Chapter 291: People You Shouldn't Provoke

"Alright, let's get them out of here first. It's better than them being trapped in this thatched hut. If we set it on fire, no one will be able to escape."

Zhong Heng responded immediately, wielding his sword to cut the rope, then grabbed Wang Po and carried her on his back, following Yu Shiyan as they broke through the window and escaped.

The leader, hot on their heels, saw that the outside was completely surrounded by his own men with knives drawn. He rushed forward and shouted, "Attack! Don't let them escape! Kill all three!"

Granny Wang was mentally challenged and had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, unable to walk properly. No matter how much people pulled her, she just covered her head and trembled, muttering incoherent nonsense.

The second brother shrewdly rolled his eyes and immediately took advantage of the chaos to sneak behind Zhong Heng, intending to finish off the crazy woman with a slash. Unexpectedly, Yu Shiyan reacted in time, grabbing the blade and blocking the fatal blow.

The second brother immediately lost interest, but then he thought that even if they couldn't kill that crazy woman by holding out, it wouldn't be bad to cripple this sucker in front of him.

He twisted the hilt of the knife with a wicked grin, causing Yu Shiyan to unconsciously frown. Crimson drops of blood fell to the ground like broken kites, staining the yellow earth beneath his feet.

Zhong Heng was shocked and was about to release Wang Po when Yu Shiyan interrupted him in a deep voice: "Take her away!"

Zhong Heng gritted his teeth, "I promised to protect you!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Yu Shiyan gripped the blade with his large, well-defined hands, applying slight pressure to maintain the stalemate. The second brother, however, showed no intention of backing down, advancing step by step until the sword was just a hair's breadth away from Yu Shiyan's heart. Only then did he chuckle cacklingly, "Weren't you quite capable just now? Why are you letting him go first now?"

But that's just talk; none of you are leaving!

"Then I'll see who dares to keep him here today!"

A pebble flew straight through the air, making the old man's hands go numb. He dropped his knife and staggered back two steps, clutching his wrist.

Upon hearing this voice, Yu Shiyan immediately hid his hand in his sleeve, but the endless crimson color could not be completely concealed no matter what he did.

"Who goes there!" the second brother roared angrily.

Yuan Siyin was dressed in a gorgeous red gown, her jet-black hair flowing gently. Her long, beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly curved, with a natural and smooth arc at the corners, as if they held a pool of clear spring water.

Seeing them all looking up at her, she immediately brandished the slingshot in her hand provocatively and said with a charming smile, "Your father."

"Why does this woman look so familiar?"

The fifth brother asked hesitantly.

"you guess?"

Yuan Siyin smiled, but the faint smile didn't reach her eyes; it seemed to float lightly on her skin, adding a touch of coldness to her expression.

"If I can't guess, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs," she said with a leisurely smile, her red lips curving upwards.

The more the fifth brother heard these words, the more familiar they sounded. He immediately slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember now, brother, she's faking it!"

She was locked up by us before, in the same room as that man!

Yuan Siyin clapped her hands repeatedly, her eyes showing a hint of admiration, but whether it was genuine or not, no one knew.

"Good memory, but unfortunately, he can't think straight and insists on provoking people he shouldn't."

Seeing that they all turned to look at Yu Shiyan upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin chuckled, "It's not him, it's me."

But that's about right.

The eldest brother frowned and glanced at her, saying nothing more: "Killing one more won't make a difference, killing one less won't make a difference either, just kill them."

"Those who want to kill me could line up from the palace gates to the outskirts of the city. Let's see if you have the ability."

Yuan Siyin chuckled and drew a golden whip from her waist.
