The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

"Mom, are there bad guys coming again?"

Guan was not sure either. Just as she was about to shield her three sons behind her, she saw Zhang Xiaoqi riding towards her, holding a torch in one hand and the reins in the other.

"Boss." The moment Guan saw Zhang Xiaoqi, tears flowed down her face involuntarily, and her backbone returned.

Zhang Xiaoqi threw away the torch in his hand and jumped off his mount. His pale face turned better when he saw that his wife and children were alive.

"Dad~" Dasheng had just pretended to be strong, but the moment he saw his biological father, his eyes became red.

Zhang Xiaoqi promised his wife and children, and with his broad arms, he tightly embraced the mother and children into his arms.

The moment his wife and children were in his arms, his empty heart was finally filled. He kept murmuring, "I'm glad you're all right, I'm glad you're all right."

Dong Baihu and others who came after him were so upset when they saw Zhang Xiaoqi's appearance that they turned their faces away unnaturally, and happened to be facing the direction of the fire.

"Let's go and take a look." Captain Dong gave an order, and the others turned their horses around and urged them to follow.

At the foot of the mountain in the north, General Ye and his children and grandchildren were throwing dry branches into a large natural pit, and then throwing several corpses on a layer of branches.

When Captain Dong led his men over, he wasn't surprised at all. He just said, "Burn it cleanly and cover it with more soil to avoid scaring the women and children."

"Yes." General Ye took the lead in answering.

Captain Dong took another look at the Ye family, and seeing that not a single adult male was missing, he chuckled and turned his horse around.

Watching Captain Dong and the others leave, Ye Zhanyang couldn't believe it. "This Captain is quite easy to talk to."

General Ye said "hmm" and then briefly said a few words about the Dong family.

"The Dong family has inherited the title of centurion for a hundred years."

"You don't look like someone who doesn't want to make progress."

"It's not that the Dong family doesn't strive for progress, it's their straightforward nature that holds them back."

"Is there such a thing?"

"There are so many things in this world that are hard to describe, otherwise our family wouldn't be here."

"... "

After General Ye finished speaking, all the men in the Ye family fell silent.

A gentle summer breeze blew by, raising the flames several feet higher, and the sound of flames devouring branches was endless.

Captain Dong urged his horse back, and suddenly Scholar Guo pointed at a large willow tree in front of him and said in fear, "Look, what's on that tree?"

Captain Dong looked up and saw Zhou Dasheng exclaiming, "Fuck, that looks like a person."

"People?" Lao Wan still didn't believe it and impatiently urged his horse to run over to see. "Oh my god, this, this..." Everyone thought that Lao Wan's tongue might have been bitten by something, otherwise his words would not be stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

But when they all urged their horses to run closer, they all gasped in surprise.

"My dear grandmother, who did this?!"

It's no wonder that these soldiers who are used to seeing life and death were so frightened that they kept calling for their mothers. The scene was really a bit unbearable to watch.

Just think about it, a man in black was hanging upside down on a big willow tree, and he was tied tightly with willow branches with only his head showing. From a distance, he looked like a big cocoon. Anyone who saw this would be confused.

The timid ones might just lie down.

Captain Dong took a few glances and immediately ordered, "Hurry up and get some men to get that dead man down. Otherwise, when daybreak comes, the women and children will come out and be terrified."

"Yes."

After receiving the order from Captain Dong, Zhou Dasheng and a few agile people climbed up the tree as quickly as possible.

But the guy was tied up so tightly that they had no way of getting past him.

Later, Zhou Dasheng drew out his sword and cut off all the branches that tied the dead tree, and the dead tree fell down from the tree.

"Just in time, get him to the foot of Beishan Mountain and let the Ye family burn him together."

"Yes."

After Zhou Dasheng had taken the dead body away, Captain Dong urged his horse to the foot of the willow tree. He looked carefully at it, pondered for a long time, and then asked Scholar Guo.

"Old Guo, what do you think?"

"It feels like this willow tree has become a spirit."

"Is it true?" When asking this question, Lao Wan felt a chill on his back even though it was a hot day.

"Everyone just saw it. The way the willow branches entangled people didn't seem to be man-made."

"The willow branches acted like ropes to bind the dead man. It's unbelievable no matter how you think about it."

"Yes, willow branches are tough, but they can't be used to tie people up like ropes..."

"So what you're saying is that this old willow tree is really a spirit?"

"Or do you have a better explanation?"

"No."

The mother and daughter on the other side of the river had already quietly headed towards the cliff while the soldiers were discussing the big willow tree becoming a spirit.

After they left everyone's sight, Yi Chen began to complain to Jiang Yan: "Mom, why didn't you wake me up at that time?"

"The situation was urgent." Jiang Yan could only sigh, thinking of the danger at that time. "Even though we don't want to acknowledge them, we can't let them die in front of us."

"Yeah." Yichen thought her mother was right.

"Besides, that old man Ye does have real skills."

"What do you mean?" After hearing her mother's words, Yichen felt a little interested in Old Man Ye.

"Before I could raise the alarm, Old Man Ye had already sensed the approach of the man in black."

"and then?"

"Not only did he speak out to stop the men in black from killing directly, he also woke up his family immediately."

"Wow, that's so cool."

"Of course. After all, he used to be the head coach of a team."

"Pity."

"...?"

"So what if he once guarded a region? Now he still has to farm the Thirteen Banners."

"Being able to farm here is already a good result. You didn't see the situation last night. Those men in black came with such a fierce momentum. They must have wanted to wipe out the entire Ye family."

"The ancient times were really annoying. They would wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat, or even kill all nine generations of the clan. It was so annoying."

It’s no wonder that Yichen hates ancient laws. If Shen Sanlang hadn’t been stolen by the Shen family, she and her mother would have to be in the Ye family.

Yichen gets angry whenever she thinks about this. "I really want to arrest those who wrote the law and starve them."

"There's no point in starving them. The emperor gave the order."

"The evil old society, the evil feudal dynasty, the evil emperor."

"Okay, stop complaining. If someone hears your outrageous words, both mother and daughter will be beheaded and we won't even have to go to jail."

"Ugh~" Yichen shut up immediately when she thought of being beheaded. She was afraid of death. Then she thought of the curse she had just said and became weak.
