endless praise.The villagers who hadn't tasted it were all looking on with envy, their mouths watering."Yang Lin, will you sell these a thousand for this price""Yeah, yeah, we want to buy some. How mu...Through the hole, I saw four masked men in the courtyard, each holding a short knife, cautiously approaching this way.

Yang Lin took a slow, deep breath, calming himself. He loaded an arrow into his crossbow and aimed it at the masked figure leading the way.

Within ten meters, he was confident he could hit his target with one arrow!

However, right now he's all alone. At most, he can take down one more before the rest probably scatter.

But what he wanted was to keep all those who dared to provoke him!

This battle must not only be won, but won decisively. We need to fight with momentum and let those wolves know the consequences of provoking us!

The arrow was aimed at the masked man, Yang Lin glanced back at Li Yuyao and Liao Hongying.

Both of them had now gotten up and were stringing their crossbows.

Li Yuyao came to Yang Lin's side and, without waiting for Yang Lin's command, already extended the crossbow arrow out of the hole, aiming at the outside.

Throughout the entire process, calm and composed.

So skilled, she must have practiced during her night watch.

However, what surprised Yang Lin even more was on Liao Hongying's side.

She gestured to Yang Lin, like a veteran of countless battles. She then moved alone to the door and through the hole in the panel, shot an arrow towards Yang Lin's side. With a nod, she signaled that Yang Lin could act at any time.

Four people outside, very close to the door.

Including the eldest sister, everyone held their breath, waiting for Yang Lin's order.

Three people, three crossbows, after a volley, at least three left!

Such a result is already quite good. As for the last one, whether it can stay or not depends on luck.

Just as Yang Lin took a deep breath and was about to order the attack...

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door!

"Run! Run away!"

"Yang Lin! Liu Di is mainly going to kill you! Run away quickly!"

Yang Lin's heart suddenly jumped into his throat.

But he was immediately stunned.

Because the one shouting was one of the four masked men.

What's the situation

"Damn it! I knew you wouldn't go through with it. You bastard, ruining my business and looking for a fight!"

The scarred man, clutching a short blade, hesitated for no moment before stabbing the masked figure beside him.

"Pfft!"

The man staggered and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Even as he fell, he still shouted "Run!", but his voice was weak and soon faded away.

"Brothers, Wang Lao San messed up our plans. He's alerted the others. Time is of the essence, let's charge in and kill them all!"

Having been exposed, Dao Scar Face was decisive enough. He shook the blood off his short knife and no longer hid, striding towards the door.

Meanwhile...

"Shoot!!"

Yang Lin shouted loudly.

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Three piercing shrieks echoed, followed by three black arrows of death shooting out from the holes in the windows and doors, disappearing into the darkness.

In a blink of an eye, before Scarface could react, his body suddenly stiffened.

"Ah—"

Three screams, almost simultaneous, rang out.

The scarred man's face contorted in pain as he lowered his head in disbelief, staring at the short arrow piercing his chest. Shock and fear were etched on his features before his body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Three arrows, all hit!

Three people almost fell to the ground at the same time! "Wait a minute! Don't go out yet, string your bows and arrows!"

Yang Lin hurriedly shouted.

Although he knew that the other party, unaware of his possession of a crossbow, had sent four people to assassinate him, which was more than enough, he doubted they would have any backup plan.

But whether or not the other party is prepared is their business, whether or not you are prepared is your business.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside. Yang Lin then said, "I'll go out, you two cover me."

Yang Lin, with a nocked crossbow in one hand, slowly pushed open the door and stepped outside.

As Yang Lin approached the masked person, his heart began to race with excitement.

In his past life, he was just an ordinary person. He had never been on a battlefield nor had he ever killed anyone.

Even when facing a life-or-death situation, he was able to maintain his composure.

But now, the crisis has been averted. There are only four corpses left in the yard, and he feels a chill down his spine, filled with aftershocks of fear.

But even so, he still took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.

Because he knew, even though he himself was an ordinary person who had never seen blood, he was now the head of the family, the only man in the house, and their only pillar of support!

So, no matter when, you should never be afraid.

While breathing evenly, Yang Lin's mind was racing, quickly formulating a plan.

First, he gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort, checking on the condition of these four people.

On second thought, Yang Lin was startled.

The masked man who yelled for him to run is still alive.

Of the remaining three masked men, one was also shot in the thigh and still breathing!

The remaining two were hit straight in the chest with arrows, they died instantly.

"Quick, find some rope! There's still one alive!"

The crossbow was aimed at the masked man's thigh, and Yang Lin shouted.

And at that moment, the slumbering women all stirred awake in a daze, yet were unaware of what had transpired.

After waking Yang Lin, the elder sister was in a daze. Hearing Yang Lin's shout, she panicked and scrambled for a rope. Trembling, she ran over with a bundle of rope.

Li Yuyao and Liao Hongying also came out with their crossbows, keeping watch on all sides while helping Yang Lin tie up the live catch.

Just now, Yang Lin has had some ideas.

If all four of them died, it would also be a good outcome.

But now that there are survivors, we must make the most of them!

At that moment, there were flickering flames in the distance, and voices could be heard.

Some villagers heard the commotion and are rushing over here.

"Quick, draw all the arrows! For now, keep the crossbows hidden!"

Yang Lin spoke, not caring if the living man would bleed to death. He directly pulled the crossbow bolt out of his thigh.

"Ah—"

The Masked Man let out a scream before waking up. Just as he tried to struggle, he realized he was tied up tight.

"Spare my life, spare my life! It was Landlord Liu who told me to do it. I don't know anything, please spare my life!"

Before Yang Lin could even question him, the man confessed to everything.

Actually, Yang Lin could have guessed it without even asking.

The people he had offended weren't many, just Liu the Landlord, Zhou's family in the county town, and the young master of Zhao the County Magistrate's family who they had beaten up.

The young master Zhao might not even know who hit him to this day, and while the Zhou family might dislike him, they haven't had any conflicts of interest.

Only Liu, the landlord, truly hated him to his bones!

To cut off someone's source of income is like killing their parents!

Although he didn't intentionally target the Liu family, by lending money to the poor and preventing them from selling their land, he harmed the interests of the wealthy landowners like Liu.

Especially yesterday's move of cutting off the supply line, it's equivalent to declaring war!

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that Liu the Landlord, driven to desperation, would resort to violence against him!

"Ah—"

Just then, screams rose one after another.to call me Your Majesty anymore. We are sisters, and I still want to call you Third Sister! Do you understandLiaohongying was deeply shaken.To be able to become sisters with a former princess and empe...
