Chapter 13 The Beacon Rises

It was about noon when the door to the firewood room was finally opened.

Sinnan holds a clay kettle filled with cold vegetable soup and a few cakes.

These foods are similar to what people eat in ordinary China.

Xinnan loosened the ropes from several people and walked out.

The Rong people didn't care about anything else, and let go of their bellies and ate them.

"This Xin again, I also know that Lao Tzu has a full meal."

Wooden Walk Day Road.

"Xiao Wang, we might as well ......"

Fox Moroku said in a low voice.

Mu Xingri stopped eating and looked outside.

Xinnan and the boy were eating not far from the door.

"If you look for an opportunity, you must sneak out and tell my brother about Xin and reinforcements!"

"Okay!"

The people quickly ate their fill, and went back to sleep as if nothing was wrong.

Xin Nan outside the door was also full at the moment.

"Xiao Wu, I'll go to the latrine, and you're here to watch them."

Sinnan Road.

Before Xiao Wu could answer, Xin Nan left the courtyard of the township school.

"Cut! It's definitely going to be lazy again. ”

Xiao Wu glanced at Xin Nan, then walked over and closed the door of the firewood house directly.

"If you're lazy, I won't? It's been a long time since I've had a sun like this......"

Xiao Wu stretched his waist and sat down at the door.

"Xiao Wang...... Here's the opportunity......"

Fox Moroku said in surprise.

Mu Xingri waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll try ......"

He walked over to the door and gently pushed it open.

There was a snoring sound outside the door.

As soon as Xiao Wu sat down, he fell asleep.

Mu Xingri tiptoed out of the firewood room, and then waved at the others.

Everyone quietly slipped out of the firewood room, and Fox Moliu also tried Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu turned over impatiently and continued to sleep.

"Hehe, we must tell the eldest brother the news that Xinyi's reinforcements have arrived!"

Mu Xingri said in a low voice.

"But how do we slip out? Outside are all Chinese people from Xinyi. ”

Fox Moliu's worries are not unreasonable.

It was noon, and many Chinese were still working outside.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers from outside the township.

"Hah!"

"Hey!"

Mu Xingri came to a corner of the township school, motioned for everyone to build a ladder, and climbed to the corner.

"Kill !!"

"Oh my god......"

Mu Xingri was so frightened that he almost fell.

"Outside...... It's full of Zhou people's army outside! ”

"We've been discovered!" The fox was shocked.

Mu Xingri shook his head: "No, no, they're just practicing." ”

He touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go from that side......"

Outside the township school, Xin stood in front of the "army" again.

The troops were backed by the village school, but from the front, there were old men and women, all dressed in similar clothes, carrying long sticks and sticks.

"Gentleman, those people have already run away......"

Xinnan quietly walked out from behind.

"Very well, did you tell them about the reinforcements?"

"I have already said as the gentleman commanded."

Xin nodded again, and said to Xin Nan: "Follow them and ensure that they go down the mountain smoothly." ”

"Yes......"

Xinnan stepped back and went around to a room in the back.

"Ah, uncle."

Xin Duan was supported by Xiao Wu and was waiting for Xin Nan here.

"You did as the gentleman told?" Xin Duan asked.

"Yes...... Didn't Xiao Wu say that you allowed this......" Xin Nan looked a little scared of Xin Quan.

"I asked Xiao Wu to say that."

After Xin Duan finished speaking, Xin Nan let out a sigh of relief.

He can't afford to offend this old man.

"Uncle, why do you want to do what the gentleman says, if we tell the Rong people his real plan, then the gentleman will ......"

Xiao Wu next to him asked.

Xin Duan said: "The strong enemy is outside, and the Xin clan cannot be in internal strife for the time being." That Xin seems to have changed again, let's take a look, don't worry, I am in control of the overall situation......"

"Hehe, that's what my uncle said. Xin thought that he had set up the game, but he didn't know that without his uncle's order, he couldn't even command a clansman. ”

Xiao Wu's face was full of contempt.

"In short, let's repel the Rong people first." Xin Duan said: "It's about to be autumn, you guys prepare well, you must beat the Zong family again this year and improve the prestige of this one!" ”

"Yes, uncle." Xiao Wu replied.

……

Under the Xinling Mountains, the Rong people camped.

A tall, muscular man in leather armor and long hair stood at the front of the camp, holding a short bronze knife with a ring head in his hand.

He is none other than Mu Luotian, the leader of Ilozhirong.

"...... Prepare me for battle! ”

Looking at the wolf smoke on the mountain, Mu Luotian decided to launch an invasion of Xinyi.

"King, this Xinyi is crazy! It's just ten carts of grain, are they going to be desperate? ”

A Rong leader on the side said.

"They occupy the beacon tower on Mu Xingri, and now that Xinyi has lit the beacon fire, they may have been killed on Mu Xingri......"

Mu Luotian's chest rose and fell, and the corners of his mouth kept trembling.

Thinking of his brother's murder, his anger had long overshadowed his sanity.

The king's order was handed down, and the warriors of the Rong people began to chant.

It was their pre-battle ritual that allowed the gods to give them courage.

The drums of war are sounding, and the soldiers are intersecting.

The troops of the Rong people rarely had chariots and horses, and all of them were foot soldiers who were good at hand-to-hand combat.

This gives them an advantage when playing against a small town like Xinyi.

"Let the people of Xinyi see what will happen to those who anger us!"

Mu Luotian smeared the blood of animals on his chest, cheeks, and long knife in order to obtain the blessing of the gods.

After the ancient ritual was completed, Mu Luotian led his army to the mountains and forests leading to the highlands.

"Big brother!"

"King!"

I saw a few people running down the mountain road.

"It seems to be Mu Xingri?" The Rong man on the side asked.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Mu Xingri ran close to the front and back, and Mu Luo was able to see their appearance clearly.

"What's going on up there? Xinyi asked for help? Mu Luotian asked.

"Yes...... And their reinforcements have arrived! ”

Mu Xingri told Mu Luotian all the news he had found.

"Impossible! How could they have walked up from such a precipice?!! ”

Mu Luotian didn't believe the words of the Xinyi people at all, thinking that the Xinyi people were lying to themselves.

Where have you ever seen such a strange thing, where reinforcements can really run up from a cliff? Can you swim up the river from a turbulent river like green water?

"What if they did it on purpose so that we would give up the attack?"

Mu Luotian said.

"But ......"

"Mu Xingri, when you escaped, they really didn't notice it at all? You're not hindered in the slightest? ”

"Like...... Nope"

"Hmph, do the Zhou people think they are very smart? I won't fall for them! ”

Mu Luotian still didn't believe that there were reinforcements on the mountain.

"Mu Sheng, you go and investigate......"

……

About half an hour later, the spy named Mu Sheng ran down from the mountain.

"People...... It's full of people! ”

"People?! Do you see people!? ”

Mu Luotian still couldn't believe it.

"It's not people, it's fire."

"Fire? What are you talking about, you guy! Make it clear! ”

Mu Luotian couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"When I was halfway through, I saw that the mountains and forests were full of firelight, line by row, column by column, shuttling through the mountains, definitely an army!"

"Firelight?"

"Yes, there must be a lot of people marching with torches. I made a rough estimate that there were at least two thousand ......"

"Two thousand!"

Mu Luotian was dumbfounded.

It's unbelievable.
