Chapter 90: The Eight Eccentrics of Wind City
Zhang Gongzi listened to Wei Hong's words and didn't care about saying anything else. He hurriedly walked towards the outside, instructing people to help those who had fallen to the ground, including Ye Zhe, whose life or death was unknown, and had them all taken out. Meanwhile, as Zhang Gongzi was busy outside, Xu Han gazed at Wei Hong, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
If it's said that at the beginning, Xu Han didn't take Wei Hong seriously, then after Wei Hong instantly kicked all of Ye's family members flying, there was a hint of apprehension in his heart. Although Ye Zhe and others were not his opponents either, such cleanliness and efficiency made Xu Han wonder if he could do it temporarily.
He saw Xu Han's expression, Wei Hong secretly sneered in his heart. This was the effect he wanted. He didn't act impulsively for personal reasons. With the Ye family, it had long been a matter of life and death. Since that was the case, he didn't need to tolerate the Ye family members at all. Moreover, this would also intimidate others.
Wei Hong, at this moment, turned his gaze to another side, a young man in white clothes, quietly sitting on the seat, like an unsheathed precious sword, with a hint of sword intent surrounding him.
Feeling Wei Hong's gaze, the white-clothed youth looked towards Wei Hong, nodded in acknowledgement, and Wei Hong also responded with a smile. If his guess was correct, this should be someone from the Kuang family, but he didn't know which one. Judging by his aura, he was at the 8th rank of martial artists, however, his true strength was still unknown.
The hall fell into a strange silence until Zhang Gongzi returned, and before Wei Hong could speak, Xu Han took the lead and asked, "When do we set off?"
"We're still short of a few people, let's set off at noon after everyone arrives." Zhang Gongzi's face was still tinged with worry as he finished speaking, and then had the servant bring up some fruit and snacks before leaving.
Wei Hong furrowed his brow, Wind City and Fog City were both among the eight major cities, adjacent to each other, but even at the fastest pace, it would take a day and a half to travel between them. Yet the Zhang family seemed so carefree, they might not arrive in Wind City until evening, was there something holding them back?
"Wei Hong, I feel like something is off. This escort mission pays quite well for each person, but is it worth sending so many people just to escort a single sword?" Wei Ning said in a low voice as she sat beside Wei Hong.
"Let's see." Wei Hong neither confirmed nor denied, since he had come out to gain experience, it was inevitable that there would be some risks. If everything went smoothly, then what was the point of gaining experience?
The hall fell silent once again, with everyone closing their eyes to meditate. Before long, it was noon. At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a few graceful features walked in from outside.
As they entered, several middle-aged men with thick and powerful killing auras scattered around them, each looking exceptionally fierce. It seemed that these four people were also invited by the Zhang family as loose cultivators. Sure enough, after these few people came in, a middle-aged manager walked in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here. Please get ready, we will set off in five minutes." The middle-aged manager said with a serious expression on his face.
As the team set off, Wei Hong also took a rough look at the back. This time, the lowest cultivation of the people invited by Zhang's family was Wu Zhe Liu Pin, while the middle-aged woman and several others were Wu Zhe Ba Pin. Moreover, it seemed that those people were the main force.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kuang Xu, from the Kuang family." The white-clothed young man said with a friendly tone as he approached Wei Hong's youth.
"My name is Wei Hong." At the same time, Wei Ning and Wei Wuming also introduced themselves.
Out of the fog city, but there was no encounter with task danger, and everyone's face also showed a relaxed expression. However, the Zhang family did not relax at all. The middle-aged steward named Li Qiang was once a number one figure in Jianghu, but he became tired of Jianghu and became a steward in the Zhang family.
"Brother Wei, don't you feel that something is off? It's said to be a sword operation, but this one has three large boxes, and if I'm not mistaken, the things in these three boxes shouldn't be the main thing either." Jian Xiu asked with doubt as they walked.
"Take people's money and spend it with them, other things, why bother to care so much." Wei Hong smiled lightly and said indifferently.
"Haha, that's right. I was too cautious." The white-clothed youth laughed and said after hearing Wei Hong's words.
The convoy continued to move slowly, and before they knew it, they had already traveled for half a day. As the sky gradually darkened, Li Qiang prepared to stop and rest for a while before continuing on their journey.
"Sister, what do you think the Zhang family is transporting? They're paying us such a huge price to escort them?" On the other side, a burly-looking man asked in a low voice, addressing the middle-aged woman.
"It's not clear, but as long as we get to Feng City, we'll get the other half of the payment. There's no need to know anything else, but you guys be careful, I've been feeling uneasy." The middle-aged woman shook her head slightly and continued with a hint of concern.
"This kid must be eliminated, it seems that I have to tell the family about this. The Wei family now has many strong people, if we let them grow up, then in the great comparison of the sects, what we can get will be very small." Xu Han looked at Wei Hong not far away, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.
Wei Hong Zheng was about to start his cultivation when suddenly, his eyes snapped open and his whole body entered a state of high alert. He quickly called Wei Wu Ming and Wei Ning to his side, looked at the two of them, and softly said: "We should be surrounded."
"I really didn't expect that the Eight Eccentrics of Wind City would also start doing highway robbery and banditry." As soon as Wei Hong's voice fell, a loud and clear voice came from the other side, Li Qiang.
Only to see the surroundings, dozens of people appeared in an instant. The five men and three women walking in front, one of whom was an old man with a iron crutch, smiled on his face and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Even Iron Fist Li Qiang can be a leader, why can't we rob? Moreover, you know our intentions, put down your things and spare your lives."
"You cripple, it seems there's no room for negotiation, is that right?!" Li Qiang's face revealed a hint of anger as he said in a low voice.
"Haha, of course there's room for negotiation. We've already spared your lives, haven't we? What? Do you want to die or something?" A woman with a needle and thread in her hand said coquettishly beside the man known as Duan Cui Zi.
"Everyone follow me, kill." Li Qiang didn't waste any more words and directly charged out, his fists flying towards Duan Cui's face, a ferocious expression on his face.
"Xiao Mei, this guy is mine. You guys take care of the others quickly." Just as the crippled iron crutch slammed heavily onto the ground, a crack spread out from the point of impact, and then a silent attack shot straight at Li Qiang.
The strength of the Eight Wonders of Fengcheng lies in the eight martial arts, Li Qiang was entangled and stayed behind, while the middle-aged woman blocked four people, Xu Han and Kuangxu also blocked one person each, but there is still one person left.
It was the woman known as Little Beauty, who with just a slight movement of her needle and thread, could cause a martial artist to die instantly from a single needle hole in his brow, leaving others defenseless and extremely frightened.
"Kill."
Wei Hong no longer held back and let out a soft shout as he directly took Xiao Mei away.
