Bai Feng stood motionless in front of all the herdsmen, watching with a stern expression as the men and horses of Wuchuan Town disappeared to the edge of the grassland. It wasn't until he was confirmed that they had left that he heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked among the herdsmen who warmly welcomed him.
The bald elder led the crowd to send all kinds of compliments: the men praised the young swordsman as the hero of the tribe, while the women all cast their eyes favorably.
But Bai Feng didn't pay much attention to this, and just asked the bald elder: "Where are the people who were injured by the arrow just now?"
After hearing the answer, Bai Feng immediately set off to look for Tuoba Guang and Murong Yan.
Along the way, many herdsmen came to give their gifts to express their sincere gratitude. This is probably because the arrogant and domineering treatment they suffered from Wuchuan Town is not just a matter of a moment, but the result of years and months, and the accumulated negative emotions are difficult to bear. Be clear with your words.
And the young swordsman just happened to vent his anger on their behalf today and drove away Wuchuan Town Major General He Basheng who came to force a marriage and steal the bride. Such kindness naturally earned him the courtesy of an honored guest.
Although more and more good intentions came to him, Bai Feng refused them all without exception. He didn't explain too much and just went to visit Tuoba Guang and Murong Yan. Perhaps this is an action to tell the herdsmen: "Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning."
Bai Feng found the tent where the sick and wounded were being cared for. Before he could get close, he saw Zhao Xiaomei standing in front of the tent waving to him from a distance.
The younger sister stepped forward with extraordinarily passionate curiosity and asked: "Mr. Bai, who are those people? How did you drive them away? It's all my fault that he didn't let me go out and take a look..."
Bai Feng replied: "As your brother said, that group was led by the Heba brothers and sisters in Wuchuan Town. As for how they were driven away, it was just a matter of killing, but they didn't cause much trouble, so they left in despair. He ran away, I’m afraid my little sister will get bored if she goes out.”
After hearing this, the younger sister had no choice but to give up and bring Bai Feng into the camp.
At this time, the camp was full of people, and most of them were old, weak, women and children. They must have hurriedly hid here after hearing the news that Wuchuan Town was bringing people and horses to cause trouble.
Among them, Murong Yan was pulling out the arrow from Tuoba Guang's body with the help of others, and then treating the injury.
Don't you know that there is a young soul hidden in that seemingly tough and fierce body?
Tuoba Guang just kept crying out in pain, lying on the ground and rolling around. No matter who goes up to hold down his body, they will inevitably encounter pointless resistance and be forced free by Tuoba Guang.
His round and strong body has pushed away countless people who were kind and helpful, and many people even suffered injuries due to bumps.
Zhao Kuo, who had been thinking secretly just now, noticed that Bai Feng had finally returned, and then he asked the girls surrounding Tuoba Guang to disperse, intending to work with the young swordsman to control the wild horse in front of him.
The two of them each controlled Tuoba Guang's hands and feet, almost using all their strength. After a while, Murong Yan finally took out the broken arrowhead. Although her hands were covered in blood, no one would associate Murong Yan with the executioner whose hands were also covered in blood.
After handling this matter, Zhao Kuo immediately told everyone the news that the invading Wuchuan Town troops had retreated, dispersed the rest of the people in the camp, and gave Murong Yan a quiet place. Then he left a few familiar friends waiting outside the tent and stopped to chat.
After learning the news, a group of people headed by Lou Jinghua planned to leave here quickly and enter Yuyi Town, so they talked to Zhao Kuo about the matter: "Brother Kuo, you see it is so dangerous outside, why don't you hurry into the town? If If I meet those barbarians again, I will definitely be kidnapped and used as a 'bride'."
"That's right. I thought your home was a good place, but I didn't expect it to be even more unreasonable than the people in the Central Plains!" Ajuan responded: "The people in the Central Plains at least know etiquette, justice and shame, and they know how to do bad things secretly. You Beizhen people He's very 'free and unrestrained', he obviously wants to rob me, but he doesn't even ask about other people's wishes!"
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo sneered helplessly: "Hahaha... What's 'bride grabbing'? This is just an excuse for Wuchuan Town to come to establish their power. You don't know that the situation in Beizhen is urgent now, and Wuchuan intends to unite with the other six towns. Forming a coalition is nominally to unite the forces in Beizhen to strengthen the containment of Rouran, but in fact it is to embezzle our land and then plot the world!"
"Yeah... Now, we are the only ones in Yuyi Town who are still resisting." Zhao Xiaomei sighed with a slight disappointment, and then said: "Woye, Huaishuo, Huaihuang, Fuming, and Rouxuan have all joined forces with us. Wuchuan Town has concluded an alliance, and in the past year, it has been plotting against Yuyi Town's land, and both father and town general Yao are very troubled by this."
"Is it possible that Wuchuan Town is going to recreate the 'Seven Towns Rebellion' ten years ago?" Bai Feng said doubtfully: "The situation is critical now. It is not the time to blame each other. If you want to return to Yuyi Town, I'm afraid you have to set off as soon as possible. That's what the saying goes, 'Soldiers are more valuable than speed'."
"It's still half a day away from Yuyi. We'd better wait for Brother Tuoba and the others to come back before setting off." Zhao Kuo replied: "If He Basheng knew that I was here, he would definitely not let us go easily. .”
After some discussion, they finally decided to stay put and wait for Tuoba Yan, who had gone out to exterminate the wolves, to return before making any plans.
During this period, Murong Yan also fulfilled her duties as a doctor. Although Tuoba Guang almost fainted from the pain, the wound was sutured smoothly. Just after that, some weird things happened.
Murong Yan found that Tuoba Guang had been playing with the broken crossbow arrow carefully, muttering something, his expression dull and lifeless, as if he was dreaming.
I just heard him keep repeating: "I have seen it, I have seen it, this arrow, I have seen it..."
In order to know the profound meaning of these words, she doubtfully ran outside to seek help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the tent, he saw Bai Feng teaching swordsmanship in front of several young children. According to others, this was because the children, after witnessing Bai Feng repelling powerful enemies, insisted on pestering him to learn exquisite swordsmanship to protect their families.
Bai Feng, who is usually extremely restrained in dealing with others, is now uncharacteristically lecturing while dancing with his sword with great interest: "Zhuangzi has a saying, if you are a sword, you should show it's weakness, open it to benefit, and then use it to expose it. , come first."
A child with two pigtails asked, "Who is Zhuangzi?"
Bai Feng smiled and replied: "Zhuangzi was a man from a long time ago. He was very powerful and passed down many exquisite classics..."
Seeing Bai Feng chatting and laughing with the children, Murong Yan immediately recalled Tuoba Guang. So she went over with a smile and called the young swordsman out from the crowd of children, and said: "Brother Feng, go and take a look at A Kuang. He always stares at the crossbow arrow, not knowing which arrow it is." The special shape may be due to other reasons.”
Bai Feng happily agreed, and then asked the children behind him to memorize the formula just taught before he was willing to leave his "little apprentices".
