Chapter 41: Counterattack
The news of Ye Pei's appearance in the territory of the Zi Clan quickly spread back to the Feng Clan, and then the Lin Clan and the Wan Clan also knew the news.
When they heard the news, to be honest, the soldiers of the Feng family who provided the portraits were stunned.
"My day, that kid looks pretty good, how did you recognize him when my portrait was painted like that?"
Xiao Wu, who rushed back to deliver the message, said angrily: "Relying on the face you painted, we can't find it." It's just that you say that he doesn't wear armor when he fights, and he has always been dressed in white brocade, and when we saw the young man in white, we found that he had a leaf embroidered on his right shoulder, and we were sure that it was him. ”
"Oh...... It's a ...... that you recognize by your clothes."
When the news spread, a large number of people from various families immediately flocked to the Zi clan's territory to hunt down Ye Pei.
It's just that the two people of the Zi clan chased and informed Zi Yankong of the news that Ye Pei and Zi Qingrong had left the town in the morning, and two days later, Zi Yankong found the two who were grilling fish by a small river in the west.
"Miss, go back with us!" As soon as they met, Zi Yankong got straight to the point.
Zi Qingrong looked unhappy: "No! Oh, I'm not in any danger with him, why are you so worried about following me like this!"
Zi Yankong persuaded for a long time, but Zi Qingrong was reluctant to leave, and in desperation, Zi Yankong called Ye Pei aside.
"Childe, I don't know why my young lady has to go with you, but I want you to promise to protect my young lady. Further west is not far from the Holy Sacrifice Mountain, and we are not allowed to go to that area. ”
Instead of facing Zi Qingrong, Ye Pei still looked cold, and there was no emotion on her pale face.
"You don't need to be reminded that she is my savior, and I can exchange my life for her if necessary. ”
Zi Yankong was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It's better to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." In this way, I hope that Childe must take this thing. ”
As he spoke, Zi Yankong took out a medicine bottle from his arms.
Ye Pei took it and opened it, only to see a red pill inside, crystal clear, and very good-looking.
Ye Pei's trust in Zi Qingrong does not mean that he will trust Zi's family. A mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "What's the matter? Talking about the heart of a villain, but he has no intention of changing it, do you want to use poison to control me like this?"
Zi Yankong hurriedly said: "Gongzi misunderstood, this thing is called 'Fire Eyes', it is a kind of beast eye refining around the Necromantic Volcano, a year ago, the Great Priest of the Holy Sacrifice Mountain handed over this thing to the Zi family, and told the lord that when it was time to use it, the lord would naturally know." ”
Ye Pei frowned and said, "Then what does this do?"
Zi Yankong said: "It can help Gongzi cover up your identity as a wangmai person, and from now on, when you have violent psychological fluctuations or power operations, there will also be a flash of fire in your eyes." ”
Ye Pei frowned and looked at the fire eyes, but did not speak. And Zi Qingrong didn't know when he had quietly come here, and said: "Ye Zi, what Uncle Yankong said is true, I was present when the chief official handed us this. ”
When Ye Pei heard this, she no longer doubted it and swallowed it in her mouth. Nadan melted in his mouth, and Ye Pei waited quietly for a long time, but there was no reaction.
This is also the first time the Zi family has seen this, Zi Yankong wanted to test whether this fire eye worked, so he glanced at the person next to him, and a young man next to him understood, and then, "Drink!" With a loud roar, the young man hit Ye Pei with a straight fist.
Zi Qingrong was shocked, and the fire in his eyes burst out, but before he could scream, Ye Pei had already reached out with a hand like lightning and grabbed the attacking fist, his face did not change, and his black pupils did not change at all.
"You're just making me laugh. ”
"What are you doing!" At this time, Zi Qingrong loudly scolded the young man who called over.
However, Ye Pei stretched out her hand to stop Zi Qingrong and said, "Sir, you don't have to use this method, I have my own way." ”
After saying that, Ye Pei used his internal force slightly, and then his eyes flashed with a burst of fire, no different from the Yan people.
Seeing this, Zi Yankong hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "I didn't know that Gongzi was such a master, and he was offended." So, I'll take my leave. Miss, please also be safe. ”
After Zi Yankong and his party left, Zi Qingrong asked Ye Pei with a curious face: "Ye Zi, how did you manage to control that by yourself?"
Ye Pei smiled and said: "You said Huoguang, you practice martial arts well, and I will teach you this slowly." ”
After a pause, Ye Pei suddenly remembered something, and said, "It's good to have a horse with your Uncle Yankong." ”
Zi Qingrong smiled: "If you come, I won't ride!"
Ye Pei has become a lot more casual since he took the fire eyes, and the two of them walked towards the Holy Sacrifice Mountain at an unhurried speed, and along the way, Ye Pei continued to teach Zi Qingrong the basic skills of swordsmanship.
However, finally, the Feng family found Ye Pei.
"Yeh Pei, let's finally let us find you!"
Ye Pei and Zi Qingrong were sitting and drinking tea in a teahouse on the outskirts of a certain city, when they heard this, Ye Pei smiled, raised his head and said, "Several, who is Ye Pei? I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person." ”
The leading man shouted, "Pretend, pretend to chop you again!" As he spoke, the leading man pulled out a knife from his waist.
Ye Pei's face suddenly changed to a flustered expression, and a fire burst into his eyes, "A few big brothers, talk well, I even greeted you at the inn a few days ago!"
Seeing this glimmer of fire, the Feng family was stunned for a moment, and after a while, the leader put away the machete, touched the back of his head and said, "What did you kid run after saying hello to us that day!"
Ye Pei slowly returned to her normal expression, glanced at Zi Qingrong and said, "Zai and Neiko came here in a hurry to do business, so they naturally left in a hurry that day." ”
Next to Zi Qingrong heard Ye Pei call her Neizi, although she knew that Ye Pei was lying, she still couldn't help but have her heart beating faster, and her cheeks were crimson.
The big man of the Feng family said again: "Then why is there a leaf word embroidered on your clothes?"
Ye Pei smiled: "The younger brother's surname is Ye Mingzhe, and the embroidery on this dress is my family's tradition." ”
The big man of the Feng family thought about it for a while, and there was no flaw in this, and said, "That's the case...... We were offended. I'm sorry, little brother. ”
Ye Pei said: "It's okay, let's invite a few big brothers to sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving." ”
A few people were about to sit down and drink tea, but they only heard a burst of shouts not far away: "That's Ye Pei, don't be deceived by him!"
It was more than 20 people from the Lin family who came, and in order to ensure that he would not admit his mistake, Lin Jingzhi, the lord of the Lin family, specially selected more than 20 elites from among the soldiers who had participated in the war and had seen Ye Pei.
Ye Pei scolded in his heart, his right hand shook, the lid of the teapot in his hand suddenly flew out, and as soon as he raised his hand, a pot of hot tea was poured on the face of a man in the Feng family.
Ye Pei took Zi Qingrong on the horse and galloped, and the people of the Lin family followed closely over there, while the leader of the Feng family was slapped with a slap, and there was a person with a scalded face rolling all over the ground, so he couldn't chase it.
"These people must have seen me in Wangmai to be so sure. Ye Pei said while galloping on his horse.
This scene had really frightened Zi Qingrong, and his voice trembled, "That...... So what are we going to do......"
After observation, Ye Pei had already determined the path in his mind, and said, "Let's go into the mountain in the south, find you a place to hide, and I'll take care of them myself." ”
Zi Qingrong exclaimed, "Do you want to go alone?"
Ye Pei's expression was cold, and her voice was full of anger: "There are only more than 20 soldiers, I, Ye Pei, have never let this kind of garbage chase and kill when I am so old." ”
In fact, Zi Qingrong only knew that the Holy Sacrifice Mountain was due west of his territory, but in the past few days, the two of them have unconsciously deviated from the direction, although they are still going west, but they are a little southerly.
Ye Pei's observation is not wrong, the terrain of that mountain is indeed very complicated, suitable for Tibetans, and also suitable for guerrilla fighting.
Running into the mountain, Ye Pei looked back and saw that the Lin family was still chasing after them, so he hurried a few steps to settle Zi Qingrong in the bushes on the side of the mountain wall, picked up a few stones and rode out of the mountain alone.
Outside, Lin Jiajun's people had just arrived here, and when they saw Ye Pei coming out, they said strangely: "You still dare to come out when we chase you? ”
A sneer hung on Ye Pei's pale face, and he shook his hand and threw a stone, only to see that the stone flew straight towards a soldier standing in front of him and hit him straight into his eye socket. The soldier screamed and fell off his horse, and was silent again.
At this time, Ye Pei's right hand slowly pulled out a big knife with black mangs from his waist, and his cold voice enveloped the two dozen people of the Lin family.
"I'm afraid you've forgotten how Lin Yukong and your birds will die at my hands. ”
At this time, the Lin family remembered that their marshal and a group of generals were all killed and dismounted by Ye Pei's real sword.
Before, they also returned to their hometown, and they had more confidence in fighting at home, plus they knew that Ye Pei was alone in the hot land, and their confidence was enough, so much so that they forgot the absolute gap in combat effectiveness.
Half a day later, by a small river in the mountains, Zi Qingrong rubbed the blood stains on Ye Pei's clothes.
"What should I do...... Someone is chasing us again......" Zi Qingrong muttered while washing.
Ye Pei grilled fish on the side and said, "Qingrong, do you regret coming out with me?"
When Zi Qingrong heard this, he raised his head and said, "I don't regret it!"
Ye Pei looked at her: "Why?"
Zi Qingrong's face turned red and said, "I...... I don't know. ”
Ye Pei said, "In this case, we can only continue to walk south into the Exile Domain, and then find another path to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain." Let me go up to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain to heal the wounds in my body, and I can feel that my strength will definitely improve. ”
Although Ye Pei had almost killed the Lin family's pursuers before, there were soon reinforcements sent by the three families to support. And Ye Pei could see that among the people who came, there were many masters with the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and most of them were hired by these three to do things.
