Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Turmoil Approaches: Sisi on the Brink of Life and Death (Part 1) Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Turmoil Approaches: Sisi on the Brink of Life and Death (Part 1) The sound of killing shook the heavens!

Countless streams of fresh blood gathered on the deck, forming dark red streams that, in the cold winter day, seemed even more chilling.

Di Yelei’s ears were already deaf to the sounds around him; his eyes were fixed solely on that cabin door.

His eyes bulging, he fought to break out of the encirclement, but the enemy’s tactic of using human wave assaults trapped him. Despite his immense strength, he was restricted by the confines of the space and couldn’t fully exert himself.

By the time he finally managed to get to the cabin door, that group of people had long ago rushed into the bottom of the cabin.

Throwing caution to the wind, Di Yelei also charged in like a madman.

The bottom of the cabin had already drastically changed at that moment.

Liu Sisi was currently being held hostage by Xing Pan’er, standing in a corner near the bottom of the cabin, facing off against another group of people across a big table.

“Let her go! I can leave you a whole corpse!”

The person leading the other group hissed in a low voice.

“Don’t come any closer! If any of you takes one more step, I can’t guarantee her head will still be on her shoulders!”

As she spoke, the short blade in her hand was pressed down forcefully.

Liu Sisi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and immediately a trickle of fresh blood flowed slowly from the edge of the blade.

She had numerous abrasions on her body, naturally from her previous altercation with Xing Pan’er. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Earlier, before everyone else had come down, Xing Pan’er had grabbed the wooden hairpin and lunged at Liu Sisi trying to kill her, but was blocked by Xue Yi.

Liu Sisi, of course, was not about to sit and wait for death!

Together with Xue Yi, the two fought with Xing Pan’er in a desperate scuffle.

At that moment, someone from outside opened the cabin door, and a large group of people rushed in.

It was in that split second that Xing Pan’er reversed the situation, managing to subdue Liu Sisi with one hand and creating the current hostage standoff.

“Don’t try to bargain with me; you’re not qualified! Humph!”

The voice of the other party was especially low, and at a wave of her hand, her people immediately surrounded Xing Pan’er in the center.

Liu Sisi noticed that the figure of the opponent was petite, seemingly a woman.

“Since I’m not qualified, then there’s nothing left to discuss. If you take one more step forward, then be prepared to join her in a joint burial!”

Xing Pan’er showed no sign of movement, not a trace of panic even in such a dire situation, calmly confronting the other.

“You!…”

The other party was clearly at a temporary loss as to what to do with Xing Pan’er; they hesitated nearby, not daring to take action.

What Di Yelei saw when he burst through the door was this very scene.

“Sisi!”

Seeing that Liu Sisi was still alive, Di Yelei breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, when he saw the short blade in Xing Pan’er’s hand, his expression immediately changed!

“Let her go!”

Xing Pan’er had long ago spotted Di Yelei and immediately burst into a quivering smile.

“Di Yelei, oh Di Yelei, who would have thought we would meet again under such circumstances! Should we say it’s fate, or simply a lack thereof!”

Di Yelei obviously hadn’t expected to encounter Xing Pan’er under these conditions either.

Although he had long realized Xing Pan’er’s dubious origins, his initial intent had been to keep the other party under close surveillance. But as matters escalated, he ultimately drove her from the manor. He had not expected their next meeting to be like this.

“Xing Pan’er, what exactly do you want to do? If you seek revenge, just come at me directly. It was I who cast you out of the farm. You’re taking your revenge on the wrong person! Let her go!”

“Heh, Di Yelei, oh Di Yelei, pah!”

Xing Pan’er spared him no mercy, spitting at him disdainfully. A look of contempt crossed her face: “Stop flattering yourself! Would Xing Pan’er have spared you a glance if not for seeking an opportunity to get close to Liu Sisi? You’re far too conceited.”

Those words immediately changed Di Yelei’s complexion, but he was concerned about Liu Sisi’s well-being and dared not make any rash moves. He quickly turned his attention to the various groups of horsemen nearby.

Once everyone had taken position at the bottom of the cabin, the lines between different powers became crystal clear, allowing Di Yelei to quickly identify their respective allegiances.

The first group to appear consisted of a woman in tight black clothes with a very low voice. She was the most powerful here, surrounded by many formidable figures.

The second group was to his left, likely His Majesty’s horsemen sent to find Liu Sisi. He noticed the leader was dressed in a fourth-rank military officer uniform, looking at him warily, evidently having received certain instructions in advance.

The third and fourth groups were the weakest, with the fewest numbers. He had dealt with most of them on the deck and inside the cabin, and seeing no chance of victory, they had quickly retreated. He couldn’t guess the origin of these two groups of horsemen yet, but he recognized an acquaintance among them…

Then there was Xing Pan’er’s group, currently holding Liu Sisi hostage. Liu Sisi seemed to have drawn all these people, each seeming desperate to devour her flesh.

“Xing Pan’er! If your target isn’t Sisi, then let her go quickly. Whatever your demands are, you can state them, and I the Marquis will certainly fulfill them,”

Xing Pan’er let out successive cold laughs: “Demands? You’ve actually hit the mark, I, Xing Pan’er, do have a demand!”

She suddenly tightened her grip on Liu Sisi, laughing maniacally, “My only demand is to send all of you to meet the King of Hell!”

Liu Sisi inhaled sharply! She fiercely grasped Xing Pan’er’s arm, “Xing Pan’er, have you gone mad?”

“I am mad! You all drove me to madness! What point is there for me to live in this world without the Crown Prince? I know his favorite was you! So, I will fulfill his greatest wish. I believe his soul is in this great river; I want you all to accompany him in death! I want all of you to die!”

Xing Pan’er shouted madly, her face a mask of insanity.

Yes! Initially, Nan Tianzong had died by jumping into this great river, and Xing Pan’er was Nan Tianzong’s Secondary Concubine. She had captured herself and lured these people here, naturally for the sake of avenging Nan Tianzong!

In the blink of an eye, Liu Sisi understood the cause and effect of the situation and could not help but bitterly smile.

The debts owed were bound to be repaid sooner or later! At present, the debt collector had arrived!

“None of you will escape! I’m not afraid to tell you that this cargo ship is filled with gunpowder and saltpetre. Speaking of which, I should thank you.”

Xing Pan’er suddenly laughed, using the short blade in her hand to lift Liu Sisi’s chin.

“This gunpowder and saltpetre were taught by you to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince in turn passed them to me. Today, I’ll use them to send you all on your way. Wouldn’t you say you’ll die a fitting death!”

Xing Pan’er laughed crazily.

Di Yelei tried to seize the opportunity to rush forward but was quickly spotted by the enemy, who swiftly drew a knife across Liu Sisi’s collarbone.
