Wei Zhengsheng felt that something was wrong. If that Qiao guy could call out Zhang Zhen's name, then he must have seen Zhang Zhen. Now that Zhang Zhen and the others were nowhere to be seen, Wei Zhengsheng started to believe Qin Feng's words.
He was annoyed and annoyed by Wei Changming's incessant questions. He suddenly roared, "Shut up! You said that Qiao guy was lying, so why did he lie? Was he looking for death? Then where did Zhang Zhen and the others go? When are you going to use your brain? "
Wei Changming didn't dare to make another sound. Although Zhang Zhen and the others were nowhere to be seen, he still didn't believe Qin Feng's nonsense. That was the Horseman Gang. How could they be wiped out so easily?
Wei Zhengsheng walked faster and faster, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic.
He had already thrown Qin Feng's matter to the back of his mind. There was an even more troublesome problem that had tormented him for several days.
After a while, Wei Changming couldn't help but complain, "Father, isn't it just that Qiao guy? You don't have to be so worried, right?"
Wei Zhengsheng glared at him angrily and said, "What do you know? That Qiao guy is nothing …"
Wei Changming was stunned. "Father, then what are you worried about?"
Wei Zhengsheng had spoiled his son too much and allowed him to stir up trouble outside. He almost never told his son about the important matters of the family. But now that he was facing a matter of life and death, Wei Zhengsheng couldn't let Wei Changming do as he pleased.
"Stinking brat, let me tell you something serious … Now that the war between Distant Ice City and Meteor City is imminent, the experts of the Sacred Gate have already been dispatched. I'm afraid that they will come to our yamen in a few days. At that time, they will definitely ask me to lead the young men of the village and town to war. If I die in the chaos of war, you'll have nothing to eat …"
Wei Zhengsheng's words scared Wei Changming silly. He didn't have to worry about food or clothing since he was young and was used to the life of a young master. He didn't even know how to cook or wash clothes. If his father really died, what would he do?
"Father, don't scare me. You can't go to war. You can just stay in West Town …"
Wei Changming was naive. Wei Zhengsheng angrily shouted, "Who do you think I am? You don't have to go if you don't want to go? The Sacred Gate's experts are so powerful that even the Distant Ice City's Castellan has to listen to their orders. I'm just a county magistrate. You better prepare yourself. If the Sacred Gate's people really come, I'll give you a huge sum of money. You should run for your life by yourself … "
This was the case in the Divine Great Land. Two cities often fought with each other. Once they fought, people had no way to make a living. Even high-ranking officials like the county magistrate or even the prefectural magistrate would be ordered to lead troops into battle.
Wei Changming's body went soft as he sat on the chair in a daze. This news came too suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.
The atmosphere fell into a cold silence. Wei Zhengsheng sighed continuously and became more and more agitated. Wei Changming, on the other hand, was racking his brains to think of a solution. He did not want his father to go to war. If that happened, his life as a young master would be completely over.
"Father, I thought of a good idea …"
Wei Changming suddenly jumped up. This sudden action gave Wei Zhengsheng a fright. When he regained his senses, Wei Zhengsheng glared at his son with a cold expression. He didn't believe that this kid had any ideas.
"The Sacred Gate wants the officials to go to war. If Father isn't the county magistrate, won't you be able to escape this calamity?" Wei Changming continued.
Wei Zhengsheng's expression changed. He didn't think about this, but he quickly rejected his son's idea. If he resigned now, even if he could keep his life, he would become a lowly commoner in the future. That would be a fate worse than death. He might as well do it now.
"If I don't want to be the county magistrate, you can go beg on the streets …"
Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. Although Wei Zhengsheng was a wily old fox, he only had one son, Wei Changming. He would rather go to war himself than let his son live a poor life.
Wei Changming thought about it and agreed. He would rather his father die in battle than to let him live on the streets.
However, Wei Changming didn't dare to say this out loud. Otherwise, he would definitely be beaten to death by his father.
"Father, I have another idea … Since I can't resign, I can just find an imposter to replace me. When the experts from the Sacred Gate bring the imposter to war, you will still be the county magistrate, and I will still be the son of the county magistrate …"
One couldn't help but say that Wei Changming had too many ideas when it came to survival. Wei Zhengsheng's eyes lit up. "This idea isn't bad. However, now that 20% of the county is in chaos, who would dare to be the county magistrate? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Wei Changming's eyes spun and he immediately said, "I got it. Let's find that person with the surname Qiao. Isn't he here to receive rewards? It's obvious that he is someone who covets money and power. Father can say that he made a great contribution and let him be the county magistrate for a few days. If his performance is good, we can give him a job as a constable in the yamen."
Wei Zhengsheng's expression changed. He had always looked down on this son of his, but he didn't expect his son to come up with such a brilliant plan at such a crucial moment.
After careful consideration, Wei Zhengsheng also felt that this idea wasn't bad and he made up his mind.
… …
The guest room that Qin Feng and Hua Xiaozhen stayed in was not bad. There was a double wooden bed, a dressing table, and a wooden tub for bathing. Hua Xiaozhen sat by the bed and felt like she was dreaming. Young Master Qiao offended the county magistrate's son, injured a bailiff, and even talked back to the county magistrate. In the end, he was hosted by the county magistrate. This was simply unimaginable.
"Young Master Qiao, I, I have a feeling that the county magistrate and the others are up to no good … Why don't we escape in the middle of the night?"
Hua Xiaozhen's expression was filled with worry. She wasn't afraid of being bullied, but she was worried that Young Master Qiao would suffer.
Of course, Qin Feng knew that Wei Zhengsheng and the others were up to no good. However, he came to the yamen to find out the whereabouts of the Spirit Beast Sect. According to Zhang Zhen, the Sacred Gate would send people to the yamen to summon them to battle. Qin Feng planned to stay here for the next few days.
"Xiaozhen, don't worry. If those people dare to do anything bad, I won't forgive them!" Qin Feng spoke as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
After staying with him for so many days, Hua Xiaozhen had already sensed that Qin Feng was abnormal. He looked like a poor commoner, but he had killed many martial artists.
Hua Xiaozhen couldn't persuade him anymore. She hurriedly ran to turn on the water for Qin Feng. She tested the water temperature with her hand and helped Qin Feng change his clothes and bathe.
These days, Qin Feng was already used to being served by Hua Xiaozhen. Especially when he bathed every night, he didn't need to do anything. Hua Xiaozhen took care of everything for him.
Qin Feng lay naked in the wooden basin. He didn't care that Hua Xiaozhen had seen everything. Hua Xiaozhen carefully helped him bathe and asked: "Young Master Qiao, this lowly servant has some questions …"
"Ask away, no need to be polite with me," Qin Feng said.
Hua Xiaozhen finally gathered her courage and said with a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Young Master Qiao, w-where are you from? What does your family do? You seem very powerful. Are you a martial artist? "
Hua Xiaozhen immediately regretted her words. She was just a lowly servant. How could she ask about her master?
Before Qin Feng could speak, he heard a burst of crying behind him. He immediately became depressed: "Xiaozhen, what's wrong?"
However, he heard the crisp sound of a slap. Hua Xiaozhen cried: "This lowly servant deserves to die. This lowly servant shouldn't have asked about my master. Please punish this lowly servant, Young Master Qiao …"
Hua Xiaozhen slapped herself twice in a row. She had no intention of stopping. Qin Feng jumped in fright. He hurriedly turned and carried her into the bathtub. Only then did he realize that Hua Xiaozhen's clothes were wet from the warm water.
Qin Feng didn't care too much. He grabbed the girl's hand and looked at the red fingerprints on her fair and clean face. His heart ached.
"Xiaozhen, did you forget what I told you before? You're not allowed to hit yourself in the future. "Qin Feng was a bit angry.
Hua Xiaozhen trembled in his arms and cried even harder. She found that she always made Young Master Qiao unhappy. At this moment, she wanted to bang her head against the wall and die.
Seeing that she was frightened, the anger in Qin Feng's heart dissipated. He hugged Hua Xiaozhen even tighter and touched her face: "Do you really want to know about my past? I'm afraid it'll scare you … "
Hua Xiaozhen shook her head and then nodded. She was really curious about Qin Feng's identity, but she didn't dare to ask again.
Qin Feng saw that Hua Xiaozhen's clothes were wet and stuck to her body. He was afraid that she would catch a cold: "Go change into some clean clothes first, then I'll tell you."
Only then did Hua Xiaozhen realize that her clothes were wet. Moreover, some parts of her chest were exposed. Her little face flushed red, but she didn't leave. Instead, she took off her clothes in front of Qin Feng.
"Xiaozhen …" Qin Feng jumped in fright. His gaze was fixed on her. So Xiaozhen's figure was this good.
Hua Xiaozhen lowered her head and said in a small voice: "Young Master Qiao, I heard that many young masters like to bathe together. Can this lowly servant accompany Young Master …"
Hua Xiaozhen couldn't continue. She was so embarrassed that her body was about to burn!
Qin Feng hurriedly calmed himself down, but he didn't let Hua Xiaozhen leave. He let her continue to help him bathe …
Qin Feng told her about his situation. He was unfamiliar with the people and land of China, so he really wanted to find someone to talk to. He believed in Hua Xiaozhen's loyalty, so he didn't need to hide anything from a woman.
After Hua Xiaozhen listened to Qin Feng's story, she was dumbstruck!
She covered her small mouth with both hands to prevent herself from screaming. Her eyes were about to fall into the bathtub. After a long time, she opened her mouth and said: "Young Master Qiao, y-you're not from here?"
Qin Feng nodded. He knew this was too shocking. Hua Xiaozhen needed a lot of time to slowly digest it.
Hua Xiaozhen was really stunned, and she was very scared!
So Young Master Qiao was from the outside world. He came to China to take revenge and take away a few friends. When the time came, Young Master Qiao would have to go back. Hua Xiaozhen thought about it and tears flowed down her face. She didn't know what she should do in the future.
"Xiaozhen, what's wrong?" Qin Feng looked at Hua Xiaozhen, baffled. He thought that this woman couldn't be crying, could she?
Hua Xiaozhen bit her lips and didn't speak. She didn't want to say what was on her mind!
