Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine
Chapter 153 On the cusp of the storm
When Xiao Yunkai heard what his parents said, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter was full of release of his dissatisfaction with the past and irony towards the current situation.
Zhang Yu, who was listening silently on the side, slowly turned his head at the end of Xiao Yunkai's laughter, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Zhixue.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the "silly girl disaster star" that the couple was talking about was Xiao Zhixue, who was standing quietly beside him at this moment, seemingly gentle but actually hiding her talents.
There was a subtle sneer in his eyes. Even though she was respected as a guest in the eyes of the general, in front of her family, she was still the dull woman who could not show her face.
Zhang Yu secretly speculated that if Xiao Zhixue heard such words, she would be filled with shame and anger, and even faint from anger.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Xiao Zhixue was not angry at all. Instead, a faint and mysterious smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth. That smile seemed to contain a sense of detachment and disdain for worldly prejudices.
Then, she suddenly opened the door curtain and walked into the tent with firm and powerful steps, like a sudden spring breeze that stirred the original atmosphere.
In the tent, the three people who had been laughing just now, when they saw Xiao Zhixue's sudden appearance, the smiles on their faces seemed to be frozen by the cold wind, solidifying in an instant, and the air became heavy and tense.
Wang was the first to recover from her shock. She stood up suddenly and yelled at Xiao Zhixue in a sharp and piercing voice: "You crazy girl, you are so shameless. You don't want to do anything good, but you choose to join the army! If I were your mother, I would have killed you, this evil creature, with my own hands!"
His words were full of sarcasm and resentment.
Xiao Zhixue remained unmoved. She took firm steps and approached Wang step by step. Although she had a faint smile on her face, her whole body exuded a cold aura that should not be underestimated.
Faced with this momentum, Wang could not help but step back repeatedly, her face pale and full of fear.
"Don't take another step forward! Stop right there!"
Wang's voice trembled slightly with fear.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunkai and Xiao You hurriedly stepped forward and stood between Xiao Zhixue and Wang, trying to protect their mother.
Xiao Yunkai's face was filled with fury, and he clenched his fat hands into fists, as if he was about to strike out in the next second. But when he was about to strike, a strong hand grabbed his wrist like a clamp.
"Anyone who dares to hurt her will regret it for the rest of his life!"
Fan Yanmu's voice was steady and threatening, his face was ashen, and the strength in his hands continued to increase, causing Xiao Yunkai to suffer unbearable pain. He cried for help repeatedly, his voice distorted by pain.
Xiao Zhixue looked at this scene and shook her head gently, indicating that Fan Yanmu didn't need to go too far.
Fan Yanmu understood and let go of his hand.
Xiao Yunkai staggered backward and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao You extended a helping hand in time and he was able to stabilize his body.
Xiao Zhixue's gaze fell on Wang again, and the smile on her lips became even colder, full of sarcasm and warning.
"Whether I join the army is not up to you, but I can let you experience what it means to truly suffer."
After she finished speaking, she quickly pulled out the whip at her side and swung it in the air. The whip shadow was like a dragon, extremely accurate. Wang couldn't avoid it in time and the whip hit her body. She screamed in pain and curled up on the ground, her body shaking.
After witnessing this scene, Xiao You and Xiao Yunkai were completely furious. They were about to take revenge on Xiao Zhixue, but were stopped by Fan Yanmu. The two knew very well that Fan Yanmu was ruthless, and they had no place to vent their anger for a while.
At this moment, Zhang Yu led two soldiers into the tent. The two soldiers looked like they had seen a savior and called out anxiously, "Sir, please arrest these two men."
Although Zhang Yu felt contempt for Xiao Zhixue in his heart, he did not dare to act on his own due to his status and the general's orders.
What's more, the general has ordered him to lead Xiao You and Xiao Yunkai into the army, and any disobedience will face serious consequences.
As a result, Zhang Yu looked embarrassed and was caught in a dilemma for a moment.
Zhang Yu gave his subordinates a deep command, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "Take them away immediately!"
This brief instruction was like an invisible sword, cutting off the last glimmer of hope in Xiao You and Xiao Yunkai's hearts.
They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with incredible joy, and they became more and more convinced that Xiao Zhixue's position in this camp was crucial.
However, this surprise was like a short-lived firework in the night sky, quickly swallowed up by the shadow of reality.
In the blink of an eye, several soldiers gathered around them silently like ghosts. Their movements were neat and professional. With a flip of their iron fists, Xiao You and Xiao Yunkai were firmly controlled.
Suddenly, a cold and iron-like announcement rang in my ears: "The general orders you to join the army immediately. Those who disobey will be severely punished!"
This sudden order was like a bolt from the blue. It made the two men turn pale and they stood there for a moment, their thoughts stagnant.
How could they, an ordinary father and son who had never experienced the smoke of war, suffer such a misfortune and be pushed to the forefront of the battlefield by the ruthless fate?
The fear and confusion that surged in my heart turned into a desperate struggle.
After struggling to break free, he was about to flee when he was shocked to find Zhang Yu standing at the exit of the tent, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his eyes as sharp as torches, and he said in a cold voice: "Those who disobey military orders will die!"
These cold words were like a biting gust of ice that instantly penetrated the hearts of Xiao You and Xiao Yunkai. Their legs began to tremble involuntarily and they both fell to their knees with a thud. Amid the flying dust, they were filled with helplessness and fear.
Xiao You kowtowed repeatedly, tears mixed with dirt and fell down, sobbing: "Sir, please spare us! We are just civilians seeking refuge, unarmed, how can we bear the hardships of the battlefield? We don't want to be a meaningless sacrifice!"
Next to him, Xiao Yunkai was still very young, only ten years old, with tears and snot mixed on his little face, looking particularly miserable. His eyes were filled with fear, and there was infinite despair for the future.
Facing the two people's pleading, Zhang Yu's face was stern, his eyes moved slightly, and a slight glance was an order.
The soldiers on both sides understood what was meant and strode forward. The swords on their waists flashed, and the sharp blades gently touched the necks of Xiao You and Su Dazhuang. The cold metal chill made people tremble.
"Don't even think about escaping. Submission is the only way out!"
The soldier's warning completely extinguished the two men's last fantasy.
Xiao You and Su Dazhuang's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, as if they had fallen into an icy cave. They realized that they could not escape even with wings.
Helplessly, they could only be escorted by the soldiers and slowly take heavy steps towards the world outside the tent, each step seeming to weigh a thousand pounds.
At this moment, Wang, who was standing by, screamed like an enraged lioness: "No! You can't take my husband and son away like this!"
She tried to rush forward desperately, but was suddenly whipped from behind and fell to the ground.
