Chapter Thirty-Six: Traces of the Wilderness
After escaping the pursuit of the Predators, the group discussed their future whereabouts. Most people plan to go back to their own sect first to inquire about the news and arrange the affairs of the sect. Liu Hexin planned to continue to travel with Wen to the fourth place. On the occasion of separation, Gu Chayi found Wei Zeng.
"Wei Zeng, I want to tell you something. Senior Yan over there is also a gun, and I have been asking him for martial arts advice these days. This senior Yan saw that I was quite diligent in my practice, and I also had those talents in martial arts, so he wanted me to learn martial arts with him. My martial arts are not too good, you also saw the marksmanship of Senior Yan just now, it can be called superb. If I can get the guidance of Senior Yan, I am also willing, so I want to talk to you. Gu Cha said to Wei Zeng. Senior Yan was the warrior who killed the siege of the iron-blooded army with Liu Hexin and led everyone out of the capital.
"Senior Yan's martial arts are naturally good, and I am happy for you to get such a good master. You just go with Senior Yan. In fact, when I came out this time, I also wanted to learn martial arts from a teacher, but Senior Yan's kung fu was not suitable for me, otherwise it would be good for the two of us to practice martial arts together. Wei Zeng said.
"Then Wei Zeng, where are you going to go in the future, and what are your plans?" Gu Chayi asked.
"I've heard in Kyoshi that bounty hunters are gathering in Kansai, so I want to go to Kansai first." Wei Zeng responded.
"Wei Zeng, you seem to have always been concerned about the matter of bounty hunters, do you want to be a bounty hunter?" Gu Chayi asked.
"Not really, it's just a promise made in the first place." Wei Zeng groaned, but did not say the real reason. Wei Zeng never mentioned the matter of Miss Feng to others, but he was determined to rescue Miss Feng.
"Then Wei Zeng, you have to be careful all the way, I heard that Kansai is very unstable now, but you should be able to deal with it. And Weizhen, you have to take good care of her. Gu Chayi admonished.
"I will." Wei Zeng replied.
"Wei Zeng, I will follow Master Yan to practice martial arts in Yaodong Fenglian City in the future, write to me when you are free, and don't forget to come and see me when you pass by Yaodong." Gu Chayi said. said goodbye to Weizhen again, and left with Master Yan.
"Gu Chayi, you have to practice martial arts well, and you will definitely be able to become a hero in the future." Wei Zhen said with tears in his eyes when he parted.
As soon as Gu Cha said "definitely", he went all the way away with Master Yan.
"Brother Wei, can we still see Gu Chayi in the future?" Wei Zhen asked.
"Silly girl, why not. When we finish dealing with the affairs of Kansai, we will go to Yaodong. In fact, I also want to see the customs of Yaodong. Wei Zeng took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that Wei Zhen shed and comforted.
"I know Brother Wei, then let's go too." Weizhen took the handkerchief and stopped crying and said.
When he was in Beijing, Gu Cha saw so many martial arts people gathered together, and his heart to practice martial arts rose, so he humbly asked for advice. Master Yan's marksmanship is skillful, so he naturally became the target of Gu Chayi's key consultation.
Master Yan also had a good impression of Gu Chayi, a diligent and respectful junior, and heard that he did not apprentice, so he had the intention of accepting an apprentice. In the Battle of Jingshi, Gu Chayi also fought bravely, blocking the enemy for Master Yan several times, and shared a lot of pressure. Master Yan was also very grateful for this, and put forward a suggestion to teach Gu Cha a martial arts on the occasion of parting. Gu Cha was naturally happy, so he discussed with Wei Zeng.
Since Wei Zeng arrived in Beijing, in addition to investigating the news of the Jingnan Army, he also paid special attention to the news of the bounty hunters and the Death Sect. A few days ago, I heard that the bounty hunters were gathering in Kansai in a big way, and it was quite a trend to hunt down and kill the holy son Liu Yi at the beginning. So Wei Zeng planned to go to Kansai to investigate as soon as the capital was over.
The next day, when Wei Zeng and Weizhen walked to a tea shed to take a rest and ask for some food, a red horse with a girl in red came to the tea shed.
"Finally caught up. Wei Zeng also prepared a meal for me. With that, Wen Di dismounted, tied the horse to the pillar, and walked to the table where Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen were.
"Wendi, why are you here?" Wei Zeng said with some surprise.
"I told my dad that I was grown up and could travel the world by myself, and my dad agreed when he heard it, so I came." Wen said lightly.
"Uncle Liu agreed, didn't say anything?" Wei Zeng asked in disbelief.
"Of course, my dad is so open-minded and loves me so much." Wendy said.
"This ...... Then Wendi, are you going to come with me to Kansai? Wei Zeng asked.
"What do you mean to follow you to Kansai, did you build this road to Kansai? I saw that my sister was walking too hard, and I wanted to take my sister for a ride, so I went to Kansai with my sister Weizhen. I said with some dissatisfaction.
"Okay, let's eat when the meal comes." Wei Zeng had no choice but not to say anything, but only buried himself in eating.
"Sister Wendi's horse is so beautiful, where did you buy it?" Yuzhen heard Wendy's words and looked at the horse outside the door and praised.
"Pretty, I picked it up. I'll take you on a horseback in a little while, and I won't have to suffer from this journey. ”
"Picked it up! Profound. But Sister Wendi, I haven't ridden a horse, but I can't ride it. ”
"It's okay, I'll teach you later."
After eating, Wen Di took Weizhen and rode in front, and Wei Zeng had to follow behind.
"Wei Zeng, you're too slow, let's go to the front first, you can follow slowly." Wendy said, whipping his horse's whip and going away.
"Brother Wei, I'll go first, I'll prepare some tea in front." Wei Zhen said to Wei Zeng before leaving.
Wei Zeng watched the two of them walk away, touched the money bag, and wondered if he should add a mount. "Forget it, let's see if we can pick up a horse too."
In the corner of the tea shed, several people watched Wei Zeng and the three of them walk away, and one said: "The commander just now is the person on the portrait, why don't you go around and kill him to receive the reward." ”
What do you know? In Lu Ye City, two guards and several commanders died at his hands. Surround it, how many lives do you think you have for him to kill? The leader said.
"But there were only three of them, and two of them were women. There are fifteen of us, can't we beat it? Killing him can lead to three levels in a row. The man said unwillingly.
"At the beginning, there were hundreds of people chasing and intercepting him, but it wasn't that he was allowed to escape. Even though the reward is good, it must be given with a life. The leader said.
"Then let them go like this?"
"Naturally, I won't just let him go. Don't forget who we are now, that is to help the court purge the loyal people of the rebellious party. The Jingshi has already sent a message asking us to act. Take this sign and go to the town ahead to inform the local guard to send someone to arrest the traitor. It's not ours to take the credit for taking the credit. The commander took out a wooden card and handed it to one of them.
"I'm going to go."
"The commander of Shui Qingliu's personal guard this time is really capable, and he has won the trust of the imperial court. It's really fun to let us destroy ourselves. One said
"What do you say? What is called self-extermination? We were ordered to help the imperial court eliminate the cultists, is our cult a cult? The Commander said with a pretense of majesty.
"Yes, yes, it's small, it's wrong, the cult is propagandizing, it's the true righteousness of the Lord God, how can it be a cult, a small palm."
"Okay, follow them, and when the officers and soldiers come, we will clean up this person together, and let's go." The commander beckoned the people and left the teahouse.
Wei Zeng walked ten miles, and when he saw that Changting Wendi and Wei Zhen were resting in front of him, he rushed over. Wei Zhen handed Wei Zeng a cup of tea. Wei Zeng rested for a while and was about to continue his journey, when the dust rose in front of him, and it was obvious that a team of more than 100 people and horses were coming. However, the group was disorganized and ununiformly dressed, holding simple spears and knives, and some of them were only sharpened sticks. Apparently hastily assembled the county militia.
One person pointed to Wei Zeng and said something to the leading county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant commanded everyone to surround Wei Zeng and the three of them. The militiamen had only been slightly trained, and some of them were a little trembling with their weapons, apparently unarmed.
The leading county lieutenant rode a donkey to Wei Zeng and the three of them, and saw that it was just a young man leading two girls, how could it not be like the rumored fierce and vicious chaotic party, so he had doubts in his heart and said to one person: "Are you sure that the three of them are the chaotic party?" Isn't it a pastime for the official? ”
"Sir, don't be fooled by their appearance, that man is a master of martial arts, and has committed endless murders. Maybe he kidnapped these two girls. The man quickly explained.
"Is that so? Why do you and the other three disobey Wang Hua and intend to rebel? Now that the heavenly soldiers have arrived, it is better to put down their weapons and surrender. I don't think the three of you are stubborn people, if you have any grievances, you should be lenient as appropriate. Otherwise, if you resist stubbornly, this official will not spare you lightly. ”
Wei Zeng also looked vigilant when he saw that he was being surrounded, and when he saw that the county lieutenant walked in front of him, he shook his head and said to himself. Wei Zeng thought that he must not fall into the hands of the government, and when he saw that the county lieutenant was unguarded, he wanted to move forward to capture him.
After the county lieutenant finished speaking, he waited for Wei Zeng and the three of them to confess their guilt in fear, but they didn't expect Wei Zeng to rush over, so he hurriedly drove the donkey back, fell off the donkey in a panic, and then got up and ran into the crowd.
Wei Zeng turned over on the donkey without catching anyone, and rushed out of the crowd on the donkey. Wen Di took Wei Zhen and got on the horse and rushed over with Wei Zeng.
These militiamen were scattered in formation, and when they saw someone rushing towards them, some of them dropped their weapons and fled backwards, and some of them took their weapons and killed them as soon as they closed their eyes. If these people formed a rejection formation, they could really stop Wei Zeng and the others, but what could they do with such chaos.
When the county lieutenant saw that the three of them had gone away and took away his donkey, he hurriedly led the people to chase them, but how could the two legs chase after the four legs, and there was no trace of the three of them in a short time.
The demon commander in the distance saw that the county militia was so unbearable, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet. "You guys follow them, and the others follow me to report this to the water guards. Hey, it's really useless. After saying that, he led the people away.
Wei Zeng got rid of the pursuers and looked at the mount under his crotch, and then looked at Wendi's horse and thought: "I really let myself pick up a mount, but this appearance is really ...... Forget it, some of them are good to ride. ”
Then the three of them, a donkey and a horse, continued to embark on the road to Kansai.
