A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

The crowd had already gathered in front of the city lord's mansion and had been waiting for a long time.

"Uncle, Aunt, this matter must not be overlooked in the slightest."

Don't worry.

Although Zhang Huai did not explicitly state what he was referring to, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and the other two already knew perfectly well what he meant.

Only the others around him were completely bewildered, their faces full of doubt.

"Mom, what are you and Brother Zhang talking about?"

Guo Fu tilted her head and looked at Huang Rong curiously, asking a question.

"Stop asking questions, and don't meddle in things that aren't your business."

Huang Rong reached out and gently stroked her upturned nose, softly instructing her.

"oh."

Guo Fu obediently responded, then turned to look at Zhang Huai and secretly gave him a wink. Zhang Huai responded quietly without making a sound.

This subtle interaction was observed by Da Wu and Xiao Wu, who had been keeping a close eye on Guo Fu.

Xiao Wu lowered his voice and leaned close to Da Wu, saying, "Big brother, why is Fu-mei exchanging glances with him?"

Da Wu looked displeased and replied in a sullen voice, "You're asking me? How would I know?"

"Huai'er, please be careful on your journey."

Guo Jing held Zhang Huai's hand tightly and gave him repeated instructions.

"Uncle, don't worry, the person in this world who can hurt me hasn't been born yet."

Zhang Huai replied confidently and calmly.

"boast."

Wu Xiuwen couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

Unfortunately, Guo Fu overheard this, and she immediately turned her head and glared fiercely at Wu Xiuwen.

"Better than you."

Zhang Huai naturally heard Wu Xiuwen's words, but he was too lazy to argue with him. He simply cupped his hands in farewell to everyone.

"Take care, everyone. See you again in a while."

"Take care on your journey!"

"Take care on your journey, Brother Zhang!"

……

After saying goodbye, Zhang Huai immediately decided to return the way he came.

Meanwhile, in the city where Lu Wushuang and his companion were located, a large number of Mongol soldiers had already poured in, and the streets and alleys were filled with the gleam of iron armor.

A burly man in heavy armor sat upright in the main hall of the Duankuo Prince's Mansion. Looking at the horrific scene of corpses strewn across the ground, he slammed his wine cup to the ground.

"Have you found those two girls yet?!"

Seeing the man's sudden outburst of anger, the Mongol soldiers all knelt on one knee, silent and trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The man sitting on the table is none other than Uriyangkhadai, the strongest general in Mongolia's military at present.

He was the son of Subutai, a famous general who founded the Mongol Empire. He commanded countless battles, large and small, throughout his life and never suffered a defeat. Even Möngke Khan respected him greatly.

His army was originally stationed a hundred miles from Zhongnan Mountain. He had planned to send troops to attack and harass the Song army again, but suddenly received an urgent report from the soldiers guarding the city: the Duan Kuo Prince's Mansion had been completely wiped out in one day.

The whereabouts of Prince Duankuo himself are unknown, and his fate is uncertain.

Upon hearing this news, Uriyangkhadai immediately led a small number of elite troops to Xi'an, followed closely by tens of thousands of soldiers.

He knew in his heart that the Duan Kuo Prince's Mansion had a force of over a thousand men at his disposal, all of whom were the elite of the Mongol army. The fact that they could be wiped out in a single day meant that the strength of the newcomer must be extraordinary.

That's why he directly mobilized tens of thousands of troops.

From the Han Chinese people captured in the city, he only learned that he had seen two little girls who used the money they had stolen from the prince's mansion to help the people.

But Uriyangkhadai knew perfectly well that this could not have been done by just two people. There must be a powerful and efficient organization behind them, and the two girls were just pawns pushed to the forefront.

In this world, he had seen many righteous men from the Song Dynasty, but this was the first time he had ever encountered someone who dared to directly annihilate an entire Mongol prince's mansion.

This was clearly a blatant provocation against the Mongol Empire, a severe slap in the face to Mongolia.

As the greatest general of the Mongol Empire, Uriyangqatai knew that he had to defend the dignity of the Mongol Empire.

He sternly ordered his soldiers, his tone filled with a chilling, bloodthirsty intent: "Search the entire city! There are definitely more than two people; it's an organization of at least a hundred! The city gates are already sealed; not even a bird can fly out, let alone hundreds! Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

"yes!"

In the cellar of a dilapidated house, two stunningly beautiful women were hiding, but their faces were covered in dust, making them look dirty and much less radiant than before.

The two were Lu Wushuang and Yaoyue.

"Sister Wushuang, these Mongols are completely insane! If this continues, we'll be discovered sooner or later!"

Yaoyue dared not speak loudly, but her voice still betrayed her anxiety and panic.

Lu Wushuang gently patted her hand, trying his best to remain calm, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes: "Sister Yaoyue, don't panic. This place is extremely well hidden, and they won't be able to find us for a while. But given the current situation, I don't know how Brother Zhang will get into the city to find us."

She looked up and peered through the cracks in the cellar at the gray sky, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

Yao Yue quickly said, "Brother Zhang is very clever. He must have sensed something was wrong in the city before entering it. I just hope that Brother Zhang can find out the abnormality and will not enter the city."

Lu Wushuang sighed softly, "Alas, yes, there are at least ten thousand Mongol soldiers in this city. Even if Zhang Huai is incredibly skilled, what can he do if he rashly enters? He will only be throwing away another life."

"With Brother Zhang's abilities, as long as he doesn't enter the city, he'll be safe. It's already the third day since we agreed, so please, Brother Zhang, don't come."

After Zhang Huai left, the two distributed all the remaining money to the people, and then immediately found this place to hide, quietly waiting for Zhang Huai to return.

It was originally thought that it would take at least half a month for the Mongol army to react and arrive in the city, but no one expected that the army would be at the city gates in just three days.

By the time Lu Wushuang and her companion realized what was happening, it was too late to leave the city. They could only hide in the cellar, waiting for an opportunity to act. They thought that as long as the Mongol soldiers couldn't find them, they would eventually leave on their own, and then they could find a chance to escape the city.

Yao Yue prayed silently in her heart: Brother Zhang, please don't go into the city!

Fortunately, their hiding place was indeed well-hidden, and the Mongol soldiers would have no chance of finding it in a short time.

Moreover, the cellar also contained a lot of sweet potatoes, which were probably left over by local farmers during their harvest, so there was no need to worry about food at all.

The two only needed to occasionally sneak out and fetch some clean water from the well to make a living.

While the two women hid safely, the people in the city suffered.

Uriyangkhadai concluded that this operation was not the work of a few individuals and immediately ordered a large-scale arrest operation within the city.

Any Han Chinese who looked suspicious, or any civilians who had received relief money from Lu Wushuang and Yaoyue and had not yet left the city, were all arrested by the Mongol soldiers.

Those arrested suffered torture in prison and were eventually forced to confess under duress.

Some Mongol soldiers, driven by evil intentions, used the pretext of searching for and arresting people to extort money and abduct women in the city, committing all sorts of atrocities.
