The autumn wind is a little cool, and the sky is about to curtain, which makes it even more bleak. In the slanting light of the setting sun, Wei Zeng stood on the desolate path and confronted several deserters.

Han Taozi was in distress, he was already very desperate, but when he saw Wei Zeng coming, he had the hope of surviving in his heart, and regardless of the pain from his sprained foot, he moved in the direction of Wei Zeng.

Wei Zeng shouted, immediately turned over and dismounted, protected Han Taozi behind him, and blocked several deserters who were chasing.

"What an unknown person dares to stop us, and today I will let you know what the fate of meddling is." Seeing that Wei Zeng was alone, a deserter dared to show up to stop him, and immediately showed a fierce expression and swung a knife at Wei Zeng.

Wei Zeng wanted to repel them, and didn't want to have too much to do with these people, but these deserters had no fear, and if they didn't teach them a lesson, it would be difficult for them to stop.

Wei Zeng's face did not change at all when the deserter swung his sword, his body leaned to the side, and he raised his leg and kicked it, avoiding the steel knife at the same time, and beat the deserter to the ground, which was a clean and neat one.

When the other deserters saw their comrades being beaten, they wanted to rush up. But their leader, seeing that Wei Zeng was alone, dared to speak wildly, just one leg, and beat one of his subordinates to immobilize, with scruples in his heart, he waved his hand to stop the others, stepped forward and said:

"Who the hell are you? He dared to stop us. If you don't draw a path today, you don't want to leave here. A few of my brothers escaped from the barracks and are now working for themselves. We don't want to get into big trouble, but it's not something that nobodies can bully. ”

"Let me draw the way, and I'll draw the way for you. A few of you can leave safely by dropping the blades in your hands, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go. If you die without repentance, you must resist to the end, and I don't mind teaching you a lesson with my own hands. After Wei Zeng finished speaking, lifting the steel rod was a posture, and the majesty that had disappeared for several years reappeared.

"What a big breath, there are so many of us, you are only one, you are three heads and six arms, can you beat us? Isn't it just a woman? Let it be given to you, you don't have to make an inch. The head of the deserter has also seen some battlefield tiger generals, and when he saw the momentum emanating from Wei Zeng's body, he already knew that this person in front of him was not easy to deal with, and he didn't give in to Wei Zeng's words at all, and he already had the intention of retreating in his heart.

"I swore a few years ago that I would never kill again, but if you die without repentance, I can't let you go. Lay down your arms and turn to the right from now on, this is your last chance. Wei Zeng said unhurriedly.

"It's ridiculous, we were going to let you go, but you weren't going to let us go. Who is afraid of whom, if you really work hard, who will die in the end? Seeing that Wei Zeng was fearless, the head of the deserter was already very empty in his heart, and looked around, worried that Wei Zeng had other helpers ambushing on the side, but in front of his subordinates, he still couldn't let go.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and all the deserters were frightened. The shadows shrouded in the twilight, and it was impossible to distinguish the number of people, which only made these deserters, who were already weak-minded, even more panicked.

"Do you still want to escape? Put down your blades, and you can naturally leave, otherwise none of you will be able to escape. When Wei Zeng saw that these deserters heard the sound of horses' hooves, they panicked one by one, and immediately swung their staff forward to kill.

Wei Zeng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is difficult for many generals with strong martial arts skills to face him head-on for a few rounds, let alone these panicked deserters.

Wei Zeng knocked several iron-clad leaders to the ground with three or two blows, and then shouted, "Put down your weapons, you can leave!" Otherwise, there is only a dead end! ”

The other deserters were frightened that there was still so much to manage, so they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

When Wendi and Xinyu arrived, there was no sign of any deserters except for a few people who had fallen to the ground and groaned.

"Robbers again! It seems that you have already dealt with them, but how can you change this turbulent world by yourself? Wendy shook his head.

"I am alone, so naturally I can't change anything, but because I can't worry about my hometown fathers, I want to come back and see. How can I stand idly by when I see someone doing evil? Saving one person is one person, and it can be regarded as talking about the heart. Wei Zeng said.

"You saved this girl. I see she's hurt, and hey, it's true, it's dangerous for a woman to walk alone. Wen Di saw Han Taozi sitting on the ground, rubbing his ankles, so he took out the medicine and dismounted to heal him.

Han Taozi stared at Wei Zeng carefully, although it was a little unreal in the twilight, but this kind of temperament was definitely exactly the same as the person outside Suicheng a few years ago.

"You are General Wei Zengwei, then these two must be your wife and daughter. I knew you had found your wife and lived happily ever after. Han Taozi got up and said with a smile.

"You know me?" Wei Zeng said suspiciously.

"Does General Wei remember what happened outside of Suicheng a few years ago? You wanted to find your wife, but there was no way to enter the city, and in the end it was my father who brought you into Suicheng. Han Taozi said with a smile.

"It's you. Your name is Han Taozi, right? But you didn't stay in Suicheng with your father, why did you come here? Wei Zeng asked.

"I have been walking in the Central Plains for the past few years, just to find real knowledge. The hard work paid off, and I also met a lot of masters and learned a lot of things. But I still have some doubts that I want to find you. I heard that you appeared in Yishan, so I wanted to go to Yishan, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Han Taozi said.

"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? I haven't read anything, and I don't know any real knowledge, so I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. In my opinion, you should go back to Suicheng. Don't walk in this troubled world, you will encounter a lot of trouble as a woman. Wei Zengyi frowned and replied.

"The things in the book are all prefaces, and what is recorded is only the deeds of the predecessors and the perceptions of the predecessors. And a living person, right in front of me, why should I abandon a living person and study only in a pile of paper? Seeing General Wei repel those deserters just now was really extraordinary; I also remembered that General Wei dared to take risks alone in order to save his wife, and he was really a brave man in the world. I only wish I could follow the general and learn the true meaning of bravery. Han Taozi said.

"You want to stay with me? I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate. I've only met you twice, and even if you want to thank me for saving your life, you don't have to. The girl's words were really a little impulsive. Wei Zeng replied.

"I don't really have the impulse, I'm thinking it through. I just hope that General Wei can give me a chance. Han Taozi looked at Wei Zeng, and his words revealed a bit of sincerity and firmness.

"What are you hesitating about? With beauties by your side, aren't you happy to be happy? You're so majestic, you're so merry, why didn't I notice it before? Wen Di listened to Han Taozi's words, and he didn't feel good in his heart, but he didn't want to refute her directly, so he just waved his head and said to Wei Zeng.

"Wendy, you're mistaken. I don't really have anything to do with her. It's just a meeting in the water, how do I know she's going to be like this. Wei Zengyi frowned and replied a little anxiously.

Han Taozi listened to the conversation between Wen Di and Wei Zeng, and her face turned red, and she was embarrassed in her heart. Seeing that Wen Di seemed to be angry with Wei Zeng, Han Taozi understood that what he said just now was really inappropriate.

"The two of you misunderstood, I really wanted to study, and I didn't have any plans for men and women for a while. I also know that the Central Plains region has always attached great importance to the great defense of men and women, and my begging to follow General Wei like this will indeed cause misunderstanding. But I don't really have anything else in mind. I just came from Jiangnan, because I was too close to Mr. Fan Jiyi Fan, there were some rumors, and finally I had to leave Jiangnan and embark on the road of pursuit again. Han Taozi explained.

"Have you seen Fan Yuyi? How has he been? He is a somewhat infatuated person, and for the sake of a benevolent heart, he can completely abandon his own selfish interests. It's not bad, but he's in a high position, and it's always like this, I'm afraid he'll suffer. Wei Zeng heard Han Taozi mention Fan Yuyi, and he was a little concerned in his heart, so he asked.

"Mr. Fan has a benevolent heart, but he is also very clear about the complexity of personnel. Mr. Fan not only knows that concession is a blessing, but love is a virtue; I know more that blame is concern, and needlework is great love. Although Mr. Fan is very persistent in benevolence, he is not an incompetent and courageless coward. Han Taozi said.

"That's good. In this world, there are too many bad people and too few good people. It is also a blessing for Jiangnan people to have a person like Fan Yuyi who is dedicated to the public in charge of Jiangnan. Wei Zeng replied.

"You two are talking so hilarious. also said that it was just a meeting in Pingshui, who would believe it. If you want to keep her, just stay. I can't control you anyway. Wen Di saw that the two of them were very enthusiastic, and he felt very uncomfortable, and said negatively.

"Mrs. Wei misunderstood, with a beautiful wife like you, how could General Wei like me. What's more, your daughters are so old, you must be very affectionate. I'll just bless you well. Han Taozi saw that Wen Di was unhappy, so he said flatteringly.

"You're pretty sweet, but you're wrong. I'm not his wife, and Xinyu isn't his daughter. I walked the rivers and lakes with Xinyu, but I just happened to be on the way with him. I'm too lazy to take care of his business! Wen Di was angry in his heart, and went back directly, and then continued to move forward with Xinyu.

Xinyu grimaced at the two of them and followed Wen Di away.

"What's going on...... Am I saying the wrong thing? Han Taozi stood on the sidelines at a loss, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.

"These things are also very troublesome, and I can't explain them for a while. However, Wendi is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he is still very good. If you want to learn from me, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. However, there are also many learned people in our Yishan, my senior brother Chi Xuewen and Mr. Gu Ling, who has just arrived, have read a lot of books. When you get to Yishan, maybe you can talk to the two of them. Wei Zeng explained.

"Thank you, General Wei, for giving me a chance. It turns out that Mr. Gu Ling also arrived in Yishan, and it seems that I really didn't find the wrong person this time. Seeing that Wei Zeng had agreed, Han Taozi also relaxed in his heart and said with a smile.

"There is still a long way to go to Yishan, and the road is very dangerous, so you should be careful. If you are in trouble, you should avoid it in time, and leave it to me and Wendi. Wei Zeng admonished.

Han Taozi agreed, and went north with Wei Zeng.

All the way north, the land devastated by the war is desolate everywhere. Wei Zeng just watched all this quietly, and there didn't seem to be any waves on the outside. But it wasn't a clenched fist, and a little tear flashed in the corner of his eye, which told Wei Zeng's heart that it was not so calm.

"Now that you know what this place is like, why do you want to come back and see it? I, a native of Yaodong, couldn't stand the tragic situation of the war in the Central Plains. I also know that you, as a native of Yanbei, must be even more sad. But why did you want to come back? Han Taozi was puzzled.

"There's a difference between knowing what it's like and seeing it with your own eyes. I have been fighting for the world for more than ten years, and I have fought against many powerful enemies in order to protect this land. I thought that as long as I fought on the battlefield, as long as all threats were eliminated, this land would always be peaceful, and I would also have the last peace. But when I pulled out one enemy after another, I finally failed, I lost my dearest people, and my hometown, which I had always guarded, was surrounded by war. I'm not reconciled.

"I have been reluctant to face all this all these years, so I took a few thousand people who followed me and tried to establish a paradise in the depths of Yishan. All my efforts have not been in vain, and those who follow me no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and I think that in this way I can be satisfied. It wasn't until half a year ago that my old subordinates came to me and told me about their current situation that I knew that everything was not over, and that sooner or later I had to face it.

"I don't want to escape, I want to imprint everything I see in my heart and never forget it. All the sorrow and sadness are insignificant compared to those who are struggling in this poisonous world. I want to always look at the world clearly, and I want to know what I really think in my heart. Fate has abandoned me, but I don't want to abandon my heart's perseverance. Wei Zeng replied.

When Han Taozi heard Wei Zeng's words, she didn't know how to answer. What did fate make the man in front of him go through? Han Taozi couldn't imagine it; What did fate teach the man in front of him? She really couldn't know.

Maybe one day she'll know, and then maybe she won't have to pursue it anymore. (To be continued.) )
