Outside Tiansheng City, in Xiaohe Village, Steward Yang was sweating profusely and dragging a charred body back to the camp of the Yang family's caravan.

"Old Yang, what did you do to come back?" a strong man with a full face stood in the middle of the camp and asked with a disgusted expression.

"Zhou Dezi didn't want to help the injured young man he met on the road, so I asked him to go to the city gate alone to investigate the situation. Putting Qin Sixteen on the ground, Steward Yang gasped.

"Oh, thankless old thing, you are responsible for this person, we won't care. The cheeky man snorted coldly, sat back down by the campfire, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

It seemed that he was accustomed to the domineering attitude of a strong man, and Steward Yang didn't care much about it, so he put a pot of water beside Qin Sixteen, and went into the village alone to find the barefoot doctor.

The fire in the distance was monstrous, the city gate was still burning, and the caravans stationed outside the three city walls in the east, west, and north also sent people to investigate one after another.

It didn't take long for more than a hundred people to gather outside the South City Gate, all watching from afar, and no one dared to approach. The sound of gossip resounded in the crowd, and everyone expressed their opinions.

"This fire is burning like this, and there is no one in sight, and I can't even hear the movement of the killing, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, Xiao Laosi, do you dare to step forward to explore the situation?"

"Pi Zhuzi, do you want to trap me? I am really blind when I am grandpa, now that I am close to the city gate, I really have to walk a few steps and enter the range of falcon arrows, and the bow and crossbow of the forbidden army will not shoot grandpa and me into skewers!"

"It's not a way to shout and gather here, someone still has to take the lead and take a closer look, even if it's really going to be a war, we have to prepare early. ”

"Yes, I haven't heard any news, how can I go back and explain to the owner?"

“......”

The noisy arguments continued, and at last a team of six people was born, under the auspices of several elderly merchant guards, and everyone present gave them a few pieces of silver, which was regarded as the so-called "life money".

The southern gate had been burned by flames, and the flames that had lost their attachments were gradually extinguished, and the five young guards, led by the captain, carefully approached the city with wooden shields in hand.

Along the way, unexpectedly, they were not attacked by the forbidden army on the city wall, and they did not even see a single arrow feather. Finally, the team reached the gates of the city, and there were only a few bits of fire left, but the smoke was still billowing and it was difficult to get close.

The leading guard came from the caravan of the Cao family in Lunan City, because there were three scars on the left side of the face, so he was also called the three scars.

Walking to the edge of the city gate, the three scars made a gesture, signaled the team members behind him to stop, turned around and whispered: "Brothers, let's go back like this, the smoke is too thick, just say that you can vaguely hear soldiers fighting in the city." ”

Although the people on the road say that he is a madman who wants money and wants to die, if he is really a madman, can he still live until now?

"Everyone has already got the money, and they also saw that we walked to the city gate, and went back directly to fool around, if we really go in, everyone may not have the life to come out. The three scars whispered with a gloomy face, as the leader, he had the most commission.

The guards behind him trembled and nodded, everyone was a person who cherished their lives, although they were greedy for money, but no one wanted them to risk their lives to enter the city.

Several people quickly reached a consensus, holding a wooden shield in their hands, still facing the city gate, and began to slowly retreat. But before he had taken two steps back, a strange sound burst out, and an abrupt cry sounded in the silent four fields.

"Thirsty ......"

The three scars in front of Zou frowned, stopped, turned his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make a sound, you have attracted the forbidden army, and everyone is in danger." ”

The face of the three scars was still very intimidating, and the guards in the back of the line shook their heads when they saw the hideous face looking at them, indicating that it was not themselves.

Seeing that no one admits it, the three scars don't plan to investigate deeply, just warn about this kind of thing once, and now it's important to save your life first, who knows if there will be a cold arrow on the city wall that will suddenly attack.

"Thirsty...... Hungry ......"

There was another abrupt voice, echoing in the ears of the three scars, this time he was really a little angry, turned his head, looked at his teammates behind him viciously, and said in a fierce voice: "I don't care if you are thirsty or hungry, who is not honest, start to calm down, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

The rest of the guards all showed a blank look in their eyes, and shook their heads again, indicating that it was not their noise, and even they felt that it was the three scars in front of them, and they were crying thirst and hunger there, in order to blackmail them.

"Hungry...... Hungry ......"

"Thirsty...... I'm thirsty......"

"Ah...... Ahhh......h

A few more faint shouts rang out all around, and the three scars kept their heads turned, confronting the five guards with wide eyes, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads when they heard the movement.

The smoke at the city gate began to fade, revealing some of the city's interior, but the three scars couldn't see it now, or he didn't dare to look at it.

A noise came from the city gate, and a small guard of the caravan fainted directly, and the other four were no better, all of them were trembling, their eyes were dilated, and two of them were peeing their pants.

The shouts became clearer and clearer, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, something was approaching his side, and the three scars swallowed their saliva, and they also made a decision immediately.

He held up a wooden shield, protected the back of his head, pushed away several young guards who were standing stupidly in the way, and rushed directly in the direction he came. It doesn't matter what is moving, run away first.

All the while, the three scars didn't look at the city gate again, and although the noisy footsteps and oozing shouts made him care, he wasn't stupid enough to look for excitement when he was in danger.

"Ahh......h

"Food...... Give me ...... food."

"My hand...... Hand...... What?"

“......”

The wild run of the three scars continued, and he was still holding a wooden shield in one hand to protect the back of his head, but at this time he had no scruples at all, let go of his hands, and ran up as if he was dead, and the wooden shield used to prevent the hidden arrow from saving his life had long been thrown by him.

Because he found that although he was getting farther and farther away from the city gate, the screams he heard in his ears became clearer and clearer, and all kinds of human voices continued to invade his ears, miserable and sad, as if thousands of people had gathered at the city gate to cry out to him in unison.

He couldn't care about the lives of his teammates for a long time, and now he just wanted to run back to the caravan's camp, ride his horse, and gallop back to his hometown. He didn't want any guards, no commissioners.
