Since the Kyoshi Incident four years ago, the various martial arts sects in Kanbei have declined, and the Windrush Troupe and the Demon Sect have gained the trust of the imperial court and developed their power.

Since its establishment, the Storm Regiment has regarded itself as a vigilante group of the imperial court, and has vowed not to stand with other gangsters, Yushan bandits, and cultists. In the course of years of fighting, the Windrush expanded its power throughout Kantoku.

However, the successive leaders of the Blastwind Regiment had no ambitions, and their greatest wish was to be recognized by the imperial court, which was also the will of the first leader of the Blastwind Regiment. Therefore, he was tied down in the battle with the demon sect, and was forced to evacuate from Lu Ye City and Hebing City for a few years.

The Demon Sect has begun to restrain its behavior since the Commander of the Clear Stream. Shui Qingliu was good at dancing with long sleeves, and soon won the trust of the local magistrate.

Shui Qingliu also relied on the power of his sect to find out information and assist the officials and soldiers in eliminating the remnants of the Death Sect, so the local officials all relied on Shui Qingliu.

The Demon Sect brazenly developed its forces, and soon took control of the entire northern part of Kanbei. Shui Qingliu was also granted an official position by the imperial court, and he went in and out of the social field of dignitaries all the year round.

"Thanks to Consul Shui, Kanbei was able to maintain peace. Look at the current Kansai is a mess, the military government has been ransacked, and the castle has been occupied by the rebels for several years. Now that the power of the Death Sect has been almost eliminated by us, Guanbei is stable, and the officials of this place are stable. Chief Lu Yecheng said.

"Your Excellency is overrated. If it weren't for the fact that you were eclectic, I would still be afraid to farm at home; If it weren't for the open-mindedness of adults and the ability to listen to opinions, where would I be today. Adults have the grace of knowing me, and the water will definitely repay me with death. Hearing this, Shui Qingliu hurriedly got up and saluted, pretending to be grateful.

"The water consul does not have to be modest, and in the future, I will rely more on the water consul to ensure the peace of my Guanbei." Hearing this, Governor Lu Yecheng replied with a smile: "By the way, Consul Shui, I see that the Wind Regiments returning to Wucheng are also very loyal to the imperial court, so it is better for me to recommend them to the imperial court and let them play a greater role." I have also seen the leader of the Storm Regiment, Feng Zhuyuan, a man loyal to the imperial court. If there is one more person like the water consul in this Guanbei, it will be more stable. ”

"It's naturally good to have one more person who is loyal to the imperial court, and I think the Storm Regiment can also be used. But adults should be careful, the current situation is unstable, it is the time for the people to make trouble, and the yellow-clothed rebels and riots in various places are the best proof. After all, the Windrush is a gangster, mainly some unemployed vagrants, and if it doesn't sound good, it is the dregs of society. They can be used, but they have to be guarded against, and it would not be good if they really caused trouble. Shui Qingliu rolled his eyes and said so skillfully.

"What Consul Shui said is reasonable, those unemployed vagrants are indeed lawless sometimes, and I will definitely be cautious about this recommendation." Hearing this, Chief Lu Yecheng pondered carefully, nodded and said.

"Your Excellency still has official business to deal with, so I will leave first. I will definitely visit again when I have time. I heard that adults are quite insightful about appreciating calligraphy and paintings, and I don't know how much it is worth to get a new pair of calligraphy and paintings, so next time I will bring it and ask the adults to help appreciate one or two. Shui Qingliu saw a subordinate outside the door and was about to leave.

"Business is important, so the water consul will go back first. Appreciating calligraphy and painting still needs to be obtained. When Commander Lu Yecheng heard that he wanted to see calligraphy and painting, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

Shui Qingliu left the official office and said to the subordinates who came: "Didn't I instruct me not to disturb me when I visit the important members of the imperial court." Those important members of the court are bright on the surface, but dirty on the inside, and I am almost sick to death when dealing with them. One day, I will not spare any of them. Say, what the hell is going on? ”

"Enlightening the Devil...... Lord Shui, the people we sent to the vicinity of Wucheng were attacked by the Storm Regiment, and almost all of them were wiped out. The visitor replied.

"Death is death. The old ministry that has returned to life will definitely not be loyal to me. They used to know each other, and I didn't know how to treat them, but now I don't have to worry about them. Anything else? Shui Qingliu's face did not change color, and said lightly.

"That person named Wei Zeng came to Guanbei, and it was because of Wei Zeng that those people in Wucheng were attacked by the wind group." The person who came said.

"Wei Zeng......" Shui Qingliu said with a look in his eyes: "You tell everything you know to the two guards of An Zuo, pass on my words, at all costs, in short, I don't want to hear this name again in the future." It's annoying to have to visit a few more high-ranking officials, eh. ”

After Shui Qingliu finished speaking, he boarded the carriage and left. The people who came didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly informed Shui Qingliu's words to An Zuo's two personal guards.

Wei Zeng took Wei Zhen around the forest for almost ten days. Now Wei Zeng had to admit that he was lost. Wei Zeng's face was full of embarrassment and he didn't know what to say, so he only took Weizhen around to find directions. But the more anxious you are about some things, the more clueless you become, and you can't recall all the previous experiences in identifying directions. Weizhen just followed Wei Zeng quietly, she didn't seem to care about where she went, she just looked at Wei Zeng's anxious appearance, bowing her head and smiling from time to time.

"It's been cloudy these days, and I can't rely on the sun and stars to discern the direction. Don't worry, as long as the weather is clear, I will definitely be able to take you out. Wei Zeng explained to Weizhen.

"You don't have to rely on sunlight and stars to tell the way. The south side of the tree is more dense than the north side, and this mushroom only grows on the north side of the tree. Wei Zhen saw that Wei Zeng was too anxious and couldn't help but say.

"So you already know how to orient, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wei Zeng said embarrassedly.

"Brother Wei, you taught me these things, have you forgotten? I thought you could remember it just a little bit, but who knew that ten days would have passed. In fact, it's good to follow Brother Wei like this, no one bother, and I can eat the game that Brother Wei hunted, I feel so happy. Wei Zhen said with a smile.

"You're naughty. But you've been very well-behaved since you were a child, and it's good to see you like this. But when you see me making a fool of myself in the future, you must remind me in time, this is the duty of a wife. Otherwise, I will make a fool of myself in front of outsiders, and you will be ashamed. Wei Zeng pretended to be serious.

"Where are outsiders here, just the two of us, if you make a fool of yourself, no one can see it anyway." Wei Zhen said with a smile.

"If you don't behave, you will be punished if you don't behave, come here." Wei Zeng said and approached Weizhen.

"If I don't go, I won't." Yui Zhen said and stepped back, laughing and running away.

Wei Zeng also smiled, called Wei Zhen back, discerned the direction and continued to hurry. After walking for a while, he saw a few people picking in the woods, and Wei Zeng stepped forward to find out the way. However, after these people saw Wei Zeng, they showed a frightened look and hurriedly dodged. The panic of running alone tripped over him, struggling to get up but couldn't get up.

"The king spares my life, I am just a refugee fleeing the famine and have no money. I give you all I have, please spare me. Seeing Wei Zeng coming, this man hurriedly begged for mercy, put all the things on his body in front of Wei Zeng and kept kowtowing.

"Don't panic, fellow, I'm not a robber, I'm just a passerby. My wife and I got lost in this forest while we were on our way, and we just wanted to find out the way to Wucheng. Wei Zeng hurriedly helped him up and explained.

"So you're not a robber, so what's the scary thing you're doing with a weapon? I don't know what this place is, so I kept fleeing with everyone, eating all kinds of grass roots and bark in order to survive. If you want to ask for directions, you can ask Mr. Qi, he knows everything. Mr. Qi taught us to gather some food and find a way to treat people, otherwise we would have died a long time ago. Mr. Qi is a good person, but it's a pity that good people don't live long, Mr. Qi is seriously ill now, and he can't do it, alas. The man was relieved when he heard Wei Zeng's explanation, but his hands and feet were still trembling.

"Mr. Qi's name is Qi Weilun, dressed as a scholar, and he often travels around?" Wei Zeng listened to the man's incomprehensible reply, but still heard something, and heard Mr. Qi Wei Zeng think of Qi Weilun who met in the land of Xu Huai four years ago.

"Do you know Mr. Qi? That's right, Mr. Qi's name is Qi Weilun, hero, you must save Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi is a good person, don't you deserve to die. Mr. Qi is going to die, how should our big group of people live, there are robbers everywhere here, and the government won't help us, that's a big deal! When the man heard that Wei Zeng knew Qi Weilun, he begged him.

"Take me to see Mr. Qi quickly, my wife is a doctor who should be able to help Mr. Qi." When Wei Zeng heard this, he asked this person to take them to see Qi Weilun.

Hearing this, the man took Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen to a hidden place in the forest. There were about a few hundred people here, and when they saw Wei Zeng, they all showed frightened expressions, and hid aside and only peeked secretly.

When Wei Zhen arrived at Qi Weilun's place, he saw Qi Weilun lying in a small shed made of weeds and branches, with a haggard face. Wei Zhen treated Qi Weilun and prescribed a prescription for people to grab the medicine. The people in the shed looked dazed and at a loss when they saw this. Wei Zhenyi frowned and instructed how to take care of Qi Weilun, so he went to the forest to collect medicine by himself. Wei Zeng was worried that Wei Zhen was in danger, and told this person to take good care of Qi Weilun, and also went out with Wei Zhen.

That night, after drinking the medicine that Wei Zhen had picked and the broth made from the game that Wei Zeng had brought in, Qi Weilun came to his senses.

"Thank you two for helping Qi someone, if it weren't for the two of you helping Qi, I'm afraid I would have to bury my body here. Please also leave your names in the future, and you will definitely find a way to repay in the future. Qi Weiren said.

"Mr. Qi, what we have seen before is that when the Jingnan Army did evil four years ago, it was at the junction of Xu Huai and Yanbei. I am Li Weizhen, and this is my husband Wei Zeng. Wei Zhen saw that Qi Weilun woke up and knew that he was out of danger, as long as he recuperated for a few more days, he would be fine, so he said with a smile.

"It turned out to be two little friends, and my brain is not clear when I am sick. I was saved by you once four years ago, and I was saved again by you four years later, and I can't repay this kindness. Qi Weiren said with a sigh.

"Where is Mr., Brother Wei and I have always admired Mr. Gaoyi, and we admire Mr. Wang's worries about the people. I only hope that there will be more people like Mr. Qi in the world, and fewer careerists who only know how to fight for power and profit and ignore the people's livelihood and suffering. Wei Zhen said.

"I have no high righteousness, but I am just an incompetent scholar. If you had said it in my youth, I might have been complacent, but now it sounds like nothing more than utter mockery. Qi Weilun said quietly.

"Sir, don't be sad, this troubled world is not sir's fault. We can have a clear conscience when we do our best and help others within our means. By the way, sir, four years ago you said you were going to Yaodong, but why are you here now? Wei Zeng saw that Wei Zhen didn't know how to answer.

"What Xiaoyou said is that I have lived a lot of age and my knowledge is not as good as Xiaoyou, which is a shame. I originally traveled in Yaodong, and I longed for a peaceful life in Yaodong, so I stayed for more than two years. Taste the different customs of Yaodong and Middle-earth. It wasn't until a year ago that I arrived on the banks of the Heishui River and came to Kanbei by the way.

"I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Guanbei, I encountered the government's wanton search for the members of the Death Sect, and some people in Tsing Yi also harassed ordinary people everywhere. I just said a fair word at that time, and I was escorted to Lu Yecheng by the official army in the name of rebellion.

"On the way, I was attacked by the bandits of Yushan, and I was coerced by the robbers to Yushan to be a robber for a few months. A few days ago, I sneaked out while the guards were drunk, and I met this group of homeless refugees. When I saw that they were pitiful and almost starved to death, I taught them some of the knowledge I had learned from the book about wood-gathering and hunting, and they were finally able to live.

"It's just that I'm a scholar, and my body is very uncompromising, and I can't stand the humidity in the woods, so I'm sick, and if I don't meet two little friends, I'm going to bury my body here. But it's good to be dead, everything is empty when you're dead, and you want to be quiet. Qi Weilun said sadly.

Wei Zeng saw that Qi Weilun was unable to resolve the sadness in his heart, so he didn't say much, just let him cultivate quietly. Qi Weilun's body still needed a few days to recuperate, so Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen decided to wait for Qi Weilun's illness to heal before leaving.
