The summer nights on the Loess Plain will also be exceptionally cold, and the cold wind will whistle and blow through the narrow valley, gathering the strength of the wind, making the Xishan City located at the mountain pass even colder.

The howling cold wind blew the thin window lattice, making the wooden window lattice, and the roof tiles also kept beating, and the crisp sound really disturbed people's dreams. But the people who live here have become accustomed to it, and Xishan City is immersed in strong winds all year round, and even babies can sleep peacefully in such conditions.

At this time, the mountain behind Xishan City was illuminated by torches. Although it was about to be late at night, the aborigines of Nishiyama Castle, that is, the people of Kyushu, were all pulled down here to do coolies, taking turns mining iron ore day and night. The soldiers of the Red Lotus Country each have a finger-thick iron whip full of disdain, and from time to time they will give a whip to see who is lazy, and they don't care about the life and death of the people who have been imprisoned by them for nearly a month, they can only sleep for two hours every day, eat two meals of coarse noodles, and spend the rest of their time working, whether they are men, women, or children, as long as they can go to the ground, they must work here, and the disobedient disposal is very simple, just throw it in the forest!

However, the soldiers of the Red Lotus Kingdom changed their guard every two hours, so that they could energetically supervise the slaves captured in Kyushu.

When the hour came, the moon hanging high in the night sky was obscured by a dark cloud, and the back mountain was a little darker, leaving only bright torches in the dense forest.

A red-clothed soldier of the Red Lotus Kingdom, because he failed to wait on time for the soldier who took over his post, threw a whip on a woman who had little strength left and was still carrying a basket of iron ore, but still stumbled and persevered. scolded and scolded a local dialect of Red Lotus, and after he finished his anger, he didn't look at it and couldn't stand on the ground, let alone if it was a dead woman. Turning around a large tree, he unbuckled his belt.

When he came back relaxed, he happened to see that the person who replaced him had finally arrived, and he was dissatisfied and didn't know what to scold, so he threw the whip in his hand to the ground, glanced at it casually, and glanced at the woman who had just been whipped by him and had not moved, and turned to leave.

It's just that at the moment when he turned around, the companion behind him suddenly struck, and his thick arms tightly strangled his neck, and he didn't even have a chance to shout, so he could only keep kicking the ground under his feet, and he lost his life after a few strokes.

At this time, a woman with a delicate figure in a strong suit slowly walked out with a group of people who were also dressed in black.

Under the bright red torches, I saw the woman's face clearly, and the big black eyes in her clothes were full of anger, and her anger kept flashing.

Behind her, a strong man hurried to the front and touched the side of the woman's neck, who had long been motionless.

"Girl, this woman still breathes."

"Save people."

"Yes."

The person who came was Shen Xiaoxia. In six days, she led 3,000 soldiers over two mountains, and finally captured the back mountain of Xishan City.

Now waiting for news from the city, Chaoyu and Chaoxue have already entered the city, just waiting for them to return safely, and the plan is already half successful.

"Girl, what are we going to do next?"

"Dig a pit."

The people behind Shen Xiaoxia exchanged glances with each other, then rubbed their hands together and picked up their tools.

After a short silence, the sound of labor began again in the back mountain, but the Red Lotus Army who had already slept in Xishan City did not pay attention to these at all, but slept more peacefully.

The eyes of the people of Kyushu, who were safe, finally brightened, and their eyes lit up with fire and hatred, silently picked up the tools in their hands, and helped the soldiers of Kyushu to start digging pits, although they didn't understand why this young girl, who seemed to be the leader, was going to do something?

But they knew she must have come to them.

As soon as midnight passed, a fire suddenly broke out in Xishan City, and when the Red Lotus Army reacted, it was too late to save it.

The arsonist dressed in the costume of the people of Kyushu ran towards the back mountain in the firelight, and the Red Lotus Army would certainly not let it go when he saw it, and he wanted to divide the bodies of these dishonest slaves immediately.

The general Abel had just fallen asleep after discussing with the military advisor for half a night, when he was awakened by the fire that had burned half of the city, and his heart jumped suddenly again.

"Someone came and took 3,000 soldiers to the mountain and cut down all the cheap slaves, see if they dare to make trouble?"

The military advisor looked at the fiery half of the sky, and his heart kept trembling, he always felt as if he had neglected something? But I just can't think of anything for a while.

At this time, the back mountain, compared to the noisy city, seems to be extraordinarily quiet, the three thousand Red Lotus Army who came to strangle the evil slaves walked into the boundary of the back mountain, looking at the slaves who were still desperately digging iron ore, the corners of their eyes showed a smug smile, suddenly a strong incense wind hung over, and the slaves in front of them who were wearing clothes that could no longer be worn suddenly turned their heads, and the strange smiling faces made the Red Lotus Army immediately realize that they had been fooled, but at this time it was too late.

Looking at the three thousand Red Alliance troops that fell quietly, like a gust of wind, Shen Xiaoxia, who suddenly appeared, smiled slightly.

"The number is just right, everyone changes their clothes."

When the people brought by Shen Xiaoxia changed into the clothes of the Red Alliance, Chao Yu and Chao Xue finally came back, and at the same time hugged their fists at Shen Xiaoxia, looking at their smug smiling faces and the shining light in their eyes, they knew that their plan had succeeded.

Now just wait for the sun to rise.

The sun in the west gradually rose from the horizon, and the Red Lotus Army, which had been busy all night in Xishan City, finally controlled the fire, and finally beat down the city, they didn't want to give up so easily, especially since there was still a large amount of iron ore here, which was exactly what the Red Lotus Kingdom needed at this time.

The Red Lotus Army, who had been busy all night, had a dry mouth, and looked at the already muddy well water, and couldn't help but complain, but he still couldn't help but feel thirsty and drank the water from the well.

When the military advisors of the Red Lotus Army reacted, it was already too late.

"Quick, call the military doctor quickly, see if this well water is poisonous?"

Since the slaves who have been mixed in the city to set fires are very likely to poison the well water, the military advisors of the Red Lotus Kingdom are very careful.

The military doctor soon arrived, and soon found out that the well water was really poisoned, but it was a simple croton, or a laxative, each well was different, and there were all kinds of things, but they were all small poisons that could not be put on the table, and they were easy to solve.

After receiving the news, Abel did not hesitate to praise the military advisor.

"Fortunately, the military master is clever, I didn't want to bring the group of captives in the back mountain to be so ignorant, it is estimated that they have all died now, and they are only to blame for being too dishonest."
