#68 - I'll protect this guy!

At the peak of Fish Belly Mountain.

Yang Liu Shi, dressed in a red robe, stood in a pavilion, staring blankly at the flickering firelight below.

The distant sounds of fighting were faint and indistinct. After a long while, she finally parted her red lips and asked Wei Changtian, who was standing beside her, with some curiosity.

"How did you guess he would make a move there?"

"You!"

Yang Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, then muttered in dissatisfaction, "If you don't want to say, then don't say it..."

"I'm not lying to you."

Wei Changtian looked at Yang Liu Shi, who had an expression of disbelief, and casually revealed the answer, "I just made arrangements in advance at every place along the way where an ambush could be set up... including here."

"..."

In an instant, Yang Liu Shi's face was filled with shock.

She subconsciously looked around, and then asked in a low voice, incredulously, "Are you saying... you ambushed people all along the way in advance?"

"More or less."

"Then, how many experts would that take?"

"Several hundred."

"..."

Yang Liu Shi stopped talking, or rather, she didn't know what to say.

Actually, it's no wonder she didn't think of it, because such a feat is not something ordinary people can accomplish.

Several hundred experts silently ambushing all the way from the Wei residence to here is not just a matter of having enough manpower.

This is a complete display of the Wei family's hard power.

Sigh, it's just that Wei Xianzheng is a bit miserable.

He wasn't constantly ambushing here, but followed the carriage all the way...

The mountain wind brushed past the two of them, stirring Yang Liu Shi's rosy skirt.

After a long while, she asked her second question.

"The carriage must have been watched by the Xuantian Society's scouts all the way. How did you get off the carriage? And how did the two dead men get on?"

"I didn't get off, and they didn't get on."

Wei Changtian was in a good mood at this time, so he didn't hide anything and continued to answer, "We were on two carriages from the start."

"... I understand!"

Yang Liu Shi exclaimed softly, and a picture appeared in her mind.

A carriage suddenly stopped when it reached a blind spot, and another carriage that had been parked here took over and drove out...

The principle is not difficult to understand, but it is indeed very confusing.

At this moment, the way she looked at Wei Changtian had become increasingly complex, with admiration, incomprehension, tenderness, and desire.

If I had to say, the emotion of "desire" might be more prominent.

"I, I have one more question..."

"Hey, why do you have so many questions?"

Wei Changtian turned his head to look at Yang Liu Shi, who had suddenly transformed into a question baby, and said unhappily, "Think about the questions yourself!"

"Just one last one!"

Yang Liu Shi hugged Wei Changtian's arm and acted spoiled.

"Ask, ask."

"Okay, okay! I promise it's the last one!"

Yang Liu Shi nodded repeatedly, leaned close to Wei Changtian's ear, and asked softly, "The scapegoats in the carriage... who are they?"

Hearing this question, Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then answered truthfully in a calm tone, "One is his savior, and the other is his woman."

"..."

A long-lost look of fear suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, even more so than on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Yang Liu Shi didn't move, but Wei Changtian was too lazy to care about what she was thinking at this time, and instead pulled his arm out of the valley on his own.

He raised his eyes and stared at the firelight at the foot of the mountain, his brows gradually furrowing.

The battle should be over, but why are there still several torches moving quickly?

Could it be... Xiao Feng can't die this time either?

...

The truth was indeed similar to what Wei Changtian had guessed. Although Wei Xianzheng went straight to Xiao Feng after saying his harsh words, the latter really didn't die.

Even after so long, he had only suffered minor injuries.

No matter how awesome Xiao Feng is, it is impossible for him to grow to the point where he can fight Wei Xianzheng within a month.

The reason why he is still okay now is entirely because of the expert borrowed from the Liu family—

"Chen Jie!"

Wei Xianzheng looked at the sturdy man opposite him, his face gloomy, "I never thought that you, a dignified General Zhenbei, would also become Liu Yuanshan's lackey!"

"Lord Wei, you misunderstand me."

The man named Chen Jie looked calm, "I don't want to stand on either Liu or Wei's side. I'm only here today to repay Liu Yuanshan for a favor."

"Hahahaha! Ridiculous!"

Wei Xianzheng pointed at Chen Jie's nose and cursed loudly, "Do you know what these people are here to do today?!"

"They are here to ambush my son!"

"You fucking get out of my way right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you too!"

It can be seen that Wei Xianzheng was indeed extremely angry at this moment, but Chen Jie was unmoved and still stood in front of Xiao Feng.

"Lord Wei, I don't care what they are here to do. I am only here today to protect this person's life at the request of the Liu family."

"After tonight, what happens to him and the Liu family has nothing to do with me."

"What if I can't wait until tomorrow?" Wei Xianzheng squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Then Lord Wei can try."

Chen Jie bowed slightly, his hand on the hilt of his saber, "Although I know I am not your opponent, I am still confident that I can hold you back for a while."

He deliberately emphasized the word "hold back". After hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately understood what he meant and turned around and ran without even thinking.

Several Wei family warriors immediately chased after him, but their speed was obviously slower, and they would probably lose him sooner or later.

"Chen Jie, you are very good."

Wei Xianzheng glanced at the direction in which the crowd disappeared, his tone extremely cold, "You can indeed stop me today, but you must understand that you also have a wife and children..."

"If something happens to your wife and children in the future, I wonder if you will be able to protect them then."

"I will only give you three breaths to consider. If you still don't get out of the way, then you should know what will happen in the future."

"Three, two..."

"..."

The night was as dark as water, and black clouds covered the moon.

Words spoken here were already a naked threat.

In fact, top experts like Wei Xianzheng and Chen Jie would never say such things unless they had a blood feud.

Because you can kill their family, and they can also kill your relatives and friends.

If they really start killing each other, the final result is likely to be mutually destructive, with both families ruined and becoming old bachelors.

So although Chen Jie was very angry when he first heard this, he thought that he was protecting the murderer who wanted to kill someone else's son, and for a moment he was speechless.

The air between the two was almost frozen. Just as Wei Xianzheng was about to blurt out the last "one", Chen Jie finally sighed and slowly said:

"Lord Wei, the Liu family's favor is too great, I still have to protect this person."

"However..."

He looked at Wei Xianzheng and softly reported an address.

"Shidao Lane, Shunlong Gambling House."

"Someone from the Wei family has been caught there... You should go quickly, it should still be in time."

After walking through all the recommendations on the Xianxia page, next week I will finally be on the homepage recommendation.

There is still one step away from the final goal before going on the shelves, "Shang Sanjiang". Readers, please try to follow up these days!

Mwah!
