It was a warm and sunny day, and Wei Jing stood in front of his sword-making workshop with a big burden on his back, shouting inside: "Dad, I'm leaving!"
Wei Wen had an old cloth rolled up in his hand, holding a red-hot sword blade, and inspected it repeatedly.
When Wei Jing saw his father didn't answer, he shouted again. Wei Wen turned around, smiled slightly, waved to him, and shouted: "Ajing, don't cry and look sad. It hasn't been for a long time. Haven't you always wanted to go out and have a chance?"
Wei Jing said some words to his father again, then turned away, passed by the yard, touched Ah Xi's head and said: "Ah Xi, Ah Xi, I can't bring you up to Lake City this time. You are dead You are old, so stay at home. After next spring, when the matter between dad and Brother Wu is settled, I will come back to see you."
After Wei Jing finished speaking, he drove Ah Xi back to the kennel.
"Ajing, come here..." At some point, Wu Yufu came to the door and shouted weakly.
Wei Jing turned around and saw him. He quickly went up to help him and said, "Brother Wu, your injury is not healed yet. Don't get up and move around!"
"It doesn't matter to me, it's me who is dragging you down..." Wu Yufu handed a square folded with cloth to Wei Jing and said, "Brother Wei has a great reputation, many disciples, and Chuangtianmen as his backer. It should be safe and smooth. But if there is an emergency and I encounter some difficult characters, I will take this blood-stained cloth with me and ask for help from Chuangtianmen Tiejiao Hall. The master of Tiejiao Hall has friendship with me, and I have also been attacked by Wang. Thanks to the master’s kindness, these three brothers are loyal and will definitely protect you.”
Wei Jingqi asked: "Hey, Brother Wu, since you have a deep hatred for Chuangtianmen, why do you have friends from Chuangtianmen?"
Wu Yufu replied: "What's so strange about this? My wealthy past has a close relationship with Chuang Tianmen, and there are some good guys among Chuang Tianmen. Remember, the two entrances of Wushuang Hall and Leopard Hall in Chuang Tianmen, They have the most minions and the worst conduct, so don’t mess with them; the masters of Tiejiao Hall and Yuelin Hall are good people, so their subordinates won’t do anything wrong, but their power is much smaller.”
"Then how should I find the master of the Tiejiao Hall? What's his name?" Wei Jing nodded and asked. He was not willing to let his father arrange for him to seek refuge with his uncle, and he had a vague feeling that this trip would not be peaceful; even if nothing happened, he still felt in his stomach I also suppressed the anger of "I have to make an earth-shattering incident".
"The three masters of Tiejiao Hall are brothers. Their surname is Niu, and their names are very funny. The eldest brother is called Niu Da, the second is called Niu Er, and the third is called Niu San..." Wu Yufu said with a smile, covering his chest and coughing twice. Voice.
"Ah! It's the three guys who sell beef noodles!" Wei Jing said in astonishment, recounting the scene where he and Bei Xiaolu ate noodles at the Niu Family Three Brothers noodle stall on the way back that day.
Wu Yufu pondered for a long time and said: "It is normal for the various halls of Chuangtianmen to fight overtly and covertly, and to have grudges and even fights among the gangs. But Wushuang Hall has a large number of people, and most of the other halls do not want to offend. In short, you Qianqian Be very careful and don’t act rashly unless necessary.”
Wei Jing sighed and said: "Since Brother Wu is so skilled, why don't you take me to the Magic Weapon Competition after you recover from your injuries? Wouldn't it be fun! You have to go alone..."
Wu Yufu raised his head and smiled, touched Wei Jing's head and said, "I'm not going to perform a monkey show for Li Mi. I will go there to kill him. Your father is a good man, and he is willing to help me build a What a great soldier, Takehiro will never forget this kind of kindness..."
After Wu Yufu said this, he actually wanted to kneel down to Wei Jing.
Wei Jing was stunned, and quickly helped Wu Yufu, said goodbye to him, turned around and ran away from home, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
As soon as Wei Jing went out, he saw Mrs. Wen standing in the corner of the alley looking around. When she saw Wei Jing, she hurried over as if she had been waiting for a long time.
She held a letter in her hand, wrapped in silk cloth. She handed the letter to Wei Jing very carefully and said, "A Jing, this time you come to Hu City, if you see A Xue, give this letter to Wei Jing." She, I must bring her back no matter what..."
Wei Jing took the letter, patted his chest and promised, "Mother Wen, don't worry, I will bring sister Yu Xue back."
It turns out that Wen Yuxue received a letter from Laihu City shortly after Wei Jing left. It was from Brother Chen, who left his hometown many years ago. He seemed to be making a name for himself in Laihu City and wanted to meet Wen Yuxue. one side.
Wen Yuxue read Brother Chen's letter and spent two days wandering like a wanderer. She packed her bags late at night, left a letter, and left Xiaoyuan Village.
In the letter left by Wen Yuxue, it was stated that he returned home after meeting Brother Chen once, but there is no news yet.
Mrs. Wen held Wei Jing's arm gratefully, handed him a basket of hot steamed buns and side dishes, and said, "This is for you to eat on the road, and there are snacks in it. I really want to ask you this time..." "
"It smells so good!" Wei Jing took the basket, said goodbye to Mrs. Wen, and headed towards Wanchungang. After walking for half a day and waiting for a long time at Wanchungang, Wei Jing finally caught a ride on a multi-carriage. Wei Jing even recognized the driver who asked him to pay more for Ah Xi's carriage.
After getting in the car, Wei Jing opened the cloth on the basket, grabbed the steamed buns and side dishes and started eating. He looked at the sudden change in the sky outside the window, and saw thick clouds rolling in the sky, as if it was going to rain at any time.
Wei Jing recalled what his father said a few days ago, the night he returned to Xiaoyuan Village, about how he met his mother at the Heroes Conference, and why the Yang and Wei families were at odds...
As he was thinking about it, a sudden gust of cold wind hit his face. Wei Jing's heart was shaken, and his uneasiness became even stronger.
He remembered that when his father told him about the past that night, he had asked him to treat his uncle as his father. Although he never mentioned it later, he only said that after surviving the magic weapon competition, everything would be intact as before - but what if he couldn't survive it?
Wei Jing suddenly remembered that Wu Yufu had wanted to kneel down to him when he said goodbye to him. Thinking about it now, he must have felt deeply guilty.
"Dad is going to build a weapon for Brother Wu and let him assassinate Li Mi. If Li Mi finds out about this... then it has nothing to do with dozens of soldiers. Li Mi, the bastard, will definitely make dad angry..."
Wei Jing finally understood that his father was also determined to give it a try to repay his old friend's kindness.
Wei Jing finished eating the steamed buns and side dishes and buried his head in his arms, his mind in confusion.
The multi-carriage clattered forward. Late night came and went, and he came to the bustling Laihu City again.
He changed into a pony carriage at the station and continued on his way. The sky was still dense with clouds, and drizzle fell from time to time.
At noon, we finally arrived at our destination—Weijia Jianzhuang.
After Wei Yunwu passed away and Wei Wen fled to Xiaoyuan Village, Wei Changqing and Wei Kailai also separated their families. Each led the Wei family students who were close to them to establish their own Wei family swordsmanship.
Wei Changqing's Wei Family Jianzhuang has a solemn white exterior wall. In the huge courtyard, some students are talking to each other.
A young servant reported to the inner hall for Wei Jing. Wei Jing looked around in the large courtyard and saw several simple and elegant wooden houses, which were schools for teaching sword-making knowledge, halls for receiving guests, etc.
In the distance, there is a row of low buildings with chimneys and the sound of forging iron coming from them. They must be the sword-making workshop of the Wei Family Sword Manor.
