Mu Ziyu could not leave His Royal Highness, so Lin Min led ten Han patrolmen to pick up the Hui people.To make their journey smooth, Cecil also took the royal coat of arms and handwritten a warrant of passage for them.With these two tokens, if soldiers from other places want to arrest them, they only need to show the token and the pass order to prove that they are slaves under the name of the third prince of the empire, and that they came out to serve His Royal Highness. People from other forces have to be more scruples.

"But this is just an extra layer of protection. If someone does not recognize these two tokens and still insists on arresting you, you should find a way to escape one or two people and come back to report to me. I will definitely rescue you when I receive the news. In short , everything must be life-saving." Before leaving, Cecil did not forget to ask.

The things Cecil gave were just in case, but they didn't expect Lin Min and the others to come in handy.

The ethnic Han nationality is located in a hidden area in the Black Forest. The only way to get in is from a certain mountain stream on the west side of the Black Forest. The entrance is very remote and usually inaccessible.But this time when Lin Min and the others approached the forest, they were surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers.

"Look at these mud people, they are really rich. They stole horses from somewhere, and they dare to ride them out in such an open manner! They haven't been arrested yet!" A man with the appearance of a knight came out and said condescendingly.

Lin Min and the others felt ominous when they saw these people, but they couldn't allow them to think too much at this moment.

Lin Min took out the royal token and the written order that His Highness gave him: "We are slaves of His Highness the Third Prince, and we came out this time to serve His Highness. Where are you knights? Except for His Majesty's subordinates, no one else Qualified to arrest us!"

The knight saw that the token presented was indeed the emblem and totem of the royal family, so he waved his hand to let the soldiers under him disperse.

"It turned out to be His Highness's people, so naturally I won't arrest you."

As the knight said that, he let Lin Min and the others leave.

Unexpectedly, the siege was resolved so smoothly. Lin Min and others breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to enter the forest.

Before leaving, the knight suddenly said again: "Are you looking for the group of mud people in the forest? Speaking of which, those people are really cunning, they obviously found their traces, but they rushed into the forest again in no time." The forest is gone, there are only a few who are too old to run, and they will not tell where the others are hiding until they die. You are of the same race, so you should be able to find where those people are hiding, right? If His Highness doesn't want so many slaves, you can send a few to our Lord Morton, and the price will definitely not let His Highness suffer."

Hearing these words, Lin Min and the others clenched the weapons around them, their eyes tearing apart.A young and impulsive Han man immediately wanted to turn around and ask the other party for an explanation: "What have you done to the old people in our family!"

Lin Min grabbed the other party: "Don't be impulsive, there are so many of them... this is to provoke us on purpose, it's important to find the tribe first, and don't cause trouble for His Highness."

Several people held back their hatred and entered the forest, while Duke Morton's men stayed outside.

"Tsk! It seems that this group of Mud Clan Lord Dukes can't get it anymore, so go back and report it to your lord."

When Lin Min and his group found the clan land, they saw that the once warm home was in a mess, with the remains of burning, killing and looting everywhere.There were more than a dozen humanoid bodies lying on the ground, and Lin Min and others hurried up to check.

"It's Old Uncle Zhao!"

"And Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up, I'm back..." "These are old people from our clan..." There were also a few corpses belonging to young people in the clan, At first glance, he died of serious injuries.No matter how Lin Min and others shouted, these clansmen had lost their breath, and there was no living clansman around them.Looking at the scars on the corpses, most of the old people committed suicide, and a few had other scars on their bodies, which seemed to have been punished.

"Those people are so hateful! Even an old man who has no resistance like Grandpa will not be spared!" A young man named Hong Zuo said while hugging the corpse of an old man, trembling slightly with strong hatred .

The corpse of the old man he was holding was his own grandfather.Hong Zuo's parents died long ago, and his grandfather was his only relative.When he left the clan with the young patriarch before, the patriarch clearly promised to take good care of his grandfather, but now... what the hell is going on!

Lin Min and others buried all the corpses of the tribesmen here, and then set off with grief to find the traces of the remaining tribesmen.There are not many places in the forest for people to live together, and Lin Min and the others know the places that the Duke's people can't find.

At this time, the rest of the Han people were hiding in the caves where they hid during the snow season, trembling like frightened birds.

Misfortunes never come singly, the previous patriarch was injured during the first hunting operation after the snow season, and later died of serious injuries, and the young patriarch was no longer in the clan. Now the patriarch's youngest son, Mu Zile, is succeeding the patriarch .Although Mu Zile is only two years younger than the patriarch Mu Ziyu, she has been pampered by her mother Cui Shi and grew up. Whether it is bending the bow and drawing the arrow or planning and making decisions, she can't do well. Now that she is in danger, how can she bear the heavy burden , or let his mother Cui help make decisions.

And Cui Shi is a selfish, short-sighted little woman!The old people in the clan were killed by her!

When escaping before, it was Cui who ordered the elders of the clan to stay behind to delay the enemy and buy time for other clansmen to escape.It's not that no one objected, but the enemy couldn't tolerate their internal disputes at all. In desperation, the old people voluntarily stayed and urged the others to leave quickly.

When many people ran, they left with tears in their eyes.

After hiding in the cave here, everyone slowly recovered from their fear, only to realize that they were running too fast when they escaped, and they didn't bring any rations.In fact, starving for two days at such a time is the safest choice to go out to find something to eat after confirming that no enemies are coming, but Cui disagrees! She immediately asked the young people in the clan to go out hunting and looking for food. Regardless of the fact that there may be enemies searching outside!

In the face of other people's doubts, Cui also plausibly said: "If you still have the strength, don't go out to find food. After two days of starvation, you will not be able to walk. What energy do you have to hunt?" "What to eat when you are running away?" If no one goes out to find food, will everyone starve to death here? It’s okay for me to be hungry as a woman, but what about Le’er? You don’t even care about the patriarch?” “Eating weeds and Bark? When Le'er's father was still around, no matter how hard it was, he never made us live such a hard life, now that he's gone for a long time, we orphans and widows can't even eat a decent meal?"
