Wu Gen slapped himself in the face as he ran, feeling annoyed for his carelessness and blind confidence.
Even when he killed Heita Songhan, he never encountered such violent revenge. But killing a Heita Cheng was like poking a hornet's nest. The Heita family mobilized all the small families under their rule and began a frantic search like searching for water in a mountainous area.
Thinking of the people wearing bright armor he had seen these days, as well as the white bull style in Sha Zhimo's hand, how could Wu Gen not know that this Lan Yan was related to the Hulan family, because on the Hulan family's emblem, There is a white cow.
This also explains that the Heita family will put down everything, and the other small families will also give up their thoughts of taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and join in the search together.
At this time, Wu Gen did not dare to run back to his stronghold on Zuoheng Road. Lan Yan didn't know his relationship with the Fearless Army. If he returned hastily, if the other party saw any clues and led trouble to his own territory, all the hard work he had done before would be wasted overnight.
After all, no matter how much trouble the Fearless Army puts in front of them, to the aloof Hulan family, it is just a riot like banditry. There shouldn't be too many such things every year. Just the conflicts between various small families, there are hundreds if not thousands of similar things.
If the tax-rich Hengmen Port is not in chaos, the Hulan family will not be particularly concerned about the activities of the Fearless Army. What do so many thousands of families do for food. Therefore, as long as Wu Gen doesn't let the other party connect him with the Fearless Army, Chu Xi and the others will be safe.
Wu Gen ran all the way north, running in the opposite direction to Hengmen Port, stopping from time to time to rob one or two small families and show his face to inform the Hulan family or Heita family of his movements.
This is a very dangerous move, which is equivalent to banging a gong to tell others where you are. After escaping from Lan Yan, Wu Gen fought with people more than seventy times along the way, sometimes even three times a day. The most dangerous time was when Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo were blocked by several masters of the fourth and fifth realms. If Sha Zhimo hadn't fished out Wu Gen despite his injuries, he would have been furious on the spot.
Slowly Wu Gen also discovered that those who were chasing Sha Zhimo were often merciful and were unwilling to use many lethal methods. As for myself, I wish I could slap him to death without even keeping him for interrogation.
In the end, both Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo were covered in scars, especially Wu Gen, who had been injured several times and his body had actually reached its limit.
Although it is said that a martial artist must practice lively, fight with many people, and find opportunities to break through between life and death, the necessary dead training and hard training are still required. If you just fight blindly without accumulation, your own essence will be exhausted sooner or later.
The principle of thick accumulation and thin development is applicable to people and countries.
Finally, Wu Gen rushed out of Bailing Province and reached the boundary of Yulu Province. In fact, as we get to the later stages, there are fewer people chasing them. It seems that the Hulan family has also lost interest in these two little thieves. It's just that some small families are greedy for power and sometimes send people to harass them.
On this day, Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo supported each other and emerged from the endless woods. This forest was huge and ferocious beasts gathered in the forest. Wu Gen was worried every day. After trekking for half a month, he finally saw the edge of the forest.
When he came out of the forest, Wu Gen couldn't help but be startled. There was a huge lake in front of him.
The lake is huge, the water is clear and sparkling. Standing on the shore, you can't see the edge at a glance. It looks like the sea. After searching the surroundings carefully, there was no trace of anyone. It was a good place to recuperate.
Sitting by the lake, watching the cold lake water reflecting the skylight, Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. He and Sha Zhimo lay on the sand by the lake, looking at the blue sky without saying a word.
He was so tired that Wu Gen felt that his body was about to fall apart. If I don't rest, I will really collapse, from the inside out.
A fishing osprey flew by and looked at the two big characters lying on the clean beach by the lake. It chirped dissatisfiedly and dropped a piece of bird droppings to show its dissatisfaction.
The tide laps rhythmically against the lake shore, like a lullaby from a loving mother lulling her baby to sleep. Wu Gen's mind was relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while. He didn't think about anything else, even if the pursuer cut him down, he would admit it.
I don't know how long it took, but Wu Gen suddenly felt his nose was itchy, sneezed loudly, and woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw a little crab holding its two claws high and standing in an angry demonstration on its face.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Wu Gen pushed the crab aside, not wanting to move at all. The sky was crimson, and the sunset was already spreading out on the dark blue sky.
The familiar snoring of Sha Zhimo came from beside him. He had slept for such a long time, Wu Gen muttered, but he didn't want to get up at all.
Suddenly, a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the vast sky.
Wu Gen was startled, his body instinctively bounced up, and hit the man's face heavily. It hurt and screamed at the same time, frightening the little crab on the side so much that it turned around and burrowed into the sand.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing? Scary people will scare them to death." Wu Gen rubbed his nose with a look of resentment on his face and shouted at the young man opposite who was also covering his face and jumping around.
"Who would have thought that you would wake up suddenly? I was still thinking about whether you were dead." The young man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and complained, "Speaking of which, you are so tough-skinned. The collision really hurt."
"Hey, just be glad that you saved your life today. I like killing people in my dreams. If I hadn't been sleeping too deeply, I wouldn't have thought you would have been chopped into several pieces by now." Wu Gen was a little dissatisfied, because you were the one who got in first. Good or not. Suddenly, Wu Gen stopped complaining and his expression gradually became serious.
As a martial artist in the Four Realms, even if he is asleep, he will still sense movement beside him. This man in a white shirt came to him. Not only did he not notice it at all, but Sha Zhimo also didn't react at all, which was a bit strange.
Calmly, Wu Gen grabbed the broken knife and said, "May I ask what I call this little brother and why he is here."
The young man took out a white gauze towel, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Judging from the situation, you must have suffered a lot of injuries."
Wu Gen sat on the ground and nodded, "I met some enemies, so I had no choice but to escape all the way here."
The young man squatted down, but did not sit directly on the beach like Wu Gen. "A human race, being chased by others, can still come here safely. You really have some skills."
Wu Gen glanced at the other party alertly, and it was only then that he really saw the other party's appearance clearly. This man was born quite handsome, with a fair, oval-shaped face, which looked as if it had been powdered, and two pairs of black eyes that lingered around, making him beautiful and solemn. It's just that the eyebrows are a little heavier, and they fly like swords into the black hair under the temples, and the cheekbones are a little clearer, giving him a more heroic look.
"Is it possible that your Excellency is also here to hunt me down?" Wu Gen's face looked ugly.
"Haha." The young man chuckled, and the laughter was a little shrill, "No one gave me money, so why should I chase you? Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, my name is Helian Yuhao, you call me Yuhao That’s it.”
"Wu Gen." Looking at Sha Zhimo, who had woken up, Wu Gen was speechless. This was obviously a woman's name, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the other person's throat and chest.
"Your servant?" Yuhao noticed Wu Gen's gaze, put her arms on her knees, just blocking her chest, and pursed her lips at Shazhimon who stood up in confusion.
"No, it's just a companion." Wu Gen looked away to avoid being stabbed. The other party's throat is smooth, no wonder the speech is so weird, it turns out to be a female disguised as a man.
"I heard that there was a villain in front of me who offended the Hulan family, but it was you who did it." Yu Hao's big eyes flashed, staring at Wu Gen curiously, and suddenly she laughed again: "Don't worry, here It’s Yulu Province, and the Hulan family can’t reach it. And I happen to be not short of money, so naturally I won’t covet the reward money.”
Looking at the other party's expression of "I know it all", Wu Gen knew that there was no point in hiding it anymore, and frankly admitted: "Yes, it was me who did it, but it was just a misunderstanding. They used their power to bully others."
Yuhao raised her head and laughed, her white teeth shining.
Suddenly, he felt that he was a little embarrassed, and quickly covered his mouth, "I'm sorry, I heard that the Hulan family was unlucky, and I was a little happy. Especially because the rumor said that you kidnapped the most incompetent youngest son Hulan Fuyan. , I’ll be even happier.”
Wu Gen's head exploded with a bang, and he sat there in shock, dumbfounded. It turns out that this person called Lan Yan is really from the Hulan family, and he is the youngest in the family. No wonder there is such a large force and people are sent to chase him all the way.
On second thought, that’s not right either. If the other party really wanted to capture him, he might send a few more masters, or send out sharp soldiers to round him up, so why bother letting some small families take action like a sheep shitting.
Moreover, this Lan Yan, or maybe Hulan Fuyan, seemed to be quite skilled in chopping firewood and cooking along the way, and he didn't act like a nobleman at all. Because of this, Wu Gen slowly relaxed his vigilance towards him.
Until he met Yu Hao, Wu Gen still thought that Lan Yan might be related to the Hulan family, but he was by no means an important role. Therefore, later on, the arrest of himself was slowly relaxed, and he did not use all his strength.
"Hulan Fuyan likes to play the flute." Wu Gen was a little hesitant, but he still asked one more question out of worry.
"Giggle." Yu was so funny that she accidentally sat on the beach while dancing. Pointing at Wu Gen, he smiled so hard that he couldn't even speak.
After a long time, he managed to stop his laughter and said, "It turns out you did it. Hulan Fuyan really fell into your hands. This idiot, I heard that he cooked for you every day during the period when he was arrested. Doing laundry and waiting for bedtime is a big deal.
But you are right, he is very arty on weekdays, playing with his broken jade flute all day long, and even gave himself the title of Mr. Zhuzhen. "
Wu Gen's face suddenly darkened, "Hey, where did you hear these dirty things? They are purely false accusations. I have a daughter-in-law. If word spreads about it, how will I explain it when I get home?"
Although he was angry, Wu Gen was not rude. Although this woman named Yu Hao doesn't have any airs on her face, she can't hide her pride in her heart. She also calls Hulan Fuyan by his first name, which shows that she has an extraordinary background.
"Forget it, these are all hearsay. You are a very interesting person, I like you very much. Once you get here, don't worry, the Hulan family can't reach here yet, and they don't dare to reach here." Yu So he stood up and put his hands behind his back, which seemed a bit heroic.
"As for the embroidered pillow Hulan Fuyan, there is no need to worry. His birth was just an accident. The head of the family was lucky enough to be born to a maid in the family. He was not welcomed since he was a child and did not even have a servant. This time You were arrested by the Hulan family because you lost their face. Who will remember these things when the limelight passes in a few days?"
Wu Gen squinted his eyes and looked at the other party carefully. This girl was not good at squatting down, but when she stood up, her figure was still quite graceful. Just when I was about to say something joking, an old man's voice suddenly came from far away, "Hey, it's getting late. Come back and cook."
