I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Stop it, who are you? Are you shameless in broad daylight?"

Lin Yiran rode on the horse, looked at the group of wretched men with a cold face and shouted at them loudly.

In the evening, a group of people were molesting decent women in the wilderness?

The drought was so severe that he didn't care about food or drink, and he still had time to flirt with decent women. He lived a leisurely life.

The wretched men narrowed their eyes and looked at Lin Yiran, their pupils instantly dilated, with lewd looks on their faces and greedy grins at the corners of their mouths.

It's amazing that I could meet such a beautiful girl in the wilderness.

While a group of lackeys were coveting Lin Yiran's beauty, they looked at the leader Ding Guanglie with shining eyes.

With such a beauty, if Young Master Ding gets his hands on her, they might be able to take advantage of her as well.

Being able to touch the fair and bright face of a beauty makes my life worthwhile.

They had never seen such a beautiful girl in their lives.

Ding Guanglie stared at Lin Yiran with his eyes fixed, his eyes revealing a gleam of determination to win.

The courtesan in the brothel cannot compare to the girl in front of him. Needless to say, the courtesan is beautiful, but what she lacks is the kind of unparalleled charm that this girl has.

The girl's look of contempt for everything was enough to capture his soul.

If he could make a girl like this submit to him, it would be even more satisfying than being an emperor.

Ding Guanglie rolled his eyes and looked Lin Yiran up and down.

The girl's white, translucent skin is like fine porcelain, and her plump and vibrant face is stunning at first sight.

The woman was dressed strangely, but the horse she was riding looked good, so her family background must be not simple.

Despite the long drought, they are still able to keep their horses in good health. This would be impossible without some financial resources.

Judging from the girl's aura, she must be either rich or noble, and most likely the daughter of a military officer.

Ding Guanglie's eyes rolled around and he looked around, with a sinister look in his eyes.

No matter how prominent her family background was, he could kidnap a woman alone in this remote area and no one would know.

Isn't this just the right time, right place and right people?

There is no reason to refuse a stunning woman who comes to your door.

He turned around and shut up the lackeys around him, so naturally no one knew that such a beauty was in his hands.

Ding Guanglie raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes swept over the lecherous lackey beside him, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Before Ding Guanglie could say anything, the girl he was surrounding started shouting,

"Girl, save me---Woo woo---"

"They are not good people and want to insult me..."

The girl who was surrounded by obscene men saw Lin Yiran running towards her, as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

She raised her tear-stained and slightly dirty face and looked at Lin Yiran pleadingly.

The moment she saw Lin Yiran's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with infinite worry, and her eyes were filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

It's over. This girl is so pretty, but she looks even weaker than she is. How can she be a match for these beasts?

The girl squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, sobbed helplessly, swallowed back all the words for help, and turned to shout at Lin Yiran,

"Girl, run! They have swords..."

Her life is worthless, it doesn't matter if she dies early or late, so don't implicate innocent people.

Lin Yiran glanced at the girl and her eyes fell on Ding Guanglie.

Among the crowd, only this guy was dressed like a human being, with a greasy face and a pair of small eyes.

The others were all more or less pale and thin, but this guy was a little fat, with a slightly protruding belly, looking like he had a lot of fat on his head.

"Shut up!"

Ding Guanglie turned his head and glanced at the girl, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

This woman is considered pretty good in the county, but unfortunately, compared with this woman, her momentum is much weaker.

He is more attracted to women riding horses, they look energetic.

"Young lady, don't listen to this bitch's nonsense. She is a runaway slave from my mansion. She eloped with someone else. She is an indecent thing. Don't insult your eyes."

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know him!"

The girl widened her eyes and looked at Ding Guanglie in disbelief as he was talking nonsense.

Lin Yiran glanced at the girl.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, skinny and a little malnourished.

A pair of big watery eyes, filled with tears, are particularly charming.

Lin Yiran raised the whip in her hand and pointed it at Ding Guanglie.

"who are you?"

Ding Guanglie saw the beauty pointing at him, so he put his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest proudly, and glanced at the lackey beside him.

The lackeys immediately understood and shouted at the top of their voices,

"Where did you come from, little girl? Come down quickly and pay your respects to Master Ding, the eldest son of County Magistrate Ding."

"Master Ding has always been kind to women. Seeing how exhausted the beauty looks, she must have come out to look for food and water..."

"You are so lucky to have met Master Ding. Master Ding's family is the only one in the whole county that has food and water. Why don't you come down quickly and beg Master Ding..."

"......"

The lackeys talked one after another and soon revealed Ding Guanglie's identity.

Nowadays, food and water are much more useful than gold and silver.

The reason why they were so flattering to Ding Guanglie was because they would never starve or die of thirst if they followed Young Master Ding.

Following Young Master Ding everywhere, he showed off his power and was so proud.

How much they looked down on their mothers in the past, and now they are still begging for mercy from them because of their stuttering.

Those who secretly cursed Lord Ding as a corrupt official were too hungry to curse anymore.

Ding Guanglie straightened his back even more due to the praise from his lackeys, holding his head high with an arrogant look.

"Cough cough!"

Ding Guanglie coughed twice and raised his hand slightly.

The lackeys immediately shut their mouths, bent their waists and looked at Ding Guanglie with a flattering smile on their faces.

Ding Guanglie pulled out the fan from his waist, opened it with a rustling sound, and shook it gently twice.

He glanced at Lin Yiran carelessly.

"My beauty, you look exhausted from the long journey, you must be very tired.

You happen to be going in the same direction as me, so why don’t you stop by my house to rest for a while? If you need anything, just tell me, it’s all trivial…”

Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows and sneered.

It turns out that he is the son of a corrupt official.

Three years as an honest magistrate, 100,000 silver coins, the ancients were not deceiving me.

This place is still under the jurisdiction of Wuyi City, and County Magistrate Ding should be a subordinate of Prefect Song.

Magistrate Song's house is empty now, so I guess Magistrate Ding must be having a hard time at this time, right?

"Oh!? Where is your house?"

Ding Guanglie saw that there was hope, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"In Shiquan City, beauties love riding horses. When you get to Shiquan City, I will pick out some good horses for you. The horses in Wuyi City cannot compare to those in Shiquan City. There are many good horses in Shiquan City..."

This place is too close to Wuyi City. This woman must be the daughter of an official in Wuyi City.

He has to trick people into Shiquan City first, because a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

No one would say anything if he bullied a peasant girl, but if he married a daughter of an official, and even on someone else's territory, it would be hard to say.

If he is captured by the girl's house, he will suffer when his father comes to rescue him. This is not acceptable.
