Xiao Yu got out of the small door and looked up to see eight burly figures gathered in front of the door waiting. Two of them had already revealed their weapons and were ready to rush in at any time.
Because they were all wearing night clothes, he could not clearly see the expressions of his companions at this time, and it was estimated that his companions could not see him clearly either.
"Is something wrong?" Xiao Yu asked.
Some people shook their heads, but others asked first, "Is there something wrong with the young prince? There...is there no problem inside?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Dendrobium first. Even though the surrounding light was very dark, he could feel that the five-short young man looked unnatural.
Just because he couldn't speak, the friends around him couldn't understand what he wanted to express from his gestures, but they all had a vague sense of what was in them.
Xiao Yu scanned the crowd again, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
"There is a person locked inside, who is dead. There is nothing else about it... There used to be some things locked in some rooms, but now... they have either been emptied or smashed to pieces. We can't stay here for a long time. Let's stay here. It’s been too long, we have to move on.”
Everyone was surprised, but since the young prince said so, no one doubted it. Several people looked at the dendrobium one after another before moving on.
The person who took the lead continued to explore the way forward, and the others followed closely behind.
Xiao Yu patted Dendrobium on the shoulder and followed behind.
The road ahead was still smooth, and there were no more sentries or guards who died of poisoning, but this smoothness always made people feel uneasy, and the strings in everyone's hearts had to be tightened.
Several people walked along the wall for a while, and Xiao Yu called everyone together to discuss.
Everyone felt it was abnormal, but couldn't say anything.
They just felt that everything was too weird, and it made them feel that the next step in the darkness before them might be a cliff, enough to make them fall to pieces.
No one mentioned whether those spies from the Northern Dynasties had done their homework in advance and poisoned the guards' meals early.
But some people suspect that they haven't heard the sound of fighting elsewhere until now. Those spies from the Northern Dynasty must have had bad intentions. They didn't enter the house at all. They just borrowed knives to kill people tonight.
Da Xiwu had this idea. He had always hated these immigrants from the Northern Dynasties. In his eyes, these traitors deserved death.
The reason why Xiao Yu followed these people in was to threaten Da Xiwu with his own body.
He was betting that he was among the overseas Chinese, and Da Xiwu did not dare to do anything to them; he was also betting that something would happen to him, and that he would not be able to do business with Wang Yuanyin of Qinghe.
Several people discussed for a while, and Xiao Yu listened quietly. He was worried that some people would retreat. Fortunately, no one mentioned the retreat, but some people showed due concern about the road ahead. This worry was not for themselves, but for them. It's the young prince.
"Young prince, is the place in front of you where those barbarians are imprisoned?" someone asked.
"Yes, it's not far." Xiao Yu nodded.
"Young prince, just retreat the way you came! We will do the rest. If I can't go back, just go back and help us take care of our parents, wife and children."
Everyone said yes, Xiao Yu looked at these men, his heart felt hot, and he secretly had a little ambition in his heart. Maybe these people could be used by him in the future, and if these loyal followers died here, then What a shame.
Xiao Yu looked at everyone: "I said, if we come together, we will come together, and if we die together, we will die together. How can I abandon you and live alone? Today I am an alliance with you. If we are lucky enough to escape, you will be Xiao Yu's colleagues. brother!"
Everyone said no more, everyone's blood was boiling, and they all silently accepted Xiao Yu as the lord in their hearts.
Xiao Yu looked up. Not far outside the alley was the place where the barbarians were imprisoned. He seemed to hear some faint moans, but he was not very clear.
"follow me!"
Xiao Yu walked in front waving his silver gun, and everyone no longer cared about their family background as much as before. There were only brothers beside him.
It didn't take long before the familiar gate appeared in front of him. Xiao Yu's successful entry last time was mainly due to the laxity of the guard.
But today, the front door is empty, not even a shadow of a guard. The more so, the more suspicious it becomes.
"Little prince, let me go over and take a look first!" someone said, holding his fist.
"Dendrobium, you go too."
Dendrobium hummed, and he and another person quietly walked to the door, then ducked in together.
Everyone outside held their breath and stared at the courtyard door closely. As long as there was something wrong inside, they would all step forward to rescue their companions.
At this moment, Xiao Yu seemed extremely nervous. His palm holding the silver gun was full of sweat, and his heartbeat speeded up unknowingly.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of the empty door frame. They waved their hands in this direction, indicating that this place could be entered.
Xiao Yu left two people on guard outside the door and ran towards the door with the other three people.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Hu coming over immediately, pointing at the corpses hanging on the gallows not far away and saying something. He looked very nervous and scared.
Xiao Yu looked up at the corpses. They had long since rotted and had been hanging there for who knows how long.
Seeing Shi Hu's uneasy behavior, Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder, comforted him a few words, and asked him to wait outside the door.
At this time, someone whispered: "What's the matter with this little brother? He kills people quickly and cruelly, but he is so afraid when he sees the dead..."
Xiao Yu frowned and refused to answer. He turned to look at the iron cages in the huge courtyard in front of him. They were still there, arranged like a maze.
"Little prince." Someone said with cupped hands.
Seeing that it was the person who entered first with Dendrobium, Xiao Yu asked, "Look here, everyone?"
"I've seen it all," the other party replied.
"No one is guarding here?"
"There are people... who are dead like the guards we met outside. There are no wounds. They should still be poisoned..."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes: "Everyone, please don't touch anything, especially the food, wine, or water glasses on the table."
Everyone agreed.
Xiao Yu asked again: "What about the people in the cage? It seems... it seems a little too quiet..."
The man pondered for a moment: "This is my first time here, so I don't know what the situation was like."
"I gonna go see!"
Xiao Yu said as he walked in front with his gun, and the four people around him followed him.
Xiao Yu approached the iron cages and could still hear vague groans or coughs, but he found that the number of people in these cages seemed to be much smaller, and some of the iron cages were even empty.
Xiao Yu walked along the rows of iron cages for a while. It seemed that only the old, weak, sick and disabled were locked up inside, but no women or children were seen.
Xiao Yu had a bad feeling. He relied on his memory to find the iron cage where She Quli had been kept. It was indeed empty.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed and frustrated. He even felt like he was being played.
Everyone behind him saw that his mood suddenly dropped, and they looked at each other, a little at a loss.
A person stepped forward: "Little Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu immediately realized that his emotions were wrong and quickly restrained himself: "It's nothing..."
"Then let's..." The man looked at the surrounding cages.
"Open the cage and let the people go."
Just as Xiao Yu was saying this, he suddenly heard an old and weak voice coming from the iron cage beside him.
"You're here again..."
Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the sound. The old man he met last time was holding on to the iron railing and looking out at everyone.
Xiao Yu walked over in a few steps: "Aweng, do you still remember me?"
"Well..." the old man nodded as hard as he could, "What a good boy. He does what he says, but you are late."
Xiao Yu looked around: "She Quli... and those people? Where have they gone?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know, they were taken away during the day the next day after you left."
"Who took them away?"
The old man thought for a while: "Is it the guards here? I really don't know if they were detained in a different place or if they were taken to another place... Maybe they are no longer here..."
Xiao Yu heard the disappointment in the old man's words, and he remained silent for a moment without speaking.
The old man said quietly: "They are all good children. It would be great if they could stay in the grassland and grow up without worries. Why should they follow their obsessed parents to this Southern Dynasty... Once the people who grew up drinking mare's milk leave, The grassland will no longer be blessed by the immortal god, we really shouldn’t leave the grassland!”
"I'll go find them." Xiao Yu said, and he ordered the people around him, "Smash open the cage and let everyone out!"
Several people accepted the order.
But the old man refused: "If we don't leave, Changshengtian has given up on us. You don't care about us. We ominous people can only pass on bad luck to you. You go quickly!"
People in other iron cages also refused. Even the iron cages were smashed open, but the people inside still refused to come out.
"Stop being stubborn and come with us quickly. There are people outside to help you and will definitely take you to a safe place!" Xiao Yu urged anxiously.
The old man sighed softly: "My child, the fact that you are here means that you are a friend worth making. However, children on the grassland will not betray their friends like jackals, nor will they disregard their friends' life or death."
Xiao Yu didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words and hurriedly urged: "Now is not the time to be harsh, we will take you away!"
The old man shook his head: "I have eaten salt for so many years. How can I not see that someone is using useless people like us who can't walk or crawl as bait? If you take us with you, you will be harmed in the end." .”
"What?" Xiao Yu said in shock.
The old man stopped talking to Xiao Yu. He softly hummed the elegy that floated over the house that night, and the other barbarians also began to hum along.
Their expressions are solemn and decisive, which makes people feel awe.
At this time, someone was anxious and pulled Xiao Yu's arm: "Little prince! Look!"
I saw flames burning in several places on the north and east sides of the house at the same time. The fire was so fierce that it shot straight into the sky.
Da Xiwu and the others took action, but they just didn't know if they found what they were looking for?
At this time, Xiao Yu thought of Zhao Wuyang, who had just died. Perhaps Zhao Wuyang was the purpose of their trip. If he joined the Northern Dynasty, with his talent, he would definitely be able to create a Wei Empire that would shock the world.
It's a pity that he died, and his death as a time traveler was ironic in a very tragic way.
"Did they succeed?" someone asked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu frowned and said nothing, he seemed a little absent-minded.
The old man suddenly stopped humming and shouted angrily at Xiao Yu: "Don't stand here stupidly, leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Everyone was puzzled, but then they heard the sound of killing all around! This is not the kind of momentum those Northern Dynasty spies can create. It seems that thousands of troops are gathering here.
Everyone started to get scared, and Xiao Yu also felt confused.
He couldn't figure out more and more what kind of place this house was.
The real estate under Zhu Yi's name was managed by Cao Chen, and Zhao Wuyang was locked up here. What he mentioned most was Mei Chong'er who harmed him...
This filthy house is where the interests of Zhu Yi and Mei Chonger intersect...
Then Zhu Yi really should kill the nine tribes!
Xiao Yu's heart suddenly trembled when he thought of this, and countless details began to piece together in his mind.
Perhaps this was a trap in itself, and this trap was set just for him.
Everyone gathered around him, and Xiao Yu couldn't hear a word of what they said.
"Child! I'll tell you how to escape!" the old man in the cage said suddenly.
At this time, Xiao Yu, who was in a daze, suddenly stared at the old man.
"You know Dog? He comes in there every time. There is a ditch under the wall-creeper on the east wall. The ditch can lead to the dog hole at the root of the east wall. No one has noticed it except the kid Gou'er. That passage!”
At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly realized why the dog could come here so easily, but he had spent so much effort.
Someone bowed their hands to the old man and said, "Thank you, old man!"
After saying that, the man pulled Xiao Yu aside: "Little prince, this rescue is really unsuccessful, you and the Dendrobium brothers should leave here through the ditch."
"What about you?" Xiao Yu asked.
"We have to meet up with Dongfang Lao and the others. We have made an agreement long ago. If we can't see each other, we must persist even to death and never evacuate alone."
Xiao Yu didn't recognize the person in front of him, but Xiao Yu could feel that this person was the backbone of those expats.
"Brother, what's your surname?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I'm from the Huyan tribe!" The man cupped his hands.
"Huyan...you are a Huns!" Xiao Yu was shocked.
"My ancestors are indeed Huns, but I was born in Hebei. I am close friends with Dongfang Lao Nai. Today I am here specifically to help."
"Brother Huyan is really a great talent!" Xiao Yu cupped his hand and said
The Huyan tribe seemed to be anxious: "Oh, little prince, don't say this and leave quickly. This is my little confession to Brother Dongfang."
"But...how could I abandon my brothers and run for my own life?"
"If the young prince is like this, I'm afraid no one can leave!"
Xiao Yu looked at the old man in the cage again, and saw the old man sitting with his back turned, insisting on staying and not wanting to harm them.
Xiao Yu sighed softly and bowed to the old man's back, "Ah Weng, I'm going to wait. I can't help you anymore."
The old man said: "Child, go quickly! There is no need to say anything else."
Xiao Yu nodded, immediately drew his gun and rushed out of the courtyard. Seeing that they couldn't stop him, the others followed him.
The purpose of their trip was to go south along a branch road and meet Dongfang Lao who was there to meet him.
But before he had run very far, he heard the sound of beetle leaves colliding with each other, and the sound of footsteps shook the earth.
"Let's go!" Xiao Yu shouted.
The others quickened their pace, but just as they turned a corner, they happened to bump into a group of soldiers.
When they met on a narrow road, both sides were shocked.
Before the soldiers on the opposite side could react, Xiao Yu roared and rushed towards the armored guards in front with his gun.
