Yan Du opened the curtain of the car, and through the rain curtain, he really saw a person lying on the road in front of him.

There is no shop in front of the village here, there are forests on both sides, especially under the rain, drowsy, if you are timid, you are afraid that you will be scared.

Feng Zheng handed over an umbrella, Yan Duan asked Liu Yunxiang to wait in the carriage, and then asked Zijin to stay in front of the carriage, and then got out of the carriage and walked towards the man lying on the ground.

The rain was pouring down, and the man was motionless, probably dead.

When I got closer, I found that it was an old man with gray hair, and his clothes were in tatters, like a beggar.

"Master, I'll move the body to the side of the road, wait for us to go to the town, and then send someone to notify the local government to collect the body." Feng Zheng said.

Yan Dui's mind turned, but he still walked towards the man on the ground, and only stopped when he was a step away. Then the next moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab Yan Dui's clothes.

Yan Dusk had already taken precautions and avoided the situation.

At this moment there was movement in the woods on both sides, and a group of black shadows rushed out, and when they came closer, they saw that it was people in ragged clothes like this old man, with clubs in their hands, and their bodies were thin, and they rushed up.

Yan Du and Feng Zheng glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly retreated to the side of the carriage, and together with Zijin, protected Liu Yunxiang on the carriage, and at the same time pulled out the saber on his body.

These men surrounded the wagon, and there were about forty or fifty people. They stared at them, each with fear and uneasiness in their eyes, but they still moved forward one step at a time.

"Who are you?" Yan Du asked in a deep voice.

The leader was a younger man, about thirty years old, with a stubble on his face, and he pretended to be fierce and said, "Naturally, it's a robber!" ”

"Oh?"

"As long as you leave the carriage and all your belongings, we will not hurt you!"

Yan Dusk narrowed his eyes, and almost no one saw his figure move, and the next moment, he was already in front of the man, and the sword was against his neck. The men were startled and retreated.

The man was also trembling with fright, but he still shouted at the people behind him, "There are only four of them...... Don't be afraid...... Rush forward...... It doesn't matter if I'm dead...... Everybody has to live......"

Hearing this, those who retreated began to move forward again.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Yunxiang opened the carriage curtain, and at the same time took out a bag of dry food, "I don't have much dry food here, whoever of you grabs it will be whoever." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang deliberately threw the dry food out of the way.

However, to her surprise, these people did not rush up to grab it, but sent a teenager to pick it up. Although the boy was so hungry that he swallowed, he didn't take one to eat first.

"Brother Shui, there isn't much dry food." The boy shouted at the man who was being held against him with a knife.

When the man heard this, he looked at Yan Du and them again, "This bit of dry food can't send us away!" ”

At the man's signal, the others continued to move forward, and Feng Zheng and Zijin raised their swords to greet each other.

"Try not to hurt them!" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly instructed.

The two stepped forward, not using swords, only fists and feet, but in the blink of an eye, they had already kicked more than a dozen people to the ground.

Brother Shui's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect them to encounter hard stubble.

"There are a lot of you, but it's easy to kill them all." Yan Du said lightly.

When Brother Shui heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to let those people retreat.

"You run first!"

"Brother Shui!"

"Leave me alone!"

The corners of Yan Dui's mouth twitched, and he put the sword away.

"Alright, I'm not going to kill you. Tell me, who are you? ”

Brother Shui was on guard against Yan Dusk, and first pushed back two steps, feeling safer, before he said: "We were originally the people of Ling'an City, but after being driven out of the city by the Southern Jin Dynasty, we were forced to become homeless. ”

Yan Du frowned, "Wanderers? ”

The Southern Jin Dynasty invaded Ling'an a year ago, and if they were driven out at that time, the tide of displaced people should have spread to the Yangtze River. But along the way, they didn't see the displaced people gathered.

"When were you kicked out of town?"

"The Southern Jin Dynasty invaded Ling'an, burned, killed, looted, and began to drive us out of the city on a large scale after about half a month."

"Why don't you go north?"

"We can't go!"

"Why?"

Brother Shui was about to say when the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and he immediately showed panic.

"Everyone, hide in the woods! Fast! ”

With his voice, these people quickly disappeared into the woods under the rain curtain like a tide, as if they had never appeared except for the footprints left on the ground.

Yan Dusk looked, but saw a group of people coming this way.

He turned his mind, stood by the carriage, and became an inconspicuous little servant again.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at him, and then let Zijin help her get out of the carriage.

The men dismounted a dozen paces away from their armoured armours and walked briskly towards this side.

"Have you encountered bandits?" The leader asked.

Brigand?

Liu Yunxiang was silent and said, "I was blocked by a group of ragged people, but they heard the sound of your horses' hooves and fled in a hurry." ”

The leader looked around and said, "There are a lot of bandits in this area, and they often rob passers-by of money, so you should be careful, and hurry up to the town in front to stay." ”

"Who are you?"

"We are from the Bian Nan military camp."

"That's it." Liu Yunxiang paused, "I want to see your general." ”

Hearing this, the leader looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Who are you, this lady?" ”

"The crown princess."

That night, they still stayed in the town in front, but the soldiers of the Bian Nan military camp guarded the safety.

In the guest room, Zijin put the meal on the table.

Liu Yunxiang gave a bowl of rice porridge to Yan Dui, "Let's eat first." ”

Hearing this, Yan Duan put down the map in his hand, "There are thirteen cities in Lingnan, but the terrain is complicated, from one city to another, sometimes you have to climb through the mountains, sometimes you have to wade through water, sometimes you pass through canyons, and even miasma forests, in case of an emergency military situation, you may not be able to quickly connect into one." ”

"So there is the Bian Nan military camp, which can mobilize the troops of the thirteen cities."

"But after Su Hui lost the first battle, he pulled out the camp and retreated a hundred miles, retreating to the Dongtian Canyon across the miasma forest, and had no intention of recovering Ling'an."

"When I go to the Bian Nan military camp tomorrow, I will know his attitude."

After eating, Xiao Er came in to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"We've seen a lot of inns along the road closed, why is that?" Liu Yunxiang asked the little two.

"It's not the homeless people who make trouble, robbing openly and stealing. Our town is garrisoned by people from the Bian Nan Army, otherwise it would have been chaotic a long time ago. ”

"Why don't you let them into town?"

"These people are shouting and shouting to kill, they are very angry, how dare they let them in."

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask again, but the little second was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out.

She pondered for a moment, looked at Yan Du and asked, "Did you notice anything wrong with the group of homeless people you met in the afternoon?" ”

Zijin grabbed a sentence: "Those soldiers say that they are bandits, how can they look like bandits, they are clearly ordinary people." Forced by hunger, he robbed passers-by. ”

"One more thing, why would they rather starve and stay here than go north." Feng Zheng added.

Yan Du lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "There are no women among these homeless people.
