The horse's hooves were raised high, bringing up a piece of yellow sand.
From wanting to sever the master-disciple relationship with Wei Changtian, to using the latter's bad reputation to scare people.
When Lao Zhangtou said angrily, "My disciple is Wei Changtian," I thought that this group of horse bandits would have to hesitate.
But who would have thought that the leader of the horse bandits would have a look of disdain.
"Wei Changtian?"
"I've never heard of it!"
"call!"
The heavy broadsword was swung with a whirring sound, and the man clamped the horse's belly. He was immediately ready to make Lao Zhangtou's head fall to the ground, and then take Agou back to be a little maid in the village.
But at this moment, a slightly younger man beside him suddenly stopped him and said:
"Gang leader! Wait!"
"Um?"
The leader of the horse bandits immediately put away his knife and looked confused: "What's wrong?"
"Gang Leader, I seem to have heard of Wei Changtian before."
The young man frowned, and after answering, he turned to ask Lao Zhangtou: "Old man! Your apprentice...is Mr. Wei of the Wei family in Daning?!"
"Haha, you have some knowledge."
Lao Zhangtou stood still, with a very arrogant expression: "Meeting me here is an opportunity you have been waiting for."
"As long as you escort the two of us out of the Western Desert Gobi, and then send someone to Fengyuan to inform my disciples about this, he will definitely have people come to greet me, and you will naturally benefit from it!"
"this......"
The young man looked at Lao Zhangtou suspiciously, weighed it in his mind, and finally handed it over doubtfully.
"Senior, let me discuss this matter with the gang leader."
"No problem!"
"Okay, senior, wait a moment."
"..."
No longer paying attention to Lao Zhangtou, whose imposing manner was completely inconsistent with his dress, the young man immediately patted his horse and came to the side of the bandit leader, and whispered in the latter's ear:
"Gang leader, Wei Changtian is the Daning man who defeated General Meng Shi in Yuanzhou with one move."
"If what this old man said is true, then we will never be able to kill him."
"But Mr. Wei's strength is extraordinary, so it doesn't look like he would be a disciple of this person."
"It's up to the gang leader to decide how to deal with it..."
"Um......"
"..."
In a short time, the two of them finished their discussion.
Feeling the seven or eight eyes focused on him again, Lao Zhangtou remained calm on the surface, but he was beating a drum in his heart.
Now the escape technique can no longer be used again. If the gang leader is a fool, then he will really fall into trouble this time.
Please bless the Jade Emperor! I hope the bad reputation of that villain can scare these horse bandits!
Old Zhangtou kept praying in his heart, while the young man on the other side also spoke again.
"Senior... I have offended many of you before, and I hope you can forgive me, senior."
call!
Hearing these words, Old Zhangtou breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have always been broad-minded and don't care about such trivial matters."
Afraid that the other party would hold grudge against him, Lao Zhangtou expressed his stance first, and then pretended to ask casually: "How about it? Can you send us two away from this desert?"
"This matter is easy to handle."
The young man nodded: "This place is only a day's walk from Xiyang Mansion. If you ride a horse in half a day, you can get out of the desert."
"But senior, what our gang leader hates most in this life is to be deceived."
"So after I escort senior to Xiyang Mansion, I hope that senior can send a message to Mr. Wei and ask him to bring someone to pick him up."
"We are all rough people. I hope you will forgive me for acting like this."
"..."
The young man's words sounded nice, and his meaning was equally clear.
I'll give you a ride, okay.
But when you get there, Wei Changtian will have to pick you up personally.
If you didn't lie, then we can take this opportunity to ask for some benefits from your apprentice.
And if you lie, then we will definitely make it impossible for you to live or die.
To be honest, these horse bandits made a pretty good plan.
In this situation, Lao Zhangtou had no choice but to pretend to be calm and nod.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as possible."
"Yes, senior, please mount your horse."
"..."
Several horse bandits gave up a pony for Lao Zhang to ride on, while the rest of the gang quietly circled around.
Soon, the group of people started running slowly in one direction.
The yellow sand rolls like yellow waves across the desert.
Agou, who was also riding on the horse, finally had the opportunity to ask Lao Zhang the question she had wanted to ask just now.
"Grandpa, is Brother Changtian still my senior brother?"
"..."
When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he was immediately speechless. After a while, he reluctantly "compromised" and said:
"Huh! That's all for now!"
...
...
Two days later, Huailing Fucheng.
On the official road outside the city, more than a dozen horsemen and a black carriage passed by at high speed. The group did not enter the city, but continued to rush westward.
On the carriage, Wei Changtian had just put the mother-in-law jade and the "code book" into his arms, and was dragging his chin and wondering what he was thinking.
Li Wutong, who had been driving for two consecutive days without sleeping a wink, was not sleepy now. Seeing his appearance, he asked aloud:
"Mr. Wei, what happened to Fengyuan?"
"no."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Yam Luo hasn't appeared in the past two days, everything is as usual."
"oh."
Nodding, Li Wutong certainly knew that Wei Changtian must have been thinking about something else just now.
She gently smoothed the pleats of her skirt, and then said seriously: "Mr. Wei, the body of the bodyguard named Wang has been found, and is now temporarily placed in the Yizhuang of Xiyang Mansion. I wonder how you want to place it?
"
"Um......"
Hearing that Wang Qian's body had been found, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his head and remained silent for a while before slowly answering:
"Burn him and keep his ashes. I will take them back to Shuzhou for burial."
"..."
Although it is not as popular as the cremation system in previous lives, cremation in ancient times can be regarded as a mainstream burial method, so Li Wutong was not surprised and just asked softly:
"Is Mr. Wang a native of Shuzhou?"
"Yes, his wife and children are all in Shuzhou."
"Then why did he come to Fengyuan to find a way to survive?"
"Because he can't stay in Shuzhou."
"Why is this?"
"..."
After glancing sideways at Li Wutong, Wei Changtian did not continue to answer, but said something in a low voice.
"Princess, you are asking too much."
"..."
It was dusk at this time, the carriage was galloping on the official road, and in the distance was a fiery red sunset.
"Huh, I'm not interested either."
Li Wutong curled his lips and stopped asking, and he stopped looking at Wei Changtian.
She opened the car curtain and looked out. The orange-red glow shone on her white neck, as if it was covered with a layer of red gauze.
The car fell into silence for a long time, until Li Wutong's urgent shout suddenly sounded.
"Master Wei, we found Senior Zhang!"
"Huh? Where?"
"In Xiyang Mansion, with a group of horse bandits!"
