Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"You bastards, stop stealing my things!"

"Let me go! Don't grab me!"

"Ah! You bastards, I'm going to fight you!"

"Help! Don't kill me!"

"..."

The bandits, who were beaten black and blue, were suddenly frightened by their howls one after another and forgot the pain in their bodies.

Look at that sturdy auntie who was shouting "Don't catch me" so excitedly. The bandit who was beaten into a pig's head shuddered all over. With her appearance, who could catch her?

The village chief was so engrossed in the show that he even forgot to strike the gong in his hand.

The aunt thought the village chief was incompetent, so she snatched the gong and started banging it.

The secret guards were very smart. If the villagers stopped, they would whip them a few more times.

Later, the villagers who came to watch the fun also joined in the fun and cooperated with the performance.

For a moment, howls, screams, and gong sounds came one after another, and the whole forest was very lively.

Yun Mo stumbled and almost fell when he stepped into the city gate.

If the bandits had not been completely dealt with when he left, he would have thought that the camp had been taken over.

Lin Yinan estimated the time and thought that Yun Mo and the others should have arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, so he let everyone disperse.

Yunye's eyes were full of admiration. She was worthy of being the one his third brother liked.

"Ms. Lin is really thoughtful."

"It's mainly thanks to the aunties and uncles in the village who helped. I hope they have a smooth trip." Lin Yinan did not dare to take credit for it and said in a calm voice.

By the time it was light in the sky, Lin Yiheng, Yun Mo and the others had been in the city for four or five hours.

Lin Yinan carried his bow and arrow, said something to Lin Shuo, and then went into the city alone.

At the city gate, secret guards were guarding vigilantly.

Before she got close, the secret guard spotted her, "Come out! Who's there?"

Lin Yinan walked out from the darkness, "It's me!"

The secret guards recognized Lin Yinan and knew that she was very skilled. They bowed to her respectfully and said, "Miss Lin."

"What's the situation?" Lin Yinan was eager to know the situation in the city.

"It's almost over. No one is coming out for the time being."

"I'll go in and take a look." Lin Yinan said and strode towards the city.

One of the secret guards tried to stop him, but another held him back and whispered, "We can't stop Miss Lin because of her temper. It's okay. The master is inside and he's watching over her."

When I stepped into Luochu City again, the doors of the shops on both sides were open, and there was no one inside. Occasionally, there were one or two corpses lying on the ground, probably those who were killed during the resistance.

There was a river of blood in front of the gambling house on one side of the street, and it seemed that the place had been cleaned up.

From time to time, women from brothels fled in panic with their bags on their shoulders. When they saw Lin Yinan standing in the middle of the street wrapped in black cloth, they were terribly frightened.

A woman passing by kindly advised her, "Run away! The city is about to be destroyed!"

Watching the women walking away together, Lin Yinan turned to the slave market on the other side.

It was still as lively as ever here. The traffickers had tied the slaves into a row with ropes and were driving them out with whips.

The slaves saw everything that happened at night, and since they were basically captured, they naturally refused to leave with the traffickers in order to have a chance of survival.

When they saw Lin Yinan coming, they all started crying and shouting.

"Please! Save us!"

"We were all captured, let us go!"

The traffickers stepped forward and whipped them mercilessly, "What are you yelling about? Leave now if you know what's best for you, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

There was panic in the eyes of the human traffickers. They had to leave quickly before the people at the City Lord's Mansion stopped, otherwise they would most likely end up like the people in the gambling house.

Lin Yinan saw through their thoughts at a glance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the mask, he stopped in the middle of the street, stared coldly at the busy human traffickers, and a strong murderous aura slowly condensed in the air.

She saw the two Pingcheng merchants in the middle of the team, but the boy was nowhere to be seen.

"Wan Niang, wake up, how are you?"

A man's urgent voice sounded in the team.

Lin Yinan was slightly stunned; the voice sounded familiar.

Then, the image of the cute little doll that came to my mind was the couple I met on the road.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man carrying the woman on his back, and their baby was missing.

Upon seeing this, the trafficker whipped the two of them hard with a whip, and the woman's hands immediately drooped down.

"Wan Niang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Say something!"

The woman was so thin that her heavy body bent the man's back.

Upon seeing this, the trafficker stepped forward, stretched out his hand and probed the woman's nose, his voice without any emotion.

"Dead, put her down."

The man's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, taking several slaves with him.

The trafficker's whip fell on his head and face, lashing him mercilessly.

"Get up, stop playing dead for me!"

The man remained unmoved and let the whip fall on his body. His back was beaten until the skin was torn and flesh was exposed. He seemed not to feel the pain. He quickly got up and put his hands into the woman's arms to prevent the whip from falling on her, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Lin Yinan felt very sad when he saw this. He flew over lightly and stabbed the human trafficker in the chest with a sword, then quickly pulled out the knife.

The steaming blood splattered all over the man, but he remained unmoved.

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and the slaves trembled with fear and squatted aside.

Seeing this, the other human traffickers drew their knives and rushed forward, determined to fight to the death to find a way out.

Lin Yinan felt a tightness in his chest and drew his knife quickly and fiercely. Soon, only the two brothers from Pingcheng were left among the human traffickers.

"Where is the boy?" she asked coldly.

The two brothers then recognized her as the customer who had been there in the afternoon. One of them said in a trembling voice, "She was sent to the meat market."

Lin Yinan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he swung the sword decisively to cut the tendons of the two men.

Ignoring the two men, she cut the ropes that bound the slaves.

The slaves were stunned and overwhelmed by their sudden freedom.

Lin Yinan shouted loudly, "Get out of here! Anyone who doesn't leave will be killed!"

The slaves were so frightened by what they heard that they woke up and ran away.

When Lin Yinan came to his senses and looked at the man again, there was a knife stuck in his chest. His hand slowly slid off the handle, and blood dripped onto the woman's pale face.

The Pingcheng brothers, whose leg tendons were cut, supported themselves on the ground with their hands and dragged their bodies out with difficulty.

Lin Yinan ignored the two of them and began to pick up weapons on the ground. He also took out several bags of gold and silver from the traffickers' luggage and quietly threw them into the space when no one was around.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise coming from the direction of the city lord's mansion in the northwest corner. It was a bomb.

It seems that things are not going well for Yun Mo.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard footsteps coming from a dark alley, slowly coming towards me.

Lin Yinan paused, turned around and stared at the exit of the alley. The person coming had heavy footsteps and was not a secret guard.

"Who? Who and where?" she shouted.
