C172 Take on a Heavy Responsibility

The little girl pointed at the devastated street and said, "Well, these are the results of their hunting. As long as they come out, they must take something back, or else they will get beaten up. "

The little girl's words once again made Xiao Nanfeng furious. This kind of rule was simply the logic of bandits and robbers. It seemed like the so-called Gusu Alliance was nothing more than this. What kind of f * cking prestigious and righteous sect was this? They were nothing more than bandits who used the flag of a prestigious and righteous sect to cause trouble in the outside world.

Xiao Nanfeng understood that there must be a reason for this. But no matter what the reason was, sending his men out to rob was akin to robbing a bandit. He was not used to the formalities of those famous and upright sects, so no matter which sect invited him, he would reject them one by one. Now, he was even more determined.

At this time, another wave of soldiers flew past. They did not stop at Xiao Nanfeng's side, but went straight to the end of the street. The sound of horse hooves breaking through the mountains and rivers was deafening. Xiao Nanfeng widened his eyes. One of the horses went straight to an old man on the road.

The old man looked like he was in his 70s. He had a hunched back and wanted to take two steps forward, but he couldn't. When he saw the galloping horse, he was so scared that he fainted on the spot.

The old man was lying on the street. Logically speaking, this group of people should stop and take a look. At least they should take a detour. However, they did not change anything and continued to rush forward.

Just as the horse's hooves were about to step on the old man's body, Xiao Nanfeng had already rushed over. He grabbed the horse's hooves with one hand and pulled out his long knife with the other. With a piercing sound, the horse's hoof separated from the horse's body.

The soldiers on the horse rolled along with the horse and landed on the ground. With a shout, the soldiers all stopped in their tracks and surrounded Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng said angrily, "You are blind. There are so many people on this road. How can it be considered death and injury?" The people on the horses did not come down to speak. The leader of the group ordered a young man beside him to speak. "Go and see if he's dead. "

The person he was referring to was naturally the person Xiao Nanfeng had pulled down from the horse. "He's not dead yet, but I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up even if he's saved. " As soon as the person finished speaking, the person in the lead waved his hand.

That wave of his hand meant that he was going to give up on the injured person. He coldly harrumphed and said: "Then now that you've hurt my people, how should I settle this score?"

Xiao Nanfeng said sternly. "You are Murong Ke's soldier, right?" The man's eyes widened. "You dare to mention the name of the Alliance Master?! You really don't want to live!" After saying that, he waved the horsewhip and charged towards Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng smiled coldly. In the blink of an eye, a hand grabbed the horsewhip that was jumping in the air. The man was shocked. "You, who are you?"

He knew the power of this whip. Not to mention normal people, even someone who had a foundation of martial arts for more than ten years could not withstand it. This man actually grabbed his whip with one hand. This kind of miraculous ability was truly unheard of.

Xiao Nanfeng did not reply. With a light pull, that person fell off the horse. His martial arts skills were not weak either. He barely managed to stand on his feet and held the whip in his hand.

Xiao Nanfeng sneered and said, "Your kung fu is not weak. It's a pity. " That person said angrily, "What is a pity? Is it a pity that you are going to die here today?"

Xiao Nanfeng snorted and exerted force on his waist. "I am not the one who is going to die today!" The force on his waist boosted the strength in his hand. After a wave of whipping, the man was thrown into the air along with the whip.

However, the man was not a fool. He quickly threw away the braids in his hand. Before he landed on the ground, his right hand had already pulled out the long knife at his waist. Once the long saber was pulled out, a cold light flashed and went straight for Xiao Nanfeng's throat.

Xiao Nanfeng knew that this guy was not easy to deal with, but it was not a problem for him. "Good Kung Fu!" After a loud shout, the knife on Xiao Nanfeng's back also lit up. It was a dark and shiny black gold knife. The surface of the knife was sparkling, like the surface of the water under the dark night sky.

The man did not retract his blade at all. He went straight for Xiao Nanfeng. He only started to regret after he connected with Xiao Nanfeng's blade. After the two blades collided, the man's hand immediately separated from his blade. His blade also broke in half in an instant. It flew to both sides and went straight into the shops on both sides.

After the man fell to the ground, although he was trying his best to persist, in the end, he still spat out a mouthful of blood. When the subordinates saw that their leader had been injured, they gritted their teeth and rushed over. However, they were stopped by that person. "Stop!"

Everyone looked at him in confusion. He covered his chest and said, "Everyone, stop. Who exactly are you?" Xiao Nanfeng sneered and said, "Go back and tell your master, Murong Ke. I, Xiao Nanfeng, have returned! "

Xiao Nanfeng, these three words were like the name of the god of death, churning in their minds. Each and every one of their faces revealed a look of fear, and the blades in their hands were also trembling.

The man smiled. "Good job. Today, I was defeated by Cangsong Blade Master, Xiao Nanfeng. It's not a grievance!"

Xiao Nanfeng also smiled. "If I continue to do such things in the future, I will not be as simple as being crippled. " That person nodded. After being supported by someone on his horse, he brought his men and left, no longer caring about what was happening here.

Xiao Nanfeng, on the other hand, had become the savior of the people here. They didn't know about Xiao Nanfeng. They only knew that this man called Xiao Nanfeng had saved their entire town today.

The old man held onto the ground and stood up, holding Xiao Nanfeng's hand. "It has been a long time since our Wutong Market has a hero like you! Thank you for saving my life! "

Xiao Nanfeng saw that many people had surrounded him and was in a dilemma. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go back first. This place is not safe yet. Wait until everything is settled. Your family members have also returned. "

After saying this, Xiao Nanfeng regretted it because many people's family members would never be able to return. Looking at the group of old, weak women, and children in the market, Xiao Nanfeng felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.

"Hero, help us, help us bring our family back. " The shouts in the crowd became louder and louder, and Xiao Nanfeng felt helpless.

At this moment, a person suddenly whispered into his ear: "Mr Xiao, help them. " Lingsu had walked out of nowhere. Although her face was pale, she seemed very happy. She must have witnessed everything that happened just now.

This wasn't a bad thing, but Xiao Nanfeng was hesitating. He knew that if he were to interfere in this matter now. . . Then, the war between him and Murong Ke would begin. Initially, he didn't want to bother about the conflict between Murong Ke and Elder Xiao. He just wanted to return and bring Dugu Ming away. But now, it seemed that if he didn't take care of some matters, he would only be condemned by his conscience.

"Alright, I promise you. I will settle this matter now. " Xiao Nanfeng said word by word, but many of the elders in the crowd had already knelt down. Most of them had lost their son, and their only hope was to let their son go home.

Xiao Nanfeng was walking on the road, but he was thinking about how to resolve this matter. It was obviously impossible to go straight to Murong Ke's tent. However, if he wanted to start from the military camp, he didn't know how to start.

At this time, Lingsu smiled and said, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will work. " Xiao Nanfeng widened his eyes. "What way? As long as there is a way, it is good. I still have no idea how to do it now. "

Lingsu said, "I think that General Leng is not incurable. If Mr Xiao can persuade him to release those strong men, it is not a bad idea. "

Xiao Nanfeng also nodded, but he had a concern. Would General Leng listen to him? Logically speaking, General Leng's position in the army should not be low. At least the soldiers in this area were under his control, so he naturally had the right to do so. However, it might not be feasible to convince him.

However, this was the best way at the moment. If this path did not work, he could only find Murong Ke. Xiao Nanfeng nodded and headed straight to the military camp. They found a soldier and changed his clothes. They took the opportunity to find General Leng's position in the army.

General Leng's level was indeed very high. He seemed to be in charge of three thousand troops. So his big tent was in the depths of the military camp. Xiao Nanfeng and Lingsu tiptoed to General Leng's big tent, but found that there were too many soldiers standing guard around.

There was no way to enter the big tent quietly. If there was a conflict with these soldiers, it would definitely cause a riot. It would not be fun to deal with the entire military camp.

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and motioned for Lingsu to hide first. They waited in the camp for a while and found that some of the soldiers were wearing different clothes. Some of them were wearing clothes with the word Murong on them during the day, and some of them were wearing coarse gray robes.

The two types of soldiers seemed to be treated differently. The soldiers in formal military uniforms were eating wine and meat, while the soldiers in the blue-gray robe were eating steamed buns in the corner. They could only drink white water.

From time to time, they would hear the soldiers in gray complaining, "Eating these things every day, I'm going to starve to death sooner or later. " "Yeah, we'll be at the front in the war, eating while walking at the back. How can that be?" There were a lot of them, and they were very ear piercing to the ears.

"Shh, you wouldn't dare to say that. If someone else heard this. . . I will drag them out to kill their heads!"

"Kill his head then. He will die sooner or later. I think we might as well just let it go. These people are not worth us working so hard for them. "

When Xiao Nanfeng heard these words, he had some confidence in his heart. Presumably, these people were the men who had been captured. After knowing the inside story, Xiao Nanfeng slowly walked over.

They saw soldiers in formal military uniforms walking over. Each and every one of them changed their appearance and sat on the ground, eating their buns. Xiao Nanfeng walked up to them and said with a smile, "Brothers, you have worked hard here. Do you all miss home?"

No one said anything. They looked at Xiao Nanfeng in surprise. It seemed that no one had ever talked to them in such a friendly tone before. Xiao Nanfeng smiled. "Hi! Don't look at me in this outfit. Actually, I was also caught by someone, just like you guys. "

Finally, someone asked: "What? Brother, how did you get caught too? You are a regular army! You're different from us. Look at what we're wearing. "

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "Hi. I was just lucky. I just happened to be missing something. However, I haven't been here for long, so I'm not familiar with this place. Those people are cold to me, and they don't treat me as one of their own. I knew that you guys had the same experience as me these few days, so I wanted to see you guys a long time ago. "

At this time, a big man said," That's a good relationship, brother. Since they don't like you, then come to us. We are all people who know coldness and warmth. "

Xiao Nanfeng looked at the big man's bearded face, which almost covered half of his face. He smiled with a simple and honest face. He looked like a bearded Maitreya Buddha.

"That's right. I won't hide it from you all. I really miss home these few days. I really don't know why I'm here. I just want to take a look at the higher-ups, but I don't know who's in charge here. " Xiao Nanfeng asked.

The big man continued, "Hey, you still don't know who caught us? Isn't it the one with the surname Leng?" When Xiao Nanfeng heard the man with the surname Leng, he knew that it must be that General Leng.

He continued to ask, "This guy with the surname Leng has so much power? Could it be that whether we can be released or not is up to him?" The big man nodded. "Sigh! Of course he has a lot of power. You have to know. . . He is in charge of the three to four thousand people here, and we are one of them. If he is willing to. . . Of course, it's just a matter of a few words. What a pity. . . How could the person he caught be willing to let go just like that?"

Xiao Nanfeng nodded his head. "What Big Brother said is right. I see that guy surnamed Leng has so many soldiers standing in front of the tent. Aren't they tired?"

The big man smiled bitterly and took a bite of his bun: "Tired? Tired my ass! Although they had a lot of people, there were four groups of people standing guard every day. How could they be tired? We, on the other hand, are the ones who are tired from fighting at the front line. "

Xiao Nanfeng walked to General Leng's tent and stayed for a long time. When he was about to fall asleep, the soldiers standing guard seemed to have received some news and walked away together.

It was just like what the big man had said. These people were not so diligent. After they left for a short period of time, no one came to replace them. Everyone wanted to be lazy for a while.

Xiao Nanfeng took advantage of this gap and went straight into General Leng's tent. At this time, General Leng was sitting at his desk and checking military affairs. He did not find anyone in the tent.

Xiao Nanfeng ordered Lingsu to stand at the door. He walked forward with big strides and stopped in front of the desk. General Leng had also noticed that someone had come forward, but he only thought that they were here to report military affairs, so he did not pay too much attention to it. "What is it? Tell me quickly. "

Xiao Nanfeng smiled and said, "It's a big matter. "
