Chapter 621

After a long and arduous journey, Bai Feng finally arrived at a small village in the northernmost part of the Wei Empire.

If he continued north, he would reach the Frigid Lands.

After that, he would have to continue south to reach the Qiang Tribe.

After all, the Qiang Tribe and the Central Plains were already at odds. Bai Feng would not foolishly travel from Western Liang to the Qiang Tribe.

If he traveled by the northernmost route, he would only have to pass through a small part of the Qiang Tribe's territory before he reached the location stated on the mission.

That way, he would at least be able to avoid the Qiang Tribe's sight.

If he was discovered by the Qiang Tribe, it would be troublesome.

Because it was getting late, Bai Feng decided to stay in this small village for the time being.

The people in the village all looked at Bai Feng with a strange look in their eyes.

This was a bitterly cold place. Even though they had immortal grain, it was not as bad as the villagers thought.

However, these villagers were constantly harassed by the Qiang Tribe, and not a single one of them had a smile on their faces.

"Elder, may I know where the village chief is?"

Bai Feng wandered around the village but could not find a place to stay. He could only stop an old man and ask.

The old man looked at Bai Feng and said, "I am the village chief.

"I am the Village Chief. May I know what esteemed guest is here for?"

Bai Feng smiled faintly.

"I'm just a passerby. I'd like to ask if there's a place to stay in this village."

The village chief smiled faintly.

"A place to stay?"

"Hehehehe, this is the first time I've seen a passerby stay in our village."

"There's no place to stay in this village. Please go elsewhere, esteemed guest."

Bai Feng was a little confused.

"Elder, why do you say that?"

The village chief's expression turned grave.

"This place is constantly harassed by the Qiang Tribe. Who would dare to come here?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the King of Wei had distributed the immortal rations to this place, we would all have starved to death."

Bai Feng was confused.

"Didn't the King of Wei have soldiers stationed at the borders?"

"Why are you still being harassed by the Qiang Tribe?"

The village chief chuckled bitterly.

"Soldiers? These soldiers are all cowardly. How would they dare to resist the Qiang Tribe? "

"If they had half the strength of the Western Liang City Guards, our village would not be in this state."

Bai Feng frowned, and his expression darkened.

He didn't expect that the rumor he had heard while shopping was actually true!

Bai Feng clearly remembered that Cao Cao had sent many soldiers to various places to set up defenses a long time ago.

This was especially true for the northern region, which was bordered by many foreign tribes. It was the easiest place to be invaded.

That was why the northern region was the most important place, and Cao Cao had sent many soldiers there.

Recently, Cao Cao had ordered a lot of grenades to be sent over.

Logically speaking, these soldiers should have been able to fend off the foreign tribes in the north.

But how could this have happened?

Bai Feng vaguely remembered that Cao Cao had sent at least seventy to eighty thousand soldiers, if not a hundred thousand.

How could so many city guards not be able to defend a small mountain village?

Moreover, according to the village chief's words, the soldiers here did not seem to have any combat ability.

Could it be that Cao Wei's current prosperity was all fake?

But that didn't make sense. The previous city was still fine.

How did it end up like this at the border?

While Bai Feng was deep in thought, a man's shout suddenly rang out from somewhere.

"Oh no! Oh no! "

"The Qiang, the Qiang are coming!"

The villagers who had been standing beside Bai Feng immediately ran to the other side when they heard this.

Although they were extremely flustered, their retreat was orderly and skillful to the point that it made one's heart ache.

It seemed that these villagers had experienced this situation too many times.

The village chief also said hurriedly.

"Er Gou, Er Gou! Go get General Wang! "

The man called Er Gou shouted angrily.

"What General Wang? This Wang guy and his soldiers are all a bunch of good-for-nothings! "

"Chief, let's get out of here!"

Then, Er Gou hurriedly followed the crowd.

The village chief heaved a long sigh.

"Esteemed guest, you should also leave quickly. I see that you are dressed like a scholar, so you must be a scholar."

"If these Qiang people see you like this, they will torture you to death!"

Bai Feng's expression was extremely serious when he heard this, but he did not say anything.

Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream came from not far away.

Following that, a rough voice was heard.

"Hahahaha, these Central Plains dogs are just as the commander expected!"

"They always run away. This time, we'll attack from all sides. Let's see where they can run to!"

Bai Feng's expression darkened when he heard this. He hurriedly rushed toward the source of the voice.

Meanwhile, the village chief hurriedly hid in his house, not daring to breathe too loudly.

At this moment, Bai Feng swiftly arrived at the place where everyone had fled.

All the villagers who had fled earlier were now gathered together, not daring to move forward at all.

Bai Feng could not help but frown when he saw the scene in front of him.

He did not expect these Qiang people to be the same as the Xiongnu!

There were seven or eight corpses on the ground in front of him, and blood flowed like a river.

There were about twenty Qiang soldiers at the very front, all of them riding horses.

The Qiang man leading the group was still holding a large sword that was dripping with blood.

"Bring all the young women back! Don't leave anyone alive. Kill them all! "

Suddenly, the Qiang man leading the group roared. The twenty or so Qiang men cried out in agitation and charged toward the villagers with their large swords in their hands.

The villagers were completely scared out of their wits. They stood there blankly, waiting for their deaths.

Just as the first Qiang man was about to reach the villagers …

Suddenly, he felt an invisible force colliding with his horse.

Immediately after, the horse foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, dead.

The Qiang man was caught off guard and fell flat on his face.

Before he could get to his feet, a sword gleaming with a cold light pressed against his neck.

Slash!

With a crisp sound, the Qiang man's head was lopped off. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

The Qiang man next to him was dumbfounded by what he was seeing.

All of this happened in the space of a single breath!

The Qiang man leader glared at the person in front of him.

This person was none other than Bai Feng.

The person in front of him was dressed in a scholar's robe that was as white as jade. His robe was stained with a few drops of blood, and he appeared to be in his early twenties.

The Qiang man leader roared.

"Kill this person!"

With that, all of the Qiang men charged at Bai Feng.
