After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuhua looked at Lin Shuqian hiding in his arms in astonishment, and felt a chill on his back.

Doesn't she know that what she said will harm Xiao Ya?

Hou Huairen looked at the people of Yunhua Village gloomily and ordered: "Du Zhongsheng, have someone keep a close eye on them and send them all away tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Lin Dayong hurriedly knelt down and crawled to Hou Huairen's feet, crying and shouting, "Sir, didn't you say that you would release whoever told you? Sir!"

Hou Huairen bent down, stared at Lin Dayong's panic-stricken appearance, sneered, stood up, flicked his sleeves and walked out, and Du Zhongsheng hurriedly followed him.

"Sir, please let me go! Please..."

----

In the study, Hou Huairen threw away the secret letter in his hand in annoyance. Food, food, more food!

After a moment, he rubbed his swollen and aching temple, sighed, bent down to pick up the secret letter on the ground, and shouted towards the door: "Hou Er."

Hou Er, who was guarding the door of the study, pushed it open and walked in lightly.

"Look, they're asking for food again." Hou Huairen handed him the secret letter.

Hou Er took the secret letter, read it quickly, and said thoughtfully: "Sir, we sent the 20,000 dan of grain we collected yesterday, and there is no grain in the granary now."

Hou Huairen hesitated for a moment and asked him again: "Are the Ma and Wang families still unwilling to give in?"

"Sir, Hou San and Hou Si who are guarding the two houses have not come to report, so they probably haven't agreed yet."

"Isn't it just asking them to donate 20,000 dan of grain? They are all very rich. If they are willing to donate, why would I go and rob those unruly people of their grain?

Don't you think about how much benefit they can get if the eldest prince inherits the throne? What short-sighted fools they are!"

Hou Huairen was so angry that he slammed an inkstone to the ground. "Go and tell them, if they still refuse to donate food, don't blame us for being rude. Let them think about the fate of the civilians in the city."

Hou Er was a little hesitant: "Sir, this may not be appropriate. The husband of a aunt in the Ma family is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. If..."

Hou Huairen's scarlet eyes were filled with madness: "It's already this time, why are you still worrying about these things? Whether you fall into the abyss or ascend to heaven in one step depends on this month."

He looked at his confidant and said in a hoarse voice, "Let the people sent out continue to collect food. The eldest prince can't wait.

We captured all the refugees who entered the city and sent the young and strong men to Yu Ping's mansion as the eldest prince needed people.

If the refugees cause trouble, we will kill them as an example and chop off their wives and children.”

Hou Er didn't dare to look up at Hou Huairen. He lowered his head, responded, and walked out of the study.

Just as he reached the door, Hou Huairen suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait."

He waved Hou Er in and ordered, "Tell Hou Wu to take a few martial arts masters to the west gate and kill Lin An and his wife and children.

Then bring his daughter back to me. If they dare to touch my people, they will pay the price!"

"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."

At midnight, at the city gate, several dark shadows hid on a big tree.

There were some refugees lying on the ground at the city gate, already fast asleep. These refugees had arrived after the third hour and were waiting to enter the city the next day.

"Fifth brother, there is no mule cart here. Didn't second brother say that man was driving a mule cart? And these people don't look like people who know kung fu." A short man asked the man next to him.

Hou Wu looked around carefully, then looked towards Cuiluan Mountain not far away, and whispered to the men behind him: "They may have gone to Cuiluan Mountain. Let's go over and take a look."

"Yes." Several people responded in a low voice.

Hou Huairen has five personal bodyguards with high martial arts skills, and Hou Wu is one of them.

In the Zhou Dynasty, there were two types of people who practiced martial arts.

One type is people who know martial arts but have no internal strength, such as bodyguards, ordinary guards, etc.

Another type is a martial arts master who has cultivated inner strength.

Since internal force techniques are relatively scarce, most of the techniques possessed by powerful people are ordinary ones.

Only some powerful martial arts sects have slightly better martial arts. Of course, Lin Shuyue's family practiced top-level martial arts.

At the foot of Cuiluan Mountain, two bonfires added a touch of warmth to the cold night.

The firewood burning in the fire occasionally made crackling sounds, and Lin An added some firewood to the two fires from time to time.

Looking at everyone who was already fast asleep, Lin An raised his head and looked towards the city. The gate of the city was already closed.

I wonder what happened to the village chief and his men? Were they arrested or did they escape from the city safely?

Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, stood up and sat on the frame, leaning against the carriage and closing his eyes to take a nap.

Suddenly, Lin An, who was leaning against the carriage, moved his ears slightly, then sat up and knocked on the door: "Someone is coming."

In the carriage, Li and Lin Shuyue opened their eyes, quickly tidied their clothes, and got out of the carriage.

Lin Shuyuan and his two brothers who were sitting by the fire also woke up and looked around vigilantly with knives in hand.

Lin Shuyue signaled to Li to wake up Grandma Xiuyin's family. There was a baby in their house, so they had to hide and not scare the baby.

Erlangzi was awakened by their noise. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked them what was wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking, eight men in black jumped out of the darkness with swords in their hands and attacked Lin An together.

Lin An quickly dodged the stabbing sword by moving his body to the side, and jumped out of the encirclement. He turned his body flexibly and chopped the knife in his hand straight at the back of one of them.

The person who was hit endured the severe pain and quickly retreated, while the other men in black rushed forward.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shuyue and a few others immediately rushed forward. The man in black saw that those rushing over were three children and a woman, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to confront Lin An.

Li's Red Cloud Whip swung forward, hooked a man in black and threw him to the ground.

He came forward and hit him with two more whips. Some pieces of flesh were hanging on the barbs of the whip, and the man in black on the ground was vomiting blood and dying.

Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan were not much behind. Each of them faced a man in black. They swung their knives with great force and soon took care of the two men in black.

Next to Lin Shuyue lay two men in black, covering their necks with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe that they were killed by a little girl.

Zhao Xiuyin's family and Erlangzi hid on the hillside and watched the thrilling fight below. They didn't dare to breathe and nervously pinched the corners of their clothes.

There were only three men in black left on the field. Hou Wu looked at the bodies of his brothers on the ground, heartbroken.

Then he swung his sword and angrily attacked Lin An. He wanted to avenge his brothers.

Lin An looked at the oncoming sword without changing his expression, and chopped it hard with the Tang sword in his hand, breaking Hou Wu's sword into two pieces.

In anger and grief, Hou Wu threw away the broken sword in his hand and rushed forward with clenched fists.

Lin An grabbed his fist and twisted it hard.

"Crack", Hou Wu groaned, and just as he was about to raise his other hand, a sword was placed on his neck.
