Chapter 65: Defeat Them One by One

  (PS: The titles of the first two chapters were actually "誓死HAN卫", but somehow they became "扞卫" and can't be changed. It seems that Qidian recognizes this "扞卫" as a different character from the HAN in "旱涝之旱". Just wanted to clarify. Today's three updates, desperately seeking recommendation votes. Yesterday's recommendation votes were the lowest of the week, let's see if today's three chapters can bring them back up.)

  A group of horsemen, in the outskirts of Donglin Town, about fifteen or sixteen people.

  These people were obviously unfamiliar with the terrain, bumping into each other all over the place, and from time to time there was a commotion of horses' hooves getting stuck in the rice fields.

  "Fourth Master, this godforsaken place, let's not get lost, okay?" A member of the Xu family clan held up a torch and shone it forward, gazing out at the endless expanse of water-filled fields.

  "This is a flat and open plain, how can you go wrong?" Xǔ Sì Hǎi scolded.

  The young man curled his lip and didn't dare to answer, but in his heart he was muttering, this place is indeed flat, but which can be called a horse's flat land, just don't stumble before the horse.

  "Everyone, be careful. Don't get stuck in the mud." Xi Si Hai reminded, "According to the map provided by Guo Sheng, Qin's ancestral land should be just ahead."

  Xu Sihai's mouth was tough, but he was very regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have chosen this path at the beginning. At that time, he thought that choosing this suburban road would make it easier to escape, and even if Qin Shi's people became aware of it and rushed back, he chose this road, which was not the first to bear the brunt.

  The abacus is quite good, but he didn't think that the road conditions in this area are not suitable for horse racing. As a result, their progress speed was significantly affected.

  "I don't know, how's the progress of the tribe leaders' task? The tribe leader and Uncle Yue took action personally, Qinjiazhuang will definitely be easily broken. I must speed up, maybe they have already completed their task. My side can't fall behind!"

  Xu Sihai thought to himself and urged, "Everyone, let's add a bit more effort, we'll arrive soon. Whoever is lazy and holds back our progress on this journey will be the biggest sinner."

  Just then, a tribesman running behind the team came over panting and shouted: "Fourth Master, Little Xiao is gone."

  "Where did he go? He's gone?" Xu Sihai was puzzled. There were only a dozen or so people in the group, how could someone just disappear like that?

  "I...I don't know." The tribesman replied with embarrassment.

  "You don't know?" Xu Sihai's eyes widened. "This road is flat, and you actually don't know where he went? Then do you know when he went missing?"

  "This... I don't know either." The tribesman's head almost hung down to his crotch.

  "Good-for-nothing!" Xu Sihai cursed, jumping down from his horse, grumbling, "He must have fallen asleep in some ditch or gully, let's go back and look for him."

  Xiao Xiang is a young man with great promise in the Xu family. At this critical juncture, his family should give him extra protection.

  Everyone was a bit unhappy when they heard that they had to go back and look for it, but there was no choice, so they could only go back and look for it.

  They walked back and forth for a long time, but didn't see even a ghostly shadow.

  Xu Sihai wasn't a fool, and he vaguely sensed an uneasy feeling. He waved his hand and shouted: "Stop searching! Everyone stay alert, keep an eye on each other, and don't stray too far from your companions."

  Xu's group of people were shocked when they heard Xu Si Hai say this, and they vigilantly looked around in the darkness of the night, as if under the cover of night, a sinister spirit was lurking, hiding to take someone's life. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

  After walking for a while, someone suddenly shouted again: "A Le is gone."

  Again a lone horse, with no one on its back. All around, there is not a single person in sight, nor even any sign of human presence.

  No matter how much Xu Sihai interrogated, these people were still completely unaware of what had happened. How they disappeared, when they disappeared, no one knew anything.

  Xu Sihai's patience snapped, the whip in his hand swung wildly, cracking loudly as he bellowed: "Who is here making a racket? If you have the guts, come out and let's settle this with real swords!"

  No matter how loudly he shouted, the surroundings were still quiet, except for the sound of the night wind rustling through the rice and wheat, and the monotonous chirping of insects.

  "Coward! Coward!" Xǔ Sìhǎi muttered to himself, "Keep going forward, I don't believe it, can't even make a good show of it?"

  Finally, the road ahead became wider. A group of Xu family members galloped their horses wildly, as if there were really evil spirits chasing them from behind, each one rushing forward with their lives on the line.

  After sprinting with all one's might for about a minute, the terrain and map gradually matched up.

  "Halt." Xi Si Hai cracked his whip and picked up the map again to compare, it should be this place.

  Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something was off. In an instant, a chill ran down his spine and his body hair stood on end.

  His intuition told him something was off, but he didn't have the courage to turn around and look.

  But he had no choice but to turn back.

  This time, Xu Sihai almost fell off his horse.

  One, two, three, four...

  All the horses were safe and sound behind, not one was missing. But the people riding on them had vanished into thin air!

  It was as if all of a sudden these people vanished from this world without making a sound.

  Where is he?

  Xu Sihai's forehead began to sweat, and his eyes darted around, trying to catch some clues. He knew he was in trouble, and this trouble was quite big.

  With a flourish, he brandished his whip in the air and bellowed: "Who, who exactly did this? Are you human or ghost, show yourself! I, Xu Si Hai, am not afraid of you, unless you're a good man."

  But no matter what, the fear in his heart couldn't be covered up by a few harsh words.

  "You're not afraid? That's good."

  A cold and desolate voice sounded in front of Xu Sihai at some unknown time.

  Xu Sihai hastily turned his head back around, and in a flash of confusion, he found that there was an additional person standing before him.

  This man was tall and slender, with a handsome face, but he wasn't very old. His starry eyes seemed especially deep in the night sky, his hands clasped to his chest as he stared at Xu Si Hai like a dead man.

  Xu Sihai took a deep breath in and exclaimed: "Is it you?"

  "It's me."

  "You... how did you end up here?"

  "What are you doing here again?"

  This person was none other than Qin Wushuang, who had rushed over quickly and responded calmly. Qin Wushuang was familiar with the terrain and had hurried over without wasting much time. With a quick wit, he teased Xu Sihai a bit. One by one, like harvesting wheat, he took down all of Xu Sihai's followers.

  Xu Sihai was speechless with rage and roared: "What business is it of yours how I am here? You'll pay with your life, you little brat!"

  "Want to fight?" Qin Wusuo sneered and stretched out his hand, grabbing the horse whip. "Fighting is not allowed for Xu Sanli, let alone you."

  With a burst of energy, he pulled down Xu Si Hai from his horse and stepped on his chest. The whip wrapped around Xu Si Hai, tying him up like a rice dumpling.

  He threw himself onto the horse's back, leading the herd of horses, and galloped towards the direction of Qin Shi's fish pond.

  The Xus' clansmen, if even finding the Qins' ancestral fields is such a chore, then the location of the fish pond is even more remote. I'm afraid that group of people are still lost on their way.

  ……

  On the streets of Donglin Town, flames engulfed everything. The Xu family's procession had successfully set fire to all of the Qin family's shops, with flames shooting up into the sky.

  Just as he was about to go to the oil factory to set fire, he suddenly heard a large group of people and horses rushing from the Qin family's mansion.

  The Xus' group, led by a strong True Martial Second Stage cultivator, had already lost three-tenths of their will to fight when they saw Qin Lianshan lead the team in person. They hastily retreated and stopped fighting.

  Fortunately, Qin Lianshan had planned to put out the fire early on. Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, he hastily ordered: "Cut off the source of goods and stop the fire from burning. Let what has already been burned burn itself out, no need to go and rescue it, lest people get hurt!"

  As long as the Qin family's ancestral house was safe, Qin Lianshan was already relieved. The loss of the shop was something he could still bear. He dispatched people to keep an eye on the oil mill and soon received a report: "Clan leader, the oil mill is safe and has not been invaded."

  Qin Lian Shan nodded: "Good!"

  At this moment, Qin personally directed a group of subordinates to cut off the supply lines. The non-military personnel in the Qin clan were also organized and rushed to put out the fire.

  The Qin family had many people, and the Qin family had a good reputation. When they saw the Qin's shop on fire, the neighbors rushed to help with basins and buckets of water.

  The news of the Qin family's shop catching fire spread from house to house, instantly shocking the entire Donglin Town. People spontaneously poured out of their homes...

  Qin Lianshan looked at this scene, his eyes slightly moist.

  "Hurry, put out the fire, save me from the fire!"

  At this time, another group of people came running from the opposite street. This group was obviously well-trained and a hundred times stronger than ordinary civilians. They were from another humble family in Donglin Town - the Hu family, where Hu Zhiyan belonged.

  This is a signal, a very obvious signal.

  The Hu family acknowledges Qin's absolute status in Donglin Town and has decided to follow Qin's lead!

  United as one, people's strength is great; even a raging fire will eventually be extinguished.

  Qin Lianshan was moved to see this bustling scene, and he cupped his hands in all directions: "Everyone, great kindness doesn't need to be thanked. This kindness, Lianshan will remember. Another day, at Qin's village, I'll set up a banquet and invite all the neighbors to come and enjoy themselves!"

  "Roar!"

  "Long live the Qin family!"

  Above Donglin Town, a thunderous cheer erupted.

  "I don't know, what happened to Musou on the other side?" Qin Lianshan thought silently.
