What do you want to do?
Chen Xiang didn't expect that Qiu Laoda and his group would catch up, so he led Zhu Wen and the others to protect Old Lady Zhu behind him.
The noise woke Xixi from her hazy sleep, and she looked around at the bandits in a daze.
Upon seeing the bandits appear, her face instantly turned deathly pale.
Here they come again? She had only been asleep for a short while, and these bandits had already caught up with her.
She looked around anxiously and found that her father was leading troops on patrol in Mohe City.
[Father, he didn't even tie him up while he was in the city.]
[Furthermore, he has many very capable subordinates around him.]
Xi Xi's anxious voice reached Pei Sining's ears smoothly. He rolled his eyes and hid behind Chen Xiang.
"Lord Chen, you hold these people off. Xiao Bao and I will go and inform General Zhu."
Chen Xiang turned his head and nodded to Pei Sining, "Then I'll leave everything to the young master."
After saying that, he drew his broadsword and pointed it at the bandits, "What are you doing? I am an official of the imperial court, ordered to escort prisoners to Mohe City."
"An official appointed by the imperial court? Hahaha, it seems you know nothing at all?"
After hearing Chen Xiang's words, Boss Qiu laughed loudly with his head tilted back, his tone full of contempt.
The bandits surrounding the Zhu family also heard Chen Xiang's voice and joined Qiu Laoda in laughing.
Enraged by the shrill noises around him, Zhu Wen took out a crossbow from his back and shot it at Old Qiu.
"Even if the Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, so what? We are still officials of the imperial court, while you are just a bunch of rats that can't stand the light of day."
"What else can you do besides robbing innocent people?"
Boss Qiu easily dodged the arrow shot by Zhu Wen, quickly suppressed his smile, and stared at everyone with a cold expression.
While the others were arguing, Pei Sining and Zhu Xiaobao quickly crawled under the horses and crawled forward.
After leaving the group, the two ran quickly towards the city.
Chen Xiang was worried that Qiu Laoda would get angry and make a move in front of the city gate, so he quickly pulled Zhu Wen back and angrily reminded him.
"Zhu Wen, you were too impulsive."
"Boss, this is still under General Zhu's jurisdiction, so these people won't dare to make a move easily."
Zhu Wen had calculated that the bandits wouldn't dare to make a move in front of the city gate, which is why he wanted to create a disturbance to get Pei Sining and Xiao Bao to leave.
Sure enough, after staring at Zhu Wen for a moment, Boss Qiu suppressed his anger and extended an invitation to Chen Xiang with a smile.
"Lord Chen, Mohe City has long been depleted of resources. Why don't you come to my village as a guest and we can have a good chat?"
"Thank you for your kindness, we will not leave Mohe City."
Chen Xiang also sensed something amiss in Qiu Laoda's words. It seemed Zhu Wenmeng was right; these bandits dared not make a move outside Mohe City.
That's why they would try to lure them away from Mohe City, making it easier to take action against them.
Boss Qiu was surprised that these people were refusing to listen to reason and instead chose to suffer the consequences. He smiled sinisterly.
"Do you think we wouldn't dare to attack you outside Mohe City?"
"You should have heard of General Zhu's reputation. This is his territory. If we make a move..."
"Boss, be careful..."
Before Chen Xiang could finish speaking, Old Qiu brandished his broadsword at him. Fortunately, Zhu Wen noticed in time and pulled him back, thus preventing injury.
Chen Xiang stared in surprise at the bandit leader sitting on his horse, clenching his fists in anger. "You dare to make a move outside the city?"
"Boss, stop wasting time talking to them and just take them back."
The bandits, who had been itching to make their move, revealed a sinister smile, gripped their broadswords, and slowly approached Chen Xiang and his companions on horseback.
Chen Xiang nervously stepped back, gripping his broadsword tightly, and turned to give instructions to Zhu Wen and An Qing.
"Don't be nervous, protect Grandma Zhu and the others, we'll fight them to the death."
Zhu Wen, unable to contain his excitement, replied, "Boss, don't worry, today we'll show these bastards our strength."
"Charge!"
At Zhu Wen's roar, the group charged at the bandits with their broadswords, and Zhu Haotian and Zhu Dabao also joined the battle.
He led Zhu Dabao to slash at the horse's legs, then forcefully shoved away the bandits who surrounded them.
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, the sound of chaotic hoofbeats came from the city gate behind them.
"Take them all."
Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Laoda looked over and saw that it was Zhu Shengan. He quickly turned around, mounted his horse, and shouted at the bandits.
"Run!"
Unfortunately, before he could leave, Zhu Shengan and his men stopped him. "Boss Qiu, we've been looking for you for so long, but we didn't expect you to come to us on your own initiative."
Despite Zhu Shengan's imposing presence, Qiu Laoda showed no fear and knelt before him with a cold laugh.
"Hahaha, so what if you catch me? Your Mohe City will be occupied sooner or later, and then I'll be free again."
Zhu Shengan didn't want to hear this person's nonsense anymore. With a cold face, he quickly swung his broadsword and brought it down.
Moments later, Qiu Laoda collapsed in a pool of blood, and the other bandits also laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Grandma Zhu stepped out from the crowd in surprise, her eyes slightly red, and she reached out her hand to Zhu Shengan with a sob in her voice.
"Boss, is that you, boss?"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Shengan turned around and looked at Old Madam Zhu. He saw that his once elegant and noble mother now had disheveled hair, white hair on both sides of her temples, wore dirty cloth clothes, and had a weathered face.
His eyes immediately reddened, and he quickly jumped off the horse, staggered forward a few steps, and knelt down in front of Old Lady Zhu.
"Mother, I've made you suffer."
Looking at her son, who had aged considerably, Old Mrs. Zhu stroked his head and nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
"As long as you are alive, your mother will not suffer."
Suddenly, she remembered that Xixi had not yet met the eldest son, so she quickly wiped away her tears and turned to look for her daughter-in-law.
"Oh right, you have a daughter now, come and see Xixi."
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Liu, carrying Xixi on her back, slowly walked out of the crowd, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.
"Husband, this is Xixi, your little daughter."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shengan excitedly got up from the ground, quickly stepped forward to help Liu Shi, and followed his wife's gaze to Xixi in the swaddling clothes.
"This girl is my daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Xixi."
Liu excitedly grasped Zhu Shengan's hand, happily bouncing her back slightly, and turned her head to speak to Xixi.
"Xixi, look at Daddy."
Wow, is this Daddy? He looks so rugged, with so much beard!
[I want Daddy to hug me!]
Seeing Zhu Shengan's strong and rugged appearance, Xixi felt a sense of security and reached out her hand to him, making cooing sounds.
Zhu Shengan, who had been all smiles, froze on his face the moment he heard Xixi's voice. Where did that voice come from?
He squinted and looked around warily, and after finding no babies around, he finally fixed his gaze on his daughter.
Yan Yan had told him beforehand that there was a monster in the group disguised as a human, and that his cousin and his wife were killed by this monster.
Judging from the number of people in the group, these two people are indeed not seen. Could the monster she mentioned be her daughter?
