on the way.
Su Yunhai then abandoned the carriage carrying the county magistrate's family.
To prevent the magistrate from returning to continue harming the people of Yingze County, he directly slit the magistrate's throat.
As for his family members, Su Yunhai did not touch them.
He and Shen Shuli rode away quickly on horseback to catch up with the Peach Blossom Village group.
.
The Northern Barbarian army has already conquered three states in succession.
They are fully prepared and ready to march on Qingzhou!
"Torre, why haven't we heard anything from the men you sent out yet?"
Bogda sat in his tent, looking at the few subordinates standing in front of him, and finally fixed his gaze on one of the burly men.
Torre immediately bent his head slightly, put his fist to his chest, and said with a heavy expression, "Reporting to the general, I have been out of contact with my men for eight days. I suppose they have met with misfortune."
"That scoundrel Xie deserves to die! How could he escape like this! Immediately send several more teams to sneak into the capital and bring me the goods back!"
Bogda slammed his fist on the wooden table in front of him.
The wooden table immediately cracked with several fissures.
The things on the table instantly scattered all over the floor!
"Yes, General, I will take care of it immediately!"
"The rest of you, set off immediately! I'm going to storm into the capital of the Great Yong Dynasty within a month!"
"Yes!"
The Northern Barbarian army advanced very quickly.
Every village and county town encountered along the way was completely slaughtered!
Fortunately, most people had already received advance warning and those who could flee had already done so.
However, many fearless people who refused to listen to advice still stayed behind.
These people all became victims of the northern barbarians' swords.
The army arrived without any obstacles thirty miles outside the city gate of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Two teams of scouts were dispatched to investigate the situation outside the city gates of Qingzhou Prefecture.
"Report! General!"
"The gates of Qingzhou Prefecture are wide open! Our subordinates sneaked in to investigate and found that Qingzhou has become a ghost town, with most of the people having already fled! There was no sign of any troops inside the city!"
Bogda did not expect that the people of Qingzhou Prefecture had fled so early!
Even the military camps have all been evacuated!
It went so smoothly, it's like God was on his side!
"Enter the city immediately, rest for one night, and then set off again!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the Northern Barbarian army entered Qingzhou Prefecture in an orderly manner.
The Lin family, who had been hiding in a mountain village, have managed to gather a new batch of food in the past few days and are setting off again with the supplies.
They don't know.
Behind him stood an army of 200,000 Northern Barbarians!
That night.
Lin Wanwan had another precognitive dream.
I dreamt that a large army of northern barbarians had already invaded Qingzhou Prefecture, and was less than two hundred miles away from Shan'ao Village!
She didn't care that it was already late at night.
He ran to Lin Wufeng's room in a panic and pounded on the door.
"Father! Father! Father! Something terrible has happened!" Lin Wanwan pounded on the door in terror.
Lin Wufeng's injuries have healed after a few days of rest.
However, the internal injuries are quite severe, and it will take more than a month of rest to fully recover.
He was woken up just as he fell asleep, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lin Wanwan, are you sick?!" Mrs. Lin was also woken up and shouted impatiently at the door.
Lin Wanwan couldn't care less about anything else at the moment and kept banging on the door.
"Father, it's urgent! I have something important to tell you!" Lin Wanwan ignored Madam Lin's scolding and continued to bang on the door and call for help.
The other people living in the same courtyard were woken up.
Lin Wuchong, Lin Jingchen, and the others had already gotten up and run over to check.
Seeing Lin Wanwan's anxious state, Lin Wufeng guessed that she must have dreamt about something again.
He kicked Madam Lin hard, knocking her off the bed, then quickly put on an outer robe and went to open the door.
"Wanwan, what's the rush?" Lin Wufeng saw that the courtyard was full of people, so this was not the place to talk.
He led Lin Wuchong directly to the main room and lit the oil lamp.
Lin Wanwan immediately recounted the entire scene from her dream.
"Father, I just dreamt that the Northern Barbarian army of 200,000 has arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture and is less than 200 li away from us!"
"Let's run! I'm worried they'll catch up! They definitely won't let us go!"
Lin Wufeng and Lin Wuchong's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this!
Lin Wufeng's lips trembled, and his face was pale as he pressed on, "Is this true? Did you dream about which route they would take to enter the capital?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head, her face pale, and said, "I haven't dreamed about it yet, but we can't take the risk. If those barbarians find us, we'll definitely be in big trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wuchong immediately said, "Brother, Wanwan is right. No matter which path they choose, we must leave this place as soon as possible!"
"If the Northern Barbarian army gets there first, we'll have a hard time getting into the capital!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wufeng no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his men to pack their things and leave.
along the way.
The Lin family dared not relax their vigilance at all.
Everyone is rushing as fast as they can.
As they merged from the deserted road onto the official road, they ran right into the refugees from Qingzhou.
The refugees who had been led by Shen Shuli to the deserted temple on the mountain had already come down the mountain with their food.
Among the refugees, some knew that there was a Yingze County nearby with a very famous Yingze Lake.
The refugees who received food had no water to cook their meals, so they hurried desperately toward Yingze County.
The Lin family carried a considerable amount of food, though not a large quantity.
They didn't dare compete with the tens of thousands of refugees for the road.
But with an army of 200,000 hanging over the Lin family, they dared not waste time following the refugees on their slow journey.
"Second brother, take some men and spread the word that the Northern Barbarian army is coming. Let these disgusting lowly people run for their lives!" Lin Wufeng ordered with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wuchong nodded to his elder brother and immediately led several guards to spread the news.
really.
The refugees were all afraid of the barbarian tribes from beyond the borders.
Upon hearing the news, they immediately turned tail and ran without a second thought.
Many unsuspecting refugees and those who hadn't yet reacted were knocked to the ground by the refugees behind them, and many were trampled to death or injured.
But the effect is obvious.
"Brother, there's a fairly large Yingze Lake nearby, and it doesn't seem to have dried up yet. Should we take a detour and go there to fetch some water?" Lin Wuchong asked.
Lin Wufeng realized that the team was short of water, and they had already used up a lot of it in their efforts to speed up their journey.
We should replenish the water source whenever we have the opportunity.
"I'll go, but we have to speed up our journey," Lin Wufeng decided immediately.
"yes, Sir!"
The Lin family spent another day traveling before finally arriving in Yingze County.
To the Lin family's surprise, the gates of Yingze County were wide open, and no city gate fee was charged; there were no soldiers guarding the gates either.
The Lin family inquired along the way and only then did they find out.
The water level in Yingze Lake has dropped rapidly, leaving only a small amount of water in the center of the lake.
Two days ago, the county magistrate sold a batch of grain to the people at a low price, allowing them to take the grain and water and evacuate south.
Those who remained were the people who were unwilling to leave and did not believe the news, thinking it was just alarmist talk.
Lin Wufeng felt conflicted upon hearing this.
If they had arrived two days earlier, they might have been able to obtain a batch of grain.
But it's not too late to know now.
Why don't they just rob the people who bought the grain?
"Let's go fetch water first," Lin Wufeng instructed the convoy to set off.
