I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 335: Li Mu returns and is welcomed by the armed men.

Outside Dongcheng.

A tall figure, reflecting the rising sun, walked slowly across the endless prairie.

He was covered in blood, his clothes were disheveled, and there were traces of knife and axe cuts everywhere from head to toe.

His face was tired and covered in blood, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

"Look, what is that?"

"So long? Could it be a big snake?"

"Quick, report to the general, there is... there is a snake demon!"

"What are you yelling about? He was just dazed for a moment! Is he a human being?"

"???"

"people?"

On the top of the city wall, some soldiers had already spotted the figure.

The confused team leader stood up, took a quick look, and took out the steel knife from his waist, shouting:

"alert!"

"General!"

"General!"

"General Xiao Wei!"

At this time, a sound of soldiers saluting came from behind.

Hearing the noise, I knew the person coming must be Wei Pingran.

"Snake demon?"

Wei Pingran frowned and glanced at the soldiers with a very ugly expression.

"General, these guys are still asleep, where did the snake demon come from? Someone must be dragging a bunch of unknown things towards the city gate."

The team leader hurriedly came up to Wei Pingran and spoke loudly.

Hearing this, Wei Pingran nodded, walked to the edge of the tower, squinted his eyes and looked over, his face suddenly turned livid.

"The... prince!"

"Quick! Open the city gate!" Wei Pingran turned around and shouted, and then he saw the soldiers who were enthusiastically stringing the crossbows, and he kicked each of them, cursing as he kicked.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you doing!"

"Go and report to the prince quickly!" After saying this, he ran down the city wall.

However, at this time, the city gate was surrounded by people.

They were all filled with righteous indignation, holding knives, guns, sticks, pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, rolling pins...all kinds of weapons.

Wei Pingran glanced at the team leader beside him and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on?"

The team leader at the side also looked confused. At this time, a 70-year-old man stood up from the crowd, holding up a cane in his hand and shouting:

"General Xiao Wei, you can't let us hide anymore. We didn't know before, but we will go wherever the prince tells us to go."

"But the Ran slaves have come to the city. This is our home. I am an old man who has reached the third level of physical training. This crutch can also help me with some dog legs."

"Yes! We have to defend our homeland too!"

"Defend our homeland!"

For a moment, the crowd was angry and their eyes turned red as they watched the city gate slowly open.

Wei Pingran took a deep breath and immediately realized that now was not the time to be moved. He quickly whispered to the team leader beside him:

"Explain clearly... evacuate the crowd!"

After saying that, his figure flashed and he went out of the city.

A few sharp-eyed people were about to rush out of the city, but the captain quickly waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to stop the people.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! The Rannu people have retreated. There is no enemy attack! No enemy attack! Everyone... everyone go back!"

After some explanation, no one was willing to go out of the city to find out what was going on.

The people of Donglai Pass are generally reasonable.

They are here to help defend the city, so there will be no conflict with the defenders.

But they still gathered at the city gate and refused to leave.

No one knew how the news spread, but more and more people rushed to the East City Gate.

At first, there were only young and strong men, but gradually, even those ladies who usually stayed at home, lifted their skirts and rushed to the "battlefield".

It’s not that they don’t want to ride in a sedan or a car, it’s that the transportation in East City... doesn’t allow it.

...

Li Mu naturally had no idea about the situation outside the city gate.

If I knew, I would definitely make it worse.

This miserable state of his body was naturally caused by him.

Although it was a fierce battle last night, even a physical fight could not produce such a scene.

However, by the time Li Mu smashed the head of the 2,979th man, he was almost on the verge of exhaustion.

Afterwards, he exhausted his true energy eleven times in a row, and then replenished it with training, and only then was he able to deal with those Ran Nu soldiers.

Li Mu suddenly discovered that the unparalleled mowing that he had originally envisioned was totally unfeasible.

Especially the combat power displayed by internal martial artists on the battlefield is very weak, and the lethality of sword energy is really limited.

The opponents will not stand in a line and let you string them together.

I finally understood why most of the soldiers in the army are outsiders.

Of course, there is an exception, which is the Shuolei in the hands of King Yan.

Although the lethality has been weakened, the attack range has been greatly expanded, making it an unparalleled weapon.

Li Mu felt a little regretful. Why didn't he borrow Shuolei first before chasing Zhatu?

"This sacrifice is a bit big, and I don't know if the old man can agree to it... At least, giving a vaccination shouldn't be a problem."

Li Mu certainly didn't do this for no reason.

Although he had saved the King of Yan before, Li Mu felt that it was too easy.

Last night, the Ran slaves attacked the city, and Li Mu missed the opportunity. On the one hand, he felt guilty, and on the other hand...it was naturally Yin Huanping's business.

This matter will have to be made clear to King Yan sooner or later.

He looked at the Zhatu on his shoulder and the twenty or so sets of Xingwei armor tied together with cloth strips behind him.

Li Mu was secretly happy.

With such great contributions, it’s not too much to ask for a wife from you…

Li Mu walked with his head down, thinking about how he could give some hints unintentionally.

At this time, there was a noisy sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. Looking up, the person coming was Wei Pingran.

"Sir!"

"This kid has a future!"

A hint of joy flashed in Li Mu's eyes.

Although this place is not far from Donglai Pass, at Li Mu's current speed, it will take at least half an hour to walk back.

If I run back...

Doesn't it seem that Li Mu had an easy trip?

"General Wei..."

Li Mu opened his mouth and pretended to be exhausted.

Wei Pingran jumped off his horse when he was still several feet away from Li Mu.

Then he slid to his knees and came directly in front of Li Mu.

"Oh my god! You have this unique skill!"

Li Mu was stunned and couldn't say anything for a long time about Wei Pingran's action.

But this expression is very appropriate for the situation.

Wei Pingran glanced at the Zhatu on Li Mu's shoulder and the Xingwei armor tied together behind him. His eyes suddenly turned red and he said in grief and anger:

"I am incompetent and I let the prince take risks!"

Originally, the task of guarding and interrogating Zatu was his.

"General Wei, what's going on in the city?"

"Don't worry, my lord. All the Ran slaves in the city have been wiped out!"

Wei Pingran clasped his hands and bowed, his tone very respectful, and ordered someone to take the Zatu and armor, and said,

"Please mount your horse, my lord. I will take you back right away."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and calmly poured all the true energy in his sea of ​​​​qi into Xun Meng.

My body couldn't take it anymore and I collapsed.

"General Wei, there are some armors thirty miles southwest of here. Please take some people to retrieve them."

Hearing this, Wei Pingran once again looked at the twenty or so sets of armor and clasped his fists, saying:

"The last general takes orders."

The expression on his face became more respectful, and he thought to himself that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was facing was obviously far more than this.

I’m afraid... there must be as many as fifty or even hundreds!
