Chapter Thirteen: Beacon Fire

Around noon, the door of the woodshed was finally opened.

Xin Nan held a pottery cauldron filled with cold vegetable soup and several pancakes.

These foods are similar to those eaten by ordinary Chinese people.

Xin Nan loosened the ropes on several people and walked out.

The soldiers didn't care about anything else and started eating with all their heart.

"This Xinyou still knows how to ensure that I have a good meal."

The wooden path leads to the sun.

"Xiao Wang, why don't we..."

Hu Moliu said in a low voice.

Mu Xingri stopped eating and looked outside.

Xin Nan and the boy were eating not far from the door.

"If you find an opportunity, you must sneak out and tell brother that Xin has reinforcements!"

"OK!"

Everyone quickly ate their fill and fell asleep again as if nothing happened.

Xin Nan outside the door was also full at this moment.

"Xiaowu, I'm going to the toilet, you watch them here."

Xinnan Road.

Before Xiao Wu had time to answer, Xin Nan left the courtyard of the rural school.

"Tch! I must be lazy again."

Xiao Wu rolled his eyes at Xin Nan, then walked over and closed the door of the firewood house directly.

"You're going to be lazy, but I won't? It's been a long time since I've had such a day..."

Xiao Wu stretched himself and then sat at the door.

"Xiao Wang...the opportunity has come..."

Hu Moliu said in surprise.

Mu Xingri waved his hand: "Don't be anxious yet, I'll try..."

He walked to the door and opened it gently.

There was a sound of snoring outside the door.

Xiaowu fell asleep as soon as he sat down.

Mu Xingri tiptoed out of the woodshed, and then waved to the other people.

Everyone quietly slipped out of the woodshed. Hu Moliu also tried Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu turned over impatiently and continued to sleep.

"Hehe, we must tell our elder brother that Xinyi's reinforcements have arrived!"

Mu Xingri whispered.

"But how can we sneak out? There are people from Xinyi outside."

Hu Moliu's worries are not unreasonable.

It is noon now, and many Chinese people are still working outside.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the rural school.

"ha!"

"Hey!"

Mu Xingri came to a corner of the rural school, signaled everyone to build a ladder, and climbed up to the corner.

"kill!!!"

"Oh my god..."

Mu Xingri was so frightened that he almost fell down.

"Outside...it's all Zhou people's army outside!"

"We have been discovered!" Hu Moliu was shocked.

Mu Xingri shook his head: "No, no, they are just practicing."

He touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go over there..."

Outside the rural school, Xin stood in front of the "army" again.

These troops were backed by the rural school, but from the front, there were actually old men and women, all wearing similar clothes and holding long sticks and wooden sticks.

"Gentleman, those people have already run away..."

Xin Nan quietly walked out from behind.

"Very good, have you told them about the reinforcements?"

"I have already said it according to the gentleman's instructions."

Xin nodded again and said to Xin Nan: "Follow them and make sure they go down the mountain smoothly."

"yes……"

Xin Nan retreated and walked around to a room at the back.

"Ah, uncle."

Xin Jin was supported by Xiao Wu and was waiting for Xin Nan here.

"Did you follow the gentleman's instructions?" Xin Jin asked.

"Yes... isn't this what Xiao Wu said you allowed to do..." Xin Nan looked a little afraid of Xin Jin.

"I asked Xiao Wu to say that."

After Xin Jin finished speaking, Xin Nan let out a sigh of relief.

He can't afford to offend this old man.

"Uncle, why do you do what the gentleman says? If we tell the Rong people his true plan, then the gentleman will..."

Xiao Wu next to him asked.

Xin Jin said: "The powerful enemy is outside, and the Xin family cannot have internal strife for the time being. That Xin seems to have changed. Let's take a look. Don't worry, I will be in control of the overall situation..."

"Hehe, that's what my uncle said. Xin thought he had set the plan, but he didn't know that without uncle's order, he couldn't even command a single clan member."

Xiao Wu's face was full of contempt.

"Anyway, let's defeat the Rong people first." Xin Jin said, "Qiu Xi will be here soon. You should prepare well. You must defeat the Zong family again this year and improve the prestige of this branch!"

"Yes, uncle." Xiao Wu replied.



Under the Xin Mountains, the Rong people camped.

A tall and muscular man wearing leather armor and long hair stood in front of the camp, holding a bronze dagger with a ring in his hand.

He is none other than Mu Luotian, the leader of the Irozhi Rong.

"Damn it... prepare me for battle!"

Seeing the smoke on the mountain, Mu Luotian decided to launch an invasion of Xinyi.

"Your Majesty, this Xinyi is crazy! It's just ten carts of grain, are they going to fight tooth and nail?"

A Rong leader on the side said.

"Mu Xingri and the others occupied the beacon tower. Now that Xinyi has lit the beacon, Mu Xingri and the others may have been killed..."

Mu Luotian's chest rose and fell, and the corners of his mouth trembled constantly.

Thinking of his brother being killed, his anger had already covered up his reason.

After the king's order was passed down, the Rong warriors began to shout.

This is their pre-battle ritual, allowing the gods to grant them courage.

The sound of war drums and the fighting of soldiers.

The Rong troops had few chariots and horses, and all were infantry who were good at close combat.

This gave them an advantage when fighting small towns like Xinyi.

"Let the people of Xinyi see the consequences of irritating us!"

Mu Luotian smeared the blood of animals on his chest, cheeks and long knife to seek the blessing of the gods.

After the ancient ceremony was completed, Mu Luotian led the army to the mountains and forests leading to the highlands.

"Brother!"

"King!"

I saw Mu Xingri and the others running down the mountain road rolling and crawling.

"It seems to be Mu Xingri?" asked the Rong people on the side.

At this time, the sky was already dark. Mu Xingri ran closer and Mu Luo was able to see their appearance clearly.

"What happened up there? Did Xinyi ask for help?" Mu Luotian asked.

"Yes...and their reinforcements have arrived!"

Mu Xingri told Mu Luotian all the information he had found out.

"Impossible! How could they walk up a cliff like that?!!"

Mu Luotian didn't believe the Xinyi people's words at all, thinking that the Xinyi people were lying to him.

Where have you seen such a weird thing? Can reinforcements really run up the cliff? Can they also swim upstream from a river as fast as Qingshui?

"What if they did this on purpose to make us give up the attack?"

Muluotian said.

"But……"

"Mu Xingri, when you escaped, they really didn't notice at all? Didn't you encounter any obstacles?"

"It seems... not"

"Hmph, do Zhou people think they are smart? I won't be fooled by them!"

Mu Luotian still didn't believe there were reinforcements on the mountain.

"Mu Sheng, go and investigate..."



About half an hour later, the spy named Musheng ran down the mountain.

"People...there are people everywhere!"

"People?! Did you see people!?"

Mu Luotian still couldn't believe it.

"It's not a person, it's a fire."

"Fire? What are you going to say again? Make it clear!"

Muluotian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Halfway through the journey, I saw that the mountains and forests were all filled with fire. Row after row, column after column, they were moving through the mountains. They were definitely troops!"

"Firelight?"

"Yes, there should be a lot of people marching with torches. I made a rough estimate, there are at least two thousand people..."

"Two thousand people!"

Mu Luotian was stunned.

This fact is really incredible.
