Yuan Feng held the scimitar tightly and shouted to Yulia and others: "Go quickly!" The women hurriedly retreated, but the Turks who rushed over did not look like they were looking for trouble. They were all in a state of confusion and panicked.
A man ran towards Yuan Feng. Just as Yuan Feng was about to slash with his sword, an arrow came out of the man's chest with a whoosh sound. He fluttered twice and fell to the ground dead. Then there were several more whoosh sounds.
All the Turks were hit by arrows and died. The knights who were shooting arrows ran close to them, got off their horses and walked over.
Yuan Feng was still in full formation. These knights were wearing red jackets and chainmail, carrying bows and arrows and carrying long knives. They looked like they were dressed like the officers and soldiers at the head of Liangzhou City. The officers and soldiers saw broken human hands all over the ground.
, looked at Yuan Feng in surprise, and someone asked: "Did you cut it?"
Yuan Feng said: "It's just self-defense."
The officers and soldiers nodded and asked again: "Han people?"
Yuan Feng heard the gentle tone of the officers and soldiers, so he replied: "Yes, I am a Han."
Several more knights rushed over, jumped off the horse for one of them, and laughed heartily: "These Turkic dogs think that I can't do anything to them if they don't commit crimes in the city. Humph, they will be killed as if they were outside the city!" He strode forward.
When he came over and heard the man's words, Yuan Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, all the Turkic dogs have been captured, and a dozen more have had their hands chopped off by this hero, and their bodies have also been crippled."
"Oh, who is so powerful?" The man took off his helmet and looked towards Yuan Feng. It didn't matter. The man immediately turned to stone and his helmet fell to the ground.
"Kuro!"
"Brother Ding'an!"
The person who came was none other than Zhao Ding'an. Yuan Feng threw away his machete and rushed forward. Zhao Ding'an also rushed forward. The two hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their cheeks, and they were speechless and choked.
"Brother, I thought you were dead."
"Me too, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Zhao Ding'an held Yuan Feng's shoulders and shouted into the distance: "Brothers, come here quickly and see who I have found!"
More than a dozen people dressed as officers and soldiers came over in a hurry. They were all brothers from Shibali Fort. Everyone was very sad to see Yuan Feng.
"Where are the folks? Are they all okay?" Since Zhao Ding'an and others escaped safely, a glimmer of hope rose in Yuan Feng's heart as to whether the mute aunt was still alive.
Mentioning the villagers, Zhao Ding'an's eyes turned red again: "Oh, it was so chaotic that day. The officers and soldiers divided and surrounded us, and everyone ran away. Only a few dozen people followed us to Liangzhou alive, and the rest
Oh...sigh."
It goes without saying that the fire of hope in Yuan Feng's eyes dimmed again, and he murmured: "As long as you are alive."
Zhao Ding'an said: "Actually, we were lucky to survive. At that time, our group of people ran desperately to the west, with the officers and soldiers chasing after us. We ran for three days and three nights without getting rid of them. On the fourth day, someone appeared in front of us.
The large army of officers and soldiers, I thought they were doomed this time, but I didn’t know that the officers and soldiers who intercepted us were not the same as the officers and soldiers of Gansu Province. They were the troops of Mr. Cao of Liangzhou, and they came specifically to stop the officers and soldiers of Gansu Province."
At this point, Yuan Feng seemed to understand something. It was said that the prefect of Liangzhou had always gone his own way and did not obey the orders of the imperial court. The governor of Gansu mobilized troops with great fanfare and sent troops to march westward. This must have aroused his suspicion, and it was reasonable to send troops to reject him.
"So you became the officers and soldiers of Liangzhou Prefecture?" Yuan Feng asked.
"Oh, there is no other way. I have to eat food and become a soldier. I can't use my little blacksmith job in Liangzhou. I can only serve as a soldier in order to make a living. Fortunately, Mr. Cao appreciated it and made me the commander of the cavalry camp. I have dozens of subordinates.
Brother, he can be considered a minor official."
"Oh, that's it. Congratulations to Brother Ding'an." Yuan Feng was sincerely happy for Zhao Ding'an. Zhao Ding'an was once depressed because of Meng Xiaodong's death, but now he finally got back on his feet. It's really not easy.
"It's not all thanks to you, Jiulang. Without you teaching us bows, sabers, swords and spears, how could we have the capital to live and settle down?" Zhao Ding'an said, pointing at the Turks, "These guys are really discerning, and they won't offend anyone."
Well, they actually got into trouble with you, they really deserve their misfortune."
Yuan Feng sighed and said: "I didn't expect Liangzhou to be so chaotic. Foreigners can do evil in the city. They openly extort money and beat good people. They are even more vicious outside the city. They directly use knives to rob. That is what happened to me. If
What should ordinary unarmed people do?"
Zhao Ding'an curled his lips and said: "This is not bad. Some time ago, Turks dared to kill people in the streets in the city. Since I took charge of the public security in the city, things have gotten better. They don't dare to use knives in the city anymore. If they want to kill people, they have to do it in the city."
Besides, it seems that this is all the result of the connivance of the prefect. He is always afraid of provoking the Turks and triggering a war. The Turks break the law and are only imprisoned without killing them. Therefore, I privately took my brothers out of the city to kill them. I killed all of them without leaving any one behind.
Let’s see if these Turkic dogs still dare to be so arrogant.”
At this time, Zhao Ding'an's subordinates had gathered the remaining Turks and marched them to the nearby woods. A soldier came over and said, "Mr. Bai, you are ready."
Zhao Ding'an waved his hand: "Follow the old rules."
A moment later, screams rang out from the direction of the grove. Not long after, officers and soldiers spattered with blood came out. Zhao Ding'an pointed at the group of Liqian women behind Yuan Feng and said, "Are these?"
"They are our benefactors. Grandma Wang and Uncle Zhao still live in their village."
When he heard that his father was alive, Zhao Ding'an was immediately overjoyed and said: "Why are you still hanging around? Go to the city and I will arrange food and accommodation."
Seeing that Yuan Feng knew the officers in the city, the Liqian women were also full of joy. They packed up their luggage and rode on camels to enter the city. Zhao Ding'an and Yuan Feng rode side by side. The officers and soldiers at the city gate all respectfully greeted him when they saw him.
Salute, you seem to be doing well.

Zhao Ding'an is just a small boss, but he is generous and loyal, and he is ruthless in dealing with Turks, so the merchants in the city respect him. Liqian's women were smoothly arranged into a carriage and horse shop, and they were able to
Sleeping on a warm earthen kang and eating hot meals is much better than living in the wilderness.
Zhao Ding'an took Yuan Feng to the lower place and met a group of villagers who had escaped from Shibali Fort. They all hugged each other and cried, and then told about the miserable scene that day. The second and third eldest among the thirteen Taibao, the old
Six brothers, eight brothers, eleven brothers, twelve brothers, etc. died on the battlefield in order to protect the villagers. In addition to the oldest brother Wu Chujian who died first, there were only six brothers left who had sworn sworn in the arrow tower on a snowy night.
. In addition, Ye Kai and Zhang Tietou are also missing, which seems to be a disaster.
In the tavern, it was dark, the waiters had tilted their heads and dozed off, and a few big men were still toasting and drinking. The young men who were sworn friends in the arrow tower in the past have grown into upright men. Zhao Ding'an, Gou Sheng, Yuan
Feng, Lin Lianjiang, Meng Yeluo, and Zhao Ziqian, the waiter who lived with them through life and death, met an old friend in a foreign land and it was a festive season, which made people feel sad and happy at the same time. All six of them were drunk. Zhao Dingan patted Yuan Feng on the shoulder and said
: "Jiuro, don't leave, stay."
Yuan Feng said: "What are you staying for?"
"Eat food and serve as a soldier. With your bravery and resourcefulness, the official position will definitely be higher than mine. Let's serve Master Cao well. One day we will be able to stand out. By then..." Zhao Ding'an looked at the east with blood-red eyes and waved his hand vigorously. "Go back to Lanzhou to take revenge!"
Yuan Feng pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "Okay, I'll do it!"
…
Early the next morning, the Liqian people's luggage was ready, and Zhao Ding'an paid for them to buy meat, oil, tools and other supplies, and took them to the city gate.
"Thank you very much. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I still have military affairs, so I will send them off not far away." Zhao Ding'an cupped his fists and said. The Liqian women also nodded in return. Only Yulia looked at Yuan blankly. Feng Fang couldn't move, his eyes were full of reluctance.
Zhao Ding'an understood and pushed Yuan Feng: "I can't send him far away, so you can go."
Yuan Feng sent the Liqian camel team outside the ten-mile pavilion, and the two parties parted in tears. Yulia suddenly jumped off the camel, rushed to Yuan Feng, kissed him on the face, then climbed on the camel and never looked back.
The sound of camel bells melodiously faded away. Yuan Feng took out the flute from behind and started playing it alone in the pavilion. His voice was like weeping and complaining.
Returning to the military camp, Zhao Ding'an helped Yuan Feng find a set of red war jackets and a felt hat to put on. He also added a name to the camp office, indicating that he was officially a soldier. The brothers were helping Yuan Feng tidy up his bed. Suddenly there was a noise outside the camp gate, and a group of cavalry filed in. The leader shouted: "Where is Zhao Ding'an!"
Zhao Ding'an quickly straightened his clothes and ran out, knelt in front of the horse and said: "I have a humble duty!"
"Take it for me!" the man ordered, and the servant shook off the chain, locked up Zhao Ding'an and left the camp.
Yuan Feng subconsciously touched the knife, but was stopped by Gou Sheng: "Wait a minute, these are the general's personal soldiers. We can't be reckless. Let's go to the Chinese army to inquire about the situation."
The brothers brought their knives and weapons to the Chinese army camp and saw the general raising his tent. There were many soldiers standing in the big cowhide tent with bright swords and axes. Zhao Dingan was kneeling in the tent without any fear.
The General is a fair-skinned middle-aged man with a three-lock beard that looks somewhat like a Confucian general. After sitting down on the handsome tiger-skin chair, he asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, what did you do when you went out of the city without permission yesterday afternoon?"
Zhao Ding'an said: "I just killed a bunch of Turkic dogs to eliminate harm for the people."
"Bold! Mr. Cao has already issued a clear order not to kill Turks without permission. You are deliberately provoking a war and bringing disaster to Liangzhou! As an officer, you disobey military orders. What's the use of you? Come on, drag me out. Behead it!"
