Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Chang Wu thought about it in his mind, weighed the pros and cons, and said through gritted teeth: "Well, I'll take a step back, and we'll split the five thousand taels equally. I'll take two thousand taels of silver alone. It was the expert behind me who revealed Shen Mengyao's situation that allowed us to find such a fat sheep. It's not too much to take these two thousand taels of silver as a reward for our hard work, right? The remaining three thousand taels will be split equally among the five of us, six hundred taels each, how about that?"

Everyone looked at each other, although they still felt unwilling.

“But we are the ones doing the work.”

"How can you work without our news?" Chang Wu also stood up and snorted, "If you don't accept it, you can leave at any time. You don't have to take any risks, and don't share the money. These six hundred taels of silver are enough for you to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of your lives. Don't be ungrateful."

After thinking about it, they could barely accept such a huge windfall. After all, this was the best outcome compared to returning empty-handed.

"Okay, it's settled. Don't go back on your word!" A short man was the first to speak out.

Chang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I, Chang Wu, always keep my word."

Shen Mengyao was standing at the door and naturally heard their conversation. She didn't expect these people to be so easily satisfied, and her plan failed.

She suddenly heard footsteps rushing towards this side, and immediately leaned back. Before she could react, she was seen by several of them.

Chang Wu snorted coldly: "You are still a little naive if you want to alienate the relationship between us brothers!"

Shen Mengyao secretly thought that something was wrong, but on the surface she pretended to be calm, with a faint smile on her lips, trying to stabilize the situation with words: "Brother, you misunderstood. I just said it casually. How dare I stir up trouble between you brothers? My life is still in your hands, how dare I play tricks."

Chang Wu's eyes were sharp, and he pressed on step by step: "You'd better behave yourself and don't play any tricks. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Shen Mengyao was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, and continued to show weakness on the surface: "Of course I dare not, but I am a straightforward person. If I have offended you, please forgive me, big brother."

Chang Wu finally saw how powerful her mouth was. He frowned and narrowed his eyes: "Tie her up and gag her!"

After receiving the order, several people came over and cooperated to tie up Shen Mengyao!

Shen Mengyao bit her lip, but there was nothing she could do.

After Chang Wu had tied up the man, he turned around and said, "Who among you... is going to Xin'an Temple to wait for news?"

When the short man heard this, he stepped forward and said, "I'll go!"

After the arrangement was completed, several people went out again.

Shen Mengyao was tied in a corner. When she heard the door being closed, she immediately stood up and found a place to rub the hemp rope.

He just saw that this place was shabby. Although the only small window could not be opened, the window frame was a bit rotten and might open if it was bumped!

She absolutely could not put her life in the hands of these people.

Shen Mengyao was extremely anxious, but she did not dare to slack off. She used all her strength and finally made a small hole in the hemp rope tied around her wrist. Although it was not big, it was enough to give her a glimmer of hope.

The sky outside was dim and dark, as if it was already late at night! Only the whiter moonlight came in, illuminating the room!

At this moment, Meng was quietly opened. He immediately stopped what he was doing and leaned against the wall, pretending to be asleep. The footsteps stopped in front of him. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her: "What are you going to do?"

As she spoke, she shed a few tears, showing her weakness to the enemy!

The man's heart almost melted, and he immediately held her face and said, "Oh, my little beauty, please don't cry, or your brother will feel bad."

"Don't kill me, I'm afraid of death." Shen Mengyao sobbed softly.

"How can I bear to kill you?" The man pinched her chin and smiled lewdly: "Such a delicate woman, I haven't tasted it yet, what is it like!"

Shen Mengyao looked up and felt sorry for Yingying: "Don't kill me, I'm willing to do whatever you want."

When the man heard him say that, he became impatient and immediately wanted to pounce on her and kiss her.

Shen Mengyao blinked her eyes: "What's the point of tying me up? Are you a grown man afraid of a little girl like me?"

The man was flattered by the praise and was already confused. He stretched out his hand and said, "Young lady, I will untie it for you. Please don't mess around."

Shen Mengyao nodded, but a gleam of light flashed in her clear eyes.

The man carefully untied the hemp rope tied around Shen Mengyao's wrist, his eyes full of desire and anticipation, as if he was about to taste the most delicious food in the world. However, he did not notice the calmness and wit hidden in Shen Mengyao's clear eyes.

As soon as the hemp rope loosened, Shen Mengyao immediately acted submissive, slowly stood up, gently put her hands around the man's neck, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother, you have to be gentle to me."

The man's heart was completely captured, and he wanted to pull Shen Mengyao closer to him in a frenzy. At this critical moment, Shen Mengyao suddenly exerted force and kicked the man's knee hard, while at the same time, she suddenly hit the man's abdomen with her elbow.

The man was caught off guard, cried out in pain, and staggered backwards.

Shen Mengyao didn't give him a chance to breathe. She picked up a wooden stick on the wall and hit him right on the center.

After making sure that the man would not have a chance to catch up with her, she immediately rushed to the rotten window and slammed it with all her strength.

The window was vulnerable and shattered in an instant. Moonlight and night wind poured in, bringing a hint of life to the dark room.

Shen Mengyao did not hesitate at all and quickly crawled out from the broken hole in the window. Under the cover of night, she quickly disappeared into the forest. She knew in her heart that this was deep in the mountains and this was only a temporary escape. She had to find a safe place as soon as possible.

At the same time, there were sounds of men cursing and his companions panicking from inside the house.

"What's going on? Lao Si, lust is like a sword hanging over your head, how could you do such a thing!"

They obviously didn't expect Shen Mengyao to resist so fiercely, and they didn't expect her to use the window to escape. Chang Wu was even more furious.

He knew very well that once Shen Mengyao escaped, their plan would be completely ruined and might even lead to being hunted down by the government.

"Chase her! We must catch her!" Chang Wu ordered with gritted teeth, "This is deep in the mountains. She is a weak woman and can't run far."

Shen Mengyao shuttled through the mountains and forests. She was not familiar with this place, and she was running around like a headless fly, constantly changing directions, trying to shake off the pursuers behind her.

In the dense woods, the moonlight could not penetrate the thick gaps between the trees and it was pitch black all around. Apart from the sounds of insects and birds, the only sound was my own heartbeat like a drum!
