An hour later, Sima Yan and Hu Changfeng finally sat in the carriage that Dugu's family was temporarily prepared, left Lingyan County, and rushed to the southwest. Through a brief contact, Sima Yan finally understood the source of the sound of beating gongs and drums just now, but it was Dugu Feng's elder brother, Dugu Xiong, the eldest son of the Dugu family, who was married.

Logically speaking, as one of the nine major families, the Dugu family had a wedding, and the rest of the families should have sent people to congratulate. Even if there was no congratulation, the gift would definitely be delivered. However, it may be because the Sima family was destroyed, the other families either turned to the great master, or were silent and trembling, and did not even dare to breathe, let alone sent people to the Dugu family to congratulate.

Fortunately, the Dugu family was as famous as it was, and they didn't care about the attitudes of these families at all, and they even just celebrated within their own family. But just as the marriage ceremony ended, the head of the Dugu family received a message from the secret envoy, and the army of Qi came over.

As the nine major families, the Dugu family had their ancestors fought the world with the first Emperor Changping, and the family was located in Lingyan County, the southern gate of Changping. Logically speaking, even if the Dugu family could not defeat it, they had to report this matter to Emperor Changping as soon as possible.

But the result was just the opposite. The head of the Dugu family laughed to the sky when he heard the invasion of Qi. Then he immediately sent an order to let the whole family move within an hour, and even those who could not be moved for a short period of time would be destroyed on the spot. If he did not look at the Dugu family's face, anyone would think that the Dugu family was fleeing.

Sima Yan was a little suspicious at this time. All this was too abnormal. No matter how indifferent the Dugu family was to fame and fortune, they shouldn't have shown this way when the country was in crisis. No matter how they looked, they felt that he was in a relationship with Qi State.

With the same thoughts, Hu Changfeng was stabbing Sima Yan in the arm and whispered: "Is the Dugu family going to Qi State? Are we..."

Sima Yan shook his head. With their current state, not to mention living in the chaos, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, if no one takes care of him, he would probably die. Even if the Dugu family really planned to surrender to Qi, they had no choice but to follow. What's more, he did not have the sincere feelings for Changping Country, and even had some hatred for him.

"There is no more than death in Emperor Changping. This country is not enough! My father fought for the country, but in the end he was plotted by Rong Feng. The loyal souls of the Sima family were buried in a foreign land. Humph, if such a ruthless monarch does not destroy the country, it will be that the heavens have no eyes!" Thinking of this, Sima Yan felt a little angry and said in a low voice.

As the carriage swayed and bumped all the way, Sima Yan and Hu Changfeng chatted and walked all the way for another day. When the bonfire rose at night, Sima Yan sat by the bonfire with the help of Dugu's servants.

Although it took a short time to come to Dugu's family, Sima Yan had never seen the head of the Dugu family, Dugu Feng's father Dugu Li. Generally, the housekeeper Dugu Jue was the one who was Dugu Feng, and Sima Yan had never met many times. However, the people sitting around the bonfire tonight seemed to be quite complete.

Sima Yan naturally saw Dugu Feng in plain clothes and a cold face at first glance. Next to Dugu Feng was a young man in his twenties. The young man seemed to be weak and his breath was weak, and he seemed to be injured. Next to the young man was a middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Dugu Xiong. At this time, Butler Cao was talking to him in a low voice. It should be the Dugu Li, who rarely showed up.

"Sima Yan has seen Dugu Shiyi, thank you for your kindness to save your life!" Sima Yan naturally would not be negligent at this time. As soon as he sat down, he immediately put his fists on Dugu Li and bowed.

Duguli turned around and looked at Sima Yan, nodded slightly, showed a smile, and said softly: "Sima Shiwei nephew, you are polite. Although I am negligent in martial arts, I still have letters with Lingzun Sima Ao from time to time, and they are quite friendly. Now your Sima family has been framed by a traitor. It's a pity that I am the Dugu family is weak and unable to help. Please don't blame me..."

After hearing Duguli's words, a trace of anger suddenly flashed through Sima Yan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi, but this matter was done by the dog thief Rong Feng, and there were also Black Nether Guards, Golden Wolf Guards, Ning Family, and Hou Family colluded. It was just that my Sima family was full of loyalty and brave men, but in the end he died at the hands of his own people. Uncle Shi..." As he said that, Sima Yan suddenly burst into tears and fell to the ground.

Duguli sighed when he saw this, stepped forward and helped Sima Yan up, patted him gently on the back, and comforted him: "My nephew has been sad. Since ancient times, birds have been filled with good bows, foxes and rabbits have died and dogs have been cooked, and the enemy country has destroyed counselors have died. In the eyes of the emperor, these are just a matter of interests. There is no way to forget wealth and honor..."

However, before Dugu Li finished speaking, several figures flew towards this side and smashed straight onto the bonfire. He screamed and stopped moving. An old voice came: "Hahaha... It would be worthwhile to have such awareness for the Dugu family to have such a sense of enlightenment. But it's a pity that you just need to take in the sons of the traitor, and your family has no need to exist!"

Dugu Li naturally knew who the voice was. Even Sima Yan, who was slumped on the ground, knew it very well. He turned his head and glared at him in an instant, shouting: "Rong Feng Dog Thief, your grandfather is here. If you want to kill him, you will be cut, and you have nothing to do with the Dugu family!"

However, as soon as Sima Yan's words fell, a wind blade broke through the air and instantly landed on Sima Yan's chest, causing him to fly backwards with a "boom" and landed on the side of the carriage. His chest was suddenly covered in blood, and a wound several inches wide was gushing outwards.

Several figures flashed and appeared by the bonfire just now. The leader was wearing a white Taoist robe, with a fairy-looking appearance and a great master Rong Feng. Behind him were four old men, one by one, each of them was introverted and looked comparable to Xu Hai. At this time, he was looking at Duguli with a cold face.

However, before the great master could speak, as the sound of war horses neighed from the ground, a riot immediately came from the outer periphery of the Dugu family. Sima Yan looked up and his eyes were covered with bloodshot. It was the cavalry brigade of the Black Underworld Guard. The leader was Guo Jiang in black robe and black armor. Thousands of cavalry instantly surrounded the camp where the Dugu family was located.

Rong Feng glanced at Sima Yan and said slowly: "I didn't expect that you, the remnant of the Sima family, did not die, but it's okay, just kill them together..." After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately four old men behind him rushed out, and the cavalry outside also began to charge towards the Dugu family camp under the leadership of Guo Jiang, as if he didn't even have the idea of ​​talking nonsense with Dugu Li.
