Chapter 6 The Old Friend

  ♂?,,

  The two war horses with broken hooves fell to the ground, colliding and rolling forward, again crushing the two owners split corpses into a pulp, finally forming a large heap of blood and flesh, with human and horse limbs broken and piled together, unable to distinguish who was who.

  The sudden change formed a pile of corpses, which happened to block the path of dozens of enemy cavalry behind. The first few horses were unable to stop in time and were tripped up by the corpses, causing them to tumble and trample each other, amidst another flurry of flying limbs and dancing blood. As a result, most of the Tiger Cavalrys charging route was blocked, with dozens of riders and horses crowded together in disarray, their originally cohesive charging formation thus shattered.

  With his own hands, he created this disgusting scene in front of him. Liu Fengs heart was stirred up almost jumping out of his chest cavity. In fact, the peculiar fighting method he used just now was only a random response under desperation, but he didnt expect that the sharp sword in his hand would be so sharp and unmatched, cutting off hooves and waists without any effort.

  He glanced at the blood-stained treasure sword in his hand, and saw that the swords body, which was flowing with cold light, had the words "Qing Xiang" faintly engraved on it. Liu Feng suddenly remembered that Cao Cao had two treasure swords, one called "Yi Tian", worn by himself, and the other called "Qing Xiang", worn by a general surnamed Xiahou. Could it be that the enemy general he had just killed was this person?

  "Big brother, whats wrong with you? Hurry up and go!"

  The loud shout behind him woke up Liu Feng, and when he turned his head back fiercely, Zhao Yun had already rushed to the front on horseback. Behind him were piles of corpses and a bloody carpet paved with endless fresh blood. Under their several rounds of fierce fighting, the combat will of these more than 100 tiger-like cavalrymen was finally shattered, and they no longer had the heart to fight against this strong enemy. One by one, they fled in all directions like rats crossing the street.

  ADou was still crying in his arms, but Liu Feng had no time to coax him. He sheathed the Qinglian sword and mounted his horse with ADou in his arms.

  After the Hu Bao riders dispersed, they left behind a dozen or so captives, tied up with ropes like slaves. Among them were men and women, dressed in fine clothes that didnt seem to belong to ordinary commoners. It was likely that they were either from wealthy families or were relatives of officials. Most of them had probably been kidnapped by the Hu Bao riders as spoils of war to be presented as a tribute for their achievements.

  Zhoa Yun cut off their binding ropes with a few strokes: "Youre lucky to have run into us, this place is not safe to stay for long, hurry up and escape with your lives."

  "General, save us."

  "I am the wife of an officer under General Lius command, please save me!"

  This group of weak and feeble old women and children, having gone through the disaster at Changban Slope, originally thought that falling into Caos army would be a matter of life and death. Who would have thought that they were rescued from the jaws of the tiger by two soldiers from their own side? Just like someone who has fallen into water and easily bumps into a lifesaving straw, they naturally did not want to let go lightly. Over ten people cried and begged Zhao Yun and Liu Feng not to abandon them.

  Zhao Yuns sharp gaze revealed a complex look, among these people, there were colleagues families, and it was hard to abandon them with an iron heart. However, he had entered the encirclement this time to rescue Adou, if he brought these old and weak people along, and thus put Adou in danger again, how could he bear that heavy responsibility.

  Liu Feng knew what Zhao Yun was hesitating about, and he himself was not without sympathetic people, but he also understood that under the premise of being unable to even protect oneself, indulging in sympathy would not only be extremely dangerous, but also foolish.

  At this time, those dozen or so people saw that the two of them didnt leave, and they became even more aggressive, surrounding them in a swarm, blocking their way, as if relying on them, not answering would make it impossible to leave.

  Zhao Yun looked somewhat helpless, but Liu Feng knew he couldnt delay any further. Those scattered Tiger and Leopard Riders from earlier might return at any moment. Suddenly inspired, he had an idea.

  Suddenly, Liu Fengs face turned extremely terrified, pointing behind him and shouting: "Its not good, the enemy is chasing again, looking at the formation there are several hundred cavalrymen, this time even we cant handle it!"

  Those dozen or so people were already like startled birds, and when Liu Feng shouted at them, they believed it to be true and immediately dispersed in a hurry.

  Zhao Yun let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the young master is quick-witted, otherwise I really dont know how to get rid of their entanglement. Lets hurry up and leave."

  The two were just about to set off on horseback, when Liu Feng suddenly reined in his horse and pointed at an old woman lying on the ground a few steps away, saying: "Yun Shu, do you recognize who that old lady is?"

  Zhao Yun turned around and looked back, the crowd dispersed, leaving only an old woman lying motionless on the ground. Although her clothes were simple, she had a few points of elegance.

  Zhao Yuns eyes suddenly lit up: "Its Mr. Xu Yuanzhis mother!"

  Under Liu Beis regime, the famous people that Liu Feng knew were only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. When he first found out that he had crossed over into Liu Fengs body, in order to quickly understand the relationships between the various parties within the Liu Bei group, he personally went to visit each of their residences. During his meeting with Xu Shu, he had also met his mother.

  Although it was only a brief encounter, Liu Feng had an extremely strong memory. Just now, he had only taken a quick glance, but suddenly felt that the old woman looked familiar. After listening to Zhao Yuns words, he dared to confirm that he hadnt misremembered.

  Xu Shu was the second strategist under Liu Beis command. His mother, naturally being different from others, having recognized him, couldnt just abandon him.

  Two men rode back on horseback. Zhao Yun dismounted and bowed his hands: "Old lady, how did you end up here? Where is Mr. Xu?"

  The old womans eyes were dim, and Zhao Yun only recognized her when he approached. Her face suddenly filled with tears of joy as she grasped Zhao Yuns hand and sobbed: "So its General Zhao! Im saved now. I was originally with Yuan Zhong and our lord, but a group of Cao army cavalry suddenly appeared out of nowhere and scattered us all. Later, I was captured by those Cao soldiers, luckily I met you."

  Zhao Yuns face showed a look of surprise: "I originally thought that Cao Jun only charged the rear of our troops, could it be that there is another route of cavalry that has bypassed our troops and is heading straight for the main general?"

  Zhao Yun was worried about Liu Beis safety, and Liu Feng wanted to comfort him: Dont worry, my old man may not have many other skills, but his ability to escape is unmatched in the world.

  "Yun Shu, with three uncles protecting Father, hes sure to be safe. Lets bring the old lady and hurry south, if Caos army blocks off Dangyang Bridge, well really have nowhere to turn."

  At Liu Fengs reminder, Zhao Yun could only temporarily put down his worries. When the old lady was helped onto the horse and sat on her own back, the two of them protected the one elderly and one young weak individuals, galloping wildly to the south.

  The setting sun was like blood, slowly lying down on the western mountain peaks, and it seemed to be about to sink. On the desolate road, two riders galloped forward, accompanied by their long shadows.

  Suddenly, a look of vigilance reappeared on Zhao Yuns exhausted face, and Liu Fengs mood was like a spring, immediately tightening up, one hand holding still, the other hand quickly grasping the hilt of his sword.

  The faint sound of horseshoes, through the increasingly dark wilderness, came from afar and approached, the rhythm of the horseshoes was very urgent.

  "Theres only one of you, Ill take care of it."

  Zhoa Yun unsheathed his spear, which seemed to have been painted with a layer of red lacquer made from blood. His killing intent pierced through the armor and shot out, even the old lady Xu behind him was intimidated by this killing aura, and couldnt help but shiver with cold sweat.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a moment later, one person riding a horse came galloping over.

  Liu Fengs mood had already calmed down like water, with a heart of appreciation, preparing to see again the unparalleled marksmanship of Zhao Yun, and how he could effortlessly kill his enemies in one move.

  With a single clench of his legs on the horses belly, Zhao Yun emerged from the darkness like a dazzling silver light, his spear flashing out like lightning.

  When the killing move is made, blood will be shed!

  Just as Zhao Yun rushed out, Liu Feng suddenly saw the face of the enemy and his expression changed drastically. He hastily shouted: "Stop!"
