Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Turmoil in the Town

Wei Zeng learned from Xu Diaoling that a bounty hunter had recently found the trace of the Son of Death in Guanxi, so he released it through the information channel unique to bounty hunters, and under the call of several bounty hunter leaders, the scattered bounty hunters were gathering in Kansai.

In the past few years, there have been several large-scale roundups like this, and at first these casual bounty hunters were really not used to it, and many people did not gather as required when they got the news, but just rushed to hunt for themselves, and suffered huge losses.

As a result, many people have formed a large team to act together for safety reasons, and some people have formed a large team to act together in order to avenge the grudges they have formed in the past. As the number of encounters grew, the grudge between the bounty hunter and the Death cultists grew, and the scale of the confrontation grew, but they still failed to kill the Son of Death.

After the defeat of Lu Ye City last time, several bounty hunter leaders themselves gave a lot of money as a bounty for killing the Son of Death, so many marginal scattered people and unwilling teams also joined in. It can be said that this hunt for the Son of Death can be the largest in scale, and the number of people has already reached thousands.

Xu Diaoling's team once participated in a round-up, but they only went around in vain and didn't even see a figure. At that time, Xu Diaoling saw that many people who had fought with the Death Cultists had suffered heavy losses, so he no longer cared, and he used excuses to excuse himself after receiving the news of the round-up several times. But the bounty this time is too tempting, and Kansai is not too far from Anyun, so it is impossible to say if you don't go. So Xu Diaoling's team began to gather in Kansai a few days ago.

Xu Diaoling heard that Wei Zeng knew Liu Hexin and was very enthusiastic with Wen Di, and he was no longer vigilant. Wei Zenghe was chatting and searching for useful information and making plans. Xu Diaoling was also very polite to Wen Di, but Wen Di didn't buy his account, and looked like he didn't like to answer. But Xu Diaoling didn't mind still smiling and expressing her gratitude.

"Miss Liu, I know that Senior Liu and you are both sword makers, so I specially purchased a sword at a high price, and I will offer it to you when I meet you to express my gratitude. Now that I meet you, please accept this sword, and it is good to use it in normal times. Xu Diaoling asked someone to bring a wooden box, opened it and showed a very exquisite sword, and said to Wen Di.

"Flashy, ornamental with a sword. It's beautiful, but it's not necessarily easy to use. The material is good steel, and the craftsmanship is also good and beautiful, but this blade has not been used at a glance, and what is there to carve so many patterns, will the enemy be dazzled when he sees it? I'm going to walk the rivers and lakes, but I don't have time to maintain it, so you might as well take it back. Wendy picked up the sword, looked at it a few times, and then retracted it into its scabbard and threw it back into the box.

"This sword is still good, I have seen it with my own eyes. I can show you that. Xu Diaoling was a little unwilling, pulled out his sword and slashed at a steel knife, and cut the steel knife into two at once.

Wen Di pulled out the ancient long sword when he saw it, only to see Qing Feng flash and slash at Xu Diaoling's sword. The two swords intersected, and Wendi's sword was unharmed, and the sword was bent at the waist in one fell swoop. Wendi inserted his sword back and continued to drink and eat himself, without a word of explanation.

Xu Diaoling looked at the broken sword in his hand and grinned a few times, his heart hurt, this was something he spent a lot of money to buy, and he had always been reluctant to use it, and now it has become scrap metal all of a sudden. But he immediately returned to normalcy and threw the broken sword back into the box, and said to Wen Di: "It turns out that Miss Liu has her own sword, and I really made a fool of myself when I took out this sword." I will definitely find a more suitable gift to express my gratitude in the future. ”

"I don't have to give gifts, my dad won't accept them. I don't need any gifts. My dad said you should not ask for anything in return. My dad also said that there is nothing more precious in this world than sincerity. Wendy responded.

"This thanksgiving with things is indeed a clichΓ©, and this sword is broken. Senior Liu is high-minded, Miss Liu is not bad, it is really inappropriate to thank the two of you with this mortal thing, this sword is broken, and I have been taught below. Xu Diaoling heard Wen Di's words, and said respectfully.

Wendi didn't know what this person had been taught, but he didn't bother to ask anything, so he just nodded and responded.

After eating, everyone formed a group and was about to rush together, when the previous team of iron-blooded soldiers chased back, along with more than a dozen Tsing Yi warriors. A man in Tsing Yi pointed at Wei Zeng and the three of them, and said to the leading officer: "It's just a few of them." ”

The leading officer looked at the three of them and saw that they were the same three people he had seen earlier, and he felt angry when he thought that he had been tricked by them before. I thought that the little girl's martial arts just now were really powerful, but I couldn't let her get close. He commanded his men and horses to surround the bounty hunter and Wei Zeng, but he hid behind the team and did not move forward.

"Is there any misunderstanding on the part of the military master, we are a bounty hunter group recognized by the imperial court, this is a document issued by the imperial court, please take a closer look at the military master." Seeing that the iron-blooded army was surrounding, Xu Diaoling hurriedly stepped forward and said, and took out a document with the seal of the state capital on it.

The officer was really reluctant to come forward, so he asked someone to hand over the paperwork, and after careful examination, he found that there was no problem. So he pointed to Wei Zeng and the three of them and said, "Are they with you?" ”

"Of course we are together, but these ladies were unwell before, so I sent this brother to escort them slowly." Xu Diaoling also heard Wei Zeng tell him what happened before, and hurriedly lied.

"You're not mistaken, are there more than a dozen of them?" The officer said to a man in Tsing Yi.

Previously, in order to explain the tragedy of the small shop, this person said that Wei Zeng and the three people were more than a dozen. Now with Wei Zeng are bounty hunters approved by the imperial court, and it is unclear to say that they are a chaotic party. This man was also sweating in a hurry, but he didn't know how to answer.

"It must be our brother who begs for thieves, and when he saw more than a dozen samurai from afar, he might be wrong at a glance. These are bounty hunters, and they have nothing to do with the rebels. "Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Commander Wang originally wanted to catch up and kill Wei Zeng and the three directly, and there was no danger of leaking.

But now that the bounty hunter is involved, if he is caught, he will definitely have to ask about it, and if he leaks his news, it will be unfavorable to the sect. So Commander Wang planned to let Wei Zeng and his party go first, and then make plans later.

"That's right, I was in a hurry and admitted my mistake. When I got closer, I took a closer look at where the chaotic party was just now, and I really admitted that I was wrong. The man in Tsing Yi hurriedly said when he saw Elder Wang's signal.

"Damn, it's a false alarm." When the officer heard that the alarm had been lifted, he walked up to everyone with a big grin, and saw Wen Di take two steps back, and said to Xu Diaoling: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you can leave if it's okay." If the official wants to continue to arrest the rebels, he will not accompany him. ”

Looking at Wei Zeng's people who had already gone away, a man in Tsing Yi said to Commander Wang: "Will the Commander just let them go?" ”

"Now we can't rely on the strength of the official army, and the other side has added more people. You have also seen the fate of the Qian Commander, and we will not do this loss-making business. Leave them alone, we have more important things to do now, and we can't afford to risk it. Do a good job of the things that the water guards have explained, and everyone will get no less rewards, let's go. Then the king took the people and went away. As for the officer, he is still arresting the rebels under the leadership of the Tsing Yi people.

Not far from the town, Wei Zhen said to Wei Zeng: "Brother Wei, those people in Tsing Yi who are with the Iron Blood Army are very similar to the demon cultists who attacked us today. Isn't the imperial court hostile to the cultists, then how can they act together. ”

"I've noticed that, too. I've once seen a demonic guard who makes people look like a well-known scribe, and it's hard to spot anything wrong with him even after a long time with him. But this man is scheming, and he does evil without leaving a trace, and until his true colors are finally revealed, no one will think that he planned and carried out that series of tricks.

Perhaps there are not a few such figures in the upper echelons of the Demon Sect. Perhaps one such person deceived the trust of the imperial court, making the imperial court believe that the demon sect was a loyal supporter of the dynasty, and gave the demon sect the convenience of its actions. The current court is very dark, and it is not impossible to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Wei Zeng had actually noticed this phenomenon a long time ago, and he had made up his mind about it and explained it to Weizhen.

"The demon sect is notorious among the people, and who in Guanbei doesn't know that the demon sect does a lot of evil, and the imperial court really hasn't heard of it? If you let it do evil like this, how many people will suffer again. Wei Zhen said.

"What the people below know, the people above may not know, but the decision-making power is in the hands of the higher-ups. Even if the imperial court heard about the reputation of the Demon Sect? There are too many true and false in this world, and it has long been dazzling. Many times people are willing to believe in their own eyes, in their ears, and think that only what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears is truly infallible. But what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears may not be deliberately displayed by others. I didn't know that I was deceived, and I didn't recognize the reality until I was dead and my family was broken, and it was too late to regret it, wouldn't it be sad. Wei Zeng thought of what happened to the Feng family in Lu Yecheng and said with emotion.

"That's what Brother Wei said. But I think as long as I'm not confused, I can definitely detect some clues. Those who are deceived must be lost first before being taken advantage of, and if they can always be sober, they will always notice that something is wrong and take precautions. Wei Zhen said.

"Today's court can not be called nothing but confused, and today's emperor is so happy that he is not sober. This is true of the whole dynasty, and what can we do! Wei Zeng said.

"What are you two talking about? What is right and wrong, how can it be so troublesome if it is true or false. If yes, do it, and if not, don't do it. The real will always be true, and even if the fake is very much like the real one, it is also false.

How dark is the court, what about the sinister hearts of the world, my fate is in my hands, and I will not hand it over to others and let others call the shots. If you don't find out about the evil, if you don't find it, you will cut it with the sword, and how can the evil deceive others. What's more, the world has its own public opinion, and the dimness of the superior does not mean that there is no light in the world. Even if the world is dark, my heart is clear. Wen Di said when he heard Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen talking.

When Wei Zeng and Weizhen heard Wen Di's remarks, they also looked at her in surprise. Wei Zeng replied to Wen Di: "Yes, you can't control others, can't you control your own heart?" My heart is clear, my sword is in my hand, and I have nothing to fear when I walk in the world. ”

"Sister Liu said it so well. It's true, and it's false. Even though there are thousands of illusions, nothing has changed. Wei Zhen also responded.

"Hee-hee, in fact, this is what I heard my dad say, although there are many I don't understand, but it's always right to write it down." Wen Di said a little embarrassed when he saw Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen like this.

"Senior Liu has far-reaching knowledge, and it is not easy for Miss Liu to have such a tutor. Xu was also taught when he heard this. Xu Diaoling said so, but the second half of the sentence did not say: If you are more kind and polite, then there is really nothing to say. Oh, my sword!
