Chapter 126: My Mountain Village Shelters Everyone

tle, novel fragrance burst forth on her palate.Li Yuxiang was startled.Different positions bring completely different perspectives to problems. She sees things far more deeply than anyone else.This it...The bedroom is at the back of the house.

Liu Qiaoyun clenched a pair of scissors tightly in both hands, huddled in the corner of the bed, her whole body trembling with fear, but a pair of bright peach blossom eyes stared fixedly at the two guards who looked hostile towards her.

Though she was still facing off with the other party, Liu Qiaoyun's heart had already turned to ashes.

She knew all too well the current state of affairs at home, that she couldn't possibly stop these bandits. As a woman, she was certain to be overpowered and ultimately defiled…

Rather than suffer defeat, she would rather die!

"Don't come any closer!"

"Come closer, come closer or I die!"

Liu Qiao Yun waved the scissors twice, but in the end, she pointed them at her own neck.

Those hands, completely devoid of color, trembled so violently. Coupled with her readiness to die, the tip of the scissors had already drawn a bloodstain on her neck, yet she remained oblivious.

The two guards frowned slightly, but their faces were etched with a cruel glint.

One person, who didn't care about Liu Qiyun's life or death at all, suddenly rushed up and snatched the scissors from Liu Qiyun's hand.

"Honey, you're going to die today!"

But before we die, humph, let's have some fun, brothers!

Having said that, the two men rushed forward and began tearing at Liu Qiaoyun's clothes.

Liu Qiao Yun's mind went blank.

Two lines of tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Her body, still weak from its recent injuries, only struggled for a moment before giving up hope and closing her eyes, biting down on her tongue with all her might.

She had once heard a scholar in the county town speak of "biting one's tongue."

However, the intense pain that followed her bite prevented her from taking another.

Even in death...

Liu Qiao Yun's heart was filled with sadness, and she cried out in despair.

However, as she cried and cried, she suddenly felt that the two bad men had stopped pulling at her clothes

She opened her eyes and then she saw Yang Lin.

Liu Qiao Yun stared blankly at the face that had haunted her dreams, shifting from utter despair to boundless joy in the blink of an eye.

"Am I dreaming"

"Could it be that I'm dead Would the afterlife show me what I desire most"

Liu Qiao Yun couldn't quite believe that Yang Lin had actually appeared before her.

"Qiao Yun! Qiao Yun! Are you alright"

"..."

"Oh! You silly fool, why are you biting your tongue just like someone else!"

He hugged Liu Qiao Yun tightly, holding her close in his arms.

"You... you're here, that's wonderful!"

Liu Qiao Yun mumbled.

Just now she bit too hard, so that her tongue was bitten in two places and bled.

She held onto Yang Lin tightly, afraid to let go for fear that if she did, he would disappear.

Only then did she realize that the two bullies who had tormented her were already dead!

One had an arrow piercing through its neck, the other a long sword stuck in its chest!

All of this is true!

Thinking of this, Liu Qiaoyun hurriedly said: "Mother! Save my mother!"

She pleaded with Yang Lin.

"Hm! Wait here for a bit!"

Liu Qianyun was fine here, but the fighting ahead was still unknown. Thus, Yang Lin couldn't afford to be affectionate right now. After giving a brief instruction, he nocked another arrow and ran back to the front hall.

Back in the living room, Yang Lin was stunned once again.

He was fully prepared for battle, but what he didn't expect was that the fight here had already ended. Liu Chong was pinned to the ground by the guards, while the rest of them crouched in the corners.

Is there not a single living person here

Yang Lin was a little surprised.

"Master, " Qin Shuang hurried over to explain, "We caught this old man. He was afraid of death, so he surrendered."

I see.

Yang Lin also let out a breath of relief.

At this moment, Kong Liang, who had gone to summon people, also returned, bringing dozens of men with him. Accompanied by earth-shaking shouts and the clash of weapons, they charged in from outside.

"Master, are you all right"

There were members of the guard unit, but mostly villagers who worked odd jobs. When they heard that Yang Lin was in trouble, they all rushed over immediately.

At that moment, the whole hall was completely surrounded by water.

"Well done, everyone! The situation is under control! Round up all these criminals."

Liu Zhangshi and Liu Liang have been rescued, but at this moment they are cowering beside each other, not daring to breathe.

Liu Chong was being pressed to the ground. He had even tried to take advantage of the situation to resist and escape, but when he saw so many more people rushing over, he was utterly hopeless!

"Yang Lin, Yang Lin! Old man is not a thief, I am the head of the Liu family in Juncheng, Liu Chong! This is a misunderstanding, you quickly let me go!"

"Yang Lin, I know I was wrong, but as the saying goes, 'one doesn't know each other until they fight'. We have no past grievances and no current feuds, so there's no need to fight to the death. Just let me go, and I'll take you with me to make money!"

"You're a smart person, being stuck up in these mountains is a waste of your talent. If we just work together, I can help you make a lot, lots of money!"

"Believe me, really, believe me!"

Liu Chong shouted desperately.

Man is motivated by wealth and birds are driven by food. No one dislikes money, but he doesn't believe that Yang Lin would be swayed by material gain!

However, Yang Lin ignored him completely and instead directed the guard to begin cleanup.

Liu Chong still wanted to speak, but Yang Lin directly said: "Shut up, find a piece of cloth and stuff his mouth."

Then Liu Chong's mouth was tightly sealed, and he could only make whimpering sounds.

"Master, what should we do with these people" Qin Shuang asked.

"Kill them all."

Yang Lin spoke softly.

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

When Liu Chong heard this, he became even more furious and struggled desperately, tears streaming down his face.

His subordinates were also struggling, but they had been tightly bound by the guard unit. No matter how hard they struggled, it was useless.

"This... isn't a little..."

Qin Shuang asked worriedly.

"A bit too harsh" Yang Lin nodded. "Indeed, but now is a busy time, we must let those who harbor ill intentions know what the consequences are for messing with us!"

"Tell them it was my order. I'll take the blame for this."

He who is kind is often exploited, and he who is strong is often ridden.

To avoid future trouble, Yang Lin didn't mind playing the bad guy.

Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Qin Shuang although still felt it was too ruthless, she didn't hesitate and immediately nodded.

His squad, too, were all battle-hardened killers who had seen blood. To them, killing some bandits was nothing to fear.

"After killing them, hang their bodies by the roadside outside the village!"

I want everyone to know that my village is not a place they can bully at will!

From now on, as long as someone is from Kaoshanyan Village, no matter which family or household they belong to, they will no longer be bullied and will be protected by Kaoshanyan Village!

Hearing this, the villagers felt their blood boil with excitement.

Now even if Yang Lin asked them to pull the emperor off his horse, they would do it without hesitation!

Just then, Liu Liang in the corner suddenly burst into tears... from them, saw their fierce attire, did they realize something was amiss. Fear and unease crept onto their faces.The second-in-command rode his horse, cracking his whip with a "crack!" and stammered,...
