Qin An pulled Qin Xiaowu away from his spot, narrowly avoiding the arrow that was shot from the shadows.
"Damn it! I almost lost my life here."
After escaping danger, Qin Xiaowu couldn't help but curse. He hadn't expected that those guys would have ambushed people even in this valley. They had only been in the valley for less than half an hour when the other side made their move.
He turned to look at Lu Lingxiao and said in a low voice, "Brigade Commander, this can't go on. They're in the shadows, and we're in the open. We have no chance at all."
Moreover, it's nighttime now, and the environment is already extremely harsh. The other party is resorting to underhanded tactics. Forget about entering the Southern Frontier Village; they might not even be able to save their lives.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyi glanced at Lu Lingxiao and conveyed the message to him.
After receiving his wife's signal, Lu Lingxiao immediately issued instructions to the accompanying team.
"Everyone, stand by!"
Then he said to Qin An and Xu Feng, "Qin An, Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, strengthen the defenses and have them rest here for fifteen minutes. Zhizhi and I will go ahead and check the situation."
"Yes, Commander!"
Qin An and Xu Feng immediately agreed.
Lu Lingxiao glanced at them, then grabbed Feng Zhiyi and quickly darted into the bushes before disappearing from everyone's sight.
"There are three people each at the seven o'clock and nine o'clock directions, two at the eleven o'clock direction, two at the eight o'clock direction on the right, four at the eleven o'clock direction... and five at the ten o'clock direction on the west side."
“How interesting!”
"Eighteen people were ambushed in one valley."
After quickly putting on their goggles, the couple swiftly located all the enemies hiding in the shadows.
Feng Zhiyi curled her lips into a wicked smile, "Nine each, let's see who finishes the other's head first!"
Lu Lingxiao reminded her, "Be careful!"
Feng Zhiyi gave him an OK sign and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
Lu Lingxiao glanced in the direction she disappeared, then rushed towards his first target as fast as he could.
The couple moved with lightning speed, silently darting through the grass.
Just as the other party realized that Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi had suddenly disappeared and was about to go looking for them, suddenly, a gust of wind blew past their ears.
I turned my head and looked.
In an instant, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"you......"
Before the other party could say anything, he found the gun was already pressed against his forehead.
"I'm asking you, are those people still alive?"
"I—I don't know." She shrugged, her words stuttering.
"have no idea?"
Feng Zhiyi raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "I don't know what you're doing here lying in ambush? Who are you planning to assassinate? Tell me honestly, or I'll send you to the Yellow Springs right now!"
"I really don't know. I just got back to the village and didn't have time to ask anything before the elders sent me here to guard it." His lowered eyes darted around frantically.
"Oh--"
As the cold snort fell, the person instantly collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were bulging so much they looked like they were about to pop out, filled with disbelief and regret.
If he had known she would be so ruthless, he would have been better off just saying so!
pity--
Next, Feng Zhiyi quickly dealt with three more people.
However, she did not get any useful information from them. Two of them bit their tongues and committed suicide just as she was about to take action against them.
Is he trying to protect himself from her?
Feng Zhiyi was instantly enraged!
Damn it!
They didn't even give her a chance to use the Truth Pill before taking her own life.
It wasn't until the ninth person that they finally managed to get the other person to talk.
"No, don't kill me! I'll talk, I'll talk! What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything..." The man put his hands behind his head, trembling all over, filled with regret!
If he had known that coming to the valley tonight would be dangerous, he would never have come.
Feng Zhiyi pressed a gun to his temple and a dagger to his neck. "I'm asking you, what about those people from before? Are they still alive? And where are they being held?"
"Some are still alive, while others died on the very first day they were brought back to the village."
"Those who are alive are locked in a secret room in the village. It is very well hidden. Only the elders and the clan chief know the entrance. No one else knows about it."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyi unconsciously tightened her grip on the dagger.
The situation was indeed worse than she had imagined.
"Who is that highly skilled person in your clan?"
Feng Azhuang, “…”
I regret it so much I want to slap myself.
Why didn't you just listen to your grandfather and stay quietly in the village? Why did you have to show off and follow them into the valley? Now look what's happened, you haven't even accomplished anything yet, and you're about to lose your life.
"Speak!" Feng Zhiyi pressed harder.
The dagger pierced Feng Azhuang's skin in an instant.
"Hiss—No, don't kill me, I...I...I..."
Feng Azhuang stammered, his tongue tied in knots, his whole body trembling. "I don't know, I really don't know. Even the clan chief doesn't know the master's surname; he's always just called him the master."
"I know nothing else!"
Was she blind and couldn't see that his identity was not simple?
Feng Zhiyi looked at him with an expression that said, "You're an idiot."
With a loud "thud," he fell face-first into the snow, his face almost completely buried. "Last chance!"
"Mmm..."
Feng Azhuang struggled desperately. It was so cold, so cold. He felt like his face was about to freeze into an ice sculpture. "Everyone calls him Mr. M. I really don't know anything else!"
He wasn't lying. Not only him, but no one in the entire village knew Mr. M's real name.
Mr. M?
Does this letter represent the other person's surname, or is it just a single letter designation?
After a few seconds of contemplation, Feng Zhi had already made up his mind.
She knocked the man unconscious, then took Feng Azhuang to meet up with her family's Ling Xiao.
She had only gone halfway when she ran into Lu Lingxiao, who was on his way to find her, and Feng Zhiyi immediately smiled.
"Ling Xiao!"
"Honey! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
As soon as Lu Lingxiao saw her, he subconsciously quickened his pace. He took three steps at a time and quickly walked to Feng Zhiyi's side. Then his gaze fell directly on her and he carefully examined her.
Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm fine. Everyone here has been dealt with. I checked and confirmed that there are no more ambushes around here. However, I didn't kill this person; I left him alive."
She pointed to Feng Azhuang, whom she was holding in her arms, and said, "I suspect he has a complicated background. Perhaps he can lead us into the village!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiao looked towards Feng Azhuang.
He quickly pulled the person over and picked him up. The person was quite chubby, and his wife must be exhausted from carrying him!
"By the way, how's it going on your end? Have you gotten any useful information?" Feng Zhiyi asked immediately.
