Changying The Lady

Wei Changfeng"s whole body jolted. Although he grew up with Wei Changying and also knew that his sister practiced martial arts regardless of rain or shine, he did not know that Wei Changying had such good skills that she was able to kill the leaders of these masked men in black one hit!

At this moment, Wei Changfeng turned countless thoughts in his heart and wanted to say anything, but he was pulled back by Wei Qing. The sudden killing of the leader surprised a lot of people in black! Even the arrows in the forest stopped. Seeing Wei Qing and Wei Changfeng wanting to take advantage of this short quiet field to get away, a nearby masked man in black woke up and shouted angrily, “Idiot! What are you waiting for? Kill! Take vengeance for the head of the family! ”

Reminded by him, all the men in black got their sense back and moved forward waving their blades. The arrows appeared again from the forest. Bang! Bang! A row of three arrows completely followed the pace of Wei Changfeng and entered the mud!

“Changfeng, quickly enter the forest!” Wei Changfeng stayed alive in such a desperate situation and had no time to fear the fierce arrows that pa.s.sed by his calves into the side of his feet. He turned back and ran for two steps. Not far away, he saw the carriage that Wei Changying had ridden before. Because the horses that pulled the carriage were dead on the road, the carriage was also brought to the ground.

On the side of the carriage, fine porcelain, fruit, and other things scattered around. This showed that the event took place abruptly at that time. The two maidservants who followed Wei Changying out today were all right, except that their clothes were untidy and their hairpin fell off. They held their heads and were shivering behind the carriage.

It was unknown whether it was because Wei Changying could not get away when the carriage fell down so that it took her a lot of effort to climb out. She had already lost her curtained hat and was standing in front of the carriage. Her hair was disheveled and her skirt was slightly sloping. Wei Changfeng, who ran to the vicinity, saw clearly that the corner of her dress was covered with dust, but all these did no harm her beauty and murderous intention. Wei Changying was holding the Lancet taken from a dead bodyguard. As soon as she turned her wrist, she shielded off an arrow shot at her. Her gorgeous eyes were filled with harsh spirits, and she coldly looked at the man in black who was about to rush up not far away. She ordered Wei Qing in a quiet voice, “Wei Qing, accompany Changfeng into the forest, don"t go to the direction of Fengzhou first. Be careful of the ambush! Go to the Little Bamboo Hill first! Be careful on your way!”

Wei Qing was going to stay and help her, but he was stunned when he heard this order. Wei Changfeng said anxiously, “Sister, what about you?”

“I"ll stay and cover the retreat!” Wei Changying turned the Lancet and pointed to the man in black. But when she saw that her brother wanted to persuade him to go with him, she suddenly pushed him to the edge of the forest with a backhand and said angrily, “Don"t you go? Do you want two of us to die here?! What about father and mother?!”

Wei Qing thought about lots of things, but instead of taking Changfeng away, he took a few steps to Wei Changying, pulled out a cloud knife, and said, “How can the task of covering the retreat be handed over to the First Miss? First Miss and the fifth young master please go first, and I will cover the retreat for you!”

Wei Changfeng first changed his facial expression and showed a bit of guilt and then made up his mind to reach out to Wei Changying. Although Wei Qing was both a cousin from the other branch and a loyal subordinate, he was still not as important as his sister. He also knew that at present, the reason why both Wei Changying and Wei Qing had to stay to cover the retreat was because of his enc.u.mbering.

Because both Wei Changying and Wei Qing were people who had practiced martial arts for many years, and their steps were long and agile. After entering the forest, they had a great chance to get away without enc.u.mbrance. However, Wei Changfeng was familiar with the cla.s.sics and history and was not interested in martial arts. He only knew a little of the five-fowl dramas used by the n.o.bles to strengthen his health, and he only played them every once in a while. His physical strength or skills were all alike to the ordinary people. If he entered the forest, how could he run fast?

But Wei Changfeng knew that no matter how many people died here today, including the sister Wei Changying. If one person could stay alive, it must be himself! If he did not leave, Wei Qing and Wei Changying would not leave even if they died here! So, in order to buy him time to leave, someone had to come out and cover the retreat!

If this person could not be Wei Changying, then it had to be Wei Qing.

“Brother Qing, if you can survive, I will treat you like my lineal brother!” Wei Changfeng understood that for Wei Qing to stay at this moment, he would probably die. But no matter whether it was from the distance of the blood, from the emotion, or from the master-slave relationship, he could only choose such a result. Wei Qing was the descendant of the Wei Family so that his relatives were taken care of by the family, and their situation was not bad. The only thing Wei Changfeng could promise him was Wei Qing"s future if he survived.

But he was not able to pull anyone. Wei Changying suddenly moved at this time and her whole body rushed out with the Lancet sword. With the background of the Wei Family, even if the weapons of the guards were not that great, they were all made of fine steel and were so sharp that the ordinary craftsman"s weapons could compare with. Therefore, with Wei Changying"s wrist strength, which was restricted by her gender and was not outstanding among the warriors, she still easily cut off a rough and scarred broadsword that tried to stop her, and stabbed directly into the chest of the owner of the broadsword!

“What a fierce tigress!” Some of the men in black shouted angrily, “Yao San, you stand down and let me do it!”

“Brother Yang, be careful, this tigress has a good weapon!” After seeing another companion died after the death of the leader at the hands of Wei Changying, everyone in the black was surprised for they looked down on her due to her ident.i.ty as a young beautiful girl.

After seeing this, Wei Qing also said anxiously, “First Miss, please take the fifth young master and leave!”

“You have a very thick coc.o.o.n, and you must be accustomed to using a long spear according to the position of it. It"s just that it"s not convenient to carry a long spear when you follow Changfeng around.” After Wei Changying killed the bandit with the broadsword, she hurriedly pulled out the Lancet sword to fight the next enemy. Because she was unable to avoid it, the blood spattered all over her sleeves. She was wearing water-colored wide-sleeved clothes and yellow fairy dresses that were all light in color, but now she looked strange and cruel with the blood on her clothes. But she was not afraid. She clenched the sword, and said, “I"m afraid the Kora is for you to make a fake appearance or to use at urgent moments. Are you sure how long you can stop them with a knife that you are not used to using? I don"t want to die. If you are accustomed to using a Kora, do you think I will take the initiative to cover the retreat?”

“…” Wei Qing was stunned. Of course, his ambition was not only to be a bodyguard of his clan"s lineal grandsons but to gallop the battlefield and build meritorious deeds. So he learned the long spear from an early age. Only after he got into the eyes of Wei Huan with long spears and strategies, Wei Huan thought that the current situation was not suitable for him to come forward. Wei Qing was the descendent of Ruiyu Hall, but because of Wei Huan"s old age, Wei Zhenghong"s illness and Wei Shengnian"s cowardice, Ruiyu Hall"s power was now in decline and must wait until the generation of Wei Changfeng to grow up and then it could be revitalized.

Wei Qing was young and could afford to wait. After all, the warriors fought against the frontier and won military merit only after several times of experiencing life and death. If there was no one in the royal court…. Mo Binwei was an example. What"s more, following Wei Changfeng, Wei Qing was not only able to borrow many books treasured in the Wei Family that only children like Wei Changfeng could have access to, such as the solitary books on the art of war annotated by his predecessors, but also received personal advice from Wei Huan from time to time. Compared with becoming a cousin"s subordinate, this price was worth it in Wei Qing"s perspective.

With the ident.i.ty of Wei Changfeng, of course, it was impossible for Wei Qing to be the only bodyguard around him. In fact, Wei Qing"s bodyguard ident.i.ty was just a cover. As a matter of fact, the long spear used by Wei Qing was used in war-fighting which was heavy and long. It was impossible to carry it as elegantly as a sword, and it was also outrageous for the guards of Wei Family"s lineal grandson to carry the long spears all day long.

However, if he did not bring any weapon, it would not fit his ident.i.ty as the guard. Therefore, Wei Qing just casually brought a Kora with him which he was not familiar with using!

Even if Wei Changfeng also forgot about this at this moment, Wei Changying still found it out with only one look!

Wei Qing was hesitated to speak. In fact, after he offered to cover the retreat, in addition to being loyal to his duties, he was not sure he would be able to bring Wei Changfeng out of the forest. As Wei Changying said, without convenient weapons, Wei Qing"s ability would have been reduced. What"s more, he aims was at the battlefield so that he majored in marksmanship, and his martial arts consisted of grand movements. The dense forest was not suitable for him to use his skills!

Rather than die in the woods at that time, it would be better to let go and die on this s.p.a.cious official road!

“Even if I go into the woods…” Wei Qing thought for a moment, pulled out the knife to stop the man in black, took a deep breath, and said truthfully, “Outside or inside the forest, I would not be able to utilize my abilities! On the contrary, the official road is s.p.a.cious so that I can hold on longer than in the woods. So please, First Miss, just leave!”

“You tigress killed our boss and a brother, and you want to go now?” Before Wei Changying answered, Brother Yang suddenly rushed up and stopped her with a sword and sneered at her.

“Don"t hurt her life yet, Brother Yang, so that we can take her back to the mountain alive to pay tribute to the master!” One of the men in black said, “The tigress is spicy, but she is beautiful so that we can be happy on the way back to the mountain!”

“That"s true! Oh, well. The Wei Family in Fengzhou…I don"t know how would the First Miss of the Wei Family taste like?”

Now there was a lot of blood on the official road, and there were no living people except Wei Changying, Wei Qing, Wei Changfeng, Lvyi and Lvchi!

There were dozens of men in black. Although Wei Changying killed their leader first, and killed a companion with the help of the blade, compared to the number of people, the man in black still felt that these five were turtles in the urn. They could not help but talk presumptuously as they hated that Wei Changying had killed the leader and his companions and saw her beauty and youngness, in particular, her ident.i.ty of the First Miss of the Wei Family. If they dared to talk randomly behind her back, they had to pay attention that someone would tell the Wei Family when hearing their words.

Now seeing this First Miss with crooked hair, dusty skirts, and blood on her sleeves, yet still holding the Lancet and standing in front of her brother, even these men in black imagined that she would be captured after a while, and a touch of indescribable pleasure and tyranny rose in their hearts.

Wei Qing and Wei Changfeng almost dripped blood from their eyes as they heard the openly insult towards Wei Changying.

But now they were on the weak side, these people in black seemed to flirt Wei Changying, but they also feared that she came from a well-known family so that her martial arts inheritance was complete. In addition to this, they also knew that people from the Wei Family usually had enough meat and medicine to supply their energy, and there were no hidden wounds in their bodies, and their weapon was sharp. Therefore, they hoped to disturb the minds of Wei Changfeng and Wei Qing in order to take them down effortlessly. After Wei Qing was angry, he saw that Wei Changying seemed not to hear anything but still focused on stopping Brother Yang with the Lancet. He immediately got back his sense and hurriedly settled down to concentrate on fighting the enemy. However, he began to admire the First Miss. Wei Qing himself had the experience of dealing with others, but he still had unsettled mind several times today. And this must be the first time for a girl in boudoir like Wei Changying to encounter such a thing, but she was able to be so calm!

This brother and sister of the big branch were indeed extraordinary. No wonder they made others jealous and wary so that they would rather face the fierce anger of Wei Huan and Old Madam Song afterward but to kill them here!

…However, without fighting for long, Brother Yang suddenly got back his sense and forced Wei Changying away with several moves and jumped back. He looked around and said angrily, “Where are the arrows? How can there be no arrows" a.s.sistance from the forest!”

Before he had finished his word, he heard the sound of a string behind him. Just as a companion was about to remind him that the arrows were coming, he saw that the arrow was shot right into the heart of a man in black. The arrow was strong. Although the arrow did not pa.s.s through his chest, it directly led the man in black to fall out a few steps. After he struggled several steps, he died after he fell to the ground!

This incident made everyone stunned, and Brother Yang was so angry that he suddenly turned back and shouted, “Zhao Qi! Do you want to die?! Where are you aiming?”

Unexpectedly, another arrow flew out from the forest and heading toward his face!

“It"s not one of ours!” At this time, the people dressed in black realized that if they had been their archers, how could they attack their own people? It must be members of the Wei Family, or at least the ones who were on the side of Wei Changying!

There was no cover on the official road, and the archers in the forest not only had dense forests as cover but also could hide in trees, condescended, and shoot people at will. The guards of the Wei Family had just been caught off guard, and they died without being able to utilize their skills in martial arts. But now it was the turn of these men in black!

Brother Yang obviously had great prestige among the bandits aside from the leader. In the face of such changes, he did not hesitate but to order, “Turn around! First of all, guard yourself against the backstabbing of arrows from the forest!”

Wei Changying and Wei Qing looked at each other, and when the man in black was surprised by the arrows in the forest and hesitated to fight, they retreated lightly to the back of the carriage. She kicked Lvyi and Lvchi into the forest one by one. Then, she turned back, grabbed Wei Changying and quickly jumped into the forest!

Following her, Wei Qing also disappeared in the forest!
