Jingkou, Garanshan Township, Qili Village, Garanshan Forest.
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled with tears. He looked at Xu Xianzhi in front of him. His whole body was already dressed in black mourning clothes, with a white mourning belt wrapped around his head. His body was covered with dirt and blood, and the white mourning belt was stained. There was no pure color at all. He was holding a child in each hand. They were both five or six years old, a son and a daughter. The girl was timid, although she was dusty and covered in mud, but she was also It's hard to hide her delicate appearance, and she looks like a beautiful woman. If you look closely, you can see that her eyebrows and eyes are 60-70% similar to Murong Lan's, but her eyes are big and lively, and she looks very much like Liu Yu. This woman is a real beauty. It was Liu Xingdi, the daughter of Liu Yu and Murong Lan who had been fostered outside for many years. Next to her was Xu Xianzhi's eldest son, Xu Kuizhi.
Liu Yu looked at Xu Xianzhi, whose eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and sighed: "I didn't expect that things would come to this point. You have suffered too much along the way."
Next to Xu Xianzhi, a powerful young man said: "On this journey, I protected Mr. Xu and avoided the random soldiers and demon thieves everywhere. In the land of Sanwu, tigers and wolves are already rampant, and demons are everywhere. Even those who are not Most of the manor houses that were attacked by murderers formed strongholds to protect themselves, and many villagers also became robbers who robbed people on the road. When we set out, there were seventeen brothers, and now we are the only two left, just to see the mail. Brother Nu, tell you what happened there."
Liu Yu nodded solemnly: "Brother, you have worked hard. Brother Xu was able to come all the way with his life saved, and this pair of children are all due to you. What is your name? I will thank you very much."
Xu Xianzhi said: "This brother's name is Chen Yi. He was originally one of my spies. The demon thieves suddenly broke out, and my spies in various places had no time to withdraw. He is the brother who escaped from Shangyu with me, because Kui Zhizhi was in His uncle lived in Shanyin City, so I went straight to Shanyin after escaping from Shangyu. I also wanted to give Xie Neishi a warning at the time. Unexpectedly, Wang Ningzhi replaced Chief Xie, and in the end he couldn't even defend himself. Our lives were lost. We had no choice but to escape again. After a lot of hardships along the way, we finally made it back to Jingkou alive."
Speaking of this, Xu Xianzhi couldn't help but shed tears again.
Liu Yu bent down and looked at the timid Liu Xingdi in front of him: "My dear, are you okay now? Don't be afraid now. It's safe here. Dad will protect you."
Liu Xingdi's eyes were rolling around, looking at Liu Yu, but his face was full of doubts. She suddenly said: "You are not my father, I don't have a father."
Liu Yu's body trembled slightly, his heart felt sad, and he was about to shed tears. Xu Xianzhi said quickly: "Brother Xing, don't talk nonsense. He is your father, the great hero I have always told you."
Liu Xingdi shouted: "No, he is not. If he is my father, the great hero you mentioned, why didn't he come to save us? Why didn't he come when Uncle Fu and Brother Shugen died one by one? ?”
The little girl was talking, her eyes and nose were all over her face. Xu Kuizhi on the side stepped forward and stretched out his sleeves to wipe her eyes. Liu Yu felt sad and said softly: "Brother Xing, dad also just I just learned about what happened there. I'm sorry that I couldn't save your friends, but dad promises you that he will definitely avenge these friends of yours. You are tired from this journey, so take a good rest first. Dad will discuss this with your Uncle Xu. matter."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he stood up and said to Chen Yi: "Brother Chen, please take the two children to my house first. Brother Xu and I have to talk about the following matters. Dao regulations, you protect them first." go home."
Liu Daogui, who had been standing for a long time, nodded. Since Liu Yu was released from prison this time, he has been Liu Yu's inseparable right-hand man.
When Liu Xingdi and others disappeared outside the forest, Liu Yu sighed softly: "I owe this child too much, and I don't blame her for not recognizing me as her father."
Xu Xianzhi wiped away his tears and said: "This time Xingdi is back, he no longer has to stay with me, and I don't have a family anymore. My father, my two brothers, and my wife were all killed by demon thieves. This There is a blood feud, and Brother Jinu must avenge it for me."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's for sure. Now everyone in the imperial court knows nothing about the situation there. You are probably the first person to escape from Wudi and have experienced the war. Please tell me what happened there. .”
Xu Xianzhi nodded and said: "The demon thieves got the help of the local tyrants in Wu. The eight counties almost launched an attack at the same time. More than half of the defenders in the various counties and counties of the imperial court were either secret disciples of Tianshi Dao or the children of the local tyrants. It was soaked through, so the demon thieves could live happily on the island. As soon as the imperial court ordered to recruit troops, the demon thieves took the opportunity to confuse people's hearts and instigate civil uprising. The local tyrants in Wu responded together, and Shangyu fell first. , followed by sentences, within ten days, Shanyin was also lost, and now the entire eight counties of Wudi have fallen into the hands of demon thieves. I heard that Sun En is also preparing to lead his army to attack Jiankang, and kill Sima Daozi on the side of Qingjun. Woolen cloth."
Liu Yu frowned: "Even if Tianshi Dao had internal support, they couldn't do it so quickly. They only have more than a thousand people on the island. How could they seize the entire Wu land so quickly? The wealthy villagers have no equipment. How can we compete with the troops of the imperial court? At least, there are still more than ten thousand defenders in Shanyin. Not to mention counterinsurgency, it is still possible to defend for at least a month or two."
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "When the demon thief came ashore, he was well-equipped. Those disciples were all equipped with mail armor and fine steel swords. Even the armies of local tycoons mostly had standard spears and full sets of armor. Looking at the equipment alone, it was quite different. The soldiers, horses and elephants of the imperial court are the militia, and they are the regular army."
Liu Yu was startled, then his expression returned to calm, and he nodded: "I understand, they must have obtained the weapons and equipment left by Xi Chao. The mafia has been operating for many years, and has a large amount of sophisticated equipment, which is hidden in Wu." Hell, since Xi Chao has colluded with these demon thieves to cause trouble, he will give these hidden weapons to each other. He has no need of them in Jingzhou anyway. Alas, this giant chief is dead and can still do such a thing!"
Xu Xianzhi said bitterly: "Not only that, they also lead the battle with those monsters you said were invulnerable. I saw with my own eyes that in Haiyan City, the militiamen of Qianzhou County were defeated by more than fifty such monsters, and the thieves behind them Just take advantage of the victory to cover up the enemy."
Liu Yu frowned: "I didn't expect that they actually used this kind of immortal people in Jiangnan. It is really difficult to resist. I know the power of these monsters very well. So, Shanyin City was also lost in this way?"
