Small town
As Mu Chongshan said, whether Mu Qingfeng agreed or not, they all had to set off today, but Mu Qingfeng agreed to go with them, which should be regarded as a great gain.
"Shizi, are we going to go directly to Rongcheng?" Yan Lu is a person who can't be idle, now that he knows Mu Qingfeng's identity, he can't control his mouth, in fact, his performance is excusable, Yan Lu is a rough man, and he doesn't know those things like slapping whiskers and horses, so when Zhan Yu came to the camp of Xiling Iron Cavalry for the first time, seeing that he didn't understand anything and liked to give orders, Yan Lu hated this unlearned and unskilled gentleman in his heart, so he gave him a look everywhere, if it weren't for his identity, I'm afraid Yan Lu would have done it directly, once upon a time, After fighting side by side with Mu Qingfeng, Yan Lu also imagined that the son of his family would be a young talent like Mu Qingfeng, who knew that the world was impermanent, and his blind dreams actually became true, so although the military situation in Xiling was a little urgent, he was not panicked at all.
"General Yan, what's the situation in Rongcheng now? Can the city defense withstand the attack of the army of King Nanyue, and what is the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city? "Although it is right away, this does not prevent Mu Qingfeng from asking about the current situation, Rongcheng, where the Lingwang Mansion is located, he has never set foot in it, and it is better to know it thoroughly before making a decision.
"Well, Shizi, my old Yan has spent a lot of time in the barracks, and I really don't know these problems very well." Yan Lu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he couldn't answer the first question asked by the prince.
"Childe, the Rongcheng in Xiling has been carefully prepared by the prince for so many years, and there will definitely be no problem if you think about it, but it's hard to say about the military heart, the prince has just been captured, and Zhan Yu and the princess are nowhere to be found, plus General Yan and I came to Beiyan for help, I'm afraid that if Nanyue's army really comes to the city, it will be difficult to hold on for ten days." Mu Chongshan is very clear, after all, he has been in Rongcheng for so many years, although he is not there now, but he still knows it well.
"Brother. Do you think we'll be able to meet that old thing this time? Thinking that he caused the whole village to be killed for his own selfish desires, I couldn't help but want to strangle him myself! The dog slightly clamped the horse's belly and rushed to Mu Qingfeng's side.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to meet him in a short time, if my guess is correct, he must be taking King Ling to hurry to the capital now, and it is impossible for him to show up until he is absolutely safe." Mu Qingfeng's guess was not bad at all, the current Zhan Yuan Xu was taking the Lingwang Zhanyu Frontier to abandon the carriage and go to the capital from the waterway.
Although he knew his identity, Mu Qingfeng still couldn't forgive King Ling for letting his mother go to the territory alone, so he had never called King Ling's father until now, and neither Mu Chongshan nor Yan Lu cared about this matter, after all, Mu Qingfeng had already recognized the identity of the son, and the rest of the problems would be left to time to solve.
In the remaining few days, everyone was almost non-stop, fortunately, Xue Lian'er and the three girls were not weak women, otherwise such a high-intensity rapid march was really unbearable, but Rao was so, everyone was also a little exhausted, but fortunately, after a few days of hurrying, they finally arrived at the boundary of Xiling.
Originally, everyone was going to breathe a sigh of relief, but the smoke of the town in the distance that had not yet dissipated cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and it was obvious that this small marginal town had just been slaughtered by the army of Nanyue Wangfu.
What Mu Qingfeng hates most is that the army vents its anger on civilians, as long as he encounters such an army, Mu Qingfeng has always been ruthless, the Green Wolf Clan was like this back then, the rebels in Daliang Prefecture were like this, and the Japanese army that had just repelled was also like this.
After everyone arrived in the town, they found that the actual situation was even worse than they thought, the whole village was full of ruins, and there was hardly a complete house, judging from the messiness of the house, these people must have taken away all the valuable things, but what made Mu Qingfeng and the others curious was why no one could see it, could it be that the army of King Nanyue took all the people away?
These ordinary people obviously can't bring any substantial help to the army, so when Mu Qingfeng hasn't figured out where they are going, a bamboo arrow comes towards Mu Qingfeng's front door, Mu Qingfeng is still thinking about the whereabouts of the townspeople, and he doesn't pay attention to the danger of coming, but don't worry, Mu Qingfeng has too many good hands around him now.
I saw ** kite like a flower butterfly, stretched out his jade hand and grabbed the bamboo arrow firmly in his hand, seeing that someone was planning to hurt his brother, ** kite was unceremonious, and directly threw the bamboo arrow back with his own plain hand, just where the arrow shot out of his own is clear to see clearly, the broken wall on the right is obviously hiding people.
**The kite is worthy of being the former three saints of the Meiyin Pavilion, and the kung fu of the hidden weapon is almost no longer under the chess fairy Zhuo Rongyue, only to hear a poof, it is obvious that the bamboo arrow has been inserted into the body, but what everyone didn't expect was that it was actually a child's cry of pain.
At Mu Qingfeng's signal, Yan Lu walked quickly to that place, and after a while, a young boy appeared in front of the middle school, with the bamboo arrow just shot by the third girl on his right shoulder.
Seeing that his blow actually hit a little boy, the three girls' faces were a little unbearable. I just deliberately left some strength in order to catch a living, but I didn't expect that it was not the army of King Nanyue, but a child, and it was obvious that he was a resident of this town.
The little boy who was held in Yan Lu's arms didn't cry, you must know that his right shoulder was pierced by the bamboo arrow of the three girls, it is hard to imagine that such a little boy can actually hold back, and although his right hand can't move, he is still hitting Yan Lu's black face with his left hand, it is estimated that if Mu Qingfeng is not staring at him, Yan Lu will definitely beat this kid well.
"Boy, are you from here? What about the rest of your family? Mu Chongshan asked.
"Sorry, dog thief, you have the ability to kill me, otherwise I will definitely avenge my father and mother, if you don't shoot you today, this dog thief is your fate, sooner or later, the King of Ling and the army of Xiling will avenge us!" The little boy was thrown to the ground by Yan Lu, who was a little annoyed, but he didn't mean to give in at all.
Obviously, the little boy regarded Mu Qingfeng and his party as Nanyue's army, and Mu Qingfeng and the others knew that there would definitely be a battle this time, so they were all fully armed, and they didn't expect to be mistaken by someone.
What else did Mu Qingfeng have to say, but he didn't expect Xue Lian'er to come out directly, it seems that being beautiful has an innate advantage, and it is simply a kill for all ages. Seeing = the beautiful Snow Lotus walking in front of him, although the little boy's eyes were still full of anger, at least he didn't scold.
"Little brother, sister will help you pull out the arrow first, if it takes a long time, the arm will be useless, bear with it, it will hurt a little." Xue Lian'er didn't explain the identity of her group, but just took out the medicine from her arms.
Although the little boy didn't speak, but his clenched fist slowly put down, it seems that the person in front of him is indeed not the army of those beasts, otherwise his head would have fallen to the ground by now, just when he was still wondering where these people came from, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he didn't have time to cry out again, and a cool feeling instantly began to spread all over his body from the place of the wound, and the wound medicine of Wanchun Valley was really different.
"Okay, as long as you pay more attention to rest, don't exert yourself for a short time, and take a break for a month." Xue Lian'er carefully used her handkerchief to bandage the little boy's wound.
"Thank you, sister, I'm sorry, I thought you were those bad people, that's why I hid behind the wall and shot you with a bow and arrow." Xiao Nanye is not a fool, after all this, of course he knows that these people in front of him are not enemies.
"Okay, sister, accept your apology, can you tell me what happened?" Xue Lian'er gently pulled the little boy up and carefully patted the dust off his body.
The little boy saw the gentle fairy in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his mother, after all, he was still a child, after hiding for such a long time, where could he still hold back his tears, and plunged directly into Xue Lian'er's arms, crying almost breathlessly.
Mu Qingfeng motioned for the people around him to disperse and look for any clues, after all, judging from this kid's performance, I'm afraid he won't get any useful clues for a while.
When the little boy finished crying, Mu Qingfeng knew that two days ago, a team passed through this town, they were indiscriminate, they came to burn, kill and loot, their parents saw that the form was not good, and they hid themselves in the hole of the house to escape, today they were really hungry and couldn't stand it, so they came out and wanted to eat early, who knew that when they saw Mu Qingfeng and his party in full arms, they thought that those bad guys were back again, so there was the scene just now.
After the little boy finished speaking, he looked a little tired, the pain on his body and the experience of the past two days had exhausted his energy early, and seeing that he was temporarily safe, he actually fell asleep in Xue Lian'er's arms.
Soon, except for Mu Chongshan, the other explorers returned, and as expected, there were ruins everywhere, and none of the people in the town could be found. Although Mu Chongshan hadn't come back yet, Mu Qingfeng didn't think that he had any accidents, after all, looking at the entire Great Xia, there were too few people who could hurt him, and he must have found something unusual.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mu Chongshan to come back with a blushing face, and before everyone could speak, he said to Mu Qingfeng: "Childe, do you still remember how the rebels in Daliang Prefecture dealt with the people who were unwilling to rebel with them?" ”
Hearing this inexplicable words, the others didn't know what was going on, but Mu Qingfeng's face turned blood-red.
"Mass grave!!" Mu Qingfeng said word by word, gritting his teeth.
