Chapter 304: The Shen Family in Crisis

When Lu Fang was riding fast all the way back north, in the city of Yanzhou in the north, Shen Yue led a large army to fight against the Hu Di people who were stationed in Yanzhou.

On the city wall, Jueluo Luo's face turned dark as he watched the fluttering Shen-shaped flags gradually forming a siege on Yanzhou City below.

"They are all a bunch of useless people who can't even handle a small matter. This kid Shen Yue, humph, I really underestimated him!"

Thinking of the successive defeats and the fact that Qijier's plan had not yet worked, Jueluo Luo's heart was in a frenzy.

In today's battle in Yanzhou, 70% of the main forces of their royal court and the united tribes had to retreat here. Once defeated, they would no longer be able to take over Dajing and would have to retreat to the grassland and never advance again. As for themselves, they would have to die to apologize to the king, the royal court, and the various tribes. After all, so many warriors had died, and someone had to take the responsibility. How could Juelu Luo be willing to accept this?

But even if they were unwilling, the current situation was not favorable for them. There were no reinforcements, and there was not even any extra food in the city. Even the two-legged sheep in Dajing were not many, and it was not enough to eat. So...

Just when Jueluo Luo was anxious and worried, feeling that his hero's road was over, suddenly, a close confidant hurriedly came from the foot of the city, passed the heavy guards, leaned close to Jueluo Luo and whispered something in his ear. Jueluo Luo's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly grabbed the man's collar and asked anxiously.

"Really? Did Qi Jier really bring all of Shen Yue's family members to me?"

The visitor did not dare to resist and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Marshal, this is absolutely true. Lord Qi has just escorted the Shen family and Lord Bogot personally led the cavalry into the city secretly from the east gate. They are waiting in the East Gate City now. What do you think?"

"Hahaha, good, good! I didn't expect that Qijier is quite useful and didn't disappoint me. Hahaha, come with me and have a good meeting with the Shen family. I want to see what kind of people can raise a man-eating wolf cub like Shen Yue."

Jueluo Luo led a group of his men and marched from the south city wall to the east city, went down the city wall, and arrived at the city wall. At a glance, they saw the men and women of the Shen family who were surrounded by Bogot's men in the center of the crowd. They looked tired but extremely stubborn.

Jueluo Luo's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the front, squinting to look at the more than a hundred people in front of him, and his gaze finally stopped on a dignified-looking woman, who was the leader of the group.

This woman is really strong! Her character has not been damaged by days of bumpy ride and fatigue. It's a pity that she is the mother of a wolf cub.

Jueluo Luo carefully looked at Shen's mother, who was holding a little daughter of the same age as Li Yaoguang in her arms. She looked very similar to Shen Yue in facial features. Without Shen's mother saying anything, Jueluo Luo smiled first, feeling satisfied, and asked solemnly in the poor Dajing Mandarin.

"But is Shen Yue's mother, Madam Shen?"

Faced with the man who suddenly rushed in front of her and looked like a big bear, Mrs. Shen hid her daughter behind her, her back straight and her pride natural, but she did not answer.

However, Jueluo Luo did not care about Shen's mother's attitude. The more she didn't answer, the happier Jueluo Luo was. His eyes lingered on the Shen family, and together with the wolf-like laughing dogs around him, the men in the Shen family were still okay, but the women were trembling with fear in their hearts.

Seeing this, the men took action secretly, trying to hide the women behind themselves and take on the responsibility of protecting them. Unfortunately, they had entered the territory of the barbarians, and how could their mere flesh and blood bodies stop them?

Laughing, sarcastic, and covetous eyes swept towards the Shen family. Shen's mother was furious. She hid her trembling daughter behind her more tightly and glared at Jue Luoluo.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in bringing us here?"

“What do you want to do?” Jueluo rubbed his bald forehead, touched the curly beard on his lips, and said mockingly in clumsy official language: “Hahahaha, Madam Shen, it doesn’t matter who I am. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say who you are. What matters is that I am very much looking forward to the surprised look on the face of that wolf cub Shen Yue when he sees you outside the city later. Tsk tsk… I just don’t know if the wolf cub will still have the same prestige as before when the mother of the commander-in-chief of an army falls into the hands of the enemy, hahahaha…”

Laughing happily, the Hu dogs around him also laughed triumphantly. Looking at the Shen family members huddled together and trembling in defense, Jueluo Luo was particularly satisfied. He waved his hand and said in a Hu Yu voice, "Come on, take all these people to the south city wall. Today, I want to have a good meeting with the so-called Dajing God of War!"

"Here."

Following Jueluo Luo's order, a team of Hu Gou soldiers with a strong odor came out, drew their scimitars, and pushed the Shen family members up to the city wall.

For a moment, children were crying, children were afraid, and fear was written in the eyes of the men of the Shen family.

Shen's mother secretly watched all of this and felt sad. She was even more puzzled because the emperor had clearly compromised and issued an order to send their family north to reunite with Yue'er. They had a smooth journey and she thought that the Shen family's suffering was over. But why?
Why did all the people in my family, young and old, more than a hundred people, fall into the hands of Hu Gou?

Whose people are those who protect them? The emperor? Or...

Shen's mother was puzzled as she had no idea of ​​the emperor's behind-the-scenes manipulations, nor did she know that her group had been transferred to Prime Minister Qin, who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

But now was not the time for her to think too much. She was in the enemy camp, being pushed up to the city wall by a group of ferocious and terrifying Hu dogs. Listening to the sorrowful cries of her clansmen, Mother Shen held her daughter tightly with one hand, looked at her nephews and nieces, and the group of frightened clansmen behind her, and said loudly.

"Don't cry! Everyone, don't cry! As a member of the Shen family, we should have the backbone of the Shen family. My father, my father, and my son all fought for Dajing. As their descendants, relatives, and clansmen, how can we lose face for the Shen family?

Everyone, listen carefully. The ancestors of the Shen family are watching from heaven. I believe that none of them would like to see their younger generations become spineless, lose their courage, and lose their integrity!
Everyone who is a member of the Shen family, cheer up. We can be cowardly and afraid, but we must never show fear in front of the enemy, let alone beg for mercy. Because even if we are cowardly and beg for mercy, these inhumane beasts will never let us go. They will only make fun of our Shen family's cowardice and laugh at the Dajing people for being spineless.

In this case, everyone, hold back your tears! Even if you can't hold back your tears, you have to wait until your brothers lead the army to break down the city gate and kill these bastards before you cry. Believe me, Yue'er will come to save us."

After hearing this, the Shen family was shocked, and they couldn't help but feel longing, hesitation, and expectation.

Really? Will their cousins ​​(brothers, nephews) come to rescue them?

Jueluo Luo, who was walking in the front, saw that Shen Yue, the wolf cub's biological mother, calmed the tribe members with just a few words, and he felt more and more that this woman was not simple.

It really is true what Dajing said, like mother raises like wolf cubs!

It’s just a pity that such a mother wolf and her wolf cubs are not from their tribe, but were born in the cowardly Dajing. It’s such a pity!

But it was also interesting. He wanted to see if the mother and son would meet on the city wall later. He wondered if the mother wolf could still be as calm and composed as she was now? And he wondered if the wolf cub under the city could still be as decisive and brave as before?
Really looking forward to it!

The more Jueluo Luo thought about it, the more excited he became. He did not even stop Shen's mother. The corners of his lips curled up under his beard. He led a group of people up the city wall and arrived at the top of the south city tower. He stretched out his hand to the people escorting behind him. Bogot and Qijier understood what he meant, and they personally separated Shen's mother and her daughter and brought Shen's mother to Jueluo Luo.
