Shangguan Ruoli also became alert, sat up straight and asked, "Is it a human or a wolf?"

She neglected to practice martial arts, and her internal strength was never as good as Dongming Ziyu's.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Human."

Mo Wen reported outside at this time: "Master, be careful, I heard the sound of a dog pulling a sledge."

Dongming Ziyu said in a deep voice: "Tell everyone, be careful!"

"Yes!" Mo Wen responded and passed on the message.

Everyone has their swords unsheathed, sleeve crossbows loaded with bows and arrows, and concealed weapons placed where they are easily accessible.

Mo asked: "There is a snow slope ahead. Let's speed up there. It can be used as a bunker."

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Yun!"

"Dad, Mom, when are we going home?" Ling Yu felt the tense atmosphere. Even though she had a good temper, she was tired of riding in a carriage.

Dongming Ziyu held her in his arms and kissed her on her face, "Are you tired? Huh?"

Ling Yu held a little fur rabbit and leaned in Dongming Ziyu's arms, her expression a little aggrieved.

Shangguan Ruoli loaded the crossbow with arrows and said distressedly: "Is Yu'er tired of riding in the carriage? We will stay for a few more days after we find the town."

Ling Yu nodded her head, shook her head, and whispered: "I miss my sisters and brothers. It's boring to play alone."

Shangguan Ruoli regretted not bringing a playmate for the little kid. Children need friends of the same age.

Dongming Ziyu coaxed softly: "We will go home after a while."

Ling Yu didn't know how long "some time" meant, but knowing that her father had agreed, her eyebrows arched into a smile.

There was the sound of whistling arrows outside. The other party was using a dog-drawn sledge, which was faster than their horse-drawn sledge in the deep snow.

Before Mo Wen could reach the snow slope Mo Wen mentioned, the other party was already approaching.

Although dogs pull sledges quickly, they have little strength and there are only a few people pulling them. There are at most three people on each sledge.

Moreover, if there are nearly ten dogs pulling a sledge, if one dies, the entire dog formation will be destroyed, and the sledge will be unable to move.

Therefore, don’t think about leading people to shoot arrows into the dogs first.

With the whining sound, the dogs ran away in all directions, but with the leash on their bodies, they couldn't escape and became a mess.

The man on the sledge jumped down, drew his machete, and without saying a word, the killer came over.

It can be seen that the person who came here is not seeking wealth, but his life.

They came with a dozen dog-drawn sledges and less than sixty people in total. Although they were brave and good at fighting, their martial arts skills were incomparable to Mo Xiang's.

Dongming Ziyu ordered: "Keep them alive!"

After all, this is on someone else's territory. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Let them do it this time. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Although they were spared their lives, their injuries were not minor.

Young Master He grabbed a person and asked, "Who are you from? What do you want to do?"

The man said: "We are just ordinary herdsmen who suffered a disaster and want to get some food, gold and silver to survive the disaster years."

"Fart!" Mr. He kicked the man, "Do you think we are fools?"

Although the disaster has only occurred for a few days, the herdsmen would have been storing food for the winter, but now they are not starving at all.

Mo Xiang said: "What's the use of your painless kick? Look at our methods!"

As long as he doesn't die, they have the means to make him speak.

Sure enough, before the trick was used, the other party said it was Tusi's people, because Tusi was jealous of Mr. He for seducing Dalima and asked them to silence him.

Young Master He didn't believe it. He didn't say anything to Dalima, and Tusi wouldn't kill someone just to silence her.

Don't think that after using a cruel trick, the other party did it again. They were Qi Muge's people, and they came to kill Mr. He in order to make Dalima appease her.

Young Master He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and said sadly: "Except for holding my little hand, I didn't do anything, and it was Dalima who took the initiative to pull me. Is it going to cost my life?"

Shangguan Ruoli was not ashamed of Qimuge's behavior and said: "I didn't expect that Qimuge looked honest and honest, but was so narrow-minded and vicious."

Dongming Ziyu asked Master He: "What are you going to do now?"

Young Master He said angrily: "My parents don't agree, and I have no intention of forcing it. But his character is too bad. If Dalima marries him, she will definitely suffer in the future!"

Thinking of that woman as passionate and pure as the sun marrying a beast, he felt a pang in his heart.

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "Then you go back to propose marriage?"

He Da Shaojun blushed and said: "At this time, it's useless for me to go. It's better to have a few people sent to Tusi to let him know who Qimuge is. With this kind of narrow-mindedness

, if you cooperate with ruthless people, you won’t get good results even if you think about it.”

Dongming Ziyu nodded and asked An San and his men to use dog-pulled sledges to send four or five assassins to Qimuge. The others were threatened and left to fend for themselves.

Tu Si didn't say anything when he received those people, and Dark Three didn't pay much attention. He led his men and dog-pulled sledges to chase Dongming Ziyu's large team.

Apart from this small episode, I haven't encountered any trouble since then.

After meeting up, we walked for ten days before arriving in a small town. When we saw the houses, we felt very friendly.

Everyone found an inn to stay, which was a dark spot in Meihua Pavilion.

Before I could settle down, I received some bad news.

News came from the border that Beiling took the initiative to attack the Daming border defense and took the lead in igniting the war.

The two brothers Wang Mingxuan headed there with supplies of food and grass, but their marching speed was limited and they had not yet reached the battlefield.

Because everyone has been in the prairie, it is difficult to identify the direction without a compass, and it is difficult to deliver various news to them.

Dongming Ziyu put the news aside and said: "Beiling should have expected that this battle is inevitable. Before the generals of the imperial court arrive to guard the border, it is better to strike first."

Otherwise, when the imperial generals arrive at the border, they will miss the opportunity.

This time they took the initiative to launch a surprise attack. Perhaps Wang Feng's border soldiers did not expect that Beiling would be so bold, so they were caught off guard.

However, Wang Feng had rich experience. He had also participated in the war in Mozhen and other three towns. He had experience in fighting in extremely cold conditions and did not suffer any big losses.

Dongming Ziyu picked up another urgent letter, opened it, and frowned.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that the matter was serious and asked: "What's going on?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "The Beiling people used poison on the battlefield. The Daming soldiers were poisoned and fell in large numbers. Mozhen almost fell into the hands of the Beiling people. Fortunately, Bai Qingqing was there, and the soldiers suffered few casualties.

.”

This situation, which was not urgent at first, suddenly became urgent.

Shangguan Ruoli frowned, "So, the Baishan line has fallen into the hands of the Beiling people again?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "The Baihe River is frozen. Not only does it provide us with help, the enemy can also attack from the ice."
