Chapter 87: A ghost emerges
There was a puff of dust on a small road in Guanbei, and a horse was galloping past with a man, who was none other than Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng's face is now pale, obviously he hasn't been able to rest well for a few days, and the blood stains on his clothes show that he has fought fiercely with people. The javelin on Wei Zeng's back is long gone, and there are only three flying knives left on his waist, and the wooden shield is broken, and I don't know if it can withstand a few blows. Wei Zeng looked back at the pursuers in the distance and disappeared, so he left the path to find a place to rest.
Wei Zeng escaped from the dense forest from the Yushan bandits, and prepared to resupply some things in the nearby towns, and then pursued Weizhen and Qi Weilun. Just when Wei Zeng was about to ask a passing merchant to deliver a letter to Guiwucheng, a team of officers and soldiers rushed over.
As soon as the leading officer drew a portrait of a pair of wanted warrants, he commanded the sergeants to round up Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng didn't know the reason, but he was not a wait-and-greet person, so he rode his horse and rushed out. So in the past few days, Wei Zeng has been pursued by the official army, and from time to time there are people in Tsing Yi waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, so Wei Zeng has already guessed something.
Just when Wei Zeng came to a small forest and was about to rest in it for a while, he saw a figure flickering between the shadows of the trees on the ground. Wei Zeng was startled, and hurriedly urged the horse to gallop and bow his head to dodge. "Whoosh" two arrows shot at Wei Zeng's position just now.
Several Tsing Yi men came out of the trees and grass, all holding tripping ropes with the intention of intercepting Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng raised his shield to stop a few arrows, and the horse was about to break out of the encirclement. At this moment, two more men appeared, throwing the hook and lock, just in time to stop the leaping horses. Wei Zeng hurriedly jumped off the horse when it was stopped, and shot a man in Tsing Yi with a flying knife in his backhand.
Wei increased his shield and killed several people in Tsing Yi. The rest of the people no longer stepped forward to fight hard, and surrounded Wei Zeng with ropes, and bows and arrows in the distance.
Wei Zeng didn't have a good rest for a few days, where would he be so deadlocked with him, close to the horse, turn over and get on the horse to stay away.
"Where to run!" The two people who had thrown the hook lock at Wei Zeng earlier shouted and killed Wei Zeng. Previously, these two people were only commanding the Tsing Yi people, but now they saw that Wei Zeng was about to flee, so they took action in person.
One of them slashed at the front leg of Wei Zeng's horse with a simple knife. Wei Zeng hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse to make the horse's front legs leap up, and struck the opponent's Pu knife with a cane so that it could not strike again. The other man rushed to the side of the horse while Wei Zeng was protecting the horse and struck Wei Zeng with a hammer. Wei Zeng blocked with a shield, and the shield was broken into pieces at once, and he fell from the horse with a blow, but fortunately, there was a shield cushion and no injuries to his bones.
The man holding the Pu knife laughed loudly, and slashed straight at Wei Zeng with the knife in both hands. Wei Zeng rolled to the side to avoid the knife, turned over and stabbed the knife wielder in the chest. The knife-wielding man Pu Dao blocked the staff diagonally, but was also hit by Wei Zeng and took a few steps back. Wei Zeng's momentum continued to meet the hammer-wielding man who was killed, and he repelled it in several moves.
The people in Tsing Yi surrounded Wei Zeng and no one stepped forward to attack, and the two leaders separated Wei Zeng on both sides to make a defensive form, but they did not continue to attack.
"Wei Xiaoyou is really strong in martial arts, courageous, and can be so calm in a desperate situation, he is really a rare talent, and An admires him very much. I think that Xiaoyou and Lord Mojun must have a misunderstanding, so it is better to have An as a guarantee to resolve the grudge between the two parties. In the future, it would be good for the sect to have the help of Xiaoyou. The hammer bearer clenched his sore hands, rolled his eyes into a smile, and said.
"Do you think you'll be able to escape, we've been following you for days. You have been fighting hard for a few days, how long can you still hold on? Put down your weapons and surrender, the Demon Lord will be magnanimous and spare your life. Otherwise, I will make you a ghost under my sword today. Seeing that Wei Zeng was silent, the knife wielder threatened angrily.
Seeing that Wei Zeng didn't eat hard and soft, and just stood quietly in the center to recuperate, An Qinwei made a gesture to the left Qinwei and all the people in Tsing Yi, and they were about to attack him in groups.
Wei Zeng suddenly shot a flying knife at An Qinwei before everyone attacked, and killed the left Qinwei with a staff. Everyone thought that Wei Zeng was already a lamb to be slaughtered, and their hearts were relieved a lot, but they couldn't deal with it in time when Wei Zeng suddenly got into trouble, and Wei Zeng touched the horse. Wei Zeng finally escaped without the obstruction of An Zuo and the others.
An Zuo's two guards were annoyed in their hearts why they didn't kill the horses when Wei Zeng fell off their horses, so they had to command everyone to shoot arrows and chase them.
Although Wei Zeng escaped from the encirclement, the situation is not optimistic, and now he really can't use any strength, if he is caught up, there is really only a dead end. Wei Zeng was unwilling, how could he die here like this without knowing anything, especially at the hands of the Demon Sect. But what can be done, now the officers and soldiers of large and small towns are chasing and killing themselves, and the wilderness is full of demon cultists, and there is no place to hide.
Wei Zeng saw a mud puddle on the side of the road, and several reeds grew on the side. He gritted his teeth and drove the horse away, broke a reed pole and hid it in the mire.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Zeng had been crawling in the quagmire, his numb body gradually became conscious, and the lost strength recovered slightly. When night fell, there was no sound in the surrounding area except for the sound of insects. Wei Zeng felt safe and crawled out of the quagmire, taking a big breath of fresh air. The wounds on his body were indescribably more uncomfortable than soaking in muddy water, so Wei Zeng washed a little in a nearby puddle.
Although Wei Zeng's strength recovered slightly, his head was still groggy. Wei Zeng knew that it was not safe here, and if he slept like this, he was afraid that he would never wake up again, so he dragged his tired body and continued to hurry.
Not far away, I saw fires in the woods, and the sound of fighting. Wei Zeng hurriedly hid in the bushes by the roadside. I saw several demon cultists besieging a woman. The woman wielded a short spear and did not lose ground in the face of a siege of several people. Seeing that he could not win, one of the demon cultists broke away from the battle and whistled around.
Of course, Wei Zeng knew that this whistle was the way the Demon Cultists summoned their companions. Rushing out, while the whistle was not paying attention, he was beaten on the head with a cane, and the blood flowed.
"Miss Sa, these are the most heinous criminals, so you don't have to show mercy." Wei Zeng shouted at Sajiali, and as he spoke, he fought side by side with Sajiali.
Seeing that these people's martial arts were low, Sagari wanted to subdue them and teach them a good lesson. Hearing Wei Zeng's words, he didn't show mercy, and the short spear became the king of Hades, and it didn't take long for the demon cultists to flee in embarrassment.
"Miss Sa, why are you here?" Wei Zeng was a little surprised when he met Sagali here, and asked after repelling the demon cultists.
Sagaree looked at Wei Zeng's ragged clothes and the mud and blood stains all over her body, thinking of Wei Zeng's hard work in the past few days of escaping, and her heart was sad, so she looked at Wei Zeng for a while. Hearing Wei Zeng's question, he replied: "I heard from the people of the Wind Rush a few days ago that you were being hunted down by the imperial court, and I was worried that you rushed over. Thanks to the information provided by the people at the Bliquard, I was able to find this place. Wei Zeng, are you okay?"
"Miss Sa, thank you for your concern, I'm fine. I have a lot of questions now, and you should know a lot of news from Guiwu, but this is not the place to talk, so let's go to a safe place first and have a good conversation. Wei Zeng said.
Sagaree nodded and agreed to follow Wei Zeng out of this place. Wei Zeng's tired body came to a few large stones, where he could clearly see the surrounding situation and calmly escape in case of danger.
"Miss Sa hasn't seen you for half a month, are you okay? How's Chaichi's injury? Wei Zeng sat down with his back against the boulder, threw the steel rod aside and said.
"I'm okay, Gu Chayi's injury is almost healed, a few days ago, the Blaster Regiment was worried that something would happen to him and sent someone to send him out of Kanbei, and now he should go to Shifeng City. But Wei Zeng, are you really okay now? Sagarrie saw Wei Zeng's tired face by the moonlight, and asked rhetorically with a weak look on her body.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired from evading the pursuit of the official army and the demon cultists for several days. Miss Sa, do you know the reason why I am wanted by the imperial court? Wei Zeng asked.
"The Demon Sect has gained the trust of the imperial court in the past few years, and it has developed rapidly in recent years. Its commander Shui Qingliu has also become a popular person for local officials. You are wanted by the imperial court, and he is secretly playing tricks. Now the imperial court has regarded you as a traitor, saying that your arrival in Guanbei is a conspiracy to start a rebellion. You have repeatedly escaped from the pursuit of the official army these days, and the people have even spread you to a god. Some people say that you single-handedly defeated 3,000 officers and soldiers; What's more, you don't blink when you kill people, and you like to eat children. Sagaree was angry at first, but she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the rumors she heard casually.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost from the Demon Sect, this Shui Qingliu is still an old acquaintance, and one day this new hatred and old hatred will definitely be returned to him." Wei Zeng said angrily.
"Wei Zeng, you're too tired now, you better rest first. You can rest assured that nothing will happen to you with me. Sagaree said.
Wei Zeng was really tired, so he didn't excuse himself, he said "Okay" and fell asleep after closing his eyes.
Sa Jiali sat opposite Wei Zeng, looked at the sleeping Wei Zeng, and sighed secretly. The remorse for the destruction of the goddess temple has always haunted her, and she also remembers Wei Zeng's promise to take her to Yishan to live again; originally thought that she would only be with him in the future when she was in love with Wei Zeng, but Wen Di told her that if she wanted to know love, she had to be a free person first. But what is free, Sagaree doesn't understand. In the past, several elders of the Goddess Temple told her that it was her responsibility to protect the Goddess Temple, but although she promised with her words, she had always felt bound in her heart, but it was not until the night of Dejia City that she really understood the meaning of this responsibility; In the past, she thought that being honest and straightforward was freedom, but when she wanted to snatch Wei Zeng back to the Goddess Palace, Fenglian City witnessed several elders running away from the Yan family in blood, and in the end she could only watch the Goddess Hall fall weakly. Sagaret's heart was very confused, but her proud heart would not let her admit it, because admitting it was more painful than being confused. Going to Yishan to start a new life, then learning to live freely, and then being with Wei Zeng is the only thing Sagali has on her mind now. But is this really true? Will Wei Zeng accept her in the future? Why did Wendi suddenly leave for Jiangnan? Can the past really be completely forgotten? Sagaree is not stupid, she knows the answer, but she doesn't dare to think about it, and she doesn't want to think about it, so she doesn't think about it.
Sagali looked at Wei Zeng's sleeping face, and suddenly this face blurred, as if all this was far away from her and would never come back. Sagaree held back her tears, her nose was a little sore, her throat was a little wet, but everything was clear again.
"Coward! What are you afraid of! Now you have to go to Yishan first, and then learn to be a man in Yishan. I haven't completed the first step, what do you want to do so much? Sagari gritted her teeth and got up, and was sat on a stone by Xiang Wei Zeng, never looking back again.
The night was late, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. Some cool night breezes blow through, and people can't help but shiver. Sagarli was very firm in her heart, she believed Wei Zeng's words, because that was the first person she fell in love with, as for whether he loved her or not, Sajiali didn't think about it; She believes what Wendy says, because Wendy is her friend, although Wendy also loves it
