Lu Shaoqing’s suggestion was the best solution.

“Has Ping City ever been attacked by the Demon Clan?” Ji Fengyan asked suddenly.

Lu Shaoqing nodded. “The current City Lord of Ping City used to be a general of one army in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Because he was earlier injured in a fight against the demons, he retired from the battle lines and accepted the role of City Lord of Ping City. He retired from the military, so he naturally has methods of dealing with the Demon Clan. Ping City is ruled very strictly and the demons do not dare to intrude lightly.”

Ji Fengyan nodded slightly. “In that case, let’s send them there. Is Ping City far from here?”

“If we push our horses, we can be there in half a day.” Lu Shaoqing said.

When she heard this, Ji Fengyan immediately sent the two children to Ping City. However, the few soldiers from Blaze Army first needed to be escorted back to camp to continue their treatment, so Ji Fengyan ordered a few soldiers to escort them.

The Blaze Army soldiers left after thanking Ji Fengyan.

The two children were handed over to Linghe and the others.

Ji Fengyan checked the children’s condition and observed that their wounds were mostly grazes and only needed minor treatment.

The fact that they had been unhurt by the demons under such tragic circumstances, was proof that their parents had risked their lives to protect them.

Along the way, the children’s eyes never left Ji Fengyan. In their hearts, it was as if this slender figure had become a guardian spirit.

In order to sooth the two children, the rookies from Wolf Smoke Regiment tried to converse with the children. Through their conversation, they understood more about the children’s circumstances.

They were a pair of brothers.

The older brother was eleven years-old and was called Han Xiao. The younger brother was ten years-old and was called Han Yu.

They were originally orphans, but had been taken in by a couple who were farmers. However, today’s events had returned them to lonely and helpless orphanhood.

The brothers were naturally physically weak, so they looked younger than their actual age.

The rookies of Wolf Smoke regiment were only eighteen or nineteen-years old and were all half-grown youths. When they heard about the misfortune of the Han brothers, they could not help but grieve. They spent their time on the road trying their best to cheer up the brothers.

After meeting with such misfortune, the two children could not relax. Their expressions only showed a trace of peace when they saw Ji Fengyan.

Ping City was the only large city on the Plain of Corpses and was the only city guarded by soldiers. After the wanton destruction by the demons in recent years, the residents around the Plain of Corpses had been through fire and water. Ping City had become the final refuge of the residents in this area.

When the Demon Clan had demolished many villages, the homeless refugees could only flee to Ping City to seek a shred of peace.

Ping City welcomed these fleeing refugees. It not only took them in but also provided them with lodging and work, allowing them to settle into the city.

The main gate of Ping City was always wide open and many sentries guarded it as an unceasing stream of citizens passed through it. Since Ping City had been at peace for several years, the Demon Clan had never harassed the surrounding villages. This made the area seem especially peaceful and soothing, almost as if it did not exist in the tumultuous world.

When Ji Fengyan and the others reached Ping City, they saw many citizens entering and leaving the city. Her troop of a hundred armored men immediately attracted the attention of the citizens within the city.
