"Sister, what's in the woods across the way is..." Although Wei Changfeng was helped and pulled along by Wei Qing, his body and face were scraped by countless small branches, which made the usually pampered Wei Changfeng feel numb all over his body. The spot didn't hurt, but it couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Is it 'Biwu'?"
"If 'Biwu' arrives, do we still need to run like this?" Wei Changying's tone was clear and surprisingly calm, "That was Uncle Jiang. When the first wave of arrows came down, he kicked him over The carriage, which had no doors or windows, blocked a round of arrows for me. He just took advantage of the chaos and told me that he had to deal with the archers in the forest first, otherwise none of us would be able to escape today. Uncle Jiang should have taken advantage of the men in black to find and kill all the archers!"
Hearing that Jiang Zheng was the only one who killed all the enemy's archers and used the enemy's bows and arrows to attack the men in black who rushed to the official road, Wei Changfeng's previous joy was immediately extinguished and he subconsciously asked: " What about Uncle Jiang?”
"I don't know, he asked us to leave first." Wei Changying's voice was very calm, but also very cold, which was very unusual. Wei Qing didn't have much contact with her, and he admired her calmness today. He didn't notice anything, but Wei Changfeng felt a little ominous. He thought blankly: Why is the eldest sister so weird
It's just that they are not out of danger yet. Even though Wei Changfeng is worried about his sister, he has no time to say anything. He can only follow Wei Qing and run with all his strength in the forest, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
He, Lu Yi, and Lu Qi were just ordinary people, and Lu Yi and Lu Qi were still women. Not only could they not go very fast with the three of them, but the noise they made while running would startle the birds from far and near, let alone Pay attention to whether there are pursuers behind you - even if there are, as long as the pursuers don't shout loudly and are disturbed by the heavy footsteps around them, it will be impossible to detect them.
Therefore, no one knew whether the man in black was chasing him, and they did not dare to stop, so they could only run as hard as they could!
After running at full strength in the forest for a moment, both Wei Changfeng and Wei Qing felt tired. They were helplessly slowing down when they saw a gray figure not far ahead! The whole group was shocked, and Wei Qing was almost about to slash him with a knife. Fortunately, Wei Changying had sharp eyes and was familiar with the person coming, so he shouted in surprise: "Uncle Jiang!"
It's Jiang Zheng.
This old guard is worthy of being a bodyguard for generations. Even the general manager of the Wei family covets his ancestral martial arts and the experience accumulated from generation to generation, and deliberately recruits him into the Wei family. When he is suddenly attacked, he is not only the first to react , and kicked over the carriage nearby to protect the guard commander Ying in the carriage from the stray arrows. Moreover, no one from his own side or the enemy could have imagined that he had actually sneaked into the forest in just a few waves of arrows!
Not only that, Jiang Zheng also figured out the hiding places of all the archers during the short time that Wei Changying and Wei Qing resisted the thieves, and killed them all without alerting the thieves outside the forest!
And... In just a moment, Jiang Zheng escaped from the official road and reached the woods. He didn't even tell them when he found them, he even walked ahead of them!
Seeing such an experienced and powerful guard, although his robes could not be said to be as clean as new, they were neat and tight. Even Wei Changfeng felt like he had seen the backbone of his body. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Uncle Jiang, what are those things?" people… "
His words were quickly interrupted by Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I ask the eldest lady to attract the attention of the thief with a bow and arrow after he succeeded, and then take advantage of the opportunity to quickly retreat into the forest and walk away?" Is it better to be as far away as possible? My subordinates have their own way of catching up with the eldest lady in this forest, and at the same time, they are also trying to clean up the eldest lady’s troubles and hide her whereabouts... Why doesn’t the eldest lady listen to my subordinates’ words and still stay here to wait?”
These words made everyone's hearts tremble. Wei Changying was also stunned, and subconsciously said: "We... we ran for a full moment! Didn't Uncle Jiang come in front of us?"
"What?!" Jiang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he understood and changed his expression, "Maybe the eldest lady doesn't know the road. There are dense trees in the forest, but the eldest lady has gone in a circle!"
"..." At this moment, everyone really didn't know what to say. Wei Chang Ying was unintentionally annoyed and asked urgently: "This place is far from the official road..."
Jiang Zheng stepped forward and grabbed Wei Changfeng. At this moment, he didn't care about the master or servant. He threw Wei Changfeng on his back and said: "It's only within a stone's throw... Don't stay, hurry up, hurry up!"
With Jiang Zheng guiding them, everyone would naturally not make the same mistake of going in circles in the forest to get back to where they came from... and even almost rushed back to the official road to be discovered by the thieves.
Wei Changfeng was carried by Jiang Zheng, but it was impossible for Lu Yi and Lu Qi to be carried by Wei Qing or Wei Chang Ying. However, the forest was dense and dense, and even Jiang Zheng could not walk fast. Lu Yi and Lu Qi understood that the situation was critical at this moment. When Wei Changying took Wei Changfeng to hide in the forest, he remembered to kick them in first, and they were already thinking about the Lord very much. For the sake of servants, it is absolutely impossible to delay the process because of them at this moment - once they are left behind, let the thieves catch them. Just now they dared to tease the captain Ying in front of him, let alone these two maids
In fear, the two maids held up their skirts and hurried along, but they could hardly keep up!
Jiang Zheng walked to a particularly tall ancient tree in the forest, put Wei Changfeng down, listened to the sound for a moment, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "They haven't caught up yet, I can rest for a while."
As soon as these words were said, everyone including Wei Changying felt weak - it is very difficult to travel in such a dense forest, especially when being chased, with a heart hanging on one's mind, and no need for energy and energy. The loss of physical strength is huge.
By this time, everyone felt empty in their stomachs, hungry and thirsty, but there were no ponds or wild fruits around. It was too late to take a break now, let alone go far to find food. It was bad luck to meet the thief. , it’s too late to cry.
Therefore, I adjusted my breath silently and tried my best to regain my strength.
Wei Changfeng was first pulled by Wei Qing, and then Jiang Zheng simply carried him on his back, but his physical strength was not lost. Now that he was let go, he was most concerned about his sister, but he saw that Wei Changying's expression remained calm, but his face was frighteningly pale. Against this look, her eyes were surprisingly bright.
Even in this dark and dense forest, those eyes are as bright as stars. Normally, after running in a hurry, even a normally pale person should have his cheeks dizzy or even flushed. How come Wei Changying still looks like this? Pale? Such anomalies made Wei Changfeng's heart sink, and he couldn't help but ask: "Sister, are you okay?"
Wei Changying glanced at him upon hearing this, his eyes were cold and calm, and he shook his head slowly, but halfway through, Wei Changying didn't know what he thought of, but his face suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth with his hand, and was about to stand up.
The one who was faster than her was Jiang Zheng. He immediately raised his hand, tapped several places on her shoulder as fast as lightning, and said in a deep voice: "Don't vomit! The eldest lady has always been pampered, and when she first encounters a situation of life and death, she will definitely feel flustered and short of breath. , I just killed someone with my own hands... It is understandable that I feel so uncomfortable now! However, we are not out of danger now, especially since we have no water or food. If the eldest lady vomits and leaves traces at this moment, it will be a small thing, but if her strength is reduced, it will be a big deal! So I’m determined not to spit it out! Please bear with me!”
After listening to his words, Wei Changfeng suddenly realized—even Wei Qing, who was rated as mature and prudent by Wei Huan, was at a loss for what happened today! What's more, it's Wei Changying who has always been raised in a boudoir and pampered
Wei Changying, who was pampered by Mrs. Song to the point where he once smashed a cart of jade into pieces just to get her daughter to praise him for his beautiful voice—no matter how martial he was, today was the first time he saw blood! The cruelty in the officialdom would probably change even the most experienced dissenter's face after seeing it... And Wei Changying, in order to protect his younger brother, personally killed the leader of the men in black as soon as he got out of the carriage!
Then he killed another person...
Wei Changying, who has always seen either splendor or exquisite gardens, has never seen anyone kill, let alone kill a chicken in this life - today he saw all his guards and mounts slaughtered in front of him, and was forced to After killing the enemy with her own hands, especially the man in black whom he killed later, the blood of that man is still stuck on Wei Changying's sleeve... Wei Changying can still maintain a calm and collected attitude, all because she has always Suppressing the fear and disgust of facing such a change!
It was also in order to suppress this instinctive fear and nausea that she appeared particularly cold and calm.
But now Jiang Zheng said it was safe for the time being... Wei Changying felt relieved, and his instincts became somewhat uncontrollable.
It's just that she wanted to vomit, but it was impossible. People lose strength after violent vomiting - Wei Changfeng is here, Jiang Zheng has to carry him, if Wei Changying also loses strength, should Wei Qing carry him? Let's not talk about the relationship between men and women. Originally, there were three combatants out of the six people here. Among the three people who needed protection, Lu Yi and Lu Qi could give up at any time. If Wei Changying falls, there will be only two combatants, but one more person needs to be protected!
And if Wei Changfeng is the only one who has to keep up, Jiang Zheng and Wei Qing can alternately carry him...
Therefore, if Captain Wei falls, not only will his traveling speed be greatly reduced, but once he encounters an enemy, his chances of being captured will also be greatly increased!
Wei Changying's face turned red and white, he covered his mouth and his body was trembling slightly. Wei Changfeng looked at her at a loss, his eyes were anxious, but he was helpless and could only murmur in a low voice: "Sister?"
But she saw a ruthless look in Wei Changying's eyes, pressing her throat. After a while, her face turned pale again, but she finally suppressed the nauseating impulse and said tiredly: "That's it."
When she put down her hand, the two fingerprints on her throat were particularly obvious...
Wei Changfeng clenched his fists hard: If he hadn't been too useless, with the eldest sister's skills, she would have been able to quietly enter the forest and escape before the man in black noticed her! But now, it has dragged the eldest sister and her loyal guards into fleeing in fear...
Wei Changfeng had always believed that force was nothing more than trivial skills. What really made a difference was skill, strategy, and the wisdom accumulated after reading tens of thousands of books.
However, at this moment, he understood that powerless wisdom in front of knives and swords... was just a pale joke.
If I can go back alive this time... Wei Changfeng was still thinking, but he heard Jiang Zheng suddenly say to Lu Yi and Lu Qi in an emotionless tone: "You can go!"
"Ah?!" Not only Lu Yi and Lu Chi were shocked, but Wei Changying also subconsciously said: "Uncle Jiang?"
"The tracks we have made along the way are obvious, and the thieves will chase us sooner or later." Jiang Zheng said coldly, "They are almost exhausted now, and we must move faster next! They are determined not to keep up. You can imagine the consequences of staying here! It's better to let them go first. If they are lucky, they may still survive, but if they are not lucky... it will be the same if they fall down. "
He looked at Lu Yi and Lu Qi, who were pale and pleading to Wei Zhangying, and said coldly, "Think about it, now that the eldest lady and the fifth young master are in danger, there is no way they can take care of you." ! When the young lady entered the forest, she didn’t forget to kick you in first. She already showed the love of master and servant! Now, it’s up to you to show your loyalty to the Lord!”
"You two choose a path first. If you are lucky, no thieves will chase you and you will escape with your lives. If so, the ending will be the same as if you followed us. But no matter what, if the eldest lady and the fifth young master can return to Fengzhou , I will give you a generous gift to your family!" Jiang Zheng waved his hand to stop Wei Changying and said in a deep voice, "If you continue to pester the eldest lady, do you expect the eldest lady to carry you forward and fall behind? It's a small matter to be humiliated and die - do you think you can hide it from the master by disregarding the overall situation and the grace that the eldest lady gave you in the past? When the time comes... you can choose for yourself!"
Jiang Zheng had spoken very frankly. He needed Lu Yi and Lu Qi to go first. Firstly, he didn't want to continue carrying burdens on the road. Secondly, he also made things difficult for his pursuers. There were many people chasing them. Even if a few were killed, But there are still many people left.
When they found signs that the people being chased were fleeing separately, they would inevitably divide their troops to pursue them. In this way, they used green clothes and green robes to disperse the pursuers. Although the two maids themselves were weak, they might not be able to disperse them. How long, but it finally reduces the pressure of hunting down the real master.
Maybe he could avoid certain death.
What's more, Jiang Zheng asked Lu Yi and Lu Qi to leave first, which clearly showed that he didn't trust them and was worried that he would leave first or leave at the same time as them and be betrayed to the thieves out of resentment or fear if they saw the direction he was leaving. !
Wei Changying wanted to say something, but looking at Wei Changfeng, he bit his lip and fell silent.
Just as Wei Changfeng valued Wei Qing very much, but if he had to choose between Wei Changying and Wei Qing, he still gave up the loyal Wei Qing and chose his sister; Luyi and Luqi had served Wei Changying since childhood, and they had a master-servant relationship. It is conceivable that for Wei Changfeng's safety, Wei Changying could only acquiesce to Jiang Zheng's words and sacrifice Lu Yi and Lu Qi.
She secretly bit her lip, looked at her hands, and thought sadly: I have worked so hard, but why after I came out of the cabinet... now I can't even keep two maids
But after seeing Jiang Zheng's cold eyes, Wei Changying's heart calmed down - now is definitely not the time to be sad. Many guards have died on the official road, including many descendants of distant branches of the Wei family... They are certainly unbearable. One blow, but no one surrendered and begged for mercy. The sacrifice of these people - if Wei Changfeng cannot return to Ruiyu Hall alive...
No matter how cruel or despicable she is, now she only has this purpose. For this reason, even she can give up her handmaid without hesitation!
- No matter what the means, Changfeng must return to Ruiyu Hall safely! ! ! (To be continued)
