Everyone gathered at the study door, looking out. Flames streaked across the night sky like shooting stars.

Liuliu's eyes flashed with excitement: "Master, let me go! I can handle this crap by myself!"

Mo Xiaoliu said dissatisfiedly: "You are the only one who is capable! Have you forgotten what the master told you?"

The master that Mo Xiaoliu was talking about was of course Yun Qing. When Yun Qing received the news that the eldest prince's men were heading towards Daxi Village, he was not worried at all, but was only worried about Nuannuan.

Therefore, he immediately summoned Liu Liu. The fearless Liu Liu unexpectedly felt fear and awe for a person for the first time. It was unknown how Yun Qing did it; even Mu Qingcheng was curious.

Liu Liu also remembered Yun Qing's warning, asking her to stay close to Mu Qingcheng. If anything happened to Mu Qingcheng, not only would it be her fault, but their Shadow Pavilion would also be gone. Liu Liu believed that this was not a threat, he was serious.

Thinking of this, horror immediately appeared on her face and she quickly stood beside Mu Qingcheng.

Mu Qingcheng was anxious and panicked. Having lived in peacetime, she had never seen such a scene before. As expected, the people suffered the most during a war.

Mo Xiaoliu comforted him, "Master Mu, don't worry! Master said that the old must go before the new can come. The houses in the village are too dilapidated. It's just right to burn them down and build new ones."

Mu Qingcheng: “…” Your master is worthy of being the prince, he is very wealthy.

Mo Xue also looked at Mo Xiaoliu with disdain: "You talk too much nonsense! The master said that if any civilians are killed or injured, we will all be punished."

Mo Xiaoliu chuckled and scratched his head: "Don't worry! The villagers are hiding in the back of the village. There is a cellar there. The women and children are hiding in the cellar."

"Besides, with us here, there's no way they can break in."

The houses near the entrance to Daxi Village were indeed dilapidated, some with thatched roofs. Several rockets were launched into the roofs, quickly igniting a raging fire.

The firelight illuminated the sky and earth, and another group of guards began to attack under the cover of archers.

Meng Yun led the Black Armor Guards to respond calmly, while Mo Feng, with three other Dragon Shadow Guards, quietly sneaked into the enemy's rear archer camp and launched a surprise attack.

All the villagers of Daxi Village gathered at Xu Yongfu's house, which was at the back of the village. His house was the largest, and there was a cellar in the backyard where people could hide.

At this time, the men gathered in the front yard and the women gathered in the back yard.

"Look, look, what is that? It looks like iron flowers."

"Silly boy, what are those sparks? That's fire! Oh no! My house is close to the village entrance. Will it burn down?"

"There's nothing to worry about. The Mu family said they'll double the compensation for any losses. It's a pity our house isn't at the entrance of the village."

After hearing this, the villagers who had been anxious just now were no longer anxious. They even felt complacent and wondered if they could build a big brick and tile house this time.

In an instant, the tone of the conversation changed again.

"Look, look, that arrow goes really far."

"Oh! Just a little bit..."

The village chief and some elderly people were all trembling with fear when they heard the noise outside. This reminded them of that chaotic night twenty years ago.

The main room was filled with elderly people, each with a heavy expression.

An elder whispered, "It doesn't sound like bandits to me. It sounds like an army fighting with real weapons."

"You guys, do you think these people will not come here to kill us?"

The village chief feigned composure and said, "Don't worry! When the Mu family came to inform me this morning, they said that in addition to the black-armored soldiers at the entrance of the village, they had also sent people to guard the center of the village. They said there were several lines of defense!"

"Village Chief, who are these Mu brothers and sisters? They don't look like they were kicked out by their family."

The village chief had sensed something was amiss when he saw the black-armored soldiers at the village entrance. His face was grim as he said, "No matter what, they are from Daxi Village. We must protect them."

How to protect it? Everyone listened to the shouting and killing outside, looked up at the flames rising into the sky. Could they protect it?

An old man sighed and said, "It was just like that night twenty years ago. Do you remember the young man who lived in that mansion?"

An old man twirled his beard and pondered for a moment: "I did meet him once, twenty years ago, and I only remember that he had a good-looking appearance."

"Yes, yes, I remember now. Do you think that young master looks a lot like this young master Mu?"

Everyone gasped.

The village chief's eyes lit up, and the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear. He remembered. Didn't the young man and the white fox have a son? Could it be him?

It must be him. The age and appearance match. There's no doubt that this Mr. Mu is the owner of that house. No wonder he insisted on buying that house.

Another elder remembered: "They are somewhat similar, but that young master loves to laugh, while this young master Mu is so cold that people dare not approach him."

The village chief recalled the blood that covered the ground after that night twenty years ago. Regardless of whether they were father and son, these two men were both incredibly noble. The secrets within were beyond their reach.

A firework exploded in the sky above the Mu Mansion in Zhulin, illuminating the faces of everyone at the study door.

Mo Xiaoliu's expression also became solemn: "Master Mu, the masters are about to attack. I have to go to the bamboo forest to guard."

Mu Qingcheng also saw the fireworks exploding in the sky and knew that this was a signal from their secret guards.

Knowing that the real danger has just begun: "Be careful."

Mo Xiaoliu chuckled and quickly ran towards the gate, soon disappearing into the bamboo forest.

Meanwhile, the battle at the village entrance intensified. Meng Yun led the Black Armor Guards, successfully fending off wave after wave of attacks and quickly gained control of the situation.

Just when the enemy was about to be annihilated, suddenly, countless black figures flew over their heads.

The experts were dispatched, and Meng Yun gave up on wiping out these defeated soldiers and led his men to chase after the group of men in black.

The group of men in black scattered as soon as they entered the village. They didn't know Yun Qing's exact location and were looking for a target.

Meng Yun did not disperse the main force. She went straight to the bamboo forest and stayed outside. These people would soon find this place.

Sure enough, he soon heard a melodious flute sound coming from the direction of the bamboo forest. This was the enemy's signal. The flute sound quickly attracted the group of masters to attack the bamboo forest.

The Dragon Shadow Guards were also on alert. A chilling murderous aura filled the bamboo forest. They gripped their weapons tightly and watched their surroundings warily.

Suddenly, black arrows shot towards the direction they were hiding in. The Dragon Shadow Guards quickly dodged, exposing themselves at the same time.

A dark shadow passed by them, and just as Mo Xiaoliu was about to chase it, he was stopped by Mo Xiaowu.

"Don't chase after me, Xiaoliu. This is a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Be careful."

"Damn it! This guy was deliberately showing up in front of me. How did he find me?"

Mo Xiaoliu is the best at hiding among the secret guards.

Mo Xiaowu looked solemn: "I feel something is wrong. These killers seem to be very familiar with us."

Mo Xiaoliu felt his scalp tingling: "Impossible! Is there a traitor among us?"

The Dragon Shadow Guards looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. At this moment, a group of men in black came from all directions and surrounded several Dragon Shadow Guards.

Mo Xiaoliu shouted, "Brothers, let's fight!" Everyone immediately joined the battle.
