The sky was slightly bright, Yang Li was in front, Mo Lin and Luo Qianqian were behind, and the three of them took simple bags and went straight to the west gate of the Hundred Soldiers City.
There are already pedestrians on the streets early in the morning, and there are many vendors on the side of the road who come out to set up a morning market, and the aroma of steaming soy milk wafts in the air, making this morning full of market atmosphere.
Mo Lin bought more than a dozen cooking cakes and stuffed them into the baggage as dry food on the road, Yang Li glanced back, his face was extremely gloomy.
"Hurry up, we have to stay away from the Hundred Soldiers City as much as possible before the Xiao family finds out." Yang Li said coldly.
From the time Luo Qianqian told Yang Li that he was leaving, Yang Li had always had this stinky face. Mo Lin vaguely heard them discussing topics such as the relationship between the soldiers and the Mo family, but in the end, Yang Li agreed with Luo Qianqian's decision, and the three of them immediately set off to return to the Mo family.
Mo Lin silently followed Yang Li, feeling a little helpless. Although it was not his intention to offend the Xiao family, it was also a big disaster, and it also affected Yang Li and Luo Qianqian, so he had nothing to say.
The west gate of the Hundred Soldiers City was tightly closed, but the guards in charge of guarding the gate were already standing at the gate, waiting for the order to open the door.
There were already many farmers and woodcutters waiting in front of the city gate, ready to go out of the city to tend to crops or cut wood.
Mo Lin and the three of them mixed in the crowd, Luo Qianqian looked back at the height of the sun, and whispered, "There is still half an hour." ”
Half an hour was in the blink of an eye, and the guards shouted, and several hands pressed together on the long rocker, and shook vigorously. As the joystick turns, the winch drives the noose and slowly pulls the gate open.
The huge and heavy iron door made a creaking sound and slowly opened, and Mo Lin looked up and saw the scene outside the door through the crack in the door.
The crowd was a little sensational, and everyone wanted to get out of the city early, and at this moment, a low horn sounded from the city tower.
The sound of the horn "Woo ......" was heard in my ears, and there was a sad and sad feeling.
With the sound of the horn, the iron door that had been half opened stopped, and the guards stopped their movements and looked at each other, and soon reversed the winch and closed the iron door that had just been opened.
"What's wrong?" Seeing such a sudden change, Mo Lin was very anxious.
"Don't be impatient." Yang Li said in a low voice.
The farmers and woodcutters at the front of the queue were clearly unhappy with the reopening of the gates, and some asked loudly, only to see the guards wielding their weapons, some guarding the gates, others coming to drive the crowd away.
"There is an enemy coming! So leave immediately, or else you will be punished for adultery! One of the leaders of the guards waved his sword and shouted loudly.
Mo Lin and the three of them exchanged glances, and they all showed surprised expressions, who would be so bold to attack the Hundred Soldiers City?
The sound of the horn of "Woo ......" became louder and louder, and it became faster and faster.
In the distance, people dressed as soldiers kept coming, and the people at the city gate also noticed that something was wrong and scattered one after another, lest they be drawn into trouble.
Mo Lin and the three of them retreated dozens of steps with the crowd and took advantage of the chaos to hide in a nearby alley.
"Who will attack the City of Hundred Soldiers?" Mo Lin said suspiciously, he thought that the escape had been discovered, but now it seems that the soldiers are indeed in trouble.
"Could it be those monsters?" Luo Qianqian murmured.
As soon as the words fell, as if to verify Luo Qianqian's words, a howl of a beast sounded in the distance outside the city.
"Woohoo!"
It was as if thousands of beasts were roaring together, and the sound was earth-shattering and creepy. A huge noise covered the sky of the City of Hundred Soldiers, as if the city was completely surrounded by wild beasts.
"Is it really a monster?" Luo Qianqian's face turned pale.
At that moment, a high-pitched human voice rang out, dragging out the roar of the beast.
"Farmer envoy Xu Zhi came to visit ......"

The city gate of the Hundred Soldiers was tightly closed all morning, and Mo Lin and the three of them had to secretly return to the inn, but fortunately, the city was in a panic, and no one noticed their actions.
The situation was still unclear, and the three of them did not dare to separate, so they all gathered in Luo Qianqian's room, waiting for a turnaround.
"I don't know what things will turn out of...... Mo Lin leaned in front of the window, and saw that the Hundred Soldiers City, which was still lively and prosperous yesterday, was suddenly depressed like a dead land with no people, and there was no one on the street.
"Click, click, ......" There was a sound of horses' hooves, and then three one-horned fast horses galloped towards the west gate. Immediately, it was the messenger of the peasant family who went into the city to deliver the news, and this was their fifth round trip. Looking at the relaxed look on their faces, they seemed to be full of confidence in this uninvited appearance.
"Looks like we can't go." Luo Qianqian came behind Mo Lin and looked out the window worriedly.
Mo Lin smiled: "The soldiers are anxious now, and they probably don't have time to take care of me as a little person, so I don't think I need to worry too much." ”
"Why do you think the peasant family suddenly sent people to the city of a hundred soldiers, it already seems like a war." Luo Qianqian changed the subject.
"Who knows......" Mo Lin didn't remember what the soldiers had to do with the farmers, and even if they were, they wouldn't teach this knowledge in the Ink Academy.
The book will only say that the Seven Heroes worked together to help the Broken Dragon Slayer, and now their descendants are thicker than water and love each other, but they never mention the grievances and entanglements between them. Originally, Mo Lin also thought that everything was as harmonious as in the book, but starting from the incident of the meteor wreckage, he felt that it was not the same thing at all.
"Could it be that the words in the Mo family's textbooks are all lies?" Thinking that Zhu Pingman had unceremoniously criticized the Seven Great Families, a certain thought in Mo Lin's heart began to waver.
Yang Li, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Probably because of the dragon slaying dagger." ”
"Dragon Slayer Dagger?" Mo Lin and Luo Qianqian were both startled, looked at Yang Li, and waited for him to continue.
"It was the dragon slaying dagger that the dragon slaying hero used to kill the red dragon, the body of the red dragon was burned all the time, and the dragon slaying dagger was intact, and the seven heroes found it and preserved it. In recent decades, the Seven Great Families have taken turns to keep the Dragon Slaying Dagger for five years, and if you count the time, the soldiers should have sent the Dragon Slaying Dagger to the farmer's house three months ago. Yang Li said lightly.
As soon as he said this, Mo Lin and Luo Qianqian immediately understood, if it was for the sake of slaying the dragon dagger, it would be understandable that the peasant family would make a big move.
"How do you know that?" Mo Lin asked.
"When I came, the giant handed me a secret letter, instructing me to send it to the head of the military family, and the letter should be about this matter." Yang Li said lightly.
The matter involved the task of the ink man, and according to the rules, Mo Lin could not ask again, but his heart was still full of questions.
"Knock knock......" Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Yang Li walked to the door, put his hand on the wolf tooth on his waist, and asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Linghu Zi." Ling Hu Zi's voice came through the door.
Yang Li opened the door, Ling Fox Zi deftly dodged in, and closed the door tightly with his hand.
"You didn't get out." Ling Huzi saw the three of them, and there was no surprise.
Mo Lin briefly told what happened in the morning, and after listening to it, Ling Huzi said: "Now the farmer and the soldier are negotiating, and everything will not have a result until the evening." ”
Mo Lin saw that she was a little uneasy and anxious, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did the farmer come?" ”
Ling Huzi hesitated and said: "It's because of the Dragon Slaying Dagger, the soldier has kept the Dragon Slaying Dagger for five years, and the Dragon Slaying Dagger should have been sent to the farmer's ...... three months ago."
"Then why didn't you send it, do the soldiers want to swallow it?" Yang Li asked coldly.
Ling Hu Zi's face sank: "Of course the soldiers won't do this, there is another reason for this." ”
"What is the reason?" Yang Li asked aggressively.
"Anyway, there is a reason ......," Ling Huzi said with difficulty.
"Good reason, I hope your reason convinces the farmer." Yang Li sneered.
Ling Huzi obviously knew that her answer couldn't convince Yang Li, so she simply ignored him, winked at Molin, and motioned to talk to him alone.
Following Ling Huzi out of the room and coming to his room next door, Mo Lin said, "What's the change?" ”
"The four elders are all negotiating with the envoys of the peasant family in the council hall, and the soldiers have all gone up to the city wall to guard against the siege of the peasant family, everyone is very busy, and it is estimated that there is no time to deal with you." Linghu Zidao.
"So it was the farmer who saved me." Mo Lin smiled bitterly.
"Mo Lin, I know you're unhappy, but there are too many people like the soldiers, and I can't change it." Seeing Mo Lin's unhappiness, Ling Fox said faintly.
"I don't blame you. In this world, only the strong are qualified to decide the life and death of people, and the weak can only be slaughtered by others. Mo Lin thought of the edification of the Mo family.
The Moshi was originally a peace-loving person who believed in both love and non-aggression, but there are all kinds of violence in the world, and in order to maintain peace, the Moji can only use violence to counter violence.
If you want to punish violence, you must have more power than the thugs. Mo Lin had long understood this truth, and all that he had experienced in the soldier's house had strengthened his determination. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will have great power to punish all injustices.
"You're too extreme." Ling Hu Zi was stunned, she felt Mo Lin's mood change.
"It's not extreme, it's the truth. The wolves in the jungle are fierce enough, and if you are an antelope, you can't reason with them. But if you're a tiger, the wolf will do what you want. This is the law of the jungle, and it is used here as well. Mo Lin smiled.
"You've changed......" Ling Hu Zi looked at Mo Lin blankly, wondering how he could become so mature overnight.
Mo Lin didn't know what was wrong with him, every time he had free time to cultivate, Zhu Pingman always instilled such a truth in him. Mo Lin just listened to it casually at the time, but now it seems that those words are hidden in his subconscious, and he will burst out when there is a suitable opportunity.
