    “You go wash up too.”

    Xu Qi’an looked at Lina and raised her hand to point at the pool of water, not forgetting to inquire, “There’s a stockpile of clean clothes in the shards of the Earth Book, right?”

    “Yes there is.”

    Lina threw down a word and took a leap over the rocks, diving headfirst into the pool of water.

    Xu Qi’an turned her back and sat on the big rock, with only Mu Nanjian and the little white fox in her arms by her side.

    After the Red Tasseled Protector sent them here, he returned to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

    “She’s number five, a member of our Heaven and Earth Society, a young girl from the Southern Border Force Compulsion Department, who has been boarding at the Xu Mansion in the capital.”

    Xu Qi’an explained, “I planned to make a trip to the southern border, so I brought her along.”

    Mu Nanjian rubbed the little white fox’s brain and looked in the direction of the water pool, nodding his head calmly and commenting coldly:

    “Good-looking, good figure, just a little stupid, a person mixed with the jianghu iron certain to suffer.”

    She was referring to this little Southern Border girl, who actually stood graciously at the edge of the waterhole to undress, not even knowing to look back at the man behind her.

    Either they are too stupid or they have ulterior motives.

    This kind of behavior of taking the initiative to send the welfare to Xu Qi’an, no matter intentionally or unintentionally, in Mu Nanjian’s view was provoking herself.

    Xu Qi’an smiled and didn’t explain for Lina.

    Women in this regard are careful and unreasonable, with her reasoning that Lina can have any bad intentions it, Lina simply do not have the heart, she will only think that you are sophomoric, in defense of a green tea.

    Half a quarter of an hour later, the master and disciple, who had washed off the dirt, returned in a clean and tidy outfit.

    “Cauldron~”

    Xu Suoyin darted over, like a fat yet lightweight piglet, prancing between the rocks, her disheveled hair flying behind her as she jumped headfirst into Xu Qi’an’s arms.

    Xu Qi’an held her sister with a tattoo, then pushed her to Mu Nanjian:

    “Take the trouble to tie her in a child’s bun.”

    Smoothly receiving the small white fox handed over by Mu Nanjian.

    Bai Ji’s ebony eyes, curiously surveying Xu Lingyin, whispered:

    “She’s your sister!”

    Yeah, you’re a fox cub, she’s a human cub ……… Xu Qi An let out a “hmm” and introduced:

    “Suzume, this is Shirahime, the sister of one of Big Brother’s friends, you’ll have to get along with it.”

    “Good cauldron~”

    Xu Lingyin nodded vigorously, reaching out a chubby hand to rub Shirahime’s head for a moment before twisting her head around and swallowing quietly.

    “What are you swallowing for?” Xu Qi’an questioned.

    “I didn’t swallow.” Xu Jingyin sophomorically argued.

    “You clearly just swallowed.”

    “I’m sick to my stomach. ……..”

    Listening to the siblings talk, Bai Ji silently shrank towards Xu Qi’an’s arms, suddenly feeling that she lacked some sense of security.

    Waiting for Mu Nanjian to tie up Little Dou Ding’s child bun, Xu Qi’an asked:

    “What’s going on, why are you so down?”

    Lina wore a distressed expression when she heard that:

    “We’ve always had trouble along the way, and the middle-landers we’ve met along the way have either tried to sleep with me or eat Suzaku, but we’ve fought them off.

    “Then an older man told me to disguise ourselves as stragglers and Suzume as a fool so that we wouldn’t attract attention. Suzume and I did as we were told, and sure enough, we didn’t run into any more trouble.”

    A few simple words made Xu Qi’an instantly understand how bad the situation in Yuzhou was.

    Already, starving, maddened stragglers have begun cannibalizing.

    But all the women with good looks, if there is no self-protection ability, in such a chaotic world, can only be reduced to playthings.

    Human nature is a hypocritical and ferocious beast, and the law is the cage that confines it, and morality is the chain that binds it. But the gradual collapse of order, this ferocious beast will lose its restraints, the ancients said that the rites and music are broken, the country will die, this is the meaning ………… Xu Qi’an sighed in his heart.

    The people in the three stacks of waterfalls in the side of the campfire, Xu Qi’an played dozens of wild chickens, wild deer, etc., set up an iron pot to cook rice and cook meat, eat and drink enough, a group of people toward continue south, into the southern border territory.

    ………..

    Yunzhou military camp, marshal tent.

    Chi Guangbo stood in front of the map of Qingzhou supported by a shelf, using a bamboo branch to point by point over several cities on the map.

    “Next, to advance the line of troops to Qingzhou City, we need to break through three lines of defense. The first line of defense is Songshan County, Dongling, and Wan County, within five days, I want you to knock down these three cities.”

    He used a bamboo branch to point at the word “Pine Mountain” and said:

    “Especially Pine Mountain, neighboring Dangerous Peak to the south and the Pine River to the west, are not easy directions to attack. If we want to attack the city, we can only break through the east and north city gates. This place is like a nail in the coffin of our westward route. Yang Gong must have sent heavy troops to guard it.

    “One of you go and pull out this nail for this marshal.”

    Ji Xuan said indifferently, “Within three days, this city can be broken.”

    He offered to take the assignment.

    Qi Guangbo shook his head, “You can’t go, you have to fight Dongling. Lure Sun Xuanji out for me and draw Qingzhou’s attention away.”

    “Great General, please feel free to leave it to the last general!”

    In the seat, a tall and lanky general stood up, his left eye was grayish-white and empty, seemingly no longer able to see, but his right eye was cold and stern.

    This person is called Zhuo Haoran, nicknamed “Zhuo Butcher”, temperament of fighting and killing, initiated madness, regardless of the old, weak, women and children or young and strong, in his eyes there is no difference.

    When he was a bandit, he never left any survivors in the caravan, and every now and then, he would lead his team to go out and slaughter the civilians, so that he could have a good time.

    Because of his violent temperament, he was not treated well by other generals in the Yunzhou army, but it was undeniable that this man possessed extremely strong military commanding ability and combat ability.

    Qi Guangbo had personally praised this man as a rare general.

    “Yes!”

    Qi Guangbo laughed, “Within five days, if you can’t attack Songshan County, you’ll roll back and brush the toilet.”

    Zhuo Haoran licked his lips, his right eye shooting out an excited and cold chilling light.

    After the matter was finalized, Qi Guangbo laughed:

    “With any luck, we’ll have fresh reinforcements in less than half a month.”

    Ji Xuan frowned, “The Buddhist Sect wants to retain its strength to deal with the Southern Demon, and on the Witch God Sect’s side, the State Master had sent someone to negotiate, but the Grand Sorcerer refused the alliance.”

    His eyes lit up, “Compulsion?”

    Qi Guangbo nodded his head and glanced at the generals who were also beaming:

    “Otherwise, don’t you find it strange where Ge Wenxuan has gone?”

    Ge Wenxuan was a disciple of the State Master, and also an outstanding general of the Subterranean Dragon City’s Green and Strong Faction, a man who excelled in wisdom and tactics, and his tactics of arranging troops and formations were perfect.

    Such an outstanding young general should have had a place in the marquee.

    But after the rise of the Yunzhou army, he disappeared and never appeared.

    Chi Guangbo said in a deep voice:

    “Since my army left Yunzhou, Supervisor Zheng has been hanging over our heads like a sword. The State Master and the Bodhisattva of the Garuda Tree held him in check, but they were likewise held in check by the Supervisor.

    “This has left the State Master with no time to plan for anything else, the situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the alliance between the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and Xu Qi’an are examples.

    “Fortunately, the State Master had anticipated this and left the brocade bag of tricks for Ge Wenxuan to do.”

    Ji Xuan nodded slowly.

    After the uprising, the State Master and the Supervisor threw themselves into the chessboard, from the previous secret game, into the open fight.

    While he and Galaxia held the Supervisor in check, he was also held in check by the Supervisor and was powerless to be plotting anything else.

    During this period, it had instead given Xu Qi’an the opportunity to bounce around, which had led to the current tense situation in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

    “I told you, the Master of the State has no limits to his calculations, so how could he run out of ideas so easily.”

    “Without the Buddha Sect, but if the Companions had sent out troops to help, the result would still be the same.”

    “The Southern Border Compass Clan has a longstanding grudge against the Great Feng, and will definitely send troops, so we’ll just wait for reinforcements.”

    The generals had almost blind faith in Xu Pingfeng.

    ………..

    Two days later, a group of four people and a fox came out of the barren mountains and came to the side of the flat official road.

    Under Lina’s guidance, the group of four people and a fox that skillfully avoided the tribes along the way finally arrived at the territory of the Force Compass Ministry.

    “Eighty miles farther on is the Ber Mountain, the home base of our Force Compass Ministry.”

    Lina bounced a little, her face beaming while the joy of returning home.

    Behind her, Xu Suoyin held the Peaceful Sword, cutting through the thorns along the way and opening up a path for everyone to pass through.

    “Finally a way out ………”

    Xu Qi’an said in a bad mood, “You still don’t admit that you’re lost? Why didn’t you take this official road earlier, favoring going over the mountains.”

    “Geez, it’s not getting lost, I’m taking you guys on a shortcut to avoid those obnoxious clans in the meantime.”

    Lina explained.

    Xu Qi’an upended Mu Nanjia on his back, feeling the plump and soft petite body of the reincarnation of the Flower God, and said:

    “Okay, moving on.”

    The mountain road is too difficult to walk, Mu Nanjian soon can’t, can only be carried by Xu Qi’an.

    Now out of the big mountain, should have let her down, but Mu Nanjian’s delicate soft body, round and elastic buttocks, no matter touch or feel, all make Xu Qi’an hard to let go.

    Mu Nanjia likewise did not ask for his own walk, dog and man unspoken silence.

    Eighty miles of road, on foot, it will take about a day, the line walked for half an hour, the barren mountains are gradually less, the plains are more and more, the climate of the southern border is temperate, the mountains are still green, and the roadside weeds are undulating.

    The cold plague in the Central Plains did not affect this area in the least.

    “Shoo!”

    Suddenly, whistling sounds came from the left side, pointing straight at Xu Qi’an.

    He didn’t stop his footsteps, twisted his head and blew gently, the arrow with terrifying force and whistling like electricity was suddenly like a soft willow in the wind, blown away.

    From the bushes on the left, two young men in animal skin sewn clothing and carrying cow horns for hard work ran out.

    They were dark-skinned, with pale blue eyes and naturally curly hair.

    “You are not a merchant caravan and cannot enter the territory of our Force Compass Ministry.”

    The young man with the square face on the left, chided in Southland dialect.

    The young man on his right, on the other hand, bent his bow and aimed it at Xu Qi’an.

    He was the only man on the team.

    However, the two young men from the Force Compulsion Ministry didn’t have much hostility, and it was thought that Xu Lingyin’s presence had paralyzed them.

    “Toulon, Woody, it’s me, it’s me.”

    Lina waved her arms happily, obviously recognizing the young pair.

    “Who are you?”

    The square-faced man scrutinized her suspiciously.

    Lina froze at the question and pointed to her face, “It’s me, I’m Lina!”

    “Bullshit, born white and tender, looks like a woman from the Central Plains.”

    Another young man with a bent bow loosened the bowstring and shot an arrow at Lina.
