I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

Phew~~~

Roar~~~~~

After a low dragon roar, a five-clawed golden dragon leaped up and circled in the forest.

After a few breaths.

The five-clawed golden dragon descended from the sky, shrank in size, and landed steadily on the ground.

At the same time, Qin Nuan sensed through the Ancestral Dragon's essence and blood and found that the previous sensation had disappeared. He looked at the five-clawed golden dragon coiled on his shoulder and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now that we have merged, let's go to the next place."

Roar~~~

With the roar of the five-clawed golden dragon, the night ring snake turned and moved to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Nuan followed.

An hour later, the group left the valley safely and headed in another direction...

In the following days, Qin Nuan and his companions either harvested those with special abilities or watched the five-clawed golden dragon merge its power...

Two months later.

Qin Nuan once again received instructions from the top leader.

Looking at the news in his hand, Qin Nuan couldn't help but frowned and said to himself in confusion: "The United States actually surrendered? Have they really given up resistance?"

"What?" Although her voice was not loud, it attracted the attention of people around her.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Shura immediately retorted.

"There are so many countries on the blue planet. When it comes to playing tricks and manipulating others, the United States is second to none. They must have some conspiracy or intrigue."

Qin Nuan nodded in agreement.

She handed the note to the two elders beside her and asked in confusion: "This war has lasted for so long. Given the personality of the United States, how could they surrender so easily? Don't they want to struggle a little longer?"

The two elders took the note, read it carefully, and showed the same expression of disbelief on their faces.

After watching it in turn, several people fell into deep thought...

.........

...............

After a moment, Smiling Tiger was the first to break the silence. He said solemnly, "Captain, I think this might be a trap. The United States suddenly surrendered and specifically asked you to go. This is too unreasonable. How did they know that we participated in the battle? There must be something wrong here."

"Yes, Captain. We have always acted independently. How did they know of our existence?" Shura also raised his own question.

"Ah..."

The two elders snorted coldly, "Isn't this obviously a trap? If we can take advantage of the situation, maybe we can..."

Qin Nuan's eyes suddenly lit up as she pondered. A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said softly, "Let's go to Shengdun. I want to see what kind of Hongmen Banquet they have prepared for me."

......

......

Tap tap tap......

Accompanied by the sound of low and powerful footsteps, the disguised Qin Nuan and his group carefully blended into the lively crowd of the Beautiful Country who were welcoming the senior generals of Daxia into the city.

They all have sharp eyes, listen carefully and look in all directions, vigilantly paying attention to all movements around them.

However, despite such caution, they still failed to obtain any valuable intelligence.

When several senior generals of Daxia led their men into Shengdun City, Qin Nuan exchanged glances with the people around him, and then left in tacit understanding...

...............

Three hours later.

Milin Cafe.

Yasha walked into the cafe with steady steps, her eyes sharp and determined.

After finding Qin Nuan's seat, Yasha sat down without hesitation and ordered a cappuccino.

Qin Nuan elegantly picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and then asked softly, "How is the situation?"

Yasha's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice and answered, "They are trying to use our senior generals and you as hostages to force Daxia to withdraw. If Daxia does not agree, they will not let you return to Daxia alive."

Hearing this, Qin Nuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a scornful smile on his lips.

She opened her red lips and said calmly, "It has come to this, yet they are still so arrogant. Could it be that they have some hidden cards in their hands that they haven't revealed yet?"

Yasha also took a sip of coffee and responded in a low voice: "Qin Yu and his team are still investigating, but from the information we have received so far, it seems that the other party does have some tricks up their sleeves."

Qin Nuan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Yasha's opinion.

Then, she made a decisive decision: "In this case, notify the two elders immediately, and we will go to investigate together tonight."

A hint of admiration flashed in Yasha's eyes. She knew that Qin Nuan's decision was both brave and wise.

So she answered simply and clearly: "I understand."

After the conversation ended, the two fell silent and drank the rest of their coffee in silence. Then, they stood up and walked out of the Milin Coffee House together, their figures gradually disappearing in the crowd on the street...

………………

The night gradually enveloped the earth, and a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere spread.

In an exquisite small western-style building, Qin Nuan and several others were concentrating on wiping their weapons, their expressions serious and focused.

Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence of the night.

Qin Nuan and the others stopped what they were doing and exchanged glances. Then Shura carefully picked up his weapon, tiptoed into the yard, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

At the same time, Shura flashed and leaned swiftly against the edge of the wall, listening attentively to the movement outside the door.

"Fox." A low voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the name "fox", Shura immediately stretched out his right hand and gestured to Qin Nuan and others, signaling everyone to relax. The tension in everyone's hearts eased a little.

Then, Shura quickly opened the gate, and after the fox Qin Yu entered the yard, he glanced outside the house vigilantly.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he quickly closed the gate again and walked into the house with Qin Yu.

"Why are you here?" Shura frowned slightly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle as he looked at Qin Yu who suddenly came to him, and asked in a low voice.

"Things have changed."

Shura was slightly stunned, then looked at Qin Nuan who came out.

Before Qin Nuan could ask, Qin Yu said anxiously, "Captain, the situation has changed."

There was a hint of nervousness and seriousness in Qin Yu's tone.

"What's going on?" Qin Nuan asked in a deep voice.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and answered quickly and concisely: "I overheard that the United States will attack Qian Lao and others at the banquet at 8 o'clock tonight.

However, due to time constraints, we did not have time to confirm the accuracy of the news. However, the situation was urgent and did not allow for any hesitation, so I immediately came to ask you for the next course of action.

Daoyi and the others have already left for the banquet."

"Eight o'clock? It's already seven twenty."

Qin Nuan glanced at the wall clock, frowned tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, "Damn! These bastards actually dared to touch Qian Lao and the others, they are really courting death."
