The tall and sturdy man immediately turned around to fight with the two men. The middle-aged man ran a few steps and fell to the ground with a cry of 'Aiyo'. It turned out that Lu Fei had kicked him. The middle-aged man thought that Lu Fei was an accomplice of that man. He suddenly raised his hand towards Lu Fei. Lu Fei instantly understood that the middle-aged man was going to shoot something like a sleeve arrow. With his vast experience, Lu Fei immediately jumped away, and the middle-aged man's sleeve arrows all landed in the air.
After he released the arrow, he immediately got up and ran away. Lu Fei took two steps forward and grabbed his neck. The middle-aged man suddenly turned around, and a cold light flashed in his hand. A blue dagger was aimed at Lu Fei's heart. Lu Fei saw that the dagger was dipped in poison. He reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it, and cut his own shoulder.
When the cart passed by, Lu Fei jumped on it and said, "You're not bad."
The brawny man said, "You're not bad, either. I'm Dian Wei. May I know your name?"
Lu Fei realized that the man was Dian Wei. No wonder he was so strong. He told the man his name. Seeing that someone had caught up with him, Dian Wei immediately took out a pair of short halberds from the cart and smashed one of the men who was about to jump on the cart. The man hurried to block with his saber, but Dian Wei smashed him off the cart together with his saber. The man's saber was broken into halves, and there was no telling whether he was dead or alive. Seeing how tough Dian Wei was, the others dared not chase him anymore.
Dian Wei sniffed and returned to Lu Fei. He said, "Thank you for your help, or the bastard would've escaped."
Lu Fei asked curiously, "Who's this man? Does he have a grudge against you? "
Dian Wei said, "His name is Li Yong. He defiled the wife of my fellow townsman a few years ago. I'm here to avenge him."
Lu Fei nodded and said, "I see. Where are you from, Brother Dian?"
Dian Wei said, "I live in the town up ahead."
Lu Fei said, "This time you killed this man, I am afraid the authorities will come to arrest you. What are you going to do?"
Thinking for a long time, Dian Wei said, "Who cares? My parents died early, and I don't have a wife. I can always run for my life."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "I just came out to play, so I might as well escape with you for a while. How about we go to the city for a drink first?"
Hearing that they were going to drink, Dian Wei slapped his leg and said, "Why do we have to go to the city?" As he spoke, he took out two jars from under the tarpaulin in the carriage. He then opened a package of cooked beef and said, "There's ready-made beef here."
Lu Fei laughed aloud and said, "Brother Dian is also an object in a cup."
Dian Wei opened both jars of wine and gave one of them to Lu Fei. "Every man likes to have a drink." The two of them clinked their jugs and drank a few mouthfuls. Lu Fei drank the glutinous rice wine. After drinking it, there was a mellow taste of glutinous rice wine in his mouth. He felt that it tasted much better than beer. After eating two pieces of beef, he asked, "Do you know which town is up ahead?"
Dian Wei said, "That's a palanquin up ahead. You've done me a great favor. I'll buy you a drink in the city."
Lu Fei said, "It's not a big deal. I should be the one to buy you a drink, Brother Dian, since you're such a good man."
The two of them argued for a while, and Dian Wei insisted on buying him a drink. Seeing that Dian Wei was going to chop him up if they continued arguing, Lu Fei gave up. Dian Wei laughed, and the two of them continued drinking. After they entered the city, Dian Wei picked a decent restaurant and had a good meal. It was already afternoon when they came out. They walked on the street with their arms around each other's shoulders. Dian Wei even abandoned the carriage and kept talking to Lu Fei about his past.
Lu Fei had a basic understanding of his background. Dian Wei's parents died when he was a child, and he had been a beggar since he was a child. He was already very strong when he was young and worked as a porter on the docks to make a living. He didn't save much money. He was impulsive and didn't make many friends. After hearing what happened to his hometown, he immediately caught up with his own carriage to seek revenge. Although he didn't say it out loud, Lu Fei saw it with his own eyes.
Lu Fei saw that his clothes were also tattered, and the patches were probably sewn on by himself. It was so rough that he immediately pulled him into a tailor's shop and bought a brocade robe for him to wear. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Dian Wei was almost two meters tall in the first place, and he looked even more majestic after he put on the new clothes. However, the clothes were still too small, and the shop owner said that it was the largest size.
Dian Wei didn't care much about his clothes, but he felt that Lu Fei was really a nice guy after seeing how extravagant he was. He called him brother and talked about everything with him. They picked the most luxurious inn in the city and slept together that night. The next morning, Lu Fei invited him to the most luxurious restaurant in the city for dinner and the best wine. Seeing that Lu Fei was so extravagant, Dian Wei asked him about his identity, only to learn that he had a lot of properties in the Youzhou Province and had countless experts. When Lu Fei mentioned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Dian Wei was even more eager to meet them. He said, "I'll die without regrets if I can compete with them."
Lu Fei said with a smile, "Brother Dian, if you're willing to do me the honor, you can stay in my house for a few days in the future."
Dian Wei laughed and said, "That's for sure. Let's have a few more bowls of wine."
The two of them drank until the sky turned dark. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Lu Fei heard countless footsteps coming up the stairs. The door to their room was knocked open, and a group of soldiers stood guard outside. The leader, a man in a brocade robe, sneered and said, "The two of you seem to be in a leisurely mood. You're still drinking here when disaster is imminent."
Angry that they were interrupting his drinking, Dian Wei slapped the table and roared, "Who are you? Get the hell out of here."
The man in the brocade robe waved his hand and said, "Catch them."
A team of soldiers immediately unsheathed their sabers and charged at them. Dian Wei grabbed the solid wooden chair next to him and smashed them to the ground. The chair was made of Phoebe Phoebe wood and was extremely heavy, but Dian Wei waved it like a toy. In the blink of an eye, a dozen soldiers who charged at him were smashed to the ground, and the chair was broken into pieces. Holding a piece of wood in each hand, Dian Wei roared, "Who else is coming?"
The crowd outside the door suddenly separated, and a sword aura darted close. Lu Fei knew that it was an expert. Thankfully, Dian Wei reacted quickly and blocked the attack with two pieces of wood. The man waved his longsword and cut off all the wood in Dian Wei's hands. Seeing that the man's sword technique was excellent, Dian Wei immediately retreated.
Lu Fei seized the opportunity and slashed at the man's longsword.
