he silver from Landlord Liu's house and the money collected for building the house, there is now over ten thousand taels of silver in the warehouse alone!And with so much silver, wouldn't it be enough...When Ziyi and Qingyi returned to Yanglin's side, Yanglin was lying dejectedly on the ground.

Just now, he tried to escape, but he couldn't muster the strength to even crawl, so he gave up.

Whatever happens, happens!

Zi Yi stepped forward: "Young Master Yang, as long as you honestly answer our questions, we won't make things difficult for you."

Qingyi opened her mouth and said, “Where is the person we are looking for”

Yang Lin simply closed his eyes, ignoring it.

"If you don't drink, I suggest you accept the penalty!" The man in purple had a cold face.

Qingyi spoke in a soft voice: “We’re just looking for someone. Tell us what you know, and we’ll naturally let you go. Otherwise, you might have to suffer a bit! Ziy i is skilled in torture. Even the toughest bones can’t withstand her methods.”

Ziyi said coldly, "I only give you ten breaths of time. If you don't speak again, I will cut off your fingers! One breath for one finger, after all ten fingers are cut off, I will then cut off your toes. When all your toes are gone, I can still dig out your eyes and cut off your ears!"

"Anything on your body that can be cut off, I will have it cut off! I'll only leave your tongue so you can still speak!"

She said fiercely, her purple clothes rippling as she drew a soft sword from her waist.

At this moment, Yang Lin was also not calm.

Looking at Ziyi's icy face, Yang Lin hurriedly spoke: "Ziyi, let's talk this out. You can't just randomly chop people! If your fingers are chopped off, they won't grow back!"

"Besides, since you're looking for someone, you should at least tell me who you're looking for and what your relationship is to them, right"

Ziyi said coldly, "These matters have nothing to do with you. You only need to tell me the whereabouts of the person I'm looking for!"

"There are still three breaths."

"Three."

"Two."

In a purple robe, Ziyi approached Yang Lin with her soft sword in hand.

Yang Lin even felt the icy blade edge pressing against his own skin!

He cried out in alarm, "Hey hey hey! I do know where the person you're looking for is! But if you dare to scratch my skin! I guarantee that even in death, I will absolutely not reveal a single word! If you have the guts, then chop it up, kill me! You won't be able to find out anything!"

Yang Lin gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

By now, he had no other choice but to engage in a psychological battle with the other party.

He kept his eyes tightly shut and continued to shout, "First, tell me, are you friends or enemies with her If you're friends with her, then I'm friends with her too. A friend of a friend is still a friend. Since we're all friends, wouldn't it be wrong for you to cut off my finger"

"Besides, in case you guys are enemies with her, I'm also at odds with her. Enemies of my enemies are friends, so we're still friends, right"

So no matter what, we're friends. Between friends, why would we start by cutting off fingers!

Yang Lin spoke rapidly, his voice cracking with raw emotion as he roared.

This is precisely why he always feels unsafe in this world.

I can be easily threatened with weapons, it's terrifying!

Purple and Green were both stunned.

Yang Lin's theory that "a friend of my friend is also my friend" and "an enemy of my enemy is my friend" left them momentarily unable to change their perspective.

Qing Yi whispered in Zi Yi's ear, "What he said seems reasonable. What if he is really Your Majesty... what if he is truly a friend of our friends If we cut off his finger, it would be bad."

"But what if he is an enemy of our 'friends'" Zi Yi frowned.

"Just ask and you'll know." Qingyi said, kicking Yang Lin, and asked, "Hey, what's your relationship with the person we're looking for"

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

All the way through his capture, he kept thinking about this question.

Because I don't know who the other person is, I can't just casually talk about my relationship with Li Yiyuan.

If they are truly friends, it's fine. But if they came to harm Li Yuyao, then speaking the truth would not only harm Li Yuyao but also other women, and she would lose her life-saving card!

Yang Lin knew very well that the other party was looking for Li Yuyao's whereabouts. As long as he didn't speak, the other party wouldn't kill him lightly.

"This... our relationship is very complicated! Two ladies, could you please let me sit down, so we can talk this over slowly"

Yang Lin intended to delay time. Just then, Ziyi and Qingyi both looked at each other simultaneously.

Someone is here!

"Go!"

There was no one in sight, but the two men didn't hesitate at all. They immediately dragged Yang Lin and ran deep into the woods.

Before they had gone far, the two of them froze, staring in surprise at what lay ahead.

"There's someone over there too, let's change directions!"

From a young age, their special training has given them hearing acuity beyond that of ordinary people.

They heard a barrage of footsteps in that direction, approaching them.

Then, they changed direction again.

After just a few steps, he heard footsteps again.

Both of them changed color.

People are approaching from all three directions.

This indicates that...

They were surrounded

Both Ziyi and Qingyi saw astonishment in each other's eyes.

I admire their journey, they encountered bandits several times but none could stop them.

And now, just this small village, has actually been surrounded

Meanwhile.

Outside the grove, Li Yuyao was directing the guards and villagers on both sides to tighten the encirclement.

“Be careful everyone, the opponent is highly skilled. Don't startle them, stay calm and slowly surround them!”

The entire village, with four or five hundred people, conducted a dragnet search, scouring every inch of land in this direction.

And in this direction, only this grove of trees is secluded enough to hide people.

Therefore, Li Yuyao concluded that the other party was in the woods!

She didn't recklessly send people directly into the woods, but instead circled the perimeter of the small forest first, encircling it completely. Then she gradually contracted inward.

... until ...

"Found it!!"

At last, some villagers saw Ziyi and Qingyi, along with Yang Lin being dragged by them!

The encirclement also quickly moved in this direction, closing in.

"Charge!"

"Let Yang Lin go!"

The villagers rushed in shouting.

The figures in purple and blue, encircled, hearing the cries, their faces paled.

Then they discovered, like a surging sea of people, crowds poured in from all directions!

There must be at least four or five hundred people!

Yang Lin, who was still being held in the middle, finally let out a breath of relief at this moment.

"Surrender, for the power of the people is invincible!"

Yang Lin said with a smile.

At the front were the guards, thirty strong, armed with swords, spears, and seven crossbows, encircling the two men.

Then, villagers armed with various farming tools surrounded them layer by layer.

A path was parted in the crowd, and Li Yuhua led the women, each holding a crossbow, into the midst.tles.And the Emperor's Seal, being the most commonly used, was employed for issuing edicts, bestowing titles upon empresses, and even for occasions such as the emperor's enthronement, succession, and...
