After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Not long after Zhang Liang and his men hid, a team of cavalrymen wearing black armor and riding war horses appeared here.

These cavalrymen moved quickly and orderly, clearly a well-trained elite force.

Zeng Guodong widened his eyes, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He looked at the cavalrymen and felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

The aura of this army was different from any he was familiar with, as if it were ghost knights walking out of hell.

Zeng Guodong turned to look at Zhang Liang and whispered, "My Lord, it seems that the damn emperor really wants you dead! Now he has sent such elite cavalry to find you. But why don't I seem to have seen this army before?"

There was a mix of confusion and caution in his voice.

The reason for his doubts was that he had never seen this army appear in Daqian. Could it be that it was a new army trained by the imperial court?

Looking at the murderous intent flashing in the eyes of the cavalrymen, Zeng Guodong swallowed his saliva, and his hand unconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Although he was full of curiosity, he was more aware of how critical the current situation was.

This elite cavalry's target was obviously them, and if they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qin Youlan and several other sisters-in-law felt dizzy when they saw this sudden elite cavalry.

Their palms were sweating profusely and their hearts were filled with despair and fear.

Faced with such a well-equipped and murderous army, they could almost foresee that they would not be able to escape death.

Just when everyone was in extreme panic, Zhang Liang suddenly stood up.

This action made everyone present feel their scalps tingle and a strong sense of unease surge in their hearts.

They looked at Zhang Liang in disbelief, wondering why he would do such a crazy thing at this time. Was he seeking death?

However, only Zhang Liang himself knew that the reason he stood up was because a system prompt sounded in his mind just now.

The system told him that the two thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had arrived in front of him.

This news instantly dispelled the worries in his heart, and was replaced by a firm confidence.

After Zhang Liang stood up, he strode towards the cavalry.

Originally, Zhao Ruoruo wanted to stand up and hold Zhang Liang back from doing such stupid things that would lead to his death, but she was held tightly by Zhong Shu and Wang Yuehan.

Their eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, fearing that Zhang Liang might encounter an accident.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruoruo became even more anxious. She struggled to break free from the two people's restraints, and kept saying, "Sister, what's wrong with you! Why are you holding me? Are you going to watch my uncle die in vain?"

Zhao Ruoruo's voice was filled with helplessness and despair, and her eyes began to turn red.

However, Qin Youlan seemed calmer.

She gently patted the back of Zhao Ruoruo's hand and said softly, "Sister, calm down. We will definitely not watch Uncle take risks! But Uncle must have his reasons for doing this now. Let's not make things worse."

Qin Youlan's voice was gentle and firm, giving people a sense of security.

After hearing Qin Youlan's words, Zhao Ruoruo gradually calmed down.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and nodded.

Everyone stared at Zhang Liang's back quietly, their hearts filled with tension.

After Zhang Liang walked out, the cavalrymen who heard the noise turned around and focused their eyes on him.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and vigilance, and they were obviously surprised by the sudden appearance of the stranger.

Upon seeing this, the leading cavalry commander immediately dismounted and strode towards Zhang Liang.

After arriving before Zhang Liang, the general's eyes suddenly filled with tears. He clutched Zhang Liang's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Sir! I finally found you! My name is Yan Sheng. The soldiers behind me and I were once the personal guards of Duke Wu."

"Duke Wu has been incredibly kind to us, so as soon as we heard he was killed, we immediately came looking for you."

Yan Sheng's voice was choked and full of emotion, and his eyes revealed deep loyalty and admiration.

Immediately afterwards, all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen behind him dismounted, knelt on one knee, and shouted to Zhang Liang, "We are honored to meet you, sir!"

After hearing Yan Sheng's words, Zhang Liang immediately understood that these were identities fabricated by the system for these people.

Qin Youlan and others who had been hiding came out cautiously after hearing Yan Sheng's words.

In the night, their figures seemed a little nervous, but also with a hint of anticipation and curiosity.

When Zhang Liang saw them coming out, a warm smile appeared on his face.

He waved to them, signaling them to come over.

When they came to him, Zhang Liang said to them with a smile, "Everyone, this is Brother Yan Sheng, who used to be my father's personal soldier."

"After learning about our situation, he came to us immediately."

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Qin Youlan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension and worry in their hearts instantly dissipated a lot.

It turned out that these terrible cavalrymen were not enemies, but came to help them.

Qin Youlan nodded gently, her eyes revealing a hint of relief and gratitude.

She turned to Yan Sheng, bowed slightly and expressed her gratitude.

Several other sisters-in-law followed suit and expressed their gratitude to Yan Sheng.

Seeing this, Yan Sheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Ladies, there's no need to be so polite. This is what we should do."

"Duke Wu has done us a favor. We cannot watch his family fall into danger in vain."

After Qin Youlan and the others heard Yan Sheng's words, they couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Recalling the behavior of Chen Tao and others, they felt disheartened.

Duke Wu had done them all great favors, but Chen Tao was eager to change his allegiance, willing to be someone's dog, and even sent people to hunt them down.

However, in sharp contrast to Chen Tao are Yan Sheng and his group.

After learning the news that Duke Wu had been murdered, they came to find and protect them without any hesitation.

At this time, there was a gleam in Zeng Guodong's eyes, and his gaze was fixed on the army in front of him.

When he heard Yan Sheng's words and confirmed that these cavalrymen were the personal soldiers of Duke Wu, an indescribable excitement and joy surged in his heart.

This means that their power has become even stronger.

Zeng Guodong knew very well that with this elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as their backing, they would have a greater chance of winning when facing pursuers. As long as a large-scale army was not dispatched to hunt them down, they would no longer have to fear the next pursuers.

After chatting for a few sentences, Yan Sheng and his men regarded Zhang Liang as their lord, and then Zhang Liang decisively ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to stay in place.

As the bonfire was reignited, the warm flames illuminated everyone's faces and brought a moment of temporary peace.

Zhang Liang and others sat around the campfire, their eyes meeting on the dancing flames, then they turned to look at Yan Sheng, their eyes flashing with deep light.

"Yan Sheng, tomorrow I hope you can break up the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into pieces."

Hearing this, Yan Sheng was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood Zhang Liang's intention: "My lord, are you worried that we're too big a target and will easily attract the attention of the imperial court?"

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "That's right. After all, the sudden appearance of such an army will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court. Then we will become the target of public criticism."

"That's right, my lord! Although our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can defeat a hundred at a time, if the imperial court sends a large army to attack us, we will definitely not be able to resist."

Zeng Guodong fully agreed with Zhang Liang's point of view. Now, facing the imperial court is undoubtedly like a gnat trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

After the discussion, Zhang Liang and his friends leaned against a tree and planned to rest for the night.

As night falls, everything is silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility.

The embers of the campfire were still emitting a faint glow, bringing a touch of warmth to the makeshift camp.

Everyone was exhausted and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Zhang Liang and his companions set off towards the south of the Yangtze River.

As agreed last night, a few Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were left behind to protect Zhang Liang and his men, while the others split up and headed south of the Yangtze River.
