After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 108 You’re Dead If You Provoke Me

Shopkeeper Liu's attempts to stop them were clearly useless. Murong Yan could only hear the footsteps getting closer. Instead of getting angry, she smiled. It looked like these people were coming for her. That was quite interesting!

The beautiful peach blossom eyes turned slightly, and she seemed to be interested. In Canghe, it was rare to find someone who dared to meddle in Murong Yanhui's affairs!

Yu Qingli frowned. What on earth was going on? Judging from the tone of Shopkeeper Liu, these people should be officials, and they seemed very aggressive. I wonder why they came here instead of going to do disaster relief at this time?

The door of the "seventh floor" was kicked open with a bang, and most of the colored glaze inlaid behind the door fell off. Murong Yanhui's smile remained on her lips, but a cold look appeared in her eyes.

"Lili, it seems like someone is not letting us have a good meal!"

The man who came was a sturdy man who looked to be in his thirties. He had a full beard. Unlike the delicate and graceful southerners, he had the roughness of a northerner. He was wearing a third-rank military officer's uniform and looked like he had some background.

Shopkeeper Liu apologized with a bitter face, "Wang..."

He had just said one word when he was interrupted by Murong Yanhui, who was obviously unwilling to reveal his identity.

Seeing this, Manager Liu stood aside cleverly and said nothing more.

The man's face flushed red upon seeing the room's unique decorations and the delicious food on the table. "What time is it now? We brothers have been repairing that damn dam all day, exhausted, and can only eat porridge and small dishes all day. Our mouths are almost dry. And here, someone is enjoying delicious food. Brothers, don't you think this is fair?!"

The people who followed responded cooperatively: "Of course it's not fair!"

"Since it's unfair, then what are you waiting for, brothers? Grab all these things for me!"

Murong Yanhui remained calm. He glanced coldly at the leader's face, stretched out his finger and hooked it at him, "Come here!"

The bearded man, out of either stupidity or honesty, actually took two steps forward and asked, "What do you want?"

"Don't you think it's unfair that you damaged my door and tried to steal my things? It seems that I'm eating and drinking here and it doesn't interfere with your business."

The man spat at Murong Yan and said, "I've always despised you rich but unkind people. It's already this late, and you're still feasting here. To tell you the truth, I've been eyeing you ever since you walked in here. You all seem quite wealthy, why don't you give some money to those poor people?"

Murong Yanhui raised an eyebrow. This inexplicable figure had piqued his interest, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? A bandit who robs the rich and helps the poor?"

The man slapped his chest and said, "I may not be considered a brave outlaw, but I am still a man of great stature! Look at the rain, it looks like the house is about to collapse. Even the Prime Minister has personally climbed the embankment. You guys, you look like strong men, but why are you hiding here with an old woman?"

The man's foul language made Yu Qingli frown. Although those people were wearing official uniforms, they did not fit them very well. They were of different lengths, as if they were pulled off from other people's bodies. Looking at the shoes on their feet, they were not the uniform official boots. They were so shabby. How could they look like well-trained officers and soldiers?

What puzzled Yu Qingli the most was that when she arrived just now, there was not a single soldier on the embankment. There were only farmers carrying mud to build the dam. How could a group of unidentified soldiers suddenly appear here?

Based on Yu Qingli's understanding of Yu Zhengsha, if there were really soldiers present, he would not allow the people to build the dam.

While the man was talking to Murong Yan, he let those who were with him enter the room, as if to rob it.

Murong Yanhui's face turned cold. He originally thought that they must be officials and soldiers of the imperial court who could not stand the extravagant eating and drinking, so they came to stop him. However, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that he was wrong. These people were simply robbers in disguise.

Murong Yan swung his sleeves back, knocking the first few people who entered to the ground. "How dare you! Regardless of whether you are soldiers or bandits, if you provoke me, you are dead!"

The leading man quickly drew out the big knife from his waist and chopped it towards Murong Yanhui. Murong Yanhui dodged and the steel knife chopped straight towards the fine mahogany table, splitting the table in half.

All those bowls and plates were broken into pieces all over the floor, what a waste of all the delicious food on the table.

The fight had already begun. The man in the lead shouted to the others behind him, "Brothers, listen to me! Take all the valuables in this room. Oh, and take that little girl back to the mountain with her!"

"Okay!"

After the loud response, those people rummaged around rudely, and some of them even climbed onto the beams to take the night pearls.

Yu Qingli thought to herself, it seems they have encountered bandits.

These people probably wanted to take advantage of the rampant floods to make a fortune here, and judging by the way they appeared, it was obvious that they had planned everything beforehand and came here well prepared!

He was so brave that he actually grabbed Murong Yanhui's head!

Murong Yanhui immediately reached out and pulled Yu Qingli to his side. The jewelry and valuables were lost, but if anything happened to Yu Qingli, he would be blamed.

What's more, he didn't take those few petty thieves seriously and easily avoided their attacks. Murong Yanhui began to think about how to escape.

The most important thing is to send Yu Qingli to a safe place first!

Shopkeeper Liu was quite smart. When he saw that something was wrong, he immediately sneaked away to report to the police. Regardless of how these officers and soldiers came, there would always be someone who would take care of this matter, right?

Murong Yanhui held Yu Qingli's slender waist with one hand and resisted the attacks from all directions with the other hand. Although it was a bit difficult, he still managed to cope with it!

These people looked like a mob. After a few rounds, they were beaten to pieces and fled in panic. Only the bearded man who was in the lead was better than the others.

However, seeing that the situation was not going well, the bearded man didn't want to fight anymore and shouted at those people, "Hurry up and leave!"

When the fake officers and soldiers who followed heard the order, they fled in all directions.

"Want to leave?! It's not that easy!"

Murong Yanhui was not so easy to let them go. Not only did they ruin his fun, but they also damaged his things. If he let them go like this, wouldn't it damage his reputation as the King of Yan?!

Murong Yanhui told Yu Qingli to stay in the room and not move, and he jumped out of the window and blocked the gate of the Taotie Tower, like a single man guarding the pass.

The bandits who were fleeing in a panic were suddenly at a loss and looked at the bearded man with pleading eyes.

The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, let's fight him! It's just a matter of death. Eighteen years later, I'll still be a hero!"

Murong Yanhui snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You bully men and women, become a bandit, and have all the strength but are no match for those beggars on the street. Even if you die, I'm sure you will be sorry for your ancestors! In eighteen years, you won't be a hero! Maybe because of the sins of this life, you will turn into a pig or a dog and be slaughtered!"

The bearded man was furious and raised the steel knife in his hand to chop it down, but Murong Yanhui grabbed it with one hand. With a little force, the steel knife broke into two pieces. The bearded man was so frightened that he took several steps back. If there was no one supporting him from behind, he would have fallen to the ground.

Murong Yanhui continued, "You were so eloquent earlier, and you looked like a man of great stature, yet you've become a bandit. Don't you think it's a disgrace to your ancestors?"

The bearded man's face turned red and white, and he was unable to refute for a while. At this moment, he heard the sound of neat footsteps coming in the rain. The soldiers were coming!

The leader was a very strong-looking man, about thirty years old, with a pair of bright eyes. He wiped the rain off his face and saluted Murong Yanhui, "Your Highness!"

The bearded man's face changed when he heard this. After all this time, they had actually offended the emperor!

"Catch these thieves!"

"Yes!"

Murong Yan gave an order, and the officers and soldiers who arrived surrounded the Taotie Tower one by one. None of the bandits who pretended to be officers and soldiers and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob escaped.

The officers and soldiers escorted the bandits towards the county government office. Yu Qingli also came down from the second floor, feeling deeply moved. It seemed that this natural disaster was bound to cause man-made disasters!

Shopkeeper Liu, who had hurried back, apologized profusely, "Your Majesty, Miss Yu, I'm sorry for disturbing you both today and ruining your fun. I'll definitely prepare a delicious meal for you another day as an apology."

"This is not Shopkeeper Liu's fault, so don't mind it." Yu Qingli said softly.

Murong Yanhui nodded slightly and said, "Today's incident is not the fault of the shopkeeper. Just restore my private room to its original state as soon as possible."

"That's natural, natural!"

Murong Yan turned around and said to Yu Qingli, "I was planning to treat Lili to a meal, but now it's gone."

"That's true. It seems like every time the prince invites me to dinner, something goes wrong. It seems that in the future, the prince should not invite me to dinner casually."

Murong Yan laughed back, "I promise that I will treat Lili to a good meal next time."

"No need. It's getting late today. Your Highness should send me back as soon as possible."

Went out with great fun but came back disappointed! This made Murong Yanhui somewhat unhappy, but today's incident could not be blamed on anyone. If there was anyone to blame, it could only be blamed on the natural disaster or man-made disaster.

On the way back, listening to the sound of the rain still falling, Murong Yanhui felt inexplicably upset. A good dinner was ruined like this, and she felt depressed just thinking about it.

Turning his head to look at Yu Qingli who was reading a book in the car, Murong Yanhui's gaze softened, and his irritable mood gradually calmed down.

When did this simple and graceful woman become so deeply imprinted in my heart? It was like this, unknowingly, slowly seeping into my heart like a stream.
