Although this was the first time she had acted, and she was once just an ordinary peasant woman, Lady Li had always known that the way of the world was to eat people.
Towards this group of horse bandits, she did not have the slightest bit of pity. Although she did not have deep feelings for Huangshi Village, her deceased husband was still born here.
If she had not coincidentally brought Li Chou back today to burn incense and visit the grave, the people of Huangshi Village would most likely have died in the hands of this group of horse bandits.
The smell of blood, along with the wind, floated between the noses of the crowd.
The village head of Huangshi Village and the others revealed expressions of disbelief.
After only following that immortal for a short period of time, Lady Li actually had this kind of unfathomable ability?
Could it be that today, Lady Li was also an immortal?
For a moment, respect, envy, and all kinds of emotions grew in the hearts of the crowd.
And the leader of the horse bandits, who was known as the Great Desert Grey Wolf, was scared silly by the scene of his subordinate dying.
Outside of Huangshi Village, the young general stared dumbfoundedly at Lady Li. The soldiers that he had brought along also found it hard to believe that a living person, in the blink of an eye, had been beaten into pieces.
What kind of method was this?
"Boss, boss, she, she is a monster!"
A horse bandit said, trembling with fear.
"Monster, what monster is a monster! How can there be a monster in this world! Take her down, quickly take her down! "
The leader of the horse bandits shouted angrily.
Lady Li suddenly turned around to look at the leader of the horse bandits, but before she could make a move, Li Chou had already struck out with her palm, directly sending the leader of the horse bandits flying. He landed heavily at the feet of the soldiers outside the village, unconscious.
All of the horse bandits were stunned. In the next second, the weapons in their hands slipped and fell to the ground. Their limp bodies were no longer enough for them to stand, so they all sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, the villagers of Huangshi Village hurriedly stood up, but no one dared to greet Lady Li. Lady Li also ignored them, only bringing Li Chou to the back of the village.
When the figures of Lady Li and Li Chou disappeared from everyone's sight, the young general finally reacted and immediately shouted, "Take down all of the horse bandits!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, all of the horse bandits were captured alive.
After experiencing this strange thing, they had already lost the desire to resist.
"General, just now those two … Don't worry about them, call the village head over."
The young general said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Before long, the village head of Yellow Stone Village arrived in front of the young general.
Everyone looked at him with a strange look in their eyes. They did not dare to treat him as arrogantly as they treated the commoners. There was a trace of caution in their eyes.
"Sir General, this old man is the Village Chief of Huangshi Village. What instructions do you have for me?"
The village head of Huangshi Village cupped his fists.
"Elder, you don't have to be so polite. I would like to ask, those two just now are …" the young general said carefully.
"You're talking about Madam Li and her daughter Li Chou. Oh, it's like this …" The village head of Yellow Stone Village explained the situation with a complicated expression.
When the young general and the others found out that Madam Li was just a bedridden farmer's wife, but she was rescued by an immortal and even followed the immortal to the mountains, their expressions became incomparably interesting.
"Cultivator, it must be a cultivator …" the young general muttered to himself.
He had heard of this legend before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he did not believe it. He did not expect that in this remote and desolate place, there would be traces of immortals! "Does that Immortal live in this mountain?"
The young general pointed at the mountain range behind Huangshi Village.
The village head of Yellow Stone Village quickly nodded.
"Elder, do you know where the immortal lives?"
The young general hesitated for a moment before asking.
The village head of Yellow Stone Village was stunned for a moment, then he quickly shook his head.
Although he knew that it was very likely to be in that Taoist temple, without the permission of the immortal, how could he dare to expose this place?
The young general was not disappointed. When he asked the question, he actually already knew the answer. How could a normal person know where the immortal lives?
If he wanted to know, he could only ask the mother and daughter. However, with just a light wave of their hand, one of the horse bandits was seriously injured and another died. Such a method made him not dare to approach without permission.
"Sir, I advise you to leave quickly. Don't offend Madam Li and the others."
The village head of Yellow Stone Village saw the young general's expression and knew what he was planning, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.
The young general was silent for a moment, but in the end, he did not go to find Madam Li and Li Chou. Instead, he brought his subordinates and escorted the horse bandits away.
"Sir, why don't you go ask those two? They are immortals, if we are lucky enough to obtain the favor of an immortal …" "Impudent, do you think it is so easy to obtain the favor of an immortal?
Don't covet an opportunity that does not belong to us, lest we bring trouble upon ourselves. Pretend that you did not see what happened today! "
The young general shouted coldly.
Everyone was slightly startled.
The soldier beside him subconsciously looked at the group of horse bandits. "Sir, even if we don't say anything, then they …" "Kill them on the spot."
"Yes!"
Accompanied by miserable howls, the horse bandits died one by one under the saber. Carrying their corpses and heads, the group returned to the prefecture city.
When they returned to the prefecture city, the prefectural magistrate had already brought people to welcome them. When they and the surrounding commoners saw the corpses of the horse bandits, they all cheered.
"General Lin, I knew that with your help, the horse bandits would have nowhere to run!"
The prefectural magistrate, Xu Zijing, immediately greeted the young general with a smile.
"Sir Xu, fortunately, I did not disappoint you."
The young general nodded slightly, then he changed the topic. "My men are also tired, so we will not stay here any longer. We will return to the Prince's Residence."
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your help this time, General Lin. I hope that General Lin can pass on my regards to the Princess."
Xu Zijing was startled at first, then he hurriedly nodded.
The other party was a trusted subordinate of the Prince's Residence. This time, when he found out that the Desert Wolves planned to raid the prefecture city, Xu Zijing had no choice but to send a message to the Prince's Residence in hopes of getting help.
He did not expect that the Desert Wolves would be exterminated in such a short period of time. This showed how powerful the Prince's Residence was.
"General Lin, this is your expenses for the journey."
Xu Zijing suddenly approached General Lin and stuffed a silver note into his hand.
The young general glanced at it, then returned the note to Xu Zijing. He said calmly, "I am receiving my salary from the Prince's Residence, so there is no need for Sir Xu to worry. Farewell."
With a command, the young general led the bloodstained soldiers away on their horses.
Xu Zijing was stunned for a moment, then he could not help but shake his head. "The Han Residence's military is as strong as steel, it is not a lie."
"Sir, that is the head of the Desert Wolves. Should we immediately send it back to the capital?"
One of the subordinates asked in a low voice.
Xu Zijing nodded slightly. "I will write a letter later and send it back to the capital with the head. But don't let anyone know that the Han Residence helped out this time. Also send the order to everyone to be tight-lipped. That person in the capital does not like the Han Residence. If they know that the Han Residence has such elite troops, they may bring trouble to the Han Residence."
"Yes, Sir!"
