Chapter Seventy-Five: The Green and Yellow Brothers
The place where the temple of the goddess is located is the city of Dega. Dejia City is the capital of Yaodong, and it is also the only fortress city of the barbarians at the beginning.
The barbarians admired bravery, believing that engaging in productive activities in the village could obtain a stronger physique, hunting in the wild could also exercise martial arts, and surviving in the city would make people industrious and lose their bravery. As a result, most of the Yaodong barbarians lived in villages, and only some cities were reserved as trading places.
Only the priests of Dega, in order to show their transcendent status, built majestic palaces and fortified cities. In the face of the attack of the dynasty's wasteland team, Dejia City, which should have been the most difficult to capture, surrendered without making any resistance.
In order to protect themselves, the barbarian priests adopted an extremely cooperative attitude, lobbied and denounced the barbarian tribes that continued to resist from the standpoint of the dynasty, which contributed to the final collapse of the barbarian resistance.
So the former barbarian priests became the elders of the Goddess Sect and the Fox Worship Sect, and when the Yaodong nation was formed, they still enjoyed a lofty status, but they were respected by a group of people.
After the confluence of the Goddess Sect and the Fox Worship Sect that year, the prestige and power swept through the entire Yaodong region, causing the vigilance of the imperial court. The imperial court successively abolished many autonomous privileges in the Yaodong region, and set up guard posts in major cities to control them, and the chief officials of the guard posts were directly subordinate to the imperial court, and regularly informed the court of Yaodong affairs.
Of course, now that this system has been abandoned, the core ruling areas of the imperial court, Anyun, Guanxi and Jiangnan, have appeared one after another, how can there be any effort to manage the far places in Yaodong?
A few years ago, the new emperor had a whimsical idea to maintain the rule of the imperial court by civil force, which led to a major reshuffle of the many forces that Yaodong had always balanced, and the martial arts sects were greatly weakened, and the Goddess Sect also lost its monopoly position in dialogue with the imperial court.
As a result, the local gangster forces in Yaodong developed. And the principals of the Yaodong David also have their own plans, and the court can no longer point to them, so they have to think about their own future.
On this day, Wei Zengzheng and Wei Zhen traveled to the vicinity of Dejia City, and saw a group of people in front of them surrounding and blocking the road ahead. When Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen approached, they saw two people among the dozen or so guards, one of them was holding his thighs with a painful look on his face, and the other was in a hurry but also kept a little calm.
The person standing saw the face of the fallen man with a black face, knowing that if he didn't treat him, his life would be lost, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out a steel knife, and said to the person who fell to the ground: "Second brother endured it, a broken leg is nothing, and you are still a well-known man after this level." ”
"Wait a minute, I see that the poison in him has spread, and even if you cut off his leg, you may not be able to save him. Your brother is already weak, and if you slash him again, if he loses too much blood because of this, he may not be able to survive. Seeing this, Wei Zhen couldn't bear it, so he didn't think much about it and stepped forward and said directly.
"Then what should I do, do you want me to watch my second brother die like this?" The man standing gritted his teeth and said sadly.
"I've studied medicine, you show me. I see that your brother has been poisoned by a pit viper, and I have some antidote here, so I will give him a dose first. I sealed a few of his big holes, protected his heart, and then tried to detoxify him. Wei Zhen said that he stepped forward to visit, gave some medicine to the poisoned person, and applied needles to treat him. After some treatment by Weizhen, the situation of the poisoned person finally stabilized.
"His poison has almost been cleaned up, and there is no danger to his life. But his body was weak, and this time his vitality was greatly damaged. When you get home, be sure to recuperate quietly. I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and you take the medicine according to it, and he should be back to normal after ten days. Weizhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Thank you girl for saving me, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have lost my only brother today. In Xia Ding Zhuqing, this is my second brother Ding Zhuhuang, we were originally officials of the Dejia City Guard, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when we came out to hunt this time. In the future, if there is a need for my two brothers, we will definitely do it. Ding Zhuqing said.
"This is the duty of a doctor to save people, what to talk about thanks. However, I came to Dejia City with Brother Wei, and I do have some things to do, and you are officials of the health center, so you should be able to help, but this matter involves the Goddess Sect and it is very difficult to do. Wei Zhen retreated to Wei Zeng's side and said.
Ding Zhuqing saw the intimacy between Weizhen and Wei Zeng, and guessed the relationship between the two, so he hugged his fists at Wei Zeng and said: "This brother is a friend of the girl, and naturally he is also the benefactor of our two brothers. I sincerely want to repay the two of you for saving your life, please tell the two of you if you have anything, my two brothers are also a little powerful in Dejia City, and they are not afraid of what the goddess teaches, and my two brothers will do their best to complete it. ”
"I do have some things to do when I brought Zhen'er here this time, but a few days ago, for various reasons, I was involved in the dispute of the Goddess Sect. In Fenglian City, he was besieged by the Qing Gang and separated from several friends. Don't hide it from Brother Ding, I am the madman Wei Zeng who was rumored to be arrested by the Goddess Sect and returned to the Goddess Temple, and I also know the rumors in the market, and there are all kinds of things.
"Originally, these rumors were fine, but when my lost friends heard the news that I had been captured in the temple of the goddess, they would have rushed to their rescue, and it would not be good if they were in danger because of this. I came to Dejia City to find a few friends. I don't know if Brother Ding can help. Wei Zeng thought that it would be a little difficult for him to find Wen Di and Gu Chayi alone, and he also planned to use the help of the Ding brothers.
"Are you the rumored madman Wei Zeng, this is really a hero out of a young man. Could it be that this girl is the new Valkyrie, but it's not at all like the rumors. Brother Wei, you don't know how famous you are in Dejia City now, and almost everyone in Dejia City is talking about the love story between you and the Valkyrie. I personally agree with the love between you and the Valkyrie, and the goddess is really wrong to beat the mandarin ducks. Ding Zhuqing was also surprised when he heard that the person in front of him was the legendary madman, and thought of the previous rumors and said.
"Brother Ding misunderstood, Zhen'er is not a Valkyrie, and as for the rumors, it is not credible at all. I have something to do with the Goddess Cult and the new Valkyrie, but it's all unpleasant, and it definitely has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. Wei Zeng didn't expect his words to provoke this reaction, and he explained with a smile for a while.
"It's true that three out of 10 of the rumors are true, and I won't believe it. But I think Brother Wei must also be a well-known figure, otherwise why don't you spread it to other people and spread it to you, brother?
"What Brother Wei just said, I will leave it to the two of us brothers to handle it, and we will definitely find your friend as soon as possible. Just ask Brother Wei and Engong to go back to the city with me, and I will definitely entertain the two of you. As for the matter of the Goddess Sect, Brother Wei didn't have to worry about it at all. Most of the people in Dejia City were sympathetic to the love affair between the Wei brothers and the Valkyrie, and the Goddess Sect did not dare to act rashly.
"Of course, Brother Wei has Engong by his side, and the so-called love affair with the Valkyrie is naturally nothing, and I will definitely not believe it. Moreover, with the protection of our Ding family, the Goddess Sect can't do anything to Brother Wei. But I'm still curious about how Brother Wei got involved with Valkyrie, and if you can tell the truth in the next two. I'm not snooping on my brother's privacy, I know the real situation, so I can refute the rumors for you, brother. In my opinion, Brother and Eun Gong are a natural pair, it must be the Valkyrie who wants to destroy your relationship, but Brother rejected her with deep affection for Eun Gong, which will cause such a big reaction from the Goddess Sect, it must be so. Ding Zhuqing said and began to make up about Wei Zeng by himself.
"It's not that cumbersome, and there's no privacy. The matter of finding a friend in the next trouble for Brother Ding, Wei Zeng was grateful. I'm going to bother you two for the next few days. Wei Zeng couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't explain too much and just said simply.
"I'm also very happy to be able to do things for Engong, and it's even more fun to be able to get to know Brother Wei, please come back to the city with me." Ding Zhuqing said.
So Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen went to Dejia City with the Ding brothers and lived in the Ding Mansion. The people of the Goddess Sect noticed Wei Zeng when he entered the city, and it was only because of the people of the guard that the Goddess Sect did not act rashly.
The Ding brothers are natives of Yaodong, but their ancestors are a branch of the Qingyuan Emperor and also have royal blood, so the reason why the Ding family has always occupied a place in Dejia Chengwei.
Brother Ding Zhuqing likes martial arts, has practiced a good martial arts, and is well versed in military affairs, once went north to cooperate with the Guanbei army to encircle and suppress Yushan bandits, and made great military achievements.
The second brother Ding Zhuhuang's physique is much weaker, and he likes to read since he was a child, not only proficient in poetry and books, but also involved in miscellaneous studies such as astronomy, geography, and calculation. Over the years, he has been helping his brother with the affairs of the health office.
In the past few days, Ding Zhuqing has entertained Wei Zeng and Weizhen on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has sent people to step up the search for the whereabouts of Wen Di and Gu Chayi. The Goddess Sect sent people to come several times, but they were all blocked by Ding Zhuqing.
Ding Zhuhuang's condition has also improved greatly under Weizhen's treatment, and he has been able to get out of bed and walk around. Wei Zhen noticed that Ding Zhuhuang was weak, and when he was treating him, he also taught him some ways to recuperate his body.
Ding Zhuhuang listened carefully every time, and showed respect for Weizhen, just like a student facing a teacher's lecture. Yuzhen told him to relax, but he was cramped and didn't know what to do, and he made Weizhen laugh several times.
After a few days, Ding Zhuhuang's condition improved greatly, and he often visited Wei Zeng and Weizhen's residences. For such a humble and friendly person, Wei Zeng and Weizhen get along very well with him.
On this day, the three of them were still talking about some interesting things about Mobei and Yaodong, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time. At this time, Ding Zhuqing hurriedly walked into the courtyard and told Wei Zeng that the Valkyrie Sajiali had appeared near Dejia City, and Wen Di was beside her. The people of the Goddess Cult have rushed over after receiving the news.
When Wei Zeng heard the news, he was worried that the people of the Goddess Sect would be unfavorable to Wendi, so he immediately went forward. Ding Zhuqing ordered more than a dozen families to lead the way in front. Ding Zhuhuang saw that Weizhen also followed, and asked for a horse to follow.
"You see that the second young master has changed like a different person in the past few days, and he is so kind to people when he talks and laughs." One of the servants said, looking at the crowd in the distance.
"The second young master is different. In the past, he had a straight face all day long, didn't like to talk, and didn't like to socialize with people. Doing almost nothing except reading books and dealing with government affairs all day. I think it's all because of that girl. Another servant said.
"Of course, it's because of that girl, when did you see the second young master taking the initiative to talk to someone like that. But the girl seems to be famous, and the two are very affectionate. That's not easy! The former shook his head and said.
"It's all their business, and we don't have to worry about it. Let's do our part. However, although the second young master has always been cold to people, he has never beaten and scolded his subordinates, it would be better if it was because the girl became kinder. So saying, the two took their tools and went to work.
