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

"Then let's find that damned mother Gu and kill it, won't that solve everything!"

Meng Hu's bull-like eyes were bloodshot.

"Where is it? Where is it hidden?"

"I'll take some men right now, drag it out, and chop it into mincemeat!"

Bai Zhi just shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

She slumped into Liu Yiyi's arms, her voice broken and incoherent.

"It's no use... I can't find it..."

"The Gu Master is most skilled at concealment and self-preservation, and will never reveal himself easily."

"The Gu Master is most skilled at concealment. With an army of 400,000, a sea of ​​people... he can control everything from any corner he hides in..."

For a moment, the city wall fell into a deathly silence.

Only the wind howled in my ears, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

An enemy lurking in the shadows controls an endless, fearless army.

How do we fight this battle?

Qin Ruxue remained silent.

Her entire focus was on that lonely cliff in the distance.

There, another burst of dazzling golden light suddenly exploded, as if a small sun had suddenly risen on the cliff.

She knew that Lin Mo had once again repelled those monsters.

But what's the use?

As the golden light faded, the severed limbs that had been blasted off the cliff twisted and turned once more, coalescing into a black torrent that frantically climbed toward the top of the cliff.

again and again.

Endless.

No matter how strong Lin Mo's power is, it is ultimately limited.

But those monsters are endless.

Qin Ruxue's body trembled slightly.

She subconsciously raised her hand and gently pressed it on her flat stomach.

There, it seemed to sense its mother's unease and stirred slightly.

Her husband, the father of her children, was there, his life slowly being drained away.

No.

Can't wait any longer.

"Open the city gates!"

Qin Ruxue turned around abruptly, her voice cold and sharp, piercing everyone's ears.

Meng Hu was stunned.

"General Qin, you mustn't!"

"Xia Yuan's 400,000-strong army is lurking outside! If we rush out now, what if they take the opportunity to attack the city..."

"I said, open the city gates!"

Qin Ruxue interrupted Meng Hu, her hand still pressed on her lower abdomen, her knuckles white from clenching.

"I don't care about Xia Yuan's army, nor do I care about any traps!"

"All I know is that my husband and my sister are on the cliff, and I can't just watch them be worn down to death by those ghostly things!"

After saying that, Qin Ruxue turned and left without looking at anyone else.

Her footsteps were hurried, and the armor plates of her military uniform made a crisp clanging sound with her movements.

She wanted to leave the city.

She was going to support him.

Even if it means death.

Meng Hu stood there, his facial muscles twitching violently.

He watched Qin Ruxue's resolute back, then turned to look down at the cliff below, at the monsters that were climbing up again in dense numbers.

Lin Mo's always smiling face flashed through my mind.

"Damn it!"

Meng Hu gritted his teeth and drew his sword from his waist.

"All Mountain Shaking Army soldiers, listen to my command!"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, using all the strength he had.

"All troops assemble! Move out of the city!"

"We swear to...rescue our lord!!"

Meng Hu's roar was like a thunderclap, exploding in the sky above Blackwater Pass.

All the soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Army who heard the order, both on and off the city wall, were stunned at first, and then a surge of passion welled up in their chests.

"yes!"

"We swear to rescue our lord at all costs!!"

The response was like a thunderclap and a tsunami, resounding through the sky.

Rumbling--

The heavy gates of Heishui Pass, as heavy as mountains, creaked and slowly opened inward as countless winches turned.

Behind the city gate stood a dense, dark mass of Xuanjia Army soldiers and Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, all fully armed and ready for battle.

A forest of iron armor and long spears.

Behind them were even more soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Army. Although they were not as well-equipped as the former, their eyes burned with the same flame of determination to die.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The sound of countless hooves striking the ground converged into a torrent, causing the entire Blackwater Pass to tremble.

This huge commotion finally alerted a lazy, idle young master in the city.

……

In the back garden of a mansion.

"Kill it! Big Flower! Bite it! Yes! Bite its leg!"

Xia Man'er was squatting on the ground, watching with great interest as two crickets fought inside the earthenware jar.

She has been at Heishuiguan for several days now.

I originally wanted to go find Brother Lin Mo as soon as possible.

When they arrived, they discovered that Brother Lin Mo and that sister named Gu Ling'er had already secretly slipped out of the city with some kind of "Bombing Gang".

She tried to chase after her, but Qin Ruxue, with her icy expression, forcibly stopped her.

Later, the smiling older sister came to coax her again, saying that when a husband goes to war, a wife should stay at home and wait obediently.

If she goes out now and causes trouble, distracting her husband, what if Lin Mo gets angry and comes back to divorce her?

Upon hearing the words "divorce," Xia Man'er immediately shook her head vigorously.

That won't work!

She finally managed to consummate her marriage with Brother Lin Mo, how could she be returned to him!

So, although Xia Man'er was extremely worried, she could only helplessly stay in Heishui Pass and wait for news.

There's nothing fun to do at Heishui Pass, I'm getting so bored.

She did nothing all day but sunbathe on the roof or fight crickets in the garden.

Just as her "Big Flower General" was about to achieve a decisive victory, the entire ground suddenly shook violently, and the teacups on the table jumped up.

"oops!"

The earthenware jar in Xia Man'er's hand tilted, and the two crickets took the opportunity to escape.

"Who is it?! How annoying!"

She angrily jumped up from the ground and scrambled up the big tree next to her.

In the direction of the city gate, countless troops were gathering, a dark mass, preparing to leave the city.

"Huh? Something big has happened!"

Xia Man'er's eyes lit up instantly.

She jumped down from the tree in a flash, dusted off her hands, and ran towards the city gate.

"Grandpa Wen! Hurry up and follow! Let's go see what's going on!"

"Oh dear! My princess! My dear grandmother! Please slow down!"

Behind them, Wenruo's breathless wails could be heard.

Xia Man'er, like a nimble little deer, quickly ran to the vicinity of the city gate.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi was helping Bai Zhi, whose face was as pale as paper, as they walked down from the city wall.

"Sister Liu!"

Xia Man'er ran over, grabbed Liu Yiyi's sleeve, and looked up at her with her eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

"What's wrong? Is Brother Lin Mo coming back?"

Looking at Xia Man'er's innocent face, Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted down.

"Man'er...something has happened."

"There are Gu masters from the southern border causing trouble in Xia Yuan's army."

"My husband and fourth sister... are trapped on that cliff outside the city, it's very dangerous."

"Gu magic from the Southern Frontier? What kind of Gu magic?"

Xia Man'er's smile slowly disappeared.

She looked in the direction Liu Yiyi was pointing.

Outside the wide-open city gates, in the distance, stood a cliff shrouded in a dark shadow.

When she saw the densely packed "people" climbing the cliff, her bright eyes suddenly narrowed.

Xia Man'er stared blankly, unconsciously uttering a name.

"Corpse...puppet...gu?"
