Cold dew silent night desire diaphragm, peregrine is uncertain wind cold. The life loathsome painting drum tower head anxious, does not let the conscription person dream still.

The autumn light, the moon curved, no one looked at the moon. The places where the horses of the Ming Dynasty thought of each other were like a thousand mountains and ten thousand mountains.

Yongping, on the third day of the ninth month.

The waters of the Peacock River were as clear and cold as a mirror. They circled around the Peacock Manor and quietly flowed towards the salt lake. A wisp of the setting sun, like blood spreading in the water, rippled along with the waves.

The quiet river silently told of the bloody scenes it had witnessed in the vast Western Regions. Until the river had dried up and the oasis had turned into a desert, few people could understand the old stories and legends it wanted to talk about.

On the riverbank, there was a row of unknown giant trees. Their leaves were bright red like fire, and the flames of the Peacock Plaza were blazing brightly. The grass on the ground was slightly yellow, and when a cold wind blew, it shivered. A tall black horse was leisurely walking on the grass, occasionally turning its head to glance at the two red-clothed men.

The two of them had fought for a day and a night, and the fire at the Peacock Plaza had burned for a day and a night. At this point, no matter how strong they were, they would be exhausted. A group of vultures had been circling the plains since a long time ago, as if smelling death.

A drop of bright red blood dripped from a person's sleeves onto the yellowed grass, then scattered away like a plum blossom. It wasn't that he was wearing red, but his robe had already been dyed red with blood, making it impossible to distinguish its original color.

”Chen Mu, your martial arts skills are not as good as mine. If you continue to persevere like this, your blood will run dry.” The person who spoke was as thin as a twig, his face sallow. He deliberately suppressed his voice to save some energy, so his voice was slightly hoarse.

The man called Chen Mu had a thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, he looked very fierce, his figure was much bigger than the one who just spoke, but the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and in last night's battle, he had already killed dozens of elites, but there were so many of us, and he himself was hit by five swords. Although he had the protection of a treasure, but by that time, he was already like a spent soldier, unable to use any powerful sword techniques, ”Yu Yan, why do you have to kill them all? It's already been so long, but you still won't let me off! ” As he spoke, Chen Mu's sword could no longer be held in his hands. He quickly thrust it into the grass and tried to support himself so that he would not fall down.

He still could not fall down because his wife had not gone far. It did not matter if he died, but the fetus in her womb had to be kept alive. Chunyu Yan was very vicious. He wouldn't have shown mercy just because he was pregnant. Otherwise, with so many people in the Peacock Plaza, he wouldn't have not let a single dog go.

Just last night, Chunyu Yan had led a group of officials disguised as mounted bandits to wash the Peacock Plaza in blood. The manor lord was hung upside down on the mast and lit up by the skylight, and the manor lord's wife had her legs chopped off and died of blood loss. Several sixteen or seventeen year old ladies of the manor were ruined, and some had even had their stomachs cut open, their hearts cut off, and their skin skinned alive because of resistance.

How could Chen Mubai have imagined that a warrior from the Eastern Lands, a follower of Master Fu Yi, who also knew the righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom of Confucianism, would turn them into fierce wolves in the Western Regions?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt pained. He could not help but shout out, ”What crime do the people of the Peacock Plaza commit? In order to find me, you killed them all. Lord Fu told us to go to the Great Yue State, but he didn't tell us to kill any innocent people here! ”
