Chapter 302 Buried Talents
Xu Yifei reacted quickly. Before anyone could react, he flipped over, grabbed his weapon, and rushed out!
Even Xu Zhenbang, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't react as quickly as him.
"I'll go with you and see, you all stay here!"
Xu Zhenbang stopped Yan Yuze and the others, and then caught up with his son.
Yun Zhao glanced at Scarface and Little Flower beside him. The leopard and tiger stretched and rushed out at an extremely fast speed!
Xu Yifei has strong physical abilities and his extremely fast speed makes him difficult to defend against.
Thick smoke billowed from the mountain right behind their courtyard.
The villagers from Linjia Village who came to offer their congratulations were taken aback.
"The Southern Barbarians, the Southern Barbarians are here again!"
Yang Jingyan immediately ordered his men to be on alert: "Quickly, go and inform the town officials!"
"Lord Yang need not worry, the southern barbarians are no threat."
Lin Wenfei quickly stopped the person.
"Grandpa Village Chief, why do you say the Southern Barbarians are here again?"
Yun Zhao looked up and asked, feigning curiosity.
"We occasionally have small groups of southern barbarian refugees crossing the mountains to steal our food. They're usually just a few of them, and they're probably here again now!"
Seeing that they didn't understand, Lam Ka-tung explained again.
"This mountain is shrouded in miasma and teeming with wild beasts; there aren't many southern barbarians who can get here."
The villages around here usually handle things themselves; by the time the authorities arrive, they've already been driven back!
Everyone recalled that day when, as the last survivors had left, the villagers grabbed their weapons and defied the government.
Indeed, they are fierce.
"But I think the commotion was quite loud."
Yan Yuze was somewhat uneasy.
Although Yun Zhao raised many wild beasts, the Nanman were behind this mountain after all.
Judging from the way this government operates, they probably won't care about this matter at all.
What will happen to my cousin's family if the southern barbarians launch a large-scale attack one day?
"This commotion wasn't caused by the southern barbarians; it was our trap."
There were many outsiders around, so Lu Xinnian could only offer a brief explanation.
"organ?"
Yan Yuze looked at the woman in front of him with surprise.
I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.
"A few days ago, Young Master Xu was worried that the Southern Barbarians might cross the mountains, so he asked me and Third Young Master Xu to find a way to set up some traps."
It won't hurt anyone, but it will make a lot of noise, serving as a warning.
After all, this mountain doesn't belong to them. If civilians or wild animals accidentally wander in, they can't afford to harm innocent lives.
"Young Master Xu?"
Yan Yuze almost blurted out, "You brute, you good-for-nothing."
"I see, no wonder it caused such a commotion."
Yunxuan suddenly realized.
Unexpectedly, this idea was proposed by Xu Yifei.
The father and son who had leaped away were now hiding in the bushes.
Xu Zhenbang gestured to him, and Xu Yifei then stealthily moved in another direction.
Smoke billowed around the agency, and coughing could be heard coming from inside.
Someone definitely broke in!
Xu Yifei gripped the short knife in his hand, held his breath, and continued to stealthily approach.
"What the hell! How come Linjia Village has hidden traps?"
A voice came from inside, with a strange accent.
They're clearly not ordinary citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xu Yifei wasn't in a hurry; he stayed there quietly, waiting.
"Should we go back and report to our master?"
"What are you going to tell your master? That you've been tricked? Get out of here, you idiot!"
Just as the two were about to leave, Xu Yifei suddenly sprang up and pounced forward!
"who?!"
The two were taken aback and retreated hastily.
Unexpectedly, as they retreated, someone had already blocked their path from behind!
The two men raised their machetes and chopped at it!
"Smack!"
The person behind grabbed one of the men's wrists with one hand, and with a swift backhand, dislocated his arm!
"Third brother!"
Before anyone could react, Xu Yifei had already flashed out and subdued the other person!
The father and son worked together seamlessly and tied the two men up!
Knowing they were no match for the opponent, the two immediately feigned weakness.
"Who are you? Help!"
"We went up the mountain to chop firewood, why are you arresting us?"
"Chopping wood? You should work on your accent first."
Xu Yifei rolled his eyes, grabbed one of them with each hand, and walked straight down the mountain.
"No, who are you!"
That person is incredibly strong!
Both of them were strong, adult men skilled in martial arts, and this man was carrying both of them on one arm!
Xu Yifei held back his words, which impressed Xu Zhenbang.
He followed behind his son in silence, pondering what had just happened.
This son is usually impulsive, but today he managed to control his temper and wait for them to finish speaking before taking action.
It seems that Lu Xun taught him very well.
That's progressing rapidly!
After descending the mountain, Yun Zhao's wild beasts lined up in a row, protecting the people attending the birthday banquet behind them.
Upon seeing that Xu Yifei had returned safely, they immediately scattered.
Xu Yifei escorted the person to the pavilion at the birthday banquet, and Lin Jiadong recognized him at a glance.
"These are the right and left henchmen of the Southern Barbarian chieftain! They fought with us just last winter, why are they here again?"
"Could they be planning to attack our Great Zhou?"
"No way? What do the Southern Barbarians have to fight us with?"
That's what the villagers said, but they were actually very panicked inside.
Nobody wants to go to war, even if the other side isn't a powerful nation.
These ordinary people already had a hard time even when the two countries were at peace.
If a fight really breaks out, won't they be the ones who suffer?
"Don't rush, go back first, Lord Yang. Let's interrogate them to find out what happened."
Yunxuan quickly reassured the villagers.
"Yes, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."
Yang Jingyan came to accept the maritime trade and also to celebrate Yun Zhao's birthday.
But he was also a good official who genuinely worked hard, so naturally he wouldn't abandon the people.
After hearing this, the villagers left the place.
Yunxuan and Yang Jingyan went to interrogate the Southern Barbarian spy, and Yan Yuze couldn't help but look Xu Yifei up and down.
"General Yan, what's going on?"
Xu Yifei keenly noticed his gaze and asked in confusion.
"I've only just realized how perceptive the eldest young master is! No wonder he's the son of the General Who Protects the Nation!"
Yan Yuze sighed.
Xu Yifei paused for a moment, then scratched his head sheepishly.
"Haha, I'm nowhere near as good as my dad."
"No, no! The eldest young master is still young and has not received formal training."
If one were like General Xu, going to the battlefield at a young age, one would surely achieve great things!
Yan Yuze's words can be considered a very high evaluation of Xu Yifei.
The Yun and Xu families looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.
Lu Xun remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
“Young Master Yan is right. I also think that Young Master Xu is very suitable for military campaigns in some respects.”
Lu Xun was originally from the Northwest Army, and he naturally discovered this during the time he was training Xu Yifei.
"After just a few days of practice, the young master's acumen has improved considerably, enabling him to handle unexpected situations much better."
They also possess a natural reflex, just like just now, when even General Xu hadn't reacted yet.
The eldest son had already rushed out. Since arriving in Linjia Village, he had often trained on the mountain.
But at the same time, he was observing his surroundings and had traps set up—all qualities that an excellent general must possess.
Xu Yifei blinked and smiled sheepishly.
"Then I'm really wasting all this skill."
Everyone fell silent.
Isn't that right?
What use is a convict with the talent of a general?
Yan Yuze looked serious and couldn't help but stand up.
"No, such talent cannot be buried in a place like this!"
Yun Zhao looked at Yan Yuze, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Is my uncle planning to find a way to make my maternal uncle atone for his crimes?!
