After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

The afternoon sun is still a little hot.

Li Qingqing and her group of more than ten people had been traveling for a day and a night.

As they approached the frontier, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate.

When passing by the nearby village, there were basically no villagers to be seen.

Along the way, Li Qingqing was disguised as a man. Her current identity is Li Feng's deputy general.

Li Feng said that this was Mu Yunjing's idea. There were many people in the military camp and the situation was complicated. There were also military supervisors watching at all times. It would be more convenient to move around in the military camp with a formal identity.

Li Qingqing felt that this identity was very good, at least it was easier to command people.

"Little sister, we are already halfway through the journey. If everything goes well, we can stop at the border town tonight." Li Feng whispered with a smile.

"Once we reach the border town, we're not far from the Southern Protectorate."

Li Feng rode on a horse and accompanied the carriage, occasionally chatting with Li Qingqing about the situation in the Protectorate and the border, as well as an introduction to the military personnel.

Li Qingqing was sitting in the carriage, which was prepared by Xie Xuan'an and was filled with supplies.

Therefore, Li Feng thought that the supplies in the car were the materials for making black gunpowder, and he didn't know that Li Qingqing had already put all the materials and supplies into the space.

Hearing that the distance was getting closer, Li Qingqing nodded to show that she understood, and then reminded with a smile:

"General, from now on you should address me as Lieutenant General Li Qing. Please don't make the mistake by mistake."

After hearing this, Li Feng smiled slightly. He was about to respond, but his expression changed at this moment.

As far as the eye can see, the originally smooth road is blocked by a thick tree trunk.

At the same time, the shadow guard driving the carriage also noticed something unusual and stopped the carriage.

"Be careful, there may be an ambush ahead." Li Feng whispered to the shadow guard.

He dismounted and stood beside the carriage, gripping his weapon tightly and glancing around vigilantly.

A dozen shadow guards quickly gathered around, forming a defensive circle and protecting the carriage in the middle.

Li Feng signaled two shadow guards to go and check the thick tree that was blocking the road, while the others paid close attention to the movements around them.

The two shadow guards approached the thick tree trunk cautiously. Suddenly, a dozen masked bandits jumped out from behind the tree.

The reason why they were considered bandits was mainly because their clothing was no different from the bandits Li Qingqing had seen before.

Li Qingqing felt that since the bandits were blocking the road, she had to say a line or two.

But these bandits obviously didn't want to talk. As soon as they jumped out, they started fighting with the shadow guards with their weapons.

The two shadow guards also reacted quickly, drew their weapons, and immediately joined the battle.

Li Feng gripped his spear tightly, his eyes cold. He signaled Li Qingqing to stay in the carriage while he led the shadow guards to quickly fight the bandits.

The number of people on both sides is about the same, but Li Feng's side has a clear advantage in terms of military strength.

He was agile and had sharp shooting skills. He cooperated well with the shadow guards and quickly killed a dozen masked bandits on the spot.

However, just when Li Feng thought the battle was about to end, more masked bandits rushed down from the mountains on both sides. They seemed to have planned it in advance, holding sharp blades and aiming directly at the carriage.

Li Qingqing had been closely watching the surrounding situation in the carriage. Seeing this, she quickly took out a spear from the space, jumped out of the carriage, and fought with the masked bandits.

The battle broke out instantly.

There were about fifty bandits rushing down from the mountains on both sides, and they pounced on her and the carriage like mantises, holding their swords.

If she didn't kill them one by one, she would be the one to die!

Li Qingqing was speechless.

Who could have told her that she was merely invited by His Royal Highness Prince Qing to go to the border to make a small contribution, yet she would be killed?

Li Qingqing brandished her spear and had no choice but to resign herself to defending, attacking the masked bandit's fatal points.

At this moment, she only had eyes for these bandits, without any hesitation or delay.

The enemy is numerous and we are few. If we hesitate for a moment, we will be beaten to pieces in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Feng and others rushed over.

Li Feng shook the spear in his hand, knocked down a bandit, and quickly came to Li Qingqing's side.

He and Li Qingqing stood back to back, their coordination seamless, and his movements were equally swift and powerful.

The dozen or so shadow guards that Li Qingqing brought had undergone special training in Qingfeng Pavilion before. Their kung fu had improved a lot compared to before, so they had no difficulty at all in fighting against these bandits.

With the addition of Li Feng and the others, Li Qingqing instantly felt much more relaxed.

These bandits were all wearing turbans. Their fighting ability was not very strong, but their targets were very obvious.

During the fierce battle, the bandits were engaged in a fierce confrontation with Li Qingqing and others. Two of the bandits even rushed directly to the front of the carriage. Their purpose was obviously to drive the carriage away.

Seeing this, Li Qingqing immediately stepped forward to stop them. The spear in her hand was as fast as lightning, and instantly knocked a bandit who had just climbed onto the carriage away.

Li Feng killed another bandit who rushed to the front of the carriage.

The two smiled at each other and then jumped into the next fight.

The battle lasted for about half an hour. After a fierce battle, all the masked bandits were finally killed.

The ground was littered with the bodies of bandits, and the scene was a mess.

Li Feng looked around and confirmed that there were no missed enemies. He signaled the shadow guards to clean up the battlefield and ordered several people to search the bandits.

Li Qingqing felt that the bandits' moves were strangely familiar. She walked straight up to one of the bandits, removed his veil, and after examining him carefully for a moment, she said:

"General, these people are not ordinary bandits. They are most likely soldiers from the Qi'an Kingdom."

After hearing what Li Qingqing said, Li Feng immediately walked to her side and carefully examined the bandit's face.

Then he lifted the veil of the next bandit.

"That's right! They are definitely from Qi'an!" Li Feng frowned.

"We never expected them to sneak into our territory, and in such large numbers!"

"They just tried to steal the supplies on the carriage." Li Qingqing turned to Li Feng and continued:

"If this is just a coincidence, then it's fine. But if they know that the supplies on the carriage are key ingredients for making black fireballs, then this matter is quite serious."

"If that's the case, it seems my whereabouts have been exposed?" Li Feng frowned and thought.

His excuse for leaving the military camp was to escort Mu Yunjing back to Kyoto to participate in the moon worship ceremony. No one should know his real purpose.

While Li Feng was thinking, he watched Li Qingqing dealing with the bandits' bodies.

She poured something on the corpse, and after a while, the corpse disappeared.

"What is that?" Li Feng asked.

"I made this corrosive potion myself. If these people don't clean it up, I'm worried that it will leave traces and cause unnecessary trouble." Li Qingqing explained.

Li Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he seemed to remember something and asked doubtfully:

"Little sister, how did you recognize these people as soldiers from the Qi'an Kingdom?"

Li Qingqing was stunned. Yes, how did she recognize these people?

The farthest distance she had traveled before was from Lihua Village to Qiu Shui Town. Where had she seen these people before?
