Chapter 55 – Border
That said, Mu Xiaofeng rushed to the front of the caravan and saw that the caravan’s guards were already a bit exhausted from the bandits’ attacks. At this time, one of the guards shouted towards the bandits, “Our caravan is escorting just ordinary people, we don’t have any money to give you, so please let us go.”
The guard’s shouting did not make the bandits retreat, but rather made them surround tighter, and one of them replied to the guard, “Who believes it! It’s fine if you’re ordinary people, the men will give me back to the mountain fortress as slaves, and the women will be taken back to our big brother to play with.” This bandit obviously won’t let go of these people in front of him no matter what, which makes Mu Xiaofeng’s heart explode with anger when he hears it.
Mu Xiaofeng rushed to the front of the bandit with a single arrow step, a heavy sword straddling the center of the bandit and the caravan. At this time, Chen Jianba also caught up and stood with Mu Xiaofeng.
One of the bandits looked at Mu Xiaofeng as a child, so he disdained him and yelled, “Nosy little brat from there.” With that, he rushed towards Mu Xiaofeng with his machete. Only to see Mu Xiaofeng force a fight, this Mu Xiaofeng’s strength is not the average child, he will directly the bandit shocked flying out.
At this time the bandits were stunned by Mu Xiaofeng the child, they did not expect Mu Xiaofeng to have such strength, but they did not intend to retreat, instead they swarmed up, intending to defeat Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba together. But they were no match for Mu Xiaofeng’s duo, one by one they were beaten up and then they all fled.
Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba saved the convoy and then went to check on the injuries of the convoy’s people.
At this time, Blood Spirit Zifeng arrived here with the others as well, and when Qiao Zi saw that there were a lot of injured people, she got off the car and gave these injured people herbs to recover.
At this time, a guard walked up to Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba and thanked them, Chen Jianba asked this person curiously at this time, “Man, where are you guys going?”
This guard shook his head and revealed a distressed look before replying, “We are farmers near the King’s Capital, we are now planning to go over the King’s Mountain Range to live somewhere else.”
When Mu Xiaofeng heard this guard say this, he found it strange. Although the king’s capital was prosperous, most of the villages near the king’s capital were run down and depressed, so it was reasonable to say that it was normal for them to want to leave their villages.
“Is life hard near the royal capital? I see that it’s quite prosperous inside the king’s capital city!” Mu Xiaofeng asked this guard after him, he wanted to know more about the situation near this king’s capital.
“We can barely get by, but we were squeezed by those bureaucrats and couldn’t take it anymore, that’s why we decided to move away. It’s not good to move away, it’s easy to run into robbers on the road, nine out of ten are dead, those who are afraid of death don’t want to move away, they still stay near the royal capital.”
It seems that although the king’s capital is prosperous, the people near the king’s capital are not doing well, Mu Xiaofeng decided that one day when he returns to the king’s capital, he must bring the king out to see the hardworking people near the king’s capital.
Mu Xiaofeng and his group were considered to have finished helping this caravan, the two groups of people traveling for a while were going to separate, the caravan people were going to the southwest, because the southwest was the territory of the Unified Kingdom. While Mu Xiaofeng and his group will continue to the west, over the King’s Mountain Range they will soon be able to reach the border between the Unified Kingdom and the Beast Race.
This group of people walked until it was dark, and finally they arrived at the border of the Jun Kingdom, because they were leaving the Jun Kingdom as an envoy, so Mu Xiaofeng and his group stayed in a military camp at the border. This border camp was guarded by a great general of the Jun Kingdom, and it was said that this great general had been stationed at this border for more than twenty years, and had never returned home.
When Mu Xiaofeng and his group arrived at the border’s military camp, the first thing they had to do was to pay their respects to this great general. Blood Spirit Zifeng led Mu Xiaofeng and the others, then brought their paperwork and walked into the great general’s tent.
The great general sat behind a curtain, reviewing the paperwork, and then shouted towards Mu Xiaofeng and his party, “Is this Mu Xiaofeng among you from the Twin Lives Town in the northeast of the Unified State?”
As soon as Mu Xiaofeng heard that this great general was talking about himself, after all, the Mu family is only famous in the northeast of the Unified Kingdom, and is not considered to be a great family in the whole country, he was curious as to how this general knew about the Mu family.
Mu Xiaofeng then walked up and replied, “General uncle is right, I am Mu Xiaofeng, from Twin Life Town.”
This general laughed after hearing Mu Xiaofeng’s reply, then walked out of the curtain and looked at Mu Xiaofeng. Mu Xiaofeng was shocked after seeing this person, because this person looked too much like Mu Xiaofeng’s father, Mu Taigu, and this person should be Mu Taisu – Mu Xiaofeng’s uncle – that Mu Taigu had mentioned to Mu Xiaofeng before.
When Mu Xiaofeng saw Mu Taisu, he immediately knelt down, worshipped and worshipped again, and then said, “I can’t believe that the great general guarding the border is my uncle, the first time I saw my uncle I thought that it was my father who had come.”
Mu Taisu also knew that Mu Xiaofeng was his nephew, it’s just that he never went back to see Mu Xiaofeng, he only heard about all the things about Mu Xiaofeng in his letters. Seeing his nephew for the first time today, Mu Taisu was also excited and shed tears, all the time asking about the situation at home.
The two people chatting about family matters for a while, Mu Taisu also arranged for other people to eat and stay, but he left Mu Xiaofeng by his side, stayed in his own tent, it seems that this uncle and nephew two people want to chat for a night.
Mu Xiaofeng stayed in his tent, which made Zhang Wenyu feel bored. Zhang Wenyu was able to chat with Mu Xiaofeng for a few minutes, and now that Mu Xiaofeng was gone, Zhang Wenyu was just wandering around in the barracks. The barracks Zhang Wenyu was in belonged to the rest area, which was the resting place for passing messengers or soldiers changing guards, and Zhang Wenyu couldn’t go to any other places.
Just as Zhang Wenyu was strolling around, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Wenyu, startling Zhang Wenyu and then hurriedly retreated several steps. Zhang Wenyu carefully observed the person in front of him, and he realized that he knew this person, the person in front of him was the uncle that Mu Xiaofeng had also encountered earlier.
Zhang Wenyu didn’t feel any killing aura from this uncle, so he relaxed, then opened his mouth and asked, “Aren’t you the teacher who was at the cabin? Why are you here?” This uncle had told Mu Xiaofeng that he would not harm Zhang Wenyu, so it seemed that he must have something to tell Zhang Wenyu this time he came.
When this uncle saw Zhang Wenyu, he first greeted him with an arch of his hand and then spread out his hands to show that he meant no harm as he slowly told Zhang Wenyu, “Zhang Wenyu, now you are about to enter, the territory of the Beast Race. You must be extremely careful once you enter the territory of the Beast Clan, as soon as you enter the territory of the Beast Clan, you must hurry to contact the clansmen of the Wolf Clan, they will protect you.”
Zhang Wenyu felt a bit puzzled when he heard the uncle say this, as Zhang Wenyu had no idea why he was in danger, and he also had no idea where the clansmen of the Wolf Clan were.
Zhang Wen Yu then asked this uncle, “Teacher, why am I in danger? I just feel that I’m so excited that I can hardly sleep.”
The uncle looked at Zhang Wenyu, then smiled faintly, the next words of the uncle made Zhang Wenyu’s entire body go crazy, “Then let me tell you an even more exciting news, your father is in the territory of the Beast Clan.” After saying that, the uncle disappeared in a flash and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only Zhang Wenyu who was dazed in place.
Zhang Wenyu had never known where his father had gone since he was a child, and he had always lived with his mom. But his mom never complained about his father abandoning him, and always told Zhang Wenyu that his father was a very great man.
As a result, Zhang Wenyu has always had mixed feelings towards his father, one is that he is very much in awe of his father, and the other is that he also harbors a trace of resentment because he has not seen his father for many years.
However, Zhang Wenyu was very excited to learn that his father was in the Beast Clan’s territory, and he immediately returned to his tent, and by this time, Mu Xiaofeng had already returned to his tent, and he should have come back to prepare for his rest.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at Zhang Wenyu’s suppressed smile at the corner of his mouth, so he laughed and asked, “I’ve never seen you so happy, honestly explain what good things you picked up.”
This Wenyu then told Mu Xiaofeng everything that had happened before one by one, after Mu Xiaofeng heard Zhang Wenyu, she fell into a deep thought, and then said in surprise: “Zhang Wenyu, your father wouldn’t be an orc, right? But if your father is really an orc, then the fact that you fall into a frenzy at times can be explained.”
Zhang Wenyu also thought carefully, according to what Mu Xiaofeng said, Zhang Wenyu’s father was most likely a beastman, but this in turn made it a little difficult for Zhang Wenyu to accept, after all, he had never considered his father to be a beastman either.
Zhang Wenyu and Mu Xiaofeng did not explore this topic in depth, after all, before meeting Zhang Wenyu’s father, it was pointless to discuss this issue. The two chatted for a while before they both closed their eyes and went to sleep, it seemed that rushing around for a day had also made them tired.
The two slept for an unknown amount of time before they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside and then the noise of people woke up Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu. After the two people climbed up, they went out of the tent to take a look, there were many injured people outside this tent, but these people all looked like they were just civilians, and seemed to have fled from somewhere.
Mu Xiaofeng took a closer look, and saw the guard in the crowd who had saved him before, so he went up to the guard and asked him about the situation. This guard told Mu Xiaofeng as he cried, “The Beast Race in the southwest area suddenly attacked, we had no choice but to run this way, and on the way we ran into a group of bandits, and I’m the only one left from our original caravan who died.”
