Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Bounty Hunters
After Wei Zeng returned from Wendi, he continued to move forward with him. Wei Zeng also breathed a sigh of relief after asking about the situation, and took Weizhen all the way. After a while, a group of ironclad cavalry in the rear chased after them, and Wei Zeng and Wen Di were surprised in their hearts, thinking that this group of people was coming at them, and they were secretly on guard. But the group didn't make any movement when they saw the three of them, but the leader rode up to the side of the three and asked, "Have you ever seen a group of gangsters with a dozen people passing by?" The officer said to the three of them with his head tilted and his nostrils turned to the sky.
"It's not this team of people who are arresting the Demon Cultists." Wei Zeng thought in his heart and replied: "Is it a dozen people, they didn't go in this direction, they went there." ”
"What, that direction? These thugs even play tricks to attack the whole world. The officer looked in the direction Wei Zeng pointed, turned his head again, and finally glanced at Wei Zeng and the others: "It's really cunning." Hey, such a handsome girl, there are two. You kid doesn't look good, but Yanfu is not shallow. ”
"Master Jun, they're just my companions." Wei Zeng said.
"Companion?" The officer rolled his eyes and said, "No, I think you are the traffickers who abducted and trafficked human beings, and these two are the women of a good family that you have abducted." Uncle is in a good mood today, I will spare you this time if you teach people out. ”
"You ......" Wei Zeng hurriedly guarded when he heard this, and he was ready to flee.
"You're going to save me? Do you think I'm in danger, and you can get me? Wendy said as he walked a few steps forward to the officer.
"The prestige of this official is resounding in the nearby counties and towns, and the girl in distress can naturally be saved, just like this person......" When the officer was raising his head and boasting, Wen Di pulled out his long sword and stabbed a few strands of red tassels on the officer's helmet, cut off his hat belt and the red scarf around his neck, but did not hurt him in the slightest, and put the sword into the sheath.
The officer was stunned for a moment, pointing at Wei Zeng's hand and couldn't take it back for a while, seeing Wen Di looking at him coldly, the officer rolled his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "For example, this person must not be the girl's opponent, and of course he is not a lawbreaker." This girl has gone all the way, and your own official still wants to arrest the important culprits of the court, so you won't have much compensation. Brothers go. ”
"Another master who bullies the weak and fears the hard. Hum. Wendy said disdainfully to the departing officer.
"Sister Wendi, I'm really worried that something will happen. There are more than 30 of them, and we may not have beaten them if we really did it. Wei Zhen had palpitations, and when he saw that he was holding Wei Zeng's arm tightly, he quickly let go.
"Sister Weizhen doesn't have to worry, I've seen a lot of people who only know how to bully the weak. When there is no danger, they are majestic, and they don't have the courage to risk their lives when they encounter danger. The more you whisper to them, the more you will be bullied, and being tougher will scare them away. ”
"Be tough, then you have to be tough first. Not everyone is as strong as yours. Wei Zeng said.
"Why are you jealous? If you want to learn, I can teach you? Wendy just said that.
"Well, let's hurry first. Let's talk about martial arts when I have a chance in the future. Wei Zeng smiled awkwardly and said.
Wen Di seemed a little unhappy when he saw Wei Zeng, but he couldn't figure out what he said wrong. only took Wei Zhen over and said that Wei Zeng was too slow, and he went to the town in front of him first to rest and wait for him.
"Sister Weizhen, Wei Zeng didn't seem to be very happy just now, what the hell is going on, I didn't say anything wrong." When Wen Di was a certain distance away from Wei Zeng, he said to Wei Zhen.
"This, Sister Liu, what should I say. Brother Wei is a very strong person, he has overcome all kinds of difficulties and survived alone since he was a child, although Brother Wei is usually very introverted, but he is as proud as Sister Liu in his bones. It's always unpleasant to be looked down upon. Wei Zhen explained.
"To be despised by others? Who despises him, me? Where did I despise him? I stopped laughing at him a long time ago. Wendy was a little surprised.
"Well, Sister Liu naturally won't deliberately despise Brother Wei, in the past, you just joked that Brother Wei could still tell the difference, and he wouldn't care. Well, I want to ask Sister Liu, have you ever met an opponent you can't deal with before? Yuzhen tried to explain to Wendy.
"Let me think about it, it's really not." Wendy replied.
"Hehe, Sister Liu is really strong in martial arts. Let's say you meet such a person, and you can't deal with it, what will happen to you? Wei Zhen said.
"Can't I handle it? I can find my dad. Wendy replied casually.
"Uncle Liu can't count, you can only rely on you alone." Wei Zhen said.
"On my own. Then I'll practice martial arts well, and then deal with him when my martial arts are better. Wendy thought and said.
"Actually, Brother Wei thought the same thing, although he didn't say it, I could still see it. But before your martial arts have improved, you have encountered this kind of enemy one after another, every time you are powerless, and every time you have to rely on the help of others to get out of danger, will you feel better. Wei Zhen said.
"That seems a bit ...... But he can ask me for advice, and I'm sure I won't keep it private. Wendy said.
"Herein lies the problem. You and Brother Wei are also childhood friends, and it's okay to compare with each other, if you really use the gift of master and apprentice, who can save face. Wei Zhen said.
"So what to do? It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Wouldn't he be angry with me? ”
"It's not enough to be angry, but there must be depression. As long as Sister Liu's performance is not so outstanding in the future, let Brother Wei perform more, and it is best to let Brother Wei save him once or twice. Then everything should be solved. ”
"It's so hard! I'll have to think about it. It's still a true sister's mind, and it's really not my strong point to use my brain to find a way. Wendy looked thoughtful when he heard this.
"I've just been with Brother Wei for a long time, and I know Brother Wei's mind better." Wei Zhen blushed and said quickly.
Wei Zeng rode a little donkey slowly and leisurely alone, Wei Zeng thought about his future plan: save Miss Feng and find a good master. Which one should you do first? Save Miss Feng first, a black-clothed holy guard can probably solve himself with this little martial art, can he save people in the end? Looking for a teacher to learn art first, I don't know how many years it takes to learn martial arts, Miss Feng will definitely suffer.
At this moment, Wei Zeng saw a large number of bounty hunters wearing leather armor gathering in the town in front of him. Wei Zeng thought to himself, "It seems that if you want to save Miss Feng, you must use the power of the bounty hunter." Wei Zeng's mind was raised, so he drove his donkey and hurried towards the town, hoping to meet with the bounty hunters, inquire about the news of the Death Cultists, and plan how to rescue Miss Feng.
Wei Zeng walked to the small shop in the town, and saw that Wen Di and Weizhen had already prepared wine and food, so they waited for him to eat. The group of bounty hunters had also taken up a few tables in the small shop and were eating. When Wei Zeng entered the door, he heard a few people say the words Guanxi, a cultist. After greeting Yuzhen and Wendy, he walked towards the bounty hunter.
"May I ask who is in charge, I want to inquire about something in the next Wei Zeng." Wei Zeng arched his hand to those people and said.
"In Xia Xu Diaoling, thanks to the promotion of all brothers, now it is the main matter, I don't know what this brother has to say?" One person saluted Wei Zeng and said.
"Just now, I heard a few brothers talking about the Death Cultists, so I'm here to inquire about you." Wei Zeng said directly.
"Death cultists? I wonder what the brother asked them about? Xu Diaoling's eyes showed a fine light and said to Wei Zeng.
"To tell you the truth, I have a friend who was kidnapped by the Death Cult in Kanbei. Zai Xia has been chasing the traces of the Death Cultists, and after half a year, he finally heard that there were Death Cultists in Kansai, so he immediately rushed over. I promised that friend that I would rescue him, and I asked Brother Ren to do it. Wei Zeng said.
"It is not less than a thousand miles from Guanbei to Guanxi, and Brother Wei has been pursuing it for so long for a promise, and he is really a man of faith. To tell you the truth, we did go to the Death Cultist, and for several years my bounty hunter made a pact that we would unite to destroy the Son of Death. Speaking of half a year ago, I heard that half a year ago, in the Kanbei Land Leaf City, my bounty hunter had a confrontation with the Son of Death, although I did not participate in person, but I also heard that the situation was very tragic at that time, and many brothers died because of it. Brother Wei is from Guanbei, so he should have heard about it. Xu Diaoling continued to ask.
"To tell you the truth, that friend of mine was kidnapped by the Son of Death in Luye City half a year ago. Speaking of that encounter, I was actually involved, and it was only then that I learned that the bounty hunter had been chasing the Son of Death. I've been asking other bounty hunters for the past six months. Wei Zeng replied.
"I see, Brother Wei is tired. Brother Wei is from Jingshi? I heard that something happened to Jingshi recently, and it is really a powerful man for Brother Wei to be able to get out safely. Xu Diaoling was still tentative.
"It's all luck to be able to escape from Jingshi, if it weren't for Liu Hexin's predecessor to take us all the way out, I'm afraid I would have been a corpse by now." Wei Zeng replied.
"Liu Hexin's senior! You've seen Liu Hexin's predecessors! Where is Liu Hexin's senior? Brother Wei, Senior Liu once rescued Zai Xia a few years ago, and Zai Xia has always wanted to thank him, but Senior Liu has been erratic and has never found a chance. Xu has always regretted this, and asked Brother Wei to tell him that he was grateful. Xu Diaoling stood up when she heard Liu Hexin's name, and hurriedly said to Wei Zeng.
"A few days ago, I was separated from Senior Liu, and now I really don't know where he is. However, Senior Liu's daughter may be able to answer Brother Xu's doubts over there. Wei Zeng said.
"You know my dad and want to thank him? Why don't I remember you, though? Wendy had been listening to the conversation between the two of them, and when he heard the mention of himself, he said so.
"You probably didn't remember me when you were young, but I remember you. Your name is Wendy, isn't it? You speak in the same tone as you did when you started, but you have grown a lot taller and more beautiful. Do you still remember the passerby you killed several thieves on the Huanghuling Mountain Road six years ago? Xu Diaoling said with a smile to Wen Di.
"It seems like there's such a thing. But I don't know where my dad is now, so it's useless for you to ask me. Wendy replied.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's the same with thanking your daughter. Brother Wei, you're with Miss Liu. By the way, you just asked about the Kansai Death Cultists. I will tell my brother everything I know. It's better for everyone to get together along the way, and have a good care. ”
