Chapter 54: A Thought of Benevolence

  "Hooligans don't count as people." Baili Fengyi cursed and stormed out of the door.

  The crowd saw the situation and hastily got up to follow, arriving at the gate to find a team of barbarian officials and soldiers riding war horses rushing from the east end of the street. These barbarian soldiers ran their horses on the streets without slowing down, recklessly charging forward, causing the villagers to be frightened, dropping their baskets and poles, and hastily dodging to both sides of the road.

  Judging from the situation, this group of barbarian soldiers were just passing through the town to attend to something elsewhere and not charging towards the crowd. The shop owners' panic was only because they had been frightened by them before and became like startled birds.

  "Don't take action, lest you implicate the villagers." Mo Xun saw that many people were clenching their fists and rubbing their palms, eager to take action, so he hastily spoke out to stop them.

  "How can you be so arrogant and yet expect me to tolerate it?" Baili Kui Feng let out a cold snort, flashed out of the shop door, and stood in the middle of the road, glaring furiously at the approaching Hu soldiers.

  The other five people were speechless for a moment, hesitating and unsure whether to take action or let it go.

  At this time, Hu Bing's horse had already rushed to the front, and Hu Bing on the horse did not pull the reins, but shook the reins and galloped straight towards Baili Kuangfeng.

  A hundred miles of fierce wind stared angrily at the tall horse rushing forward, and when it rushed to the front, its right arm suddenly swung straight to the horse's head, "Get down for Master Tao."

  Baili Kuangfeng was originally tall and powerful, but after learning the Wind Ghost Fist, his speed became even faster, his power more profound. With one punch, he directly shattered the horse's head, causing the warhorse to suffer a fatal injury. In an instant, its front legs knelt down and twisted to one side, and Hu Bing, who was on the horse, was thrown off without warning and landed with a thud in the middle of the street.

  This Hú soldier was extremely ferocious, and after being knocked down, he didn't say a word. He drew out the long knife from his waist and started chopping horizontally. At this time, the other Hú soldiers who arrived later also drew out their battle knives, attacking Bǎilǐ Kuángfēng from both front and back.

  Baili Kuangfeng was surrounded by the Hú soldiers, but he didn't panic. With a backhand punch, he struck the falling Hú soldier's head, and with one punch, the Hú soldier let out a miserable cry and flew out, landing five feet away, spitting blood from his mouth, convulsing non-stop, clearly on the verge of death.

  "Let's work together." Ye Xiao shouted and rushed out to join the battle, this group of barbarians was not small in number, with dozens of riders, Bai Li Kuangfeng alone could hardly hold them off.

  Ajiu, Qiansui, Liu Song followed closely behind, Liu Shaoying hesitated for a moment before disappearing from view, it was clear that he had gone into hiding to join the battle.

  No one had expected that they would clash with the Hu people in less than an hour after descending the mountain, but by now, Baili Kuaifeng had already killed the Hu people, and everyone had become trapped, with no choice but to fight.

  "Old master, what am I doing?" Lao Wu grabbed Mo Xun who was about to rush forward.

  "You have no tactics to defeat the enemy, stay here and watch the luggage." Mo Wen turned around and rushed out.

  At this time, Baili Kufeng and others had already killed several Hu people. Due to the narrow streets, the later arriving Hu soldiers were unable to advance and join the battle, so they retreated with their longbows, intending to shoot arrows at the crowd.

  No longer seeing the longbow, he didn't ask if there was still some hesitation in his heart. As soon as he saw the longbow, he instantly thought of his mother who died under the longbow of the Hu people. In a fit of rage, he didn't show any mercy, quickly dodging to the side and using the wall on the opposite side of the street for leverage, turning around and pouncing on those Hu people drawing their bows.

  Seven people, although they were new to the battlefield, did not panic or show weakness when fighting against the Hu people. They remembered the teachings of Sima Fengxiao, who had instructed them that if they didn't take action, it was fine, but once they took action, they must be ruthless and show no mercy. Therefore, every move they made was aimed at the vital parts of the Hu soldiers, and their fists, palms, hooks, and claws were all deadly.

  These Huren cavalry horses have all been through the sandy fields and do not lose control during battles, only running away in a panic when the Huren on their backs fall off.

  "What's it to you? Get out of here quickly." But before he could ask, the old fifth was found holding a door bar and participating in the fight with the Hu people.

  "They're in cahoots with me, they've stolen my wife!" Old Five charged forward at the sound, swinging his wooden staff and knocking Hu Bing off his horse.

  Mo Wen heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, no longer drinking. He returned, Old Fifth had the Pursuing Wind Ghost Steps, self-defense should be without worry.

  Although Hu Bing was cruel and brutal, when he encountered the Taoist sect, he had no power to resist at all. After a moment, more than half of them were injured or killed. The Hu Bing troops behind saw that the situation was not good and turned their horses around, intending to escape.

  "Eliminate all evil, don't let a single one escape." Ye Xiangyang shouted loudly.

  The crowd had drunk wine before, and the accumulated resentment towards the Hu people was triggered at this time. Even if they didn't shout loudly in the night, the crowd would still chase and kill them. The war horses couldn't gallop freely on the streets, and under the crowded conditions, they couldn't run fast. The crowd accelerated their pursuit from behind, punching and kicking, pulling and throwing, killing with great relish.

  When the Hu people ran out of the town, only five riders were left. When they reached the open space, the Hu people desperately whipped their horses, and the crowd chased after them, killing four more people. Only one rider on a black horse was left, and because his horse was so fast, the crowd couldn't catch up to him. Just when everyone thought he was going to escape, Old Five caught up from behind, overtaking everyone with several dodges, accelerating hard to chase down the galloping black horse in front, and swung his club at the horse's leg as soon as he got close.

  That barbarian's black horse was indeed extraordinary, seeing Lao Wu wanting to hurt it, it suddenly stopped and kicked its hooves, Lao Wu dodged too late, ah, he was kicked flying. However, due to the black horse's sudden deceleration, the barbarian on its back was also thrown off, falling to the ground and rolling continuously.

  Don't ask about the safety of Old Five, rush forward to see if he was injured. Unexpectedly, before he could get close, Old Five got up and pounced on the fallen Hu man, repeatedly kicking him and trampling him to death, "Let you kill people, let you eat people, let you rob women..."

  That barbarian seemed to be a bear package, and he didn't even carry any weapons on him. Under Old Five's kick, he had no power to resist at all, and could only cover his head and endure it, unable to get up.

  The crowd rushed up afterwards, and Mo asked the front to hold onto Old Five. As the ancient saying goes, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated." One can kill the barbarians, but one cannot treat them cruelly; otherwise, it would be unbecoming of a gentleman's demeanor.

  "What's with this guy looking so familiar?" Baili Kuangfeng picked up the fallen barbarian, who was quite young and had a fair and delicate complexion. The clothes he wore were also more exquisite and expensive than those of the other barbarian soldiers.

  "The barbarians all look about the same." Xiao Yao glanced sideways at this young barbarian.

  "She's a woman," said Ajiu.

  "A woman?" Ba Li Kuang Feng raised his hand and knocked off the Hu person's hat, a head of black hair scattered down, indeed it was a woman.

  The woman of the Hu people was a bit taller than the Han women, and when she fell off her horse, her face was covered with dust. Therefore, at first, no one could tell whether she was a man or a woman. When they discovered that she was a woman, everyone was shocked and lost their color. What made them so surprised was not that she was a woman, but rather who she was.

  "What should we do now?" Ba Li Kuang Feng looked around at everyone.

  "My luggage is still at the wine house, I'll go back first, you decide." Liu Shaoying encountered a difficult problem and turned to run away.

  "Wait for me." Liu Song followed afterwards.

  "Hey, how can you throw hot potatoes at others?" Ye Xiao Yao chased after the two and left, without any intention of coming back.

  "Ah Jiu, Qian Sui, you..." Baili Kuangfeng turned his gaze to Ah Jiu and Qian Sui.

  "We are of a different kind and it's inconvenient for us to interfere with human affairs. You and Mo should deliberate on this." The two turned around and walked away.

  After everyone left, only the woman, Bai Li Kuang Feng and Mo Wen's master and servant were left in the field.

  "Old master, she is..." Lao Wu also recognized the woman and widened his eyes, stretching out his hand as if to reveal something.

  Don't ask, seeing the situation, he hastily signaled with his eyes for Old Five not to talk too much.

  "Don't ask, to kill or not to kill?" Ba Li Kuang Feng asked Mo Wen for advice. Everyone present had a deep hatred for the Hu people, but this person's appearance here made it highly likely that she was on her way to Wu Liang Shan. He wasn't afraid of killing the princess and provoking a pursuit, but if he rashly killed her, it would undoubtedly implicate the people of Wu Liang Shan. However, if he didn't kill her, she would report back and Zhao Guo would still pursue them.

  Mo Wen heard the words and frowned, shaking his head. The hundred-mile windstorm was not heavy in his heart. As soon as he spoke, he directly exposed his identity with both name and surname.

  The Huren princess was wearing a Huren outfit this time, and she had previously fallen off her horse and suffered minor injuries. She was kicked by Old Five and was quite frightened, but the girl was very tough and didn't cry out for help or beg for mercy. Instead, she turned her head and stared straight at Old Five, who had beaten her before.

  "Can you recognize me?" Mo Xun raised his hand and signaled for Baili Fengxiang to release her.

  The barbarian princess raised an eyebrow and looked at him for a moment, but didn't respond.

  "Where are you going?" Mo Wen asked again.

  "Wu Liang Mountain." The Hu princess finally spoke up, her voice small but not humble.

  Mo Wen heard the words and secretly frowned. Earlier, he had also guessed that this woman was going to Wuliang Mountain, but he didn't expect it to be true.

  "What are you talking nonsense with her for? Even if she's the princess of Zhao, I, Bai Li Kuang Feng, am not afraid of her. Let's just kill them both to avoid any leaks." Bai Li Kuang Feng said as he stepped forward, his right hand curled into a claw, directly grasping her throat.

  Without asking, he hastily flashed forward, pulling the woman three feet to the side, and in a flash of lightning, they narrowly avoided the deadly blow from the hundred-mile wind.

  "You're not thinking she's beautiful and want to cherish her? But she's a barbarian!" Ba Li Kuang Feng asked with wide eyes.

  The barbarian princess finally showed a frightened expression at this time, and it was unknown whether she was afraid of being recognized or because Baili Kuiwind really wanted to kill her. However, although she was afraid, there was no pleading expression on her face.

  "You go." Mo Xun didn't answer Baili Kuo Feng's question, but instead let go of the Hu Ren princess.

  "What kind of evil have you contracted? Releasing the tiger back to the mountain will bring endless troubles." Baili Fengji stepped forward, about to attack the Hu princess.

  "Can I make the decision on this matter?" Mo Xun blocked Baili Kui Feng.

  Baili Kuangfeng saw Mo Wuji protecting the barbarian princess and suddenly flew into a rage, but he naturally wouldn't attack Mo Wuji. In his anger, he shouted "Suit yourself!" and stormed off.

  Mo asked and immediately turned his head to glance at Lao Wu, and the two of them stepped back.

  "I know you." Just as they were about to leave, the voice of Princess Huren came from behind them.

  Don't ask, upon hearing the voice, he turned his head, only to see that the Hu princess was holding the reins of her horse and pointing south with her hand, "I have seen you before in the hunting grounds."

  "If it weren't for those two passes on that day, you would definitely not be alive today." Mo Wen raised an eyebrow and looked at her, then turned around and took the old man back to the small town.

  After the previous battle, the town was closed and deserted, with no one on the road. When Mo Xun returned to the wine house, he found that the couple had already run away, and everyone had packed their bags and was ready to leave.

  Everyone didn't say much about Mo Xun letting the Hu people's princess go, and Mo Xun didn't explain further. Since they had caused trouble, everyone parted ways here. Baili Kuangfeng, Ye Xiao, Liu Shaoying, and four others headed east, Ajiu went northwest, and Mo Xun and Lao Wuchan took a small road south...
