Behind the rocks, Xiao Sang made a surprised voice: "Miss, he, he is..."
Who is this black-armored knight if not Yan Ling?
Xu Yin was also stunned for a moment. The puppet emperor wanted to lead the expedition in person. It was a busy time on the front line, so she thought Yan Ling would not be able to escape.
This group of soldiers were obviously just at the bottom of the army and could not recognize the Black Iron Guards of Second Young Master Yan, but they could feel the chill and blood on each other's bodies. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
The leader of the squad leader was very aware of the current situation and immediately chose to lower his head and said with a smile: "I blocked the way of all the superior officers, and I deserve death for my humble crime. There are too few people nearby, and it took a lot of effort for us to find these.
If you don't mind, take them away? These young people and that woman, their meat is still a bit chewy."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the black-armored knights changed.
Do these people think they are also man-eating demons?
The soldiers felt the change in the atmosphere and could not help but retreat timidly.
What's wrong? You're right! There has been a war here a few years ago. There are fewer and fewer people, and there is no food and grass. This is what everyone does!
Yan Ling suddenly laughed and glanced at the refugees.
They were dressed in rags, all had sallow faces and thin bodies, and looked frightened and numb.
"It's dry and thin, not much meat!" he said.
After hearing what he said, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. If everyone is the same, it will be easy to handle.
"Shangguan, please forgive me, this area is really remote, and we haven't found anyone alive for a long time... Otherwise, how about we help Shangguan investigate? There seem to be several villages ahead."
Yan Ling waved her hand: "Why bother looking for something far away? Isn't there a big, muscular piece of meat right in front of you?"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking left and right, but saw nothing in the wilderness. Turning back, they met their fierce gazes, and suddenly understood, and their legs became weak with fear.
"Shang Shangguan... We are all our own people, how can we..."
"Who is one of your own?" Commander Xuantiewei shouted, "They are meat, aren't you also meat?"
The black-armored knights had a fierce look in their eyes, and their mounts were about to move forward. The soldiers were extremely frightened and shouted: "We are from the Linshan Guard. If you dare to mess around, our general will not let you go!"
It's a pity that his threats did not scare him away.
Yan Ling turned around and asked, "Who is the general of Linshan Guard? Zhu Kuan?"
"Yes." Commander Xuan Tiewei reported, "The Linshan Guards fought down only a few battalions a few years ago, and asked Zhu Kuande to go there. He was entrenched here and tyrannical, and the people fled without a way to survive, and the grain and grass were harvested.
If he doesn't come up, he will feed on human flesh..."
It is not pity for such a person to die, so Yan Ling is too lazy to argue anymore and plans to kill him.
At this moment, a clear shout suddenly sounded: "It's them, come on!"
Xuantiewei and the group of soldiers were stunned. Does the other side have reinforcements?
The knights immediately grasped their swords and guns and prepared to kill the enemy.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hail of arrows came from both sides. The knights swung their weapons and shot them down. They turned around to see where they came from. They couldn't help but doubt their own eyes.
"It seems to be a woman?"
After the rain of arrows, the opponent rushed down.
The knights saw it clearly now and couldn't believe it: "It's really a woman!"
However, even if she is a woman, she must be beaten when she deserves it!
Seeing that the situation was about to break out, a command came from high on the mountain rocks: "Stop!"
When Yan Ling saw a group of female soldiers, she already felt something was wrong. When she heard this voice again, she was overjoyed.
He hurriedly raised his hand: "Stop everyone! We're on our own!"
Wei Jun finally rushed over from behind, sweating profusely: "Don't fight, don't fight! General Feng, this is the second Young Master Yan!"
Feng Chuncao was holding up a long knife and reluctantly held it back: "Huh? Didn't you say you would take them down?"
Wei Jun pointed to the group of soldiers huddled in the corner: "I'm talking about them!"
Feng Chuncao blinked and looked at the group of black-armored knights inexplicably: "Then where did they come from?"
Yan Ling understood and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Isn't this a coincidence? There was a time difference between the two parties.
By the way, where is Xu Yin? He craned his neck to look, but didn't see it in the queue.
"Second Young Master Yan!" Xiao Sang's voice sounded, "We are here."
Yan Ling turned around when he heard the sound and was stunned when he saw the figure turning out from behind the rocks.
At this time, Xu Yin finally came out of the darkness, looked up and saw Yan Ling's appearance, and was also stunned.
The firelight illuminated the road clearly, and their faces were clearly reflected. They looked familiar, but they were different from the memories.
Counting the time, they haven't seen each other for almost a year.
For teenagers, this period of time is enough for them to change their appearance.
After a while, Xu Yin spoke up first: "Why are you here? Are you out to do something?"
Yan Ling's Adam's apple slid, but he didn't say anything. He moved his eyes away from her face with difficulty and replied: "I figured you were almost there, and the road was not smooth, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect to see you.
Get these things."
Now was not the time to reminisce about old times. He woke up and turned his attention back to the matter in front of him.
"Let's clean up these scum first. Feeding on human flesh is simply inhumane and you deserve to die!"
Xu Yin nodded and looked at Feng Chuncao: "Let's do it!"
"Yes!" Feng Chuncao responded loudly and stepped forward.
The soldiers were so frightened by Xuan Tiewei that when they saw that Feng Chuncao was a woman, they felt a little hope and raised their spears in an attempt to fight back.
But as soon as he raised his gun halfway, Feng Chuncao quickly slashed down with the long knife in his hand. The leader was cut in half by her without making a sound.
Blood spurted out, and the head flew up into the air and then fell down. It rolled several times on the ground with its eyes still wide open.
The commander of Xuantiewei had just turned over and dismounted, and when he saw this scene, his eyes almost dropped.
Seeing the girls rushing up to him, he quickly waved for someone, and if they didn't come, he would let these women finish the job.
Yan Ling suddenly remembered and said: "Keep one or two alive, they will be useful later."
The commander of Xuantiewei narrowly stopped his hand and hit a soldier on the back with the handle of his backhand, then threw the man to his subordinates: "Watch it, the young master wants to live."
Both sides fought for it, and within a short time, the group of more than a dozen people was cleared away.
Wei Jun went over and untied the noose around the young man's neck and said, "Okay, you're all right."
The refugees couldn't believe it: "Master, you, you won't arrest us?"
"Why are we arresting you? We don't eat people."
The refugees cried with joy, knelt down and thanked each other, then helped each other and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Feng Chuncao stopped them, "Do you have somewhere to go?"
The refugees looked at each other, and the young man who had just been rescued said: "Our hometown was hit by war, and we came out to escape. Unexpectedly, when we got here, we encountered those man-eating demons. I heard that the south is good, and we plan to go there.
Go aside."
To the south is Chu Di.
"So do you have anything to eat?"
The young man's mother, the woman, shook her head: "They robbed us of the little dry food we brought. Let's eat whatever we see on the road. It's not winter yet, so there's always something to eat."
A female soldier felt sad when she heard this, and turned around and asked: "Miss Third, can you share some of my rations with them? I also escaped, and luckily I met you."
Xu Yin nodded and said: "The fire in the camp hasn't gone out yet, let's give them a hot meal. I'll give them some dry food tomorrow. Anyway, we are arriving and we will not be short of this food."
The refugees did not expect such a good thing, and they were so happy that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss, you are really a fairy in the sky!"
Xu Yin waved his hand, and a female soldier came forward and led them to the camp to rest.
After the refugees left, Xu Yin looked at Yan Ling: "You asked people to keep them alive. What are you going to do?"
Yan Ling laughed: "Now that you've done it, let's do it. You go back and rest first, I'll do something, and I'll talk to you when I come back later."
Seeing him get on the horse again, Xu Yin's mind raced and he shouted: "Wait a minute."
Yan Ling pulled the reins and looked at her.
Xu Yin looked into his eyes and asked, "Are you going to kill Zhu Kuan? I'll go with you."
