When the carriage stopped again, it had already arrived at the outskirts of the Zhang family's ancient residence. A stone tablet stood on the right side of the road.

It is engraved with the pattern of the surname "Zhang" and two lines of words - Anyone who enters without being a member of our tribe will be killed.

There are even some dead bones not far away around the stone tablet.

Zhang Qishan in the carriage suddenly sat up.

Chu Ning's ears twitched and he lifted the car curtain, "They are coming.

There are more people.”

Er Yuehong dismounted, frowned and looked back, with iron marbles already pinched between his fingertips.

Seeing that Er Yuehong was ready, Chu Ning asked Yin Xinyue, "Sister Yue?" Yin Xinyue nodded.

So Chu Ning took out a gun from Zhang Qishan's clothes and handed it to Er Yuehong.

Adjutant Zhang handed his service gun to Qi Tiezui and said, "Master Ba, you protect them.

Second Master and I will go and divert the pursuers."

Qi Tiezui accepted the order, swallowed his saliva, and his eyes gradually became firm, "Okay!"

Er Yuehong and Adjutant Zhang took cover on the left and right and shot at the people in yellow military uniforms.

Soon, gunshots were heard from the forest.

However, both Adjutant Zhang and Er Yuehong had pistols in their hands and did not have many bullets.

Qi Tiezui was turning around anxiously under the carriage, "What should I do? What should I do..."

Chu Ning took out a dagger and Yin Xinyue looked at him in surprise.

"Sister Yue, are you afraid?"

Yin Xinyue nodded, then shook her head, "You will definitely not let anything happen to us."

Chu Ning smiled, "Yes, I will ensure the safety of all of you."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he lifted the curtain, sat at the driver's seat and picked up the reins, "Master Ba, get in the car."

Qi Tiezui climbed into the car, his face full of disbelief, "We are going to? Charge, charge in?!"

Chu Ning showed Qi Tiezui a mouthful of white teeth, "Yes, rush in."

Qi Tiezui's eyes widened in fear, but he still gritted his teeth and muttered, "Charge! It's better to die in the Zhang family's old house than to die under the guns of the Japanese!"

When Chu Ning heard Qi Tiezui's mumbling, there was a gleam in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, the dagger stained with light pink blood was thrown out and nailed into the stone tablet, which actually vibrated slightly.

At the same time, an iron marble hit the butt of the horse that Er Yuehong was riding.

The horses raised their front hooves and neighed, and Adjutant Zhang and Er Yuehong hurried back at the same time.

Chu Ning could only summon the two people back in this way. With a flick of the reins, the carriage entered the Zhang family's ancient house and passed the stone tablet that symbolized the line between life and death.

When Adjutant Zhang and Er Yuehong saw that the carriage had already started moving, they no longer hesitated and rode together across the line between life and death.

The Japanese pursuers caught up without saying a word and saw that the carriage and the people on the horses were fine after passing the stone tablet.

The leader, who was dressed in villagers' clothes, waved his hand and led his soldiers to rush in.

The carriage stopped. Chu Ning patted Qi Tiezui on the shoulder, jumped off the carriage, raised his hands and jumped to greet Er Yuehong and Adjutant Zhang who came on horseback.

Er Yuehong dismounted and looked at Chu Ning with a smile.

Qi Tiezui moved to Adjutant Zhang's side with his gun in his arms, "Great! We're all fine.

Then why do you make that life and death line sound so magical? "

Chu Ning patted Qi Tiezui's shoulder again, motioning Qi Tiezui to look back.

After the Japanese soldiers crossed the stone tablet and ran forward for more than ten steps, "bang bang bang" explosions were heard.

The power of the explosion carried the people up to the sky and then dropped heavily. After the thunder, the stone statues standing on both sides of the road turned, and arrows shot out from their mouths and sleeves, killing the remaining soldiers.

Qi Tiezui opened his mouth wide, and Chu Ning carefully held Qi Tiezui's chin with his hand to close his mouth.

Adjutant Zhang was satisfied with Qi Tiezui's expression at the moment, and he knew clearly what was going on from then on.

"Why, why are they okay?!"

"Someone help us."

Chu Ning looked at Adjutant Zhang, who nodded.

He had just used the stone tablet to remind the people inside to activate the protection mechanism outside the ancient house after they passed.

Qi Tiezui didn't understand what these two people were talking about, and Er Yuehong couldn't stand Qi Tiezui's silly look.

Helplessly prompted, "Zhang, adjutant."

Qi Tiezui said "Ah?" in surprise.

"Because I am a member of the Zhang family."

Qi Tiezui's eyes widened again, forgetting that he was still holding a gun in his hand. He pointed the muzzle of the gun directly at Adjutant Zhang, who was so scared that he quickly lowered the muzzle of the gun.

Qi Tiezui punched Adjutant Zhang on the shoulder twice, "You! Why didn't you say so earlier! Huh?!"

Adjutant Zhang covered his shoulder in grievance, "I... I thought you knew it a long time ago..."

Chu Ning silently stepped back and got on the carriage. Er Yuehong held his wrist and saw the wound on his hand that had not yet healed.

Chu Ning gently broke free and got into the carriage guiltily. Er Yuehong closed his eyes, and the smile that had just appeared on his face when he saw Chu Ning jumping around to greet them disappeared again.

Yin Xinyue, who was in the car, helped Zhang Qishan sit up and interrupted Qi Tiezui's unilateral accusations and questioning of Adjutant Zhang.

"Don't talk too much, let's go in!"

"You! I'll settle the score with you later!"

Qi Tiezui climbed onto the carriage angrily and slammed the gun into Adjutant Zhang's arms.

The entrance to the old house was overgrown with weeds, and there were two stone lions on both sides. Looking from the outside in, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

The interior of the ancient house was actually staircase-like. Yin Xinyue helped Zhang Qishan walk inside and was about to step onto the stairs.

Suddenly, an emotionless child's voice sounded above my head.

"This is not the place for you. Don't go any further."

Adjutant Zhang stepped forward and protected the few people behind him.

A few people looked up and saw a little boy standing on the steps. He was not very old and had a very handsome appearance.

Chu Ning avoided the protection of Er Yuehong and Adjutant Zhang and saluted the child on the steps.

"Thanks for your help just now."

It seems that this person is the one who activated the protection mechanism for the ancient house.

The child frowned, looked at Chu Ning for a while, and finally said nothing.

"Little friend, are you also a member of the Zhang family?

We have two members of the Zhang family here as well. We need to rescue someone so we have to barge in. Please forgive me."

When Qi Tiezui heard that it was this kid who saved them, he briefly explained his background.

Adjutant Zhang dropped his guard and stepped forward to salute, "Zhang Rishan."

The child's expression was serious, and his delicate brows furrowed again, but he still accepted the bow and answered Adjutant Zhang.

"Zhang Qiling." (Zhang Qiling)
