That voice came from an unknown direction, but it sounded like a woman's voice.
It sounded ethereal, as if it had come from the horizon.
Before the Qiang commander could react, a series of explosions came from the horizon.
Countless claps of thunder blasted into the midst of the Qiang soldiers!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Several bolts of heavenly lightning struck and exploded not far away from Bai Feng.
Each bolt of lightning would kill several Qiang soldiers.
Both men and horses were reduced to charcoal.
"It's the Heavenly God! The Heavenly God is enraged! "
The Qiang soldiers were thrown into chaos.
Bai Feng was a good fighter and had killed many Qiang soldiers.
But without a doubt, it was not as strong as the fear of being punished by the heavenly thunder.
The Qiang leader frowned as if he had thought of something. He ran towards the northwest without a care for anything else.
The Qiang soldiers hurriedly retreated with their commander, afraid that they would be left behind.
Bai Feng had no intention of chasing after them.
There were still villagers here. If other Qiang soldiers came to ambush them, they would be in danger.
Soon, the Qiang soldiers retreated like the receding tide. The lightning bolts in the sky slowly disappeared.
The fierce wind suddenly stopped, and the heavy rain from earlier also slowly became lighter, turning into the initial drizzle.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes as he thought back to what had just happened.
That lightning …
Seemed rather familiar?
And that voice just now … it sounded very familiar.
Then, a voice came from behind Bai Feng.
"Mr Bai, long time no see."
Bai Feng spurred his horse around and was surprised to find a woman wearing a purple dress and a thin veil standing in front of him.
"Zhang Ning?"
Bai Feng recognized the person in front of her at a glance.
This person was undoubtedly Zhang Ning!
Zhang Ning's expression was calm as he looked at Bai Feng.
"Mr Bai, how did you find the time to come to the bitter north?"
Bai Feng only smiled.
"Thank you for your help earlier."
Bai Feng wouldn't answer Zhang Ning's question.
Otherwise, what else could he say?
He couldn't possibly say that he was here to kill Zhang Qing, could he?
If he said it out loud, Zhang Ning might even give him a bolt of lightning.
Zhang Ning waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. Even if you're not here, I'll still take action."
"Moreover, even if I don't make a move, with Mister's ability, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for you to deal with these small fries?"
Bai Feng could only let out a hollow laugh.
Although Bai Feng indeed had the ability to do so, he still felt a little awkward when he heard this.
One against five thousand, how could he say it so casually?
Bai Feng immediately dismounted and called out to the villagers in a low voice.
The villagers cautiously poked their heads out of the door.
Seeing that there was not a single Qiang soldier at the entrance, the villagers heaved a sigh of relief.
The corpses of the Qiang people were strewn all over the ground, some of them charred black.
The village chief and Er Gou hurriedly knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Mister! Without Mister, the entire village would have been massacred by those Qiang people! "
Bai Feng smiled faintly and said:
"Village Chief, may I know where the soldiers sent by King Wei are?"
"Why haven't they come when the Qiang people have sent out such a large number of soldiers?"
What Bai Feng was most concerned about now was the soldiers guarding the border.
Logically speaking, these soldiers had provisions and advanced weapons, so why didn't they dare to fight the Qiang people?
Why did they let the Qiang people slaughter the entire village?
Er Gou clenched his teeth.
"Mister, don't mention these cowardly people again!"
"When Wei Emperor sent them here, the Qiang people attacked."
"These soldiers only managed to resist for a while, but after suffering countless casualties, they hurriedly fled into the prefecture capital."
"We have twenty villages on the outskirts of the prefecture capital. Twelve of them have already been massacred."
"But these soldiers don't care. They want us dead."
"They even said that the prefecture capital has the most people and that they don't need to care about the lives of the villagers."
"They even said that we should move out of the village and live in the prefecture capital. They will definitely ensure our safety."
The more Er Gou spoke, the angrier he became. He took a deep breath before continuing.
"But this land was left behind by our ancestors. How can we just move away like that?"
"Moreover, the outskirts of the village are clearly fortified, but …"
Er Gou heaved a long sigh, not knowing what to say.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and patted Er Gou on the shoulder.
"I understand."
"Where are the remaining eight villages?"
The village chief stood up and said, "These eight villages are scattered all over the place.
"These eight villages are scattered all over the place. The villagers all rose up and formed soldiers, hoping to fight against the Qiang people."
"Of these, only our village is closest to the Qiang people's territory."
"When our village is destroyed, perhaps the other villages will not be spared either."
After saying that, the old village head couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
That was how the previous twelve villages were destroyed.
Now that it was his turn, how could the old village chief not feel melancholy?
Bai Feng frowned.
"Elder, I don't think the Qiang people will dare to attack us. Please wait here for now."
The old village head nodded his head heavily.
But he knew very well that just because the Qiang people did not dare to invade now, it did not mean that they would not invade forever.
However, it was impossible for Bai Feng to stay in the village for the rest of his life. In the end, the village would inevitably be destroyed.
Right now, the old, weak, women, and children in the village could only live one more day at a time.
Bai Feng could not help but shake his head. He turned around and was about to head back to the prefecture city.
At this moment, Zhang Ning followed them.
"Mr. Bai, can you take me with you on this trip?"
Bai Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"Miss Zhang Ning, I would like to ask you for a favor."
"When I go to the prefecture city this time, the Qiang people might return."
"When the time comes, I hope you can protect the village well. I will return immediately."
Zhang Ning knew very well what Bai Feng was going to do. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai.
"Please don't worry, sir. Don't tell me that you saved my life before."
"Even if you didn't ask, I would still do so."
"I hope everything goes well."
With that, Zhang Ning walked toward the entrance of the village.
Zhang Ning's impression of Bai Feng instantly changed.
Zhang Ning had originally thought that Bai Feng was just a government official who treated the people like dirt.
She did not expect Bai Feng to have such a side to him.
This made Zhang Ning, who was riding on the same road, immediately admire Bai Feng.
Bai Feng rode on the Snow-treading Ebony Drake and slowly headed toward the prefecture city in the south.
This matter had to be resolved!
