Looking at the weapons in the hands of these assassins, Mo Ye felt a little surprised.

His eyes swept across the enemy in front of him like cold lightning, and he asked coldly: "Wanjian Villa? Qiu Qianshan sent you here?"

The leader of several assassins looked at Mo Ye and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he did not respond to Mo Ye's question.

Seeing this, Mo Ye's face darkened: "Go back and tell your leader not to have any thoughts about the Mu family anymore, otherwise I will come to visit them in person."

His tone was calm and firm, revealing an unquestionable spirit.

The sword in the leader's hand trembled a little. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to lead everyone away.

Just as they turned to leave, Mo Ye cast his gaze at Xia Qin standing aside and asked with some concern: "Xia Xia, when did you provoke the Qin family?"

Xia Qin was a little confused by this question. Aren't these people from Wanjian Villa? How did they get involved with the Qin family?

She was a little confused. Did Wanjian Villa obey the Qin family?

"The Qin family? Then I might have offended them a long time ago." Xia Qin said helplessly.

"Wanjian Villa attached itself to the Qin family a few years ago and became the largest sect in the martial arts world. The few people just now were all disciples of their head sect. Their appearance here must have been an order from the Qin family."

Xia Qin suddenly realized that if that was the case, there was no need to think about it anymore. It must have been Qin Ruoran and Qin Zhengran who ordered it. After all, apart from them, she had not offended anyone else.

She sighed softly, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: "They seem to be very afraid of you?"

"I'm not afraid of that," Mo Ye waved his hand and said calmly, "With the status of the Qin family in the martial arts world, even if all the martial arts sects unite, they may not be afraid. After all, they have the support of the Qin family, and the martial arts people will never be able to confront the imperial court."

"Then why were they so obedient just now?" Xia Qin blinked and asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Mo Ye shrugged, a satisfied smile on his face, "For them, there are only two choices - either die now, or go back to the sect to inform them. This decision is actually not difficult to make."

"Hmph!" Xia Qin suddenly felt unhappy. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "No, you must hurry up and teach me well! I want to be as powerful as you in the future, so that these people will be scared and run away when they hear my name!"

Hearing Xia Qin's angry attitude, Mo Ye couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her hair.

"Well, take your time."

Outside Mobei City, Qiu Qianshan looked at the disciples who had returned empty-handed with confusion and disappointment.

"Is it Mo Ye?" He was also confused, his eyes full of disbelief.

"No wonder, it seems that he was the one who saved this Miss Mu before. Why is he here? I haven't heard that he has any connection with the Mu family."

Previously, he investigated the identity of the mysterious person who saved Xia Qin from the Mu family and the deceased Mu Jinyan's mother. He never thought that Mo Ye would be inexplicably involved.

"Master, do you want to find some better fighters to deal with them?" the leading disciple asked in a low voice.

Qiu Qianshan shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let's wait until Mo Ye leaves this place. This group of people are different from ordinary martial arts sects. They are all desperate criminals wandering around. If you provoke them, it will be more troublesome than offending the government. You should keep a close eye on their movements and never make enemies with them."

"Yes, Master!"

Two days later, Xia Qin led the Night Owl Squad, carrying three catapults and two ladders, and slowly headed to the Yancheng Army camp to reunite with his father and brother.

"Yan'er? Yunchen?" Mu Lie looked at his daughter who had come to the general's tent, his face full of surprise and worry, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm helping Dad to attack the city."

Mu Lie was stunned, and immediately said: "It's too dangerous here! Recently, the Xiongnu army is ready to move in Qingyun City, and a war is about to break out. Dad is thinking of asking Jinying to take you back to Yancheng."

After more than a month in the northern border, Xia Qin had been in danger several times, and Mu Lie really couldn't bear to let her stay here any longer.

"Dad, I'm a secretary under the General of Cavalry. How can I escape from the battlefield?" Xia Qin looked at his father and said mischievously.

She knew her father was worried about her and tried to ease his mood with a relaxing tone.

Mo Ye was also helping out at the side at this time: "Uncle Mu, I'll be watching over Jin Yan, it's okay."

Seeing them like this, Mu Lie was a little worried, but he didn't insist.

Xia Qin looked around and didn't see Mu Jinyu, so she asked, "Dad, where's my brother?"

"Yu'er? You were here just now. Maybe you were tinkering with the siege equipment you just brought."

Outside the commander's tent, several captains of the Yancheng Army stared in a daze at the Night Owl Squad and the catapults and ladders that had been transported there.

"What the hell is this? We recruited so many craftsmen, and instead of making some battering rams in a month and a half, we made these fancy things!" Li Gui was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

Lu Yu still echoed sourly, "Not bad, she even knew how to make something like a ladder. It's good enough that she didn't become a female worker."

"Let's not be so cold and sarcastic all the time," Wang Zheng said with a sly smile, "After all, he is a Zhonglang official. With a war imminent, he has done his duty by not hiding behind."

Chu He didn't say anything this time, but just looked at them with disdain.

Qi Ning was also watching silently. He was carefully observing the catapult and ladder made by Xia Qin with a look of curiosity.

Chu He didn't say anything, but Lu Yu deliberately mocked him, "Captain Chu, why are you silent? Didn't you protect Miss Mu before? Do you think there is no hope because there is a man next to her? Why don't you speak for her?"

Chu He's face darkened and he stared at Lu Yu.

"Don't look at me like that," Lu Yu said with a scoundrel look on his face, "You should go find trouble with the man next to Miss Mu. I didn't get close to her, hahaha."

"I'm going to tear it apart..." Chu He still couldn't help himself and was about to lose his temper when Shi Qing, who had been observing in the dark, appeared again.

"Are you tired of being in the army?" Shi Qing approached with a sullen look on his face. "Do you want me to ask His Majesty for permission to let you retire?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately shut up and lowered their heads.

"Get lost!" Shi Qing was obviously angry this time. "Lu Yu, Li Gui, from today on, the two of you are not allowed to leave your tents except to discuss matters in the general's tent!"

The two looked extremely reluctant, but still responded in a low voice.

"Yes!"

After a few people left, Shi Qing turned around and saw Mu Jinyu staring at this side, and then his figure disappeared.

Two hours later, in the west of Yancheng military camp, a soldier sneaked towards Mobei City with a secret letter in his hand.

But before he had walked a few miles, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and a shining scimitar appeared in front of him.
