As soon as Dong Jiamu finished speaking, the boy's face flushed red, and he angrily cursed:
"You shameless bastard! If you dare come any closer, see if I dare to kill you!"
Dong Jiamu laughed heartily and walked step by step toward the two siblings.
"You think you can kill me? The person who can kill me hasn't even been born yet!"
As Dong Jiamu drew closer, the girl, despite her fear, grabbed her younger brother and pushed him behind her.
"You...you mustn't lay a hand on my brother, I...I'll go with you." Her pale face was already covered in tears.
"None of the people they kidnapped came back alive. I won't let you go with them!" The boy gritted his teeth, suddenly leaped out from behind his sister, and swung his wood-chopping knife at Dong Jiamu.
Seeing that he dared to make a move, Dong Jiamu showed a mocking expression, dodged the woodcutter's knife by tilting his body, and then kicked the boy in the stomach.
The boy took the kick squarely, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
Dong Jiamu walked towards him with a cold face.
"Don't kill my brother! Please let him go! I'll go with you!" The girl cried, tears streaming down her face, and hurriedly stood in front of Dong Jiamu.
Dong Jiamu snorted coldly and suddenly pushed the girl to the ground.
"Hmph, you brat, how dare you lay a hand on me! I'll chop you in two!"
The boy was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up. He lay half-lying on the ground, his eyes practically spitting fire.
He gritted his teeth and said to Dong Jiamu, word by word:
"I'm not afraid even if you kill me! When the Prince of Zhenbei arrives, he will definitely slaughter all of you beasts!"
"You beasts! None of you will escape!"
"Not a single one will escape!!!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Jiamu laughed dismissively.
"The Prince of Zhenbei? He's a nobody! He can barely protect himself, and you brat expect him to come and save you? Hahaha!"
"That's the funniest joke in the world!"
Upon hearing this, the boy struggled to sit up and roared with all his might:
"Those bandits from Jubeichuan were all killed by the Prince of Zhenbei! Not a single one was spared! You will all suffer the same fate!"
"Just you wait! I'll see you in the afterlife!"
The boy gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, his eyes filled with a death wish. He gritted his teeth and lunged at Dong Jiamu!
Seeing her younger brother fight desperately, the girl crawled to his side and cried out in anguish, "Xiao Chuan! No!"
Dong Jiamu's gaze was cold as he watched the fearless youth rush towards him, and he gave a cold smile.
"You brat! How dare you compare us Northern Barbarian warriors to bandits?"
"As soon as the Prince of Zhenbei arrives, he will be routed by us! Once we take him down, Hu Rong Pass will be ours, the Northern Barbarians. It's a pity you won't see the day we behead the Prince of Zhenbei."
"But once you get down there, you're sure to run into him, hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Jiamu raised his broadsword and slashed at the boy!
In the blink of an eye...
A horse neighed, and with that sound, a figure as fast as a blur leaped into the house.
Dong Jiamu's eyes narrowed, and he was about to turn around.
But the next instant, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
A long spear pierced the sky, moving like a dragon, leaving only a blur before piercing Dong Jiamu's head!
Blood gushed out along with brain matter, Dong Jiamu's pupils dilated, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground!
As Dong Jiamu fell, a handsome young man wearing silver-white armor appeared before the siblings.
His face was resolute, and his eyes held a hint of anger.
At that moment, shouts and cries came from outside the house.
This sudden turn of events startled even the siblings. They never expected someone to suddenly enter and be so incredibly brave, killing Dong Jiamu with a single shot!
This man's clothing was completely unlike that of the city's garrison.
"Don't go out, there's a fierce battle going on outside." Seeing that the siblings had no external injuries, the man said this and then turned and walked out of the house.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the boy hurriedly asked:
"Thank you for saving us!"
"My benefactor, who...who are you?"
The man turned around, his handsome face filled with determination.
"My name is Huo Qubing, and my lord is the Prince of Zhenbei. He is about to arrive at Hurong Pass!"
"The Prince of Zhenbei will drive these barbarian horses out of Hurong Pass! The barbarian horses will be completely expelled!"
Having said that, Huo Qubing picked up his plum blossom spear and strode away...
Behind him, the boy trembled violently, tears streaming down his face, while the girl hugged her brother tightly, tears dripping down her cheeks.
"The Prince of Zhenbei, he... he's really here..."
The siblings hugged each other and cried their hearts out...
........
outside the house.
Five hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already surrounded the barbarian horses. They carried long halberds and charged towards the terrified barbarian horses!
It turned out that Huo Qubing had been leading five hundred elite cavalrymen towards Hurong Pass all night.
Upon entering the city, Huo Qubing was enraged to see the barbarian horses running amok and immediately ordered them to be killed on the spot.
At this moment, facing these highly skilled Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Hu cavalry could never have predicted that they would suddenly attack.
They had initially thought they could put up a fight, but as soon as they engaged in combat, they realized they were wrong. These Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen were all highly skilled in martial arts and incredibly brave.
The Northern Hu soldiers were originally skilled horsemen and adept at mounted combat, but when faced with these Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they were surprised to find that the black-armored cavalrymen in front of them were even more capable of fighting on horseback than themselves.
