Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"How...how did you get in?!"

Li Gui let out a scream as if he had seen a ghost, his obese body tumbling off the general's chair, scrambling backward on all fours.

"Help! Someone's broken into the camp! Help!"

Li Gui screamed at the top of his lungs, like a pig being slaughtered.

He kept shrinking back, trying to hide behind the huge bronze oven for roasting lamb.

"Stop shouting."

Lin Mo shook his head as he looked at Li Gui's comical appearance.

"Everyone outside is asleep."

"Sleeping...asleep?"

Li Gui was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of "asleep," and his chubby face instantly lost all color.

He then realized why, despite his shouts, there was still only deathly silence outside.

"General Lin... General Lin! No, Grandpa Lin! Spare me!"

Li Gui scrambled to hide behind a thick pillar, poked half his head out, and stammered.

"That was all a misunderstanding!"

"I was just joking with Wang the Cripple! Yes! Just kidding! I was actually on my way to find him a doctor!"

Lin Mo was so angry he laughed.

Stabbing someone in the heart with a knife and calling that a joke?

Are all the people from Tiebiguan this humorous?

Lin Mo was too lazy to waste any more words with him. With a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

"Don't come any closer!!"

Li Gui let out a desperate roar.

The next second, he felt a chill on his neck.

A blood-stained dagger had somehow pierced his neck.

Li Gui lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the familiar dagger.

Isn't that...

Was it the same gun he used to stab Wang Jin to death?

He tried to say something, but only a series of hoarse sounds came out of his throat as a large amount of blood gushed from his wounds and mouth.

The obese body swayed before finally collapsing heavily onto Wang Jin's still-warm corpse.

For a moment, the two brothers were neatly dressed.

Lin Mo casually flicked the blood off his dagger, not even glancing at the two corpses.

He walked around the room and found that there was nothing of value except wine and meat.

Finally, Lin Mo's gaze fell on the roasted lamb in the oven.

Hanging on top is a roasted hind leg, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil.

Yes, we can't waste this.

Lin Mo walked over and tore off a leg of lamb, then grabbed a burning piece of firewood from the stove next to him and tossed it onto the curtain beside him.

boom--

Flames erupted instantly, greedily devouring everything around them.

Lin Mo walked out of the house.

A night breeze carried a faint smell of blood.

Dozens of corpses lay scattered throughout the camp.

Even the personal guard who had just run out to write a letter of commendation to Li Gui fell into a pool of blood not far away.

The entire camp was quietly emptied in the short time Lin Mo had infiltrated.

……

After leaving the camp, Lin Mo strolled leisurely along the streets of Tiebi Pass.

Behind them, flames soared into the sky, turning half the night sky orange-red.

The entire street was deserted, with only the occasional bark of a dog coming from some corner.

"Squeak—"

The wooden door of a house next door was quietly pushed open a crack.

An eye peered out through the crack in the door.

When he saw the man in black on the street, gnawing on a lamb leg and exuding an aura of unapproachability, his eyes widened instantly.

"Bang!"

The wooden door was slammed shut, and the sound of the bolt being pulled down could be heard.

Lin Mo ignored all of this.

These civilians, who had been persecuted by Wu Zhong and his men for years, were already terrified.

He ate a lamb leg as he walked toward the gate of Tiebiguan.

Suddenly, the concentric mirror at her waist glowed slightly, and Qin Ruxue's urgent voice came through.

"Lin Mo? How's things going on your end?"

The voice in the mirror was cold and tinged with worry.

"Don't worry, everything's taken care of."

Lin Mo took a bite of mutton and answered vaguely.

"The map of the secret passage is real, and I have already cleared out the guards inside Iron Wall Pass."

"Bring our troops over here, my husband, I'll go open the city gate for you right away."

"……good."

The voice in the mirror visibly relaxed and then cut off the connection.

Lin Mo put away the Heart-Sharing Mirror and quickened his pace toward the heavy city gate of Iron Wall Pass.

But as he passed through a dark alley, he suddenly stopped.

A small head peeked out from the shadows at the alley entrance.

A pair of big, dark eyes were staring at him without blinking.

No, to be precise, it was staring at the roasted lamb leg in his hand.

It was a little girl of about six or seven years old, wearing old clothes covered in patches.

Her face was quite pretty and delicate, but it was sallow and yellowish, clearly a result of long-term malnutrition.

Lin Mo looked at her staring eyes and the unconscious way she swallowed, and immediately understood.

"come over."

He waved to the little girl.

The little girl was startled and, like a frightened deer, quickly pulled her head back.

But after a few seconds, he couldn't help but peek out again, his eyes still fixed on the lamb leg.

Lin Mo shook his head, looked at the roasted lamb leg in his hand that he had only taken a few bites of, and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he simply swung his arm and tossed the lamb leg over.

"I'm full. If you don't mind that I took a bite, you can have it."

The lamb leg flew through the air in a perfect arc, landing squarely in the little girl's arms.

"ah!"

The little girl gasped in surprise at this unexpected windfall, clutching the warm lamb leg, completely bewildered.

Lin Mo said no more and turned to continue walking towards the city gate.

Meanwhile, the little girl...

Looking at the lamb leg in his arms, which was thicker than his own arm, the rich aroma of meat filled his nose, and he couldn't stop drooling.

She couldn't remember the last time she had seen meat.

So Zhang Kao opened his little mouth, ready to take a big bite.

But just then...

Suddenly, a fair hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side and snatched the lamb leg away.

"mother!"

Upon recognizing the person who had stolen her belongings, the little girl gasped in surprise.

"Mother, give it back to me! It's mine!"

The little girl was so anxious that tears were almost in her eyes, and she reached out to try and snatch it back.

The woman who stole the lamb leg was wearing tattered, baggy clothes.

The woman was completely covered by this clothing, making it impossible to see her figure.

But judging from her exposed wrists and neck, her skin was unusually fair.

However, on that face that should have been beautiful, a hideous scar ran from her forehead to her chin, completely ruining all the beauty.

Seeing her daughter trying to grab it, the woman quickly held the lamb leg high.

"Sweetie, you can't eat that!"

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.

"How many times have I told you not to take things from strangers!"

"Especially here at Iron Wall Pass, have you forgotten how wicked people can be?"

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to throw the roasted lamb leg into the stinking ditch beside her.

"No! Mother!"

Upon seeing this, the little girl hugged her mother's leg tightly, looked up at her pitifully with her eyes already brimming with tears.

The woman stopped moving.

She looked into her daughter's eyes, which were full of longing and grievance.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally softened.

"well……"

She sighed, squatted down, and patted her daughter's head.

"How about this? Let's take it back first and give some to our dog, Dahuang, at home."

"If Dahuang is fine after eating it, Mom will give you more, okay?"

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

"Mmm! Give it to Big Yellow! Let's go, let's go!"

She nodded vigorously, grabbed her mother's hand, and eagerly walked deeper into the alley.
