Chapter Forty-Six: A Night in a Small Town
Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng marched towards the small city with the injured Guanxi soldiers, and along the way, these people peeked at Feng Liansheng from time to time, and Feng Liansheng only pretended not to know. Wei Zeng was uneasy, but fortunately, these Guanxi soldiers were quite simple, and no one did anything deviant.
"Brother Wei, your lips are so dry, do you want to drink water, I'll go find some for you." Feng Liansheng said to Wei Zeng.
"Water, fairy, I have water here, you can take it." A Kansai soldier took out a kettle and handed it to Feng Liansheng.
"Thank you, big brother." Feng Liansheng took the water and saluted the man, and then fed Wei Zeng water.
"Where, you're welcome, hehe, hey." Seeing Feng Liansheng thanking him, the man hurriedly waved his hand and said, not paying attention, he stepped on the air and knocked the person in front of him to the ground, and everyone laughed for a while.
"Why are you so careless. Eh, you see the fairy laughing, or you'll overpower me again. The overpowered man got up and said. The crowd laughed again.
"You are really a blessing, if I am such a fairy-like wife, I am reluctant to let her work around so much, I must keep it at home and raise it well. But we don't have that blessing. A stretcher bearer said to Wei Zeng.
"Blessing, blessing." Wei Zeng just said with a smile. Feng Liansheng's face turned red again when he heard this.
After a short journey, the group reached a small town, and the sergeants returned to their garrison. Feng Liansheng took Wei Zeng to live in an inn. Since Feng Liansheng lived in the inn, the business of the inn has been much better for a while, and the tables in the lobby are full of people. From time to time, women come to bring their men home, but the table is never empty.
"Why is it so noisy outside. By the way, Miss Feng, I can't make it to my current situation, so I might as well stay here first. When I'm healed, let's go again. I have some savings here, so I would like you to help me buy some things. Wei Zeng said to Feng Liansheng.
"This little shop is a bit noisy. Brother Wei, you have a good rest, I'll go out to buy some medicine and prepare some food. Feng Liansheng said and went out.
Not long after, Feng Liansheng came back with a food box and a pack of medicine, and said to Wei Zeng: "Brother Wei, there are no good things in this small city, so I found something a little more decent, you can eat it." I'll boil this medicine for you later, you wait a while. β
Wei Zeng watched Feng Liansheng take out one dish after another from the food box, and gasped, this is the so-called slightly decent thing? Wei Zeng said to Feng Liansheng, who was serving vegetables for himself: "Miss Feng, is the money I gave you enough to buy these things?" We have a few more days to hold up our money. β
"Naturally, it's not enough, but it's almost enough for me to be a bracelet. Now the rest of the money is enough to spend two or three days, you don't have to worry, if the money is not enough, I will use some more jewelry. Brother Wei, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while. Feng Liansheng said.
"This Miss Feng, this money still has to be saved. The money I just gave you is all the money we spent while we were recuperating from our injuries, and I am now penniless. The rest of your money should not buy these foods, just prepare some coarse tea and light rice. It's good that this medicine can heal the wound, and it doesn't need to be too precious. Wei Zeng hesitated for a moment but said.
"Brother Wei, did I do something wrong? Don't blame me. I thought it was money for a meal, but I didn't expect it to be all your savings. I've never bought anything before, and I made a mistake at the moment. Feng Liansheng said, his eyes were a little red.
"Miss Feng, I'm not blaming you. Just pay attention to this expense in the future, and it is very troublesome if you really run out of money when you go out. I, Wei Zeng, are also from a hard-working background, and it is not my fault to let Miss Feng suffer with me. This meal looks good, let's eat it together and don't let it get cold. Wei Zeng hurriedly said.
"Yes, Brother Wei should eat first, it's important for you to take care of your body first. I'll pay attention later. Feng Liansheng pursed his lips and said.
In the evening of the same day, a certain person returned to the city and went directly to the inn and saw Feng Liansheng fetching water. Feng Liansheng has already changed out of the black clothes, although he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, it is difficult to hide his beauty, his figure is graceful, and his thin figure is always pitiful. A certain person was stunned for a moment when he saw Feng Liansheng.
"Big brother, is there anything you have to do here?" Feng Liansheng asked when he saw someone coming.
"I'm here to see you, your husband. I was also worried that Brother Wei was injured, so I came to visit. How can Miss Feng let you do such rough work, let me come. Someone said that he was about to take Feng Liansheng's bucket.
Feng Liansheng frowned. I thought that Wei Zeng and this officer didn't know each other, how could he be so concerned. Seeing that he was so enthusiastic about himself, he might have a plan, but it was not easy to shirk now, so he could only endure it first and wait for Wei Zeng to make plans after he was ready. Feng Liansheng dismissed the officer, and took him upstairs to see Wei Zeng with water.
The officer said to Wei Zeng for a while, then took his leave, and before leaving, he said that he would come back to visit Wei Zeng in the near future and bring some good medicine.
"A certain captain, I don't think the sick man is really good, but he suffers from the delicate little lady. It's better to take the opportunity to kill him, so as to fulfill a good marriage between the captain and Na Meiren. A sergeant said after someone had left the inn.
"How can this be done, we are also officials and soldiers of the imperial court, how can we do such a hurtful thing. Besides, the lady has a deep affection for his husband, so I don't have the slightest thought, and I can't do anything about breaking up other husbands and wives. Someone said.
"Since the captain doesn't have this mind, why should he be so concerned about them." The sergeant said.
"That lady is also a fairy-like person, although she can't get it, it's good to look at it twice." One of them laughed stupidly.
"Captain, I really don't understand what you're thinking."
Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng stayed in the shop for more than ten days, and Wei Zeng's injuries were much better. Feng Liansheng has been taking care of Wei Zeng every inch in the past few days, and Wei Zeng is also very moved. In the past ten days, a certain person has often come to visit, and after more than one time, Wei Zeng has lost his original wariness of this somewhat naΓ―ve Kansai person. On this day, Wei Zeng got out of bed and moved, and Feng Liansheng came into the house with medicine.
"Brother Wei, why did you get out of bed again, your injuries are not yet healed, so let's rest." Feng Liansheng put down the medicine and was about to help Wei Zeng get into bed.
"Miss Feng, I think the injury has healed. We can hurry. Wei Zeng said.
"Let's not recuperate for a few more days." Feng Liansheng suggested.
"It's not safe to be too close to the Cultists of Death, and we've been separated from Wendi for so long, so we should find a way to join them." Wei Zeng replied without hesitation.
"I should stay away from the Death Cultists, but why is Brother Wei's woman named Wendi so fierce to me, and she stabbed me with a sword last time, can't we go to her?" Feng Liansheng said.
"Wen Di was also impulsive last time. Besides, we are companions, and we must first meet together to report peace to each other. Wei Zeng said.
"Oh well. Where are we going? Feng Liansheng bit his lip and said.
"Let's go to a mountain lodge where the bounty hunters meet up and want to get some news. Let's do something else after that. Wei Zeng pondered.
"Okay, it's too late to go today, so let's go early tomorrow morning. Brother Wei still went to bed and took medicine first. Feng Liansheng nodded and said.
"Miss Feng, you see that my injuries are almost healed, and I don't need you to take care of them. It's getting late, shouldn't you open another room? Wei Zeng hesitated and said.
"Brother Wei has been here for so many days, and it's nothing to think about this last day. Besides, we say that we are husband and wife, and sleeping in this separate room will arouse suspicion, and it will not be good if we cause some unnecessary trouble. Besides, Brother Wei, I can also trust it. Feng Liansheng lowered his head and took the medicine and said.
"Since that's the case, I'll temporarily grieve Miss Feng." Wei Zeng replied.
When it was an eventful autumn, on the night when the two were about to leave, they were in trouble to find ****. There was a commotion from the inn around midnight, and Wei Zeng heard the noise and thought that trouble was coming, so he quickly got up and picked up his weapon to be on guard.
Feng Liansheng followed behind Wei Zeng without speaking. Wei Zeng saw a group of officers and soldiers searching for people in the inn through the crack in the door, and a certain person was among them. Thinking of someone's obsession with Feng Liansheng, Wei Zeng became alert, for fear that he would harm himself, and quietly escaped from the inn with Feng Liansheng through the window.
"You don't mean to joke that a traitor has infiltrated the town?" One said to another.
"It's true that these people are here for that beautiful woman." The man responded.
"Extremely beautiful woman, you are talking about Mrs. Wei, this is really possible, I want to tell the Wei brothers and their wife, let them take good precautions." A certain person walked to Wei Zeng's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time. Someone broke down the door, and there was another person there.
"It's not good that Brother Wei and Mrs. Wei are gone, it must be a traitor. A few of you continue to search the inn, and the others follow me to save people. Someone led someone to search out with the names of Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng.
When Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng heard the officers and soldiers chasing after them, they dared to stay and avoid the officers and soldiers and fled away. But they didn't notice that several figures were following them behind.
When the two of them ran to a desolate place, several men in black appeared in front of them, blocking their way. Wei Zeng was about to flee backwards with Feng Liansheng, but saw Liu Yi and several other people appear from behind.
"You two lonely men and widows are in the same room, and you have been having a good time these days. I let you escape last time, I don't know where else you can escape today? Liu Yi said angrily.
"Liu Yi, you are still so entangled, you have already entrusted your life to Brother Wei, even if you arrest me back, I will not obey you. You can do it, let me and I go. Feng Liansheng said to Liu Yi.
"You are my maid, you dare to collude with outsiders to abscond, and you will be punished for your crime when I go back. As for your name Wei Zeng, right? What a bold man, he dared to deceive the people of my Holy Sect and kidnap my maid, if I don't kill you today, others will think that I Liu Yi is a bully, go to death. Liu Yi drew his knife at Wei Zeng.
"If you want to kill, kill me first, Brother Wei's injury is not healed yet, what kind of ability are you bullying an injured person. If Brother Wei dies, I will never live alone, you can kill me first. Feng Liansheng knew that Wei Zeng's injury was not healed, and he was definitely not Liu Yi's opponent, so he stopped in front of Liu Yi and blocked Wei Zeng.
"Okay, I'll kill you slut first." Saying that, Liu Yizhen slashed at Feng Liansheng with a knife.
Wei Zeng saw that Feng Liansheng was in danger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block the horizontal knife with a cane, but Wei Zeng was not Liu Yi's opponent in the first place, and now he was injured and even more invincible, and he was knocked to the ground in a few moves. Feng Liansheng stepped forward to protect Wei Zeng, and he was about to wait for death when he closed his eyes.
At this moment, there was a burst of applause, and someone said, "Hahahaha, what a good show." As everyone knows, the Death Saint is so elegant, venturing into the city late at night, and acting in such a tortuous and moving show, Shui is really eye-opening, maybe if he continues to watch it, Shui will burst into tears. β
"The water is clear, and you sinner is here. Did you suffer less in the past? Can you get me with just a little bit of you? Liu Yi looked around at the demon sect members who appeared, and said to Shui Qingliu with a chuckle.
"Death saint is not in a hurry, I can't help you, but what if you add more than a thousand defenders in this city? The time has come for the brothers to kill, purge the traitors for the court, and make meritorious deeds. Shui Qingliu said, and many Kansai sergeants appeared, and when they heard Shui Qingliu's shout, they came to kill together.
