"Wang, are you sure we are not going the wrong way?" Since leaving Yinyao County, this is the fourth time that the Void Monk has asked this question, and I don't know if he took the wrong road before, and directly fainted on the road with hunger, resulting in a shadow in his heart, and now as long as he is allowed to go to a place he has never been, his heart is always very unstable, and he is afraid that he will go the wrong way again.

The one he called Lao Wang was a bearded and rugged man, grinning and a little speechless and returning to him again: "Lord Xu, you just put your heart in your stomach, we are definitely not going the wrong way, you see" said and raised a map in his hand: "This is a map specially drawn by the locals in my silver city, His Royal Highness said that more than thirty miles north of the city, and if you enter the mountains and forests and walk a short distance, you will find a residence, that is where we are going, you see I have let people mark it, What else can be wrong with that? ”

After receiving the guarantee, the Void Monk nodded with some reassurance: "That's right, it's good, otherwise you can't find a place, you can't see people, and when you go back, he will definitely say that the little monk can't do things, and also, didn't I tell you, don't call the little monk any adult, the little monk is a monk."

"It was you who recruited us in the refugee area at the beginning, and now we are also on an errand in the official family, what do you call if you are not called an adult? When we followed you into the city, we originally wanted to be able to eat, who would have thought that we would be directly under the prince's door, and now it has become a tolerance to serve the country, all of this is thanks to you, Lord Xu, our brothers have said in private, in the future, you will definitely only look forward to Lord Xu"

The other two also echoed, nodding their heads again and again, these people are grateful to the Void Monk, and being able to let them get out of the refugee area and turn over directly is due to the Void Monk.

The Void Monk smiled shallowly, shook his head, and didn't speak again.

Lao Wang turned his shoulder again, and another person next to him joked: "Do you think that our trip to the far house is considered a public expense?" When I came, His Royal Highness also told us that this trip was a secret investigation of the situation, we must be careful, it may be dangerous, but after we arrived at the local investigation, we found out, cough, the group on the mountain is also called bandits? Or powerful? Haha..."

Several people laughed, at this time, several people came to a fork in the road, two roads were placed in front of them, several people looked at the old Wang, obviously the old Wang has now become their guide, the old Wang took out his special map from his arms and began to check, after a while, his hand pointed to a road on the left: "It should be this road"

"Should? How or should it? What should I do if I make a mistake? ”

Lao Wang hurriedly said: "It won't be wrong, it's this road, I want to walk the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never missed the road, you listen to me."

......

More than two hours later, several people appeared at this intersection again, and one of them scolded and complained to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, you idiot, didn't you say that we won't be wrong to take this road?" If we hadn't gone to the village in front of us and asked someone, we wouldn't know where we would have been led by you."

Lao Wang knew that he had just said a big thing and walked so far with a few people in vain, so he just grinned awkwardly, and swore that he was going the right way, but he turned out to be right, "This time this way, this road is right"

Several people looked at him with some contempt, there were only two roads in total, and he had already taken the wrong one just now, and now the fool knew that he had taken the remaining road.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, except for the Void Monk, although the other people were a little tired, they still did not stop, thinking that they could find a place as soon as possible.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the person riding the horse did not slow down at all after seeing the Void Monk in front of him, and still whipped the horse to let it run quickly, fortunately, the Void Monk turned around and found it early, and stood directly to the side, and after a few people and horses galloped past them, the road was also covered with a burst of dust, Lao Wang fanned the dust in front of him with his hand, and said whiningly: "Didn't see anyone here?" Can't ride slower? Rushing to reincarnate? ”

Lao Wang's voice was not loud, but a few people who had already run in front of them, but one of them pulled the reins tightly, stopped, looked at the Void Monk, and then threw out a dagger in his hand, flying directly towards Lao Wang, the speed was so fast that Lao Wang couldn't react at all to dodge, but fortunately, the Void Monk shot in time and caught the dagger, the person on the horse, after seeing that the dagger he shot was caught, he was stunned for a while, and seemed to be a little disbelieving that there was still someone who could catch his dagger, and then stared at the Void Monk again, and then he slapped his horse and left.

Lao Wang was already stunned by fright, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, if it weren't for the Void Monk, he would have died.

The other two were also frightened by the man's momentum, and one of them said with some trembling: "It doesn't seem to be very safe in this Qi country."

After Lao Wang's mood calmed down, he wanted to kneel down to the Void Monk to thank him for saving his life, the Void Monk held him up and didn't let him kneel, Lao Wang kept saying words of gratitude beside him, the Void Monk didn't care about this, looked at the dagger in his hand, and thought to himself who those people were just now? Why are you so reckless?

———————————————————

Night fell, Zhou Jian sat alone at the table eating, without Zhou Ying by her side, his heart was too empty, at this time, his ears moved, and he was about to pick up vegetables with chopsticks in his hand and stopped, as if listening to the sounds around him, and after a while, he continued to drink wine with dishes as if nothing happened.

The moon was very round tonight, and the earth where the light shone was very bright, and it shone on the many black-clothed people in the woods, only to see those black-clothed people come to the gate of the courtyard where Zhou Jian was and stopped.

After a while, the blade in one person's hand pointed into the room and shouted loudly: "On the order of the general, kill the traitor Wei Jian, kill"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the door suddenly opened, and a bamboo pole flew out after him, directly stabbing the chest of the person who shouted just now, and nailed him to the fence courtyard wall.

Then Zhou Jian rushed out of the house, drew his soft sword, and the figure shuttled among the many people in black, and after a while, Zhou Jian's figure stopped, took out a piece of cloth and wiped the blood on the sword, and there were dozens more corpses in the courtyard.

"Brother Wang is Brother Wang, it's really amazing, they are so old, their martial arts have not regressed, my brother is really impressed" I don't know when, there were a few more people and horses outside the courtyard gate.

After hearing this, Zhou Jian still wiped his soft sword calmly, and replied without raising his head: "I knew you would come, but what I didn't expect was that you would come so quickly."

One of the people on the horse laughed when he heard this: "Haha, you haven't seen Brother Wang and Brother Wang for more than ten years, so naturally I miss it very much, and when I learned the news of Brother Wang, I naturally rushed here non-stop."

After wiping his soft sword, Zhou finally raised his head and glanced at the man, and then pointed the sword in his hand at the man: "Wei Tuo, Wei Tuo, do you know?" For all these years I have wanted to eat your flesh and drink your blood every day and every night, and tonight is your time of death."

The three people around Wei Tuo hurriedly turned over and dismounted, drew out their sword blades and prepared to rush towards Zhou Jian, Wei Tuo opened his mouth and scolded: "Bold, this king and brother Wang rarely see each other today, and you want to talk a few more words, what do you want to do?" Roll to the side", after saying that, he himself turned over and dismounted, walked into the yard alone before stopping, stretched his neck to look at Zhou Jian, and then shook his head and sighed: "Brother Wang, you are really old, look at you, your beard and hair are all white, by the way, I heard that your surname has changed to Zhou Jian now, right?" It's not a courtier who says you, brother Wang, how can you even change your ancestor's surname? Do you think you're old and confused? ”

"Now that the Seven Kingdoms belong to the Great Zhou Empire, I used to be a citizen of the Great Zhou, so what's wrong with changing the surname of the Great Zhou?"

Wei Tuo shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, "That's right", and then he found a stump and sat on it, as if casually asking, "What about the little princess?" Where are the people? ”

Zhou Jian sneered and snorted: "If you want to know her whereabouts, go find it slowly"

"Brother Wang, what do you say you have been hiding in Tibet all these years, running around? The younger brother didn't look for you to kill you, but just received my emperor's order to take the little princess back to Weidu, no matter how the little princess is also the emperor's niece, are you still afraid that the emperor will kill her? ”

Zhou Jian looked at him coldly and did not reply to him.

Wei Tuo himself continued: "But I'm not in a hurry, anyway, there will be time in the future, and I can slowly look for the little princess, mainly because she is a little girl, and she can't turn over any storms, by the way, Brother Wang, what do you think of my Wei Kingdom now?" Fighting Qi and attacking South Korea, now the country has expanded by half of its original size, and the ministers and brothers assisted the emperor and general Wei to govern the country well, right? ”

"Perennial foreign wars, so that the Wei soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and the people live hard, this is what you say is not bad? When Brother Wang was in power, he formulated a strategy for the country to recuperate, and you actually went completely opposite to each other, and you still boasted in front of me? ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I had led the soldiers to fight everywhere over the years and made the prestige of my Wei country, just because my Wei country was located between the countries and was surrounded by enemies on all sides, according to what you said, the country would have perished a long time ago, after the death of Brother Wang, Wei Hui ascended the throne, he was kind-hearted, he didn't like war, and he was afraid of casualties, and you, the assistant minister, were the same, the result? He has only been in power for two years, the Qi State has beaten us, the Xiongnu have beaten us, and even that little South Korea has dared to come to fight us. ”

"So you united with Wei Huang to rebel? A traitor is a traitor after all, no matter how nice the reason is, it can't change this fact, and it will always be scolded by the people of my Wei country."

When Wei Tuo heard this, he suddenly stood up, stared at Zhou Jian fiercely, and roared sharply: "Let's just say that you are old and confused, and now who of my people of Wei State does not applaud me and the emperor?" Who will remember Wei Hui, who was only an emperor for two years? ”

Zhou Jian closed his eyes and sighed lightly, "It's useless to talk more, let's take my life"
