Four Hundred and Sixty: The First Winter (7)

Finally, Wei Ci cured the bandit leader. Zhang Ping didn't know what his friend and the bandit leader said. The two of them and the servant suddenly became guests of honor of the bandits. The bandits were very polite to them. Zhang Ping was shocked by this change.

When he asked Wei Ci, the other party just smiled and said nothing.

"You just hide it. One day you will voluntarily spit it out."

Zhang Ping was upset. He was already very curious, but his friend was still keeping it a secret. It was really annoying.

After a while, these bandits actually successfully attacked a small group of blue-clothed soldiers.

There were only 83 bandits in total, but they rescued many innocent women from the blue-clothed soldiers who were five times their number.

Not only that, these bandits were very particular about tactics. They would harass and leave every time, and they were elusive.

This, this is obviously not the quality of a group of bandits who came from wild ways.

After a long time, Zhang Ping realized that Wei Ci was actually instructing these bandits on how to make the most of the advantages of the mountains.

"No, Zixiao, what are you doing?"

Zhang Ping poked Wei Ci. He was a little confused about his friend's thoughts.

Wei Ci sneered and said calmly, "Now it is a chaotic world. The north of Dongqing has become a battlefield for the Blue Army and the Red Lotus Sect. The court and King Changshou are in a stalemate in the south. It is obviously impossible for the three of us to travel north safely. Who knows if we will be kidnapped by the Red Lotus Sect or the Blue Army on the way?"

To be honest, even if he is a man, it is very unsafe to walk outside with such a face.

Wei Ci is not a narcissistic person, but he knows how much trouble this face brings.

Zhang Ping asked, "So?"

Wei Ci's eyes fell outside, his eyes were meaningful, and his dark and bright eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ci showed them the way, and they gave us a ride. These bandits originally planned to flee to other places, but they were still resentful and wanted to avenge their relatives who died in vain before leaving. It happened that Ci could help him. The leader was a loyal man. He promised Ci that if the revenge was successful, he would escort us to Xiangyang County."

Zhang Ping almost laughed, "You actually believed the words of a bandit?"

Wei Ci tapped the low table with his fingers,

and said in a low voice, "I dare not believe other people, but I can believe this man."

In fact, Wei Ci did not expect that he would meet Dian Yin in this place.

Who is Dian Yin?

At this time, at most he would be regarded as a wild man, but Wei Ci remembered that this man would be one of the ten founding generals of the Jiang Dynasty, an upright man who followed Liu Xi from the beginning, and accompanied her from a female bandit leader to a local lord, and finally became the master of the world. She had a bad reputation, and Dian Yin was one of the few people who did not waver in his loyalty.

In his previous life, Wei Ci only hoped to assist the wise master with his talents, help the wise master to pacify the world as soon as possible, and return peace and prosperity to the world.

To put it bluntly, Wei Ci has never been loyal to anyone. He is loyal to the people of the world, not just one person.

After the old master was defeated and died, he did not die for the master, nor did he retire to the mountains and forests. He surrendered to Jiang Pengji according to his own wishes.

At that time, the situation in the world, if he wanted to realize his ambitions, he had to surrender to the new master.

Because he was a newly surrendered counselor, he did not deliberately show himself at the beginning, so as not to offend people. He usually followed the principle of listening more, watching more, doing more, and talking less. His presence was low, and he almost became a transparent person.

He maintained a shallow relationship with most people, and it seemed that only Dian Yin had some intersections.

For a period of time, the court was full of the atmosphere of forming factions for personal gain. Dian Yin was always a lone ranger, loyal only to His Majesty.

This upright man was born rough and fierce, with a full beard on his face. In fact, his personality was a little introverted and shy, and his heart was transparent.

When most people despised Wei Ci, only Dian Yin maintained his normal attitude.

Liu Xi is no longer a bandit now. She is a noble son of the Liu family. Naturally, there is no chance for these two people to get to know each other. Thinking of Dian Yin's serious injuries and maggots crawling in his wounds, Wei Ci couldn't help but sweat secretly.

If he came too late, perhaps the future warrior Dian Yin would no longer exist.

Wei Ci didn't deliberately change anything, he just wanted to be a matchmaker.

In the previous life, His Majesty subdued Dian Yin and asked him to follow him at all costs. If the fate of the monarch and the minister still exists in this life, Dian Yin should be hers.

If there is no fate, it's not forced.

In short, no matter what, take the person to Xiangyang County first.

Zhang Ping could not help but stop his contempt when he saw Wei Ci's words were so confident.

Most of the young people who followed Dian Yin into banditry were of the same age from the same village or neighboring villages. He had been the elder brother of these people since he was young, so his words carried a lot of weight. This group of bandits was headed by him.

Everyone packed their luggage and prepared to go north. On the way, they made a living by robbing the Qingyi Army and saving some innocent people. Sometimes, in order to avoid the large forces of the Qingyi Army, they had to take a long detour. Slowly, the whole team expanded to more than 500 people.

Although the speed was slow, they were indeed approaching Xiangyang County.

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

On this day, the temperature dropped suddenly, and Wei Ci fell ill without any warning and had a high fever for two consecutive days.

Unfortunately, at this time, they were discovered by a Qingyi Army of 2,000 people.

Actually, it was nothing to be discovered. The terrible thing was that they had just robbed the Qingyi Army's grain team a while ago!

With new grudges and old grudges, how could the Blue Army let them go easily?

Under helplessness, everyone could only retreat to the mountains under Zhang Ping's command, relying on the mechanism-making method taught by Zhang Ping and Wei Ci, and using the mountain terrain for defense. In addition, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the Qingyi Army did not dare to go deep into them, so everyone was temporarily safe.

Fortunately, there was a barefoot doctor with unreliable medical skills among the crowd, who could prescribe some fever-reducing prescriptions, otherwise Wei Ci would have been burned into a fool if he didn't die this time. After finally reducing the fever, the cough came back.

"I have known you for so many years, but I never knew that your body was so weak." Zhang Ping sighed.

Wei Ci smiled bitterly, "Ci didn't know either."

His body looked weak, but it was actually not that bad, and he had never been sick in his previous life.

I don't know why in this life, it seems to be particularly unlucky.

Not to mention the past six months, he has suffered from one serious illness after another.

"Alas - maybe it's God's will." Wei Ci sighed.

Zhang Ping said, "You sick beauty torment yourself all day long, what does it have to do with God's will?"

You are asking for death, God will not take the blame.

If it was the Wei Ci of the past, he would definitely turn his face if someone called him a "sick beauty", but now he is thicker-skinned.

"Xi Heng doesn't understand, the heaven is fair, if you get something extra, you may have to lose something else."

Raise the sword to kill himself, and return to the prime of life, what kind of opportunity is this?

If he loses his health for this, he doesn't feel it's a loss.

Zhang Ping glanced at the weird Wei Ci with a sidelong look, and said unhappily, "You should take good care of yourself and try to get back a little meat. Anyway, we can't go down the mountain before the snow melts."

Wei Ci coughed twice and whispered to Zhang Ping to thank him.
