Zhao Shuang and the others returned to Lanfeng County with the human skin warriors of the Xiwu Kingdom, which really scared Zhao Mochen a lot.

If you encounter such an enemy, there is simply no hope of victory.

Fu Ning said: "Look at the route of the Xiwu army, it is from the Blue Mountain Gap, straight to the east, and eastward in the territory of Ping County. Lanfeng County is in the south of Ping County, as long as the Xiwu army turns south, it will enter Lanfeng County. According to the tactics, Xiwu will not go east all the way to the east and go deep into Tianhong's abdomen, but will occupy all the places around the gap, and then advance east in turn. ”

Zhao Mochen wiped his sweat and said, "That is, our Lanfeng County will definitely be involved in the war?" ”

No one spoke.

Lord Zhao worked hard for two years to save Lanfeng County from drought and famine, and still had a bumper harvest, so that the people of Lanfeng County could avoid becoming homeless, and finally waited until it snowed heavily.

But when war comes, is the fate of the displaced people inevitable?

Fu Ning said: "Lord Zhao can mobilize the people of Lanfeng to retreat into the Blue Mountain in the southwest first, where there are some villages in the valley, the mountain pass is narrow, and it can be guarded, as long as the soldiers of Tianhong Kingdom drive away the invading army of Xiwu Kingdom, everyone can go home." ”

Zhao Mochen nodded and said: "This is a good way, as soon as the morning dawns, mobilize the people and retreat to the southwest Blue Mountain." ”

Zhao Mochen reported the news to Pinglan Mansion overnight, and the next day mobilized the people of the county to retreat to the Blue Mountains in the southwest.

The people were eating sweet potatoes in their warm homes with the stove in their arms, comfortably waiting for the winter to pass, but suddenly they heard that the Xiwu Kingdom was calling and was going to hide in the mountains, and they panicked.

After struggling in their hearts, some decided to believe Lord Zhao, packed up their things, dragged their families to follow Lord Zhao's arrangement, and retreated to the Blue Mountain.

There are still some people who can't believe this news at all, okay, why did the Xiwu Kingdom suddenly attack Tianhong. And there was no news at all before, the house was comfortable, and it was a snowy day, and you can imagine how uncomfortable it was to live in the mountains, so they didn't leave.

In every village, there are people who leave, and there are people who choose to stay.

In Willow Village, Xiuxiu, who got the news, immediately packed up her belongings and retreated to the Blue Mountains with the messengers who came to organize.

Half of the villagers in Willow Village left, half stayed, refusing to give up their warm homes.

The villagers who stayed behind were also very careful, and some even hid in cellars, sending people out carefully every day to see if there was no Xiwu army.

Three days passed, and the tense nerves of the villagers gradually relaxed, and some even began to go out as usual.

On the morning of the fourth day, the landlord of Liushu Village wore a thick cotton coat and rolled his sleeves, walked out of the house, and met a wealthy family in the south of the village, and the two greeted and chatted:

"The army of the Western Witch Kingdom has not yet come?"

"Haha, Lord Zhao is good anywhere, it's just a bit of a catcher, until now I haven't heard of Xiwu Kingdom attacking Tianhong Kingdom's Xin'er, I have a nephew who is from Pingxian, if Pingxian was attacked, he would have run to my house to flee."

As he spoke, the landlord glanced at the entrance of the street and saw something in the shape of a man, but his eyes, nose, and mouth were hollow, like a human skin, but he could walk and walk towards him.

The landlord pointed to the thing in disbelief and said, "That, that...... What's that? ”

The rich man in the south of the village faced the landlord, his back to the thing, and he was just about to turn around to see what made the landlord so frightened, and suddenly felt a pain in his waist.

The landlord watched as the skin-like humanoid thing stabbed the rich man in the back of the heart with a knife, pierced through the knife and drew the knife, and the rich man's blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground, and the blood dyed the large snow on the ground red.

The landlord tried to run away, and the knife pierced his chest.
