Ji Feiyu acted like a shrew, hitting and shouting as she thought that since she had started this, she might as well see it through.
Sure enough, the two officers were caught off guard and got a good beating from her. Then the people behind them reacted and drew their swords one after another.
The leader cursed loudly, "Where did this shrew come from? How dare she lay hands on military officers? She really doesn't value her life!"
Ji Feiyu shouted out against the injustice of her fate, "If you have the guts, come at me all together, you bunch of men! I'd like to see how you'll bully a defenseless woman!"
Hearing this, everyone stopped. It would indeed be embarrassing for so many men to deal with a single woman.
Seeing their hesitation, Ji Feiyu threw away the branch and started running towards Xinghua Village. It was really terrifying for her to face so many people alone. Next time, she should carry enough poison with her. Otherwise, in a group fight, she would surely be at a disadvantage!
Just then, someone shouted from behind, "Boss, don't fall for that woman's trick! She dared to insult us like this. She's no weak woman!"
Hearing this, the others responded one after another and rushed towards Ji Feiyu with their swords drawn.
Once again, Ji Feiyu regretted not learning martial arts well from the grand tutor. If she had, she would surely have beaten them to their knees, begging for mercy.
In a hurry, Ji Feiyu put her fingers in her mouth and whistled. Immediately, she heard the horses behind her snort and neigh restlessly. She knew how to use certain sounds to anger animals, and at the same time, it was also a signal to Hua Hudie.
The soldiers at the back went back to soothe the horses in a flurry. Meanwhile, one of the soldiers in front leaped forward and pushed her hard. Ji Feiyu fell to the ground instantly.
It's over!
The man was about to pounce on her when Ji Feiyu kicked him in the face. The soldiers who came later were even more merciless. They directly swung their swords at her. Ji Feiyu rolled to one side just in time to avoid the attack. Then she grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at them.
One of them got dirt in his eyes and shouted. The others were even more enraged.
It seemed that the officers were really angered by her. They all rushed forward to teach her a lesson. Ji Feiyu felt sad for this army under the rule of Dayong. How slack they were that so many of them couldn't subdue a weak woman with ordinary martial arts skills!
Just then, the officer on horseback came galloping over. Ji Feiyu thought she might die here today when a pair of warm hands helped her up. It was Hua Hudie.
Hua Hudie stood in front of her with a gloomy face and said to the crowd, "Who dares to bully my wife?"
No one saw how Hua Hudie appeared. People only felt that his figure was eerie. It seemed that he just flashed and was suddenly beside them. They couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, someone still tried to boost their courage and shouted, "Damn it! Another one who wants to die!"
Ji Feiyu saw that they were scared and took advantage of the situation. She hid behind Hua Hudie and shouted at them, "It's you who don't value your lives! Don't you know that the man in front of you is the Jade - faced Divine Doctor who has killed countless people? If you have the guts, come at us together. I'd like to see how you'll die!"
Someone was unconvinced and said loudly, "You bitch, you have a big mouth. I'd like to see how you'll die!"
The situation between the two sides was tense and on the verge of breaking out.
At this time, the leading officer asked suspiciously, "Are you really the Jade - faced Divine Doctor?"
Hua Hudie said seriously, "It's me. I've been living in seclusion here for a long time. I don't know where I've offended you that you treat my wife like this."
One of the soldiers said, "Boss, are we still afraid of him? Let's go together."
But the officer said, "No. The Jade - faced Divine Doctor is a person in the martial arts world. We'd better not provoke him. I think we should just let this matter go today..."
"But boss, didn't you see how we were bullied by that bitch?"
The officer roared, "That's enough! Aren't you ashamed enough?"
The soldiers immediately fell silent.
Just then, a fast - riding horse came galloping from the way they came. When the rider saw everyone, he reined in his horse and stopped. He shouted angrily, "I told you to scout the way. Where have you been? What are you all standing here for? Have you been fighting with someone?"
The officer quickly said, "Commander, we just wanted to stop and buy some oranges, but unexpectedly, there were some misunderstandings."
Seeing that the situation was turning favorable, Ji Feiyu quickly poked her head out from behind Hua Hudie. "Oh, military officers, you took my oranges without paying! And the oranges on the other side were completely ruined. You have to compensate me anyway. It's not easy for a girl to do business. I was almost bullied just now."
Hearing this, the commander immediately understood what had happened and was furious. "You bunch of good - for - nothings! Hurry up and give the silver to her."
So the officer reluctantly threw a silver ingot at her, but Hua Hudie reached out and caught it. "And for that girl too."
The officer took out another silver ingot and threw it over.
Then the commander said, "Hurry up and go back with me. There's an important guest in the camp today. If anything goes wrong, none of you will escape! Giddyap!"
"Giddyap!" "Giddyap!" The officer followed suit and rode away. The other soldiers also went back to find their horses resentfully.
Then she and Hua Hudie walked up to the Orange Beauty. Hua Hudie stuffed both silver ingots into her hands and said, "Take this. Don't come here for the next few days. Just stay at home."
The Orange Beauty was crying like a flower in the rain. When she saw Hua Hudie, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and called out, "Mr. Hua!"
Ji Feiyu couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows.
It seemed that the two of them knew each other well. Could it be that this girl was the one Hua Hudie brought here on purpose to make her angry and stop selling oranges?
Hua Hudie patted the girl comfortingly and told her to get up from his arms. "Hurry up and go. Lie low for a while."
The Orange Beauty couldn't help but look back at Ji Feiyu. Her eyes were filled with both jealousy and gratitude.
Ji Feiyu felt really complicated.
Hua Hudie was really a charming playboy who could make all kinds of girls willingly give everything for him. He was truly amazing.
As soon as the Orange Beauty left, Hua Hudie snorted and picked up Ji Feiyu without saying a word. Ji Feiyu couldn't help but shout for him to put her down, but it was no use. She could only watch the scenery flash by upside - down. Ji Feiyu thought: Next time, she should learn light - body skills from him. Otherwise, she really couldn't stand being carried away like this every time!
After running back to the village, he finally couldn't stand Ji Feiyu's constant shouting and put her down. "Have you had enough of this?"
Ji Feiyu fell silent and looked at him nervously.
Hua Hudie frowned tightly and said seriously, "I've told you before not to go out and stir up trouble, but you just wouldn't listen. Now look, you've been bullied!"
Ji Feiyu thought that she might have been a bit at fault, but this whole thing couldn't be entirely blamed on her. If he hadn't brought the Orange Beauty here, and if the Orange Beauty weren't so beautiful, how would this have happened today?
