The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Within the territory of Jiuyuan.

Hu cavalry roared and galloped through the fields, plundering merchants on both sides of the road.

After Tian Yan and a group of masters from Lieshan Hall left the Northland, they accompanied a caravan and headed for Jiuyuan City.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as they entered Jiuyuan, they encountered so many barbarians, hundreds of them.

The leader of the caravan travels all over the country and is also a ruthless person.

The terrain here is open and there are only a few knights to protect the caravan. Fighting with the barbarians is a dead end. Even dragging these barbarians can drag them to death.

Riding Hu Qi and still some distance away from the caravan, the leader of the caravan immediately decided to put all the trucks together in a square shape, then unload the wood and other items from the trucks and pile them around to form a simple fence. The barrier was used to stop Hu Qi's charge.

Although there were only a few knights in the caravan, there were dozens of guards armed with simple spears and bows. They were quickly ordered down by the leader of the caravan and arranged behind the barrier.

Tian Yan was asked to get out of the carriage and observed the situation in the distance, while Mei Sanniang protected her closely. They were escorted by the caravan in the center. Unlike the other caravan members who were facing a powerful enemy, the three women seemed extraordinarily calm.

"Sister, do you think these people can stop those barbarians?" Xiaolan stood next to Tian Yan and said worriedly. When away from home, they all treat each other as sisters.

When the barbarians in the distance saw the caravan setting up defensive facilities, they not only did not flinch, but the roaring became louder and louder.

"This is someone who has lost everything."

Tian Yan's eyes flashed with light and he sighed.

"Lost everything?" Mei Sanniang asked puzzledly, what does this mean?

"Faith was wiped out, pride was crushed, and the honor of the military was gone. After the fall of Chu, I saw too many people like this. They lost the king they relied on to serve, the land they protected, and the rest of their lives. They just live in hunger, cold and humiliation. Their eyes are somewhat similar to those of these barbarians."

"Sister, you mean they are nothing to be afraid of?" Xiaolan asked.

"No, quite the opposite."

Just as Tian Yan finished speaking, more than a dozen ragged Hu riders had already rushed to the edge of the barrier. They easily avoided the spears piercing them, and the momentum of the galloping horses broke through the outermost truck. The leader of the caravan piled another layer of wood and goods inside, otherwise the barbarians would have broken through the defense line.

What followed was dozens of feather arrows coming from the sky.

"Be careful!" Mei Sanniang waved the giant scythe in her hand and blocked several long arrows shot at them.

Hu Qi's cooperation was perfect, and that round of arrow rain suppressed the caravan archers who wanted to bend their bows and set arrows, allowing those charging Hu Qi to return. While running, the sparse archery skills of the caravan's archers could not pose any danger to them.

Tian Yan was in the center, his expression still indifferent. She has experienced extremely cruel hardships, but now she is becoming more and more calm. Even in the crisis, she is still graceful and graceful.

"The Hu people's army has been killed and dispersed by Meng Tian. This group of remnant soldiers had a way out to the north, but they happened to appear here. In other words, they wanted to die. Their past beliefs were crushed by the Qin army, and they relied on looting They use killing to vent their hesitation and fear, so for us, these gangs of horsemen are very dangerous."

Mei Sanniang observed carefully that although these barbarians were disheveled and had messy hair, their faces were all red and their expressions showed madness. Not only did they not flinch when they were injured, but they rushed over even more desperately.

"Then sister, what should we do?" Xiaolan asked.

"Wait! There are so many barbarians here and there. It's impossible for the Qin army not to notice them. The army hunting for them will come soon. As long as we survive this period of time."

There was another round of impact, and many of the caravan's guards were injured by the arrows thrown by Hu Qi.

The leader of the caravan stood in front and said loudly: "Brothers, these bastards are running out of arrows. If we survive this period, we will survive. If we cannot survive, we will all die."

The leader's voice restored a lot of confidence to the demoralized caravan guards. The terrain here is open. Once the barrier in front is broken through by Hu Qi, they are in the wild and there is only a dead end.

Tian Yan shook his head. This group of horsemen had not yet used their full strength. Hundreds of steps away, there were still dozens of horsemen watching quietly. They are now like a cat catching a mouse, playing with it, playing with it, and when they get tired of playing, they will swallow it in one gulp.

"Hall Master, if the defense line is broken later, I will escort you away." Mei Sanniang said softly. The disciples accompanying the farmer are nearby, and they must be arriving soon after receiving the signal.

At this moment, changes suddenly occurred.

A few hundred steps away, the dozens of riders who had been waiting, Hu Qiqiqu, suddenly changed direction and headed east.

"What happened?" Tian Yan's eyes turned, and he saw a convoy coming slowly from the lowland several miles away.

The convoy was thin. Twenty or so knights were guarding an inconspicuous carriage, which looked like a wealthy family traveling.

Surprisingly, when they encountered Hu Qi, who was approaching at a gallop, they did not flinch, but instead faced him.

The carriage was still moving forward, unhurriedly, and the twenty or so knights separated into more than ten people and rushed out towards Hu Qi.

What surprised everyone in the caravan behind the barrier was that the Hu Qi, who seemed to them like wolves and tigers, could not hold up under the sharp edge of those dozen knights. In one round, dozens of people were killed by those knights.

Hu Qi, who was besieging the caravan, also noticed something unusual there. At this moment, they gave up on the prey they were about to get and headed towards the direction of the caravan for reinforcements.

"Who are they?"

Mei Sanniang also saw it. It was obvious that the guards around the man in the carriage were not of the same order of magnitude as those horsemen. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they are also familiar with battle formations and have perfect cooperation.

The leader of the caravan took advantage of this opportunity and ordered people to repair the barriers quickly. He didn't know how long the cavalry team to the east could last, but for them, it was good news.

However, Tian Yan no longer stayed behind the barrier. Under the protection of Mei Sanniang, he took Xiaolan out some distance, so that he could see the battle scene in the distance more clearly.

The melee continued, but Hu Qi had already fallen into decline.

With a small number against a large number, the escort of the convoy did not fall behind at all. However, the number of guards in the convoy was small after all, and they could not completely stop it. There were ten or twenty horsemen heading in the direction of the carriage.

There were only a few guards around the carriage. Facing the rushing Hu Qi, they drew out their long swords from their scabbards. Instead of approaching them, they dispersed towards the left and right airspace.

These guards were extremely skilled. Just when Hu Qi, who was charging at the front, was still ten steps away from the carriage, at that moment, several guards stationed in the air shot at Hu Qi like feather arrows.

The sunlight was shining, and the figures of the guards were like streams of silver light, moving so fast that people couldn't see clearly.

In just a few breaths, the Hu people's horses were still charging forward, but the owners of the horses fell down ten steps away from the carriage.

The guards fell to the ground, the swords in their hands sheathed.

From beginning to end, the carriage did not stop its pace and continued to drive towards Tian Yan and others.

But on the road where the carriage was traveling, no body of a foreigner fell down.

"Master, it's not easy to control the people in the carriage!" Mei Sanniang sighed.

The war ended with Hu Qi's complete defeat. More than a hundred barbarian cavalry launched a decisive blow, not even touching the owner of the carriage.

The leader of the caravan and his men rushed to Tian Yan's side, wanting to thank the people in the caravan for their life-saving grace at this crossing.

However, the advance guard of the people in the carriage remained indifferent and separated them.

"Hall Master, be careful." During the pushing, the frail Tian Yan became unsteady and was supported by Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang said angrily: "What! These guys!"

"I'm fine." Tian Yan shook his head and said.

In the midst of the melee just now, the carriage that had not stopped moving stopped in front of the caravan.

Looking from the direction of Tian Yan, the owner of the carriage pushed open the window with a white jade finger, called an accompanying guard, and gave a few instructions. The guard nodded, walked towards the crowd, and said to Tian Yan: "Girl, my master invites you to come and see him."

"Who is your master? Can you see my sister if you want?" Mei Sanniang said dissatisfied.

Having just experienced a bloody battle, the guard's clothes were still stained with blood and scars, but the expression on the guard's face remained unchanged, or in other words, very hard. Faced with doubts, he just repeated what he just said.

"My master will ask this girl for a moment."

"You..." Mei Sanniang wanted to take action, but Tian Yan stopped her.

"Let a strong man lead the way."

"Amei!" Mei Sanniang said worriedly.

"Sanniang, Xiaolan. Go to Jiuyuan City and wait for me!" Tian Yan slowly boarded the carriage and stood on the shaft, saying.

As Tian Yan entered the carriage, the carriage continued to move forward, heading towards Jiuyuan City without stopping.

Unlike Mei Sanniang and others who were at a loss, Tian Yan in the carriage showed a smile on his pale pink lips. He looked at the lazy man in brocade clothes sitting sideways not far away and said, "The war has just stopped. , I didn’t expect you to come here? Your Highness the Crown Prince!”

………

Deep in the green mountains, there is a solitary ridge slanting out of the dense forest.

Xiaomeng holds the Qiuli in her hand and is wearing a light blue long dress with water sleeves. She has an ethereal appearance, standing alone on it, as if she is waiting for something?

The white clouds drifted away, and several people emerged from the forest.

"metropolitan!"

Behind Xiaomeng, several young Tianzong disciples followed an old man, appeared behind her, and said.

"whats the matter?"

The Qiuli sword flicked, the sleeves swayed, and Xiao Meng asked.

"Taiyi Mountain, Guanmiao Terrace. The five-year appointment between the two sects of heaven and man is approaching. The elders in the sect invite the sect master to go to this appointment between heaven and man."

"Is that all?" Xiaomeng frowned, her tone full of contempt, as if this was not a big deal.

The white-haired elder paused slightly and said with his hands, "Yes."

"I won't go!" Xiaomeng said willfully.

Such an unexpected answer made the white-haired old man stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrongly, and said again: "Sect Master, the appointment between heaven and man is of great importance, and it is related to the ownership of Xue Ji left by the ancestor. At this moment, the Sect Master has Are you troubled by something important?"

"When did those old men really care about Xue Ji's ownership? How about leaving it in Xiaoyaozi's hands for a few years?" Xiao Meng said with a chuckle, turning around and wanting to leave.

"Sect Master, I have one more thing to say." Looking at Xiaomeng who turned around to leave, the elder said hurriedly.

"Say it!"

"The sect master is with Prince Qin at the moment. There are differences between men and women. Although our Tianzong is aloof from the outside world, we cannot be completely separated from the things of the world. After all, people's words are scary."

"I am willing, but do you care?"

Xiaomeng's words were really not what a leader of a sect should say, more like a rebellious girl. Several young disciples behind the old man covered their mouths and snickered when they heard this.

The old man looked embarrassed, glanced back at the disciple behind him, and continued to persuade: "Sect Master, the hundreds of years of disputes between heaven and man may come to an end in this stormy end of the world. At this time, the sect master returns to the mountain gate to preside over The overall situation is to participate in the covenant between heaven and man."

Xiaomeng didn't want to pay attention, but after taking two steps, she suddenly found an old man in a green shirt with a childlike face and crane hair lying on the dense forest, with clouds and mist surrounding him, and white cranes flying beside him.

Xiaomeng raised her hands and said, "Master."

A group of Tianzong disciples behind him followed suit and said: "Master Beiming!"

"Xiaomeng, you have been with Prince Qin for four years. It's time to calm down. Come back to the mountain with me!"

"But master..."

Xiaomeng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Master Beiming. "Prince Qin, it's not too late to go after you've made your appointment with heaven and man."

"Yes, Master." Although Xiaomeng was reluctant, she still lowered her head and said.

……..

In the north of Saibei, the king's court of the Xiongnu Chanyu.

There was a banquet going on here.

After the remaining Huns fled north, they were appeased and collected by Modun Shanyu. Over the past few days, nearly 50,000 troops had gathered.

After hearing this, the leaders of various Xiongnu surnames also gathered towards the court of Shan Yu.

This banquet was for this group of Hun nobles.

But at this moment, instead of hearing the sound of joy, the camp was filled with bloody wailing.

The old shaman stood outside the tent, his eyes as cold as frost.

The wolf girl walked out of the camp, stood beside him, and said, "Old shamans, including many leaders of the three surnames, have been killed by our descendants of the Moon Wolf."

"Very good. Without these worms, Shanyu will be better able to recruit their troops."

"This formation really shocked me!"

A scantily clad woman opened the curtain. The woman's eyes were icy blue, and her eyes were gold and platinum. There was still fear in her strange eyes.

"Hu Ji, you know why I want to spare your life and let you serve Shanyu. So, don't show this expression in front of me." The old shaman said mercilessly.

Hu Ji smiled, her expression became cold, and she lost all the weakness she had just now, and said: "Don't worry! I will give you the news inside the empire on time."
