Chapter Seventy-One: The Night of Fenglian City
Wei Zeng had been in a mood that night, so he went for a walk in the courtyard, looking at the bleak sky, Wei Zeng was even more depressed.
This time I came to Fenglian City, but I encountered a lot of unexpected troubles. Wei Zeng was about to leave this place in two days, but now Wei Zeng was a little worried in his heart, feeling that something would happen.
Since that farce, Sagari has been under strict watch by the Goddess Cult, who seem to have taken a cold attitude towards the matter.
But Wei Zeng had heard of the style of the Goddess Sect, and the Goddess Sect would never allow outsiders to casually get involved in the power of the Sect. Even if Sagali had no ill will towards Wei Zeng, would the rest of the Goddess Sect completely let this matter go on like this? Anyway, the Goddess Cult was too quiet after that day.
The challenge of a few nine-tailed fox warriors during the day, Wei Zeng was actually not too worried, the Fox Worship Sect had actually existed in name only, and the current Fox Worship Sect was a hodgepodge of personnel from various sects, and it couldn't even be called an independent sect.
In the past, when the martial arts sects in Yaodong were strong, they were controlled by the martial arts sects, and in recent years, the Yaodong gangs have controlled the Fox Worship Sect because of their strength, and several nine-tailed fox warriors are also newly selected.
There were constant open and secret battles within the Fox Worship Sect, and Wei Zengcai didn't believe that a few gangs would fight for him. But what Wei Zeng didn't expect was that when he rescued Sagali that day, he was already targeted by three gangs.
Wei Zeng walked for a while, but his mood still did not improve, so he decided to leave Fenglian City as soon as possible. He thought that after leaving Yaodong and staying away from these rights and wrongs, everything would be better.
"Brother Wei, are you still worried about the past few days? Actually, you don't have to worry too much, anyway, we don't have any intention of meddling in Yaodong's internal affairs, and we will leave in two days. There shouldn't be any big problems with the things of the other days, and Miss Sa is also impulsive, so she should be calm these days. Wei Zhen walked out of the door and said to Wei Zeng.
"Haven't you slept yet? Yaodong's affairs are definitely not as simple as what we see. You think, we just came across someone attacking a convoy of the Goddess Cult. Immediately, the Tang Gate, the Green Gang, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Warriors of the Luofeng Society all came. And then that farce happened.
But the reaction of the various forces was too calm, except for the three nine-tailed fox warriors who stepped forward to challenge, nothing happened. Maybe they just treat me Wei Zeng as a nobody, not worth their hands, this is the best; There may be a conspiracy going on in the shadows, and when it is revealed, disaster will be.
"I heard Master Yan say that the Qing Gang has been seeking external expansion in recent years, and there has been constant friction with the Tang Sect outside, and the original martial arts sects have also suffered from it. But these days, the Valkyrie election is going on with great fanfare, and the Qing Gang, as the landlord of Fenglian City, is too quiet. I always think something is going to happen in the near future. Wei Zeng voiced the worry in his heart.
"Brother Wei, I heard you say this, Fenglian City really can't stay any longer, so let's just leave quickly. But Master Yan and Cha Yi shouldn't have an accident here, right? Wei Zhen listened to this.
"Master Yan is inseparable from his homeland, and he doesn't have the heart to fight with other forces, he just wants to endure it all the time and live a quiet life. I think that as long as I don't get caught by the people of the Green Gang, there should be no accident. Even if something really happens, with Master Yan and Cha Yi's current martial arts, they should be able to get out of danger safely. Wei Zeng said.
"Brother Wei, I don't understand why they keep fighting back and forth, isn't it good for everyone to live in peace? Yaodong is the most stable place I've ever seen, so why do they have to destroy this hard-won peace? You know, people everywhere else can't come to this kind of tranquility. Wei Zhen sighed.
"Who can know what the human heart is, but there are endless desires in every inch of land, and the whole world cannot be filled. But these things are not something we can control, so let's do our best. When you return to Yishan, you can protect the thousands of people in Feiying Village, and let it go if you can't control the rest. Wei Zeng pondered.
"Brother Wei, you're right. Then don't worry too much, as you said, just be yourself, as long as we do what we should do, then what is there to worry about. Trouble will always come, and it will never come if it shouldn't come. Wei Zhen said.
"You little girl has taught me a lesson. Now that I think about it, it seems like every time I have something troublesome, you always show up for me. You're almost my pistachio. Wei Zeng said.
"Really? As long as you're happy, I'll be sad to see you're unhappy. Wei Zhen blushed when he heard this, and said with his head bowed.
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Wei Zeng looked at Wei Zhen and said.
"Brother Wei, is there anything else?" Wei Zhen raised his head and asked, then approached Wei Zeng.
"We've known each other for almost eight years. Over the years, we have relied on each other for our lives, and we have encountered many sad things. If it weren't for you always supporting me silently, I don't know what I would have become.
"When I died four years ago, I can say that my heart was desperate, and I had nothing left but hatred for this world. I lost my parents when I was a child, my hometown was destroyed by the war, and even the people I loved died in the war. If it weren't for you silently comforting me and letting me dissolve my pain little by little, I'm afraid I would have fallen because of this. Really, I owe you an answer, and I will give it to you today. Wei Zeng said and shook Wei Zhen's hands.
"Brother Wei, what are you going to do here?" Wei Zhen was clenched by Wei Zeng's hands, and his heart was flustered, so he wanted to shake off Wei Zeng's hand and flee back to the house, hearing Wei Zeng say that he wanted to give himself an answer, he only endured the ups and downs in his heart and said: "Brother Wei, in fact, I have been waiting for your reply, but I have never dared to ask you, I really don't want to leave you." But I have also made up my mind that if you are willing to accept me, I will be by your side, and I will work harder than before to make you happy. If you don't want to accept me, I'll leave you and wander around, and I'm no longer a child, and I'll not trouble you anymore. Whatever decision you make, I'll take it. ”
"My decision is to keep you firmly in place, so that you will never be able to leave my side for the rest of your life." Wei Zeng said and took out a pair of bracelets and put them on Weizhen's wrist.
Wei Zhen looked at Wei Zeng quietly, put the two bracelets on his left and right wrists respectively, and a warm current in his heart spread to his whole body, this may be the so-called feeling of happiness. Weizhen was calm, but he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Zhen'er, why are you crying?" Wei Zeng asked.
Wei Zhen wiped away the tears that flowed and said, "Brother Wei, you don't know, I've been worried about you not wanting me all these years. I really don't know how I'm going to live on my own. I have always told myself that I am no longer a child, I must be strong and self-reliant, and I must not rely on others, otherwise I will not be able to live in the future. But in my heart I always wanted to be the child I used to be, so that I could do nothing and just rely on you all the time.
"I've always been worried that you're going to say, you don't like me, let me go alone. Although I have always comforted myself that even if I live alone, I can live well, I can save people with medical skills, and I can travel the world to see the green mountains and beautiful rivers, but in fact, I am very afraid of living alone. Brother Wei, I'm really happy today, I finally don't have to leave you. Wei Zhen said and shed more tears, and he couldn't stop for a while.
"Zhen'er, you've been silent, I always thought you were fine, but I didn't expect you to bear so many things. You can tell me anything in the future, and you don't have to hide it in your heart like this. Wei Zeng reassured.
"I won't cry anymore, I'm afraid I'll upset you if I cry again. Besides, if you cry and swell your eyes, it will be ugly and die. Weizhen tried his best to calm down and said in his heart.
"Who is crying, I can't let people sleep in the middle of the night. Hey? Sister Weizhen, why are you crying so much? Wei Zeng, it shouldn't be you bullying her. Sister Weizhen, tell me all your grievances, and I'll give you anger. Wen Di rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the room, and when he saw Wei Zhen crying, and Wei Zeng was beside him, he asked.
"It's me who has encountered a sad thing, and Brother Wei is comforting me. Brother Wei, I'm not sad now, so I'll go back to my room and sleep first. Wei Zhen saw Wen Di come out in a panic, and he really didn't know what to say about tonight, so he made an excuse and went back to the room.
"Wei Zeng, you shouldn't have something to hide from me." Wen Di asked suspiciously.
"Actually, there's nothing you can't say, it's just that it's not easy to say. I don't know what to say. Wei Zeng hesitated.
"Look at you like this, if you don't want to say it, forget it. I'm not that curious, and I'm going to find out what other people are secret. But Sister Weizhen was crying really hard just now, if I let me know that you bullied her, I won't teach you a good lesson. After Wendy finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.
Wei Zeng wanted to explain something, but he heard a sound behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a person walking on the roof with a steel knife in his hand, and a flying knife shot over.
The man screamed and fell from the roof. More people appeared, and the hidden weapon shot at Wei Zeng and Wen Di, killing them at the same time.
Wei Zeng and Wen Di avoided the hidden weapon and fought with the few people who rushed over. Wei Zeng joined forces with Wen Di and quickly forced the Assassins back. The other people in the courtyard also rushed out when they heard the movement.
At this time, the sound of swords and soldiers also sounded in other parts of the Yan Mansion, and it was obvious that the assassins had not only attacked this small courtyard. As soon as Gu Cha heard that there was also a fight at Master Yan's residence, he was worried that something would happen to Master and Xiuxiu, so he hurriedly rushed over.
Wei Zeng, Wen Di and Wei Zhen also followed. When I arrived at Master Yan's residence, I saw several masked people fighting with Master Yan. These masked men are very strong in martial arts. Master Yan was injured a lot under the attack of several people, and the situation was very critical.
More masked men stood around, besieging and killing the disciples who arrived one after another. When a masked man saw Wei Zeng's arrival, a cold light flashed in his eyes, so he let Master Yan lead people to rush towards the four people who rushed over.
Gu Cha was furious when he saw that Master Yan was in danger, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he took out his bow and arrow and shot at several masked people who were besieging Master Yan. Master Yan's pressure was slightly reduced with the support of Gu Chayi, but he was still entangled by several people and couldn't get out. Yan Xiuxiu was also surrounded in the center, relying on Master Yan to protect her for a while.
Wei Zeng and Wen Di cooperated with each other to kill the crowd and try to meet Master Yan. Although the black-clothed people on the periphery were weak in martial arts, they relied on the strength of the crowd and cooperated with each other, and they also blocked Wei Zeng and Wen Di from the periphery.
The masked man who had spared Master Yan rushed straight towards Wei Zeng, and his double-stick combo moves were revealed. Wei Zeng and Wen Di cooperated to attack, Wei increased his shield to block most of the attacks, and Wen Di attacked more and defended less under Wei Zeng's cover, inflicting great damage on the black clothes. The masked man was helpless in the face of Wei Zeng and Wen Erren's cooperation.
The several masked people who besieged Master Yan, seeing that Master Yan's martial arts were really strong and difficult to deal with, they glanced at each other, and the two attacked Master Yan. When Master Yan waved his gun to respond, the two of them suddenly flashed to the side, and a piece of white powder spilled over.
Master Yan hurriedly blocked it with his hands and turned backwards, but at this moment, two masked men came over and slashed Master Yan twice. Master Yan was injured and painful, but his courage did not diminish, and his spear stood straight, stabbing a masked man who was sneaking up, and at the same time sweeping away the other attackers with his spear.
"Daddy, you're hurt, you assassins, I'm fighting with you!" Yan Xiuxiu saw that her father was injured, and she was about to rush to the group of masked people in a moment of excitement.
"Xiuxiu, don't be impulsive." Master Yan stopped Yan Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, you must take care of yourself in the future, you can't be as willful as before." Check one, Xiuxiu will be handed over to you later! As he spoke, Master Yan grabbed Yan Xiuxiu and threw her out of the crowd with all his might.
Several masked men took the opportunity to stab Master Yan with their swords, and Master Yan blocked most of the attacks, but he was still stabbed, and his body was hacked to death by the masked men as soon as he was stunned.
When Gu Cha saw that his master was killed, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, and his longbow shot like an arrow from the full moon towards a man in black who killed Yan Xiuxiu. The wolf's tooth arrow was unstoppable, piercing the body of the man in black directly.
Gu Cha rushed to the black-clothed men with a gun and rescued Yan Xiuxiu. When Yan Xiuxiu saw that her father was dead, her heart was empty and she stayed there for a while, and when she was dragged back by Gu Cha, she suddenly woke up, and she was about to rush towards the man in black with a stick.
"Xiuxiu, don't be impulsive, Master's revenge will be avenged later, now we should leave here first." Gu Chayi grabbed Yan Xiuxiu tightly and retreated while fighting.
"He's the madman, and killing him is a great achievement." The masked man who attacked Wei Zeng shouted.
Hearing this, several masked men killed Wei Zeng one after another.
"What are you yelling at, I'll kill you first." When Wen Di heard that he had summoned his companions to besiege Wei Zeng, he immediately stabbed the man with a sword.
The man blocked Wendy's sword with a single stick. Wendi's swift sword slashed at the man's head. The man stepped back to dodge, but was stabbed in the face by Wendy. The visor was peeled off, and a streak of blood appeared on the man's face.
"Wu Qingfan! It turns out that you Qinggang did all this. Wei Zeng recognized the masked man and said.
"So what, today I will use your blood to wash away my shame." Wu Qingfan gritted his teeth and said.
"If you want to seek revenge on me, just come to me, Master Yan has never offended the Green Gang, why do you want to kill Master Yan." Wei Zeng asked.
"How can I relieve the hatred in my heart by killing only you, I will kill all the people related to you, and no one can leave here alive today. Kill me! Wu Qingfan beckoned everyone to kill Wei Zeng.
The masked men besieging Master Yan were really strong in martial arts, and under the siege of several masked men, Wei Zeng and Wen Di had to retreat again and again.
After Gu Cha stabilized Yan Xiuxiu, he asked Weizhen to take her to retreat first. He himself shot arrows to support Wei Zeng and Wen Di. The three of them withdrew from Yan's house with their cooperation. But as soon as he got out of Yan's house, a group of people blocked from the periphery of Yan's house.
Wen Di took the lead in rushing towards the black-clothed man who intercepted him, and his long sword struck quickly, killing several black-clothed people who were blocking the way, and everyone in the way was in a panic and opened a gap. Wei increased his shield staff and followed Wen Di closely, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, pounced on the black-clothed man who had already scattered. Gu Cha was behind to block the people who were chasing.
"Where are Zhen'er and Xiuxiu? Why didn't you see them? Wei Zeng asked after breaking through the interceptor.
"I asked Weizhen to take Xiuxiu away first just now, they should have come out early, they shouldn't have been ambushed." Gu Chayi replied.
"These people only showed up after we came out, and the two of them should still be in the house. How's that, do you want to kill back? Wendy said.
"No, isn't that them?" Wei Zeng said, pointing to a few horses rushing over.
It turned out that Wei Zhen thought that this time there was the participation of the Qing Gang, and it was inevitable to flee when he left Yan's house, so he went to the backyard stable to find the horses, and when he went out, he saw that Wei Zeng and the three of them were under siege, so they rode over.
Wu Qingfan watched Wei Zeng and his party ride away, and hurriedly called someone to find horses to chase after them, but it was too late.
"It's all getting them away, it's a. Didn't your Goddess Sect say that there was no problem with the person named Wei Zeng handing it over to you, why would you let him run to us? Wu Qingfan said to a man in black.
"What qualifications do you have to ask our Goddess Sect Xingshi, you haven't let him escape in the siege. The girl with the sword beside him is very good at martial arts, otherwise, the people I sent will definitely have no problem dealing with him. Besides, let them run, it's not that someone is secretly releasing water. The man in black said.
"Are you talking about me? I have no problem killing that person, but Miss Wendi is the woman I like, how can I let you hurt her. You can't let people run away, either blame Miss Wendi's good martial arts, or blame me for not doing anything. In fact, the organizer of this operation is to blame, if I were to arrange it, not a single fly would want to run out. Zheng Duxing said sarcastically.
"I have long said that the people of the Tang Sect are unreliable, and you goddess sects don't listen. Anyway, this time, our Qing Gang can be regarded as getting rid of a disobedient opponent, so that those martial arts sects in Fenglian City can clearly understand the situation, and it is not completely ungained. As for the person named Wei Zeng, I will find an opportunity to get rid of it myself in the future, so I don't need to trouble you. After Wu Qingfan finished speaking, he was about to take people away.
"Wu Warrior is slow! We had already discussed, we will help you settle the martial arts sect in Fenglian City, and you will help us get rid of this scourge. Since Wu Warrior still wants to kill him, why don't we do it together? As long as we cooperate, that person will not be able to escape far. The promise made by our Goddess Sect at the beginning still counts, and whoever kills that person will be the best choice for our Miss Sa's husband. The man in black said.
"I'd better do it by myself, I'm afraid that someone will secretly stir up the situation and let the cooked duck fly." Wu Qingfan glanced at Zheng Duxing and said, and then left.
"That's what their Green Gang looks like, and no one looks down on them if they have a little strength. However, our Tang Sect is a loyal supporter of your sect, and we still have room for cooperation in chasing and killing that person. As long as you promise to leave Miss Wendy behind, everything else will be up to you. A Valkyrie who completely belongs to the Goddess Cult is much better than a Valkyrie whose heart is half of an outsider. Zheng Duxing said with a smile.
"Where is Zheng Yongshi, if we can have Zheng Yongshi as the husband of our Goddess Sect, what are we worried about. After all, the Tang Sect is the largest gang in Yaodong, and if it reaches a long-term cooperation with our Goddess Sect, it will not be difficult to dominate Yaodong in the future. Since Zheng Yong is willing to participate in the pursuit of that person, let's go to a place and discuss it carefully, this is not the place to talk. The man in black rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
At this time, a person rode over to Yan's house. The men in black stepped forward to intercept him, but when they saw this person's face, they all dodged. This person rushed to the corner of the street, looked at the fire of Yan's house and bit his lip, his face was shocked and angry. In the light of the fire, it was recognizable that this person was Sagaret.
"Miss Sa, why are you here? Who told you about it? The man in black walked up to Sagaree and said in surprise.
"No one told me that I had overheard it myself. Ever since that incident happened the other day, you've been deliberating things behind my back. I didn't believe it when I overheard this, but I didn't expect you to actually kill him. You should have succeeded by now, I can't believe that the Cult of God, which I have always been faithful, would do such a thing. Sagaree said.
"Miss Sa, you are still too kind, and you don't know that people are sinister. You have to know how many people approach you, not purely out of true feelings, it is all for the momentum of our goddess religion. Why did the former Valkyrie never marry in her life? It's because she sees through those people. Do you think that the person named Wei Zeng saved you a little bit strangely? A few days ago, he even led you out, and how many gossips came out, which is forcing us to obey the goddess sect. We do this for your safety as well. The man in black said.
"I told you a long time ago, that time he saved me, the injury was all real, why don't you believe it. He hasn't looked for me since I was separated from him, and I didn't want to worry about it. It is true that the events of that day had nothing to do with him, and I caused all the troubles, so why did you blame all the sins on him, and you had to cause him to die? Sagaree said.
"Miss Sa, this is all a plan to get away with it, can't you see it, can't we elders see it? That man is very scheming, otherwise how could he have poisoned you so badly. I'm afraid that with your current condition, even if you know that he is lying to you, you will be willing to be deceived. That's why I and a few elders are reluctant to tell you what happened. The man in black said.
"Whether it's true or not, I can naturally tell the difference. Forget it, that's the point, what's the use of me talking about this. Where is his body, I want to see him one last time. Sagaree said with tears in her eyes.
"The man was so cunning that we didn't manage to kill him. However, we will not let him continue to threaten the Goddess Sect, he will definitely not be able to escape Yaodong! The man in black said.
So he's not dead! Great, I don't allow you to hurt him again, I'm ordering in the name of the Valkyrie. Sagaree turned to a smile and said.
"Miss Sa, you're too poisoned now, let's talk about it when you calm down. After a while, when you forget about this person, everything will be fine. What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't escort Miss Sa back. The man in black said.
"What are you doing here, not even listening to me? I'm a Valkyrie! Get out of the way! When Sagaret saw that the people were going to take her back by force, she rode out on her horse.
"Don't hurt Miss Sa! Don't let Miss Sa run away! Oh, you stopped it. Chase, chase fast! The man in black couldn't help but say.
The crowd was bewildered by repeated orders, and finally allowed Sagaree to escape.
