After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

That girl is the daughter of the Zheng family. The Zheng family would not allow such a thing to happen, so there should be someone following her.

Yun Yi looked at his companions: "Let's go."

The area outside the city was indeed desolate due to the bandits coming down from the mountains, and the lack of people in broad daylight made people feel uneasy.

Yan Yun followed the girl's retreating figure, but he also felt uneasy. This unease stemmed from his inability to protect himself. Although the dagger could provide a sense of security, his own body could not.

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, Yan Yun stopped.

She still felt that continuing to pursue it was too dangerous.

If that girl wants to leave, there's no way I can keep her; I won't chase after someone who wants to leave.

She was about to turn back.

The girl behind him suddenly ran back.

Yan Yun thought she had figured it out, but the sound of horses' hooves that followed meant that others were chasing after them.

That girl wasn't heartless; when she saw Yan Yun standing there, she panicked and shouted, "Run!"

Before Yan Yun could react, the person on horseback was right in front of him.

What you say is just bad luck, and it happens.

The men on horseback were all burly, strong men, and the axes they held still had traces of blood on them.

"Go and capture that girl."

The moment Yan Yun and the man on horseback locked eyes, the man raised his axe to strike.

Yan Yun never expected that they would make such a sudden move.

I instinctively squatted down.

"We need a girl to tend the fire on the mountain. Let's take this girl back with us."

The scene of being cleaved in two as imagined did not occur. Yan Yun looked up and saw another person riding over on horseback scoop him up and throw him onto the horse's back.

The girl who tried to escape didn't get away successfully and was caught on another horse.

She is still struggling.

"Let me go! I need to find someone! Let me go!"

Unfortunately, these people weren't obedient; they thought the girl was being noisy and threw a punch at her.

When Yan Yun saw the girl punch him in the face, his expression changed instantly, and he fell silent.

Because she had been captured before, Yan Yun knew she couldn't resist this time. Rather than suffer physical pain, she decided to wait patiently for another opportunity to escape.

Four or five bandits gathered together.

"We've only caught two girls today. Should we still go into town?"

"We won't gain anything by going. Let's go back first and then choose a day to go down the mountain."

Yan Yun glanced at the girl who looked anxious. She was really unlucky; the girl was still struggling to get off the horse.

"Let me go."

Her response was another fist landing on her face.

It's a shame about that face; if it gets beaten a few more times, it'll really turn into a pig's head.

Yan Yun did not resist, so he did not suffer much; he was simply taken back to the mountain.

Although the village halfway up the mountain was simple, its notorious reputation was enough to make people avoid it.

"This girl went with you to start the fire."

Yan Yun was thrown off the horse, while the other maid was taken inside.

Yan Yun lay on the ground, watching them go inside.

The girl turned around and glanced at Yan Yun. She knew that Yan Yun couldn't save her, and her expression became even more desperate.

Yan Yun didn't think he could rescue the person from these bandits; that was impossible.

She got up from the ground and was led to the woodshed. The woman inside saw her and began to instruct her on what to do.

They did everything from gathering firewood to starting a fire.

Yan Yun had no chance to extricate himself.

Moreover, the woman guarding Yan Yun had no sympathy for him. Anyone who could work had to work, and if they were lazy, they shouldn't blame them for taking action.

Yan Yuncai was a step too slow and almost got hit on the back by the stick in the woman's hand.

She quickly moved aside.

The woman spoke up: "Hurry up and boil water. The young master is getting married tonight, and there isn't enough hot water."

Bandits? A wedding? Yan Yun felt he had come at the wrong time, but he could only continue adding firewood, the flames crackling and popping.

The passerby asked the woman, "Who is the young master going to marry?"

The woman dismissed it: "Isn't that the girl we just caught? They say she's pretty, and the young master took a liking to her at first sight."

Yan Yun immediately looked towards the door; that girl's face was bound to cause trouble.

The woman said somewhat gossipy, "Really? There are indeed very few women who can make the young master's heart flutter."

"No."

The two were still chatting and laughing.

Yan Yun was already looking around the stronghold through the open door. She looked down at the firewood in her hand, wondering if a fire could burn the whole place down.

There's dry grass all around here; it would be very convenient if a gust of wind came along.

Yan Yun thought of throwing the tree branch into the stove.

Because the young master decided to marry that woman, the mountain stronghold immediately became lively, and the bandits relaxed a lot.

The woman who had been watching Yan Yun went to find something to eat on her own.

Yan Yun looked at the flames inside the stove and took out the one that was burning the most fiercely.

She looked at the firewood that was still dripping oil; she had just found an opportunity to throw it in, all for this moment.

Then the flames shot up.

Yan Yun immediately ran towards the door.

The bandits were having a good time drinking because of the excitement. When Yan Yun saw the wine jars on the ground, he kicked them over, thinking it would be even better if the wine spilled all over the ground.

She saw a large red cloth tied to a dilapidated door. Although it was dark, the fact that it was hanging there suggested that this was the young master's room.

Could that girl be inside?

Just as I was thinking this, someone came over from the other side.

"Since we're in a good mood, let's drink more."

With no one to block the view on either side, Yan Yun quickly pushed the door open and went inside. Luckily, there was no one else in the room.

Only the girl tied to the bed.

Yan Yun rushed forward, but before he could untie her, the person outside pushed the door open and came in.

Yan Yun crawled directly under the bed.

Inside the room, several people were talking very loudly, saying things like "Congratulations."

Yan Yun didn't dare to breathe loudly. If he were discovered, it wouldn't be surprising if he died here.

He risked his life to save her.

After the man and the others had a few drinks, his mind was completely on the girl in bed. From the first moment he saw her, he felt that she was the one he liked.

He felt a burning desire to get all his men away as soon as possible.

He threw down the wine bowl he was holding: "Alright, you guys should go out and have a drink too."

Several people laughed at him.

"Young Master is in a hurry."

It's no wonder he's anxious.

He wasn't annoyed that his thoughts had been exposed; he was just glad that the person knew. "Alright, get out of here now."

The group exchanged smiles.

"Then I won't disturb the young master's romantic evening."

After saying that, he was about to go out.

As soon as the door closed, the young master went to the person on the bed. He reached out and pinched her little face, which was a little bruised, but still pretty.

"If you follow me, you'll eat well, dress well, and have everything you need."

He pulled the gag off her mouth and was about to kiss her.

The girl had no interest in these things and glared at the man in front of her through gritted teeth: "You'd better let me go, or you'll die a horrible death."

It's always intriguing when a beautiful woman makes such a threatening statement.

"You should just behave and listen to me."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the girl, and because his hand movements were insufficient, he pressed down on her instead.

The girl was finally frightened enough to scream.

"No, let me go! Help, help..."

Yan Yun listened from under the bed. They stole someone else's woman and then said they'd treat her well in the future? These people are no good at all.

She drew the dagger she always carried. It would be useless to kill someone openly, but she could kill them quietly.

Yan Yun crawled out from under the bed.

Because the person on the bed was struggling, they didn't notice that someone had suddenly appeared in the room.

Yan Yun raised the dagger and stabbed it directly into the back of the person in front of him.

The screams of pain immediately echoed throughout the entire room.

"what!"

"who is it!"

The roar made Yan Yun realize that he hadn't hit a vital spot; if he had, the man would have fallen.

The young master touched the spot where he had been stabbed, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Yun standing there, still holding the dagger that had stabbed him.

"Where did you come from?"
