On the mountain road.

Hu Fei looked at Xiao An, who was slowly walking towards him, with eyes full of admiration. For the first time, he almost blurted out the word "master".

But he finally held back, because Xiao An's next words instantly made him lose all goodwill.

"That move just now was still half a minute too slow. Keep practicing."

Xiao An looked at Hu Fei and said with a slight disappointment.

After listening to Xiao An's words, Hu Fei frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction. He put the golden dragon dagger into its sheath and put it in his arms.

"Don't let anyone know that I've been here. If anyone asks, just say that you killed those killers."

Xiao An glanced around, then changed the subject and said.

"Me? Do you believe it?"

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows? Anyway, you like to be in the limelight the most, so I'll leave it to you."

Xiao An curled his lips, and as he spoke, he walked towards the woods not far away.

"There must be someone else in the carriage, you have been seen long ago!"

Hu Fei turned around and looked at Xiao An who was about to leave, and couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, he has long been unconscious."

Xiao An waved his hand and walked quickly into the woods.

Hu Fei turned around suspiciously and walked slowly towards the carriage.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown. This was the first time he had seen such a big killing scene. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but get chills down his spine. If Xiao An hadn't appeared in time, he would have fallen to the ground now.

It's his body.

Then, he saw the officers and soldiers who did not give in until the last moment, and he couldn't help but stand in awe.

After hesitating for a while, Hu Fei slowly boarded the carriage, lifted the brocade curtain at the carriage door, and found a man lying inside, with wounds on his body and a pale face.

Although he was still breathing, Xiao An was right, this man was indeed unconscious.

This is a young man who looks to be about the same age as Hu Fei. There is a trace of heroism between his eyebrows, which makes him look very different.

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment, then helped the young man out of the carriage, carried him to the cart full of stones, and sat down next to him.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei carried the more than 20 officers and soldiers who died fighting to protect the youth one by one to the side of the cart, and arranged them neatly in a row.

After doing this, Hu Fei glanced at the still unconscious young man, leaned against the shaft of the car, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before someone from the capital city would come to pick up the young people. Even if there weren't, they would not go back for so long, and the city guard would soon send people out to look for them.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Xiao Wu, who had escaped before, suddenly appeared in front of Hu Fei again.

"Why are you still here?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and couldn't help but asked in surprise.

He thought that Xiao Wu had all escaped like the other slave laborers who had escaped.

"I was worried that something might happen to you, so I ran away for a while and then came back."

Xiao Wu looked at Hu Fei with some fear and said slowly.

The scene where Hu Fei killed someone to save him was still vivid in his mind. He never thought that Hu Fei was actually a master.

"Did you see what happened just now?"

Hu Fei narrowed his eyes, stared at Xiao Wu and asked.

Of course what he was talking about was referring to Xiao An killing all the killers.

"I saw it..."

Xiaowu said with lingering fear.

"No, you didn't see it. If you want to survive, it's best to forget what you just saw. I killed those people, remember?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and said every word seriously.

Xiao An's existence cannot be known to anyone.

Before Xiao An left, he asked him to lie and say that he was the one who killed the killers. He was not willing to do so at first, but now he can only say so, otherwise there is no way to explain.

"remember!"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said.

"You should have escaped with those hard laborers, why do you need to come back?"

Hu Fei smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a reduced sentence for a prisoner who behaved well. Unless he was lucky enough to receive an amnesty, he would be a prisoner for the rest of his life.

"Where can they escape? Master, do you think those people really escaped?"

"The world is so big, where is the place for people like us? You can still live if you don't escape, but if you escape, there is only one way to die."

"They escaped, but they just escaped back to the military camp and had nowhere to go."

Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but frown, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"What did you do?"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and asked slowly.

"I accidentally killed someone."

Xiaowu replied with a wry smile.

Hearing Xiao Wu's answer, Hu Fei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xiao Wu, who looked weak, actually committed murder.

"My mother is sick and needs medicine all year round to keep her alive. However, our family is poor and we have no money to buy medicine. In order to keep my mother alive, my father went to the drugstore to ask for medicine, but the shopkeeper not only refused, but also injured my father. I was furious.

He went to a drug store to argue and accidentally beat the store owner to death, so he became a prisoner."

"I think my mother may be no longer alive at this time, and my father doesn't know how he is doing now and whether he is healthy."

Xiao Wu sighed and said regretfully.

After listening to Xiao Wu's explanation, Hu Fei frowned even more. He didn't expect that Xiao Wu was also a miserable child.

"When I return to the capital, I will go visit your parents for you."

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Wu and suddenly couldn't help but said.

Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said nothing. Perhaps he felt that Hu Fei was also a prisoner now, so why would he visit his parents at home? Maybe it was just a word of comfort.

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, a vigilant voice sounded, and the young man who had been leaning on the cart and had been unconscious finally woke up!

Hearing the sound, Hu Fei and Xiao Wu turned their heads and looked over at the same time.

The young man looked around warily, then looked at Hu Fei and Xiao Wu warily.

"You're awake, he saved you."

Seeing the young man waking up, Xiao Wu seemed to have remembered Hu Fei's instructions just now, pointed at Hu Fei directly, and said seriously.

After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect Xiao Wu to be so simple. At least he could pretend to be more like him.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hu Fei again, and slowly stood up. As soon as he turned around, he saw his carriage, the corpses of the killers on the ground around the carriage, and the more than 20 people who were killed by Hu Fei.

Neatly arranged corpses of officers and soldiers.

"You killed all those killers?"

The young man turned to look at Hu Fei and asked in disbelief.

"That's right."

Hu Fei puffed up his chest and nodded heavily.

The young man looked at Hu Fei again, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes. No matter what, he never thought that such a master would appear in the mountains and fields, and he could kill dozens of killers with one person.

"Are you prisoners?"

Immediately afterwards, the young man noticed what Hu Fei and Xiao Wu were wearing, and asked with a frown.

"Exactly."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said slowly.

"What guilt?"

The young man couldn't help but ask.

"kill."

Hu Fei smiled and said casually.
