Lianyi's dagger pierced the back of the Hu man's head fiercely, killing him instantly. As soon as he loosened his grip, Zhang Fengrui fell down. Lianyi, whose horse's leg was broken, used the tip of his stick to lift Zhang Fengrui up, thus avoiding the tragedy of falling face down on the ground.
Then Lianyi rolled forward and held Zhang Fengrui in her arms. At this time, Zhang Fengliang and Zhang Fengyong rolled and crawled to Lianyi's side.
"Feng Liang, take your two brothers and run back. Someone will pick you up!"
Zhang Fengrui was still in shock, but the little guy bit his lips tightly. Although his eyes were red, he didn't cry out.
Although Zhang Fengliang was covered in dirt, he was the eldest brother after all. He grabbed his younger brother's hand and ran back, with Zhang Fengyong following closely behind.
This gap was enough for the Hu people who fell off their horses to get up from the ground. Then they found that their boss was dead with a dagger stuck in the back of his head. Lianyi walked over and pulled out the dagger easily.
"Ah! You ugly bastard, how dare you kill our grassland warriors! I will kill you, peel off your skin and make a drum, and beat you every day!"
One of the Hu people, who was wearing a tiger-skin coat with half of his shoulder exposed, shouted, then swung his scimitar and rushed towards Lianyi, and the remaining seven or eight people followed closely behind.
Lianyi was not afraid at all. Holding a stick in one hand and a dagger in the other, she moved nimbly around several people. In a moment, she had slit their throats. The last Hu man who rushed towards Lianyi was shot in the forehead by an arrow and fell to the ground, dead.
Lianyi then looked at the person who shot the arrow. He was a young general. He was surrounded by ten horsemen. It was obviously a cavalry unit. They should be chasing this group of Hu people deep into Huangzhou.
"Girl, you're so cruel that you broke the horse's leg!"
One of the cavalry spoke up.
"If I hadn't been more ruthless, it would have been my brother who died."
Lian Yi had already wiped the dagger clean on the Hu man and put it back in her arms. Then she bowed to these people and said:
"My daughter and her family came from Liangzhou and want to go to Huangfeng City to visit relatives. I wonder if you can show us the way?"
"No problem, just follow us. We are the defenders of Huangfeng City."
"Thank you, I'll go bring my family over."
Lianyi turned around and prepared to leave.
"Girl, these barbarian heads can be exchanged for silver, don't you want them?"
"It's not my own achievement to capture these people. You chased them until they were exhausted. I just took advantage of them. In the end, I had to trouble you to rescue me. I feel guilty for it."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she turned around and reunited with her family. She had already seen Zhang Shi and Song Dachuan, but the two did not dare to get close and just watched from afar.
"Feng Xiaoqi, this ugly girl is amazing! She killed the Hu people very skillfully!"
The one called Feng Xiaoqi was the leader of the team, Feng Kun. He then spoke:
"Didn't you hear them say that they came from Liangzhou? Liangzhou is suffering from a famine, and I heard that the victims have started to cause trouble. A team of 100 people stationed here has been transferred to Liangzhou for support.
They were able to walk here from Liangzhou, protecting their brothers and family along the way. If they didn’t have some skills, they would have been eaten alive long ago.”
When Feng Kun looked at the ugly girl just now, he smelled a scent of danger. He was sure that if he really did something behind her back, their fate would be the same as those barbarians lying on the ground.
Lian Yi came back with three children, Zhang Shi and Song Dachuan, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, especially the three mothers, who dared not let go of their children's hands. They were fine all the way to escape the famine, but they almost got into trouble in Huangzhou, which scared them so much that their legs went weak.
Old Mrs. Zhang finally came to her senses. These were her three grandsons. If anything really happened to them, she would cry her heart out.
"Grandpa, grandma, we are lucky. We ran into the soldiers from Huangfeng City who were chasing the enemy. They happened to be traveling with us and are willing to escort us for a while."
After the ripples passed, the good news was told to dispel the depressed atmosphere.
"Really? Would they?"
"Yes! I helped them capture those barbarians, and the reward belongs to them. Naturally, they are willing to sell us out."
Lian Yi explained immediately.
"The elder sister was really powerful. She knocked over all the horses. The barbarians couldn't run far without their horses, so they were caught."
After Zhang Fengliang recovered, he immediately told everyone about Lianyi's bravery.
With this episode, the Zhang family and Feng Kun's cavalry team moved forward together. In fact, they were not far from Huangfeng City. After walking for two days, they saw the city wall of Huangfeng City.
“We’re finally here!”
The Zhang family members all expressed their feelings.
Lianyi didn't hesitate and went straight to Feng Kun, asking him to introduce someone to them. They wanted to settle down in a nearby village.
"Okay, I'll take you there so they won't bully you because you're from a foreign land."
Feng Kun agreed readily. After all, they had already received the reward, so helping them could be considered a way of repaying a favor.
Because of the presence of Feng Kun, the local tyrant, the brokerage firm warmly received Lianyi and his party, and found a suitable location in Qianshui Village, five miles away from Huangfeng City.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were introduced by Feng Xiaoqi, I would have kept these fields for a while. I'm sure I could sell them for a high price!"
The middle-aged man said with spit flying.
Lian Yi wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this, and she knew that this was their usual routine. After the other party finished speaking, Lian Yi spoke:
"Thank you, Brother Zhang. We are Feng Xiaoqi's distant relatives. We came to him because our family suffered a disaster. For Feng Xiaoqi's sake, you have to help us!"
Lianyi raised the banner without any guilt.
"Mr. Liu, a wealthy man from Qianshui Village, has a daughter who married someone from the south of the Yangtze River. They plan to move the whole family there, so they want to sell the fifty acres of land and the two-story house. Let's see if you can afford it."
The man in the chapter's eyes flashed, and he immediately spoke.
"Are these fifty acres of land first-rate or middle-rate? Are these two-story houses made of earth or bricks?"
Old Zhang asked very carefully.
“There are ten acres of top-quality land, and the rest are medium-quality land. The house is made of bricks and tiles. The Liu family, including the servants, have only lived here for less than five years. They originally wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for their only daughter.
As a result, the daughter was born beautiful and was favored by a fourth-rank official, who directly proposed marriage to the Liu family. If he was not in a hurry to go to Jiangnan, he would not have sold her so hastily. "
"Okay, Zhang Zhongren, buying a house and land is not a trivial matter after all. We need to go and see it in person. After paying the silver, we still need to get a red deed from the government. Is this a problem?"
Old Zhang said.
"That's no problem. You were introduced by Feng Xiaoqi. I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if you dare."
Then, the family split into two groups. One group waited in Huangfeng City, while the men in the family went to look at the land and houses.
Lianyi pulled Song Dachuan aside and whispered:
"Dad, that house has nothing to do with our family, so we won't look at it. You mainly look at the land, and then buy a residential plot in Qianshui Village, and we will build a house ourselves."
"Okay, I understand!" (End of this chapter)
