Chapter 461 Old Woman
Half an hour later.
When Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping, who had led the Shu army to break out successfully, looked at each other in a daze, it meant that they already knew what had just happened.
After all, even though it was more than ten miles away, the sword energy falling from the sky was still too obvious, and it was hard not to notice it.
Moreover, Han Zhao had also sent news, confirming that there was indeed a team of tens of thousands of people who intended to intercept the Shu army's breakout route.
So, who exactly defeated the Zhenshan Camp? Liang Zhen immediately sent scouts to investigate.
The result was that there were only more than 4,000 enemy corpses on the battlefield, and no other traces.
This also means that it was not the army that defeated the Zhenshan Camp, but only a small group of experts.
But, what kind of people could kill 4,000 well-trained troops and get away with it?
Who was it that performed that astonishing sword? Just when Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping were confused and didn't know who saved the Shu army's life, Han Zhao's second secret report came again.
And this secret report finally restored the whole process of the incident.
It was not until this time that the two men understood that Wei Changtian had gone alone to delay the Zhenshan Camp, and then a mysterious man killed three thousand soldiers with one sword, and finally succeeded in scaring away the Zhenshan Camp that was about to deal a fatal blow to the Shu Army.
Although the course of events was clear, Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping's expressions did not calm down due to this process. Instead, they became even more shocked.
Because Han Zhao's secret report clearly stated that -
Master Wei is now indeed a third-rank official.
As Wei Changtian's most trusted confidant, Chu Xianping knew very well that the former had only broken through to the fourth level less than a month ago.
So how come this is the third rank?
More importantly, how could someone kill 3,000 soldiers with one sword? These were not 3,000 ordinary people, but 3,000 warriors who were at least at the highest level!
A middle-level warrior of the third grade can defeat a hundred at once, and a top-level warrior of the third grade can defeat a thousand at once. This is a general summary of the combat power of high-level warriors.
In this system, a second-grade master, or even a second-grade late-stage master, can only defeat two thousand enemies at best.
Although two thousand and three thousand do not sound much different, you should know that "two thousand enemies" means that a second-grade master can "fight" against about two thousand low-grade warriors, and it does not mean killing two thousand people.
The meanings of the two words "enemy" and "kill" are completely different, let alone "kill three thousand with one sword"!
Just imagine if there really are such masters in this world, only one of them can completely influence a war.
One sword is worth three thousand, ten swords are worth thirty thousand, no matter how many soldiers there are, they are not enough to kill like this! It's outrageous! This matter is too unbelievable, so it is normal for Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping to have such a reaction now.
But Han Zhao's secret report was so convincing that they couldn't help but believe it. "Master Chu, we still have to find Chang Tian immediately."
After a long silence, Liang Zhen finally spoke: "And he just went through a war, so his current situation may not be very good."
"Well, I'll send someone to look for it."
Nodding, Chu Xianping analyzed: "Since General Han said that he didn't find the young master, it means that the young master should have escaped."
"I just don't know where he went. Maybe he's coming towards us."
"General Liang, now we still have to act according to the plan."
"Since the young master has saved the Shu army all by himself, we must not let him down."
"I see."
Gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist with a complicated expression, Liang Zhen turned his head and glanced at Liang Qin not far away.
"Oh, I hope Changtian is okay."
Chou time, Guanghan County.
Two hours after the Shu army broke through, the unguarded Guanghan City naturally fell into the hands of the rebellion-suppressing army.
Teams of yellow-armored soldiers holding torches have entered the city and firmly occupied various important locations in the city. They will surely take over the entire city soon.
Of course, the people in the city were hiding in their homes at this time, not even daring to turn on the lights, for fear of being treated as traitors and having their heads chopped off.
At this moment, in a small room that was also pitch black, Wei Changtian, who had been unconscious for nearly an hour, finally slowly opened his eyes.
“.”
After waking up, Wei Changtian did not get up immediately, but squinted his eyes and observed the situation around him motionlessly.
Although there was no light, I could still see clearly with the bright moonlight.
A small bed, lying alone.
A small table with a star scabbard on the top.
There was a small bamboo chair, on which sat an old woman with white hair.
A small wooden basin with a long bloodstained towel draped over the edge.
That's all there is to note in sight.
If you put it all together, it's just an ordinary, even shabby house.
Although he still didn't know where he had been randomly teleported to, the fact that this scene was obviously not dangerous made Wei Changtian breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was good enough that we were not teleported directly into the camp of the imperial army.
Of course, if it was Xiao Feng, what he would see when he opened his eyes right now would be a cute little girl or a charming young woman. "Cough! Cough cough cough!"
After pretending to cough a few times and successfully attracting the old woman's attention, Wei Changtian slowly sat up from the bed.
The former was not surprised to see him wake up. He just tremblingly poured a bowl of water and then stopped moving, as if waiting for Wei Changtian to walk to the table and drink it.
“.”
Wei Changtian was stunned when he saw this. He did not get out of bed immediately, but gently bowed to the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, where is this place?"
“.”
"Well, I was being chased by my enemies. I managed to escape but then I fainted from exhaustion. But you saved me?"
“.”
The old woman did not answer the two consecutive questions, but she turned her head and looked at Wei Changtian deeply, as if she was skeptical about the latter's statement.
Well, it seems that I should have been teleported directly to someone else's yard or something like that.
After touching his nose, Wei Changtian didn't say anything for the time being.
At present, it seems that this old woman is just an ordinary person, and most likely a mute, so she does not pose any threat to him.
Of course, if I want to be absolutely sure, I should kill her or kidnap her.
But Wei Changtian was certainly not so cold-blooded, so after pondering for a moment, he sat cross-legged and began to check his injuries.
A small house.
A mute old woman with simple clothes and white hair.
A young man with wounds all over his body and naked upper body.
This scene looks a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
It was not until Wei Changtian finished checking the injuries that he broke the silence again.
"Mother-in-law, are you the only one at home?"
“.”
"I wonder if I could stay with you for one night?"
“.”
The old woman still didn't say anything, but just nodded slowly.
