More than ten days later, Wei Zeng, Wei Zhen and Gu Cha were walking on the Yanbei Plain.
The crops in the fields were withered and yellow due to the continuous drought in Yanbeiping.
Apart from the merchants passing by in a hurry, there were only farmers with sad faces on the road.
In Shifeng City, Liu Hexin said that in September, the capital would hold a grand gathering of martial artists from all over the world.
Most of the martial arts masters in the dynasty would attend, and invited Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi to go together.
Wei Zeng said that he had to avenge his mother first before considering other things.
So they agreed to meet in the capital in September, and the two parties parted ways.
Although Gu Chayi wanted to go with Liu Hexin so that he could learn martial arts from him, he thought that he had to help Wei Zeng, so he had to wait until he arrived in the capital.
Of course Wei Zhen followed Wei Zeng.
Before leaving, Wen Di called Wei Zeng to a place alone.
Then he stuffed a purse into Wei Zeng's hand and said that he had picked one up but it was of no use, so he gave it to Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng saw Wen Qizhi's unusual coquettish appearance and wondered whether he should accept the purse.
Just before Wen Di was about to show his anger, Wei Zeng made a correct decision.
Wen Di was also very happy to see Wei Zeng take the purse, and told him to be careful along the way and must go to the capital in September, so that we can witness the grand martial arts event together.
Wei Zeng agreed.
Looking at the appearance of Wen's first daughter, Wei Zeng was very surprised.
"Am I dreaming?"
Wei Zeng asked himself.
Looking at the strange things embroidered on the purse, Wei Zeng was sure that this must be Wen.
The first one was embroidered by myself.
Finally, before leaving, Wen Di said: "If you dare to lose or break your purse, I will make you look good."
Wei Zeng was relieved.
It seemed that all this was not a dream.
But when Wei Zeng came back to his senses, he understood the meaning of the girl's gift of purse.
He wanted to explain something to Wen Di, but Wen Di had already ridden away.
After more than ten days of traveling, Wei Zeng and the others were close to Wei Zeng's hometown, but the closer they got to Wei Zeng's hometown, the more strange the situation became.
The people nearby were very unfriendly to strangers, and Wei Zeng frequently encountered wary looks when he asked for directions to stay overnight or buy food.
They met a group of refugees on the road, but the group of refugees stayed away when they saw Wei Zeng and the others carrying weapons.
Wei Zeng didn't know why, so he was confused.
On this day, Wei Zeng and the others were very tired after a day of traveling.
They wanted to stay overnight, but they found that the nearby houses were empty and there was no one there.
Wei Zeng saw that the county seat was not far away, so he had to take the two of them to the county seat to find a hotel to stay.
There was not a single pedestrian on the road, and there were no farmers working in the fields.
Everything was too quiet.
When we arrived at the county seat, we found that the city gates were closed, the suspension bridge was raised, and the guards on the city walls looked very nervous.
Wei Zeng asked Wei Zhen and Gu Cha to step forward to open the city gate as soon as they stood where they were.
When the soldiers who were looking for the city saw Wei Zeng's warrior coming, they were also very nervous and pointed their bows and arrows at Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng stepped forward and quickly explained: "Master Jun, we are just passers-by.
We just want to go to the city to find a hotel to stay in.
We don't have any malicious intentions."
"You should leave quickly.
The whole city is now under martial law and no one will be admitted into the city.
If you are a tourist, please leave quickly.
The yellow-clothed rebels are about to attack, otherwise we will treat you as rebel spies."
"What happened to the yellow-clad rebellious army?

Could you tell me more, Master Jun?"
"I don't know more.
I just know that there was a rebellion in the south ten days ago.
Several counties in the south were attacked, and one county was captured.
Everyone died.
You hurry up, or we will shoot arrows. ” When Wei Zeng saw that everyone in the city was about to shoot with arrows, he quickly retreated and left the vicinity of the county town with Wei Zhen and Gu Chayi.
Wei Zeng explained to the two of them what they had just heard.
They were also very surprised and wanted to understand why people were so wary of strangers along the way and why there were so many refugees.
So the three of them had to find an empty house, eat some dry food and rest.
Wei Zeng thought about the purpose of his trip, and then thought about the rebellious yellow-clothed rebel army, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"The Yellow Clothes Rebellion Army sounds so much like the Power Cult.
But isn't the Power Cult a cult?
Why did they launch a rebellion?
Do they have the strength?
Could it be that the Heavenly Armor Soldier on Yushan Road never returned has anything to do with this?
Aren't those counties in the south the direction of my hometown?
My hometown was attacked by rebels.
Do I want to take revenge?
Should I avoid the rebels and come back later, or should I take the risk and go now?"
Wei Zeng thought in his mind.
There were too many doubts, and I gradually fell asleep while thinking.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard noises from around him.
The alert Wei Zeng immediately woke up and looked around.
He saw torches everywhere, and there were thousands of people under the torches.
Some power believers in yellow clothes and yellow ribbons on their heads were directing the crowd.
Listening to the sporadic shouts, this group of people wanted to attack the county town overnight.
They also said that the Jingnan Army had already chased them and they had to stop at Jingnan.
When the army reaches the front, they capture the city and then defend it against the enemy.
Except for the leading men in yellow, the others were all dressed in tatters, holding wooden sticks and farm tools in their hands.
They only wore yellow cloth wrapped around their bodies as a sign.
At first glance, they were poor farmers who had been kidnapped by the rebels.
Wei Zhen and Gu Chayi had also woken up, looking at the scene around them with surprise.
They all looked at Wei Zeng and asked him for advice.
"If we were discovered by them, once we were trapped in a tight siege, it would be difficult for the three of us to escape, so we quietly moved towards the edge of the rebel army, seized the opportunity and ran to the reed marsh over there.
I am still concerned about the reed marsh.
It’s very familiar.
Once we get there, we will definitely be able to escape.”
Wei Zeng and his three men walked towards the reed swamp under the cover of night.
This army was not regular.
These people walked without any formation and looked like a chaotic mob.
There were no people going around to investigate and warn, they just kept rushing towards the county seat, so Wei Zeng and the other three easily reached the vicinity of the reed swamp.
But just as the three of them were about to enter the reed marsh, a group of black shadows appeared on the left side of the three, a group of rebels armed with wooden sticks and farm tools.
Wei Zeng and the others were shocked when they saw this.
They quickly drew their weapons and tried to fight and flee.
"Don't be nervous, we are also trying to escape, not here to catch you.

Those men in yellow are all vicious and said that if we don't follow them, they will kill us all.
We are also being coerced.
We just found the opportunity.
He took his family and escaped," one person said quickly when he saw Wei Zeng and the others pulling out their weapons.
Wei Zeng saw that there were indeed no powerful believers among these people, and there were many old, weak, women and children who seemed to have really escaped, so he went his separate ways and fled.
After Wei Zeng and the others fled into the reed marsh, they heard someone from behind shouting, "Someone has escaped.
Go catch them and punish them.
I'll see who dares to escape in the future."
Then there was a noise and footsteps.
Wei Zeng also heard the rustling of reeds caused by people running away in three or four places around the reeds after the man shouted.
It seemed that there were quite a few fleeing rebels.
No wonder they were discovered so quickly.
Wei Zeng, Wei Zhen and Gu Chayi also fled deep into the reeds.
After escaping for an unknown amount of time, when they pushed aside a clump of reeds in front of them, they encountered a group of resting rebels.
There were three people in yellow clothes and more than twenty farmers who were being coerced.
It seemed that these people did not go to arrest the deserters, nor did they want to go back to attack the city, but were just lazy here.
It turned out that the reeds were extremely dense and the darkness made it difficult to see and distinguish objects.
Wei Zeng relied on his voice to avoid his pursuers along the way.
Unexpectedly, he encountered this group of lazy rebels.
"Brothers, you are very lucky.
I didn't expect that if we didn't catch rabbits, the rabbits would be delivered by ourselves.
Let's go together and catch them back to receive the reward."
A man in yellow said to everyone.
Wei Zeng secretly cursed his bad luck and shot a rebel soldier who was chasing him with a flying knife.
Gucha Yiyi shot a rebel soldier who was holding wood.
Wei Zhen held a dagger to protect himself.
Those The rebels couldn't even get close.
It was inconvenient to walk in the reed swamp, and the sound would reveal their whereabouts.
The enemy was so numerous that the three of them were surrounded in a short time.
However, except for the three men in yellow, these rebels were all farmers who had been brought in.
The hands holding the weapons were trembling and they did not dare to fight hard, so the three were unharmed for the time being.
"Boss, these people don't seem to be runaways.
They look like some martial arts masters passing by.
They are very difficult to deal with."
A man in yellow clothes said to the leader.
"So what, there are only three of them and one girl.
We have more than 20 people and we can't deal with them.
You all work harder for me.
If you can't even take them down, I will beat you to death when I get back."
The leader yelled at the rebels.
The rebellious troops were frightened and worked harder, putting more pressure on Wei Zeng and the others.
Seeing this, Wei Zeng knew that if he didn't kill these three leaders, he would probably be entangled by this group of people all the time.
If more reinforcements arrived, he would be in danger.
Wei Zeng stopped retreating and pushed towards the leader.
Gu Chayi and Wei Zhen understood what Wei Zeng was doing and cooperated with Wei Zeng to kill him.

Seeing this, the leader quickly retreated and let people block him. in front of myself.
Wei Zeng used his strength to push up an incoming rebel soldier with his shield, rolled forward and reached the leader's feet, and hit the leader's leg with his staff.
The leader couldn't retreat in time and fell to the ground wailing.
Then he received a blow from Wei Zeng in the chest and became silent.
As soon as Gu Cha took advantage of Wei Zeng to open a gap, he also rushed out and stabbed another man in yellow.
The man in yellow resisted several attacks from Gu Cha and was stabbed with several wounds.
He was dying. .
Wei Zhen used his sword to push back the advancing rebels and cover Wei Gu's attack.
The last man in yellow hurriedly ran back, trying to avoid the crowd.
Wei Zeng hit the man in the back with his javelin, nailed him to the ground, and killed him.
Seeing that their leader was killed, all the rebels lost their will to fight.
They had been forced to come here, but now that their leader was killed, one person dropped his weapon and fled, so everyone fled.
Wei Zeng, Weizhen and Gucha rectified themselves a little, then hurriedly left this place of right and wrong and ran deep into the reeds.
At this time, there was a huge fire in the direction of the county town, and it seemed that the yellow-clad rebels had begun to attack the city
