Chapter 6: The Road to the North
After coming out of Suicheng, Wei Zeng did not stop, and took Qi Weilun all the way to the north. Qi Weilun was sometimes very quiet, not saying a word, and sometimes he would say something very unconscious. Fortunately, Qi Weilun still knew Wei Zeng, listened to Wei Zeng's arrangement, and went all the way north without cooperation.
After a few days of getting along, Wei Zeng often talked about some past events with Qi Weilun, trying to awaken Qi Weilun's consciousness. It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that after waking up, Qi Weilun is always silent, and his face is obviously sad.
"Brother Xian, I don't want to go to Yishan. I am originally from Jiangnan, and I want to go back to my hometown. I'm tired of wandering for so many years, and I want to go back to my hometown. Qi Weilun suddenly said to Wei Zeng.
"Big brother, are you awake now? It's not impossible to go to Jiangnan, as long as you want, I can also take you to Jiangnan. Wei Zeng said.
"I don't know what's going on with myself, and my memories are intermittent these days. I can't even remember how you managed to get me out. Maybe I'm really mentally wrong, but now that I'm sober, I really want to go back to my hometown. Qi Weiren said.
"No problem, I'll take my eldest brother to Jiangnan. My eldest brother has been helping me for more than ten years, but in the end, I still disappointed my eldest brother. I also hope that I can do something for my eldest brother. Wei Zeng immediately agreed.
"Don't talk about those things anymore, fate plays with who can decide. I don't know how long I can be sober, but I'm going to trouble my brother along the way. Qi Weiren said.
Then Qi Weilun told Wei Zeng the location of his hometown and asked Wei Zeng to take him to Jiangnan. Along the way, Qi Weilun's consciousness was sometimes sober, sometimes blurred, Wei Zeng took care of him along the way, and finally arrived at Qi Weilun's hometown safely.
Qi Weilun was originally from a small city in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of the repeated failures in the imperial examination, he began to travel all over the world. Because Qi Weilun is anxious for justice and righteousness, he often stands up for injustice, and he also has some reputation among Shilin. Scholars always love and cherish each other, so although Qi Weilun is not an official, he has many friends in high positions. Asking is one of them.
It's just that as I grew older, my youth was full of enthusiasm and was replaced by a lot of helplessness. Qi Weilun is just a scholar, completely incapable of self-preservation, as the dynasty gradually comes to an end, the world is becoming more and more chaotic, Qi Weilun has also experienced many misfortunes.
In the end, he met Wei Zeng, and because of his sympathy for the refugees, he and Wei Zeng were in Shifeng City. Together, they started an uprising.
At the beginning of the uprising, Qi Weilun carried a heavy moral burden, and he always adhered to the loyalty and patriotism of the monarch, and embarked on the road of rebellion, and he always felt uncomfortable. But as the Yanbei Righteous Army developed step by step, Qi Weilun found that he could boldly display his ambitions, and his mood became better and better, so he wholeheartedly assisted Wei Zeng. wants to turn Wei Zeng into a generation of virtuous monarchs.
Now that the Yanbei army has been defeated, more than ten years of hard work is like a dream. What is left in Qi Weilun's heart? Now he just wants to return to his hometown and return to his roots.
The small town in the south of the Yangtze River is very quiet, and although there are traces of military disasters here, daily life has been restored under the governance of Fan Yuyi.
Qi Weiren returned to his hometown. Nine out of ten of the oncoming people didn't know each other, and the remaining one didn't have any image of Qi Weilun.
Although things are not people, Qi Weilun walked on the land of his hometown and told Wei Zeng some past events about his hometown. The heart is also full of joy. With a smile on his face, Qi Weiren seemed to be adequate.
Finally came to a courtyard, Qi Weilun hesitated, his face hesitant. Wei Zeng asked, it turned out that this was Qi Weilun's former home.
At last Qi Weilun mustered up the courage and knocked on the door, and was greeted by a young man he didn't know at all. Qi Weilun asked the young man about the situation in the family. The young man saw that Qi Weilun was quite old, and he knew very well about the old things in his family, and thought that Qi Weilun was a distant relative, and he knew everything about Qi Weilun's questions.
At this time, a middle-aged man heard the voice, and Qi Weilun recognized that it was one of his juniors, who was just a child when he ran away, and now he is full of children and grandchildren.
Qi Weilun and a few people, the parents talked for a while, and then left.
"Why don't you recognize them, maybe you can stay here and spend your old age in peace." Wei Zeng asked.
"Our family values the word loyalty, I betrayed the dynasty and became a sinner in the family a long time ago. Acknowledging each other only adds a lot of unpleasantness. Now I see that the people in my family are living a healthy life, and I am satisfied. Zivelen replied.
Wei Zeng just bowed his head and said nothing.
When Qi Weilun walked out of the town, he was already a little unable to support it. The excitement of the defeat of the Yanbei army and the hard work along the way finally made this man in his twilight run out of oil.
Qi Weilun couldn't support it anymore, and when he was dying, he was already more confused and less sober. But Qi Weilun is serene, and this serenity is different from the madness of indulging in visions, this serenity comes from the heart.
After burying Qi Weilun near his hometown, Wei Zeng began to head north.
This is the first time he has come to Jiangnan, the trees in Jiangnan are all green, compared to the desolation of winter in the north, Jiangnan looks very fresh and beautiful. But Wei Zeng's attachment is not here, finding Weizhen and returning to Yishan is his last insistence.
Looking back at Qi Weilun's grave, Wei Zeng left the small city in the south of the Yangtze River as the last remembrance.
Shortly after Wei Zeng left, several horseback riders arrived at Qi Weilun's tomb.
A man dressed in green clothes dismounted and said, "This is written on the tomb of Qi Weilun, it seems that Qi Weilun is dead." This tomb has just been erected, and it seems that the people who walked Qi Weilun did not go far. Everyone is looking around, and they must not let him go. ”
"Who do you think this person will be? Could it really be Wei Zeng? Isn't he already dead? A man in black asked.
"Wei Zeng is dead or not, we will know if we find this person. What if Wei Zeng didn't die? We'll give him a ride. A man in yellow chuckled and said that this man in yellow was the eight-tailed warrior who had been drinking with Zheng alone that day.
"It's also said that Wei Zeng's stay is also a scourge. However, this is the territory of the Jiangnan people, and we can't send people to search for it. Wei Zeng's martial arts are not low, everyone must cooperate with each other in order to leave Wei Zeng behind. The man in Tsing Yi said.
The other two looked disdainful. There was no promise, and they searched separately.
On the same day, Wei Zeng fled from Suicheng with Qi Weilun, and the people guarding Qi Weilun reported to Ding Zhuqing. Ding Zhuqing didn't expect that someone would rescue someone under his nose, and immediately ordered someone to arrest him.
Xu Huai to the front line of Yanbei was full of soldiers from Yaodong. If Wei Zeng did not go to Jiangnan, he would inevitably be intercepted by the Yaodong people. The actions of the Yaodong people attracted the attention of the Jiangnan people, and Fan Zhuyi ordered people to take good precautions, but Ding Zhuqing could not break through the defense of the Jiangnan people, so he notified several gangs and asked them to send people to arrest them.
Several gangs were shocked when they heard that Wei Zeng might still be alive, and they had a deep grudge with Wei Zeng. Immediately sent the masters of the gang to track down, intending to kill Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng walked alone, not stopping for a moment, carefully avoiding any possible threat along the way, but danger still came.
When Wei Zeng crossed the river and was about to reach Anyun, a man on horseback suddenly appeared in front of him. Wei Zeng didn't want to cause trouble in vain, so he planned to walk over silently. The man on horseback didn't seem to pay attention to Wei Zeng either, just walked forward unhurriedly.
When Wei Zeng and the man on horseback staggered by. Hearing only the sound of the wind behind him, Wei Zeng hurriedly bowed forward to dodge. The steel rod hidden in the sleeve also shone out, and the rod struck back.
"Who are you? Why do you want to hurt me? Wei Zeng said angrily.
"General Wei's memory is really bad, have you forgotten the grievances between you and our Green Gang?" The rider waved his long stick in his hand, and the horse forwarded with another blow.
"The people of the Qing Gang turned out to be sent by Wu Qingfan. But. I don't want to have anything to do with your Green Gang anymore, you're not my opponent, and I don't want to hurt anyone's lives anymore, so let's go. Wei Zeng blocked the stick and took a step back. Said.
"It's ridiculous, my dignified six-tailed warrior, do you still ask for your life?" The man on horseback chuckled and swung his stick in another blow.
Wei Zeng held the staff in both hands, and all of a sudden, he floated upwards with the long stick, shouted, and struck the horse with a cane. The horse screamed and fell to the ground.
When Wei Zeng hit the horse, the six-tailed warriors of the Green Gang hurriedly jumped off their horses, and fought with Wei Zeng with a wave of their long sticks.
Wei Zeng's staff technique is already very good, and more than ten years of training on the battlefield have long made Wei Zeng's martial arts reach the point of perfection. Although the six-tailed warrior is not weak in martial arts, he is obviously not Wei Zengting's opponent, and after more than a dozen rounds of fighting, he can no longer support it.
Just when the six-tailed warriors were about to be defeated, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and the snow fox warriors of the Luofeng Society also arrived.
When Wei Zeng saw the enemy coming, he was about to be flanked from front to back, and he was ruthless for a while, and hit the six-tailed warriors of the Green Gang with all his strength.
The six-tailed warrior raised his stick to block, but unexpectedly a strong force came. His arm ached, and he fell to his knees on one knee. Wei Zeng kicked the six-tailed warrior to the ground.
Before Wei Zeng killed the six-tailed warrior, he saw a flying hook hit Wei Zeng's side. Wei Zeng rolled over to dodge the flying hook, touched his waist with his left hand, and shot out with a flying knife.
I saw the Snow Fox Warrior of the Luofeng Society, the chain in his hand just flicked, and the flying knife was blocked. With a pull of his right hand and a throw, the flying hook flew back, circled around and hit Wei Zeng again.
Wei Zeng raised his staff to block, his body retreated, and the flying hook swirled around for a few weeks on the steel staff. The Snow Fox Warrior of Luofeng Society pulled hard, and Wei Zengjiao pulled hard.
At this moment, the six-tailed warrior of the Green Gang, who was kicked to the ground by Wei Zeng, got up and ran over, the long stick was raised high, this person's eyes were already red, and the posture was about to kill Wei Zeng with a stick.
Wei Zeng was flanked by two snow fox warriors, and the situation was a little critical for a while.
Wei Zeng sensed the danger behind him, and pulled hard to pull the Snow Fox Warrior of the Luofeng Society off his horse. With a flick of his right hand, the steel staff broke free from the hook restraints, and when he turned sideways to hit the long stick, the staff swept and hit the leg of the six-tailed warrior.
The Snow Fox Warriors of the Luofeng Society were dragged off their horses, and one turned over and stood up, seeing that the six-tailed warrior was beaten to the ground by Wei Zeng, and the flying hook hit out again.
When Wei Zeng struck out the Snow Fox Warrior Flying Hook of the Luofeng Society, he rushed over, and raised the steel rod to hit it with one blow, impartially hitting the flying hook. With a ding, the hook flew back with the chain.
Before the Snow Fox Warrior could attack again, Wei Zeng had already rushed in front of the man and swung his staff with a force. The Snow Fox Warrior held the chain in both hands, retreated while fighting, and whirled around with Wei Zeng.
"If a good boy dares to hurt someone, then you can put your life here." When Wei Zeng and the Snow Fox Warriors of the Luofeng Society were fighting, the eight-tailed warriors of the Tang Sect appeared, and as soon as they raised their hands, a few hidden weapons shot at Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng saw that the enemies were coming one after another, although he could still cope with it now, but if he was surrounded by the enemy, it would be a troublesome matter. When he dodged the hidden weapon shot by the eight-tailed warriors of the Tang Gate, Wei Zeng rushed towards the horses.
"Where to run!" When the Snow Fox Warrior of the Luofeng Society saw Wei Zeng on his horse, he immediately threw a flying hook. The eight-tailed warriors of the Tang Sect stepped forward and were about to intercept them.
Wei Zeng didn't want to entangle them anymore, so he avoided the flying hook, struck the head of the rushing horse with a single cane, and then walked away.
When the eight-tailed warriors of the Tang Sect were making a move, the horse was killed and forced to fall off the horse, and after getting up, Wei Zeng was already far away.
"Inform the others, we must not let Wei Zeng escape, otherwise we will be in trouble in the future. The northern army of Yanbei had just been defeated, and Wei Zeng must not be given a chance to make a comeback. The three Snow Fox warriors lost their horses and were unable to pursue Wei Zeng, so the news of Wei Zeng's appearance spread.
The news of Wei Zeng's reappearance soon spread throughout the Central Plains, and the high-level leaders of Yaodong and the Iron and Blood Army were unwilling to face Wei Zeng, a strong enemy, again, and immediately sent people to chase and kill, intending to kill Wei Zeng.
Wen Yiyi, who was in Yushan, inquired first and finally found Gu Chayi, and also met Chi Xuewen and Ye Yuan. When he learned from Chi Xuewen that Wei Zeng had gone to Suicheng, Wen Di also regretted it in his heart, regretting that he did not choose to go to Suicheng first.
Wen Di did not stop, and immediately rushed from Yushan to the direction of Suicheng, wanting to meet Wei Zeng. Soon the news of Wei Zeng's appearance in Jiangnan came, and Wen Di was just anxious.
"Wei Zeng, where the hell are you. You will be in Suicheng for a while, Jiangnan for a while, when will I find you. Can't you just stay in one place? Wen Di came to the junction of Yanbei and Xuhuai, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, and couldn't help but complain.
But the thought of wanting to meet Wei Zeng made her feel uneasy, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Di changed her itinerary and went to the place where Wei Zeng appeared.
Thousands of miles of pursuit, from Siqinghai to Hedong, from Hedong to Yushan, and from Yushan to Xuhuai, I don't know how many twists and turns there are still on the road ahead. But an obsession made Wendi unable to give up.
"Wei Zeng, no matter where you go, I must find you. You have made me suffer so much, you should give me some compensation. Wendi gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
