The news of Canghai Tower soon spread to the nearby city and even the wilderness area.

At this time, it was the time of natural disasters, and at the border of the demon barbarians, there were many human races who were in danger and went deep into the hinterland of the demon clan in search of food.

At this moment, on a backhill slope in the wilderness, there used to be a lush and lush scene of vegetation, but now only the trunks of the trees have been stripped of their bark, and the dry and fragile branches of the trees.

On the hillside, a group of people dug the ground and created a thin layer of floating soil.

Then, a group of people dipped their fingers in some droplets of water mixed with mud, kneaded the white floating soil a few times, formed a random ball, and stuffed it into their mouths.

This is the Guanyin soil that can save people from fire and water in times of crisis.

These people's bellies bulge slightly, their eyes are numb, and their mouths chew mechanically.

After swallowing all the Guanyin soil into his stomach, someone straightened up with difficulty, and said slightly with white lips, "Have you heard?" The Canghai Tower of the Demon Clan was ransacked. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was slightly commotionous.

"Who did it?"

"I heard...... It was made by the two princesses of Daqian. ”

Hearing this, the originally lifeless crowd suddenly gained a trace of energy.

Among these people, many people were wearing the clothes of the Northern Regions military households, but these clothes were already in tatters.

In the silence, I don't know who suddenly said, "Why don't we go to them......"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused.

The person who spoke earlier was a woman with a unique appearance in the Northern Regions.

Her face was slightly dark, because of long-term malnutrition, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and the whole person seemed to be thin as if only the bridge of her nose and deep eyes remained.

She stood up, looked at everyone, paused slightly, and continued, "Now the demon barbarians have taken advantage of this natural disaster to repeatedly violate my great cadres. Daqian's interior is in turmoil, rather than being the lackeys of those demon barbarians, it is better to defect to the two princesses, at least to win an orthodox name. ”

Someone in the crowd hesitated, "But they're just women!" ”

The woman sneered, "Woman? What about women? In this world where people live like dogs, what men do, women can do too! ”

With that, the woman picked up the sword at her waist and strode away.

The other side.

Zhu Mingshu and others have already trekked through mountains and rivers and come to a small mountain village on the border.

Because this small mountain village is located in the part of the alluvial fan in front of the mountain, there is still surplus grain.

It's just that when Zhu Mingshu and the others came, there was a group of mountain bandits, sitting in the ancestral hall of the small mountain village.

The bandit had a beard and a fierce appearance, and held a saber with a notch in his hand.

He swept his eyes, and a gangster aura spontaneously emerged, "In this world, it is not easy for everyone." I can't help it, there are wolves in front of me and tigers in the back, and I finally met a treasure land that has not yet run out of ammunition and food, and I should also think about my hungry brothers. ”

"Every household, pay 50 catties of fine grain, 200 catties of coarse grain, today's business, this is the end."

Hearing this, the villagers' faces changed suddenly.

Where is this food, it is clearly their lives!

In one corner of the crowd, two young girls and children, one large and one small, stood in place.

Song Lanyi raised her head slightly and gestured with her eyes:

Sister, do you want to make a move now?

Zhu Mingshu looked at her and shook her head slightly.

She seemed to see Song Lanyi's incomprehension, touched her head, her eyes were slightly condensed, and she said:

"Ah Chan, my sister knows that you are afraid that the mountain bandits will hurt people and affect the innocent. But there is a good saying, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. Only when the mountain bandits show their force, and we continue to suppress them together, can we set an example for the chickens and monkeys and gain a firm foothold. ”

Song Lanyi pursed her lips and didn't speak.

She understands that.

It's just that maybe she is a fellow human race, or maybe she is a disciple of the Medicine Dao, she still subconsciously chooses to save people in Liwei and saving people.

But it's not the best option in troubled times.

Song Lanyi stood beside Zhu Mingshu and said nothing.

Sure enough, when the village chief stood up tremblingly and said that there was not so much food, the face of the mountain bandit leader suddenly changed, and even the scar on his brow trembled by three points.

He clenched the saber in his hand and gritted his teeth, but unexpectedly, he seemed to think of something, glanced deeply at the village chief, and then waved his hand resolutely, "Let's go!" ”

Behind him, there was a tall, thin man like a bamboo pole.

He was stunned and raised his voice, "Big brother? Just gone? ”

The leader of the horse bandits exhaled heavily, and said only one word, "Go!" ”

He said resolutely, even if the many mountain bandits below had opinions, they could only walk away.

However, at this time, the man who was as thin and tall as a bamboo pole flashed with a fierce light in his eyes, and his sword was unsheathed!

Zhu Mingshu and Song Lanyi glanced at each other, and without words, Song Lanyi's figure turned into a shadow like a black snake and galloped forward.

And Zhu Mingshu took a step forward, just blocking all the villagers behind him.
