen.

After taking his pulse, they found that he was poisoned, and the poison was of the heat type, but the people of Dawangzhai deliberately locked him in a cellar.

The cold here is just right to counteract the heat toxins in his body, which is why he didn't develop the poison so quickly.

His stomach was empty, and he had no idea how many days he hadn't eaten.

"This kid, you're lucky to have met your big sister."

Yi Huan had him carried to a room outside Dawangzhai, fed him some porridge, and had the herbs from their boat brought over.

With medication and acupuncture, the poison in his body will gradually be neutralized.

The government officials wiped out the bandits of Dawangzhai in just one day.

Yi Huan's caravan had dozens of people, some of whom were injured and unable to move.

In addition, their merchant ships were damaged and were moored on the riverbank for repairs, so overnight, Dawanzhai was no longer home to river bandits, but became a stopover for their caravan.

Knowing that Yi Huan's identity was Princess Leyang, the local government sent people to deliver medicinal herbs and food to Dawangzhai.

Shen Jiazhen didn't wake up until the next day. The moment she opened her eyes, she finally saw the long-awaited light.

My stomach wasn't so hungry anymore, and my body seemed full of energy.

When he turned his head, he saw Yi Huan holding a bowl of medicine by his bedside, expressionless as she tried to force-feed him the medicine.

Shen Jiazhen was startled and immediately sat up in bed.

Looking at his location, the simple structure of the house, the color and smell, isn't this Dawangzhai?

He hadn't actually been rescued; he was still in Dawangzhai. Could this woman in front of him be the bandit's daughter who was about to force him into marriage?

"What do you want to do? You're a female bandit. I'm warning you, even if I die, I, Shen Jiazhen, will never marry you."

After being criticized by him, Yi Huan looked down at her clothes. Did she look like a female bandit?

She killed all those female bandits, and none of them were as pretty as her.

Sigh... Shen Jiazhen is really scared out of his wits by the river bandits; he can't tell right from wrong.

"Shen Jiazhen, drink your medicine."

Shen Jiazhen immediately tried to knock over the bowl of medicine in Yi Huan's hand, but fortunately Yi Huan was quite agile and managed to keep the bowl of medicine from spilling.

"I won't drink it. When coercion failed, you tried to drug me. Don't think I don't know your wicked scheme. Even if I become a corpse, I'll still be someone you can't have..."
