Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Thousands of ragged refugees surrounded dozens of mule carts carrying goods.

They were all shocked by the tall, magnificent, thick and solid city walls.

"Brother, it seems that the old woman did not lie. This wall is very new and you can tell it was just built." A man with a wretched look approached the leading man and said.

"It would be great if we could live in it." Another man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks had envy in his eyes.

The leading man, with his bones protruding, raised his head with a sinister look and looked back at the secret guards holding bows and arrows on the wall.

He spat on the ground, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, "Cats and dogs, keep an eye on the merchants transporting goods, don't let them run away."

"Don't worry, Boss. They definitely can't get away."

"Boss, do you think they will open the city gate and let us in?" Ah Mao swallowed, his neck was sore from holding his head high.

Ah Mao slapped Ah Gou on the back of his head. "With so many goods in our hands, how dare they disobey us? Stop encouraging others and destroying your own prestige."

Lin Yinan followed Yun Mo onto the city wall and looked at the crowded crowd outside the city gate.

At a glance, I saw the merchants and dozens of mule carts being held hostage by the refugees.

Yun Mo naturally saw it as well. His face was gloomy and his eyes were flickering.

"Boss, look, that should be their leader." Ah Mao pointed conspicuously towards where Lin Yinan and the others were standing.

The leader looked in the direction he pointed, and what came into view was a stunning woman with delicate features, fair skin, and a dazzling glow.

Greed appeared on his face. He raised his head and shouted arrogantly towards the city wall, "Listen, people on the city wall. I have no intention of being your enemy. I just want a place to stay. If you are willing to open the city gate and let us in, I am willing to return these goods with both hands."

The villagers on the city wall were so angry that they jumped up and down and cursed.

"Bah! How shameless! These goods originally belonged to us."

Yun Mo said with a cold face and expressionless face, "Let go of the goods and merchants, and I can spare your lives!"

The leader laughed loudly and pointed at the refugees following him, showing no fear at all.

"I just don't believe you can kill them all?"

"Then have you made up your mind not to return it?" Yun Mo said coldly.

Using the wide sleeves to cover himself, Lin Yinan took out the sleeve arrow from the space and quietly tied it around his wrist.

Instigated by the leader, many of his loyal followers came out to join in the fun.

"Open the city gate!"

"Let us enter the city!"

"Open the gate! Open the gate!"

"..."

Yun Mo ordered the secret guards around him, "Archers, get ready!"

Upon seeing this, the villagers quickly retreated inside the city wall to avoid causing trouble for the secret guards.

The leader's lackeys shouted even more fiercely when they saw this. "They don't dare to shoot. Come on, let's break down the city gate together. Then we will have a place to stay!"

The excited refugees even threw the goods on the mule carts on the ground, removed the lassoes of the mule carts, lifted the carts and were ready to crash them into the city gates.

The leader looked at Yun Mo and others on the city wall provocatively, and his gaze finally fell on Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan raised his hand with a cold smile, pointed the hidden arrow at him, and said silently, "You're dead!"

The leader didn't understand what was going on and laughed wildly.

"Fire arrows!"

Yun Mo waved his hand, and the secret guards released their bowstrings. Arrows cut through the air, and more than a dozen feather arrows shot at the people who were about to reach the city gate.

What followed was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh and screams one after another.

The person following behind was so frightened that he was stunned for half a second, then ran away with his head in his hands.

The leader's smile froze on his face, and he looked up at the city wall with bloodshot eyes.

But he saw an arrow flying towards his door quickly. Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pulled Agou next to him to block it in front of him.

Agou was shot in the neck, and a few drops of blood spurted out and splashed on his face, still carrying the warmth of Agou's body.

He looked up in shock, only to see the fairy-like woman quickly shooting another arrow at him.

He pushed the breathless Agou away and rolled on the ground, managing to escape again.

Damn it, these guys have no martial ethics at all, they attack you from behind if you disagree with them.

The sudden change made the refugees following behind terrified and they fled in all directions, fearing that they would be the next soul to be shot by the arrows.

The merchant who came to deliver goods squatted beside the mule cart, pulling the reins tightly to control the frightened mule.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Ah Mao wiped the blood on his face that belonged to someone unknown.

The two men hid behind a mule cart and stared at the archers on the city wall through the mule cart.

The leader spat viciously, "Do we still have those rags soaked in kerosene?"

"Yes, yes! I have them all with me."

As Ah Mao spoke, he took off the bag on his back and took out something wrapped in oil paper.

"Light it up! Burn down their city gates! We can't let our brothers die in vain!"

The secret guards were on alert when they saw burning fireballs being thrown towards the city gate, which instantly became a sea of ​​fire.

The secret guards on the watchtower held basins of water and poured them down. They did this several times in a row. Due to the wrong angle, only a few drops of water splashed onto the fire, making a sizzling sound.

The fireball soaked in kerosene burned more and more vigorously.

"Hahaha, now even if the city gate is burned, we can still get in."

Many refugees were laughing wildly below.

"Anan, stay here and go down to see them."

Yun Mo nodded to Yun Ye, drew the sword from his waist, and jumped off the city wall. Yun Ye followed closely with several skilled secret guards.

The refugees did not expect that they would come down from the city wall directly. When they reacted, they were ready to rush up with their swords in hand.

However, he was forced to retreat again and again by the rain of arrows shot from the city wall and could not move forward even a single step.

Lin Yinan's eyes were sharp as he stared at the leader hiding behind the mule cart.

The Yun Mo brothers, along with the secret guards, used their swords to knock away the burning fireballs near the city gate.

The danger at the city gate was eliminated. Looking at the refugees who were ready to make a move with knives in hand, the two brothers exchanged glances and rushed forward with their secret guards to fight with them.

At this time, the two people hiding behind the mule cart moved.

Lin Yinan seized the opportunity and shot the arrow decisively.

Ah Mao fell to the ground with a trembling short arrow stuck in his forehead, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

The leading man glanced at Lin Yinan who was standing on the city wall, and rolled a few times under the cover of the donkey cart, moving away from the range of the arrows.

Seeing Yun Mo and his men killing the brothers who followed him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

He simply made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said to the refugees who dared not to move forward, "Brothers, as long as there is green mountains, there is no fear of running out of firewood. Let's go!"

As he said this, he took the remaining one hundred people and hurriedly ran towards Xihe County.

The refugees who followed with their families were hesitating whether to chase after them, but were stopped by several of them.

"Don't go! There's nothing good in going with those desperate criminals. It's better to stay here and beg the people in the city. Maybe there's a way out."

"Yes! We are not in the same group with them."
