Chapter Ninety-Five: Qi Weiren's Decision

Qi Weilun hadn't said a word since he left Stone Wind City. Wei Zeng asked him what was going on, and Qi Weilun didn't say much. Wei Zeng took out a handful of the bags of grain and put it in his hand to look at it, frowned and didn't ask any more.

Gu Chayi greeted Qi Weilun very warmly, but saw that the other party ignored him. Gu Cha secretly said a strange man, and then he didn't pay attention to it.

"Wei Zeng, this Mr. Qi has not seen him for a few years, but it is getting more and more strange. It turned out to be just a little stupid, but now I don't even say anything. Isn't it because he reads too much and his brain is broken? Gu Cha sat on a stone and said to Wei Zeng while repairing the broken spear and bow.

"Mr. Qi was fine before he entered the city. It's just that something was wrong when I first entered the city, and I don't know why I don't say a word now. Maybe I'm angry in the city. Readers are different from us, they like to hold everything in their hearts, they all love to sulk, and they may be fine after a while. Wei Zeng said.

"But although our Mr. Qi is a little strange, he is still very kind. It's okay to get food from those squires. Those iron roosters are never a hair, and to get them to do something is like killing them. Gu Chayi said.

"We finally have food here, and we should be able to survive a few days. But the thousands of people outside the city couldn't make it through. Stone Wind City won't help them, and they've been blocked by the Power Sect for so long, I'm afraid they don't even have the strength to flee elsewhere now. Wei Zeng said.

Qi Weilun seemed to hear Wei Zeng's words, his body shook slightly, his closed eyes fought, he looked up at Wei Zeng, hesitated a little and said to Wei Zeng: "Wei Xiaoyou, come over and I have something to tell you." ”

Wei Zeng heard Qi Weilun's voice and didn't know why he called himself, so he turned around and walked to his side and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Qi has to teach the kid?" ”

"I'm just a down-and-out scholar, how can there be any gentleman, what a boy. I see that you are also a man of loyalty, and if you do not dislike it, we will henceforth be called brothers. I am useless as a scholar, and I don't want to be a useless scholar anymore. Qi Weilun said and raised his hand to invite Wei Zeng to sit down.

"If Mr. doesn't dislike me for being an uneducated martial artist, I naturally have nothing to do." Wei Zeng sat next to Qi Weilun and said.

"I'm a few years older than you, so I'm not welcome to be a big brother. Although the virtuous brother is young, it seems that he has experienced a lot of things, and this stability is rare among young people. There are some things that my brother doesn't understand, and I want to ask my brother about it. Qi Weiren said.

"I wonder what the eldest brother wants to ask? Is there anything you don't understand with the knowledge of the eldest brother? Wei Zeng was not pretentious, and directly called Qi Weilun the eldest brother and asked.

"There's so much I don't understand. I ask you, is what the man in yellow said in the daytime true? The harsh government of the imperial court is really unbearable, and the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city really have no way to live? Qi Weilun said with some excitement.

"I don't understand the general trend of the world. All I know is that Yishan, where I am located, has always been an inaccessible place. Since the camp was established three years ago, there were only a few hundred people, but now thousands have defected there. Mobei was originally a bitter cold place, except for some foot merchants, there were not too many Central Plains people to go anywhere. But in recent years, there have been a large number of ringing horses, and nine out of ten of them are Central Plains people who fled to Mobei. Many more went to the tribes of the Janturians to do hard labor, working as odd laborers just to survive. Zhongyuan was originally a land of abundance, and I don't know why so many people would leave the land of wealth and go to Mobei, which is not suitable for human survival. Wei Zeng didn't answer Qi Weilun directly, but just told some of what Mobei had seen and heard.

And so it was! And so it was! Do you think there is still a way out of the city for the refugees? Qi Weilun asked.

"There is little hope. It was already hard for them to escape here. If they go elsewhere without receiving relief, there may be a way out. But these people have been blocked by the Power Sect for so many days, and there will definitely be no surplus food, and they will definitely not have the strength to escape anymore. If you look at their gazes, it's already desperate. Unless Stone Wind City can open a warehouse to release grain, they will only have a dead end. Wei Zeng said with some sadness.

"Open the warehouse and release the grain! They only have themselves, where would they do that. Qi Weilun remembered the faces of those high-ranking officials and squires, and he punched the ground in anger.

"Originally, those Power Cultists had bought a gang of thugs in the city, and they had gathered so many refugees outside the city, planning to attack Stone Wind City together. But they have always only chased power, and regarded the victims as tools to bring chaos to the world. I'm afraid that even if Stone Wind City is captured at that time, these refugees will suffer heavy casualties. But some people do survive. My man and I were seriously injured in a fight with the people they were in charge of in the city, and without answer, the people outside the city alone would not be able to attack Shifeng City, so they left now. Wei Zeng continued.

"Brother Xian is also from Yanbei, don't you want to save these people?" Qi Weilun said suddenly.

"After all, they are compatriots, so naturally I want to save them. But I'm not the kind of person who has eyes and hands to the sky, so what can I do on my own? Wei Zeng sighed.

"In my opinion, maybe only by taking Stone Wind City and opening the warehouse can we save these victims." Qi Weilun heard Wei Zeng's words and groaned.

"But the city of Stone Wind City is high and deep, and it is heavily guarded, so how can we capture Stone Wind City with us and these hungry and cold victims?" Wei Zeng said.

"The city is high and the pool is deep, and where is the enemy beyond the hearts of the people. In my opinion, those high cities are nothing more than flat land, and those sergeants are no more than chickens and dogs. I only ask Brother Xian, do you dare to make a Bo for the sake of these Yanbei people. Qi Weilun made up his mind and said to Wei Zeng.

"If he can save them, Wei Zeng will naturally not care about his own life and death. Just ask the eldest brother to say what to do. Wei Zeng said angrily.

"There is no thunderbolt, no bodhisattva's heart. Well, for the sake of these tens of thousands of lives, I have no choice but to use some conspiracies today. Anyway, I don't want to be a useless reader anymore. Brother Xian, as you know, I also have some friendship with some powerful people in this Stone Wind City. Now that the hungry people outside the city are on the verge of death, they will be able to respond if someone rises first. What is missing now is just an internal response. Tomorrow you will go with me to the city gates, try to kill the city guards, win the city gates, and let us scatter the hungry people everywhere, and wait for the signal to rise. The momentum of tens of thousands of people is definitely not small. Shifeng City is no more than 3,000 city defense troops at most, and the armory is also not far from the south gate, so if we occupy the armory, we will definitely be able to fight against the city defense army. Qi Weilun said.

"Okay, just listen to the eldest brother, I'll arrange to go now. Tomorrow, whether it succeeds or not, I will advance and retreat with my eldest brother. Wei Zeng listened to Qi Weilun's arrangement and said with some excitement.

Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun gathered a group of people together and told them their decision. Originally, there were four or five hundred of them, but now there are only about two hundred left for various reasons. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are more than 100 people who can fight.

"As you have seen, now that the victims of the disaster in Stone Wind City are gathered, the imperial court not only does not show compassion for the victims and provides relief, but treats human life as if it were a mustard. We came all the way from Kanbei, and everyone knows the hardships in their hearts. I can tell you that there are still more than a thousand miles to go to Yishan, and we can't reach it with this little food alone. Anyway, sooner or later, it will be a dead end, it is better to take advantage of the current crowd to capture Shifeng City and open the granary, so that everyone can live. If you don't want to participate, you can leave immediately, and if you are willing to participate, I, Wei Zeng, will be my own brother in the future. Wei Zeng said to everyone.

"You can say what Wei Zeng wants to do. I, Gucha, am the first to support you. Gu Chayi said first.

"If it weren't for you, Mr. Qi and Mrs. Wei would have died a long time ago, and we are all at your dispatch now."

"At the beginning, Wei Daxia alone could defeat more than 100 bandits, with Wei Daxia leading, what is a mere Shifeng City? We've got your back. ”

"When I capture Shifeng City, I must have a big meal, I'm hungry these days." Everyone has already regarded Wei Zeng as the backbone, and hearing Wei Zeng say this, there is no way to be peaceful.

"Okay, since everyone can afford me, then let me arrange. Zhen'er and Miss Sa, you leave here with the old and weak women and children, and the others come with me. Tomorrow I will cook the rest of the food, and everyone will be full and full of food and drink to do a big thing with me. Wei Zeng said.

"Husband, you have to be careful tomorrow." Wei Zhen knew that Wei Zeng would take everyone to fight hard tomorrow, and his martial arts might become a drag if he went, so he obeyed Wei Zeng's arrangement.

"Wei Zeng, my martial arts are not bad, I will go with you tomorrow." Sagali said when she heard Wei Zeng exclude herself.

"Miss Sa will be very dangerous tomorrow, it's better for you to be with Zhen'er and them." Wei Zeng said with some embarrassment.

"Don't forget, we're already friends, and friends deserve to live and die together. Besides, my martial arts are definitely stronger than theirs, they can go, and so can I. Sagaree said, pointing to the other men.

"In that case, you should be careful tomorrow." When Wei Zeng heard this, he had to agree to Sajiali to follow.

As soon as Gu Cha saw that Sagari pointed at him, he wanted to refute it, but he thought that women with good martial arts were not easy to mess with, so he didn't say anything.

Yan Xiuxiu pestered Gu Chayi and wanted to follow, but Gu Chayi resolutely refused to allow it. Yan Xiuxiu had no choice but to stomp her feet and leave with Weizhen and them.

That night, Wei Zeng led a hundred people to cut down a lot of long wooden sticks in the woods and cut them into wooden guns for tomorrow's work. More than 100 people sat in the woods, nervous and excited, and some people whispered from time to time. On the whole, they are still very convinced of Wei Zeng, and they are relatively optimistic about the future. There are also some people who recognize the reality more clearly, and whether they know whether they can survive depends on tomorrow's move, these people don't have much to say, just quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Wei Zeng looked at the pensive Qi Weilun and the somewhat excited Gu Chayi, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for tomorrow to fight to the death.
