Due to the cold weather and the habits she had developed in her previous life, Xia Lan did not sleep too soundly at this time.
Xia Lan heard some movement when the Qin soldiers approached her.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance with the help of the fire.
" Soldiers!?"
"Is it the Qin army or…"
Seeing this, Xia Lan frowned slightly and nudged Gongshiju beside her.
"Hmm?"
Gongshiju was also an old soldier, so he did not make too much of a commotion.
"Wolves?"
Gong Shiju asked softly while rubbing his eyes as he lay beside Xia Lan in a daze.
Xia Lan shook her head and said,"
"Soldiers."
"Uncle, is that the Qin army?"
When Gongshiju heard this, he looked into the distance with the help of the fire.
"It's the Qin army."
"Kid Lan, this should be the army sent by the king to deal with the wolf problem.”
Seeing that the other party was a Qin soldier, Gongshiju heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Xia Lan felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, if the other party was really here to deal with the wolf plague, they should not have to be so careful and prepared to launch a sneak attack.
"Uncle…"
"Are you the Qin soldiers sent by the king to deal with the wolf plague?”
Xia Lan was just about to tell Gongshiju to be careful, but she did not expect this honest man to have already stood up and shouted.
In the dead of night, Gongshiju's voice was loud and clear in the dark night sky.
Not far away, the Qin soldiers who had sneaked over were shocked.
For a moment, they were at daggers drawn!
" Brothers, don't panic. I'm also a soldier. After the battle of Martial City, I'll take a break and return home…"
On the other side-
Hearing Gong Shiju's words, the middle-aged station chief's expression changed slightly.""Milord, they aren't refugees. They seem to be hunters from Longxi.”
Hundred General Yan remained silent, his expression turning extremely ugly.
They braved the cold wind and braved the bitter cold to search for a few hours in the northwest.
It was not easy to meet a few people, but they did not expect that the other party was actually a Qin person, and one of them was a Qin soldier.
He was unwilling!
Counting the time, the rooster crowed and the sky was about to brighten.
He did not want to miss this opportunity!
"Shameless thief, impersonating the Great Qin soldiers!”
"Sons, follow me to kill the thief!”
Bai Jiang Yan's eyes revealed a fierce light as he instantly pulled out his sword and shouted.
Behind him, the Qin soldiers all had ugly expressions.
Just by listening to their accent, they could tell that the person in front of them should be a local villager from Longxi.
They didn't feel much about killing the refugees of the six dynasties, but killing their own people…
"You want to disobey my orders?”
Bai Jiang Yan took two steps forward and shouted when he saw that the people behind him were still hesitating.
Great Qin's army was strict, and those who disobeyed orders could be executed on the spot.
Hearing Hundred General Yan's stern shout, everyone's hearts trembled. They gritted their teeth and rushed forward!
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow pierced through the night sky and flew straight towards Gongshiju!
"Uncle, be careful!"
Xia Lan, who had been lying on the slope, saw this and quickly pulled Gongshiju's leg.
Puff!
Gongshiju staggered, but the arrow still hit his thigh!
"Run!"
"Child, run!"
The other old hunters had already woken up.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he instantly shouted.
"Let's fight it out with them!"
Xia Lan was not a coward. She was also from Qin, although she did not know why the other party suddenly attacked her.
However, seeing that they were coming menacingly, he knew that it was impossible for things to end peacefully now!
As he spoke, he immediately drew his bow and shot at the other party!
"Kid Lan!"
Beside him, Old Hunter Uncle Liang grabbed his arrow and said with a complicated expression,""These soldiers must have treated us as spies of the enemy country. If we resist, we will be confirmed as spies.”
"Brother Liang, they want to kill us!”
Gongshiju, whose thigh had been shot by an arrow, grimaced in pain and said,""This little brother once heard in the army that Qin soldiers would kill refugees at the border and use their heads as military merits.”
Clearly, Gongshiju had seen through his opponent's intentions.
"What?"
The old hunters, including Xia Lan, were shocked when they heard this.
"How could such a thing happen!"
Uncle Liang's face stiffened as if he could not believe what Gong Shiju had said.
After a long time-
"Ju, hurry up and take that kid Lan away!”
"You guys are still young. The three of us old fellows will stay behind to buy you some time!”
Uncle Liang said with a determined expression.
"Yes!"
"Ju, after you escape, you must report to the king. Even if the three of us die, we are still old Qin people. We must not be treated as spies!”
……
The three old hunters instantly made a decision.
"No!"
When Xia Lan heard this, a murderous aura that did not match his age appeared on his face!
"Ju, take the child away!"
Seeing that the other party was rushing over quickly, Uncle Liang picked up his longbow and shot an arrow at him!
"Let's go!"
Another old hunter pushed Xia Lan hard, pushing him off the slope.
"Ju, I'll leave Lan Wazi to you!"
With that, he charged forward with the short bow in his hand!
Gongshiju rubbed his left leg, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the three old hunters who were charging at him.
However, when he thought of Pan and his sister-in-law's instructions before he came out, he gritted his teeth and limped down the slope to chase after Xia Lan.
"Uncle Ju!" At the bottom of the slope, Xia Lan struggled to rush up.
"Kid Lan! Don't force yourself!" Gongshiju grabbed him and said through gritted teeth,""I can't let your Uncle Liang and the others die in vain!”
"Let's go!"
With that, he pulled Xia Lan tightly and limped into the distance!
……
On the other side, the three old hunters were basically unable to resist the 50 fully armed Qin soldiers.
A moment later-
Bai Jiangyan cut off the heads of three hunters and held them in his hands.
"Sir, should we bury it?"
The middle-aged station chief looked at the three headless hunters on the ground. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes as he whispered.
"No need. This place is full of wolves. The smell of blood will quickly attract the wolves.”
"Follow this general to chase after those two. Don't leave any survivors!”
Bai Jiangyan's gaze was ruthless. He tied his three bloody heads to his waist and chased after Xia Lan and Xia Lan with his sword.
Gongshiju, who had been shot in the leg, was in pain and had lost too much blood, so his speed gradually slowed down.
"Kid Lan, you can run away by yourself. I…I'll buy you some time.”Gongshiju said with a pale face.
Hearing this, Xia Lan shook her head with tears in her eyes.""Uncle, I want to bring you along."
As he spoke, he prepared to carry Gongshiju on his back.
"Whoosh!"
However, at this moment, a sharp arrow flew over and ruthlessly nailed into the tree trunk beside them!
"Whoosh!"
Another sharp arrow flew over!
"Be careful!"
Gongshiju pushed Xia Lan to the side!
However, he was nailed to the back by a sharp arrow!
"Thieves, surrender!”
In the distance, Bai Jiang Yan's cold voice could be heard…
