Chapter 5: The Sorrow of the Dead

After leaving Yishan, Wei Zeng went all the way to Xu Huai. Passing through the Anyun Territory, the Iron and Blood Army patrolled around, checking for passers-by. Wei Zeng couldn't swagger away, so he had to disguise himself as a refugee, while avoiding the interrogation of the Iron and Blood Army, and headed towards Suicheng.

Wei Zeng did not stay for a moment, but from Yishan to Xuhuai is thousands of miles away, Wei Zeng's footsteps are not slow, but he also walked for more than a month to come to the border of Xuhuai.

In the past, he led a large army to Xu Huai and was surrounded by 10,000 people, what a majestic it was; Now that I am alone, I have to be vigilant everywhere, which is also a bit miserable. But Wei Zeng didn't have the heart to think about anything, he just wanted to save Weizhen, the future was very difficult, but Wei Zeng was not afraid.

"I hadn't prayed for anything before, and at this point, I just wanted to give me a chance. Give me a chance to get Zhen'er back. At this point, I don't want to fight for anything anymore, and I don't want to kill people for safety. As long as I succeed this time, I will definitely be dedicated to goodness in the future, and I will do my best to save everyone I meet. I'm just begging for a chance. Wei Zeng knelt down and prayed.

Wei Zeng got up, already in tears, and continued to move forward, embarking on this road that he didn't know what the future would be.

At the same time, on the shore of Siqing Sea, a small boat docked at the pier. Walking from the boat, an old man and a young man, it seems that they are father and daughter. The elder was coarse and linen, but there was an unusual compassion in his eyes. The girl is also dressed simply, but she is a little less stable and more agile than the old man. These two were none other than Han He, the leader of the Yaodong secular school, and his daughter Han Taozi.

"Dad, we don't give a good lecture in Yaodong, why do we have to come to the Central Plains? You see how dangerous it is along the way, the boat we took was almost sunk by the Jiangnan people. The Ding brothers are just using our school to resist the Goddess Sect. Now that the Goddess Sect is over, the Ding brothers ignore us. When you look for them like this, aren't you putting a hot face on their cold ass? It's so unethical. Han Taozi muttered as soon as she got off the boat.

"They don't support us, don't we give lectures? Now the Central Plains is in turmoil, and everyone is suffering. It can let more people experience the true meaning of life, and let more people live with faith. It's much better than entertaining yourself in the study. With the help of the authority of the Ding brothers, we do good deeds and good deeds, and there is no integrity. Is it true that integrity is to think of oneself as wise and then ignore others? There is no such reason. Han replied.

"I understand what Dad means, but the Ding brothers are so annoying that they don't respect us at all, I just can't get used to them." Han Taozi pouted.

"Peach, you have to understand the original meaning of the word secular in our school. It is to live in the world, to experience the great principles of the world, to survive well, and to help others survive well. You can't be too arrogant, and you can't be the enemy of the whole world. We don't have to be courteous to power, but we can use power to promote our doctrine. What's not to do? Anything that can be done as long as it is based on goodness. Han said.

"Dad thinks so, that's it. But I still think it's too embarrassing. However, the Central Plains and our Yaodong are really different. It's so novel everywhere, Dad, I won't tell you, I'm going to see what's interesting. The two came to a small town while talking, and when Han Taozi saw the things in the town, his eyes were full of novelty, and he ran away as he spoke.

"This kid. It's still too playful, saying that I came with me to see the world, but as soon as I came, it became like this. Han He shook his head and said.

In a courtyard in Suicheng, Ding Zhuhuang was guarding in front of a room. After a while, a doctor walked out of the room, and Ding Zhuhuang hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Doctor. How her illness is, whether it can be cured or not, as long as it can be cured, it doesn't matter how much it costs. ”

"Seven emotions are depressed, and there is no interest. The disease is in the heart, and it needs to be untied to become a knot. Although I am a doctor, I can only heal physical diseases, and there is really nothing I can do about the situation of the people in the house. Master Ding should find a way to free her. I can only prescribe some health medicine to clear my mind and calm my mind, maybe it can relieve me for a while. The doctor shook his head and said.

"I also understand the doctor's words, thank you for coming to help, please go to the account room with your family, I have prepared the consultation fee." Ding Zhuhuang replied.

"It's a shame that I couldn't help adults. Heart disease also needs heart medicine, please explain to the people in the house. The doctor finished and left.

Ding Zhuhuang pushed the door and came to Weizhen's side, Weizhen has been bedridden since he fainted that day, although his consciousness is still quite clear, but there is no god in his eyes, and he has obviously lost any hope of living.

"I know Madame is sad, but Madame can't do that. If I had known that this would be the case, I should not have told you the news of General Wei's defeat in the first place. I saw that my wife was very calm and strong, but I didn't expect to think like this. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"I don't want to, but I can't decide it all. I've always been by Brother Wei's side, and even if we've been separated, I know we'll be back together. He has always been the one who shelters me, and now that I am the only one left, I find the world so scary. Wei Zhen said.

"General Wei's whereabouts have been unknown, maybe he is still alive, Madame must not lose confidence." Ding Zhuhuang persuaded.

"You don't have to dismiss me, I know what reality looks like. I just want to go back to Yishan now, where I lived with Brother Wei for three years, and it was peaceful, and everything was dull but full of fun. I can't stay here anymore, I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to look at Yishan again. "I struggled to get up, but I was weak.

"Since Madame wants to go to Yishan, I'll take Madame there. Although I can't shelter my wife from the wind and rain like General Wei, I also want to do something for my wife. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"The road to Yishan passes through the place where the Iron Blood Army is, aren't you hostile to the Iron Blood Army? Aren't you afraid of falling into the hands of the Predators? Weizhen asked.

"Madame has saved my life, and I want to repay Madame. Even if there is danger, I am willing to take this risk for my wife. I then ordered someone to prepare a carriage and horses to escort my wife to Yishan. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"Thank you, Lord Ding, I am very grateful." When Wei Zhen heard that he could go to Yishan, his dim eyes had a glimmer of hope. Although the small one can be extinguished at any time, it can support her through a long journey.

Wei Zeng came all the way and saw a team of chariots and horses in front of him, which seemed to be passing merchants. Wei Zeng didn't want to attract attention, just stood on the side of the road and waited for the carriage to pass by, and then continued to walk towards Suicheng. A horse-drawn carriage in the convoy. The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a haggard face, which was really sick.

"Now that the weather is cold, the wind is strong outside, and my wife is not in good health, let's put down the curtain." Ding Zhuhuang's voice came.

Wei Zhen answered, lowered the curtain, and the convoy continued in the direction of An Yun.

Wei Zeng came to Suicheng, but could not enter the city. Because the Yaodong army and the Jiangnan people are facing each other. In order to prevent the spies of the Jiangnan people from sneaking in, Suicheng was very strict with the people who passed by. Wei Zeng tried to enter several times, but was driven out as beggars by the soldiers defending the city.

Just as Wei Zeng was sitting under a tree on the side of the road, thinking about how to sneak into Suicheng, a few copper coins were thrown in front of him, and a crisp voice came: "You must be very hungry like this, take out and buy food." ”

"Peaches, don't be rude. Have you not heard that the poor are not fed? Be respectful. I saw a long man squatting down and picking up the copper coins on the ground one by one. Then it was placed in Wei Zeng's hands.

"Mr. has an extraordinary bearing, he should not be an ordinary person, I don't know what Mr. came to Suicheng for?" Wei Zeng didn't take the money, but asked.

Han He was also surprised when he saw that Wei Zeng did not accept the money, but asked this question. replied: "I have been lecturing in Yaodong, and thanks to the support of the two Dings, I have a small influence in Yaodong. I heard that the Central Plains region has been in turmoil, and the people are unbearable. I wanted to ask the two Ding adults for instructions. It is necessary to find a place in the Central Plains to spread knowledge in order to comfort the hearts of the people of the world. ”

"Mr. is highly respected, and he has this ambition in his heart, which is also awe-inspiring. However, the Central Plains is disturbed, and it cannot be solved in a few words. How many people with lofty ideals, in the face of such a scene, can only be helpless for a lifetime. I only hope that Sir, you will get what you want. Wei Zeng replied.

"Your Excellency can say this, you are also an extraordinary person, is your Excellency the legend of the Central Plains those who have attained the Tao, hidden in the world, to enlighten people's hearts." Han He heard Wei Zeng's words, and immediately saluted.

"I'm just a loser. I once had a career, but fate made me lose everything and end up where I am now. It's just that I experienced great joy and sorrow, and I felt some emotion in my heart. My relatives are in Suicheng, but the way I am now, I can't enter Suicheng at all. I was distressed in my heart and didn't know how to deal with it. Wei Zeng got up and saluted back.

"In troubled times, everyone is miserable, how many wives are separated, and how many people's careers are empty. Your Excellency wants to see your loved ones, but you can't enter the city, it's really a world away. Although he is not talented in Xia, he also has some influence in Yaodong, so it can be regarded as a good deed to help Your Excellency go into the city to meet your relatives. Han said.

"Thank you, sir, if I can reunite with my family, I will definitely be grateful to him for the rest of my life." Wei Zeng replied.

"But with your makeup, it's not easy to enter the city. I've got some change of clothes here, so you can take them and change them. Han said as he took out a piece of clothing from the package and handed it to Wei Zeng.

Wei Zeng thanked him again and again, retreated to no one's place, and changed his clothes.

"Dad, you just talked to him for a few words, and then helped him into the city, what if he was a bad person?" Han Taozi said worriedly.

"He has a lot of sadness when he speaks, and only when he has experienced great joy and sorrow can he do that, and his words should not be false." Han said.

Wei Zeng came back in a disguise, removing the dirt all over his body, and a kind of spirit was revealed, although he bowed his head to show humility, but also exuded a heroic atmosphere.

Han nodded and beckoned Wei Zeng to enter the city together. Han Taozi was also very curious, she didn't expect a beggar to look like this when she was dressed.

With the support of the Ding brothers, Han He also became a household name in Yaodong in a few years, and everyone knew that he was a knowledgeable elder who lectured everywhere to make people love secular life.

When the general defending the city heard that Han He had arrived, he immediately informed Ding Zhuqing. Ding Zhuqing didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone out to greet him. Wei Zeng entered the city smoothly, and he didn't want to meet Ding Zhuqing, so he made an excuse and left Han You.

Wei Zeng inquired and knew that Wei Zhen had left, standing in front of an already empty courtyard, Wei Zeng felt uncomfortable. Ben came to Suicheng to save Weizhen from going back, but now he can't even figure out Weizhen's whereabouts, and Wei Zeng is also bitter in his heart.

Suddenly, a voice came: "If the world is settled today, the four seas are clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, my great wish has finally been fulfilled." This life is really happy. Then there was a burst of naughty laughter.

Wei Zeng heard that it was Qi Weilun's voice, and immediately ran over, but saw a group of naughty children, laughing around Qi Weilun. Qi Weilun didn't seem to see anything, just stroked his beard and spoke alone, with a smile on his face.

Wei Zeng came to Qi Weilun's side and dispersed the group of urchins. In this troubled world, only madmen and ignorant children can laugh like this.

"Big brother, do you still know me? Everything is that I'm sorry for you. Wei Zeng hugged Qi Weilun and said.

"Of course I know Brother Xian, but Brother Xian doesn't deal with national affairs, what do you do here. Virtuous brothers should remember that at all times, we must put the world and the country first, and the welfare of all the people is the most important. Don't stay with me, big brother, I'm happy. As long as the virtuous brother is a saint monarch, the eldest brother will not be dissatisfied. Qi Weilun glanced at Wei Zeng, and then said to himself, and in the end, he pushed Wei Zeng and let Wei Zeng leave.

"Big brother, I failed to live up to your expectations, and it's all my fault. I'll take you out of here, and I'll take care of you. Although there are no people in the world, there are still thousands of people in Yishan. In Yishan, Big Brother's ideal will definitely come true. Wei Zeng said.

Qi Weilun listened to Wei Zeng's words, his body suddenly burst into tears, and he suddenly burst into tears, and said to himself: "It's really strange, why am I crying." What Yishan? Now that the world is so stable, why do you need to go to the deep mountains and old forests? ”

Wei Zeng saw that Qi Weilun was even a little confused, so he didn't say anything more, and dragged Qi Weilun out of here. The defenders of the city saw that Wei Zeng and Han had entered the city with him, and they did not have much suspicion when he left the city, so they let him go.

The person who was in charge of Qi Weilun was also very boring to guard a madman all day long, so he left Qi Weilun in one place and went to drink in his spare time. Now that Qi Weilun is missing, the guards were frightened, and they hurriedly notified them and began to search the whole city. Finally, Wei Zeng's whereabouts were exposed. (To be continued.) )
