Fengyi and Pei County are close neighbors, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the people are simple. Fengyi under the name of surrender, conflicts with the government and falls into turmoil. Qin II ordered the Qin army to suppress it, and the people scattered.

It took about three days to get from Pei County to Fengyi. After Qi Lan learned how to ride a horse these days, she rode a foal alone and walked with Liu Ji.

On the mountain paths, you often encounter skinny mountain farmers, who take their families to escape the war. The war has taken away their hometowns and made it difficult for them to make a living. They have no choice but to leave their hometowns and find other ways out.

Liu Ji's expression was calm. He had long been accustomed to these things these days. At the beginning of the rebellion, he embarked on a path of no return. Even though the creatures were in trouble and mourning everywhere, he could only continue without hesitation.

This is a road covered with blood and corpses, and it is also the price he has to pay.

In the distance, a thin middle-aged man was holding a child and ran in a panic, shouting, "Save - Help, the tiger is here!"

A howl of a beast came from a distance, and the birds in the forest flew away. The man turned around in panic while running, his face pale.

Liu Ji and Qi Lan looked at each other and ran towards the man at the same time. The man was covered in blood and had been exhausted. When he saw someone helping him, he stumbled towards them as if he had seen hope.

Liu Jifei got off the horse and quickly took over the boy from the man's hand. The man felt relieved as if he had fulfilled his last wish and fell down softly.

Qi Lan exclaimed and hurried forward, but was still one step late. The man had already fallen to the ground and no longer breathed.

"He has lost too much blood and is dead." Liu Ji closed his eyes and said in pain.

The man's clothes had long been stained with blood, and there were several torn scars. Liu Ji turned on his clothes and found many scars, including signs of whipping and sticking. It can be inferred that the man was a slave.

Qi Lan looked gloomy. The little boy in Liu Ji's arms looked only three years old, and his face was stained with blood. He tilted his head and looked at them inexplicably. Qi Lan touched his head, and the little boy smiled loudly, his appearance even more pitiful.

"This person is his father, right?" Qi Lan said sadly: "What should I do if only such a small child is left?"

Liu Ji remained silent, but before he could finish speaking, a beast's roar came from behind him, and the sound was obviously much closer than before. When the little boy heard this sound, his face was pale and he cried with a loud voice.

Qi Lan took the child from Liu Ji's hand, held it in her arms and comforted him in a low voice. Liu Ji drew out his long sword and rushed towards the woods ahead--

A piece of open space in the woods was filled with white smoke everywhere. The tiger with bloody mouths was roaring hard in the smoke. Unlike Liu Ji expected, the tiger looked very painful, trembling all over, and crawling on the ground.

Liu Ji sniffed the white smoke gently and realized that it was the thick smoke of Mu Tianli.

There seemed to be a scholar next to the woods, burning the fire in front of him hard. While slapping the fire, he observed the tiger's appearance nervously. Liu Ji put away his sword and walked towards the man.

"Brother, I wonder what you are doing?" Liu Jiming asked knowingly.

The scholar raised his head, wiped the sweat from his head, and nodded and bowed: "Young master is polite, and he is driving the tiger. This tiger is harming one side, and several innocent people have been tragically killed. He is passing by, so of course he cannot stand by."

Liu Ji looked at Mu Tianliao, who was about to burn out on the fire: "Is this how to drive the tiger from my brother?"

The scholar nodded, feeling a little proud: "My cat is most afraid of this. I think tigers are bigger cats. Let's try it out. Look, it's still very effective!"

The wood and Tianli on the fire was about to burn out, and the thick smoke in the woods faded a lot. The tiger in the forest roared, struggled a few times, then stood up and rushed towards them eagerly.

The scholar's pride expression had not yet faded, and his face turned green. He stood up in panic and said tremblingly: "What, why can't it be? It's almost dizzy. There are so many Mu Tianli, even ten cats should fall down-"

/>

"Because this is a tiger, not a cat." Liu Ji's face was covered in darkness.

The smoke dissipated, and the smell in the forest gradually disappeared. The tiger shook, roared, jumped suddenly, and rushed towards the scholar. The scholar shouted and ran away with his head in his arms. Liu Ji sighed, pulled out his sword, and met the tiger. With a few short moves, the tiger fell to the ground and died.

The scholar was stunned. He took such a lot of effort to trap the tiger for a moment, but Liu Ji killed the tiger in just a few strokes, which was really shocking.

The scholar's admiration suddenly spread endlessly. He clasped his fists with his hands and exclaimed sincerely: "Young master is agile and extraordinary, and the young master admires it."

Liu Ji glanced at the indifferent scholar without answering. There was no more tiger roar in the woods, and calmness returned to his mind. Qi Lan knew that the tiger had been eliminated, so she came over with the little boy in her arms.
