Chapter 116 - Qiao Feng's Qi Dan Tattoo
Looking at Ling Xiao's sincere expression, Qiao Feng was a little touched. He nodded strongly: "After I thoroughly investigate my background, I will definitely return to the Beggar Gangs and help the Sect Master Ling take care of this situation even better!"
"There's no time to lose, let's go quickly. The seniors of the Beggar Gangs are all thinking about you." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
After explaining the journey to the few elders of the Beggar Gangs, Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng set foot on the journey to Qi Dan.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, where should we go first?" Ling Xiao asked.
Because this time, it was Qiao Feng who was going on a trip, Ling Xiao would definitely respect his suggestion.
"Let's go to Yanmen Pass first. The intelligence reports say that there is a stone tablet there. Perhaps we can find some information there." Qiao Feng said with anticipation.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he nodded his head and laughed: "Alright, then we'll go to Yanmen Mountain and prepare!"
As the horse's hooves sounded, a cloud of dust flew into the air and the two of them walked further and further away.
When Qiao Feng and Ling Xiao arrived at Swallow's Gate, it was already four days later. They travelled day and night, and when they were tired, they would take a short nap on the spot. When they were thirsty or hungry, they would look for food nearby, and did not linger on the road for too long.
Yanmen Pass was the boundary zone of the Central Plains. The people here were sparse, and the surroundings looked very desolate. There shouldn't be anyone willing to live here.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, is it really here? It's like I can't see anyone at all. " Ling Xiao looked around, not to mention the village, he did not even see people walking around.
Qiao Feng also had a serious face. After carefully confirming his surroundings, he pointed to a high slope not far away and said: "Let's go over there. That should be the location of the stone tablet."
The two men rode up to the slope and did indeed find a stone, but it looked very old, as if it had been eroded beyond recognition by the sand.
After dismounting from the horse, the two of them went up and carefully examined the stone tablet. They discovered that it was extremely smooth and they could not see what words were carved on it.
"Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, looks like the words on the monument have already been eroded away by the wind and sand. What should I do?" Seeing that, Ling Xiao spoke with regret.
After Qiao Feng heard this, he also sighed deeply, and said: "Since that's the case, then there's no other way, let's go to Chidan and try our luck."
Afterwards, the two of them continued in the direction of the Chidan. Not long later, they passed through the border and entered the territory of the Chidan.
The surrounding environment had become even more desolate, which was enough to show that the people of Chidan lived in a very poor and barren land.
Not long after they passed the border, Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng met a troop of Song Kingdom soldiers. They seemed to be patrolling the border, but at this time, they had already entered the territory of Chidan.
"What's going on with these Song Bing s? How did they cross the line?" Seeing that, Qiao Feng asked anxiously.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but narrow his eyes, because crossing the line was a very dangerous matter, and might even cause a war.
"Let's go over and take a look. We can't let these two countries fight." Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.
After Qiao Feng heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes! We can't let that happen. "
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly rode their horses over, wanting to find out what happened.
When they got closer, they realized that it was a group of Song Bing bullying the people of Chidan's border.
"These Song Bing are too outrageous. They are all poor unarmed people, and they still want to rob them! Are there still laws? " Seeing this, Qiao Feng could no longer hold back.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and said: "Let's go and help them, in a while, we must not be too light, or else they will definitely return."
"Of course, I won't make any mistakes. If I cut the grass, I won't remove the roots, but spring winds will rise again!" Qiao Feng nodded.
When the two of them got near, the group of Song Bing were fighting with all their might, so much so that they did not even notice that someone was approaching them.
"A grand army of a large country is actually bullying the commoners at the border! Do you even have any face left? " Qiao Feng finally could not hold it in and roared loudly.
With that shout, the Song Bing finally reacted, they ran over frantically from beside the people of Qi Dan while holding their weapons and pointing them at Qiao Feng.
Ling Xiao noticed that the people of Qi Dan were wearing all sorts of clothes, it seemed like they were migrating, most likely because the place they were in was no longer suitable for living, they chose to leave, which was why they brought their entire families and belongings with them, but right at this moment, they met people who robbed them, and they were even in the army, so they did not have the power to retaliate.
"Who is it?" You actually dared to stop us! " When the leading Song Bing saw that it was a Central Plains people, she immediately became spirited as she angrily shouted in an overbearing manner.
Hearing this, Qiao Feng laughed coldly: "If you want to blame something, blame yourselves for staying at the border for too long, and actually not knowing about me, Qiao Feng!"
After saying that, Qiao Feng went forward and gave the person a fierce beating, causing him to be badly battered.
Seeing this scene, the Song Bing s were so scared that their faces turned pale. It was obvious that this was the first time they had seen such an expert.
The Song Bing who was beaten black and blue bared her teeth and shouted with difficulty: "What are you all waiting for, hurry up and attack! Arrest these two! I have a reward! "
Hearing that, the rest of the Song Bing immediately grabbed onto their weapons, looking like the Song Bing on the ground was the leader of the group.
"Sect Master Ling, they are still beside the people of Chidan. I'm worried that they will capture the people of Chidan and use them to threaten us." Qiao Feng said worriedly.
Ling Xiao heard and laughed lightly: "Don't worry Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, with me here, they won't be able to succeed."
Qiao Feng knew that Ling Xiao knew the microstep, so he naturally believed in him.
Ling Xiao unhurriedly walked in front of the Song Bing. At this time, the chieftain was lying on the ground and wailing.
But how could he climb like that? Thus, Ling Xiao successfully stood in front of the chieftain.
"Where to?" Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
chieftain raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao. Immediately, cold sweat flowed down his body like rain, the first time he saw someone's eyes, he thought he was already dead.
"This, this Great Chivalry, we know our wrongs. Can you take a detour to survive?!" chieftain subconsciously opened his mouth to beg for forgiveness.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "Look, all of you like to eat hard things. If you had such awareness, wouldn't you all be fine?"
"We know we're wrong! It's true! " Hearing that, the chieftain continued to plead.
