Guiwu City is a fortress-like city.
Its walls are 15 meters high.
The archery towers and battlements overlook the city, warning any enemies who dare to invade Guiwu.
The moat is wide and deep, and the water from the Guiwu River flows into it, and even more are under the river water.
There are sharpened wooden sticks scattered underneath.
The rulers of Guiwucheng never skimped on the cost of maintaining the city's defenses.
He also issued a decree that during the siege of the city, all those who could fight in the city must accept official dispatch.
Guiwu City originated from the dynasty's land reclamation in Guanbei.
When the first land reclamation team was stationed on the bank of Guihe River two hundred years ago, its leader saw the vast wilderness and desolation all around, with only the Gui River in between, so he called the camp Guiwu City.
Wu outpost.
During the nearly hundred years of war with the barbarians, the outpost of Guiwu became the important town of Guiwu.
The barbarians were driven into the deep mountains and old forests.
The treasures of heaven, materials and earth were constantly transported south to Guiwu City, which made its prosperous business possible.
A large number of people gathered in Wucheng for wealth and martial arts.
The threat from the barbarians is no longer there, but Guiwucheng is never short of danger.
Every time there is a natural disaster, many refugees flock to Guanbei, and some are officially recruited as workers and farmers under their rule.
There are also some people who were selected by the martial arts sects or gangs in Guiwucheng to become members of the samurai.
However, a considerable number of people have become bandits, making a living by robbing or joining cults to harm others.
The land reclamation teams that came to Guanbei back then were both official and private.
The official ones were recognized by the government and protected by the government, and became various martial arts sects.
Without official recognition, the people had to rely on themselves and evolved into various gangs in northern Guanbei.
The biggest gang in Guiwucheng is the Gale Group.
Their founder is not officially recognized, but they consider themselves followers of Emperor Qingyuan.
They regard Emperor Qingyuan as the founder of their sect, and their management also follows the official system.
Become the civil society that is least like a civil society.
When Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen arrived at his house with Gu Cha, they encountered a sad scene.
The scene of Guchayi's mother sending her husband and son away two days ago is still before her eyes.
Now her son is back, but her husband has turned into a corpse.
Gu's mother was a strong woman, enduring the pain in her heart and comforting her crying son.
Maybe when she chose to marry a martial artist back then, she was already prepared to accept the current ending.
When Gu Cha stopped crying, Gu's mother noticed the existence of Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen, asked them why, and invited them to live in her home as a reward for saving her son.
Wei Zeng thought that he didn't have a place to live yet, and looked at Xiao Wei Zhen who was already very tired, so he agreed.
At worst, he would wait a few days to find a place to live before moving out.
As soon as Gucha got home, he couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep.
After covering her son with a quilt, Gu's mother made arrangements for her husband's funeral.
In the next few days, Wei Zeng saw that Gu's mother was busy dealing with people.
Although her expression was sad, she did not cry.
After burying her husband outside the city, when she returned home, there was finally a burst of painful crying from Gu's mother's room.
Wei Zeng once heard an old man in the village say that if a person is greatly saddened and does not cry, he will either go crazy or die.
It seems that Gu Mu can start a new life.
As soon as Gucha woke up in the evening that day, he was determined to practice martial arts well to avenge his father.
In the following days, Gucha got up early to practice martial arts and followed Wei Zeng around to seek skills.
A month has passed like this, and heavy snow has fallen in the sky.
The eaves and streets have been covered with snow, and the shops have closed early.
Ordinary families are drinking wine around the stove to warm up.

On this snowy street, two teenagers stepped on the snow that reached their ankles and walked home step by step.
It was Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi who traveled to various martial arts schools and sects.
I just heard Gu Chayi keep complaining: "They really look down on people.
They only ask us to do some chores all day long, and we have to be yelled at by those martial arts masters.
Do they really regard us as handymen?
At least they should teach us a few tricks." ” Wei Zeng smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "Of course they regard us as handymen.
Who can teach martial arts to the handymen?"
but did not say it out loud.
He just responded: "Okay, stop complaining.
If he doesn't teach us, go to the next house and see.
Someone will teach us martial arts."
Wei Zeng himself didn't quite believe it when he said this.
When Wei Zeng and Gu Cha arrived at the martial arts gym a month ago, they learned that if they wanted to learn martial arts in the martial arts gym, they would either have to pay a large amount of tuition fees or pass certain tests.
The test is divided into strength and agility.
As long as you pass the exam, you will be accepted as a registered disciple.
The strength test is to lift objects of different weights according to age.
The weight of the objects increases with age.
After all, it is a test, and the weight of the objects can also be regarded as the limit of age.
Wei Zeng lived a poor life and was relatively thin; Gucha had been pampered since he was a child, not to mention.
The agility test is to use more than a dozen rotating arms to get a designated object.
The two of them tried it, but both of them were beaten black and blue.
They had no money and couldn't pass the test.
They were very disappointed.
A supervisor told them that they could work as a handyman in a martial arts gym first.
If they were attracted by a martial artist, they could learn martial arts even if they were accepted as apprentices.
However, the wages for being a handyman were very low and they would be settled once a day.
So the two of them started working as handymen full of hope, but after a month passed, they had seen enough of the faces of those martial artists, and they didn't take them seriously.
The two of them were also disappointed and decided to try their luck at another martial arts gym.
After walking into the Gu family courtyard, Xiao Weizhen heard the door ring and knew that the two of them were back, so she rushed out happily.
At this time, Wei Zhen was wearing a small floral cloth coat, her hair was combed into a small braid, and her face was somewhat rosy after a month of rest.
Wei Zhen took the things from the two of them and placed them on a table.
The two took off their felt hats, shook the snow off their bodies and entered the house.
I saw Gu's mother put a plate of food on the dining table and said to the two of them: I'm back.
They were told to wash their hands and eat.
As soon as Wei Zeng and Gu Cha handed the day's gains to Gu Mu, they sat down.
Wei Zhen brought the staple food and sat down.
Seeing the four of them enjoying themselves, they really looked like a family.
Because Wei Zeng lived in Gu's house, he gave the money he earned to Gu's mother.
Gu Mu refused to accept it at first.
Wei Zeng said that he would still need Gu Mu to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation after living here.
He hoped that with the money, Gu Mu could help buy some daily necessities.
I was still young and didn't have much money to spend.
If I needed it, I would ask my mother for it.
Seeing this, Gu's mother said she would save the money for Wei Zeng first.
Seeing her son go out early and come back late every day with Wei Zeng in order to survive and pursue art, his delicate face became more determined, Gu's mother felt distressed and relieved at the same time.

Xiao Weizhen had a difficult life since she was a child, so she learned weaving and embroidery from her mother.
She was already a very good needleworker at a young age.
This month, you can also make some money through needlework, so naturally you will leave it to Gu Mu.
Now that Verity is no longer beaten by her alcoholic father, nor is she threatened by her creditors, and with the love and care of the three people, her personality has gradually become more cheerful, and she is no longer as timid as before.
"The snow should stop tomorrow.
The heavy snow cover is a good time for hunting.
Let's go hunting outside the city tomorrow.
If we are lucky, we can sell it for a good price."
Wei Zeng looked at the heavy snow outside the window and asked Gucha.
Talk about it.
"Okay, anyway, I don't want to go to the martial arts school tomorrow to get angry.
I'll go hunting first to soothe my mood, and then go find a teacher to learn skills."
Gu Chayi also agreed.
"Brother Wei, are you going to hunt outside the city tomorrow?
I want to follow you," Xiao Wei Zhen said.
When Wei Zeng frowned, he quickly said, "I can help you get the prey, and I won't drag you down."
"Wei Zeng, there's no danger in going hunting anyway, just let Wei Zhen go with you."
When Gu Cha saw that Wei Zhen wanted to go, he also helped to persuade him.
"If you want to go, go ahead.
But we will go there for a day, so don't complain about being cold or tired."
Wei Zeng smiled and patted Wei Zhen's head and agreed.
Xiao Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief when Wei Zeng agreed and became happy.
At the dinner table, he kept picking up food for Wei Zeng.
Gu Chayi said sourly: "I also promise you, let you go, just thank you, brother Wei, and leave me alone."
Xiao Weizhen stuck out his tongue at Gu Chayi and added a few more dishes to him.
Then he went to talk to Wei Zeng again.
This made Gu Chayi very depressed.
Gu's mother heard that the two of them were going to hunt for a day, so early the next morning, she cooked some pieces of meat and filled a pot of shochu to serve as dry food for the three of them today.
After breakfast, the three of them covered themselves tightly, took their weapons and left the city.
Guchayi's father was a martial artist and his family had many weapons.
Although Guchayi could not learn martial arts, he must have learned it.
When he shot an arrow, although he could only pull the bow a short distance due to his weak strength and the damage was not great, his accuracy was still very good.
Gucha carried a bow and arrows and held a spear.
Wei Zeng had ten flying knives on his waist and held a steel-tipped staff.
Wei Zhen followed the two of them with dry food and a wine bottle.
After leaving the city, the three of them first explored some of the traps Wei Zeng had set up a few days ago, but found nothing.
It turned out that Wei Zeng and Gucha were busy hunting all day long and could not have much time to hunt, so they set up several traps.
If you check every few days, you can sometimes catch an unlucky beast.
The sky is covered with heavy snow, and the white color extends to the horizon and mountains in the distance, and the woods in the distance are also covered in beauty.
Due to the presence of snow, the traces of wild animals are revealed, and the wild animals can be found by following the traces.
When the sun was high in the sky, I saw a deer looking for food in the woods.
Suddenly an arrow shot it in the leg.
The deer stumbled and ran away.
A flying knife came and hit its neck, and the deer died.
"I'm lucky, I actually caught a deer."

Gucha stepped forward and pulled out the arrows and flying knives, tied the deer's legs and feet with ropes and carried them on his back.
"It's already noon.
Let's take a rest first and eat some dry food before going hunting."
Wei Seng took the flying knife handed over by Gu Cha and said to the two of them.
The three of them cleaned the snow off a big rock under the tree and sat there, eating dry food and drinking wine.
Looking at the little Wei Zhen who was breathing heavily, Wei Zeng handed the jug over and said, "Take a sip to warm yourself up, so you don't freeze."
Wei Zhen took the jug and took a sip, which was so spicy that she shed tears, but also Swallowed.
A surge of warmth made my head feel dizzy, but it wasn't that cold anymore.
Seeing a blush on Wei Zhen's face, Gu Cha smiled and said: "Wei Zhen has become a little drunkard, be careful not to get married in the future.
Haha."
Wei Zhen glared at him, snorted, and ignored him.
The three of them shot four hares, a fox, and a deer all morning.
The harvest was pretty good.
After the rest, the three of them continued to look for traces of wild beasts.
"We have come out a little far.
It gets dark early in winter.
Let's look for a while and then go back.
If it gets dark, we won't be able to enter the city."
The two said yes.
After walking out of the woods, the three of them walked forward and walked around a corner.
They saw an astonishing scene.
They saw five wolves surrounding a warrior holding a spear.
The warrior kept swiping the spear to drive away the wolves that were about to attack.
His clothes There were a few scratches and bite marks, but luckily no one was injured.
"Brother Wei, look, that man is surrounded by wolves, should we save him?"
Wei Zhen was a little surprised to see the wolf, but she was not afraid.
In her eyes, Wei Zeng was omnipotent.
"Wei Zeng, what should we do?
Run or help."
Gu Cha said with a trembling voice, which showed the panic in his heart.
"Wait, wait for the opportunity.
If the person is dead, run away.
If you have a chance, help that person."
Although Wei Zeng was nervous, he immediately made a decision.
I saw a wolf running forward and about to bite the warrior.
The warrior scratched the wolf straight through the body and killed the wolf.
The two wolves took the opportunity to attack the warrior, one from the left and the other from the right.
The warrior swiped his spear to the right and knocked the right wolf to the ground.
He raised his left leg and kicked the left wolf to the ground.
The action was a clean one.
But there were still two wolves, and one of them opened his mouth to bite.
The warrior put the gun barrel against the wolf's mouth to avoid being hurt.
He pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand, aimed it at the wolf's jaw, and penetrated it from bottom to top.
The wolf brain ended up killing this wolf.
Unexpectedly, the last wolf took the opportunity to attack and bit the warrior's left arm.

The warrior endured the pain and swung the wolf away, but a piece of flesh was torn off by it.
After the pain, the warrior's figure slowed down a bit.
The two wolves that had been knocked down earlier started to attack as soon as they got up.
One wolf bit the warrior on the back and tore off a piece of the warrior's cotton coat, only to see the cotton wool flying.
The cold light of the wolf's claws flashed, leaving several blood marks on the warrior's back. .
The second wolf took the opportunity to open its big mouth and bite the warrior's throat.
If there was no accident, the warrior's life would not be saved.
There was just a whooshing sound, and an arrow shot straight into the wolf's eye, but it did not kill the wolf.
The warrior escaped from the hands of death and gave an angry blow.
Using the gun as a stick, he broke the wolf's spine and the wolf fell.
There is more air coming out and less air coming in.
When Gu Chayi shot an arrow, Wei Zeng also fired a flying knife, but the target was the wolf that bit the warrior's arm.
He had seen Gu Chayi's archery skills and knew that he was very accurate in shooting.
He saw the wolf eat the flesh and blood.
Finally, the fierce look in his eyes became even more fierce, and he was about to attack the warrior, so he fired a flying knife and rushed over with a steel-headed staff.
The flying knife hurt the ferocious wolf, causing the wolf to abandon the warrior and rush towards the person who injured him.
Wei Zeng hit the wolf's mouth with his stick, causing blood to flow from the wolf's mouth.
He raised his stick again and hit the wolf in the head, shattering its head and killing it.
As soon as Gucha shot an arrow and Wei Zeng shot a sword almost at the same time, seeing Wei Zeng charging towards a wolf and the warrior also killing a wolf, he dropped his long bow, picked up his spear and charged towards the last wolf.
I saw Gu Cha holding a spear in one hand and stabbing at the wolf.
When the wolf saw someone coming, it rushed over without giving in.
It jumped to the side to avoid the spear, and scratched Gu Cha's leg with a claw.
Gucha blocked the wolf with the barrel of his gun and pushed forward to avoid further damage.
As soon as the wolf retreated, he saw that Wei Zeng had killed his companions and that he was surrounded and fled.
Gucha stabbed him one by one, but the wolf jumped to avoid it.
Wei Zeng held a steel-tipped staff and struck with it.
The wolf jumped and dodged, and then fled in the direction of the injured warrior.
But he didn't expect that although the warrior was injured, he was also the strongest martial artist among the three, so how could he escape from it.
The wolf was knocked to the ground with one sweep from the samurai.
Gucha stabbed the wolf with his spear, but Gucha was now in a state of excitement and could not calm down.
His hands were trembling, his mouth was screaming, and he stabbed the wolf corpse more than a dozen times.
"I killed wolves, I can kill wolves."
There was a hint of madness in his eyes.
Wei Zeng patted his shoulder to calm him down a little
