There were no surprises that night.

If there is anything, it is that Yang Che fell asleep leaning on the trunk of the tree at some point.

He woke up at dawn to see that the campfire was still burning and the others were still asleep.

When did you fall asleep...... Could it be that Shen Fengjiu has been adding firewood to the bonfire at night?

Yang Che stood up and moved his muscles.

Shen Fengjiu seemed to be always awake, and raised his eyes to look at Yang Che: "You are awake." ”

Yang Che nodded.

Shen Fengjiu stood up: "I'll be back soon." With that, he quickly disappeared.

When Lu Zhaoling and An Nian woke up, the cat Xiaohua also yawned and stretched, and Shen Fengjiu returned to the camp with a bag of fish.

Xiaohua immediately rushed to Shen Fengjiu's side, rubbing his legs and "meowing" non-stop, looking up at the fish in his hand.

There is a creek nearby, and Shen Fengjiu went to catch fish.

Yang Che knew it in his heart.

"You really like to eat fish." Lu Zhaoling said with a smile.

According to the plan, they will next climb over the mountain in front of Fu'an Township, and their lunch will be settled in the mountain. Looking at Shen Fengjiu's appearance, he couldn't wait to eat Lu Zhaoling's grilled fish.

They simply packed their bags, put out the campfire, and prepared to set off for the mountains.

A few people left the forest and returned to the official road. Lu Zhaoling glanced at it inadvertently, and found that the approximate location behind him was in Fu'an Township, and there were several billowing black smoke.

"What's the matter, the village is on fire?" Lu Zhaoling frowned.

Yang Che also glanced back a few times, and said in a deep voice: "The black smoke is very thick, and the fire is still burning." ”

"Let's go and see." Lu Zhaoling said urgently.

"What about An Nian?" Yang Che glanced at the little boy who was following Lu Zhaoling.

If something happens to that village, I'm afraid he will be in danger if I take An Nian over......

What to do?

Lu Zhaoling was worried about An Nian, and he was anxious about the fire in Fu'an Township.

"I'll hide myself!" An Nian took the initiative to say, "I'll go back with you, if there is danger, I'll find a place to hide when it's close, and wait for you to come back." ”

Lu Zhaoling hesitated for a moment, and there was no better way, so he nodded in agreement.

Several people immediately turned their horses' heads and ran towards Fu'an Township.

After walking a short distance, I saw the grand fire in the village.

Lu Zhaoling saw from a distance that there were people running back and forth in the village, and he could faintly hear people's wails.

She grabbed the horse's belly and hurried to it.

When the distance was closer, Lu Zhaoling realized that things were not so simple.

This was not a simple misfire, there were people in the firelight chasing and slashing villagers with swords.

Is it a bandit? Come out in the blue sky and day to kill people and set fires, so arrogant?!

They descended the official road, approached quietly from one side of the forest, and came to the outside of the village.

The scene in the village is finally clearly unfolding in front of everyone's eyes.

A group of vicious bandits were slashing the people in the village, and someone chased a woman who ran away with a child in her arms, stabbed the child and the woman through, and then let out a burst of excited laughter.

There was a hellish scene in the village, which made Lu Zhaoling stunned in place.

Even if it is a mountain bandit robbing a village, it doesn't have to be like this...... Make a clean sweep of......

Lu Zhaoling had never seen such a sinister world.

Yang Che had never seen such a scene, he looked at Lu Zhaoling: "What should I do?" ”

There were so many of them that there were almost no escapees in the village.

Lu Zhaoling's eyes were a little red, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Absolutely can't let them go." ”

After speaking, Lu Zhaoling pulled out his scimitar and rushed out.

Shen Fengjiu followed.

Yang Che no longer hesitated and followed.

The thugs in the village have almost slaughtered all the villagers in Fu'an Township, and now they are walking back and forth in the village one by one, with an unfinished bloody impulse, trying to find the fish that have slipped through the net.

Lu Zhaoling stared at the villain who had just killed a mother and son in front of her eyes, rushed behind him in the blink of an eye, and slashed at his back without hesitation.

The man screamed and fell to the ground.

Immediately, other thugs noticed the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest, and surrounded him with weapons.

"What people! Dare to go against the grandpa?! The nearest person roared wildly, and swung a big axe in his hand and slashed at Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling's footsteps were swaying, he easily dodged a blow, flashed to the back of this man, and also slashed at his back with a scimitar.

Yang Che also fought with the villains who surrounded him, and during this time, he couldn't help frowning when he caught a glimpse of Shen Fengjiu.

Shen Fengjiu always followed Lu Zhaoling from far away, but never took the initiative to make a move.

There were more and more villains gathered, and Yang Che gradually couldn't resist it, and fought and retreated.

But Lu Zhaoling seemed to be crazy, and he kept fighting in the formation.

Shen Fengjiu finally made a move and helped Lu Zhaoling resist several dangerous attacks. When Lu Zhaoling still wanted to rush forward, Shen Fengjiu suddenly grabbed her, cleared the surroundings with a few palms, and took advantage of this moment to take advantage of the break to pull out the soft sword on her back and stuff it into Lu Zhaoling's hand.

A thug quickly rushed up again, and in a flash of lightning, Shen Fengjiu held Lu Zhaoling's soft sword hand and slashed towards the man's neck.

The man froze in place, a stream of blood spurting from his neck, and fell to the ground.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the bloodstained soft sword in her hand and the dead man who fell in front of her, she didn't move for a while, and her body trembled slightly.

"I taught you swordsmanship, and it was used to kill people." Shen Fengjiu said lightly in Lu Zhaoling's ear, "Kill, or you will die." ”

After speaking, he let go of his hand, took two steps back, and looked at Lu Zhaoling coldly, obviously not planning to make another move.

A drop of blood dripped from the soft sword in Lu Zhaoling's hand.

The next person is just around the corner.

Lu Zhaoling felt that everything around her had slowed down a lot, and she could hear her own heavy gasps, once, twice.

There was another thug in front of him, his wielding machete was stained with fresh blood, and he slashed at Lu Zhaoling with a hideous face.

If you don't kill them, you won't be able to protect your comrades and your homeland.

She suddenly remembered what Li Yu had said to her.

The villain's machete is close at hand.

Lu Zhaoling's footsteps moved slightly, and the soft sword in his hand slashed lightly.

Bright blood spurted from the neck of the knife-wielding thug, splashing on Lu Zhaoling's white and smooth cheeks.

If this is what must be done to carry out chivalry......

Lu Zhaoling looked at the blood dripping from the sharp weapon as thin as a cicada's wings.

If that's the only way to protect something......

She raised her hand, and the soft sword reflected a sharp cold light in the morning sun.

Then I can only ...... End your lives.

She closed her eyes briefly.

A strong wind swept in her ears.

She opened her eyes and dodged, the soft sword in her hand slicing decisively and precisely through the throat of her attacker.

There is such cruelty and ugliness in the world that it must be erased.
