The ten teenagers tied a thin rope on their right wrists, connected in a string, more than a meter away from each other, walking back along the old road, and even Fangfang was not treated preferentially. She walked at the end, sobbing in a low voice, and Xiaoqiu was ahead.

She was not the only one who cried. Under the infection of the bald man, most of the young men had tears on their faces. They never thought that a single escape would cause such a big trouble.

The Xuanfu Army is even more terrifying than the legendary ones. They are adults, and they look taller when riding on horses. They are all equipped with long swords and shields. The occasional collision makes the teenagers frightened.

The only Xuan Fu Jun who made the sound was obviously the leader, only he had a red silk ribbon tied around his waist and a ribbon of the same color was draped from his right shoulder.

The Xuanfu Army obviously did not select the leader by its head, because this person was the shortest among the eleven soldiers, but this did not affect his coldness at all. It was under his command that the young men had a thin rope tied on their wrists and walked like prisoners between the two soldiers in front and behind like prisoners.

The return journey was listless, especially Ershuan, who came up with the idea of ​​walking the path, but was arrested less than a day. He regretted it very much. If he did it again, he felt that he should force his friends to travel overnight instead of stopping to have a meal or rest, or simply taking Xiaoqiu and Fangfang back to Yelin Town. Looking at the black Xuanfu Army, Ershuan was more inclined to the latter choice, but unfortunately he could not make another choice.

"My father will save me. He was the official he reported to me, right?" Ershuan whispered, giving himself some confidence and comforting his partner behind him.

"We are not a serious crime, right?" Lanzi walked behind Er Shuan and asked in a crying voice, "Let's just say... it was Xiaoqiu who forced us into the forest."

"No need, just convince my father... I can do it, you don't have to worry." Although Ershuan regretted helping Xiaoqiu, he didn't think about betraying him at this time.

Lengzi nodded in frustration, "My father must beat me to death..."

The frustration immediately infected the entire team. The bald man cried so hard that his shoulders kept shaking, one deep and one shallow, and he could hardly keep up with the people in front of him. "I don't want to go into the cell, I...I want to pee."

"No sound is allowed." The officer of Xuanfu Army spoke again. He was obviously a very strict person. He rode a horse and stopped by the roadside. He watched the young prisoners walk one by one. Under his command, the teenagers even became cautious in their breathing.

Xiaoqiu looked up and glanced at him. The panic in his heart had disappeared and he had recovered his ability to observe. Suddenly, he felt that the officer with a cold voice seemed not very big.

The officer's face was hidden behind the helmet cover and found that Xiaoqiu dared to look up and threatenedly raised the horse whip.

Xiaoqiu was even more sure that the officer was not an adult. He was surprised. How could a child be qualified to command ten fully armed Xuanfu Army soldiers? Then, he began to think about his escape plan.

The red horse was still there, following the back tacitly. As long as he could untie the rope and ride Fangfang on the horse, he might be able to escape the pursuit of the soldiers. Xiaoqiu's plan has always been simple, and he still did not intend to ask anyone for help.

The chance to untie the rope soon came.

Two hours after setting off, the group returned to the official road. The teenagers were surprised to find that they had walked for more than a day yesterday, but in fact they had not entered the forest as far as they could.

The officer decided to stop and rest.

A scholar took off his helmet and showed his determined face that had been through vicissitudes. "Sir, let's continue to rush. No matter how dark it will be, we have to return to the Little Fort."

The officer did not speak, did not take off his helmet, and stared stubbornly at the soldiers who dared to express different opinions, as if he was greatly offended.

The veteran's face turned slightly red, but he still insisted on his own opinion. This was his duty. He lowered his voice a little and his head lowered a little. "The talisman master reminded that it is not safe here and should not stay for a long time. The Taoist priest I met yesterday also said..."

"Oh, I know, and I know more. Don't worry, the demon seed dare not show up in broad daylight. Even if it really comes out, can our Xijieguo Xuanfu Army still not beat it?"

The teenagers were amused when they heard the veterans say that the place was "unsafe". The biggest "devil" in Yelin Town is their children, who are as honest as chickens in Xuan Fujun. Where did they come from being unsafe?

The veteran surrendered and nodded to the other soldiers, indicating that he could rest.

The soldiers were very happy, dismounted, lifted their helmets and ate the dry food and water they carried with them, and took turns to go to the back of the jungle to excrete, without saying a word to each other, as if they were very afraid of the short officer, and tried their best to show the soldiers' seriousness in front of him.

The officer did not dismount and looked down at the prisoners he caught, as if they were unforgivable traitors.

The bald man was trembling with his urge to hold it in. Xiao Qiu plucked up his courage and raised his head and said loudly to the officer: "I want to pee."

"I want it too." The bald man endured it for a long time, and even the fear of being in jail could not stop this feeling. A series of prisoners made the same appeal, and Erliang even wanted a piece of dry food. Seeing others eating was a torture for him.

"No noise," the officer said sternly.

The teenagers did not dare to be presumptuous, only Xiaoqiu was still staring at the officer, "The prisoner must also go to the cottage, we are almost unable to hold it in."

The officer was silent for a while, "Others can take turns, but you can't."

"Why?" Xiaoqiu asked in surprise. He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the rope and execute the escape plan.

"Because you have committed serious crimes."

Xiaoqiu was angry. The Xuan Fu Jun around him was not as tall and tall as the first time he looked. He had already picked up his stubborn temper again. "Fangfang was unwilling to marry into the Shen family, which is also a crime? Do you a group of adults have to force a little girl?"

The officer snorted disdainfully, "Xizuoguo doesn't care about the marriage of a folk woman. You, you let go of fourteen official horses and steal one, which is a serious crime."

Xiaoqiu opened his mouth wide. All the horses he grazed belonged to the Shen family. He didn't know that the Shen family raised horses for the government.

The other teenagers were relieved when they heard this. The lazy boy immediately expressed his thoughts, "It turned out to be for the official horse. Then nothing is done by us. The horses were all let go by Xiaoqiu."

"You are accomplices." The officer was not polite at all, "and he would be punished."

The word "punishment" that is not often heard scared the young men. They would rather accept "learning" and "tidy up", but they dare not imagine how terrible "punishment" would be. At the warning of the officer, the two soldiers began to untie the ropes for the prisoners, but only Xiaoqiu was still tied and stayed within the sight of the Xuanfu Army.

When it was Fangfang's turn, she shook her head and refused to release the rope, and was still connected with Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu's first plan failed before it was implemented, so he had to think of another idea.

"What are the demon seeds? Are you so scared? We have all kinds of species in Yelin Town, but we have never heard of the demon seeds."

The officer snorted again, but did not expect that the prisoner was very brave and dared to ask him. He refused to answer, but ordered: "Tie him tighter." A soldier came over and pulled the rope on Xiaoqiu's right wrist tighter until he tied the meat. "And she." The officer pointed at Fangfang with a horse whip.

"What's up to her?" Xiaoqiu stood in front of Fangfang.

"Because your mouth is not honest." The officer enjoyed his authority very much, and a hint of pride appeared in his voice, "This is just a little punishment."

The soldier pushed Xiaoqiu away and tied the rope on Fangfang's wrist tighter. The man was too strong, Fangfang screamed softly. Xiaoqiu glared at the officer, but did not dare to speak anymore.

The young men who went to the jungle came back one after another, and the officers silently counted, "One is still missing."

Lanzi pointed at the jungle in panic, "Bald, he...he's shit."

The officer turned his head in contempt. The vulgar language of the young man in the border town sounded particularly harsh to him, but after waiting for a while, the last prisoner still did not come out. He was a little impatient, "Call him out and set off immediately."

"Bald." said the nightmare.

"Bald!" Ershuan raised his voice.

It was around noon, and the branches were hanging low, and even the insects were so tired that they refused to speak, and the jungle was even quieter.

The officer was angry, "Catch the prisoner and beat him five times."

"Bald, get out quickly." The teenagers shouted, hoping that he would have time to avoid the caning.

A soldier walked towards the jungle with great strides and was very unhappy with the mission. Even without the officer's order, he would teach the young man a lesson.

The soldiers entered the jungle, and the shaking of the branches quickly stopped, but no sound came out.

The teenagers looked at each other. It was beyond their expectations that the bald men were so bold.

Xuanfu Army had other ideas. The nine soldiers drew out their long swords almost at the same time, took off their shields from the horse's back, stood side by side, facing the jungle.

It seemed that the officer had seen this formation for the first time. He was a little nervous. He tied the reins and took the horse around and turned around in place, "Go to two more people."

The two soldiers took the order and set off, cautiously, seven or eight steps apart, and just walked a few steps, they stopped again. A small face appeared in the gaps of the jungle trees, which was the prisoner who refused to come out.

The bald man looked at everyone with a smile, without saying a word, but just nodded, as if he was calling his friends to come over to watch the fun things. He looked disapproving and did not take the Xuanfu Army soldiers seriously.

This is not the bald man in the teenagers' memories.

When the officer saw the person, he panicked and became angry, "Don't he want to live?"

The veteran turned his head and said to the officer: "What's wrong, be careful..."

The two soldiers in front continued to approach the jungle, holding a shield in their left hand and holding a sword in their right hand, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The bald man still had a smile on his face and his head was lit more frequently, and he was encouraging the soldiers to approach.

The two soldiers disappeared quite suddenly, as if they were pulled hard by something, spread their arms and rushed into the jungle, and the sword and shield fell to the ground.

"Beast monster!" A soldier shouted loudly. Without waiting for the officer's order, the soldiers immediately took action, hit the shield with swords and approached the jungle with neat steps. The target was not a smiling bald man, but a place more than ten steps away from him.

Behind them, the officer stepped back and took a few steps before calming down. He also drew out his long sword and raised his oval shield, but did not dare to move forward.

The teenagers in Yelin Town didn’t understand the meaning of beast monsters very much. They were clearly bald men who were familiar with, and they had just been in the jungle, where did the “monsters” come from?

Xiaoqiu was shocked in his heart and suddenly remembered the reminder of the Taoist priest by the bridge - stay away from demons.

Just when the teenagers were inaccurate, the demon really appeared. A huge snake head was revealed from the jungle. It obviously knew that its whereabouts had been exposed, so it gave up its tricks and wanted to directly confront the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army.

The snake's head was hanging high in the air, and its yellow eyes looked down at the human being. The two giant teeth in the palate were almost as long as the sword of Xuanfu Jun.
