Huang Shi’s expression was grave after he finished his inquiry.
When he returned to the place where Qin Xiaoyao and the others were resting, he told them what he had found out.
“Damn Liao scumbags!” After updating the rest, Huang Shi angrily waved his fist and cursed out loud.
“It’s a pity that the Second Prince has left Hua An Prefecture. Otherwise… otherwise, how could the Liao scumbags have invaded Hua An Prefecture?”
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at Huang Shi.
She then spoke up, “Only a small number of Liao soldiers have entered Hua An Prefecture. If the Second Prince really abandoned High Pass Town, a large number of Liao soldiers would march straight in unchallenged.”
“At that point, it would be a real disaster not only for Hua An Prefecture but for the entire Great Jin State.”
Unfortunately, in the vast Great Jin State, there were not many generals who were good at war.
Otherwise, how would the Liao State dare to act so impudently?
Huang Fei and the others were astounded.
They didn’t expect Qin Xiaoyao to have such a perceptive insight.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t explain too much.
Not surprisingly, she knew all this from her husband.
“Leader, are we still going to Chen County?” Huang An asked Qin Xiaoyao worriedly after he recovered himself.
The rest of the group also looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“We’re going.” Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes darkened.
“Just be careful on the road.
“After entering Chen County, we’ll go around the town. Try to avoid bumping into the Liao army.
“If we run into them…” Qin Xiaoyao paused for a moment.
“If we run into them, what should we do?” Huang Fei asked nervously.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Huang Fei, and a hint of hostility flashed across her eyes.
“If we can’t avoid them, just kill them. Just take it as exacting revenge for the people of Chen County.”
These Liao soldiers who had entered the heart of the Great Jin State had taken many lives.
After this, they might even rush to Mountain Spring Town and threaten her family.
She just didn’t have enough time and she was alone.
Otherwise, if she encountered such an opportunity, she might have stayed where she was to slay all the Liao soldiers until none was left.
Huang Fei’s eyes flickered. “Alright! Then we shall kill the Liao scumbags!” he said angrily.
“Kill the Liao scumbags!” The other three echoed him in a low voice, but their voices were filled with determination.
After resting and taking their lunch, the group quickly continued on their way.
As they got closer to Chen County, they saw more refugees.
At dusk, the group finally left Zhao County and entered Chen County.
Just as Qin Xiaoyao was about to ask everyone to dismount and rest, she suddenly heard shrieks and sounds of fighting coming from the front.
Realizing that something was happening, Qin Xiaoyao quickly displayed a “halt” gesture, signaling the four men behind her to stop.
Huang Fei and the others also heard the noise. Their faces turned grim, and they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“I’ll go take a look in front. You guys wait here.” Qin Xiaoyao said after looking at the conditions of the four men.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to bring them along, but the weapons in their hands were too crude.
These weapons were fine to deal with ordinary people but to deal with the Liao army who were used to fighting on the battlefield, the weapon users would only be throwing their lives away.
It was safer for her to go alone.
She could attack when pressing forward and flee when retreating.
If there were not many people from the Liao army, she could just slaughter them and seize some weapons for her followers to use.
Later, on their journey, she would take some time to teach them some saber techniques and hand-to-hand combat skills. By the time they reached High Pass Town, their combat ability would improve a lot.
If there were too many people from the Liao army, it would not be difficult for them to escape after the sky became dark since they had horses.
“Leader…” Huang Fei called out hesitantly.
He roughly understood what his Leader meant. He knew that he felt that they were not strong enough and might not be of any help.
However, when they knew that there was danger ahead, how could they let Leader take the risk alone?
To their surprise, Qin Xiaoyao simply tossed out one sentence. “Listen to my orders.”
Then, she left on her horse.
“Big Brother!” Huang Shi called out to Huang Fei worriedly. He looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s departing back profile with an expression full of conflicting emotions.
The rest of the group also looked at Huang Fei, waiting for him to make a decision.
“We listen to our Leader,” Huang Fei said in a low voice.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he must become stronger.
They followed their Leader not to seek his protection, but to help him and make a name for themselves with him.
The rest of the group looked at Huang Fei and nodded.
Qin Xiaoyao drove her horse forward and went around a mountain ridge. She soon saw the battlefield.
It was actually a dozen Liao soldiers going on a killing spree, chasing a few dozen refugees.
The Liao soldiers held their long Liao-style sabers and killed anyone they saw among the mass of fleeing civilians.
After killing them, they looted their belongings.
When they encountered women, they would reach out their demonic claws and pull them back.
If the women screamed and didn’t cooperate, they would be killed.
By the time Qin Xiaoyao saw this, there were already many corpses on the ground.
Qin Xiaoyao’s face turned ominous. She spurred the horse forward and dashed out like the wind.
Then, she pulled out a dagger, bent over, and slit the throat of the Liao soldier closest to her.
The murderous Liao soldier, who had just killed a few people in a row, did not expect to die in an instant.
When he fell, his face was still full of disbelief.
Qin Xiaoyao took the opportunity to dismount and snatch the Liao-style saber from the hands of the Liao soldier.
Then, she quickly mounted her horse again and dashed rapidly into the battlefield.
Following this, it was as if Qin Xiaoyao was possessed by the god of death as she tore her way through on her horse, slaying wildly along the way.
She killed every single Liao soldier she saw along the way.
Every time she made a move, she was decisive and ruthless. Each time she struck, the adversary would be killed with one slash.
Soon, the cries of the commoners coming from the battlefield were mixed with the screams of the Liao soldiers.
The Liao soldiers at the back finally discovered Qin Xiaoyao.
They realized that her killing intent was extremely strong and that she was very skilled.
The leader of the Liao army immediately ordered the few Liao soldiers closest to Qin Xiaoyao to stop her.
However, who could possibly stop Qin Xiaoyao? In this era, if she claimed to be Number Two in martial arts, no one would dare to claim to be Number One.
Facing those few Liao soldiers, she used the Liao-style saber to attack the legs of her own horse. With a flip of her body, she leaped off the horse in advance.
Then, she threw the Liao-style saber in her hand and slit the throat of the Liao soldier nearest to her.
Following this, her body flashed forward and she picked up the Liao-style saber of that fallen Liao soldier.
As fast as lightning, she arrived in the middle of the Liao army.
Then, the wretched screams of the Liao soldiers could be heard. In less than five seconds, four Liao soldiers were lying dead on the ground.
This scene shocked the Liao soldiers at the rear.
The leader of the Liao army panicked and quickly mounted his horse.
“Quick! Retreat!” he said in a panic.
The rest of the Liao soldiers did as they were told, scrambling away in a chaotic panic.
The lucky ones managed to get on their horse.
Those who were unlucky couldn’t even get on the horses because they were too anxious.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t waste any time and abandoned her injured horse.
She darted towards the Liao soldier nearest to her.
After slaying the Liao soldier with one strike, she mounted his warhorse.
Immediately after that, she raised her Liao-style saber and went after the fleeing Liao soldiers on a killing spree.
And so, the refugees witnessed a peculiar scene.
The Liao soldiers who had been chasing them on horses were now being hunted in turn.
Those evil demons who were so vicious earlier were now as flustered as mice.
Ultimately, they were unable to escape their doom.
That was right. Qin Xiaoyao tore through the field on her horse and caught up with the Liao soldiers lagging behind in no time. She slew them easily.
Only the horse of the leading Liao soldier ran the fastest.
However, in the end, he still couldn’t escape..
