Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Feng Xili propped herself up and stood up, then hid in a dilapidated house nearby that looked like it had been completely looted.

She touched Feng Tianxu's badge in her arms, feeling uneasy. She had to find him and take him away no matter what, and get through this disaster first.

Which way is the caravan outside the city...to the west or to the north?

She couldn't hold it in her hands for a moment, "What a mistake. I should have asked Ding Laoyao."

She slapped her forehead in frustration and accidentally bumped into a broken bowl beside her, "Bang!"

The broken bowl broke into eight pieces.

"Waah, wah, wah..." A baby's cry suddenly sounded in a dark corner. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" and looked in the direction of the sound.

A child huddled beside the bed, holding something in his arms, was looking at her with panic in his eyes.

Before Feng Xi could leave to comfort him, footsteps were heard outside. The broken door that could no longer cover anything was kicked in, and he was completely killed.

A bearded man carrying a big knife and a bundle in his hand walked into the door with his head shaking.

As soon as he came in, his huge body blocked the door tightly, and the bright moonlight was also shut out by his back.

The room suddenly became much darker. The baby was still crying, but the sound was obviously muffled by something.

Feng Xili realized belatedly that this man was definitely not a soldier guarding the city!

The next moment, the bearded man shook the sword on his shoulder, tilted his head slightly, and saw Feng Xili not far away.

"Hahaha, there's another beauty here?" He grinned as he said this. The interweaving light and dark shadows on his face made him look as suffocating as a devil from hell.

"Beauty, come here quickly, brother will protect you..." The man was having a sweet dream when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and something flowed out.

Feng Xili took a deep breath, and a petite figure hung on the bearded man, while his neck was pitch black.

A "gurgling" sound was heard, making the listener's scalp tingle.

The bearded man seemed to be awakened by the severe pain, and with a big hand he grabbed the figure and threw it away.

His huge body staggered and fell forward.

With a "bang", a cloud of dust splashed up.

Feng Xili saw him covering his neck with one hand and grabbing the long sword that fell not far in front of him with the other hand.

Oh my god! This guy can still move after his neck was cut?

A bright light on the ground dazzled her eyes, and when she looked closely, she saw that it was a gold bracelet with a tiny bell.

The bracelet broke into two pieces and rolled out of the bag, dirty and filthy.

It’s easy to imagine what the owner of the bracelet has been through.

She was so angry that she took out the dagger she carried with her and stabbed the hand that was still reaching for the long knife.

"Ugh!" The person lying on the ground trembled and his eyes widened!

The dagger nailed the palm to the ground, and she kicked the long knife away.

After a while, the people on the ground became silent.

The air was filled with the sound of frantic heartbeats, "Sister, sister..."

The black shadow crawled up from the side, with bloodstains on her chest. Feng Xili was shocked and hurriedly supported her.

"My sister, grandparents, are all dead. Only my sister and I are left." The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old. She was thin, but her arms were quite strong, and her wrist was a little painful because of the grip.

"I'm sorry, I entered your house without permission and accidentally attracted someone." Feng Xili felt a little guilty. She broke the bowl and scared the baby, which attracted the bad guy.

If the little girl hadn't attacked unexpectedly, she would definitely have been imprisoned, and the two little guys would probably have been in great danger as well.

"No, it's okay. This isn't my home." The little girl breathed softly. Looking at her, she spoke with difficulty: "Sister, my parents will be back from visiting relatives in the next two days. Could you please leave my sister with them?"

What? Feng Xili stared, stunned.

"Please, sister." As she spoke, blood came out of the corner of the little girl's mouth, but she still looked at her persistently.

"Sister..." The word "sister" touched Feng Xili's tense and suppressed heart.

"Okay." She responded, watching the little girl's eyes suddenly light up, and then slowly dim.

Feng Xili sighed. She could hardly protect herself, and now she had to take care of a baby. She didn't even know where to find the person. What should she do?

She timidly stepped out of the room, carefully holding the baby in her arms who was looking at her with big eyes, and ran out with her head down.

"Wow, wow~" She suddenly stopped and rocked the baby gently.

Soon, she was surprised to find that no matter which direction she walked, the little guy would frown and cry. Only when she faced north, the little guy would look at her with his fingers in his mouth.

So evil?

"Well, since we're looking for your parents, I'll listen to you!"

Twenty miles west of Zechun City, in a leeward part of a valley, there were more than a dozen tents stationed with about a hundred people.

"General, the caravan has already broken in." A soldier in plain clothes reported in a low voice to a sturdy and rugged man.

There was a map on the table in front of the man, with the three big words "Zechun City" written on the top of the map.

"Well, where is Miss Huang?" he asked casually.

The soldier lowered his head and spoke in an even lower voice, "Miss Huang said she had something to do and left two hours ago."

"Where have you been?" His tone was quite unhappy.

"Looking at the direction, we should be heading into Zechun City."

The man's eyes were filled with anger, and he quickly put away the map. "Disband the camp and attack the city!"

The soldier took the order, turned around and ran out.

Huang Ling! I want to see what Zechun City has that can make you so impatient?

When Feng Xili arrived at the north of the city, the fierce fighting here had already ended.

The city guards and the soldiers from the government office held their ground and controlled all the merchants who were pretending to be a caravan, but they also suffered some losses on their own side.

She was relieved that the situation wasn't too bad at the moment.

"Ali." A voice like the sound of nature came from afar. Her whole body stiffened and she suddenly fell into a hug.

"What is this?" Feng Tianxu put his arm around the swaddling clothes in her arms, his eyes filled with surprise.

She briefly explained the child's background, and Feng Tianxu asked someone to take the little guy away.

The two stood at the city wall. A ray of light shone through the distant sky, making the entire town appear surprisingly dim.

She felt more and more uneasy. This was the city gate!

"Tianxu, come with me!" Feng Xi's heart was beating like a drum, and she wanted to pull him away regardless of the consequences.

"Sir! Master Feng! West Gate, there are enemies attacking the West Gate!" The soldier who came to report in a panic climbed up the city wall panting and knelt on the ground covered in blood.

The county magistrate, who was wiping his sweat, stopped and looked towards the west. All the troops were now concentrated at the north gate, and there were not many people at the west gate.

West? Could they be from Xidi?

Feng Xili's heart sank, and she unconsciously grasped Feng Tianxu's arm tightly.

"Ali, don't be afraid. Help should arrive by daybreak at the latest. I'll lead some people to the west gate for support. You wait here for help."

Feng Tianxu spoke very quickly. As he spoke, he put the whip around his arm, patted her shoulder, and forcefully pried her hands apart.

"No! Tianxu!" He had never been to the battlefield, so how could he lead troops to fight the enemy?

"A-Li, it turns out I was too greedy and overestimated my own capabilities. I delayed sending the message for help for a whole day. Otherwise, Zechun wouldn't be in such a passive position now, and many innocent people would have died."

He spoke bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.

"If the west gate is breached, it means rescue has arrived. The entire Zechun City has been devastated. I must go. I will hold out as long as I can."

Feng Tianxu endured it again and again, but still hugged her in front of everyone and whispered in her ear: "I buried gunpowder outside the west city gate. They won't be able to break through so easily."

Gunpowder? Outside the city gate?
