Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 240 Token

When Mo Lin saw the token, his heart tightened.

I thought she was just an ordinary woman, but who would have thought that she actually had the token of the border military camp.

This token is a symbol of authority in any camp, and the holder of the token is respected in the army.

If the token was indeed given by General Gu, then he really had no right to question or arrest her.

However, the doubts did not dissipate. Mo Lin's doubts deepened. How could General Gu be involved with such a woman? He forced out a sentence: "Why should I believe you? What evidence do you have to prove the authenticity of the token?"

Faced with Mo Lin's stubbornness, Xiao Zhixue decided to teach him a lesson.

She gently put the token into place, and almost at the same time, the whip at her waist sprang out of a hole like a snake, cutting through the air sharply and heading straight for Mo Lin's face.

Seeing the whip coming, Mo Lin quickly raised his sword to block it. Yang Shang took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and quickly dodged to the side.

Sparks flew between the blade and the tip of the whip in the air. Just as the blade was about to hit the tip of the whip, Xiao Zhixue retracted the whip at an astonishing speed, followed by another sharp swing of the whip. Her movements were clean and neat, and the sound of the whip echoed in the air, clear and pleasant.

Mo Lin didn't dare to be careless. He dodged while shouting, "What are you standing there for? Catch her!"

The soldiers gave up their original goal and surrounded Xiao Zhixue.

Seeing this, Yang Shang rushed to her side without hesitation, ready to resist together.

Xiao Zhixue glanced at Yang Shang from the corner of her eye, secretly admiring his loyalty, but she only felt deep disdain for these stubborn officers and soldiers.

Since she knew they were General Gu's men, she had her own countermeasures.

She was seen waving the whip, and after several lashes, those aggressive soldiers were forced to retreat again and again. Xiao Zhixue took the opportunity to quickly approach Mo Lin.

The whip was like a gust of wind, sweeping towards Mo Lin with a whistling sound.

Mo Lin held the sword tightly, intending to cut off the arrogant whip.

However, just as he was about to strike with all his might, he discovered that the whip was just a cover, and the real killer move was the long sword that suddenly appeared and shone with cold light. It was placed on his neck in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone stop it, or your head will remain here today!"

The cold sword tip pressed against his skin, causing Mo Lin's back to shiver and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Before he had time to take a closer look at how the sword appeared, he was forced to give the order to stop.

Seeing that their leader was subdued, the soldiers dared not move and the atmosphere became tense.

At this time, a little bird that had been perched on Xiao Zhixue's shoulder, Jiuer, flapped its wings and flew high, heading straight for Mo Lin's face, pecking at Mo Lin's face with its sharp beak, leaving a trail of blood marks.

Mo Lin felt unbearable pain, but he didn't dare to resist, for fear that the sword on his neck would ruthlessly chop him off if he wasn't careful.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue nodded with satisfaction and then called Jiuer back.

"I will report your private conscription of men to General Gu. Your punishment is not far away."

Xiao Zhixue's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mo Lin's heart hard and making him feel as if he was on the edge of an abyss.

After this battle, he had a profound understanding of Xiao Zhixue's abilities.

Not only was she an excellent martial artist, but she was also extremely brave. The soldiers who were hit by her whip were still lying on the ground.

If she really steps onto the battlefield, she will definitely be a powerful general that the enemy cannot resist.

At this moment, the doubts deep in Mo Lin's heart turned into unquestionable certainty that there was indeed an unusual relationship between Xiao Zhixue and the prestigious General Gu.

Fear was like invisible ice, quietly climbing up his back. He was worried that if Xiao Zhixue really got angry and revealed this absurd thing to General Gu, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, the reason why he was able to leave his original unit and come to this strange land was all due to his past heroic performance on the battlefield and the appreciation of his superiors.

As a newcomer facing unfamiliar surroundings and faces, Mo Lin luckily got the position of team leader thanks to a few words of praise from his colleagues. His heart was already filled with anxiety and relief.

The captain's chair was not even warm yet, and he had just started to enjoy the small satisfaction brought by his authority, but he was clearly aware that once General Gu found out that he had arrested people indiscriminately just to make up the numbers, not only would his hard-earned position of captain be in vain, but he would also probably be severely punished according to the strict military regulations.

The physical pain made him tremble and shudder just thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin couldn't help but tremble and was forced to face the current serious situation.

Xiao Zhixue keenly caught the paleness on Mo Lin's face. She knew that her words had penetrated his psychological defenses accurately like a sharp arrow.

Her voice was cold, like the chill of winter, and every word she spoke revealed an unquestionable power: "I can tell you frankly that the so-called deserters from Longfei Village were actually rescued by me. You can report the truth to General Gu and see whether he punishes you or comes to arrest me. After all, I have done him a favor and healed his wounds."

Mo Lin's heart was in turmoil, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

It turns out that behind the many soldiers who were mysteriously rescued, hidden was Xiao Zhixue.

She mentioned that she had treated General Gu before, which undoubtedly confirmed the legend that the legendary figure in the border camp who could bring people back to life and was known as the "female doctor" was Xiao Zhixue in front of her.

This story has spread widely in the army. Although Mo Lin has only been here for a short time, he has already heard about it through various channels.

At that time, he had secretly admired in his heart what kind of person could have such miraculous medical skills to save so many soldiers.

Now, having seen it with his own eyes, he felt that his actions had undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest and got him into huge trouble.

Regret surged like a tide, and he denounced his ignorance for not knowing how high the sky was and how deep the earth was, and for having to provoke this hidden master - Xiao Zhixue.

Faced with this irreversible mistake, he could only try his best to make amends, his tone gentle, almost pleading: "So you are the legendary Doctor Xiao. I am too stupid and really shouldn't..."

As he finished speaking, Mo Lin began to slap his cheeks hard. The "pa pa" sound was particularly harsh in the quiet environment.

The soldiers around witnessed this scene and were all shocked, exchanging looks of disbelief.

Mo Lin's grip was quite strong, and soon his face became swollen and bruised, like two red and purple buns that had been squeezed.

Xiao Zhixue watched coldly, seemingly having no interest in his self-punishment. Finally, she could no longer bear it and interrupted, "That's enough!"

Mo Lin stopped when he heard that. His eyes were full of pleading. He looked at Xiao Zhixue and said weakly, "I know I was wrong. I hope that Doctor Xiao will be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

Xiao Zhixue pointed at the unsightly remains on the ground, her tone calm but with irresistible majesty: "Order your men to clean them up, pile them together, and burn them."
