Since the Zhantu people returned to Mobei, Mobei has fallen into chaos. The pasture became a borderless land, and strength became the standard by which everything was measured, so there was no moment of peace. Every autumn, the Zhantur people would go south to plunder, and the chaotic grassland production was seriously damaged, and the southward plundering of goods became a carnival.

The war with the Yaodong people has not stopped, and An Yun has no energy to deal with the Zhantu people in the north. In order to regain his strength as soon as possible, Xian Guzhong took a defensive position on the northern frontier, relying on the strong walls to resist the attack of the Zhan Turks.

Now, after several years of development, Xian Guzhong believes that the opportunity has come to defeat the Zhan Turks in one fell swoop and achieve stability in the northern frontier. He asked Wu Deli to lead an army of 50,000 from the land of Lao Qin to the north of Yishan, while Bai Zhengzheng led more people to Shifeng City to resist the Yaodong people while waiting for the opportunity to eliminate Gu Chayi's horse team.

A full moon hung high in the sky, and the small village in the depths of Yishan looked particularly peaceful under the moonlight. But the people in the village were not at all at ease. The news of the arrival of the Predator Army filled everyone's hearts with unease.

It was late at night, but Wei Zeng hadn't slept yet, and he took a few guards to patrol around to prevent the Predators from suddenly attacking.

The development of the small village has begun to take shape in the past few years, and although it is very hidden in the mountains, Wei Zeng still built sentry posts and gates on the main traffic roads to prevent danger. Now, all these efforts can finally bring a little comfort to the people in the village.

"You guys are scouting around, and no one is allowed to light a fire in the middle of the night. If the enemy discovers the flames, we will be in for a disaster. The others followed me to the sentry post at the mountain pass, and as long as there were no problems there, everyone could sleep soundly tonight. Wei Zeng finished inspecting all the sentry posts around the village, and with a slight order, he went to the sentry post out of the mountain pass.

Stepping on the mountain path and following the small trees planted in advance, although it was a little dim, Wei Zeng still came to the sentry post at the mountain pass safe and sound.

"Ye Yuan, everything is okay here." Wei Zeng said to Ye Yuan, who had been here for two days.

"During the day there were several groups of enemies coming, but no sign of us was found, and in the middle of the night there were no surprises except for a few campfires in the distance. We're safe now. Ye Yuan replied.

"Very good, everything here is handed over to these people I brought, and it is very hard for you to hold on for a few days, so go back and have a good rest." Wei Zeng said.

"This place is very important, there can be no mistakes, and it is better for me to stay here myself. Dad, you have a lot of things to do, so let's go back early and rest. Ye Yuan said.

"Now that everything is done today, I'll stay here with you all night. Since the arrival of the Predators, our father and son have not spoken any intimate words. Let's chat, and the night won't seem too long. Wei Zeng said.

So everyone else rotated, and Wei Zeng chose to stay here and go back tomorrow. Wei Zeng chatted with Ye Yuan for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't stop yawning, he let him sleep first.

In the second half of the night, the moon sank to the other side of the mountain, and the entire exit of the mountain was black, and the distant grassland was illuminated by the moonlight, revealing a deep dark green.

"What's the dark shadow over there, it seems to be moving, can you see it?" Wei Zeng fixed his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a black shadow moving on the grassland in the distance, but it was not real, so he asked the people around him.

"It seems to be a few people, so it shouldn't be the enemy who is taking advantage of the night to search." The people around him replied.

"There's a fire, it's like someone is robbing, who is going to come here in the middle of the night? You keep watch, and I'll go down and see. Wei Zeng's heart moved, and he decided to go down and investigate.

"Dad, I'll go with you." Ye Yuan woke up passively, and when he saw Wei Zeng preparing to go down the mountain, he picked up his weapon and followed.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and everything looked gloomy, but the distant firelight was particularly dazzling in the night.

Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan lurked towards the firelight. In the quiet night, the shouts and screams, from small to large, filled the ears of two people little by little. When they got closer, it was a team of Zhan Tu people chasing and killing a few people.

"Dare to commit murder on the territory of my Mobei Flying Eagle, are you also impatient?" Seeing this, Wei Zeng did not hesitate, immediately raised the steel battle, shouted, and rushed forward to protect several fleeing people behind him.

At the same time that Ye Yuan rushed forward with Wei Zeng, he also used the firelight to bend his bow and arrows to cover Wei Zeng from being harmed.

"What? This is the chassis of Mobei Flying Eagle! Oops, I remember, a few years ago, more than 5,000 people pursued fugitive slaves, and when they arrived here, they were killed by the Mobei Flying Eagle, and some people also saw the Mobei Flying Eagle coming out to hunt in winter. We're chasing here? Run, everybody! The man shouted, then fled ignoring the others.

When the others heard these words, their hearts were also panicked, and at this time the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black in the distance, and from time to time arrows were shot, and I don't know how many people were hidden. One person fled, and everyone did not want to stay here and fled in all directions.

After scaring off the group of Zhan Tu, Wei Zeng walked over to the attacked. When an old man saw Wei Zeng coming over, he greeted him and thanked him.

"Look at your outfits, it should be Anyun. Why did you come here on such a night? Even the merchants of the past would not pass through here. Wei Zeng asked.

"In Xiagu Ling, I originally took a few people with a family to farm in a small place in the north of Anyun to make a living. It's just that in the past few years, the first Zhan Turks often went south, and then the Iron Blood Army went north to attack. The war is chaotic, and we are disrupted too much to live normally. I thought that Kansai was mountainous and that there was no war, so I wanted to move to Kansai with my family. Unexpectedly, after walking for a few days, he encountered the Northern Expedition of the Iron and Blood Army, and came to the vicinity of Yishan after a circle. We didn't want to get into any trouble, so we hid during the day and dared to walk at night, but we didn't expect to encounter flying trouble. After Gu Ling finished speaking, he looked at his family members who were killed or injured, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you want to go to Kansai? Then you are going the wrong way, you will only reach the depths of Mobei if you follow this road. A hundred miles to the south is the boundary of Kansai. Wei Zeng said.

"So, we've been walking for so many days, and we've all taken the wrong path? Now that we have been attacked by the Occupants again, everything has been looted and burned, and there is really no way out in the future. Gu Ling said sadly.

"It's not a difficult thing for you to make a living if you're just trying to make a living. It's just that it's an eventful time, and I really don't dare to trust outsiders rashly. If you believe me, stay in a place in the mountains, and I can give you something to keep you alive. After the Iron Army has retired, there is no problem if you want to continue to Kansai or join us. Wei Zeng said.

"Do you suspect that we are spies sent by the Predators? My relatives, who were harmed like this by the Occupian people, are they all fake? Seeing that Wei Zeng was suspicious of him, Gu Ling said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I can't take any chances. The Predators are coming at me this time, and I can't just bury a piece of paradise because of a little negligence. If you don't want to come with me, there's some money here, so take it. When you get to a place where there are people, you may be able to buy something useful. Wei Zeng took out a wallet from his arms and handed it to Gu Ling, and then beckoned Ye Yuan to leave.

"I just want to survive with my family in the troubled times, can't I do it at all? General Wei, please stay, Your Excellency is also a heroic figure, and you will not embarrass us little people if you want to come. I'm willing to take my family with you. Please allow us to clean up. Gu Ling thought about it a little, and also understood how people could not bow their heads under the eaves, looking at the family members who were attacked by the Zhan Tu people with desperate faces, they could only accept Wei Zeng's suggestion.

"Dad, they're so pitiful, why can't they just take them to the village? Only by working together can we create a better life. Ye Yuan said with some incomprehension.

"If it was in normal times, it would be natural to take them back directly, but now that the enemy is present, he can't trust any outsiders. Even people who look kind and look pitiful. People's hearts are sinister and have to be guarded against. But I'll do my best to help them survive, that's what I promised. Wei Zeng replied.

The night was silent, and Ye Yuan stepped forward to help these people heal the wounded and bury the dead. Wei Zeng stood motionless, sometimes looking at a few people in the dark night, sometimes closing his eyes and listening to the movement in the distance. Like a shepherd dog, quietly guarding his flock.

The fire dimmed, Wei Zeng led a few people into Yishan, and when it was dawn, they came to a mountain flat a few miles away from the village.

"I'll send someone to help you build a house, and I'll bring you some daily necessities. You can plant something in the open space in front of you, and it won't be a problem to feed a few of you. Until the Predators retreat, you'll be on your own. Wei Zeng first asked Ye Yuan to go back to the village to call someone, and then said to Gu Ling's family.

"Thank you, General Wei, since we are going to live in isolation here from now on, and this money is of no use, please ask General Wei to take it back." Gu Zero said.

"There is a place where the Zhantu people gather five miles to the north, you can exchange this money for some useful things, without the support of others, your life will be much harder, you should keep this money. I still have to say more, don't ask for any news about our village, or I won't be able to help you anymore. Wei Zeng said.

"Your Excellency is really cautious, Mobei Flying Eagle has been able to live unharmed for so many years, and I am afraid it is inseparable from this caution. But I can also see that Your Excellency is genuinely helping us. There are only a few of my family members left, and I just hope that I can live well. Gu Ling said helplessly.

"It's not difficult to live, it's not difficult to live well, as long as you stay away from strife and work hard. These people are your juniors. Wei Zeng said.

"Yes, they're all my juniors. The older man was my eldest son, and my second son and daughter-in-law died last night. The boy is my grandson, who is 12 years old, and the girl is my granddaughter, who is now 10 years old. Gu Ling looked at his relatives who were still alive, with a bit of relief in his eyes, barely able to dilute the sadness of losing his loved ones.

"The troubled world is bitter, and I understand the hardships of losing my parents since I was a child. Although I am very cautious, please trust me this time, as long as you want, you can live a good life in the future. Wei Zeng replied.

Gu Ling nodded, as if his heart was also a little stable because of Wei Zeng's words.

In the days that followed, Wei Zeng was still careful to watch out for the Iron Army, and just took the time to come here to see the fleeing family.

A house was built here, and a few acres of wasteland were planted with some crops, and life was still difficult, but at least there was a little more peace.

It's just that the depths of Yishan are peaceful, but the outside world is not peaceful for a moment. Especially the battle between the five families of Yaodong has added some unstable factors to the Yaodong homeland, which has not been baptized by the war.

Ding Zhuqing is bent on hundreds of iron-blooded troops to realize his ambition of being the master of the world. In the past few years, they have also launched several attacks on the Iron Blood, but because of the secret stumbling of the four gangs, they all ended in failure.

Ding Zhuqing supported the Windrush Regiment on the one hand, allowing the Windrush to gain a lot of power in Guanbei, trying to use the Windrush to prevent the four gangs from expanding to Guanbei. On the one hand, he ceded the land of Xu Huai to the four gangs, but deliberately divided it unevenly and cut it unevenly, just to provoke a fight between the four gangs.

But Yaodong people are very realistic, so realistic that no one wants to do stupid things in the fire. Between the four gangs, there is a fight between the open and the dark, you come and go, and you can use any means. However, the four gangs have maintained a superficial "friendly relationship", and in the face of the challenge of Dejiawei, they have surprisingly acted in unison.

The current situation is that Ding Zhuqing can check and balance the four gangs very well and can maintain the current situation very well. However, it is extremely difficult to concentrate all the forces of Yaodong and carry out foreign wars.

Ding Zhuqing returned to Dejia City, but the worries in his heart did not disappear for a moment, and it was also a very difficult thing to wrest power from the four gangs.

Just when Ding Zhuqing was in trouble, a piece of news came: the old nine-tailed fox warrior of the Fox Worship Sect had passed away, and several nine-tailed fox warriors who were inextricably related to the Fox Worship Sect would go to attend the funeral of the old warrior.

"These four have been at their respective altars for several years, and now they can finally get together. If you don't do it, you won't stop it, and take this opportunity to catch them all. The Fox Worship Sect already exists in name only, so why leave this empty shell to bewitch the world? Let the Fox Worship Sect completely disappear from the world. Ding Zhuqing was ruthless in his heart, and he had decided to completely eradicate the four gangs.

After all, there was inevitably a bloody storm on the land of Yaodong. (To be continued.) )
