Ding Guanglie swallowed and softened his tone.
"Girl, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Your father and my father are colleagues. There's no need to make it so life-and-death, right..."
"Everything can be discussed. If you have any requests, just ask..."
Seeing Lin Yiran not saying anything, Ding Guanglie's heart skipped a beat and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
When had he ever spoken in such a humble tone?
Ding Guanglie smiled and patted the horse beside him.
"I see that the young lady is a horse lover, so I'm giving her this horse as an apology for any offense I've caused."
"If you think it's not enough, wait... wait until I get back and I'll send you a few more horses. Is that okay with you?"
Lin Yiran looked at Ding Guanglie coldly.
Don't think she didn't see the murderous look that flashed across Ding Guanglie's eyes.
What a coincidence, she didn't plan to let these people go back alive.
Lin Yiran curled the corners of her lips, without saying a word, she swung the whip and lashed at Ding Guanglie.
The "crackling" sound accompanied by Ding Guanglie's screams scared the several followers who were wailing on the ground so much that they dared not make a sound.
After being whipped three times, Ding Guanglie felt like he was dying.
He bit his back teeth, lay on the ground twitching all over, and pretended to faint.
Ahhhhhh
Bitch, don't let him find a chance. He will make her know what it means to be unable to live or die.
After seeing all six people faint, Lin Yiran jumped off the horse and picked up the sword that Ding Guanglie had dropped on the ground.
She walked up to the unconscious people and cut their throats one by one.
She didn't need these troubles to lead the way, and she would not let go of any horse in Shiquan City.
She also remembered the Ding Mansion and would not leave a single piece of wood behind.
So these evils should be eliminated directly, otherwise they will be a trouble in the future.
Killing bad guys is something that comes easily after a second try. As long as she thinks about how these evildoers will kill more people if they are alive, she feels no burden when she kills them.
Ding Guanglie pretended to be unconscious and thought he could escape the disaster, but when he opened his eyes again, they were full of shock and he died with his eyes wide open.
"Heroine, spare my life!"
The girl who witnessed all this looked at the bloody sword in Lin Yiran's hand with horror, and fell to her knees.
Lin Yiran glanced at the girl calmly and said, "Go away."
"Thank you, lady, for saving my life!"
The girl kowtowed to thank Lin Yiran. She raised her head, bit her lip, and looked at Lin Yiran with a firm gaze.
"Please take me in, my lady. I am willing to be your maid."
She is now completely homeless. The villagers have fled or left, and there are not many people left.
Going back to the village would only lead to humiliation and death...
In order to save food, her family fled the famine with their younger brother and left her behind, leaving her homeless.
If the city gates had not been closed to prevent refugees from entering, she would have been sold by her parents by now.
Lin Yiran narrowed her eyes slightly, "What's your name?"
The girl was silent for a moment, pursed her lips,
"Please ask the lady to give the maid a name."
Girls in the village were sold to wealthy families as maids, and their names were given by their masters.
She heard all this from the villagers, and that the master of the house gave you a name as a sign of recognition.
Lin Yiran looked at the girl in surprise. It seemed that she was another person with a story.
"Can you read?"
"Maidens can learn."
"......" Lin Yiran thought for a moment, "From now on, you will be called Shang Lu."
The girl's face lit up with joy, and she kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Lady Shanglu, for the name."
Lin Yiran jumped back onto the horse.
"Call me General Long."
"Yes, General Long!"
Shang Lu didn't even blink and changed his words without asking why Lin Yiran called himself General Long.
Lin Yiran's eyes lit up slightly, and she was very satisfied with Shang Lu's performance.
This girl has the talent of a personal secretary. She doesn't ask questions that she shouldn't ask, and she's not curious. She just does what her boss asks.
She and Xiao Yunzhan discussed it and decided that calling her "fairy" was not powerful enough, so they each gave themselves a domineering general's name.
She is General Dragon, Xiao Yunzhan is General Tiger, Old Madam Xiao is General Tiance, the eldest sister-in-law is General Chongtian, the second sister-in-law is General Tiexue, and the third sister-in-law is General Weiwu.
Originally, the family insisted on making Lin Yiran the General of Tiance, saying that this title meant he was the best among all military commanders in the world, and that Lin Yiran was the most suitable because he had the greatest strength.
No one in Daliang State has ever been named the General of Tiance.
Lin Yiran said directly that Old Madam Xiao is the cohesive force of the Xiao family. An elder in the family is like a treasure, and General Tiance must be Old Madam Xiao.
She doesn't care about these titles. If she really wants to do it, she would just be the empress, which would be much better and more domineering.
Lin Yiran looked back in the direction of the main force, which was less than 500 meters away from her.
She could see farther away while sitting on horseback, but Shang Lu could not see the main force while kneeling on the ground.
"Can you ride a horse?"
Lin Yiran glanced at the horses and her eyes fell on Shang Lu.
Shang Lu shook his head and said, "No, I will learn it now."
As he spoke, Shang Lu got up from the ground, picked a skinny horse, and imitated the way the others had mounted their horses, gritting his teeth and climbing onto the horse's back.
I have to say that the horse Shang Lu chose was really honest. No matter how she tossed it, it stood there as still as a mountain.
After a few attempts, Shanglu finally climbed onto the horse's back.
She gripped the saddle tightly with both hands, sat stiffly on the horse's back, and looked up at Lin Yiran.
Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows and smiled, then raised the reins in her hand.
"Hold the reins."
Shang Lu immediately let go of the saddle, grabbed the reins in his hand, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da da da~"
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Xiao Yunzhan rode his horse and galloped to Lin Yiran's side.
Seeing several corpses on the ground, he looked at Lin Yiran nervously.
"Did they hurt you?"
Lin Yiran sneered, "How can they hurt me?"
"That's good."
Xiao Yunzhan let out a long sigh, jumped off his horse, dragged the bodies and threw them into the ditch.
He knew at a glance that Lin Yiran had killed these people in order to save the girl.
He may not understand others, but he knows Lin Yiran, and she is not the kind of person who would kill innocent people.
These people are definitely not good people.
Lin Yiran looked at Ding Guanglie's horse and said to Xiao Yunzhan,
"We have to hurry to Shiquan City. The man who died was the son of Magistrate Ding of Shiquan City. From what he said, it seems his father was corrupt. The people of Shiquan City are having a hard time. Let's go over and reap the rewards..."
Xiao Yunzhan listened to Lin Yiran's blunt words, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"Okay, after two days of training, it's time to speed up."
They really can't walk so slowly. If they are caught up by the imperial guards, it will be difficult to save these soldiers who have been reorganized with great difficulty.
