"Despicable!"
"Shameless! If you've got the guts, we'll..."
Sun Qiao and the others fell down, but he did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he waited a while to make sure that the effects of the drug had taken hold and that these people were no longer able to resist before he had his subordinates go forward and tie them up one by one.
Chief Liu's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred that bordered on a desperate madness.
Sun Qiao glanced at it and said, "Chief Liu, the princess asked me to ask a question: if you all die, what will happen to Liu Family Village?"
Upon hearing this, Chief Liu was stunned for a moment, then slowly released his grip and obediently allowed the guards to tie her up.
Chief Liu was willing to fight to the death, even if it meant taking a few people down with her. However, she lacked confidence in escaping, and judging from what these people were saying, they didn't seem to intend to exterminate them. Should she surrender?
In truth, Chief Liu didn't know what her fate would be, but if the imperial court was willing to spare the people in the village, she would even be willing to take her life.
Just as Chief Liu was about to speak, he heard the warehouse door open. Upon seeing Boss Wang, the people of Liu Village began to hurl insults at him fiercely.
As if he hadn't heard, Boss Wang walked up to Sun Qiao and said, "Guard Sun, look... this is the chief of Liu Family Village, and the others are also people in charge."
The identities of everyone in Liujiazhai were completely exposed by Boss Wang.
Sun Qiao nodded, ignoring Boss Wang, and made sure the men were no longer a threat before whispering a few instructions to his subordinates. The man immediately ran out.
Chief Liu asked, "What exactly do you want to do!"
But no one answered her.
Not long after, they heard footsteps outside. When Chief Liu looked over, he saw a girl dressed in red with pure white rabbit fur trim leading a group of people over.
The girl only reached Sun Qiao's shoulder, and was not even as tall as the two maids behind her, but when she walked at the front, she had the strongest presence among everyone.
Yan Shujin carried a hand warmer and only took off her hood after entering.
Sun Qiao bowed and said, "Princess."
Mr. Wang quickly bowed as well.
In all the years that Chief Liu had dealt with Boss Wang, this was the first time he had ever seen Boss Wang act so obsequiously.
Yan Shujin nodded and looked at Chief Liu: "Did you kidnap a very handsome man?"
When Chief Liu and Princess Yongfu asked what they wanted to ask, they were stunned when they heard what he said. "A very handsome man?"
Not only Chief Liu, but everyone else thought of Han Jing.
Everyone immediately turned to look at Chief Liu.
Yan Shujin narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems we're in Liu Family Village."
Chief Liu said, "Are you looking for Han Jing? We didn't kidnap him; we rescued him from the barbarians."
Yan Shujin ignored Chief Liu's words and said, "Are you going to hand him over yourselves, or do you want me to lead my troops to wipe out your stronghold and find him?"
Both choices involve different processes but lead to the same result.
Chief Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Release us, and I'll give you Han Jing."
Yan Shujin stared at Chief Liu and said coldly, "It is indeed mine, it was originally mine."
Chief Liu thought of Han Jing's fiancée. Could it be that his fiancée was Princess Yongfu? But didn't he say that he was the son of a wealthy merchant? How could the son of a wealthy merchant be related to a princess?
Yan Shujin said, "If Han Jing is injured by even a single hair, your entire village will compensate him with a life."
Unreasonable.
But Yan Shujin has the qualifications; Chief Liu and Princess Yongfu are simply incomparable.
Chief Liu felt somewhat fortunate that the villagers hadn't hurt Han Jing. Although they wouldn't let Han Jing leave, they hadn't neglected him either, and hadn't even made him do any rough or tiring work. Moreover, based on her observations over this period, Han Jing wasn't an ungrateful person. With Han Jing around, he might even be able to help the village get some benefits.
But what will happen to the village in the future?
Should we take this opportunity to go down the mountain and surrender?
Chief Liu was still pondering when one of the men who had come with him couldn't help but say, "We saved Han Jing and even treated his injuries. Without the people from the village, he would have died long ago. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
These people had obviously guessed the relationship between Princess Yongfu and Han Jing, which gave them confidence.
"Yes, if it weren't for us, he would have died long ago."
"We even gave him ginseng for such a serious injury."
"You won't even see his body. He fell into the hands of those barbarians. You expect him to have a whole corpse?"
When Chief Liu saw Yan Shujin's expression change upon hearing the word "corpse," he felt a chill and said, "Alright!"
She wanted to stop the people in the village from speaking, but at this moment, everyone had been captured and were filled with fear. Seeing a glimmer of hope, they couldn't care less about anything else and rushed to speak, wanting Princess Yongfu to know about their achievements.
Yan Shujin quietly watched the people talking. Under her gaze, their voices gradually grew softer and softer, and they became increasingly uneasy.
The author has something to say: Everyone really needs to take care to keep warm.
I've seen many people asking about dried meat. I bought mine from a physical store in Xiamen called Xiangmantang. I asked around, and they said I could order via WeChat.
Do you need a WeChat account?
I think their original-flavor pork jerky is pretty good.
There will be another chapter later. It's currently being revised.
