"Snowfall in June and thunder in winter are not good signs."

The team moved forward slowly, and Shang Bian came to Wei Tao's side with a solemn expression on his face.

"Sir, did you hear the thunder rolling between the mountains and forests just now?"

"Nope." Wei Tao thought about it carefully, but still shook his head, "There was thunder just now?" Why didn't I hear it? ”

"It's definitely thundering, don't believe Mr. go ask them."

Shang Bian sighed and poured a sip of soju into his mouth.

"What is there to ask about this, the thunder will be good, and it will not hit us anyway."

Wei Tao sat on the wheel, his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next moment.

"Mr. Wei, it's windy outside, if you're tired, go into the carriage and take a rest."

The curtains were lifted, and Qu Shang poked his head out, a little concerned.

Without waiting for Wei Tao to refuse, she and Wei Hong got out of it.

"I sat with Sister Hong for too long, and I just came down to walk and move."

Shang Bian also said, "Mr. has just retreated from the enemy, and he really needs to rest for a while, just watch us outside." ”

Wei Tao no longer shirked, and bent down into the carriage.

He was really tired, and leaned back on the cushion and fell into a deep sleep.

Shang Bian tugged on the reins and slowed down slightly.

When the carriage slowly stabilized in an open space, Wei Tao opened his eyes just right, lifted the curtain and looked out.

In the distance, smoke rises and takes on various shapes in the light of the setting sun.

"How long did I sleep?"

He took out the water bag and drank a few sips, feeling full of energy, and there was nothing wrong with him except that he was a little hungry.

"Sir slept from the second half of the night to the first half of the night."

Shang Bian yawned with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

"It's a village over there?" Wei Tao pointed to the direction where the smoke was.

"Well, this should be Fengying Village, about two hundred and forty miles south of Cangyuan City."

Shang Bian opened the map and pointed out a location on it, "From here, go south and cross the Mingshui River, and we will be out of the jurisdiction of Cangyuan City." ”

"Mingshui River?"

Wei Tao's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that his senior brother Tan Pan once said that the teacher and the great enemy fought on the bank of the Mingshui River, and he didn't know if it was this river.

"Yes, Mingshui River."

Shang Bian nodded, "I heard the sect master say before that the main trunk of the Mingshui River runs from west to east, and there is a tributary running through the north and south on the ground of Qizhou, which is a famous waterway.

Whether it is transporting grain and grass or transporting goods, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources than land routes. ”

As a result, the Mingshui Gang was also established, and many shipwrights and shipwrights on both sides of the river joined.

And with the passage of time, it has become stronger and stronger, and there are many masters inside, and it is already a big force in one side. ”

"Those who set the rules are located at the height of the temple, and those who set the rules are far away from the rivers and lakes." Wei Tao thought of the Cao Gang in his previous life, and couldn't help but be a little more interested in the Mingshui Gang.

"The temple is high, the rivers and lakes are far away, Mr. is really a person who has read books, and his subordinates admire him very much."

Shang Bian gave a small fart and put away the map in his hand, "Do we want to stay in Fengying Village at night, so that the brothers can have a good meal and have a sheltered house to rest." ”

"Then let's live here." Wei Tao nodded, and suddenly turned to look at the bushes on the side.

"Friends hiding there, you can come out."

As soon as he raised his hand, he didn't let Shang Bian and the others get closer, and walked slowly over alone.

There was a bang.

Several people emerged from the depths of the bushes.

They were all women, ragged, dirty, and smelly.

"Sir, okay, can you give us something to eat?"

A woman led the crowd behind her and kept prostrating.

Her accent sounded a little weird, like a foreigner, speaking the official dialect of the Great Zhou.

Not far away, Wei Hong and Qu Sheng watched curiously, and were quickly protected by the disciples of the Tsing Yi Society who were holding knives and sent back to the carriage.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, then took out a bag of dried meat and threw it in front of the woman.

He asked, "Who are you?" ”

She held the bag of jerky in her arms, "If you go back to the master, the slave family fled from Mozhou and came here, and it was cold and hungry when they came here, and they really had no strength." ”

Wei Tao nodded, flicked his fingers, and a few pieces of loose silver fell into the woman's hand accurately.

There was also a scorching temperature on it.

He looked at her quietly, "Take the food and the money, and let's go." ”

The woman held the bag but did not leave.

just cried in a low voice, "The slave family begged the master to show kindness and took in a few of us." ”

"What can you do to take you in?"

Wei Tao was noncommittal, his eyes passed over a few people, and looked at the fading smoke in the distance.

"The slave maid has opened a restaurant at home, and she can do laundry, cooking, bookkeeping and chores."

He smiled slightly, "Killing, can you do it?" ”

The woman looked up in amazement, her eyes full of surprise.

Wei Tao's tone was flat, and then he asked, "Dead man, you can always do it." ”

Boom!

The woman's feet exploded, and mud and snow splattered.

She exhaled and stood up.

His hands were pitch black, and a faint fishy smell spread.

Click!

She couldn't get up straight.

A large hand fell and pressed the top of her head.

The majestic power poured down, and the clicks were crisp and crisp.

The woman sat still, blood gushing out of her mouth, dripping to the ground.

Rumble!

Another gust of wind arose.

Before the other women could react, they were slapped by Wei Tao and killed on the spot.

Bang la blah.

Deep in the thick bushes, another sound came out.

But this time it's a quick walkaway.

Wei Tao made a few leaps and quickly caught up.

A series of screams followed.

There were also a dozen red-eyed men rushing out of the woods on the other side, brandishing weapons and killing the convoy.

The disciples of the Tsing Yi Society shot the hidden weapon wildly and drew their swords to meet it.

The battle erupted in an instant, and ended in a few breaths.

The enemies who rushed out were scattered all over the ground.

Except for one of the disciples of the Tsing Yi Society, who was injured in the arm, the others were unscathed.

Wei Tao stood in front of the woman again.

She was angry, and looked up with a wry smile, "You, you are actually a master of three turns of qi and blood." ”

He was noncommittal, just sighed and shook his head, "I gave you a chance, but you have to seek your own death, why bother?" ”

"You, how did you find out that we are not ordinary people, but warriors who want to block the road and plunder......

Wei Tao laughed and said nonchalantly, "You treat me as a fat sheep, but I think you are a fool." ”

"Not far ahead is the village, you say you are starving to death, don't you know how to go in and ask for a few bowls of porridge to eat?

Also, since you are about to starve to death, I gave you jerky, but you didn't eat it right out of the bag, are you afraid that I will poison you? ”

The woman sighed and laughed the same, "You came so suddenly, we don't have much time to prepare. ”

"If you figure it out, hit the road, lest you make others wait for you too long."

Wei Tao nodded, and pointed forward.

Click!

The woman's neck was tilted back, and there was an extra bloody hole in the center of her eyebrows.

Blood spurted out of his brain, and he immediately lost his breath.

Shang Bian stepped forward, "Sir, we just disposed of the corpses and found that these people seem to be a little strange. ”

"What's strange?"

Wei Tao asked, "Can't they split the bodies?" Or is it an extra head? ”

"The adults laughed, and the subordinates meant that they were indeed refugees from Mozhou, but they didn't seem to be ordinary refugees."

Shang Bian said as he led Wei Tao to a male corpse.

He crouched down and lifted the clothes of one of them, revealing the tattoo on his chest.

Wei Tao was a little unimpressed at first.

But the moment he saw the tattoo, he squinted his eyes suddenly, and immediately squatted beside Shang Bian to get closer and take a closer look.

Swish!

The knife flashed.

Soon everyone else's clothes were all ripped open, and everyone had the exact same tattoo on their chest.

That's an eye.

A vertical pupil, to be exact.

There are also many straight lines radiating from the vertical pupil, which clearly means that the eyes are shining outward.

"The Luocha clan turned out to be a member of the Luocha clan!"

Wei Tao immediately got up, walked quickly to the woman's side, and cut open the cotton clothes she was wearing.

This time, he didn't see a vertical pupil tattoo, but a completely different kind of tattoo.

It's like a dragon, or a python.

Coiled below her navel, the color is blue-gray, hideous and majestic.

Shang Bian looked at the tattoo pattern curiously, but he was even more curious about why his boss was so frustrated.

Wei Tao was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I've been worrying about how to find them.

As a result, the sky had eyes and asked them to take the initiative to come forward, but I killed them all.

Not even a single one survived. ”
