"Dad, when will we go home?"

"Yanzhou will be your and my home from now on."

To the west of Yanzhou, under the Baiyan Pass city tower, a thin man held the hand of a five or six-year-old girl, and looked at the city tower not far away with hope.

In front of them, two long rows of lines led to the city gate.

The man's skin was rough, his face was dark, his beard was unshaven, his hair was simply tied with a hemp rope, and he was hung with a severely broken horizontal knife around his waist. His lower trousers were rolled up, and his feet were wearing only a pair of straw sandals. Through his ragged clothes, he could vaguely see his thin body, visible bones, and the scarred wounds.

Although the little girl he was holding was not injured, her red cheeks were covered with frostbite, and her lips were even more purple, but her eyes were still clear.

Among the two rows in front of the city gate, almost all were refugees like father and daughter.

Up the city tower.

Looking at the long line below, the two Yanzhou guards couldn't help but frown.

“There are more and more refugees recently.”

"I have a relative who has just escaped from Liuzhou and told me that Liuzhou has become a purgatory on earth. The guards and monks of various city governments only care about snatching territory and mineral veins, regardless of the lives and death of the people. Now the demons and plagues are rampant in the city, and unclaimed corpses are everywhere on the streets. It is said that a strange disease called madness is spread in the city. After suffering from this disease, both the cultivators and the poor are like crazy, sucking human blood and eating human flesh, and turning into monsters little by little. Among them, the most powerful ones are said to be unable to deal with the monks in the real human realm, which is even more powerful than ordinary demons."

"This disease cannot be transmitted to our Liuzhou."

"Don't worry, the head of Xiaoman's family has already thought of a solution. Now every refugee who enters the city needs a blood test. If the person with that strange disease has the blood in his body, he will swim on his own. But as long as the sun shines, it will turn into purple smoke."

"But what if those powerful monsters get mixed up among the refugees and suddenly break in during the inspection?"

"The monsters that appear can't pass the Yun Whale Formation. If they can't pass the Yun Whale Formation, they will naturally not reach the front of our city tower. Besides, our Baiyan Pass has two inner and outer city gates. Once a monster or a monk with bad intentions breaks in, the Yanyan Talisman buried in the middle of the city gate will be activated on its own and turns into a fire wall to block them. This Yanyan True Fire Talisman is a fifth-grade talisman, and the fire can burn for three days and three nights in a row. At that time, we will have enough time to deal with these people who have passed the level."

"The head of Xiaoman's family thought very thoughtfully."

"Of course, the head of the family had already predicted the chaos in these ten states more than three months ago."

"But I think it's better to put these people in less. If this continues, the entire ten states who flee to our Yanzhou will run to ours."

"The head of the family will definitely not expect this, but don't forget the motto of our Sang family, 'Those who plan for the most will live, and those who plan for the few will die'."

"What's the meaning?"

"The more chaotic the world is, the more we have to work together to make a living. If everyone only thinks about themselves, even if the Sang family is the pillar, Yanzhou will not last long."

"I'm leaving, it's time to open the city gate."

The two Sang Family Guards talked here and then walked down the city tower together.

"Squeak..."

As the sound of two heavy door shafts rotated, Baiyan City Gate gradually opened.

The two long refugee teams were thrust into chaos.

"Everyone line up quietly for me. Who dares to whisper and walk around and kill on the spot!"

A loud shout sounded at the city gate.

The two city guards, who were covered with bright armor, were separated from the sides of the city gates on both sides of the city gates on the left and right. In the long city gate passage behind them, there were two city guards with the same tightly wrapped, leaving only two eyes.

After this sound, the originally riotous refugee team immediately became quiet.

"Come here one by one to cut your fingers and test your blood."

The city guard shouted again, and the refugee team moved slowly this time and stepped forward one by one.

At the entrance of the city gate are two simple tables. There is a large white porcelain water tank on the table. The water tank is filled with clear water. Next to the water tank is a wine jar, with seven or eight daggers neatly inserted into the wine jar.

Every time a refugee came over, the city guard would pick up a dagger and cut a small mouth in its hand, and then let him drip a drop of blood into the white porcelain water tank. Only when he confirmed that the blood in the water tank was not abnormal were released.

"Dad, when will it be us? Nannan is so cold."

Looking at the long queue in front of him, the little girl standing with the man's hand, she said in a weak crying voice.

"It's soon, it's soon, Nan Nan be good." The man squatted down, put the little girl's hand on his palm and rubbed it, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "When we enter the city, we can drink hot porridge and have hot water to soak Nan Nan's feet."

"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently, "Can I eat another steamed cake? Dad?"

"Yes." The man wiped the little girl's nose with the corner of her clothes, and her smile was gentle and authentic.

"No, no, I don't, I don't, you must have made a mistake!"

At this moment, a scream broke the peace in front of the city gate.

The man pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife with a vigilant look on his face, and his other hand instinctively protected the little girl in his arms and hugged her.

After standing up, he was very tall and finally saw clearly that at the gate of the city, a man was trying to explain something to the soldiers guarding the city in front of him.

"No need to look at it, you must have been infected with crazy blood."

"That's over."

The father and daughter were in the forefront, and the two refugees whispered to each other.

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but hug the girl in his arms tightly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm not stained with crazy blood, let me in!"

At this time, at the city gate, the man who was still begging hard suddenly picked up the dagger on the table, waved it wildly, and rushed into the city gate.

However, after a few steps, his head was cut off by the Mo knife from the hand of a city guard next to him.

Then the city guard, wrapped in armor, threw a talisman at the middle-aged man with a broken head. The moment the talisman fell on the body, with the sound of "boom", a green flame rose from his body. In just a blink of an eye, the corpse was burned to a mass of ashes.

"Next!"

The city guard seemed to have done something very ordinary, and his emotions were silently turned around without any fluctuations, and looked at the two long rows of refugees in front of the city gate again.

After watching the scene just now, the crowd who could whisper a few words were already silent, fearing that it would make a slight sound.

After about a stick of incense, the father and daughter finally arrived at the table where the water tank and dagger were placed.

The fully armed city guard at the table said nothing, just stood there quietly.

The man already knew what to do. He hugged the little girl, then gently slashed the little girl's fingertips with a dagger, and a drop of blood fell down instantly.

I wonder if I was too afraid of the city guard standing opposite me. The little girl didn't say a word when she cut her finger, but just bit her lips tightly.

When the man saw that the drop of blood in the water tank was nothing unusual, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The city guard opposite, who couldn't see clearly, nodded, and then pointed at the man himself.

The man nodded repeatedly, then put down the little girl, picked up the dagger and cut it at his fingertips.

The bright red blood instantly flowed down his fingertips, and the thick snow dripped into the white porcelain water tank, sinking little by little until it sank into the bottom of the tank without any abnormal movement.

But just as the man was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the blood drip that had been stationary at the bottom of the tank suddenly shook violently, turning into blood thorns to try to rush out of the water tank. However, in just a blink of an eye, the blood began to burn at the bottom of the water tank and finally disappeared completely.

The man's face froze after seeing this scene.

The fully armed city guard in front of him pressed a hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and stared at him silently.

"Dad, dad, can we leave now? Nan Nan is hungry."

At this time, the little baby suddenly pulled the man's trouser legs.

The man's stiff face twitched for a moment, and finally he squeezed out a smile.

He bent down and picked up the little girl, and then handed her to the soldier in front of him, and said:

"Let this uncle take you there first, Dad will arrive soon."

As he said that, he looked at the city guards wrapped in armor with a prayerful look.

After being stunned for a moment, the city guard finally stretched out his two cold arms with armor, took the little girl, said nothing, and walked straight towards the long passage of the city gate.

"Uncle, wait for my dad."

The little girl leaned against her chest by the city guard, raised her head and looked at the city guard.

"Don't worry, your father is doing what he should do, and he will come to you after he finishes doing it."

Cheng Weiyu said calmly, pressing a big hand on the little girl's head, letting her lean against her chest, and inadvertently covering her ears.

Almost the moment they walked out of the city gate, a series of blazing flames rose again at the city gate, but the city guard did not stop at all until the strong sunlight shone on his and the little girl's face again.

"Take her to where we have children."

The city guard, wrapped in armor, handed the little girl to the city guard in casual clothes at the city gate.

"Uncle, when will my father come to find me?" The little girl, who was held by another city guard, tried hard to turn her head and look at the city guard wrapped in armor.

"It's soon...it's soon."

"Thank you uncle!"

The little girl who got the answer turned around.

But the city guard with armor was standing there in a daze.

"Beidou, why are you standing here stupidly?"

At this time, a girl walked up to the soldier.

"Sister Qingluo."
