The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

When they were stopped again, the faces of Yu San Niang and her group were extremely grim.

"Sir, are you going to let us through or not?" She turned to look at Yun Shang with an annoyance.

But they found that the man, as aloof as a snow-capped mountain, had his head down and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the bearded man.

Yu San Niang was immediately startled and stepped forward to block his view.

"Sir, is there any other question?"

Yun Shang pointed to the boxes on the cart behind the bearded man, "Open those boxes and check them."

Yu San Niang's hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly. "Sir, those boxes are all valuable goods. We sealed them with wax. If they get damp easily, they won't fetch a good price."

"I hope you gentlemen will consider the hardships we businessmen face and not make things difficult for us, okay?"

Yu San Niang spoke with a pitiful expression.

The others were somewhat soft-hearted, but Yun Shang felt increasingly uneasy.

His eyes were icy as he coldly looked at Yu San Niang, who was pleading with him. "Open the box."

The bearded man looked nervously at Yu San Niang and shook his head at her.

Yu San Niang was extremely anxious and racked her brains to find a reason.

Just then, everyone clearly heard a muffled "thump" coming from the box.

Yu San Niang and the bearded man's expressions changed drastically.

A fierce glint flashed in Yun Shang's eyes as he ordered the surrounding soldiers, "They're suspicious. Detain them all!"

County Commandant Cheng had no doubt about Yun Shang's judgment and shouted, "Not a single one can be let go!"

Unexpected changes were imminent. Seeing that things had come to this point, Yu San Niang and the bearded man stopped trying to hide anything and quickly drew their soft swords from under the cart to fight the soldiers.

Yun Shang ran towards the carriage where Yu Wan was.

Seeing that he was unarmed, County Magistrate Cheng called out to him, "Young Master Yun, take this sword—"

Yun Shang turned his head and firmly grasped the sword that County Magistrate Cheng had thrown to him.

Although he had never formally studied martial arts, due to his weak physique, the Shen family hired many experienced masters to teach him health-preserving and breathing techniques.

These movement techniques share some similarities with martial arts.

Yu Wan heard the sounds of fighting outside the box and pounded on it even harder.

She suddenly heard a "click," as if something had been cut.

Before Yu Wan could figure out what the sound was, a beam of light suddenly poured in.

Having been in darkness for a long time, Yu Wan subconsciously closed her eyes.

When her eyes adjusted to the light and she opened them, she saw a familiar face.

A tear rolled down her cheek. Yu Wan quickly wiped it away, scrambled up, and threw herself into his arms. "I thought you couldn't find me..."

Yun Shang placed his hand on her back and patted her reassuringly, "It's okay."

He will definitely find her.

Seeing that Yun Shang had rescued Yu Wan, County Magistrate Cheng shouted to him, "Young Master Yun, I have already arranged a carriage. You can go now!"

Yun Shang nodded, picked Yu Wan up in his arms, and carried her toward the carriage not far away.

He moved with extreme care, as if he were holding a priceless treasure that had been lost and found again.

On the other side, Yu San Niang and her group gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Yu San Niang had been slashed several times, her clothes and face covered in mottled blood. She dodged a soldier's knife and glared resentfully in the direction Yun Shang had left.

That damn bitch! She never imagined she'd fall for a woman who looked so helpless.

Since she can't survive, the person who put her in this situation shouldn't live either!

A flash of resentment crossed Yu San Niang's eyes. The next instant, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing a delicate crossbow bolt on her elbow, and fired it at Yun Shang's back.

County Magistrate Cheng's expression tightened, and he shouted anxiously, "Young Master Yun, be careful!"

In a flash, Yun Shang quickly dodged to the side, the crossbow bolt grazing his arm, and bright red blood instantly seeped onto his plain white clothes.

Yu Wan's face turned pale instantly, and she exclaimed in alarm, "You're injured!"

Yun Shang frowned slightly, holding Yu Wan firmly in his arms, and whispered, "I'm fine, don't worry."

How could Yu Wan not be worried?

She couldn't see Yun Shang's wounds, but she could smell the increasingly strong stench of blood.

Yun Shang stepped onto the carriage.

Seeing that Yun Shang had not been fatally wounded, County Magistrate Cheng felt relieved and immediately raised his sword to focus on slashing at Yu San Niang. "You dare to resist even when you're about to die?! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?!"

"I will repeat myself: disarm and you will not be killed; if you continue to resist, you will be killed on the spot—"

Yu San Niang spat, "You think you can kill me so easily? Not so easy!"

The bearded man and the others hesitated.

They do this kind of thing to make money, but if they lose their lives, they lose everything.

Gradually, the bearded men and others surrendered one after another, but Yu San Niang refused to surrender. Only when several knives were held to her neck at the same time did Yu San Niang dejectedly let go of the knives in her hand.

County Magistrate Cheng's gaze was cold and stern as he ordered his men to open all the tea chests.

Upon discovering the seemingly lifeless girls lying beneath the hidden compartment of the tea box, he kicked Yu San Niang hard.

"You beasts!"

……

Meanwhile, the carriage sped towards Huicheng County.

Fortunately, it only took half an hour to reach Huicheng County by official road. The guards driving the carriage spurred their horses and arrived in Huicheng County in less than half an hour.

Yun Shang did not tell Shen about Yu Wan's disappearance, but to avoid any accidents, he secretly told Old Man Feng.

At this moment, Old Man Feng was already waiting at Min'an Hall. Hearing the commotion at the door, Old Man Feng didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran barefoot to the door.

He thought the first person he would see would be Yun Shang, but to his surprise, the person who lifted the carriage curtain was Yu Wan.

Yu Wan's voice trembled with anxiety, "Elder Feng, Yun Shang has been shot by an arrow, and the arrow was smeared with poison..."

When Old Man Feng saw that Yu Wan's face was pale, he was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted. "Don't panic, don't panic, let me take a look."

Old Master Feng called over two young apprentices to help Yun Shang inside. Just as he was about to turn to Yu Wan, he saw her limply collapse to the ground—

Despite his old bones, Old Feng managed to run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and caught Yu Wan just as she hit the ground face down.

He took Yu Wan's pulse and said, "It's alright, it's just that she fainted due to anger and excessive mental stress."

"Come on, help her inside too."

Old Master Feng beckoned to the young medicine boy.

After settling the couple into their hospital beds, Old Feng looked at the scene and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It hasn't been that long, and you two are lying together again."

After bandaging Yu Wan's abrasions, Elder Feng turned to check on Yun Shang.

Yun Shang was wounded on his arm, and his clothes and the wound still contained congealed black blood.

Old Feng frowned and glared disapprovingly at the unconscious man. "You're lucky, kid. I happen to know about this poison. If I hadn't run into you, you would have lost your life here."

After giving Yunshang the antidote, Elder Feng was also exhausted.

He sighed again.

"Look at the two of you, it hasn't even been two months and you've already caused me so much trouble."

"Even the best foundation can't withstand this kind of abuse."
