Chapter 787: Here Comes an Expert
Just then, a team of fast horses came galloping.
On the first horse sat a young man in official uniform, holding a long whip in his hand, shouting to get out of the way while whipping the crowd.
Many of the onlookers were whipped to the ground, and the horses' hooves trampled mercilessly on everything that blocked his way.
Someone in the crowd standing on the street exclaimed, "It's Lord Jin Fei, the commander of the North City Army!"
Jin Fei on the horse suddenly jumped up and stabbed a Ruyilou assassin who had just withdrawn from the pile of officers and soldiers.
The man struggled and shouted, "The Holy Mother has come to the world, and the people have turned over--" and died.
Jin Fei drew back his sword, and then threw a handful of caltrops in his hand in all directions. Several assassins who had just jumped up were hit by the caltrops and fell to the ground.
Jin Fei shouted, "Stop them, don't let any of them get away!"
The executioner was delighted to see Jin Fei. Jin Fei was a skilled martial artist and a top fighter in the capital.
With him here to help, there would be no worries.
He didn't know that Duke Qin and his son had been rescued. The officers and soldiers surrounded the prisoner car and couldn't see anything. Besides, Gu Fei disappeared just a moment ago.
Gu Fei teleported to Puchang City, put Xiao Yu down, pulled down the mask, and said, "I'll go see how they retreated."
After that, she disappeared.
Xiao Yu reacted and reached out to grab her, but caught nothing.
He looked at his empty fist, and a sense of helplessness and frustration came over him.
This feeling of watching Xiao Fei fight for him but he couldn't help was really going to drive him crazy.
Gu Fei chose to teleport to the corner of the street where she saw the beheading last time.
She suddenly appeared between the two men.
A man turned his head to look at her and said unhappily, "Why are you pushing so hard? Move away."
Gu Fei rolled her eyes at him and quickly got to the front of the crowd. She saw a young man in the uniform of the Wucheng Military Department, moving around like a hawk, aiming at the assassins and escorts of Ruyi Building who had not yet withdrawn.
Gu Fei did not expect the Wucheng Military Department to come so quickly. Fortunately, she did not hesitate, otherwise it would be a question whether the people could be rescued.
But this is not the time to be thankful. The three people rescued were just exchanged for the lives of others.
She looked at the situation in the field, her heart was in a knot. The assassins and escorts were wearing ordinary people's clothes, which was very different from the neat official uniforms worn by the officers and soldiers in the field. They were almost shining targets.
She didn't know these people, but they came here to die because of her words.
Although most of them were assassins and innocent lives were inevitable, for Gu Fei, they were her subordinates and were fighting for her.
She suddenly understood what Palace Master Yan said. Good and evil are not absolute. There is no right or wrong, only positions.
From the perspective of the court, these people killed soldiers and rescued prisoners, which violated the law and was unforgivable.
From her perspective, these people were her partners and subordinates.
She hesitated, not knowing whether she should put the people lying on the ground and those fighting with soldiers into the space regardless of everything.
It was just that the distance was a little far now. The larger the volume and weight of the object, the closer it needed to be to put it into the space.
She had to get close to them to save the remaining people.
