Cao Cao's soul transmigrates into Murong Fu's body

"Master Zhiguang, you also participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass?"

"Yes, and Zhao Qiansun and the ringleader too!"

As everyone's gaze turned to Zhao Qiansun, the mentally challenged Zhao Qiansun muttered to himself, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Upon seeing Qiao Feng, Zhao Qiansun immediately retreated, as if he had seen the Khitan war god of the Battle of Yanmen Pass!

"Benefactor, your original surname was Xiao and your given name was Feng. This is the will your father wrote on the stone tablet before he jumped off the cliff. It explains the ins and outs of this incident."

Qiao Feng had lived in Han lands for a long time and had been completely Sinicized; he couldn't possibly understand Khitan script.

At this moment, Cao Cao appeared and, looking at the rubbings of Khitan script, began to read them aloud without any difficulty.

The Khitan people of the Northern Song Dynasty were historically known as the Wuhuan.

Cao Cao nearly wiped out the Wuhuan tribe, and in the process of interacting with them, he also learned their language and writing!

To put it simply, Qiao Feng's father—no, now it should be Xiao Feng, the Khitan—was Qiao Feng's father.

His father's will explained the purpose of his trip to Yanmen Pass and the course of events.

Xiao Yuanshan claimed that "when Feng'er turned one year old, he and his wife went to his maternal grandmother's house for a banquet. On the way, they suddenly encountered a notorious bandit from the Southern Dynasty... and his wife and child were killed by the bandit."

He mentioned that "his teacher was a Han Chinese from the Southern Dynasties. I had sworn before him not to kill any Han Chinese, but today I killed more than ten of them. I am ashamed and in pain. I will not have the face to see my teacher after I die."

This suicide note was filled with grief and genuine emotion. After Cao Cao translated it, everyone understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that the other party was just visiting relatives, but the leader and Master Zhiguang, these so-called martial arts heroes from the Central Plains, actually launched a sneak attack on Xiao Yuanshan!

While such harmless crossing of the border might not be in accordance with the rules, it didn't warrant killing them all.

It is worth mentioning that more than ten top martial arts masters surrounded Xiao Yuanshan and his group, yet many of them still died or were injured.

Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts skills are probably no weaker than Xiao Feng's now!

Moreover, judging from Zhao Qiansun's timid appearance, I reckon that the current Xiao Feng is exactly the same as Xiao Yuanshan, the Khitan who was preparing to visit relatives in the Central Plains thirty years ago.

The father and son look alike, and their fighting skills are also incredibly high.

Zhao Qiansun had already been driven to a mental breakdown by Xiao Yuanshan, which is why he had been acting strangely all these years. After seeing Xiao Feng, his symptoms seemed to have worsened.

Zhao Qiansun hid behind Granny Tan and kept calling for his junior sister to protect him, which made Granny Tan extremely jealous.

These three people had already had complicated relationships for most of their lives, and even under these circumstances, they still bickered and argued.

But now nobody cares about any of that. Everyone's attention is on Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, who was just a moment ago, and Xiao Feng, the Khitan, who was just a moment ago!

After Cao Cao translated Xiao Yuanshan's suicide note, everyone understood what had happened, and the truth would be judged by the public.

Master Zhiguang, who was a participant in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, we didn't know what Xiao Yuanshan had written on the stone wall. We thought he was cursing us out of grief and indignation."

"After we found a translator in a nearby village, we realized that we had made a huge mistake, and the delusional person who had instigated the leader had disappeared without a trace."

"During his negotiations with the leader, the charlatan claimed that he had learned a group of well-trained Khitan warriors outside Yanmen Pass would soon be heading to the Central Plains to seize martial arts manuals from various schools in order to enhance the Khitans' fighting strength and prepare for a future invasion of the south. That's why the leader led us to Yanmen Pass. Little did we know that all of this was a lie told by the charlatan!"

When talking about the delusional man, Master Zhiguang couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao.

"Could this delusional person be related to me?"

Cao Cao's perception was quite good; he could detect something amiss with just a glance.

Only then did Xiao Feng realize what was happening. He snatched the letter from Shan Zheng to Wang Jiantong, and seeing that the signature had been torn off, he was furious and said, "Judge Shan, who exactly is this leader?!"

Dan Zheng didn't speak, but instead chewed on something, eating the piece of paper he had just torn off.

"Master Zhiguang, who exactly are the ringleader and the delusional man?!"

"Benefactor Xiao, when will this cycle of revenge end...?"

Master Zhiguang did not give a direct answer, but instead told Xiao Feng to give up his revenge.

Xiao Feng was still caught up in the urge to uncover the truth and had no intention of giving up on revenge!

"Chief Qiao, no, I should say Brother Xiao, may I have a word with you?"

"Brother Murong, you don't mind that I'm a Khitan?"

Now that Xiao Feng's true identity has been revealed, the eyes of everyone in the Beggars' Sect have changed.

Although he never actually did anything to harm the Beggars' Sect or the Song Dynasty, with so much evidence, his Khitan identity is obvious.

Although Xiao Feng still couldn't believe it and wanted to investigate it himself, from now on, the fact that he was a Khitan Xiao Feng could no longer be hidden.

Moreover, Xiao Feng had been expelled from the Beggars' Sect, so logically no one would want to be associated with him at this time.

"Brother Xiao, whether you are Han or Khitan, we are friends, and besides, I am of Xianbei origin."

Cao Cao said that in order to relieve Xiao Feng of so much psychological pressure.

Whether Han or Khitan, no one can deny his strength. Xiao Feng was a hero whom Cao Cao admired from the bottom of his heart, so he still had to say a few words in his defense.

Moreover, in the current situation, it seems that no one present, except him, can stop Xiao Feng. A group fight is nothing to a master like him.

It is rumored that Murong Fu of Gusu was descended from Xianbei people, but now the Sinicized Xianbei people have long been integrated into the Central Plains dynasties and are not as hostile to the Khitan people as they are now.

If Murong Fu hadn't brought it up, everyone would have forgotten that he was also a member of a different race.

If we calculate it this way, then the most outstanding figures in the Central Plains martial arts world are actually from different ethnic groups, which shows that the Central Plains martial arts world has reached a dead end.

"Gentlemen, even if Brother Xiao is a Khitan, he hasn't done anything wrong. On the contrary, it was the leader and the other martial arts practitioners from the Central Plains who, without thoroughly investigating the matter, killed Brother Xiao and his family out of sheer hot-bloodedness. That is the real crime!"

Murong Fu's words immediately made Master Zhiguang feel ashamed. He couldn't help but say, "Young Master Murong is right. Benefactor Xiao is not wrong. We are the ones who are wrong. Therefore, Benefactor Xiao can take my life whenever he wants."

"I'm leaving too!"

"Goodbye!"

Before long, Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong and Tan Po, Shan Zheng and others who witnessed the event all left.

Basically, only members of the Beggars' Sect remain.

Xiao Feng also knew that it would be difficult to know the full picture of the matter at this time.

However, it is certain that he is basically a Khitan.

Furthermore, Murong Fu spoke a fair word for him, instantly shattering Xiao Feng's desire to sweep through the Beggars' Sect.

After all, these are all brothers of the Beggars' Sect. If they are unrighteous, Xiao Feng cannot be unjust!
