Li Xue didn't know when Zeng Qingda would come back, but she always had that expectation in her heart.

Even if she waited for her life, she felt that it didn't matter, because she had seen the light in Zeng Qingda's eyes, and she could no longer look down on the boys of the same age around her.

It's a pity that God sometimes doesn't like to follow people's will. The Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry once again went south to hit the Grass Valley.

This time they were clearly prepared, not only were they well-equipped and outnumbered, but they even deliberately concealed the news.

Kaipingwei and the defenders on the front line of the Great Wall could not react in time, and were directly successfully broken through by the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry. And Kaiping Village bore the brunt of the attack, and was directly exposed to the enemy's iron hooves.

A one-sided massacre began. The soldiers of the Northern Yuan ruthlessly waved their butcher knives, splashing a lot of brilliant blood.

As the blood flowers bloomed, the living lives disappeared with them. The ugliest side of human nature was stimulated, and the Northern Yuan soldiers did not even let go of their infant children.

They continue to harvest human lives frantically, venting the most primitive *** in women. The sound of cries resounded through the sky, and a mournful music was played.

There are only about 60 households in Kaiping Village, and by the time the Ming troops arrived here, it was already in ruins.

After several times of cleaning up, the soldiers found Li Xue who had fainted in a dry well. And Li Xue also became the only survivor in Kaiping Village.

After experiencing life and death, Li Xue's personality has also changed dramatically, and it was from that time that she became cold.

After several tosses, she entered Jinyiwei to practice martial arts and became a disciple of Luo Kedi. It's just that Brother Zeng, who misses him day and night, has never heard from him.

Li Xue put all her energy into practicing martial arts, even if her understanding was not good, she still practiced desperately.

There are only two things on her mind, one is to kill the people of Beiyuan and avenge the parents and villagers in the village, and the other is to travel the rivers and lakes hand in hand with Zeng Qingda.

And the premise of these two things is naturally that the higher the martial arts, the better. ...... "Brother Zeng!" If you think about it during the day, you will dream at night.

Li Xue finally summoned the person in his heart like a dream. It was only when she opened her eyes that she realized that it was all a dream.

She often has such dreams, and she is used to it, so every time she wakes up, she is not lost, but cherishes the feeling in the dream very much.

Tongyi was awakened by the sound of "Brother Azeng", she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Sister, are you dreaming again?"

Li Xue didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Now that the sky is bright, Zhang Ran got up very early today, these days he has something on his mind, even if he sleeps, he can't sleep steadily, and if this goes on like this, Zhang Lun is really afraid that he will lose sleep in the future.

He had just gone downstairs when he saw Xiao Jin stumbling in. After a few days, Xiao Jin was obviously a lot darker and thinner, and he looked quite embarrassed at the moment.

As soon as he saw Zhang Lu, he knelt down directly on one knee and said, "I am ashamed of my trust in the Overseer, and I ask the Overseer to punish him.

As soon as you hear that, it must not be a good thing. Zhang Lu frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on over there in the Daimyo's Mansion?"

Xiao Jin didn't look up, but just said, "The military rations allocated by the imperial court are gathered in the Daimyo's Mansion, but those grains and ships are now all burned clean by the fire.

When he repelled those men, he was powerless to return to heaven." "It can't be!" Zhang Yu said sharply. The Daimyo's Mansion is in a straight line with Hangzhou, while the location of Dongchang Mansion happens to be between the Daimyo's Mansion and Hangzhou.

If the Yan army wanted to raid the grain and grass of the Daimyo's mansion, it would definitely pass through Dongchang. But Zhang Lu did not receive any news about Yan Jun.

Even if those brocade guards are small in number and there will be negligence in handling affairs, it is not normal for so many pairs of eyes in Dongchang City to not catch the movements of the Yan army.

Xiao Jin naturally knew that this matter was not normal, but it had already happened, and he had a responsibility that he could not escape.

So he just lowered his head at the moment and didn't say a word of justification. Zhang Lu sorted out his thoughts, and probably could guess that it should not be the Yan Army who burned the grain, but the Cao Gang who did these things.

The letter left by Jiang Zhen will never come out of nowhere, so whether it is Zhao Shannan or Li Zhenjun, the leader of the Cao Gang, there are many secrets waiting to be discovered.

It is not known how much military rations the imperial court has mobilized from all over the country, but it will never be a small amount. But those military rations are gone now, even if Zhang Lu has been learning how to become a qualified overseer, he will always deliberately learn Jiang Xuan's way of behaving in the world, but he is not Jiang Zhen after all, and when such a big event happens, he can't be calm at all.

Because Zhang Lu knew that the grain and grass of the imperial court were gone, then the imperial court's original plan to drag down the Yan army was probably going to fail, and without food, the first to be dragged down would definitely be the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Therefore, when the imperial court learns of this news, it will definitely take action, and I am afraid that the state of peace will not be maintained at that time.

The war will start again, and many, many people will die. Zhang Lu knew that even if the Thousand Faces hadn't come back yet, he would have to do something.

He didn't blame Xiao Jin, after all, Xiao Jin didn't expect that what he met was not Yan Jun, but Yan Jun pretending to be from the Cao Gang.

Defend against the enemy from the outside, but you don't expect that the enemy is inside, which is impossible to prevent. Zhang Yan gently patted Xiao Jin's shoulder and said, "Get up."

Xiao Jin didn't get up, he shook his head, and said again, "Guilty of lowly duty!" Zhang Lu sighed and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, I didn't think it through, you can't make any difference by kneeling here, and you still have a lot to do."

"Overseer......" Xiao Jin finally raised his head, and he looked at Zhang Lu like that, his face full of self-blame.

Zhang Yu turned around and whispered, "Let everyone in the inn gather in the lobby." He only left this one sentence without a beginning or an end, and went straight back to the lobby.

Xiao Jin naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went upstairs to call someone. Not long after, Liu Erbi, Li Xue, Tong Yi, Cook, Ran Tang, plus Zhang Lu and Xiao Jin, several people had already gathered in the lobby.

Tong Yi rubbed his eyes and sighed, and then said to Zhang Yan, "Fifth Senior Brother, what are you calling everyone up for early this morning?

Zhang Lu ignored Tong Yi, but said to Li Xue and Liu Erbian: "I'm afraid that the war between the imperial court and the Yan army will be rekindled, and I won't stay here at the inn, I have something very important to do, so I want to ask the two of you to escort Tong Yi back to Wudang Mountain."

In fact, relying on Liu Er's ability to be abducted and deceived, coupled with Li Xue, who has a strong explosion and fast speed, maybe the two of them will become a very strong help for Zhang Lu at this time.

But Zhang Lu didn't intend to pull them in, Zhang Lu regarded them as friends, and in the tide of history, anyone could be destroyed.

Zhang Yan still can't guarantee his safety, so he naturally doesn't want to watch the two of them get into danger with him. It's just that Li Xue and Liu Erbian haven't replied yet, and Tong Yi took the lead in quitting.

"I'm not going back! I'll be where the fifth senior brother is." finally got the opportunity to get more contact with Zhang Yuan, and Tongyi naturally wouldn't give up so easily.

Zhang Zhen frowned, his face became extremely gloomy, and he said, "Now is not the time for you to be willful!

Tong Yi had to say more, Zhang Lu started directly, he only tapped Tong Yi on the shoulder twice, and completely sealed Tong Yi's acupoint, so that Tong Yi could not speak and move.

And Tongyi's huge eyes seemed to be still begging Zhang Yu to let her stay. It's just that Zhang Lu didn't even look at her, so he said to Li Xue and Liu Erbi, "Please.

Li Xue, who had always been cold, nodded and said, "Don't worry, since Tongyi calls me sister, I will naturally send her sister back to Wudang Mountain safely."

Liu Erbian also raised his hand beside him, "And me, and me." After speaking, Li Xue went upstairs to pack his things.

Zhang Lu looked at Xiao Jin and the others again, and said: "I originally wanted to wait for His Majesty's will, but now I'm afraid I can't wait, all the grain and grass are burned, and the imperial court will definitely move, let's set off now and go to Hangzhou, no matter what, I will stop this war."

Xiao Jin, the cook, and the running hall immediately bowed their hands to Zhang Zhen and said, "Obey the orders of the Overseer!"

Zhang Lu was about to lead a few people away. But he didn't want to do this, and a figure fell directly into the inn.

The man looked up, saw Zhang Lu and barely smiled, and then fell unconscious.

Zhang Yu was shocked, who else could this person be if he wasn't a thousand-faced person? Zhang Zhen took three steps and made two steps, came to the thousand-faced man, stretched out a palm, and directly crossed the internal force towards the thousand-faced man.

It's just that Zhang Zhen didn't expect that the thousand-faced man would be injured so badly, the meridians on his body were almost broken, and there were countless injuries on his body, large and small.

No one knows what happened to the Man of Thousand Faces. No one knows how he used this broken body to get to the Full Moon Inn.

Zhang Lu continued to input internal force into the thousand-faced man, but unfortunately the thousand-faced man showed no sign of getting better, not even showing signs of waking up.

At this time, Li Xue came downstairs, she naturally saw a thousand-faced person in the Jinyi Guard, but the two were not familiar with each other, and they didn't say a few words in total.

Li Xue walked over, she leaned over, and asked Zhang Yuan, "What's wrong with him?" Zhang Lu's face was solemn, and while he was still sending internal force to the thousand-faced man, he replied, "I'm injured.

Li Xue nodded lightly and asked, "Very serious?" Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhang Lu still nodded and said, "It's serious, I'm afraid, I'm going to die."

Hearing this, Liu Erbian also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Will you die? Isn't the Man of Thousand Faces quite powerful?

Zhang Lu ignored Liu Erbi, and was still taking care of himself to convey internal force to the thousand-faced people. Li Xue frowned and asked, "Since you know that he will die, why don't you spare your internal strength?"

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, "I still have some things I want to ask him, about the people in the world. And even if he can't be saved, I hope to ask him if he still has any wishes for it.
