"How is it?" After walking for half a day, Zhang Yi looked at a field and asked without looking back.
Wu Gen swallowed hard, "Could it be that this is the case here and no one takes care of it?"
"Who cares, you, me, the court, the gentry? This is the case in the entire Yicheng County. Everyone is accustomed to it, from birth to death. Who will break this order, and who has the ability to break the old habits." Zhang Yi's tone was a bit aggressive, "The bastard you just beat so cruelly was extremely kind compared to others. At least he didn't force anyone to go out to work in such weather."
Wu Gen remained silent, somewhat doubting what he had done today.
"If the Bu Lu Weng family is killed, their property will surely be targeted by others, and those common people who could still live a little life will just come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.
There are some things in the world that you should take a closer look at and not act willfully on the surface. Let there be more noble people who are a little gentler. This is a great good. Don’t be like those who talk about benevolence and righteousness, talk about scriptures and seize seats. Standing on the commanding heights of morality and pointing fingers, this not only does not help matters, but actually harms more people’s lives. "
"I've learned a lesson." Wu Gengong handed over his hand. In a moment of righteous indignation today, I almost made a big mistake. Therefore, when doing things, you still need to look at it a little more and think more about it. Don't be condescending and act arbitrarily, lest you do bad things with good intentions.
When they reached a crossroads, Wu Gengong handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your advice. Please stay. I acted recklessly just now. If I don't act carelessly for the rest of my life, I'll say goodbye."
Zhang Yi smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be like this, my heart is good after all, but my methods are a bit cruel." As he said this, he glanced at Chu Ji intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Gen knew that Chu Ji's disguise of pretending to be a boy was spotted by him, so he didn't explain anything, got on the mule and went along the way.
After walking for two days, we saw that we were almost passing through Yicheng County. After passing Yichun County, turn to Yanyang and follow the Tuoshui River, a tributary of the Yaojiang River, to enter the Zhujuan Kingdom.
Continuous hills appeared on the horizon ahead. These hills were the boundary between the two counties. Even though Yicheng County is densely populated, it is somewhat sparse here. Most of them are tea farmers. The famous Jade Narcissus tea from Zhao State is produced here.
Although these hills are not high, they are difficult to pass. There are many rocks and thorns on the hills, so crops cannot grow here. The road is also difficult, and there are only a few tea roads trampled by mules to pass.
Wu Gen and Chu Ji were walking on one of the mountain roads at this time. There are small pits on the pavement stone slabs, which are the marks left by the hooves of the mules and horses transporting tea over many years.
The stone walls beside the road were wet, and crystal drops of water dripped from time to time. Finally, they gathered together to form a spring stream, gurgling downward.
Due to the abundant water vapor, clouds and mist are all year round on the mountain, winding through the mountains. Such a unique environment is very suitable for the growth of tea trees, which created the famous Jade Narcissus.
"Brother, you are feeling better." Chu Ji's voice rang out.
Wu Gen carefully brushed away the dew from the tip of her hair and comforted her: "It's almost okay. Don't worry. After passing this mountain, we will arrive at Yanyang County. When we reach Zhujuan Kingdom, we will have a good rest."
Along the way, we traveled day and night, with no time to rest. The injury from the lightning strike never healed. As long as the blood surge was more intense, the pain would be unbearable.
When we reached the top of the mountain, the fog became lighter and the sun shone on our bodies, making us feel much warmer. Next to a mountain spring on the roadside, a tea farmer taking a break from his busy work was scooping water to make tea. Seeing the two of them arriving, they warmly invited them to come forward and taste them.
There is a lot of humidity in the mountains, so drinking more of this tea can dispel cold and relieve dampness. The green soup in the rough black cup is gently rippling, and the aroma of tea is refreshing. After one sip, your whole body becomes warm.
After drinking seven cups of tea, Wu Gen found that the pain caused by the lightning strike in his body had eased somewhat, and he couldn't help but become interested in the Jade Narcissus.
Just as he was about to drink again, the tea farmer with a red face and bare feet stopped him, "Although Jade Narcissus is good, don't drink too much. Seven cups is appropriate. After seven cups, you should have some refreshments to avoid harming your body." ." He said and handed over a few rice cakes.
The two were chatting when Chu Ji suddenly raised his head and said with some confusion: "That big bird is so weird."
Wu Gen's heart moved, he raised his head and looked upward, through the clouds
In the mist, a strange big bird was circling in the sky.
It is better to say that it is a bird than a small boat. There is a bird head on the bow, and the dark hull looks very strange. It was also the first time for Wu Gen to see such a strange ship. He squinted his eyes and looked up.
The strange ship flew lower and lower, and the vicious bird's head was clearly visible.
"Not good." Suddenly Wu Gen shouted secretly, grabbed Chu Ji and was about to run down the mountain. Just now, a head popped out from the side of the boat. The mask on his face was very familiar. Who else could it be if he wasn't a secret guard of Jinchun Palace.
Just as he was about to take a step, Wu Gen suddenly stopped and blocked Chu Ji under him.
If he ran away at this time, wouldn't he be exposed? Besides, how could a mule escape this strange ship? His hands tightly grasped the handle of the broken knife, and his body tensed, just hoping that the person on top would not come down.
Fearing what might happen, the strange ship flew lower and lower, gradually reaching the top of everyone's heads.
"I can't run away." Wu Gen frowned and signaled Chu Ji to get ready.
"Boom", a masked secret guard jumped from the ship, holding a broad sword and looking at everyone coldly. Finally, his eyes fell on Wu Gen and Chu Ji.
The secret guard took a step back, screaming, and another secret guard looked out, preparing to jump off the ship.
Before the opponent could fall, a black shadow flashed past, and Wu Gen pounced on the hidden guard who had landed earlier like a bird of prey. At this time, the opponent must not be allowed to form a pincer attack.
The Dark Guard is an underground force that King Jinchun has painstakingly managed, and is only under the command of one person. These people are either martial arts masters or practicing strangers, all with extraordinary abilities. What's particularly difficult is that these people never show face when they take action. They rarely fight alone, but mostly with the cooperation of several people.
Among them are both Qi practitioners and warriors, and some are even mixed with orcs or celestial beings. After years of training, they have a tacit understanding of each other, and they have corresponding means for both long-range and close combat.
This combination is even more powerful than a simple martial artist or Qi practitioner. Generally speaking, for the same number of opponents, as long as their strength is not much different, the hidden guard will win, and can even counterattack the more powerful opponent. This is the trump card in Zhao Chang's hand and will not be dispatched easily.
This time Wu Gen fled and sent so many secret guards, which showed that Zhao Chang had serious murderous intentions.
The swords met, and the secret guard turned out to be a martial arts master with many years of experience. The broad sword in his hand was made of an unknown material. It buzzed and trembled, and it actually canceled out all the first three cuts of Tianluo. It was like a knife cutting on cotton, and it was useless. Force.
Seeing that the opponent blocked a blow and his own moves were out of date, Wu Gen had no choice but to ignore the pain, secretly force his blood, and manage to deliver the fourth blow.
With one blow, Wu Gen's arms went numb and his throat felt nauseated. His opponent was definitely not weaker than him. Moreover, the internal injuries caused by lightning strikes these days have been difficult to remove, which is why they dare not rush into the Five Slashes.
The two of them were slightly misaligned, but they stepped forward at the same time. It seems that the opponent is also a good fighter. If he retreats at this time, his momentum will be weak. With one wave rising and the other rising, he will inevitably be defeated.
After a round of fighting, Wu Gen couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This is just an ordinary secret guard. If there are so many masters hidden in the palace, what does King Jinchun want to do? Fortunately, he escaped from the palace early, otherwise he would have been killed in the future.
But right now, if you can't defeat your opponent, you will still be dead.
Wu Gen was anxious in his heart. He looked at the other secret guard who was already running towards him after landing. He tried to fight against the aggravation of his internal injuries and executed the fifth level slash of Xizhao.
The air flow on the top of the mountain stagnated, and a sense of coolness spread. The hero's doomsday, but unwilling to sink, the tragic meaning of fighting hard before death, instantly penetrated the hearts of the people present.
A brilliant red light bloomed and gradually formed an arc. In the view of the sword-wielding secret guard, the red arc was like a life-threatening rope, slowly being pulled around his neck, but he could not move.
All this was said in a long-winded way, but in the eyes of others, it only took a moment, and Wu Gen was already at the side of the sword-wielding secret guard. At this time, even if another secret guard stepped forward with all his strength, it was difficult to save his companion.
With a muffled cry, at the moment of life and death, the sword-wielding secret guard tried his best to suppress the opponent's strange sword intention. The broad sword was erected in front of him, hoping to block the opponent's blow.
The broken knife fell, pierced the opponent's Gangqi, and landed on the broad sword.
The broad sword trembled sharply, trying to relieve the overwhelming force.
Yue's overwhelming momentum. The sword body swung at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the amplitude became larger and larger. With a click, the hard broad sword actually broke into two pieces.
The secret guard's eyes turned red, and blood seeped out from under his skin under the huge shock.
Although the broad sword has been broken, it still blocked the incoming force of the sword. The secret guard holding the sword was decisive. He threw away the broken sword, jumped forward, and hugged Wu Gen regardless of his injuries.
Wu Gen was in a hurry. It would be fine if it was a one-on-one fight. There was a secret guard behind him. The broken knife fell down and pierced the back of the secret guard.
At this moment, Wu Gen's vision went dark, and a net made of unknown material came out and landed on himself and the secret guard.
The net is extremely tough and has thin barbs on it. As soon as the stabbing penetrates the body, the qi and blood in the body become disordered, making it difficult to hold the knife steady.
The secret guard who was stalemate with Wu Gen saw this and urged, "Hurry, kill him, I can't hold on anymore."
The secret guard who threw the net leaned forward, ran towards the two of them quickly, and pulled out a short-edged sword from his arm, with a green light flashing at the tip of the sword.
Wu Gen was hugged tightly at this time and wrapped in the net. When he saw the other person running towards him, he was anxious and slammed his head against the secret guard who was hugging him.
Even though the other party was in pain, he still refused to let go, instead he kept laughing.
When I was at my wits' end, a soft chant came up, "Pengshan is separated by thousands of layers."
A mountain-shaped mist appeared out of thin air above the running secret guards. As soon as the object appeared, it quickly solidified, and a heavy feeling came, making everyone present breathless.
This heaviness starts from the bottom of my heart and affects the physical body. It is invisible but tangible.
The running secret guard groaned as he was suppressed and tried to turn around to avoid it. But after turning in several directions, the feeling of being suppressed became stronger and stronger. This method is different from the real thing. There is no way to avoid it, and it is impossible to avoid it. It is like being connected to your own body, and you are destined to be hit by it. .c
I realized clearly in my heart that I had met a master.
In desperation, the secret guard had no choice but to throw away the knife in his hand. With a loud roar, scaly hard objects appeared on his body, his body swelled several times, and even his face became elongated.
His hands turned into sharp claws and stretched into the invisible fog, actually holding on to the falling fog.
It was obvious that this was an orc. He didn't know what kind of blood he had, but he was extremely strong and his body became extremely hard.
"Heavy as a thousand pieces." There was another soft moan, and the secret guard felt that the huge force on his arms had increased more than ten times, and his body was slowly being bent, and his whole body made an overwhelmed creaking sound.
Finally, with a scream, the secret guard was pinned to the ground and unable to move. Only his exposed feet twitched from time to time.
Seeing that the threat was lifted, Wu Gen was overjoyed. He simply hugged the secret guard beneath him and hit him with a headbutt. Finally, the body of the secret guard beneath him became limp, and the hands holding Wu Gen's body dropped.
With a hula, his eyes lit up, and the net covering his body was torn off. Wu Gen looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yi standing in front of him.
