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

"What a coincidence! I meet you here again." Lin Yinan laughed coldly.

Yu Xunmei stroked the hair at her temples and walked forward with her waist twisted.

The guard hurriedly reached out to stop her, "Miss, there are a lot of people on the other side, be careful of fraud!"

"It's okay. City Lord Lin and I are old acquaintances. I'll go and catch up with her."

Yu Xunmei pulled away the guard's hand and smiled brightly at Lin Yinan.

"Miss Yu, are you here to snatch my people again?" Lin Yinan looked back with a smile.

Yu Xunmei pretended to glance at the secret guards behind Lin Yinan, and finally rolled her eyes with a very disdainful tone.

"They are all dressed in black, just like crows. It's really disappointing to look at them!"

Lin Yinan was surprised, "You didn't see anyone you liked? You are so picky!"

"The one next to you looks good." Yu Xunmei pointed at Yun Mo with a provocative look in her eyes.

"No way, this is my man!"

Yun Mo's body trembled when he heard this, and he straightened his body a little bit quietly, his expression still indifferent.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yu Xunmei's face.

"Since you are reluctant, let's settle all the old and new accounts. If you follow me back to Nanzhou Prefecture, I will give you some face. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"What? Do you want to fight if you can't win?"

Lin Yinan still looked calm and composed, but this made Yu Xunmei very angry.

She said to the leader of the guards, "Go ahead and capture that woman over there. You will be rewarded handsomely!"

Dozens of guards drew their swords and rushed towards Lin Yinan and the others.

Yun Mo pointed his toes, and the long sword in his hand turned into a silver light, slashing towards the opponent's vitals. The guard hurriedly raised his knife to block. Yun Mo's strength was several times that of him. The guard had difficulty blocking the attack, but he took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.

Yun Mo turned his wrist slightly and swept the tip of the sword downwards.

The guard felt something scratching his abdomen, and saw blood dripping from Yun Mo's sword. He looked down and saw a big cut in his stomach, and the colorful intestines slipped out.

"Ah! Ah!" the guard screamed in pain.

The guard's legs went limp and he fell to the ground. The sword in his hand fell helplessly. He spread his hands and wanted to stuff the intestines back in, but he didn't know where to start.

The other secret guards rushed forward at the same time and started fighting with the opponent's guards.

Qianxia took out the bow and arrow, Lin Yinan took it, put the arrow on the string, and aimed at Yu Xunmei who was hiding behind.

The arrow that gathers all the strength of the body is ready to be launched.

Yu Xunmei's heart skipped a beat when she saw Lin Yinan aiming the arrow at her. The moment the arrow left the string, she ducked and quickly hid behind the guards.

In the blink of an eye, the guard who was standing in front of him fell down in front of him with an arrow stuck in his head.

The close encounter with death frightened Yu Xunmei so much that she dared not show her face again.

The leader of the guards pulled her to hide behind a big rock. Before they set off, General Yu warned her to protect her.

When the fight was halfway through and the outcome was still unclear, two horse-drawn carriages drove up on the official road not far away, and a team of men in black were protecting the carriages.

Yun Shiyi, who was always protecting Lin Yinan, said in a deep voice, "Madam, the carriage that kidnapped the old lady and the young lady has arrived."

Lin Yinan narrowed his eyes and saw two men in black sitting on the carriages of the two carriages, and there were dozens of other men in black protecting them.

As the carriage approached, the fighting between the two sides gradually stopped.

"Miss, our people are back!"

The leader of the guards stuck his head out and took a look, and saw several of his men at a glance.

Yu Xunmei suddenly stood out from behind the boulder upon hearing this, "God is really helping me!"

She looked at Lin Yinan who was worried across from her, and stroked the hair on her forehead leisurely. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with sinister and fierceness.

"City Lord Lin, I heard that you gave birth to a delicate and lovely daughter. I wonder if this is the one my men brought with them?"

She said, waving at the killer on the other side of the road.

The killer got into the first carriage and took out a sleeping child.

Afraid that Lin Yinan and the others couldn't see, he stood on the side of the carriage, grabbed Yun Shijiu's collar and lifted her up high.

The child was held like this by him, with his little head still drooping and not awake, and his slightly chubby face looked a little pale.

The little man being held high was none other than Yun Nineteen!

Lin Yinan and Yun Mo's eyes were red with anger. Their hands holding the swords were trembling slightly, and their knuckles turned white from excessive force.

"Young lady!" Yun Shijiu was raised by Qianxia since she was a child, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

The other secret guards gnashed their teeth, moved their bodies slightly, and looked ready to fight to the death with the other side.

"Yu Xunmei, let my daughter go!" Lin Yinan stood with a sword in his hand, his expression cold and his eyes filled with strong murderous intent.

Yu Xunmei said calmly, "My people went through so much trouble to get them out of Longtan. How can you let them go so easily just because you say so?"

"I'll be your hostage."

"City Lord Lin is an excellent martial artist. I dare not take you as a hostage." Yu Xunmei pretended to be afraid and patted his chest.

Yun Mo's face was gloomy, and his eyes swept towards Yu Xunmei fiercely, "What do you want in exchange for letting him go?"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the other people, Yu Xunmei was in a very good mood, and his voice unconsciously became a little lazy.

She said loudly, "No matter what, you can return the Xihe Iron Mine you occupied, as well as the output from the days you occupied it, and the salt field. What do you think? Do you think your family is worth these things?"

Finally, she pointed at Lin Yinan and said, "Also, cut the tendons of her hands and feet for me, so that I can avenge her previous humiliation against me!"

After hearing Yu Xunmei's self-righteous words, Yun Mo's face became even gloomier, "Let the person go first, and we can sit down and have a good talk!"

Yu Xunmei rolled her eyes. "Do you really think I'm a fool who can be fooled? With your temper of starting a fight at the slightest disagreement, I'll release the people and you'll kill us right after."

There was no way to talk about indifference. Looking at Yun Shijiu who was still held high in the air, Lin Yinan's mind was in a whirlwind, thinking about how to save people in order to minimize the losses.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Ye Shangshi came with a group of people from the direction of Shigong City.

"Hey! Miss Yu is here too! It's so lively."

Ye Shang was riding on a tall horse, looking at the child in black clothes being held high on the carriage in the distance with a playful expression.

When she saw Ye Shang, Yu Xunmei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ye Shang, you've come at the right time. Let's work together to take them down, and I'll give you half of the salt field's output in the future." In order to achieve her goal, she made a boast.

After all, they had a brief romance.

Just when she thought Ye Shang would agree, he said, "Miss Yu, our Ye family is also a trustworthy family. We have already agreed to cooperate with City Lord Lin. How can you tear up the alliance without authorization?"

"What Longtan can give to the Ye family, our Yu family can give as well!"
