Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Yun Qi was already familiar with Pingdu County. He led Lin Yinan and others to the place where He Xiong was staying in a familiar manner.

He Xiong was afraid of death after all, so even the courtyard where he lived was guarded by many soldiers inside and outside, and there were soldiers patrolling from time to time.

The group hid on the roof and waited until the soldiers on duty in the first half of the night finished their shift before taking action.

The five of them were all equipped with bows and crossbows that could shoot arrows continuously. With a wave of Lin Yinan's hand, arrows shot towards the soldiers on duty in the darkness.

All the soldiers were killed by one arrow, and there was no other sound except the dull thud of their bodies falling to the ground.

He Xiong was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. He was struck by lightning. Although his life was not in danger, his skin was severely burned and was now covered with black herbs. The pain had kept him awake day and night in the past two days, but today the pain had eased and he dragged his exhausted body to bed early.

With a muffled sound, He Xiong woke up from his sleep for no reason. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in black with his face covered standing beside the bed.

He was startled, "Who are you?"

"The one who came to take your life." The man in black had a sharp and cold light in his eyes and his voice was cold.

Is it a woman?

He Xiong was stunned and his eyes swept over the two maids lying on the ground behind the man in black.

He Xiong supported himself on the bed and tried to get up, but a long sword was pressed against his neck. The cold tip of the sword made his scalp numb.

"If you move, this sword will cut your blood vessels and throat."

"Lady, please spare my life!" He Xiong immediately raised his hands, begging for mercy, and glanced at the big knife placed at the end of the bed. He calmly looked for the right opportunity and tried to counterattack.

Seeing through his little trick at a glance, Lin Yinan kicked the sword away with his foot, and his hand holding the sword unconsciously became heavier.

"When will your reinforcements arrive?"

There was a tingling sensation on the skin at the back of my neck, and warm blood flowed down my neck.

With his life hanging by a thread, He Xiong was panicking. He didn't want to die yet.

"It has been five days since the letter was sent. It will arrive in Pingdu County in two days at the earliest."

He felt the sword on the back of his neck suddenly loosen.

He Xiong looked up at Lin Yinan. Even though she was dressed in black, he recognized her at the first sight.

He laughed and said, "City Lord Lin, the Heavenly King will send 200,000 elite soldiers to support us this time. It would be a pity if such a beautiful woman like you died. Actually, we can sit down and talk about cooperation."

Lin Yinan estimated the speed of the Hu reinforcements in his mind. Hearing this, he glanced at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"No need, I never work with the dead!"

After she finished speaking, she clenched the sword in her hand, channeled all her internal strength and chopped it down fiercely. Blood immediately splattered on the bed curtain, and He Xiong's head fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Yinan wiped the sword clean with the bed curtain, then tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped He Xiong's head and walked out.

Yun Er led Lin Yian and the others to deal with all the Hu people in the courtyard.

Seeing that she was holding something dripping with blood in her hand, he was delighted, knowing that He Xiong's head was in his hands.

"go!"

At Lin Yinan's command, five people jumped onto the roof and headed towards the city gate.

The commander of the city gate brought a team of soldiers and stopped the five people.

"Who are you who dare to trespass into the city gate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow rushing straight towards his door.

The general at the city gate also drew out his sword and was about to chop, but heard someone say from the other side: "If you don't take it, this is your General He Xiong!"

Fearing that the other party would cheat, the commander at the city gate quickly used the tip of his knife to grab the bundle and hold it firmly.

Before it was opened, a strong smell of blood was smelled. The commander at the city gate hurriedly opened the bundle and saw a head with disheveled hair, a bloody face, and eyes open facing him.

Looking closely, it was their great general He Xiong!

"Your great general He Xiong is dead, why don't you quickly open the city gates and surrender!"

The commander of the city gate knew that the situation was hopeless, so he no longer resisted. He threw away his weapon, took off his armor, waved to the gatekeepers and shouted, "Open the city gate!"

With his order, the signal flare fired by Yun Qi rose into the air, and the city gate was suddenly filled with deafening shouts of killing.

The city gate slowly opened, and the movement here alarmed the other soldiers in the city.

Seeing that the city gate was lost and hearing the soldiers report that the general had been beheaded, the lieutenant generals were so scared that they had no mood to fight. They fled from the north gate with their remaining troops.

The Hu deputy general took away a lot of soldiers and horses. Lin Yinan left Yun Mo to deal with the surrendered soldiers in Pingdu County, and personally took most of the soldiers and horses to chase them.

When they chased them to Linjiang County, only a few of the remaining Hu people had been killed.

"City Lord, there is a group of Hu soldiers in Linjiang County rushing towards us."

Yun Qi was the first to discover the situation ahead, and after investigating, he found out that it was actually the reinforcements of the Hu people.

"Have the Hu reinforcements arrived?"

"Looks like it from his clothes and equipment."

Lin Yinan wiped the bloody sweat off his face with his hand and waved his hand, "How many troops are there?"

"I estimate 20,000 to 30,000."

Glancing at the elite soldiers around him who were becoming more and more courageous as the battle went on, Lin Yinan brandished his sword and rode his horse forward.

"Brothers, fight to the bitter end for our homeland!"

The Hu people were right in front of them, but they seemed not to see Lin Yinan and the others. They all turned around and engaged in a fight with the other group of people chasing after them.

Lin Yinan hurriedly stopped and watched.

Which group of people were chasing the Hu people?

Yun Er narrowed his only remaining eye and recognized the person at a glance.

"Lord City Lord, the people chasing us seem to be the imperial army."

"The soldiers of the imperial court?"

"That's right!" Yun Qi affirmed.

Lin Yinan: "Pass the order down, beat the drum!"

As the drums sounded, Lin Yinan raised his sword and led the soldiers in formation to charge forward.

Under the pincer attack from both sides by Lin Yinan and the imperial army, the Hu people were quickly wiped out. The troops were called back, and Lin Yinan led his soldiers out of the battlefield, staring at the imperial army from afar, across the field of Hu people's corpses.

Xie Chong sat on his tall horse and looked far ahead, "Who are those people who just helped us?"

The deputy general bowed and said, "Reporting to the general, those people are dressed in a very mixed manner. Some are wearing the uniforms of the government army, and some have the insignia of aristocratic families. I think it should be a team organized by the Nandi government to fight together."

"Let's go meet them."

As they were getting closer, the deputy general rode forward and looked up and down at the team led by Lin Yinan. Although the soldiers in the team were dressed differently, they were just as good as the regular army in killing the Hu people.

The deputy general glanced at Yun Er and Yun San and was the first to introduce himself.

"Everyone, our general is General Jianwu who led the troops south to quell the rebellion. I wonder who is leading your troops?"

"It's me!" Lin Yinan rode forward and looked at the person in front of him with cold eyes.

The deputy general was stunned to see the man dressed in black, who looked to be in his early twenties, with his hair tied up high. He had a pair of cold and sharp eyes under his beautiful face, and held a long sword in his hand, making him look heroic and extraordinary.

The leader is actually a woman!!

However, at this moment, Yun Mo was riding over with a small group of people.

When Xie Chong saw the person coming, he was obviously startled, thinking that he was seeing things.

I didn't expect to see him here!
