Seeing the old man in front of him looking at him with disdain, Shen Lingli instantly became unhappy, "Old man, I advise you to follow the teacher's instructions and cooperate well, otherwise don't blame us for taking action against you!"

The old man snorted coldly, "You are so arrogant at such a young age. You have no manners. Didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly and love the young? I said I have never seen it, and that means I have never seen it. Get out of my yard right now. I don't want to see you guys again!" The old man's tone was very impatient.

Shen Lingli was so angry that she jumped up and down. She didn't expect that a young lady from the Shen family would be taught a lesson by an old country man. "Old man, you are shameless even though you have been given the honor!"

Without a word, Shen Lingli ordered his men to check the old man's room. The old man stood at the doorway, fearless, cursing, "Under the whole heaven and earth, you are so presumptuous! You will surely be punished by heaven!"

Shen Lingli laughed out loud, "God's punishment, this is what I least believe in!"

She has always believed that my destiny is in my own hands, so Shen Lingli has never believed in ghosts and gods. If there really are gods in this world, then Shen Yuaner would not be the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Therefore, she only believes that the winner is the king, and only the winner is qualified to be worshipped by others.

Seeing that the men in black were about to rush over, the old man had no intention of moving and stood calmly in front of the door. Lu Yuan looked at the scene through the crack in the door and was worried. Just when he was about to rush out to fight those black-clad mermaids to the death, the villagers of the entire village rushed in.

"Thieves, this is our village. It's not your turn to act recklessly here. We have already notified the nearby authorities. Even if we lose our lives here, we will never let you do whatever you want in our village!"

The villagers have lived here for generations, and this is their home. Now that their home has been destroyed, no matter how scared they are, they still muster up the courage to fight against the people in front of them.

Although the villagers do not have superb martial arts and sharp weapons, they have the pride of the lowest working people. They are not fighting for themselves, they are fighting for their homes that they have protected for generations and for their descendants, so they are fearless.

Shen Lingli and her gang were actually frightened by the villagers' fearless look of death. They didn't expect these country folk to be so tough. Although the people she brought were all martial artists, she didn't bring many people with her. Facing hundreds of old, young, women and children, if they really wanted to fight with them, it was hard to say whether they could escape unscathed.

Glaring at the villagers, Shen Lingli turned around and looked at the old man's thatched house behind him. He was unwilling but helpless, "You are so cruel, go!" With an order, Shen Lingli ordered the men in black to leave.

But even so, Shen Lingli still did not give up tracking down Tuoba Jun. After all, things had come to this point, and it would be too unprofitable to give up so easily.

So Shen Lingli had people guarding outside the village and paying attention to every move in the village. At the same time, she led her people back to the place where they disappeared when they were tracking down Tuoba Jun. She also had people conduct a careful survey of the surrounding area, but in the end they returned empty-handed. There was no trace of any clues, except for the two outer garments used to escape.

Up to now, the King of the Western Regions still doesn't know that Tuoba Jun was hunted down and his whereabouts are unknown. The Emperor of Li immediately blocked the news after learning about it. The deserters who came to deliver the letter have been detained by the emperor. Even when he sent troops to search for her, he specifically ordered them to act in plain clothes and keep a low profile. So up to now, except for Shen Lingli and the royal family of Li, no one knows that the third princess of the Western Regions has been in danger and is missing.

Li Han and Lu Li secretly left the palace and went out of the city with Lu Li's help. They searched along the route Tuoba Yun and the others took back to Xinjiang, but they did not find any useful information. They did not ask questions blatantly on the way, but only asked passers-by indirectly. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they acted carefully along the way. After all, this matter was of great importance and should not be taken lightly.

The two of them searched all the way and unknowingly came to the place where Tuoba Jun had the accident. Here, Lu Li happened to find the scraps of wood from the destroyed carriage. He followed the traces and went forward to investigate. Years of experience and intuition told him that although this place had been deliberately cleaned up, there were still traces of a fierce fight.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Li Han saw that Lu Li's reaction was not right and followed him.

Lu Li handed the half-decorated token-like object with dried blood on it to Li Han. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the badge of a soldier from the Western Regions. It should belong to the soldier who escorted Tuoba Yun back to Xinjiang!"

"You mean..." Looking at the broken wooden sign, Li Han didn't dare to think any further. At this moment, his worry about Tuoba Jun deepened, fearing that something might really happen to her and Lu Yuan.

Lu Li originally wanted to comfort Li Han, but at this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to have heard something and immediately strode in front of Li Han to protect her. Li Han felt a little strange, and Lu Li said, "Someone is coming!"

At this time, Shen Lingli was walking out from the other side with a group of people. She originally wanted to sit back and wait for Tuoba Jun and the others to fall into the trap, but what she didn't expect was that she would have an unexpected gain.

"Princess, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this!" Shen Lingli greeted Li Han with a smile.

Shen Lingli smiled on the surface, but she was actually very angry in her heart, especially when she saw Lu Li defending Li Han so much and the two of them were so close, Shen Lingli wished that Li Han would die immediately to relieve the hatred in her heart.

"Chen Lingli?" Li Han felt a little strange, "Why are you here!"

Looking at the group of men in black behind Shen Lingli, Li Han couldn't help but connect Tuoba Jun's affairs with her. Lu Li also felt that the other party had ill intentions, so he protected Li Han more closely.

Shen Lingli smiled and pretended to think for a few seconds, "Why am I here? That's a good question, but I don't want to tell you!"

Li Han was a little impatient and frowned, "Is Tuoba Jun's pursuit related to you?"

"Oh, you're about to die, and you're still thinking about others. Why don't you think about yourself?"

Shen Lingli's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and signaled. The archers behind him immediately got ready, strode forward, tightened the bowstrings, and pointed their arrows at Li Han.

Seeing Shen Lingli's killing intent, Lu Li's expression turned bad. If he wanted to escape alone, it would be possible, but now it was a bit tricky for him to face so many archers with Li Han. Lu Li couldn't help but feel troubled.

At this time, Shen Lingli was heard shouting coldly behind the archer: "Release!"
