In the barren mountains, there are gloomy trees and thunderclouds rolling in, making a muffled sound.
Heavy rain came from nowhere and poured down.
In a dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains.
Guan Li, Guan Qing and Yang Jie rushed into the Taoist temple in embarrassment.
Coming from the mountains and forests, if you want to enter the Taoist temple, you have to go around a circle of stone steps.
The three of them ran away all the way, almost losing their way, but it suddenly started to rain halfway.
It hasn't rained in a while, but it suddenly started raining at this stall.
The three of them were worried about getting caught in the rain and getting sick. In addition, it was difficult to trace their footprints in the heavy rain. After running such a long distance, even if someone chased them, they would not be able to find their way.
Moreover, it was raining heavily. With their physical constitution, if they were to run away in the rain in such a hurry and tired state, they might not be killed by the pursuers later, but would contract an illness and have a fever and die. That would be called an injustice.
Therefore, entering a Taoist temple to take shelter from the rain becomes the first priority.
The Taoist temple is divided into two parts: the upper part and the lower part. The upper part is built on a higher platform. The several bungalows connected together all have leaky roofs, which cannot protect them from the heavy rain.
Only a small hall in the lower part, where the statues of gods are worshiped, is protected from the rain.
Guan and the other three rushed into the small hall panting and sat down in the corner.
The originally sultry weather temperature quickly cooled down under the heavy rain. The three of them were all soaked and felt shivering all over.
Guan Qing took out flint and planned to light a fire, but unfortunately there were not many materials around to light a bonfire.
The branches and leaves were all wet from the rain.
In vain, he piled a pile of wet branches and leaves together and lit them with tinder several times, but nothing caught them.
"When is it?" He threw away the flint and tinder in frustration, sat down on the ground, and looked at the heavy rain outside the small hall gate.
"I don't know...but we should be able to get rid of the pursuers temporarily. With that person's help." Yang Jie answered in a low voice while arranging her wet hair.
"Old thief Chen Jun, from now on, our Guan family will kill him!" Guan Qing suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
He has been well-fed and well-fed since he was a child, but he has never suffered like this.
Guan Ming on the side was in a daze. Holding the black piece of medicinal material in her hand, she recognized the origin of this thing.
This is a poison corner she gave to Wei He before.
This poison is called Lvdu Shui. It needs to be ground into fine pieces, poured into boiling water and scalded for ten minutes, then picked up and dried, and mixed with Sophora japonica leaf powder before use.
Before treatment, this poison looks like ordinary gravel to ordinary people. It has no toxicity.
Only those who are very knowledgeable about toxicology can recognize it at once.
And in the entire Feiye City, her Guan family is the only one with this green capital.
"Is it really...?" Guan Ming still felt a little unforgettable.
"Is he not acknowledging me because he is worried about revealing his identity?" She guessed in her heart, feeling grateful and happy at the same time.
Puff puff.
Suddenly, the sound of low footsteps slowly came from outside the small hall door.
It seemed to be the splashing sound of boots stepping on rainwater.
The three of them immediately tensed up and became alert, ready to guard against threats at any time.
The three of them are just ordinary people at this time. In this deep mountain, no matter who they meet, they may be in danger.
Even if they encounter some small beasts, the three of them may fall into trouble.
Not long after, in the vigilant sight of the three people, a tall and burly figure covered in a black raincoat approached the small hall and stood at the gate without entering.
"Guan Ming, it's me."
A deep male voice came in.
When Guan Qi heard the sound, her pretty face suddenly thawed from being tense, and she almost stood up and jumped.
"As expected, it's you! As expected! As expected, it's really you!!"
She was so happy that she rushed towards the door.
"I knew I was right! That boy Cheng Shaojiu really didn't lie to me!" She was so excited that she became a little incoherent.
In such a desolate situation with no one to rely on, you can still meet your friends to help. Perhaps this is the legendary help in times of need.
Guan Ming moved too quickly. He got up and rushed out several times. He just rushed to the door and was blocked by someone coming in.
Guan Li's petite figure of 1.6 meters suddenly collided with Wei He's burly muscles of 1.9 meters.
Her little face hit the bulging muscles hard and was bounced back, making her a little dizzy.
But she didn't take it seriously. She laughed three times and slapped Wei He in front of her hard.
"It's yours! It's yours!! Hahaha! I will change my name to Guan Dachang from now on!!"
There was once a man who recruited many followers, treated them with courtesy, and helped anyone who was in trouble. Later, he was rescued by his followers when he was in trouble, and he became famous. That person is the Lord Mengchang of this world, and his name is Lord Dachang.
Therefore, Guan Ke claimed to be Guan Dachang at this time, thinking that his investment was not in vain after all.
Wei He was speechless. He picked up Guan Qi's back collar with one hand, lifted her up and put her into the small hall to avoid getting wet by the rain.
At the same time, he also stepped into the small hall.
Guan Qing and Yang Jie also stood up. Guan Qing looked confused, but he could tell from his sister's reaction that the person in front of him was a friend, not an enemy.
It's just that he doesn't understand the various religions his sister associates with, so he can only look to Yang Jie for help.
Yang Jie recognized Wei He at a glance, with a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"It turns out it was Mr. Wei He who came to help!" She cupped her hands and bowed seriously to Wei He.
"When Mr. Wei was in danger, he took action with righteousness. I, Yang Jie, will remember this grace of survival!" She didn't mention the Guan family, because she couldn't represent the Guan family. But she could represent herself.
She only has an employment relationship with the Guan family, not a dead soldier, so she said she remembered it.
When Guan Qing on the side heard Yang Jie deliberately mentioning the other party's full name, he immediately understood and also clasped his fists and bowed seriously.
"Thank you for your help. I am Guan Qing, Guan Qi's elder brother. I, the Guan family, will remember this!"
"You're welcome." Wei He said solemnly, "Guan Yu is my good friend. If a friend is in trouble, he should take action within his ability.
Originally, I rushed here as soon as I received the news, but unfortunately, despite all my efforts, I arrived a step too late."
In fact, he arrived very early and followed everyone secretly along the way. When he first saw Chen Jun's three three-level qi and blood masters appear on the stage, he knew he was outmatched, so he didn't show up.
After following in secret all the way, he waited for the Guan family and the three masters to fight and lose both sides. When an opportunity arose, he took action at the critical moment, using his own strength to the best of his ability.
Theoretically speaking, he couldn't defeat Duan Youqian Chen Jun head-on, but that was Chen Jun in normal condition, not Chen Jun who was poisoned and injured and ran at full strength for more than ten miles without rest.
When people are tired, their attention span decreases, and the same goes for Chen Jun.
Moreover, the Guan family has many various plotting methods, which requires him to be highly vigilant and tense for a long time.
As a result, over time, even if you are as strong as Chen Jun, your energy will decrease unconsciously.
When Wei He was poisoning, he not only wore a specially made mask, but also took a variety of detoxifying pills in advance and consciously held his breath, otherwise he would not have to retreat more than ten meters in the end.
The fight between the two lasted for a long time but was short. In less than half a minute, the winner was decided.
This was certainly due to Wei He waiting hard for the opportunity to strike with precision. It was also due to Chen Jun's carelessness after being exhausted and poisoned.
It's a pity that he originally prepared other means but it didn't work.
In addition, Wei He was also quite wary of the Guan family's poison plotting methods. He had gained a good understanding of its dangers along the way.
That's why he deliberately made footsteps just now to remind the people inside that he was here.
At the same time, he only walked to the entrance of the small hall and did not enter rashly to avoid misunderstanding and being attacked by Guan and the other three.
You know, when a person is extremely stressed, any sudden change may cause him to react violently.
"You... are you... one of those people who hosted a banquet for my little sister before!?" Guan Qing finally realized what he was doing, pointed at Wei He and exclaimed with some impoliteness.
This...this...he just saw the fight between Wei He and Chen Jun. They were three-time qi and blood masters.
My little sister invites hidden masters like this even if she invites them to dinner every day? Are there so many three-time Qi-blood masters? Are they everywhere among the people?
Guan Qing came back to his senses and felt shocked.
He looked at his little sister for a while, then at Wei He, and suddenly he felt the urge to go back and hold banquets every day, treat guests and make friends.
"I'm sorry for the late rescue." Wei He said again in a deep voice, clasping his fists.
"I'm sorry, if you hadn't come we would have been doomed." Guan Ming looked a little disappointed.
It was impossible for me to say that I was not sad that the huge industry I had created in Feiye City when I left home was completely wiped out.
Fortunately, she is born with a character that comes back even after all the money is spent. She doesn't value money or anything else, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of money to make friends and attract clients.
"Uncle Wei, you are the uncle now. It's up to you to decide what will happen to the three of us." Guan Qi patted Wei He on the arm, "If you are free, you'd better send me to nearby Qingfeng Mountain, where there are
My team at home will take care of it.”
"Qingfeng Mountain? No problem." Wei He passed there before when he was escorting. It was only a few miles away from here, not far away.
"It's just a farewell. I don't know how long it will be before we meet again." Guan Qi suddenly felt a little sad.
"There will be a day to see each other again." Wei He rubbed Guan Mei's head, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"You have?"
Wei He took out a small wooden box from his body. The red box was opened, and inside were pieces of meat-wrapped crispy cakes that had been cut and placed.
This is the snack Wei Ying made for him.
"Do you know how much a piece of shortbread like this costs?" Wei He pointed at the wooden box and smiled.
"I don't know..." Guan Mei blinked.
"This is made by my family, it's priceless." Wei He also laughed as he said it.
He waved his hand: "It's for you."
Guan Ming himself couldn't help but laugh first.
Guan Qing and Yang Jie on the side had no idea what they were laughing at.
The small hall was filled with a light atmosphere for a moment.
Just as Guan Ming smiled, she suddenly thought of all the soldiers who had died to protect her in the melee just now, and her mood began to feel low again.
She took the wooden box and opened her mouth to speak again.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that more than one person was approaching.
"Friends inside, can you let us come in to take shelter from the rain? The weather changes at any time, and there is no shelter around."
A rough voice came from outside the door.
"The place here is too small, no one can come in." Wei He turned around and said loudly.
"Friends, it's a convenience. When you go out, you should make things convenient for others and make it convenient for yourself. In this wilderness, no one can avoid encountering difficulties..."
"That makes sense." Wei He smiled and suddenly turned around and walked out of the door.
Suddenly there was a burst of intense screams in the heavy rain, and soon there was the sound of a human body falling to the ground and groaning.
"you!?"
The rough voice seemed to want to say something, but stopped abruptly before he could speak.
Not long after, Wei He returned again amid the rain, holding several small leather bags and some rain cloaks in his hands.
He dropped his cloak on the ground, still stained with a little blood, and smiled at the three of them.
"I happened to be worried about going to get some rain gear for you, and here, someone delivered it to my door in person."
"You...you killed them all!?" Guan Qi couldn't help but asked.
She is in charge of such a large industry, and although she is used to all kinds of intrigues and killings, this is the first time she has seen someone like Wei He kill someone while talking and laughing.
