Chapter 325: Still
The horse's hooves were raised high, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.
From wishing he could sever the master-disciple relationship with Wei Changtian to bringing up the latter's bad reputation to scare people.
When Old Zhang said in a menacing voice, "My disciple is Wei Changtian," I thought that these bandits would at least hesitate.
But who would have thought that the bandit leader looked so disdainful.
"Wei Changtian?"
"I've never heard of it!"
"call!"
The heavy broadsword was swung with a rustling sound. The man kicked the horse's belly, ready to kill Old Zhang and then capture Agou back to be a maid.
But at this moment, a slightly younger man beside him suddenly spoke up to stop him:
"Boss! Wait a minute!"
"Um?"
The bandit leader immediately put away his knife and looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Boss, I seem to have heard of Wei Changtian before."
The young man frowned, answered and then turned to ask Old Zhang: "Old man! Is your disciple the Young Master Wei of the Wei family of Daning?!"
"Haha, you're quite knowledgeable."
Old Zhang stood still, his expression very arrogant: "Meeting me here is the opportunity you have been waiting for."
"As long as you escort the two of us out of this desert, and send someone to Feng Yuan to tell my disciple about this, he will definitely send someone to welcome me, and you will certainly get some benefits when the time comes!"
"this"
The young man looked at Old Zhang suspiciously, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally bowed doubtfully.
"Senior, please allow me to discuss this matter with the gang leader."
"No problem!"
"Okay, wait a moment, senior."
“.”
Ignoring Old Zhang, whose demeanor and attire were totally inconsistent, the young man immediately rode his horse to the bandit leader and whispered in his ear:
"Boss, 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 must never kill him."
"But Young Master Wei is extremely powerful. It's unlikely that he would become his disciple."
"How to deal with it is up to the gang leader to decide."
"Um"
“.”
The two finished their discussion quickly.
Feeling seven or eight eyes focused on him again, Old Zhang remained calm on the surface, but his heart was beating fast.
Now the escape technique can no longer be used. What if the gang leader is a fool? Then I will be in trouble this time.
May the Jade Emperor bless you! I hope that the notoriety of that evildoer can scare off these bandits! Old Zhang kept praying in his heart, while the young man on the other side spoke again.
"Senior, we have offended you before. I hope you can forgive us."
Phew! Hearing this, Old Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.
"I have always been broad-minded and will not care about such trivial matters."
Fearing that the other party would bear a grudge against him, Old Zhang expressed his opinion first, and then pretended to ask casually: "How about it? Can you send the two of us away from this desert?"
"This is an easy matter."
The young man nodded: "This place is only a day's walk from Xiyang Prefecture. If you ride a horse, you can get out of the desert in half a day."
"But senior, the thing our leader hates most in his life is being deceived."
"So after we escort you to Xiyang Prefecture, we hope you can send a message to Young Master Wei and ask him to bring someone to pick you up."
"We are all rough people, so I hope you can forgive me for doing this."
“.”
The young man's words sounded nice, but his meaning was equally clear.
I can give you a ride, okay.
But when you arrive, Wei Changtian must come to pick you up in person.
If you are not lying, then we can take this opportunity to ask for some benefits from your apprentice.
And if you lie, we will definitely make you wish you were dead.
To be honest, this gang of horse bandits had a good plan.
In this situation, Old Zhang had no other choice but to pretend to be calm and nodded.
"Okay, let's set off early."
"Yes, please get on the horse, senior."
“.”
Several horse bandits gave up a pony for Lao Zhang to ride, and the rest of them surrounded him in a hidden manner.
Soon, the group set off and slowly ran in one direction.
The yellow sand rolled like yellow waves across the desert.
Agou, who was also riding on a horse, finally had the opportunity to ask Lao Zhang a question she had wanted to ask just now.
"Grandpa, is Brother Changtian still my senior brother?"
“.”
Old Zhang was speechless when he heard this. After a while, he reluctantly "compromised" and said:
"Hmph! That's fine for now!"
Two days later, Huailing Prefecture City.
On the official road outside the city, a dozen riders surrounded a black carriage and galloped past. The group did not enter the city, but continued to rush west.
In the carriage, Wei Changtian had just put the mother and child jade and the "code book" into his arms, and was now holding his chin, wondering what he was thinking about.
Li Wutong, who had been traveling for two days without sleeping, was not sleepy now. Seeing him like this, he asked:
"Master Wei, what happened in Fengyuan?"
"no."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Yan Luo has not appeared in the past two days. Everything is normal."
"oh."
Nodding, Li Wutong knew that Wei Changtian must have been thinking about something else just now.
She smoothed her skirt gently, and then said seriously, "Master Wei, the body of the escort leader surnamed Wang has been found and is now temporarily placed in the charity cemetery in Xiyang Prefecture. I wonder how you would like to arrange it?"
"Um"
Upon hearing that Wang Qian's body had been found, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his head. After a long silence, he slowly replied, "Burn it. Keep his ashes safe. I will take them back to Shuzhou for burial."
“.”
Although not as popular as the cremation system in the previous life, cremation in ancient times was also a mainstream burial method, so Li Wutong was not surprised, but just asked softly: "Is Wang Biaotou from Shuzhou?"
"Yes, his wife and children are in Shuzhou."
"Then why did he come to Fengyuan to seek a way to survive?"
"Because he can't stay in Shuzhou."
"Why is that?"
“.”
Glancing at Li Wutong, Wei Changtian did not continue answering, but just said something in a very low voice.
"Princess, you ask too many questions."
“.”
It was dusk at this time, and the carriage was galloping on the official road. In the distance was a fiery red sunset.
"Humph, I'm not interested either."
Li Wutong curled her lips and stopped asking questions, nor did she look at Wei Changtian.
She pulled open the car curtain and looked out. The orange-red glow sprinkled on her fair neck, as if it was covered with a layer of red gauze.
The carriage fell into silence for a long time until Li Wutong's rapid shout suddenly rang out.
"Master Wei, we found Senior Zhang!"
"Hmm? Where?"
"In Xiyang Prefecture, with a group of horse bandits!"
"ha?"
