He Fengmian and the others exuded a menacing aura that deterred them from approaching.
At this moment, the city gate slowly opened.
Zhou Meng received the general's order and loudly proclaimed, "Tonight, we will distribute porridge here. Anyone who wants to enter the city will be registered tomorrow with their place of origin and the names of their ancestors for three generations. Anyone who cannot provide a clear account will be executed on the spot."
These words caused another uproar, but most of the people were happy about them.
Only a few men in the crowd, their faces grim, exchanged glances.
One of them bowed his head slightly, and another person shouted, "Why should we believe you?"
Another man in the corner shouted, "That's right! We've been here for two days, but you keep refusing to let us into the city. Once you get in, you'll lock us out of the city, not caring about our lives."
"We want to go into the city."
"That's right, we want to go into the city."
Several people were encouraging everyone there, clearly trying to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
The people, who were already starving, were suddenly filled with enthusiasm upon hearing this encouragement, and were about to join in when...
He Fengmian raised his right hand and made an attack gesture.
The cavalrymen beside them had already raised their bows and arrows, and with a few swift shots, they headed towards the men who were fanning the flames.
Everyone screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.
The man hadn't expected He Fengmian to dare to make a move directly. Knowing he had been exposed, he leaped up, drew his soft sword, and charged towards He Fengmian.
Shulan watched as these people were able to leap forward. Having only ever seen this on television before, she was immediately intrigued and craned her neck to see what was happening.
But when he saw the sword flashing with an unusual purple light, he remembered a scene from a TV show and shouted, "Be careful, that sword is poisoned!"
He Fengmian, however, seemed to have been prepared, using his silver spear to block the flying soft sword.
With a clang, the sound of cold weapons clashing was extremely jarring.
At the same time, after bending over in an extremely skillful posture, he thrust his spear at the attacker with lightning speed.
Sure enough, those who could become generals were not fools. Even though the man tried to dodge quickly, the spear still pierced straight into his chest.
He looked down at the spear in his chest, still incredulous, clearly not expecting to die like this.
He Fengmian didn't even glance at it, and with a swift movement of his spear, the corpse fell to the ground.
Sitting on his horse, he remained calm and solemn as he watched the others subdue the enemies.
Shulan, unlike the mother and daughter, was not trembling as she watched all this.
I couldn't help but whisper a cheer: "Beautiful!"
Although Liu Moyang was wary of his surroundings, he maintained a very relaxed demeanor.
Hearing this, and seeing Miss Xie's radiant face and sparkling eyes, he paused, then asked curiously, "Isn't Madam afraid?"
Shulan's eyes remained fixed on the live, action-packed martial arts fight scene, her mind still a little blank: "What's there to be afraid of?"
Liu Moyang deliberately said, "Our general is a ruthless killer, bloodthirsty by nature. Aren't you afraid, Madam?"
After watching the people fighting, Liu Moyang paused strangely for a moment, then almost burst out laughing.
However, his eyes remained fixed on Shulan, wanting to see her disgust and fear.
But the man looked puzzled and said, "Killing people is killing enemies, so what's there to be afraid of? As for being bloodthirsty, only a psychopath would like blood."
Looking at the chaotic fleeing civilians, she looked at him earnestly: "There is no such thing as a peaceful life in this world. It is only because you soldiers are carrying the burden and protecting us. Without you, behind these fleeing civilians would be the enemy's swords."
He looked at the man who had captured all the enemies, and one of them was still alive. He tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but his jaw was dislocated.
In a lighthearted tone: "So I think that a person who can be respected by everyone is unlikely to be bloodthirsty."
She's not blind, after all this time.
Although He Da Hu Zi was aloof and taciturn, he was not a bad person, and his temperament was peaceful and steady, completely unlike the legends.
Liu Moyang glanced at his friend, who had frozen for a moment, his eyes filled with a deep smile, and said, "Madam is truly insightful; I admire her."
Before Shulan could exchange more than a few words of mutual flattery, she heard the voice in front of her say, "Let's go into town."
The city gates were now fully open, and He Fengmian rode in first, but not a single refugee wanted to follow.
Once inside the city, it wasn't as desolate as she had imagined.
The houses where everyone lives are the kind of houses with blue bricks and tiles. However, because there are very few green plants here, and today the wind is strong and there is a lot of dust, a layer of sand has been blown onto the street, giving the whole place a gray and dusty feeling.
On the streets, people greeted the large army warmly upon seeing them, saying, "The General is back!"
He Fengmian nodded to everyone, while the other generals were much more relaxed and greeted everyone in turn.
The feeling of finally being home made them feel very relaxed.
There was even a place where women were all upstairs, flirting with the generals downstairs, while the men on horseback only exchanged glances.
Shulan watched all this, clicking her tongue in amazement.
Then Liu Moyang led her down another path, and the group arrived at a large mansion.
The plaque above has the three characters "General's Mansion" written in gold powder, which looks very imposing.
Just then, the door opened.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties hurried out with several servants. Upon seeing Liu Moyang, he smiled and said, "Young Master Liu."
