Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Ah Yao, I’m Your Brother

When Qin Yao and the group of four arrived at the village entrance, the battle here had already ended.

The one-eyed man’s group had been completely defeated, and the guards and drivers of the Qin Family Trading House had tied them all up. Yin Le and Da Lang were secretly surprised, "They have so many ropes."

Just now in the courtyard, they had run out of hemp rope, but the Big Business was well-prepared.

Actually, these ropes were meant for binding cargo, quickly taken from the carriage, tying four or five people together, making it harder for them to escape.

The sudden appearance of Qin Yao and the group of four startled the members of the trading house who had just breathed a sigh of relief. The leading boss immediately drew his sword.

Yin Le hurriedly explained loudly, "We are allies. We just took care of the remaining bandits in the village and came here to help, fearing you wouldn’t be able to handle them. Please don’t misunderstand!"

The four of them had no torches and stood in the shadows. Qin Feng squinted his eyes for a long time before he could make out four adults and a child, two men and two women, their appearances unclear, but that long blade shone with a faint silver glow under the moonlight, particularly conspicuous.

"I am Qin Feng, the boss of the Qin Family Trading House. May I know your names and why are you here?" Qin Feng probed.

Yin Le answered, "My name is Yin Le, and next to me are my housekeeper Ah Wang and the young master Liu Ziwang. Coincidentally, my wife is also surnamed Qin, Qin Yao."

Qin Yao?

Yao Niang!

Qin Feng tightened his grip on his sword, his heart trembling greatly. His mind heated up, then quickly calmed down. Impossible, this couldn’t be; Yao Niang didn’t know martial arts and couldn’t have such a grown-up son.

Still, Qin Feng couldn’t help but put away his sword despite the danger, raise a torch, and walk forward, wanting to see the person’s appearance.

There are many people in the world with the same name; it could be a coincidence.

But what if...

Yin Le continued, "Our family is on a visit to the Capital to see relatives, and we passed through here, lured by these people using a child. Who knew their plans were exposed early, and we discovered them..."

Visiting relatives in the Capital, if it was Yao Niang, she should recognize the family in Northwest City, which means it’s unlikely to be her.

"Besides the group in front of you, there are two other groups of bandits tied up in a house in the southeast of the village and in the courtyard not far ahead. If you don’t believe it, Boss, you can send someone to check... Master?!"

Before Yin Le could finish speaking, he saw his master suddenly charge out with a knife, exclaiming in surprise.

Looking up again, he gasped in shock.

Someone appeared out of nowhere, suddenly showing up behind Qin Feng, who was about to approach them, with a rusty big knife raised high, preparing to slash down on him.

Even though Mr. Qin was so agile while leading the guards to counterattack just now, he didn’t even notice someone had sneaked up behind him.

Seeing the rusty large knife about to hit Qin Feng’s back, a silver long knife pierced obliquely, using its wide blade to fiercely lift the rusty thin blade away!

With a "clang", the two knives clashed violently, one advancing strongly, the other retreating in shock. The bandit was forced back with no escape, smashed ruthlessly by the silver knife like a wave, breaking the rusty knife and collapsing while spitting blood.

The guards of the trading house stared dumbfounded at Qin Yao, this woman was so fierce!

Qin Yao snorted disdainfully, stopped, and placed the blade upside down in the ground, leaning on the staff, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Knocked down in one move, the battle ended too quickly, and she hadn’t even used up half of her energy.

It was strange; even with Ah Wang present, she didn’t really need to make a move. But as it turned out, when she realized it, her body had instinctively rushed out.

Thinking about this, Qin Yao glanced sideways at the Qin Boss she had just saved.

From a distance, she didn’t notice that this Boss was quite good-looking, full of righteousness, with the demeanor of a hero.

However, this so-called ’hero’ wasn’t strong at martial arts at all.

She quietly sneered, raising an eyebrow to ask him, "Boss, are you okay?"

The person, however, seemed to be struck dumb, staring blankly at her, with no response.

"Hey!" Qin Yao waved a hand in front of his eyes.

It’s her! Even if her face turned to ashes, he wouldn’t mistake it!

Qin Feng’s expression changed drastically. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her swinging wrist, exclaiming excitedly, "Ah Yao! I’m your brother—"

"Wife, are you okay?"

Liu Ji rushed over with a face full of worry, slapped Qin Feng’s hand away with a "thwack", grabbed his wife’s hand in his own, and pulled her protectively several steps backward, checking her over thoroughly to see if she was injured, and sighed with relief when he found no extra creases on her clothes.

He gave Qin Feng a dark, unkind look, warning him what kind of person is this, daring to touch his wife’s hand, unaware of the customs between men and women!

Even if grateful, he wanted to express his gratitude through tying lives, but looking uglier than a pig, did he stand a chance?

Liu Ji believed that as the legitimate husband revealing himself, some people would awkwardly back off.

Unexpectedly, that person glared even larger and fiercer than him and charged a few big steps forward, pulling his and Qin Yao’s held hands apart, angrily demanding in his face, "Who are you?"

Liu Ji, slippery as a fish, dodged like a monkey, with Qin Feng unbelievably chasing after, scaring Liu Ji into shouting, "Wife, help me!"

Qin Feng frowned deeply, "A dignified man like you needs a weak woman to save him? What sort of man are you?"

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, weak? Her?

Seeing Liu Ji scampering away in retreat and being chased, she found the scene amusing. Watching their chase for a while, she finally stepped forward to stop Qin Feng, who was preparing to draw his sword and chop Liu Ji.

Liu Ji smirked provocatively at Qin Feng and quickly shrank behind his wife to tattle, "Wife, he treated your husband, who saved his life like this; next time, don’t save him, let him die under the bandit’s knife!"

Qin Feng glared angrily, "Simply a ruffian and rascal, and you fancy such a person?"

One can criticize their own, but others cannot.

Qin Yao’s face darkened, "Boss, mind your language."

She also gave Liu Ji a glare, "I told you to watch over the courtyard. Why did you come out?"

Liu Ji quickly explained, "I only came out after seeing that everything outside was fine; the children are all alright, rest assured."

Qin Yao barely let it slide, then called Ah Wang and the others to the village entrance to check the situation on the cliff.

The group of people blocked at the cliff, seeing the situation was hopeless, chose to flee.

Indeed, at this moment, there were seventy-three people in the Qin Family Trading House, with little chance of success against their forty or fifty people.

And for them, once discovered, it’s either kill to silence or escape.

Not running now, waiting for the government to arrive, would be a sure death!

Watching the fires on the cliff quickly receding, with the high cliff turning pitch black, Qin Yao and the others also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m hungry." Her eyes were fixed on Ah Wang.

Ah Wang sighed almost imperceptibly, took hold of Da Lang’s small frame, and went off to find food supplies.

Qin Yao asked Yin Le to first return to the courtyard to check on Second Lang and the others, then led Liu Ji, who found Qin Feng objectionable, back to the trading team, asking what they planned to do.

During this time, Qin Feng’s puzzled gaze remained on her, finding it hard to speak, then pausing, as if in constipation.
