Chapter 22 on the Yushan Road
It was the height of summer, and the weather was a little hot, and the three of them were very tired all the way, but the three of them were all people who had suffered, and the pain was nothing. The three of them walked without carriages and horses, and did not follow the caravan, in order to make it easier to walk. For two days, the three of them slept in the wilderness, but fortunately the weather was fine for a few days, and they did not encounter wild beasts or robbers. Just today, the verdant Yu Mountain is in front of you.
Three years ago, Wei Zeng took Weizhen all the way to Guiwu cautiously, and three years later, he wanted to take Weizhen back to Yanbei through Yushan. Now Wei Zeng is not afraid of those robbers, as long as he is careful not to be surrounded, even if he can't beat them, it is still no problem to escape. But for the sake of safety and unnecessary trouble, Wei Zeng still chose to be careful.
Although Gu Chayi has also been escorted with the caravan for three years, he has not yet left Guanbei. Now seeing the lush Yushan Mountain, thinking of the dangerous Yushan Mountain Road, Gu Cha was excited in his heart, and he started the dream of killing thieves and showing off his merits.
Wei Zhen was much calmer, and it was very relaxed along the way, and when he saw some wild flowers on the side of the road, he picked the herbs, and made a wreath for Wei Zeng to shade him. As long as Wei Zhen was by Wei Zeng's side, he didn't seem to know what he was afraid of, and he didn't have any worries about entering Yu Mountain.
The three of them walked on the Yushan Road, Wei Zeng was very vigilant, and often looked around to make sure that there were no robbers and beasts. When he came across corners and hidden places, he threw stones and asked for directions, and he did not encounter danger for several days.
On this day, the three of them crossed another small slope and were about to walk forward, when they heard the sound of shouting and killing and the exchange of weapons in front of them. Wei Zeng warned the three of them to hide in a hidden place and quietly move forward to find out what accidents were ahead. Wei Zengfu saw a group of robbers of more than 50 people robbing a caravan in the grass, and although the caravan warriors resisted bravely, they were outnumbered and finally defeated. In the end, more than a dozen people were captured, but the robbers also left behind more than a dozen corpses. When Wei Zeng saw the tragic experience of these people, he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he couldn't save them. looked sideways at Gu Chayi and found that his expression was different, and he was very excited. After careful questioning, I realized that among the robbers there was his father-killing enemy.
"I know him when he turned to ashes, and he was the one who commanded the bandits to ransack my father's caravan, and my father saved me, but he himself died. I've been looking for him for a few years and didn't expect to meet him now. I'm going to kill him. ”
Saying that, Gu Chayi was about to rush out. Wei Zeng hurriedly grabbed him.
"Check one, you calm down first, we must take revenge, but we can't be impulsive. Now that I have met him, I will definitely not let him go. We can't fight them now, so it's better to sneak close to him first, and then make a sneak attack, kill him at once, and then flee quickly. It's safer that way. ”
Gu Chayi is not a fool, and when he heard Wei Zeng say this, he calmed down his excitement, took out his bow and arrows, and was about to wait for the opportunity to shoot him.
After the battle, the robbers split into two groups, one with a large force searching for the caravan's caravan. And the chieftain seemed to be impatient with this boring work, so he took ten men and took the captives to return to the cottage.
Wei Zeng saw that the leader was coming in his direction, his heart tightened, and the flying knife in his hand was also aimed at the leader. Gu Chayi's hand holding the bow and arrow was a little trembling because of his excitement, but his mind was very clear. The leader strode at the front of the group, and was very happy that he had just ransacked the caravan and made a fortune. When the leader who was humming a little song had just approached Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi, the two of them rose up to fight, Wei Zeng hit the leader's heart with a flying knife, and Gu Cha sealed his throat with arrows one by one, and the leader died and could not die again.
When several robbers saw that the leader was killed, they were stunned and dared to chase after them, but they were thrown by Wei Zeng's flying knives and Gu Cha's arrows and knocked down the three of them. The rest of the people hurriedly dodged, looking at the dead or still moaning people on the ground, and no one dared to chase them.
As soon as Wei Zeng and Gu Cha took advantage of the thieves to hide, they fled with Wei Zhen.
Wei Zeng and the three fled to one place, and they were relieved to see that no one was chasing them. Gu Cha had a big revenge, and he cried a few times in a stirred mood. When the three of them had rested, and Gu Chayi also regained his composure, the three of them made a detour to continue their journey.
After walking for a short time, they saw footsteps in front of them, and the three of them thought that the pursuers were coming, so they hurriedly dodged, and once they were discovered, they hurt people and ran away. But he saw seven robbers in front of him escorting a dozen people forward.
"I didn't expect the leader to be plotted, do you think those people were sent by other cottages."
"Anyway, the leader is dead, and now the leaders are debating who killed the assassin and who will be the leader. Now more than 200 people in the whole cottage are searching for people nearby. ”
"Then what if you can't find an assassin, you can't have no leader."
"It's not our business, there will always be a leader, anyway, it's not your turn and mine."
Wei Zeng heard that there were more than 200 people chasing him, and then he saw how many captives and these seven robbers were there. I have a plan in my heart. He was in the forest around Lu Ye City, and he was surrounded and killed by cultists because he was alone, and he almost couldn't escape. There are only seven robbers here, and if they save a dozen or so of them, they will all have the strength to deal with the robbers who are chasing them. glanced at Wei Zhen, but he didn't want Wei Zhen to become the second Feng Liansheng.
Wei Zeng waved his hand to Gu Cha one by one to signal a sneak attack, Gu Cha nodded, pulled out his bow and arrow, and aimed at a nearby person. When several robbers approached Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi unsuspectingly, one of the robbers suddenly shouted and stopped. Everyone was shocked and asked what was the matter. The man said he wanted to. Everyone made a chord and relaxed their vigilance again. Before the sound of the crowd could stop, the man screamed and fell to the ground with an arrow stuck in his head.
It turned out that the grass where the man was going was Gu Chayi's hideout. When Gucha saw that he could no longer hide, he fired an arrow at the man's head, and then struck at the other man with his spear. When Wei Zeng saw that Gu Cha made a move, he also attacked, and a javelin solved the life of a thief in a daze. Another javelin killed a thief who was slashing at the side of Gucha with a sword, and he fought with the two thieves with a shield staff.
The man who swept away hurriedly blocked with his long knife. Gu Cha shot one by one, knocked the long knife away, and left a hole in the man's arm, and was about to settle his life but was blocked by another person. Another man went around his side. When the person behind the side fell to the ground with a wail, Gu Cha was calm, and danced his marksmanship to fight with the thief in front of him.
Wei Zeng protected his body with a shield, took the blow, and slowly forced towards the two thieves, and attacked the enemy with a staff between the two thieves' moves. One of the thieves saw that Wei Zeng was coming, and he couldn't hurt him in the slightest, and each of them took a few sticks, and he was so anxious that he kicked on Wei Zeng's shield. Wei Zeng took the opportunity to use a shield to knock the thief who kicked the shield to the ground, and hit the thief's chest with a follow-up staff. The thief was torn apart, vomiting blood and dying.
Wei Gu and the two of them each fought one person, and those thieves' martial arts were also common, and victory was a matter of time. But the injured thief found Weizhen hiding in the grass, so he wanted to hold Weizhen hostage and let Wei Gu and the others be arrested. Wei Zhen couldn't dodge, so he was grabbed by the shoulder by the thief and choked by the throat with one hand. Wei Gu and the others were shocked when they saw this, so they had to temporarily retreat from the enemy.
The thief who caught Weizhen was very proud when he saw Wei Gu and the others stop, and he wanted to threaten him. But before the words could be spoken, his chest was cold, and he saw a bright short sword inserted in his chest. The thief was very unwilling, and he used his last strength to hurt Weizhen, but when he saw the short sword pulled out and pierced in, the thief finally fell to the ground without being able to afford it. As soon as Wei Zeng and Gu Cha saw that Wei Zhen was out of danger, they quickly eliminated the last two enemies.
Wei Zeng hurriedly ran towards Weizhen after eliminating the thief. Peeling off the clothes on her shoulders slightly, looking at the still weak shoulders and neck that were pinched by the thief and turned purple, Wei Zeng felt a burst of self-blame in his heart, and quickly took out the medicine from the medicine box and applied it to Weizhen's bruises. Weizhen's face may be a little pale because of pain, or it may be because of fright. But Wei Zhen looked at Wei Zeng worrying about himself and healing himself, smiled on his face, and whispered in Wei Zeng's ear: "Brother Wei, I used to say that I would not be a drag on you, and I would protect myself, but now I have finally done it." Brother Wei, I will continue to work hard, you have been taking care of me now, and I will be able to take care of you one day in the future. ”
Wei Zeng stroked her hair when he heard Weizhen's childish words, but he still knew that Weizhen was also growing, and she was also working hard to make herself better.
As soon as Gu Cha was healing Wei Zhen for Wei Zeng, he rescued the dozen or so caravan guards, and after those people were saved, they thanked the three of them a thousand times. Many of those people had been wounded in the battle with the thieves, and Wei Zeng gave them medicine to deal with their injuries. A few people picked up the weapons of the thieves on the ground, and a few people sharpened the wooden sticks as weapons, and headed in the direction of Shifeng City under the leadership of Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi.
Although there were sporadic bandits along the way, more than a dozen people fought bravely and were able to cope with it. It seems that those thieves thought that there were only three assassins, so they scattered too few people, but Wei Zeng rescued more than a dozen prisoners, and now they can't even stop them.
A dozen people have been gone for two days without encountering the robbers again, and it seems that they have left the bandits' sphere of influence. Everyone escaped death, and Shifeng City was only two days away, and everyone's mood was relaxed. But just when everyone sighed for the thrill of this road, the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead, which made everyone's hearts nervous again.
I saw three horses running in front of me, and immediately there were three samurai dressed in yellow clothes and wearing yellow belts on their heads, not robbers. I saw these people walk in front of everyone, and said as if they were nothing.
"Is that them?"
"It said it was a girl, but the girl may or may not be disguised. Search for them, and let them go if no one is around. ”
"Girl, isn't there just one, is that the person?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either, so let's catch that girl back, I'd rather catch it by mistake than let it go. But be careful, the guy we're going to catch is doing a good job. ”
"How good a girl's kung fu can be, it must be that the people below are afraid of being blamed and exaggerate the facts."
When everyone saw these three people coming, they unceremoniously searched everyone, and their hearts were on fire. Wei Zeng gestured a glance to Gu Cha, and then touched the flying knife in his hand to secretly guard himself. Listening to the three of them talking about arresting a girl, and also set their eyes on Wei Zhen, Wei Gu and the two knew that a fierce battle would definitely be inevitable. Seeing that these three people were strong and bright, they were the image of a group of martial arts masters, Wei Zeng did not dare to be careless, and was ready to make a death move as soon as he made a move.
I saw a man riding a horse towards Weizhen as if no one was around, and wanted to take Weizhen hostage. Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi were in front of him on the left and right. Wei Zeng saw that someone was approaching, and shot at that person with a flying knife. Although the man seemed to be unguarded, he flew the flying knife with his sword in one fell swoop. Gu Cha took the opportunity to poke the horse's head with a shot, stopping the man from castrating. The horse was frightened by the pain, but was strangled by the man and returned to normal. How could Wei Zeng let the man recover calmly, and struck the horse's leg with a cane, breaking the horse's leg. The man had no choice but to abandon his horse, rolled over and dismounted. Gu Cha stabbed with a gun and swept it. The man avoided a stab, but he was still swept in the calf, leaving a cut in the leg. The man was furious in his heart, and he picked up his weapon and was about to kill Gu Chayi, but when he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, he hurriedly swung his sword to block. Wei Zeng threw out the javelin and castrated extremely violently, although he was blocked, he castrated and inserted it into the man's left arm, but the power had been greatly reduced. Gu Cha took the opportunity to shoot him, and although the man was injured, he also hurried to deal with it, and it was on par with Gu Cha. Wei Zeng threw another javelin, and the man blocked it with a sword, although he was not injured, the long sword was knocked away due to the severe pain in the tiger's mouth.
"It's too big." The man said something and ran to his companion, but he saw that he was surrounded by more than a dozen people. Gu Cha stopped the man on his way, and Wei Zeng came with a shield and a staff to kill him. This man was strong in martial arts, but he was wounded in the front, and it was difficult for him to cope without a weapon when he was besieged by two people, and he was killed in a short time.
