The noon sunlight had already moved to the side of the mountain. After four hours had passed, the people tied to the tree woke up one by one. Antuzo woke up as well, but he was currently tied up on the tree, unable to move.

The dazed Antuzo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the thick rope tied around his body. Then, he lifted his head and saw some strangers sitting in front of him. There was an indescribable joy on their faces, like a group of wild beasts that had caught their prey. There was joy in their eyes.

The jade pendant hanging from his waist was also swaying happily. Pang You, who had a sense of accomplishment, looked at the Antuzo tied to the tree, who was still in a daze due to the sweat medicine, and revealed an unreadable smile.

"Good, Lord An. I did not expect to see such a hero galloping across the battlefield today." Pang You looked at Antuzo and said, "Lord An, who is willing to surrender his armor and return to the field, is unwilling to become an official. He's willing to follow General Yuchi and give up on his wealth."

"Who are you people? Why are you trying to harm us?" Recovering from his stupor, Antuso glared furiously at the magnificent figure before him.

"We are just merchants who want to use you to travel to Ziyang." Pang Yu walked away. "I wonder if Lord An is willing?"

"Hmph." Let us go. We are people of the imperial court. " Antuso said angrily.

"Hehe, Master An, don't be so agitated. I know that you are helping the imperial government transport the grain to Lingyang City, but we are also heading there at the same time." Pang You calmly said.

"The world is vast, and there is nowhere that we can't reach the sun." The way to the sun was a secret, and no one knew about it. Why would such a strong person know about it, and how would they know about the tea shop in the little hut? Could it be that someone from the inner circle had leaked the secret? Antuzo looked around at the people who were tied up. There was not a single missing person among the twenty-four, which meant that there was no possibility of revealing the secret route. Furthermore, these people were all carefully chosen by Lord Yuchi to escort the food supply. Antuzo found Lord Xue and Xi'er in a certain area. They were sitting there, grandfather and grandson, and their faces were pale with fright and fear. They were the ones who had drugged these people.

The terrified Xi Er tightly held onto her grandfather's hand. The old man's body was trembling, and Antuzo could tell that the father and son pair were clearly threatened by these two unknown evil people.

"But we're going where you're going." Pang You hit the nail on the head.

When Antuzo heard this, he was shocked for a moment before quickly coming back to his senses. He immediately recalled the words, "The jade horn is lost." They were going to the place where the dragon fountain was buried.

"You are committing a heinous crime." "That is a place no one can go near."

Pang You didn't care about Antuzo's words at all. He leisurely said, "I heard that we have to pass a few checkpoints to pass, and these checkpoints must have a secret message. So, we would like to ask for your help."

Antuzo's beard was trembling from anger. His body was tightly tied to a tree. "You guys are too arrogant." Antuzo looked around at the group of people. There were about twenty or so people. With just these twenty people, they wanted to go to Peng Yang. These crazy people made him feel at a loss.

"Arrogant? "Hehe, Senior An has said it's serious. We just want to go to the Mi Yang to take a look at the dragon fountain and see if it's the lifeline of the imperial government." Pang You chuckled.

"Then forgive me for not being able to help you." He was a soldier who had fought in the battlefield and had experienced hundreds of battles. How could he submit to such a rampant villain? Furthermore, this was a matter of betraying the imperial government. The dragon vein was the lifeline of the imperial government, and it was a god protecting the commoners.

"Haha, Lord An. You and I are both smart people. This is no longer up to you. All of your people are in my hands." Pang Yu said with confidence.

"Lord An, don't listen to him. Even if we die, we won't betray you, Lord Yuchi." Biao Han, who was tied up beside Antuzo, said angrily.

Pang You looked at the angry Biaohan. These people were even more stubborn than the one he imagined. That pair of eyes looked at him angrily, "Brother, what's the point of this? We are only admiring that lifeline, to visit and admire it. "

"I admire your loyalty to the imperial court and to General Yuchi, but our business cannot lose to you. If you don't do it, you'll be implicating your loyalty to the soldiers." Pang You's words seemed very low, but they approached closer and closer, attacking the calm Antuso's mental defenses.

Antuzo was pleased with these serene soldiers, and he ignored the whimsical stranger in front of him. This was because he knew that he had to protect the secret of his impending death, and only he knew the secret signal to pass the checkpoint.

Looking at Antuzo silently, Pang You said, "Master An, why are you so stubborn? You have to know that you guys are already powerless. If your food was not delivered to Lu Yang on time, I'm afraid that Yuchi Jin would have starved even if he wasn't happy. "

Antuzo knew that this person was trying to tempt him, but they would definitely not harm him, because what they wanted was a code that was written down in their heads. "Stop daydreaming, I am Antuzo."

"But that's not up to you." Pang You swept his wolf-sharp eyes over everyone.

Great Master Xue and his grandfather-in-law were so frightened that their bodies tightened, because they didn't know what this strong man was going to do next. His eyes were so scary, and when they refused to agree to let these people poison Master An's tea, they placed their shiny sabers against Xi Er's neck. What terrifying sabers.

All of a sudden, a few people came up holding a girl and two children. The child was about 15 or 16 years old, one of them had tears in her eyes, the other one had a frightened expression on his face, but he was looking at these people angrily. The woman was crying as she looked at the two frightened children, her body slightly trembling.

"Father." The girl cried out in panic.

"Qing'er, Yi'er." Antuzo's face was clearly filled with fear, because the people in front of him were his wife and children. Their hands were tightly bound and they were crying.

"Father." The boy called Yi'er looked at his father who was tied to a tree, and looked at his trembling beard.

"Yi'er, don't be afraid." Antuzo said to the child who had an angry look in his eyes.

"Master An, look." Pang You pointed at his wife and children who were being held tightly. "They are innocent. Look, what good children they have."

Pang You's move was really vicious, because everyone who knew Antuzo knew how much he loved his family. They were his everything.

"You can't hurt them." "You can't hurt them," I said.

Pang You smiled but didn't answer. He only turned his head to look at the frightened Antuzo's wife. Tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the dust at the corner of her mouth. The two children's eyes were like beasts trapped in a cage, fearful but also abnormally angry.

"Master An, we have to go to the place that we want to go. We just want you to lead us past those obstacles." Pang Yu said. He took the long whip from someone's hand. "Lead the way. Your family is safe and sound. The old one and the young one can return home unharmed. This whip is still yours."

At this moment, Antuzo's eyes were extremely sharp. However, under his sharp gaze, everything seemed to have been sharpened to the point of being devoid of edges. "Send my wife and child back."
