The rest of the life.
There is nothing more exciting than this.
Xu Mu's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly. He didn't expect that in this critical moment, Jiang Caiwei, who had always been delicate, would lead someone to save him.
Suddenly, an unknown warmth surged through Xu Mu's entire body.
"Xu Lang!" Jiang Caiwei's eyes turned red, she grabbed the old hatchet and ran towards Xu Mu.
Behind him, Chen Sheng also picked up a simple knife and cut two bandits in succession, roaring again and again.
During this time, after following Xu Mu, the five of them had already transformed from the most ordinary little grooms into heroes who dared to fight and kill.
Raising his head, Chen Sheng made a ferocious expression and blew a long whistle. Not long after, six or seven galloping old horses rushed from behind. The wooden spears in their hands knocked over six or seven bandits in succession.
"Kill him!" Xu Mu gritted his teeth.
Zhou Zun and others, who had originally looked depressed, suddenly became heroic. Regardless of their wounds, they roared and waved their weapons, and then rushed forward to kill them.
Surrounded from front to back, the remaining dozen or so bandits seemed to have become a mob. After a while, they were so frightened that they huddled together and fled in all directions.
"Xu Lang, are you okay?" Jiang Caiwei ran over nervously, constantly checking Xu Mu's body.
"It's nothing." Xu Mu smiled. If Jiang Caiwei hadn't brought someone to rescue him, this situation would have been very disastrous.
"The slave family was on the archery tower earlier. When they saw the fire and the fighting, they were worried and asked Chen Sheng to take a look."
"Master, I rode my horse there and saw Brother Tiger fighting with someone, so I immediately went back to the village to call for someone."
Xu Mu had already roughly heard the whole story.
"By the way, Brother Tiger!" Chen Sheng was suddenly startled and spoke hastily.
Everyone present looked up in panic and moved forward.
In the dark night, sparks were flying from time to time. Along with Si Hu's roar and Hong Dong's hoarse curse, it added to the desolation.
"Go." Xu Mu said with a cold face. In these troubled times, he would have to rely on Si Hu in the future. He didn't want anything to happen to Si Hu.
After killing the bandits and fleeing, the young and strong men on six or seven old horses, after hearing Xu Mu's words, immediately reined in the reins again, put their spears under their arms, and charged forward coldly.
The night wind blew by, shaking the small trees on both sides of the forest road to a "shuttle" sound.
Xu Mu's face was frozen and he chased after him. However, as soon as he got closer, he found that Si Hu was covered in wounds and slowly emerged from the night.
There was also a bloody short knife stuck under his ribs.
"Si Hu!"
"Brother Tiger!"
As if nothing had happened, Si Hu laughed heroically, then slapped the horse's belly with his hand, and a heavy figure tied behind the horse was slowly dragged out like a dead dog.
"Brother Mu, I've succeeded." Si Hu said in an angry voice, hung up his long saber, then turned over and dismounted.
"If he doesn't know what's interesting, I'll beat him to death."
Si Hu gasped and his face became paler, "This bitch was dying and stabbed me."
"Si Hu, don't draw your sword!" Xu Mu looked shocked.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. This giant man like an iron tower pulled out the short knife from his ribs as if making trouble unreasonably. Then, his whole body fell backwards. With a bang, the night birds deep in the dense forest were shaken. Seven or eight came out.
"Hurry and help him stop bleeding." Xu Mu was shocked.
When he found out that Si Hu was just in shock due to blood loss, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After taking a few steps and walking to Hong Dong's body, Xu Mu frowned and used his sword to open up the pockmarked face. Only then did he see Hong Dong's true face. He was a man who had been burned beyond recognition.
It's no wonder that he wears pockmarked face and black robes and armor all day long.
"Chen Sheng, take two people to touch the body and burn it together."
"Don't worry, boss."
Xu Mu nodded. After a day and night of physical exhaustion, coupled with the fighting and tension just now, when he breathed a sigh of relief, he fell back in a daze.
In a daze, Jiang Caiwei was getting closer and closer to him with a painted face as she cried.
…
When I woke up, I was already lying on Zhuangzi's wooden bed, with the oil lamp flickering and the sound of wind and frogs croaking outside.
A thin figure was lying on the wooden bed, sleeping slightly.
Xu Mu silently took the quilt and slowly covered it up.
"Xu Lang?" Jiang Caiwei rubbed her eyes and suddenly raised her head.
"Xu Lang is awake."
After saying just one sentence, Jiang Caiwei's eyes turned red again, she stood up in a hurry, and soon brought in a bowl of fresh soup.
The smell of fish instantly filled the whole room. Xu Mu took it in surprise and drank it all in one breath.
"Caiwei, is there anything going on in Zhuangzi during this time?"
"Many people came to play the village, but Chen Sheng and his men drove them away. I heard that people from Beidi came to Wangzhou again, and Xu Lang didn't come back for a long time. Everyone was very worried."
"It's okay."
After an escape, he finally returned to Zhuangzi safely.
When I walked out of the house, the sky just cleared up. As far as I could see, Chen Sheng was leading people to strengthen the wooden wall. By now, the wooden wall had been stacked several thick layers.
Moreover, according to Xu Mu's intention, there is a curtain in the middle of the wooden layer. Even if someone comes to rob the village in the future and smash the wooden wall with a kerosene can, when the time comes, they only need to wet the curtain with water to reduce the intensity of the fire. Can't burn.
"My boss."
Seeing Xu Mu coming, Chen Sheng put down his work in surprise.
"Chen Sheng, you have worked hard these days."
"My boss, it's not hard work." Chen Sheng wiped his hands and his voice suddenly became cautious, "My boss, I went to explore the area near Hezhou a few days ago and discovered some incredible things."
"Something terrible?"
Chen Sheng gritted his teeth and nodded, "The battalion stationed in Hezhou will patrol at night, kill the refugees coming out of Wangzhou, and finally cut off the heads and collect them."
Behead?
Xu Mu's face became more and more solemn. As early as in Wangzhou City, he saw that Tongziying had cut off the heads of many people with beards in order to pretend to have military merit.
Fortunately, at the last moment, due to Lao Guancha's patriotic integrity, Tongziying was infected and launched a tragic deathbed counterattack.
"My boss, we need to explore more on the way to Hezhou. Not only the camp army, I heard that they were also in chaos when they were rushed by the refugees from Wangzhou."
The military discipline of the Daji is corrupt. If there was more enthusiasm, even if the number was smaller, they would have led troops to help Wangzhou long ago.
"Wangzhou City...over there." Xu Mu couldn't help but ask after all.
Even if the Three Thousand Tongzi Camp is defended, even if it is fought to the death, there is a high probability that it cannot be defended.
The Beidi people have been extremely good at attacking cities for more than a hundred years. Coupled with their superior military strength, they are almost crushing.
"I heard they are still defending the city." Chen Sheng burst into tears suddenly, "There is no deserter in the Three Thousand Tongzi Camp. Outside Wangzhou City, there are many people begging for their lives."
