Border, Niutoushan.

There used to be a bandit den called Niutou Village on Niutou Mountain. These guys robbed homes and committed all kinds of evil, but now Niutou Village has been occupied by pigeons.

Originally, the bandits in Niutou Village, except for a few strong ones who were useful, the rest were demoted to slaves.

What caused all this was the Southern Barbarians who came across the border. Relying on their strong power, they occupied Niutou Village and started the days of robbing families and plundering houses.

It's just that these Nanman are different from the bandits in Niutou Village. Niutou Village is waiting for the fat sheep to come to their door, while Nanman is more willing to take the initiative.

"General, the Sixth Commander and his team haven't returned yet. Do you need someone to check?"

"No need, we came here in disguise this time, and we paid great attention to hiding our whereabouts along the way. The trash from the Qingxuan Dynasty couldn't find us at all.

Moreover, we are looting some ordinary villages this time. I believe that Lao Liu, with his strength, can escape safely even if he encounters danger. "

The person who spoke was An Luying, the commander-in-chief of this "sheep hunting" operation. This time, he brought a total of 3,000 people to the Qingxuan Dynasty for operations.

In order not to attract attention, An Luying divided the three thousand people into fifty squads and asked the captains of these squads to implement the three-guang policy and not to leak their whereabouts.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to escape if the Qingxuan Dynasty's troops were attracted.

An Luying has absolute confidence in his plan. As long as the captain of each team strictly implements his requirements, the news will not be leaked.

However, an hour had passed since the agreed time, and the team led by Lao Liu still had not returned, which made An Luying a little uneasy.

"Call the master, let's go pick up Lao Liu!"

In the end, An Luying decided to take people to pick up Lao Liu. The group set off from Niutoushan in a mighty manner and soon appeared in front of the village where Lao Liu robbed.

"hiss……"

Looking at the corpses and bloodstains on the ground, An Luying and the Nanman behind him couldn't help but take a breath, with horror on their faces, but after the shock, their expressions turned to anger.

"Dead, all dead. Those two-legged sheep actually killed Lao Liu. These people pray that I will never touch them, otherwise I will make them regret coming to this world!"

"revenge!"

"Yes, revenge, revenge for the dead brother!"

The Southern Barbarians were furious, and everyone clamored for revenge against the murderer.

An Luying also had a sinister look in his eyes. A team of sixty people would die if they died. What he cared about was that the death of these sixty people would lead to his mission not being completed perfectly. This was unforgivable.

"Brothers, you are right. If someone kills our brothers, they must pay the price. If they kill one of me, I will kill ten people to take revenge!"

"Revenge! Revenge!"

The Southern Barbarians had bloodthirsty expressions on their faces. The stimulation of blood made their spirits excited, and the bloodthirsty violent factors in their bodies were also ignited little by little.

"General, we found the traces of those people!" the scout reported.

"Very good, tell me what's going on with those people!" The person who can wipe out Lao Liu's team must be strong, and An Luying doesn't want to have a head-on confrontation!

"General, the number of the other party is probably between 150 and 200, but one thing is strange, that is, at least 100 of them are children."

"Child? Are you sure you're not mistaken!"

An Luying's eyes showed a surprised look, who would bring children with them when fighting.

"General, the general and others are not wrong. There are indeed many children in that team, and these children are not very old!"

The scout's words made An Luying slightly stunned. There were really people taking children to fight. What on earth did they want to do?

However, now is not the time to think about this, as long as you catch up with the other party, everything will be clear!

"Brothers, these people have killed our compatriots. I don't care who they are. Anyone who dares to kill us will die!"

"Dead! Die! Die!"

With a ferocious smile on his face, An Luying waved his hand and said: "Brothers, follow me in pursuit, chop off the heads of those people, and avenge our people!"

Rumble…

The army took action again. Under the leadership of the scouts, they began to pursue along the traces left by Luo Xi and others!

At this moment, Luo Xi and Mo Wuxie were walking on the road with their children. Their speed was so slow that they set off several hours earlier than An Luying, but An Luying eventually caught up with them.

However, Luo Xi, Mo Wuxie and others had already arrived in front of the Yumen Fortress at this time. As long as they took these children into the city, they could fight against the Nanman with peace of mind.

"Stop, who are you?"

When Luo Xi and others were within a stone's throw of Yumen Fortress, a shout came from the wall.

"I am Lin Yunxiao, the commander of the personal soldiers of King Chu Mo Wuxie. I have returned from a secret mission under the orders of King Chu. This is my token. Open the city gate quickly and welcome these children into the city!"

Mo Wuxie couldn't directly reveal his identity, so he could only temporarily borrow Lin Yunxiao's identity. However, what he threw over was his own seal token. As long as the person who kept it was not blind, the city gate would be opened immediately.

Sure enough, after receiving the seal, the face of the general guarding the city changed and he quickly ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome Commander Lin into the city!"

But the moment the words fell, another voice sounded.

"You can't open. Didn't you see that there are Southern Barbarians chasing behind these people? If those Southern Barbarians take the opportunity to attack the city and cause the fortress to fall, can you bear the responsibility?"

This person was Li Yufu, the top administrator of Yumen Fortress. He was a civil servant and timid by nature. Seeing that Luo Xi and others were being pursued by the Southern Barbarians, he was unwilling to risk opening the door.

"Master Li, those southern barbarians are still far away. It's not too late to open the city gate and welcome Commander Lin and others into the city now!"

"It won't work if I say it can't be done. Don't forget that I am the highest officer here. I tell you, I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to open the city gate!"

Li Yufu's cold eyes swept over everyone's face, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city dared not speak out in anger. After all, Li Yufu was the highest officer here.

Li Yufu saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking: "Commander Lin Yunxiao, this is the direct descendant of King Chu's confidants. If he dies here, it will definitely be a good thing for His Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe I can be transferred out of this ungrateful place!"

It turned out that Li Yufu was actually the prince's man, and the prince's family regarded the King of Chu as their great enemy, and they were happy to do anything that could weaken the power of the King of Chu.

As for the King of Chu's investigation afterwards, the prince supported him, and Li Yufu also had an excuse. After all, the Nanman pursuit was true. As for the distance, it didn't matter at all, as long as there were pursuers!

And Li Yufu deliberately delayed like this, An Luying had already led people to kill him, and Luo Xi and others were in danger...
