Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shield-Bearer

Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng did not flee immediately, but hid in a sheltered place with rocks, grass and trees, and there were officials and demons on the way back to the city; On the other hand, the Death Cultists also blocked it.

None of these people Wei Zeng was willing to face. Fortunately, there was no search of the mountains on all sides, there was cover of night, and no one paid attention to Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng's hiding place, after Liu Yi led people to attack the city, Wei Zeng took Feng Liansheng and quietly stayed away. Wei Zeng took one last look at the small city, and the Death Cult had already attacked the city gate.

Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng carefully avoided the officials and all suspicious people all the way, and finally arrived at the original mountain villa a few days later. But everything in front of him also made Wei Zeng frightened. The villa has long since been reduced to ruins, and its former prosperity is long gone.

Wei Zeng stayed overnight in a nearby farmer's house that night, and the farmer saw that Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng were both kind-faced people and took them in. Wei Zeng learned from the farmer's mouth that more than ten days ago, a group of black-clothed people killed the villa, and the guards of the villa couldn't resist it, and the people in the villa fled with death. The fire at the cottage burned for a whole day and a night before it was extinguished, and it burned like the sun at night. Later, several waves of people came to the villa, and when they saw the villa like this, they scattered away.

"Brother Wei, this villa is also ruined, and we can't find out the news, what should we do next?" Feng Liansheng said to Wei Zeng.

"I don't know what to do, I don't have any familiar friends in the rivers and lakes, and I can't ask anyone else for news. I originally wanted to do a few things this time, but now I know that there are only a few things left to apprentice. But now it's better to find Weizhen and Wendi first. Wei Zeng said.

"Brother Wei, I want to ask what the relationship between those two girls is with you, it seems that you are very attentive to them. I don't mean anything else, it's just that I'm just a little curious when I see these two people next to you. In particular, the woman named Wendi seemed to be very dissatisfied with me, and I didn't know what was wrong with me. Feng Liansheng asked Wei Zeng.

"I saved her more than three years ago, and I've been with her ever since, and I've always treated her like a sister. Wen Di is the daughter of my uncle, and she has traveled with my uncle since she was a child, and this time she came to Kansai to save Miss Feng with me. Although Miss Feng Wendi is a little arrogant, she is still very good, maybe she is not familiar with Miss Feng, so she is a little unkind. When I first met her, I also suffered a lot. Wei Zeng explained to Feng Liansheng.

"That sister is still good, since you treat her as a sister, I will treat her as a sister. But that Wendy girl was more than just unkind to me. I only got along with her for a while, and she targeted me everywhere, and it wasn't right to think about anything. You didn't have something to do with her, did you? Feng Liansheng asked a little suspiciously.

"Nothing happened to me and Wendy, but she gave me a purse." Wei Zeng said.

"Purse? Is that still saying that nothing happened? You must be lying to me, if you like her, you can go to her, you can leave me here, and let those cultists and squinted officers and soldiers bully me. Feng Liansheng became excited for a while, turned his head and pouted.

"There's really nothing, it's just this purse. Besides, we were going to find Wendy. How could I leave Miss Feng here, at least find a safe place. Wei Zeng said.

"Are you really going to leave me? I'm just talking, you don't really want to arrange me to return to Wucheng like Miss Wendi said, do you? Feng Liansheng was a little anxious when he heard this.

"Guiwucheng is also a good place, I have a good relationship with a few people in the Wind Rush, and several of them are not married, I think Miss Feng will not be bad when she comes to Guiwucheng." Wei Zeng said thoughtfully.

"You're really going to do this, and you've promised not to leave me. What are you laughing at? Okay, you're teasing me, I'm ignoring you. Feng Liansheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Zeng, knowing that Wei Zeng was joking, he turned his head and was about to ignore Wei Zeng, but when he saw the purse that Wen Di gave to Wei Zeng, he hid his face and said with a smile: "This is that purse, this embroidery is really interesting." ”

Wei Tian picked up his purse and said, "This Wen Di has never done needlework since he was a child, so don't laugh." I was joking just now, so naturally I won't leave Miss Feng alone. But Miss Feng has been working hard with me these days, she can't eat well, she can't sleep well, and her body has lost weight, which I can't bear in my heart. Originally, I had a donkey, but I lost it when I escaped, otherwise it would be good to travel for Miss Feng. ”

"As long as I am with you, I can endure the great suffering. I used to have a good life, but I never met a real person; Although I didn't suffer physically when I was captured by the Death Sect, I don't want to live that kind of life of not being free, being guarded against, and being hostile to others. Brother Wei, as long as you treat me sincerely, I am not afraid of these flesh and skin suffering. Speaking of livestock, I still have a pearl hairpin here, you can take it to see if you can exchange it. Feng Liansheng said as he took off the bead hairpin tied with hair on his head and handed it to Wei Zeng.

"I, Wei Zeng, am a poor boy, and I can't even buy a horse for Miss Feng, I'm really ashamed. I will definitely treat Miss Feng well in the future, and I will definitely not let Miss Feng suffer any grievances. Wei Zeng took the pearl hairpin and said.

"Brother Wei, you don't have to be like this, you can get a lot of money in this world, and your sincerity is priceless. By the way, you said just now that you were going to Kanbei, so it's time to take the time to go to Kanbei. Feng Liansheng looked at Wei Zeng and said.

"Miss Feng has anything to do in Guanbei? Wei Zeng will do his best to do it for Miss Feng. Wei Zeng said.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, you'll know then." Feng Liansheng pretended to be mysterious and said: "And you don't want Miss Feng in the future, Miss Feng's call is too raw." My family called me Li'er at the beginning, and Brother Wei can also call me that. ”

Feng Xiao...... Li'er, you can rest well today, I'll go back first. Tomorrow, let's go to the provincial capital of Kansai to stay together, where there are more people and it is easy to find out the news. Wei Zeng finished speaking and left.

"Wendy, hmph, it's really troublesome to think about. Even if Brother Wei has no intention of her, he can't stand the long-term affection. Looks like we're going to have to find a way. Why don't I embroider a purse first? Feng Liansheng muttered to himself after Wei Zeng left.

On the second day, Wei Zeng wanted to buy livestock at a nearby farmer's house, but he couldn't buy it, so he had to take Feng Liansheng and leave first, and wait until he arrived in a larger town to make plans.

Along the way, the weather turned cold, and the wind gusted, Wei Zeng took off his coat to protect Feng Liansheng from the cold. When Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng walked along a path, there was a cry of "Woo, woo", and then a donkey ran towards Wei Zeng.

I saw that the donkey was wearing a big red flower made of red tassels on his head, and a golden bell hung around his neck, which jingled as the donkey shook every step. On the donkey's back, under the saddle is a large red cloth, and the saddle and red cloth are embroidered with exquisite pine, bamboo, and plum orchids. The donkey's fur is also combed very smoothly and shiny in the daylight.

The donkey ran to Wei Zeng, and was very affectionate to Wei Zeng, and kept rubbing his head against Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng looked carefully, wasn't this the little gray donkey he lost more than ten days ago? It seems that the donkey still depends on clothing.

"Ash, Ash, don't run so fast, you wait for me." A young girl ran from the front.

This girl has good facial features, a ruddy complexion, and a medium build. He wore a short yellow coat, a green belt around his waist, a short-handled battle axe pinned to his waist, and a wooden shield and a bag of throwing spears on his back, which were painted with oil paint and delicate patterns.

"You know Ash? You won't be Ash's master, will you? The girl chased after her and said to Wei Zeng out of breath.

"This donkey is really the one I lost a few days ago, and I really can't recognize it if I don't look closely." Wei Zeng replied.

"Ash, you've found your master, it looks like we're going to separate." The girl reluctantly stroked the body of the gray donkey and said, seeing that Wei Zeng was also carrying a shield, she asked: "You are also a shield, I don't know which master's disciple you are." If it's close, I'll go to see Ash a lot. ”

"I haven't actually apprenticed to a teacher, and this time I'm looking for a teacher to learn the arts. If the girl likes this donkey, it would be better to ......."

"You didn't apprentice! Still looking for a master! The girl's eyes were excited when she heard this, and she circled around Wei Zeng to observe carefully.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Wei Zeng asked puzzled.

"En, little brother, I see that you have a strange skeleton, and you are a wizard who practices martial arts. I'm here, no, my master has a set of peerless martial arts, and I seem to be very suitable for my little brother to cultivate. The little brother will be a generation of heroes in the future, how about it, are you interested in worshipping me under the Xishan Gate. The girl pretended to be serious and said to Wei Zeng.

"Girl, this ......" Wei Zeng smiled bitterly in his heart, as if he had met a charlatan, or the kind with a relatively low level.

"I'm not done yet, you wait a minute. In the past three hundred years, there have been countless martial arts masters in my Xishan Sect. If the little brother wants to become famous, he can't miss this opportunity. And, what else, right. This can also make money by joining our Xishan faction, and after learning martial arts, you can just walk around, how can I forget, anyway, I can make a lot of money. I don't think my little brother is rich, so he made a fortune in one fell swoop. Also, I think the little brother is also a person with a great sense of justice, so it is better to learn peerless martial arts and do chivalrous deeds to eliminate harm for the people. When I think about it, my fame, my wealth, and my anger are all together. Okay, I'm done, how do you get excited? The girl didn't care about Wei Zeng's reaction at all, her eyes went up and she finished her words as if she were recalling.

"Girl, I want to find a teacher, but the real skills I want to learn are not for any fame, talent, or anger." Wei Zeng said with a dry smile.

"I didn't listen to me when I saw it, didn't I say it, it's only after learning peerless martial arts that you can do. If you want to learn real skills, can you just join my Xishan faction? What kind of eyes are you, do you think I lied to you? I told you that these words were taught to me by the master, and the master never lied to me. If you still don't believe me, then you see if I have real skills. Why don't we try two tricks. Seeing that Wei Zeng didn't believe it, the girl hurriedly said.

"I really don't see that. If the girl likes this donkey, I'll give it to you. Wei Zeng said with a wry smile.

"Don't believe that I really didn't lie to you, see the real trick under your hands. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. As she spoke, the girl took off her shield and held the axe as a defensive form.

Seeing this, Wei Zeng had no choice but to raise his shield and hold his staff. The girl's left hand struck with a shield, and Wei Zeng also met with a shield attack. Wei Zeng didn't take it too seriously, the two shields exchanged blows, only to feel a force coming. Wei Zeng couldn't stand on his feet for a while, and was forced to take a few steps back.

The girl took advantage of the situation and slashed with an axe. Wei Zeng got serious, raised his shield to block, and stabbed straight with his steel staff. The girl struck Wei Zeng's shield with an axe, quickly returned the axe, and blocked the forward attack with the side shield. Wei Zeng hit the girl's shield with a cane, only to feel that the steel cane was deflected, and then the opponent's shield hit his right side. Wei Zeng only felt dizzy, and when Wei Zeng came back to his senses, the girl's axe had already hit Wei Zeng's neck.

"How about my kung fu is okay, let me tell you that my master's martial arts are ten times higher than mine, and it is absolutely right that you want to learn real skills and join my Xishan faction." The girl said that she would axe and said to Wei Zeng.

Although Wei Zeng was defeated by a light enemy, he knew that this girl did have real skills after a few moves, and he only managed to deal with it seriously.

I think that the Xishan faction where this girl is located also uses a shield, and it is with her own martial arts. Anyway, I don't have the goal of apprenticeship.,It's better to go with the girl to try your luck.,The girl's master may be a master.。

"The girl's martial arts are indeed good, if the martial arts of the master are even stronger, it is also an honor to bow down to your faction. I also asked the girl to lead the way and introduce me to the commander. Wei Zeng said.

"You agreed, it's great that I can go back to the master's door, and we don't have to be separated. My division gate is on the West Mountain near Heshu Castle. Hey, there's a beautiful sister here. Eun, this sister, I look at your bones ...... surprise"

"Sister, I'm with him, and I'll naturally go when he goes. By the way, I don't know my sister's name? Feng Liansheng said with a smile.

"My name is Wu Linzi. Sister, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than Little Gray. ”
