He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

Li Huai-ren was shocked by Yan Ju-zhi's disregard for his status.

Could it be that this nobleman from the capital really has a taste for An Wuyang?

Although Li Huai-ren was kicked to the ground, he couldn't help but search for An Wu-yang.

It must be said that although An Wuyang was dressed in coarse cloth and had no makeup on her face, she had a cool and aloof temperament, which was quite charming.

Li Huai-ren subconsciously swallowed, unable to resist lusting after An Wu-yang's body.

But thinking of how terrifying "that person" was, Li Huai-ren quickly banished the thought. It was not worth the risk; his own life was more important.

A glint flashed in Li Huai Ren's eyes, and a sinister scheme crept into his mind.

"Sir, if you like her, I can give her to you!"

"Just let me go..."

"No, you must ensure my safe return to the capital. I promise you, I will wash her clean and bring her to your bed..."

Bang!

Yan Juzhi punched Li Huai Ren on the head.

Blood gushed out in a flash; it was Yang Yanju who had beaten him until his mouth and nose bled.

"Shameless bastard!"

Yan Juzhi punched him a few times, but he was still not satisfied, so he kicked him hard in the face a few more times.

Yan Juzhi only eased his efforts slightly when Li Huai-ren appeared to be on the verge of death.

Yan Juzhi's foot rolled back and forth on Li Huai Ren's face, a scene that shocked the old lady of the Li family so much that she couldn't stop crying.

Even Wang Shi slowly woke up, stared at this scene, and vomited another mouthful of blood.

"I beg you, I beg you, for the sake of how much Grandmother has always cared for you, please plead for Huai Ren!"

The old lady, trembling, was about to kneel down in front of An Wuyang.

An Wuyang quickly turned around, refusing to accept the old lady's kneeling pleas, and coldly replied, "The more you beg, the harder you will be beaten!"

As if to confirm An Wuyang's words, Yan Juzhi punched Li Huai Ren in the abdomen again.

Seeing that Li Huai-ren was on the verge of death, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The old lady and Madam Wang dared not beg for mercy any longer; they could only weep silently, their eyes filled with venomous hatred as they looked at An Wuyang.

Even Rean huddled in the old lady's arms, trembling. His once innocent eyes now held a sinister malice as if tainted with poison.

Because of the beating of Li Huai Ren, everyone was shocked by Yan Juzhi's methods, so the scene was very quiet.

Yan Juzhi cleared his throat and took the opportunity to say to the crowd, "I am a close minister of the Emperor, and I have been ordered to come to Ning County to capture the remaining members of the Python King's gang."

He spoke with a dashing and debonair air, and under the moonlight, he appeared even more imposing and spirited.

The slanderous remarks made by Li Huai-ren earlier have naturally fallen apart on their own.

Some even cursed, "These people surnamed Li are corrupt themselves, yet they try to smear Madam An. Now they've really crossed the line!"

Yan Juzhi was very satisfied with everyone's understanding and couldn't help but smile and give An Wuyang a wink.

An Wuyang felt as if he had been burned, and quickly pretended not to see it.

Then Yan Juzhi said slowly, "Tonight, Wang Mang's remnants have already surrounded Ning County, and it is said that they will attack the city at dawn!"

One sentence caused an uproar.

They all knew how ruthless the remnants of the Python King's gang were. Anyone unlucky enough to run into them would either die or have their entire family wiped out; in short, their methods were extremely cruel.

An Wuyang also gasped. She had thought the Python King would make a move tonight, but she never expected it to be so fast.

Are they going to attack the city tomorrow? That means she and Yan Juzhi only have one night to stabilize the situation, otherwise, if the remnants of the Python King launch a strong attack tomorrow, Ning County might not be able to withstand it.

Is the tragedy of the past life destined to repeat itself?

No! Absolutely not!

She had already made some arrangements with Yan Juzhi in private, and she believed that Yan Juzhi was fully prepared!

Yan Juzhi remained calm, even smiling slightly, and said in a relaxed and unhurried manner: "To ensure everyone's safety, please return to your homes. We will deal with the remaining members of the Python King's gang tomorrow, and then you can come out of your homes."

A few simple words, seemingly without effort, seemed to possess boundless power, soothing the anxious and fearful hearts of the crowd.

"Guards, disperse the residents!"

When Yan Ju gave the order, everyone realized that Yan Ju had actually brought the city lord's troops with him.

A childish voice rang out from the crowd: "No! I don't want to go back, I won't hide! I want to defend my country, I will fight to the death to protect my homeland!"
