Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 367: Set out to rescue Lin Yuan

The little guy pouted his lips, probably because he was afraid that Gu Fengyue would ignore him, so he nodded obediently to indicate that he would not cry anymore.

"My father said that I will be a little man from now on, and little men cannot cry."

"Well, you are such a brave little man. Come, uncle will carry you to find your aunt."

The child was held obediently in Gu Fengyue's arms, and he rode his horse all the way to the vineyard. He first handed the child to Huang Cuizhu, and then went back to the yard to take out all the spiritual spring water that Song Chunlin had left here. When he returned to the front, Fang Siyi's family had already gotten up.

"Uncle Fang, these are for your self-defense. This water can keep a dying person alive. Remember, you must keep these two water bottles well. The entrance to the cellar that Chunlin dug for you was hidden. You take Fang Chen and Fang Yi, as well as the people next door, to pack up the important things and hide them inside. Now Linyuan City is surrounded by barbarians, and we have to bring most of the troops over. The White Tower is short of manpower, so you must protect yourselves. Unless you are sure that everything is safe, you must not leave the cellar. Do you understand?"

Fang Siyi had also experienced several barbarian invasions. This time, the barbarians only besieged Linyuan City and had not yet reached the White Tower, so he was not as nervous as Gu Fengyue. He just felt a little sorry for the grapes in the vineyard.

Fortunately, everyone was clear-headed. As soon as Gu Fengyue left, people in the two courtyards started to get busy. They were divided into three groups. One group rushed to transport water back to ensure that they would not die of thirst while staying in the cellar. One group was responsible for working overtime to make dry food. So many people were hiding in the cellar at the same time, and they couldn't start a fire underground, so they had to prepare food and water in advance. They didn't know how long they would hide underground, so they did as much as they could.

The remaining group of people were responsible for moving all the food and valuables that could be moved from the two courtyards into the cellar, vowing to never let those barbarians take advantage of them.

In order to ensure that the grapes in the vineyard would not become extinct, Fang Chen took his younger brothers and sisters to shuttle through the grape fields, leaving a few notes on each variety of grapes. In this way, even if the grapes were killed by the barbarians, they would not be afraid of extinction as they had branches in their hands.

After giving instructions to Putaoyuan's men, Gu Fengyue rode back to the government office as fast as he could. By then, Dou Duhu had already received the news.

"Are you going to bring all the Gu family soldiers with you?"

Gu Fengyue shook his head: "I will leave one third of the troops to guard Baita City. You call back all the soldiers in your hands and guard this side first. King Linyuan has already begun to entrust his son to others, which means the situation over there is critical and he may not be able to hold on any longer."

Dou Duhu was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed at those barbarians.

"These beasts come to rob us every spring when there is a shortage of crops. Now they have set their sights on Linyuan City. The military strength of Linyuan City is twice that of ours. What is the King of Linyuan doing? Can't he defend it like this?"

Gu Fengyue: "We can't defend it. Not only you and I know how important Linyuan City is, but those barbarians also know it. The troops stationed in Linyuan City are the largest among all border cities. If they can trap Linyuan City, I'm afraid those barbarians must have united to attack Linyuan together. In this case, how can Linyuan City be defended?"

Dou Duhu fell silent upon hearing this, but Gu Fengyue did not give him extra time to sigh. He hurriedly gave him a few instructions and immediately rode his horse back to the military camp. At this time, the Gu family army in the camp had already assembled. Many people were still unclear about what had happened, but when they saw the cold expressions of their superiors, they could not help but become nervous.

When Gu Fengyue came back and saw the neatly-organized team, he didn't say much nonsense. He simply talked about the siege of Linyuan City. Then he raised his arm and called out. The Gu family army immediately set out and began to head towards Linyuan City as quickly as possible.

On the same route, Song Chunlin rode his motorcycle at full speed, but the closer he got to Linyuan City, the more uneasy he felt.

"What's going on? I always feel like something bad is happening..." Song Chunlin's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He was unsure and stopped by the roadside urgently. He took a deep breath and then radiated his tremendous mental power in all directions. He was only a hundred miles away from Linyuan City at this moment. After Song Chunlin squeezed his mental power to the limit, he could vaguely "see" the direction of Linyuan City.

At this time, the Linyuan City was engulfed in flames. The mountain road leading to Tianchi was filled with corpses, including those of Dajing soldiers and barbarians. Song Chunlin could barely make out that there seemed to be Huns, Turks, and some soldiers from nomadic peoples he didn't recognize. The scene ended here.

Song Chunlin was so enraged by the horrific scene of corpses and blood that he was furious. He was not paying attention and suffered a slight backlash of his mental power. He held on to the motorcycle and spat out blood on the ground.

"Damn it, I haven't seen it clearly yet." After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Song Chunlin drank a mouthful of spiritual spring water. The sweet spring water had just gone down his stomach, but it hadn't had time to fully take effect. But Song Chunlin couldn't wait any longer. He rode his motorcycle again. This time he increased the speed to the fastest, speeding all the way, for fear that he would not be able to reach Linyuan City in time, and that Linyuan City would really be breached.

However, Song Chunlin was still a step too late. Just when he arrived at the territory of Linyuan City, the huge and indestructible door of Linyuan was finally pushed down by the barbarians working together. Although they also paid a huge price, when the door fell, all the barbarians cheered and screamed.

Song Chunlin thought to himself that this was bad, and then he rode his motorcycle all the way towards the city gate. The barbarians were confused when they heard the strange noise behind them, and when they turned around, they saw a young man riding a strange big thing, rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

These people had never seen the power of a car accident, so they held weapons and blocked Song Chunlin's path, trying to stop him. Unfortunately, he underestimated the strength of his body, and Song Chunlin, with his flexible movements, whizzed past the people. Those people were thrown to the ground by the motorcycle, and the excessive impact force caused many of them to lose their ability to move.

"Stop him! Quick, stop that brat!"

"Go ahead, stop that big guy!"

When these barbarians saw that the big guy could knock so many people away effortlessly, they felt more excited than scared. If only such a good thing could fall into their hands earlier, they wouldn't have to sacrifice so many people when it broke down the door.

Song Chunlin didn't care what these people were thinking. He rushed forward until he got into the city gate. Seeing that many barbarians had already poured into the city, he realized that he couldn't let these barbarians in anymore.

So he swung the back of the motorcycle and stopped directly. When those people saw him stop, they were secretly delighted and imagined how they would chop off the guy's head with one knife. But who would have thought that the next moment, the big guy who could walk by himself disappeared in the blink of an eye. Those who were far away thought they were dazzled, and only those who were close showed expressions of horror.

Song Chunlin picked up a sword casually and killed a barbarian with a "puff". While killing the enemy, he activated his supernatural powers. The mutant vines grew rapidly and came out from under the gate. Then everyone discovered something even more terrifying.

The two doors stood up by themselves!

Oh, no, it was pulled up by a bunch of wriggling ropes!

Well, this was even more terrifying. Many of the timid ones started to run away screaming, but were quickly caught up by Song Chunlin and hacked to death with a sword.

Song Chunlin held the sword in his hand, the blade of which was already a little bent, and he was almost killing gods and Buddhas. As long as there was a barbarian in front of him, he would aim at the opponent's vital points without hesitation, such as neck, heart, and head, just to kill him with one blow. Not long after, he actually created a vacuum zone around Song Chunlin.

At this moment, the gate was propped up again by a group of vines. Song Chunlin was afraid that the gate would fall down again, so he took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and gulped down a few gulps. After drinking, he immediately activated his supernatural power. The wildly growing mutated vines immediately blocked the entire city gate. The barbarians were initially frightened, then stunned, and after they reacted, they began to chop and kill the vines frantically. However, these vines were not simple plants. Under Song Chunlin's rage, they became extremely aggressive, and the way they killed people was to eat people.

It is already terrifying for a bunch of plants to eat people in public, not to mention that they can also strengthen themselves by "eating people". Every time they eat a person, the vines will become more luxuriant. As the vines eat more and more people, the attack range of the vines becomes larger and larger. At the beginning, they can still cut the vines with swords, but over time, the vines gradually become invulnerable to swords and guns.

The barbarians outside the city gate were trying to find a way to break through the range of the vines, while inside the city gate, Song Chunlin was holding a bow and arrow, using the vines to wander around the city and kill the barbarians who first entered the city.

When the original soldiers in Linyuan City first saw Song Chunlin, they all felt, like the barbarians, that he was not one of their own. It was not until Song Chunlin started killing the barbarians with a sword that some sharp-eyed people recognized Song Chunlin.

"It's Young Master Song! Great, he's a sharpshooter!"

"Really? But he doesn't have a bow and arrow, how can he shoot the enemy?"

"Don't make a noise. Don't you see that he is very good at chopping people with a sword?"

The people on the city wall had already begun to be exhausted. With the addition of Song Chunlin and Teng Man, they were like being injected with a shot of cardiotonic. They all tried hard to get up from the ground. The young man below was still fighting hard to kill the enemy. These men could not lose to a young man.

"Brothers, come on, drive these barbarians out of Linyuan City!"

"Drive them out of Linyuan City!"

"Kill!"

Seeing that the morale of Linyuan City was high, the barbarian leader who had suffered countless casualties due to the vines was extremely furious.

"What the hell is that thing? We've already pushed the door open. Hurry up and get those damn things out of here. I want to destroy the Linyuan Palace!"

The barbarians began to swarm forward, and the vines found it increasingly difficult to cope. Song Chunlin had to stop, hide in a corner, and frantically drink spiritual spring water. Then he activated his supernatural powers, allowing the vines to devour the barbarian corpses on the ground to replenish their consumption.

Song Chunlin was multitasking, and after killing most of the barbarians, he was obviously overwhelmed. However, his mental power detected that the situation in Linyuan Palace was critical, so he could only cheer up and use his mental power to go to Linyuan Palace.

He stepped on the mutant vines, climbing walls and flying over rooftops. When he met barbarians, he did not forget to command the vines to eat them. When he arrived at the palace, he happened to catch up with the last wave of barbarians who came to encircle the palace.

King Linyuan's confidants and soldiers were fighting hard at the door. Behind them was the tightly closed gate of the palace. Behind the gate were the servants of the palace. They held the gate tightly, fearing that the barbarians would break in.

"Who is it?" The confidant didn't see clearly and thought it was an assassin sent by the barbarians. Song Chunlin quickly threw out a high-intensity flashlight. The light of the flashlight instantly illuminated the surrounding night sky and made the surroundings bright.

Everyone's eyes were hurt by the sudden light. Song Chunlin seemed to have thought of something and quickly pointed the flashlight at the barbarians. He took out several more flashlights and gave them to the vines, directing them to use the flashlight to specifically shine on the barbarians' eyes.

Because the light of the high-intensity flashlight was too bright, the barbarians were blinded by it. However, the people on the confidant side saw that the barbarians could not open their eyes, and took the opportunity to launch a frenzied counterattack against the barbarians. They turned their backs to the light and slashed at the barbarians with their weapons again and again. These barbarians had almost no ability to resist when they could not see. With the addition of Song Chunlin, the situation was reversed in an instant.

After they finally hacked all the barbarians to death, the confidant collapsed to the ground exhausted. At this time, he had already recognized Song Chunlin. As for the strange things and weird plants that Song Chunlin took out, the confidant had no time to care where these things came from. The other person had just helped them escape death, so even if the other party was a monster, they would accept it.

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Song Chunlin immediately put away the flashlight. The mutated vines instantly dived into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then the confidant finally had the courage to ask Song Chunlin why he was here.

"Young Master Song, why are you here?"

Song Chunlin told him: "I came from Baita City. What's going on with you? Tell me in detail. Where is your prince? How come I didn't see him?"

Song Chunlin felt something strange when he entered the city. He did not see King Linyuan at the city gate, nor did he see King Linyuan in King Linyuan's palace.

The confidant raised his hand with difficulty, pointed at the towering mountain, and slowly said: "There, on the mountain, the prince has been guarding the most important checkpoint in Linyuan City."

Song Chunlin was shocked: "There? Are you saying that your prince has been on that mountain all the time?"
