Mu Hanyan and the others ran all the way, almost non-stop, and felt very tired. Seeing that their hospitality was difficult, they did not refuse.
The people of Hanshan Town are simple and honest, and she once fought against the enemy side by side with Mu Hanyan and others, so she was not restrained because of her change of identity.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, did something happen in the town?" During the dinner, Mu Hanyan noticed that although the City Lord and the others were chatting and laughing, there was a look of worry on their brows from time to time, so he asked.
"To tell you the truth, last time, thanks to His Royal Highness Princess, who lured away those two berserk stone monsters, the people in Hanshan Town were able to escape safely. Not long after the city was broken, the strange beasts dispersed, and we hid outside for a while. I came back to repair the city again. I thought it was the same as before, and the strange beasts uttered their anger, and they would not invade Hanshan Town for at least a few decades. Who knew that this time was different from the past. For days, every few days, those The strange beasts will strike again, and although they are not as powerful as last time, they still annoy us a lot." Seeing that Mu Hanyan saw what was on his mind, the old city lord did not hide it, and said with a sad face.
"It's strange to say that alien beasts usually attack a city once every few years or ten years. Once they break into the city and get angry, they usually won't do it again for decades. How come this time it's endless."
"We have lived in Hanshan Town for generations, and we have never heard of such a thing." The others also said with puzzled and tired faces.
Hearing this, Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly. These strange beasts are so abnormal, they may have something to do with Jiuyou Hell Prison.
"By the way, I also heard that An Yun Country seems to be a bit uneasy." The old city lord thought for a while and said hesitantly.
"Oh?" Hearing that he mentioned An Yunguo, Mu Hanyan suddenly raised his head.
"I heard that there are strange beasts attacking the city in many places in Anyun Kingdom, and many people have been displaced, but I don't know if it's true or not." The old city owner said, afraid that Mu Hanyan would be worried, but dared to say too much absolute.
Mu Hanyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this was the reason why his father asked him to go back to An Yun in such a hurry. But if it's just this level of alien beast attacking the city, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Judging from the scribbled handwriting in father's letter, the situation must be very urgent, and it will never be the level of alien beast attacking beasts in Hanshan Town So simple.
"My lord, thank you for your kind hospitality, so let's take our leave first." The more Mu Hanyan thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Seeing that the banquet was almost over, he got up and said to the old city lord.
"In such a hurry? Your Royal Highness is running all the way, why don't you rest for a night before leaving?" the old city lord advised.
"The kindness of the city lord is appreciated, I'd better hurry back to Anyun as soon as possible." Mu Hanyan wanted to return home, and he didn't want to delay any longer.
After saying goodbye to everyone briefly, Mu Hanyan and the others hurried towards An Yun in the dark. Fortunately, they were full and had a rare moment of rest just now, but everyone's spirits improved a lot.
The sun was shining brightly above their heads, and when Mu Hanyan and his party came to the border again, it was mid-afternoon, but when they entered the border fortress of Shangyue Kingdom, they didn't feel the sweltering heat, instead they were still shivering .
All dead, all the people in the fortress are dead, either decapitated, disemboweled, or mutilated. The death conditions are extremely miserable. Judging from the claw marks and tooth marks on their bodies, it is obvious that they died of alien beasts attack.
Mu Hanyan was even more uneasy. Although alien beasts have never stopped attacking cities for millions of years, most of them happened in mountain towns like Hanshan Town. After all, alien beasts are not low in intelligence and know that they are well-equipped A powerful human army is not easy to provoke. The last time a strange beast attacked Dingbian City, it already made Mu Hanyan feel a little strange. This time, it directly attacked the heavily fortified border fortress and slaughtered all the soldiers.
From the wounds on the soldiers, it was not difficult for Mu Hanyan to imagine the intensity of the battle and the power of the alien beasts.
"Go, go back." Mu Hanyan didn't stay, and quickly rushed towards the border fortress of Anyun Kingdom across the canyon.
Just like the situation here, all the soldiers in the fortress died unexpectedly, and the death conditions were horrible.
Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of something. The old city lord of Hanshan Town only mentioned that there were alien beasts attacking the city in Anyun, but he did not mention that the frontier fortress was destroyed by alien beasts. In other words, it was because they left Hanshan It happened after the town. If her father made her return to An Yun because of the strange beast, the situation would be even more critical after she left Shangyue and returned to An Yun these days.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan became even more anxious, and rushed towards the capital with Huayue and others without stopping.
Speeding all the way along the ancient business road, a few days later, Fangjia Village appeared in sight.
Today's Fangjia Village is no longer the remote and desolate mountain village of the past. Under the management of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce and the owner of the Fang family, it has already become a town, and its name has been changed to Fangjia Town. A city wall was built around it. Although it is not as tall and majestic as the city wall of Shangyue Kingdom, it still looks a bit imposing.
From a distance, Mu Hanyan noticed that the atmosphere in the town was a bit weird, without the bustling bustle and bustle of the past. In the silence, there was a sense of lifelessness, which made people feel inexplicably depressing.
"Who are you? Why are you here at this time? Enter the city quickly, hurry up!" Seeing Mu Hanyan galloping towards him, the guards guarding the city wall shouted anxiously.
Before the words were finished, several guards rushed out of the city wall, pushing and pulling Mu Hanyan and others into the town. These guards are all new faces. Judging from the logo on their clothes, they should be newly recruited by the Southern Tobacco Chamber of Commerce, and they don't recognize Mu Hanyan.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Huayue and Zirong stood in front of Mu Hanyan at the same time. If it weren't for the logo of the Southern Tobacco Chamber of Commerce embroidered on their skirts, there was no malice in their expressions, and the two of them almost drew their swords.
"Aren't you from Fangjia Town?" a guard asked.
"Let's go to the capital." Huayue said.
"The capital? We can't go there. Hurry up and hide in the town, or don't blame us if you lose your life." A guard didn't care what happened, and continued to drag them towards the town.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Mu Hanyan knew that they had good intentions, and also had a premonition that something serious happened to Fangjia Village. After thinking about it, she followed them into the town.
Although the matter in the capital is urgent, the Mu family does not lack experts. Grandpa Mu Beichen, the Supreme Elder, and the Third Elder are all stronger than her. When something happened that even they couldn't handle, she might not be able to help if she rushed back, and she was not in a hurry.
