Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

In the dense forest, Ye Ling Shuang clung tightly to Qi Feng's arm, her tears completely dried up, replaced by eyes full of anger.

Her scarlet eyes completely robbed her of her usual aloofness.

"Qi Feng, I beg you, kill that person! I know you're a good archer, just kill that one person!"

Ye Ling Shuang grabbed Qi Feng's arm and suddenly pointed to a person in the distance.

Qi Feng took a closer look, and a surge of anger instantly erupted within him!

This rage nearly tore Qi Feng's reason apart.

In the distance, Liu Daye was holding a little girl, and no matter how much she cried or struggled, it was no use.

Liu Daye had a cruel smile on his face as he tore the little girl's clothes apart.

The girl's parents rushed over and grabbed Liu Daye's arms, both of them frantically kowtowing on the ground.

But Liu Daye simply picked up the ring-pommel sword beside him and killed the little girl's parents right in front of her.

Blood splattered all over the ground, but Liu Daye's actions did not stop. It seemed that he was going to defile the little girl in front of her parents' corpses.

Seeing this, Qi Feng could no longer contain his anger. How was this Liu Daye any different from the Japanese devils he had seen in his previous life?!

If he doesn't take action soon, he'll be unworthy of being called the king of field soldiers!

Draw the bow! Nock the arrow!

In the blink of an eye, Qi Feng had already aimed the arrow at Liu Daye.

Whoosh!

The next second, the arrow shot out instantly, carrying Qi Feng's raging anger, and pierced Liu Daye's neck!

Before Liu Daye could react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and then clutched his neck, backing away repeatedly.

Only on his deathbed did Liu Daye finally see Qi Feng in the dense forest, and Qi Feng coldly stared at him, with Ye Ling Shuang and Ye Zhi Wan beside him, their faces filled with hatred.

Liu Daye tried to call out, but could only manage two hissing sounds. Blood in his throat blocked his trachea, preventing him from speaking at all.

"Captain Liu!"

The sudden attack startled those around him, who then rushed over to surround Liu Daye.

Liu Daye stretched out his finger, trying to point in Qi Feng's direction, but the arriving garrison soldier stepped on his finger, and in the end, he could only stare wide-eyed, dying with resentment in his eyes.

"Be on guard! There are still people around!"

"Quickly surround Commander Liu! Watch out for hidden arrows!"

While the garrison soldiers were still on guard, little did they know that Qi Feng had already quietly left Ye Family Village with Ye Ling Shuang and Ye Zhi Wan.

"Why don't you just kill them all!"

On the way, Ye Zhiwan, who had been silent all along, suddenly burst into tears, looking at Qi Feng with red eyes.

"Your archery skills are so amazing! You could have saved everyone in Ye Family Village!"

Hearing Ye Zhiwan's words, Qi Feng frowned, and Ye Ling Shuang immediately slapped Ye Zhiwan!

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out in the dense forest. Ye Zhiwan covered her face, unable to believe that Ye Ling Shuang would dare to hit her!

"Sister! Why did you hit me! More than a hundred people from Ye Family Village are dead! They're all dead! Even Little Maruko was treated like that..."

Ye Zhiwan couldn't stop the tears from flowing, her voice was hoarse, and her mind was filled with the image of Liu Daye bullying that little girl.

But Ye Ling Shuang took a deep breath, first bowed slightly to Qi Feng, and then looked at Ye Zhi Wan.

For a fleeting moment, Ye Ling Shuang did feel a pang of sympathy, but the next second she said coldly:

"Qi Feng did his best to save the two of us! Instead of thinking about how to repay his kindness, you're criticizing Qi Feng for not saving others. How are you any different from Ye Feng?!"

"Is this how I've always taught you?! Without Qi Feng, the two of us would have already been defiled by Ye Feng! And then we'd be taken away to Ma Su!"

"You just talk the talk and tell Qi Feng to take action, but do you even consider how many arrows he has left? Qi Feng has his own family background; he's already done his utmost by risking his life to save us. How dare you say such things?"

Hearing Ye Ling Shuang's words, Ye Zhi Wan also came to her senses, lowered her head, and dared not look at her, much less at Qi Feng.

"Sister...I'm sorry..."

"I'm not your sister! Go apologize to Qi Feng!"

Ye Zhiwan lowered her head and approached Qi Feng, tears gradually streaming down her face.

"Brother Qi, I'm sorry. I was blinded by anger just now, and that's why I said those things..."

Qi Feng sighed, waved to Ye Zhiwan, and tugged at Ye Ling Shuang.

"Forget it, escaping is the priority. This matter isn't that simple."

"Ma Shuo is a vicious man. He actually thought of wiping out your Ye Family Village, killing innocent people and claiming credit for it, in order to escape the court's investigation."

"I'm afraid that after today, Ma Shuo will be even more convinced that you and I are all spies sent by the Great Rong, and the days ahead will probably be difficult..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling Shuang was stunned, and a sense of despair welled up in her heart.

"Isn't there anyone who can stop them...?"

"Are all the more than one hundred people from Ye Family Village going to die so unjustly? And even implicate you...?"

Qi Feng shook his head. "There's no question of implicating anyone. It's just that Du Ma Village is lawless and has become extremely arrogant. Doesn't he realize that if this matter is exposed, even a hundred heads wouldn't be enough to make Ma Shuo pay for it?"

"But now... who can believe us..." Two lines of clear tears rolled down Ye Ling Shuang's cheeks. No matter how good her kung fu was, what could she do in front of a hundred soldiers in formation?

What could they do in the face of the powerful Ma Shuo?

Although Ma Shuo was just a minor eighth-rank military officer with only eight hundred men under his command, he was practically a local tyrant in Fuxing County.

Qi Feng patted Ye Ling Shuang on the shoulder and looked at the darkening sky, saying:

"You should go back to Qijia Village tonight and settle in. Get your wounds bandaged. I have my own arrangements. The imperial court has been watching Ma Shuo for a long time. Now it's a race against time!"

"Let's see if Ma Shuo can put an end to this matter before the imperial court reacts, or if he can bring the truth to light before Ma Shuo reacts!"

"I'll go to the county government office tonight. You don't need to worry about this. I'm doing this not only for you, but also to protect myself!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling Shuang and Ye Zhi Wan looked at Qi Feng, their hearts filled with indescribable emotion.

Back in Qijia Village, when Qi Feng brought Ye Ling Shuang and Ye Zhi Wan back home, Yu You Rong was immediately taken aback.

However, after Qi Feng briefly recounted what had happened at Ye Family Village, Yu Yourong was immediately shocked, and her eyes were filled with sympathy as she looked at Ye Ling Shuang and Ye Zhi Wan.

"In that case, my husband, you should hurry to the county government office. Village Chief Qi has an old horse; go and borrow it quickly, that way you'll get to the county government office faster!"

"Okay, then I'll leave the house to you. Yourong, could you please comfort them? I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Qi Feng immediately pushed open the door, borrowed an old horse from Qi Changlai, and headed straight for the county government office.
