The prince is very cruel

He was in a good mood along the way. The food crisis was solved, at least temporarily.

But at this moment, suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded behind him, and a panicked voice said: "My lord, my lord, something bad has happened!!"

Hearing these words, Guan Ning frowned and turned around suddenly.

He saw a fast horse rushing up to him, and he dismounted with a look of panic.

"What's wrong?" Guan Ning frowned.

"My lord, something has happened. A large number of Xiliang troops have appeared outside the Shu territory!"

"They are seizing the ships and seem to be about to attack us!"

"The clan leader asked me to inform you!" the visitor said in a panic. After all, Shu has been living a closed and isolated life for so many years. Suddenly an army came to attack, and it was inevitable that they would feel uneasy and at a loss.

"What?" Hai Mei exclaimed.

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you see clearly who is on the other side?"

"My lord, it's still unclear right now. There's a river in between. There are probably over a thousand of them, but once they've collected boats, they can march straight in and reach Liuzhuang in a few hours!"

boom!

A thunderclap exploded in Guan Ning's heart. Could it be that Mu Zhen's people came to find him?

How can it be!

The plan was meticulous, leaving no traces behind and no one was caught. How did he know? And he arrived so quickly.

Guan Ning was puzzled, but he didn't have much time to think about it. If the Western Liang army entered Shu, it would be a big trouble.

Apart from anything else, Liuzhuang alone was home to countless refugees and indigenous people from Shu. They were powerless and could only be slaughtered!

Although Nie Nan had militiamen guarding there, they were only militiamen patrolling the mountains and guarding the land, and had no experience in fighting the army.

"Mei Niang, go back first and tell them that I'm fine. I'm doing some work in Liuzhuang now and will be back later!"

"Also inform Ma Jin to obey my orders at any time!"

Hai Mei's relaxed heart suddenly tightened: "Then be careful!"

"it is good!"

"go!"

After Guan Ning finished speaking, he quickly mounted his horse, his expression changing from the joy he had just had to one of solemnity.

"drive!!"

"drive!!"

He rode ahead and returned the same way.

In just less than two hours, Guan Ning traveled for four hours and returned to Liuzhuang.

At this moment, the people of Liuzhuang were in panic. The militia evacuated the dock and set up defense lines and horse traps on both sides of the dock.

As for the large number of refugees and civilians, they were arranged to migrate to the mountains in an orderly manner. The scene was extremely spectacular and mighty, with no less than 100,000 people, so terrifying!

The crying and fear permeated every corner here.

"The rebels are coming!"

"The Xiliang people are here again!"

"How to do how to do?"

"..."

Seeing this, Guan Ning's expression tensed as he walked through the crowd and came to the dock.

"Lord!"

Nie Nan, Nie Jie, Bashan and his group, as well as Sheng Qi, Yu Dilong, and several guardians of the Holy Lotus Sect all gathered around.

"What's the situation? Has the other party crossed the river?"

"They haven't crossed the river yet, but it seems they are waiting for reinforcements!" Nie Nan said.

"My lord, I just went to check it out, and it seems to be the army that is escorting the food!" someone else said.

Hearing this, Guan Ning frowned: "Strange, how did it get exposed?"

Nie Nan's face turned unhappy, and he looked in a certain direction: "You tell me yourself."

A young man with a grim expression knelt on the ground. He was a member of the Nie clan. "Master, Master, blame me, it's all my fault!"

"I, I lost my identity token."

"I just found out..."

Guan Ning frowned. After all his careful planning, something still went wrong!

Seeing the hundreds of thousands of refugees who were exposed and affected because of him, the young man felt extremely ashamed. He kowtowed and cried, "My lord, clan leader, this is all my fault. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

"I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"

As he said this, he didn't want to embarrass Nie Nan, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger.

"No!" Nie Nan and others were shocked. They never expected him to be so stubborn.

A close call.

boom!

Guan Ning kicked the dagger out of his hand, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

"If you're not even afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?"

"This incident has already happened. Learn from it and don't let it happen again."
