#471 - Old woman

Half an hour later.

When Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping, who had successfully led the Shu army to break through the encirclement, looked at each other in stunned silence, it meant that they already knew what had just happened.

After all, even though they were more than ten miles apart, the sword energy that fell from the sky was still too obvious, making it difficult not to notice.

Moreover, Han Zhao had also sent a message confirming that a team of tens of thousands of people had just tried to intercept the Shu army's breakthrough route.

So... who exactly repelled the Zhenshan Camp?

Liang Zhen immediately sent scouts to investigate.

The result was that there were only more than four thousand enemy corpses on the battlefield, and there were no other traces besides that.

This also meant that it was not an army that repelled the Zhenshan Camp, but only a small group of experts.

But what kind of group could kill four thousand well-trained, formally organized soldiers? And still be able to retreat unscathed?

Who exactly unleashed that shocking sword?

Just when Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping were confused and didn't know who had saved the Shu army, Han Zhao's second secret report came.

This secret report finally revealed the whole story.

Only then did the two understand that Wei Changtian had first gone alone to delay the Zhenshan Camp, and then a mysterious person had killed three thousand soldiers with a single sword, ultimately successfully scaring away this Zhenshan Camp that almost dealt a fatal blow to the Shu army.

Although the course of events was clear, such a process did not calm Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping's expressions, but made them even more astonished.

Because Han Zhao's secret report clearly stated—

Young Master Wei is now indeed a Third Rank.

As Wei Changtian's number one confidant, Chu Xianping knew very well that the former had broken through to the Fourth Rank less than a month ago.

So how could he be a Third Rank now???

More importantly, how could anyone kill three thousand soldiers with a single sword???

These were not three thousand ordinary people, but three thousand martial artists who had at least entered the ranks!

The meanings represented by the two words "oppose" and "kill" are fundamentally different, let alone "kill three thousand with one sword!"

Imagine if there really was such an expert in this world, then just one person could completely sway a war.

Three thousand with one sword, thirty thousand with ten swords, no matter how many soldiers there are, it wouldn't be enough to kill!

It's outrageous!

This matter was too unbelievable, so it was normal for Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping to have such a reaction now.

But Han Zhao's secret report was so certain that they couldn't help but believe it...

"Young Master Chu, we still need to find Changtian immediately."

After a long silence, Liang Zhen finally spoke: "And he has just experienced a great battle, and his current situation may not be very good."

"Yes, I will send someone to find him."

Nodding, Chu Xianping analyzed: "Since General Han said he didn't find the Young Master, it means that the Young Master should have escaped."

"It's just that I don't know where he went, maybe he's coming towards us, it's hard to say."

"General Liang, we still need to act according to the plan."

"Since the Young Master saved the Shu army alone, we must not fail his good intentions."

"I understand."

With a complex expression, Liang Zhen clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist and turned to look at Liang Qin not far away.

"Alas, I hope Changtian is okay."

Chou Hour, Guanghan County.

Two hours after the Shu army broke through, the undefended Guanghan City naturally fell into the hands of the rebel army.

Teams of yellow-armored soldiers have already entered the city holding torches, firmly occupying all the important places in the city, and it is expected that they will soon completely take over the entire city.

The people in the city are of course hiding in their homes at this time, not even daring to light the lights, for fear of being regarded as rebels and losing their heads.

At this time, in a small house that was also pitch black, Wei Changtian, who had been in a coma for nearly an hour, finally slowly opened his eyes.

"..."

After waking up, Wei Changtian did not get up immediately, but narrowed his eyes and remained motionless to observe the surrounding situation.

Although there were no lights on, he could still see clearly by the bright moonlight.

A small bed, he was lying on it.

A small table, the Star Scar Saber sheath was placed on the table.

A small bamboo chair, an old woman with white hair was sitting on it.

A small wooden basin, a long towel full of blood stains was draped over the edge of the basin.

This was all that was worth noting in his field of vision.

If combined, it was just an ordinary, even somewhat shabby, residential house.

Although he didn't know where he had been randomly teleported to, the fact that this scene obviously did not pose any danger made Wei Changtian breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he wasn't directly teleported into the camp of the imperial army.

Of course, if it were Xiao Feng, what he would see when he opened his eyes now would have to be a cute little girl or a charming young woman, right?

"Cough! Cough cough cough!"

Pretending to cough a few times, after 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, just tremblingly poured a bowl of water, and then stopped moving, as if waiting for Wei Changtian to walk to the table to drink it himself.

"..."

Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and did not get out of bed immediately, but gently cupped his fist at the old woman.

"Granny, I wonder where this is?"

"..."

"Uh... this young man was chased by enemies, and after escaping by chance, he passed out from exhaustion. Did you save me?"

"..."

The old woman did not answer either of the two questions, but she turned her head and took a deep look at Wei Changtian, seeming to be skeptical of the latter's statement.

Well, it seems that he should have been directly teleported into someone's yard or something.

Touching his nose, Wei Changtian didn't say anything for the time being.

Currently, it seems that this old woman should be an ordinary person, and most likely a mute, so she doesn't pose any threat to him.

Of course, if he wanted to ensure that nothing went wrong, he should kill or tie her up.

However, Wei Changtian was certainly not so cold-blooded as to do that, so after pondering for a moment, he sat down cross-legged and began to check his injuries.

A small house.

A simply dressed, white-haired mute old woman.

A young man covered in wounds, naked to the waist.

This scene looked a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

It wasn't until Wei Changtian finished checking his injuries that he broke the silence again.

"Granny, are you the only one at home?"

"..."

"I wonder if this young man can stay for one night?"

"..."

The old woman still didn't speak, just slowly nodded.
