Chapter 18 Difficult to Investigate
Wei Qing shouted several more times, and a woman's voice came from the cellar: "Brother Wei, is it really you?" Wei Qing recognized that this was Cheng Qian's voice, and said with great joy: "It's me, I'm Brother Wei, you come out quickly, while the Jin army hasn't hit this side, I'll escort you out of the city together."
After a while, Cheng Qian's figure slowly appeared under the cellar, her face was pale, and she was holding a long sword in her hand, after seeing that it was indeed Wei Qing, she relaxed and asked: "Brother Wei, it turned out to be really you, how did you find here", Wei Qing stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Qian up, and replied: "It was a servant in your mansion who told me that the golden dog has entered the city, quickly follow me out of the east gate, and I will tell you slowly on the way", Cao Lu was also busy helping on the side.
Cheng Qian climbed out of the cellar, looked around and hesitated: "Brother Wei, what about my father and Senior Brother Zhang, why don't they come back with you." Wei Qingshang hesitated about the wording, but Cao Lu preemptively said: "Your father is dead, Zhang Jingting has surrendered the tartar, if you don't want to fall into the hands of Fangou as a slave, just follow us, it's too late to talk nonsense."
Cheng Qian used to speak gently, but at this time, when she heard Cao Lu talking about her father and senior brother, she couldn't help but glared at him angrily and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, I know you don't like me, and you secretly slander me a lot on weekdays, so you are too lazy to care, but how can you curse my father and Senior Brother Zhang in person."
Cao Lu sighed and said: "My eldest lady, my life is at stake, if it weren't for Brother Qing'er who had to come to save you, I would have gone out of the city a long time ago, who still has the leisure to make fun of you." Cheng Qian observed the words and saw that Cao Lu did not seem to be a fake, but when she suddenly heard the bad news of her loved ones, she didn't want to believe it in her heart, and she still turned her eyes to Wei Qing with the last trace of hope.
Wei Qing lowered his head to avoid Cheng Qian's gaze, nodded and whispered: "Miss Cheng, I know that you will be difficult to accept for a while, but Master Cheng Helm has indeed unfortunately died, then Li Hansheng is actually a fine work of the Jin people, his real name is Ha Michi, at this time, it is estimated that he is with Zhang Jingting, Zhang Jingting he defected, and the water pass in the south of the city was deceived by him."
The tears that Cheng Qian had been holding back finally fell like beads of broken thread at this time, and she cried loudly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, my father's martial arts are so high, you can all come back, how can he not come back, you must have joined forces to deceive me, otherwise you used tricks to deliberately trap him."
Wei Qingwen said: "Miss Cheng, since I promised you to protect Lord Cheng before, I will never do anything to bury my conscience, in short, there is nothing to do at that time, and I will talk to you about the details after leaving the city."
Cao Lu said anxiously on the side: "My master is also dead, will I still curse my master, you don't want to treat others with yourself anymore, always think that everyone is like you, will hide their scheming in the face of hypocrisy to calculate others, although your father is hypocritical, but he can hold it on the big festival, and he is a famous figure in the martial arts, but Zhang Jingting is very spineless, and he is willing to be the second tartar who does not want to be an ancestor, if you don't want to be angry that your father crawls out of the grave, just go out of the city with us."
Cheng Qian couldn't control her emotions at this time, she knelt on the ground and hid her face and cried, Wei Qing saw her crying and her shoulders trembled and her body twitched, obviously she was sad to the extreme, she couldn't help but step forward and take this poor person into her arms, and comforted Wen Yan: "Miss Cheng, don't be sad anymore, everything here is not your fault, don't worry, I will protect you from now on, and I will never let you shed a tear again."
At this moment, a huge force suddenly pulled Wei Qing's whole person backwards, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes, Wei Qing only felt a pain in his chest, and looked down to see that a long wound had been cut on his chest, but fortunately, it was only a wound on the skin. Wei Qing looked up in inexplicable surprise, only to see that Cheng Qian had been holding the sword in his hand and pointing at him at some point, it turned out that fortunately Cao Lu noticed the abnormality and pulled him back in time, otherwise it would have been disemboweled.
Wei Qing was stunned and said, "Miss Cheng, what are you...... Why ......".
Cheng Qian's face was like frost, and she slowly stood up, and the long sword in her hand was still pointed at Wei Qing and said: "Hmph, don't you know your idea for me, you just covet my body, thinking that I can only be at your mercy after a woman goes out of the city alone, but you make up such lies to deceive me."
Wei Qing hurriedly swore to the sky, saying that he never had the slightest intention of harming people, Cheng Qian was confused at this time, where was he willing to believe it, and his originally pretty face was covered with a hideous sly smile and said: "At this time, I am not afraid to say that I know you, when I first met, I pretended to say to you just to win you to worship my father as a teacher, so that he could refute Lin Hu's face in front of Lord Lu, who knew that you actually sat in a sedan chair without being carried by anyone, and later provoked you to compete with Senior Brother Zhang at the door of my house, just to teach you a lesson." The night before in the city, I wanted to coax you to exchange your life for the safety of my father and senior brother at a critical time, but who knew that you fled with your life, but you trapped the two of them outside."
Wei Qing heard that the person he had a bitter lovesick crush on turned out to treat him like this, and his heart was very sour, and he said sadly: "I thought that even if you didn't have a love for me, you always had a little kindness, but I didn't expect ......."
Cheng Qian chuckled disdainfully: "What are you, just an ant-like little person, how can you compare to Senior Brother Zhang's half handsome and chic, the most hated thing in my life is to call flowers, every time I finish talking to you, I will be disgusted for a long time when I go home, you fool still have such non-centrific thoughts, it's really ridiculous."
Wei Qing stayed in place in a daze for a long time, and said with a long sigh: "No matter what, I can't help but save you from the city, after escaping this catastrophe, I will find a stable place to settle you, and I will never come to disturb you again in the future." Wei Qing said that he stepped forward and reached out to pull Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian immediately screamed and danced the sword in front of him, not letting Wei Qing get close to him, Wei Qing didn't want to delay and entangle here, waved his hand to knock the long sword to the ground, grabbed Cheng Qian's sleeve and dragged it out. Wei Qingli was so strong that Cheng Qian couldn't break free, so she simply lay down on the ground and kicked her feet around, shouting in her mouth: "Help, I won't go with your stinky flower, I want to wait for Senior Brother Zhang to come back."
Cao Lu grabbed Wei Qing and said: "Since she doesn't want to go with you, you can be regarded as having exhausted your mind this time, not to mention that if she messes around like this, she won't be able to go far with it." Wei Qingshang hesitated, and there was a sudden commotion outside the house, and Cao Lu immediately climbed up to look at it, and said: "There are a lot of torches outside the door, it must be the Jin army that has hit this side, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Cao Lu pulled Wei Qing out of the back door and walked out of the wall, Wei Qing jumped on the wall, reluctantly turned around and glanced at Cheng Qian one last time, only to see that she didn't turn to look at herself at all, but shouted in her mouth: "Senior Brother Zhang, are you here to pick up Qian'er, Qian'er only wants to follow you in this life."
After the two came out of Chengfu, they immediately ran quickly in the direction of the east gate, the city was full of fire, and the people and soldiers fleeing for their lives were all over the way. Wei Qing and Cao Lu finally followed the flow of people to a street not far in front of the east gate, from a distance the city gate did not seem to be closed, the two of them were lucky, the front suddenly fryer-like coaxing burst of screams, the fleeing people who walked in the front turned around and ran backwards, someone shouted: "Jin Bing is coming, run away."
Cao Lu shouted at the chaotic crowd: "The city gate is still open, there must not be many golden soldiers coming, everyone rushes over together, they can't stop it", but everyone in front of them only cared about their own way and fled, where did they still have the courage to fight back and counterattack.
Wei Qing saw that the city gate was already in sight, and immediately gritted his teeth and said to Cao Lu: "Senior brother, if I go back now, I don't think I can get out of the city, I would rather die than be a slave of the Tartars, it is better to desperately kill a bloody road and rush out of the city."
Cao Lu replied: "I think the same way, while there are not many enemies now, let's do it quickly, it will be too late when the Jin army closes the city gate." Wei Qing and Cao Lu had already decided, so they squeezed forward against the flow of people, and came to the city gate about fifty paces away to see that in front of the gate stood dozens of Jin army armor soldiers, they did not follow the pursuit, only when the crowd tried to approach the city gate, they shot down a few arrows, scaring the others to retreat into the city.
Wei Qing slashed the door panel of a shop on the street with a few palms, held it in his hand and blocked it in front of him, and rushed forward first, followed by Cao Lu with a stick. Jin Bing saw that someone was storming the city gate and hurriedly released arrows, but they all shot at the door panel and failed to hurt the two. Wei Qing rushed to the front, threw the door panel and shouted, pounced on the broken palm technique passed by the division, and struck the golden soldier standing in front with all his strength, the golden soldier snorted and fell to the ground, but Wei Qing's palm strength was insufficient and the opponent was wearing heavy armor, the golden soldier immediately stood up again, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out his waist knife and stepped forward to fight, and the other golden soldiers next to him also surrounded to help.
Cao Lu also threw off the stick method to join the battle group, his martial arts are higher than Wei Qing, and ordinary soldiers are not his opponents, but the two of them are suitable for martial arts competition regardless of palm or stick skills, but it is difficult to be effective in the face of armored soldiers who fight in formation on the battlefield, although they can frequently hit the opponent, but they can never kill the enemy on the spot or seriously injure them, and they can only protect themselves under the siege of many golden soldiers, but they are unable to fight out of the encirclement and take the road.
A golden soldier wielded a shield and waved a knife and Wei Qing fought fiercely, Wei Qing hit each other with several palms, the golden soldier relied on the thickness of the armor and did not parry, only cared about slashing with a knife, Wei Qing was in a hurry under the enemy's fierce attack, and suddenly pulled out the Zhanlu sword on his waist in a hurry and used the sword as the palm to make a move "lunge rushing palm", which was the first style of the broken palm. The golden soldier was wearing heavy armor, and the ordinary blade was originally difficult to pierce, he thought that he would also cut Wei Qing under the knife at the same time as he was fighting for this sword, but the solid armor on his body was penetrated like a knife cutting tofu under the attack of the Zhanlu sword, and he was suddenly stabbed and penetrated.
