"Li Mo!"
Li Mo was already outside the city gates when a crisp voice called him. Who else could it be but Liu Yan!
"Do you remember what you promised me?
What's the meaning of leaving without saying goodbye? "
Liu Yan's face was solemn. She was angry that Li Mo left without telling her!
Li Mo squeezed out a smile, "I'm just going out for a stroll. I'll be back in a few days. Don't be mad that I didn't tell you!"
"Going out for a stroll?
Great!
I'm also bored in the city. Take me with you! "
"It's dangerous outside. Go back to the residence!"
"Li Mo, I hate men who go back on their words!
I hate you! "Liuyan cried at Li Mo, then ran into the city without looking back!" I hate you! "Li Mo's eyes lit up.
Li Mo didn't chase after her but turned back to the mountain range where he used to cultivate!
He wasn't a heartless man, nor did he have no feelings for Liu Yan. But Liu Ming's matter made him think of many things. Liu Changhe, his master, and the two elders were good to him!
But his surname wasn't Liu and Liu Ming was forced to leave because of him. He didn't know how to face the second elder!
If he got too close to Liu Yan, the gossip would drown him. That wasn't what he wanted.
He needed to calm down and think about how to proceed in this strange world!
Li Mo walked in silence, day or night, never stopping until he arrived at the familiar valley!
The trees and vegetation here were much more lush than before!
The babbling of water made him feel even more relaxed!
Li Mo jumped on the boulder he used to cultivate on and sat cross-legged. He soon entered a state of cultivation, allowing the spiritual qi of the mountain to flow into his body!
He was as still as a statue!
Two days after Li Mo's departure, the governor's office grew tense. Because Jade Clear Province's army was closing in on the city!
According to the scouts, the enemy was no longer the vanguard, but Prince Gong Qing's top general, Huang Tianba, personally leading the army!
They were determined to win Fanyang County this time!
As long as Fanyang County was opened to Yu Hua Province, the army of Yu Qing Province would be able to march straight into Su City!
In the meeting hall, Liu Changhe was anxiously discussing with the three elders how to repel the enemy!
"That Huang Tianba is a valiant general with astonishing strength. Moreover, he is a High Ranked General. It seems that our Fanyang County has encountered a strong enemy this time!"
"Changhe, you don't need to panic. Even if he has the strength of a high-level general, I, Liu Shizhong, can still hold him off for a while. I will try my best to buy you some time so that the citizens and their families can leave first."
Liu Shizhong was prepared for the worst. He had already decided to protect the city with his life!
"Big Brother, how can I and Third Brother be left out of this? The three of us have been guarding Fanyang County all this time and have never made any mistakes. Now that the enemy is here, let the three of us face it together. Even if we can't win, at least we can accompany each other on the journey!"
"Yeah!
Big Brother, I agree with Second Brother's opinion! "
"Haha …!
Good!
We three brothers will kill to our heart's content!
Changhe will send the citizens out of the city now. You, Yan 'er, and Liu Jing will go together!
Yan 'er and Liu Jing should leave together. They are the future hope of our Liu Clan!
We can't let anything happen to them! "
Liu Changhe was also infected by the heroic spirit of the three elders!
In his heart, he also had the idea of dying together with them to protect the city!
"Three elders, I am the governor of Fanyang County. Running away before a battle is not the style of the Liu Family's sons!
The children can go, but I must stay! "
"You little brat, are you trying to use the governor to pressure us?
It is precisely because you are the governor that you must leave!
We still need you to take care of the citizens along the way! "
"Elders, don't worry. I will arrange for people to take care of the citizens. Moreover, we are not to be slaughtered by anyone. This time, Liu Jing brought twenty Martial Masters, seventy Martial Warriors, and more than two hundred Martial Artists. Including those of us who were lucky enough to survive, we have a total of nearly three hundred people!
According to my understanding, they have only gathered around three hundred experts. We still have the strength to fight them!
However, that Huang Tianba is not easy to deal with! "
Hearing Liu Changhe's introduction, the three elders' hearts were ignited with the desire for victory. After all, they were not saints, they were all ordinary people. Who wouldn't want to live when there was hope?
"How come we didn't know that so many experts would come as reinforcements?"
"Great Elder, you don't know. At that time, you were injured and had been resting in your room. Second Elder and Third Elder had been paying attention to Little Mo and Liu Ming … In short, you were all busy!
It is natural that you didn't notice! "
Liu Changhe inadvertently brought up the Second Elder's sad matter. He was somewhat regretful!
"It's alright, Changhe. Continue speaking. I, Liu Shixiao, am not as weak as you think!"
"There is nothing else. As long as we deploy our people properly, we can still compete with the enemy this time!"
"Good!
Then we will listen to you. Leave Huang Tianba to the three of us!
As for the rest, we will listen to your arrangements. I have always thought highly of your commanding ability! "
"In that case, three elders, I will go and evacuate the citizens now!"
Time was pressing, so Liu Changhe hurriedly left the governor's mansion with his subordinates.
… …
"I am not leaving!
I want to be with Father! "
Liu Yan stubbornly looked at her father in front of her. When she learned that her father wanted her and her mother to leave the city with the citizens, she firmly refused!
"Yan 'er, listen to me. The enemy this time is different from the past. I have no choice but to let you leave first!
But don't worry, Father will be fine. If I want to escape, there are not many enemies who can stop me! "
Liu Changhe had no choice but to tell his daughter a white lie!
"Hmph!
I don't believe it!
If you want to leave, our family will leave together! "
"Child, you are becoming more and more disobedient!
Do you want me to kidnap you and take you away? "
This was the first time Liu Changhe yelled at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan's eyes were filled with tears. These were not tears of grievance. She knew that her father was in big trouble this time. Otherwise, he would not be so fierce to her and let her go!
"Yan 'er, listen to me. We will listen to your father. Let's go."
Liu Yan's mother knew her Liu Changhe too well. She also knew what kind of temper he had. In this situation of life and death, it was impossible for him to abandon his soldiers and run away!
"Changhe, take care of me. Yan 'er and I will wait for you!"
Under Liu Changhe's watchful gaze, Liu Yan's mother choked with sobs as she pulled Liu Yan. She picked up the bag she had packed and walked out of the mansion!
Liu Yan looked back at her father from time to time!
'Perhaps we will never see each other again!'
Liu Changhe calmed himself down and couldn't help but think of Li Mo!
"Little Mo!
Don't come back for a while!
Yan 'er will have to rely on you to take care of her! "
