Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

"What? No?"

Sima Feng looked surprised and doubtful.

"I hope not, but we just killed the Third Prince, how could they let it go? So we have to be careful about everything."

Zhang Chen looked around and said cautiously.

Then the two of them left and found an inn to rest for a night before setting off again.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhang Chen looked at the map and pondered. If Sanchuan City was really a trap, what should the two do? If they didn't pass through Sanchuan City, they would have to take a detour. Zhang Chen happened to find out that Yanyun County was next to Shangjun, and there was also a prince there.

So in the past two days, the two of them changed their route and headed towards Yanyun County. After being out for so long, they still didn't know much about the war between the Zerg and the human race. The third prince before was just a person who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he didn't care about the war at all, so what he knew was very limited.

"If Sanchuan City is not a trap, won't it allow those people to continue to do evil?"

Sima Feng said to Zhang Chen as they walked that he hated those people deeply.

"If that's the case, let them enjoy themselves for a while. When we return from the capital, we will go find them."

Zhang Chen said calmly that it was impossible to let them go.

After seven days, the two men arrived at the capital of Yanyun County. After gathering information among the people, they discovered that the prince was also a criminal who had committed many crimes and the people had suffered from him for a long time.

So that night, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng went to the prince's mansion for a walk. The next day, the whole county city spread the news that the prince had committed many evil deeds and was punished by heaven, because no one in the palace saw the murderer, but only saw that the prince suddenly fell into pieces and died in a very strange way.

When the commotion broke out in Yanyun County, Zhang Chen and Sima Feng had already left the county city for hundreds of miles. Xiao Yi, who was far away in Sanchuan City, had just received the news and learned about what happened in Yanyun County. He was so angry that his face turned purple.

"Asshole, I will never let you go."

"Junior brother, don't worry, let's go to Jiuyuan County ahead and wait. This time we might have been too obvious and they discovered our flaw. We will set up an ambush when we get to Jiuyuan County."

Wang Cheng made a suggestion.

Xiao Yi nodded, and then, under the leadership of Wang Cheng, flew towards Jiuyuan County on his sword.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng were walking in the forest outside the city when they saw a large group of people coming towards them with large and small bags. Most of them were old people, children and women, but there were basically no young people. Zhang Chen and Sima Feng asked them after they came closer and found out that they were refugees. The court had levied taxes over and over again, and they had long been overwhelmed and had no choice but to flee.

Zhang Chen was just about to take out some gold and silver for them when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. The crowd immediately panicked and ran forward desperately, but how could people outrun horses, especially since they were carrying large and small bags. In a moment, they were surrounded by the cavalrymen who were chasing them from behind.

The leading cavalryman gently pushed his horse's belly, and the horse took a few steps forward. He looked coldly at the old people, women, and children and said:

"A group of unruly people maliciously evaded taxes and ignored the laws of the court. They should be punished and executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hands, and soon all the cavalrymen drew their swords from their waists. There were bloodstains on many people's swords, and half of them had expressions of pity in their eyes.

Soon the leader swung his hand, raised his long knife and rushed towards the unarmed and desperate crowd.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at the half of the cavalry rushing over with cold expressions and murderous intent in their eyes. Zhang Chen condensed golden needles in his hands and kept shooting at those cavalry. The golden needles directly pierced the cavalry's heads, while Sima Feng took out a bow and arrow and kept shooting arrows. The bow and arrows directly pierced the chests of those cavalry. Soon, those cavalry rushing over fell off their horses one after another, and were all killed or injured.

The desperate people looked at Zhang Chen and Sima Feng in surprise, and the cavalrymen who did not rush forward were all terrified, with a chill rising in their hearts, and were glad that they did not rush forward.

Zhang Chen walked in front of the cavalry that had not charged forward. The horses seemed to sense the murderous intent and kept neighing and retreating. Zhang Chen said to them coldly:

"Since you still have some conscience, I will let you go this time. If you dare to chase me again, I will kill you. Get lost..."

Seeing their former companions lying on the ground and no longer breathing, the remaining cavalry immediately turned their horses around and left as if they had been pardoned.

The people immediately thanked Sima Feng and Zhang Chen, and looked sadly at the road they had come from. Zhang Chen took out some gold and silver and handed them to them as travel expenses. He watched them walk into the mountains and forests, and shook his head and sighed.

"What will they do in the future? They are all old people and children. Can they survive in the mountains? Even if they have gold and silver, they have nowhere to buy food."

Watching the people running into the mountains, Sima Feng started talking as they walked. He was really worried about how they would live in the future.

"What can we do? We can't take them with us. We can only kill some of the evildoers so that they can have less burden."

Zhang Chen also sighed. Along the way, most of the people had lived a very difficult life. Apart from the war, most of it was due to the exploitation of the powerful, which was the most infuriating.

"I really want to kill all those bastards who bully ordinary people, so that everyone can live and work in peace and happiness with their families."

Sima Feng said lightly, looking depressed as if he had thought of something.

Soon the two men walked forward for a distance and suddenly found many corpses lying in front of them. They were all men, wearing linen clothes and with knife wounds on their bodies.

"Are these the same people who fled with me just now?"

Sima Feng looked at the corpses on the ground and fell into deep thought.

"It's very likely based on what you're wearing."

Zhang Chen said helplessly after observing for a while.

"Those bastards, we shouldn't have let them go just now."

Sima Feng said angrily.

"Forget it. They are just following orders. The problem is not with them."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said:

"Dig a hole and bury them. Don't let their bodies be exposed in the wilderness."

"Well, those people just now probably won't be able to wait for their husbands, fathers, and sons."

Sima Feng sighed, found a place to dig, and soon buried all the bodies. The two continued to move forward.

Five days later, the two finally arrived in Jiuyuan County. As usual, they went to a teahouse and sat down to listen to what people were talking about.

Nothing unusual was heard this time. They just talked about recent events. Occasionally there was some news about the county town, about an official marrying a prostitute. The news became a hot topic for a while and became a joke for many people after dinner.

So the two of them walked for another two days and finally arrived at the county town. As soon as they entered the city, Zhang Chen felt inexplicably palpitating, as if some crisis was waiting for them.

While the two were gathering information in the teahouse, they happened to hear the news that the city lord's brother-in-law was going to marry a tenth concubine. It was said that in order to marry that girl, the city lord's brother-in-law captured her parents, and used threats and inducements to make the girl surrender. Moreover, his previous concubines were basically the same. If he took a fancy to a girl, he would find ways to marry her. It was no stranger to this in the city.
