Origin

Because the accident happened so suddenly, Zhu Qianwei didn't know why, and was surprised and confused. He didn't immediately step forward to take it after hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words. Instead, he looked at Wu Zhongyuan and then at the horned dragon halberd stuck on the ground.

Zhu Qianwei needed to think about who Wu Zhongyuan was and why Wu Zhongyuan gave him such a magical weapon as the Horned Dragon Halberd. But his opponents did not need to think about this. Seeing the legendary Horned Dragon Halberd so close at hand, several people stepped forward to explore. Take it by hand.

Seeing that the Horned Dragon Halberd was about to fall into the enemy's hands, Zhu Qianwei made a move. He shook his wrist and pushed the spear across the arm, knocking down several people who came to snatch it. He grabbed the middle part of the Horned Dragon Halberd with his backhand and pulled it out. While retreating, slide your palms back, grab the end of the handle and sweep your arms across it, blocking out the enemies rushing towards you.

"Who are you?" Qi Tong asked loudly, although his voice was not soft but his words were trembling, and he looked as if he was fierce and stern.

Whether it's insulting or sarcastic, including ridicule and attack, it's not the greatest contempt for a person, it's ignoring him. Wu Zhongyuan didn't despise Qi Tong's character, so he ignored him.

Zhu Qianwei had already prepared for death before, and had never thought of reinforcements coming from the sky. He was saved from a desperate situation. Holding the horned dragon halberd in his hand, he immediately noticed the vast spiritual energy surging inside. He couldn't help but become energetic, his morale was boosted, his offensive became more fierce, and his defense became more calm. .

After a few rounds, Zhu Qianwei had a general understanding of this new weapon. Unlike the spear, the horned dragon halberd had two double blades on the front. The double blades were very sharp and could easily cut off the opponent's weapon.

Even with the Horned Dragon Halberd, Zhu Qianwei never killed the enemy. When he attacked, he still wounded but did not kill. After discovering that the double blade could cut off the enemy's weapons, he took the purpose of attacking to destroy the enemy's weapons.

The people who besieged Zhu Qianwei were not his opponents in the first place. They wanted to use up his physical strength through wheel battles. However, the Horned Dragon Halberd is a psychic weapon that can continuously replenish spiritual energy. As long as there is spiritual energy, his physical strength will not be reduced. exhaustion, this way Zhu Qianwei can continue to fight, and the enemy has no intention of fighting at this time, but because the leader is fighting on the sidelines, they have to bite the bullet and rush up.

There is an essential difference between working hard and being passive. Although everyone rushed forward, they no longer tried to kill Zhu Qianwei. They had long discovered that Zhu Qianwei had always been merciful to them, and also discovered that Zhu Qianwei only If he wanted to destroy their weapons, he would raise his weapons and stretch them forward when he charged forward, so that Zhu Qianwei could destroy their weapons more calmly. It was not a good weapon anyway. If he destroyed it earlier, he would not need to fight.

five minutes? Maybe not even three or two minutes later, everyone in the field had their weapons destroyed. Although they were still surrounding Zhu Qianwei, they all looked back at Qi Tong and another middle-aged man while shouting. The unspoken meaning was that it was us. The weapons are all gone, why don't you just shout stop?

The two had no choice but to call everyone back and fulfill their wish.

"What a hero,

State your name. "Qi Tong raised his hands.

"Wu Zhongyuan." Wu Zhongyuan finally answered.

Although there was no news at this time, everyone had heard of the name Wu Zhongyuan, simply because Wu Zhongyuan had done so many shocking things, and these people were not country folk, so it was impossible that they did not even know him.

After Wu Zhongyuan said his name, Qi Tong and others were shocked. However, in addition to being surprised, everyone also had a look of relief on their faces. Who is Wu Zhongyuan? He failed to complete the work assigned by his superiors because of his obstruction. After returning, he had enough Explain the reasons to the leader. If he is defeated by an unknown person, there will be no way to deal with him.

"Who is the new king of Wei City?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

Qi Tong didn't dare not answer but didn't want to show his cowardice in front of his subordinates, so he answered loudly, "The sinner did the wrong thing, and the third lady Cao Rui killed her relatives out of righteousness."

Hearing Qi Tong's words, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized. No wonder Qi Tong's previous conversation with Zhu Qianwei included the phrase "Who said a woman cannot be king?" It turns out that the current king is a woman. This makes sense. Several people who had been influenced by the demon king before They are all women. The demon king may also be able to influence the consciousness of men, but it seems to prefer women. Maybe its body is also a female.

After a brief pause, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "How long will it take for you to return to Kaicheng?"

Everyone didn't understand why he asked this question. After looking at each other, Qi Tong still answered, "Three days."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go."

Wu Zhongyuan's attitude was not good, and it was embarrassing to leave like this. However, Wu Zhongyuan had shown powerful methods before, and they were no match for him. If he wanted the other party to have a good attitude, he had to have the strength to be on an equal footing with them. Since No, I can only walk away in despair.

After everyone in Wei City left, Wu Zhongyuan floated down from the top of the cliff. After landing, he sent out his thoughts to retract the arrows he had shot.

"Thank you for your generous help, sir." Zhu Qianwei thanked him with a salute, then he held the horned dragon halberd in both hands and said, "Return it to my lord."

"I said I gave it to you." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Zhu Qianwei did not hide his love for the Horned Dragon Halberd. After touching it and examining it, he handed it over again, "My lord, I have given you such a generous gift, and I have nothing to repay."

"Don't refuse, I haven't taken back the things I sent out yet," Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the swaddle behind Zhu Qianwei, "Hurry up and change the diaper. It's time to pee."

Zhu Qianwei pointed to the northwest, "There is a cave there, which is where I will stay."

"Let's go and talk." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"My lord, go first." Zhu Qianwei turned sideways.

Wu Zhongyuan left first, and Zhu Qianwei broke the rope and let the goat go free.

The goat's legs were tied and paralyzed, making it difficult to move. After the goat limped away, Zhu Qianwei dodged and left. Without his step, the mechanism was triggered, and the boulder thundered down.

Zhu Qianwei's hiding place was located in the upper reaches of the canyon. The two of them went there together. Seeing that there was still blood seeping out of Zhu Qianwei's chest, Wu Zhongyuan reached out to stop him, pinched his hand and waved his hand, and used the Resurrection of Heaven and Earth to heal the wound on his chest.

Warriors are common, but wizards are not. Zhu Qianwei knew that the Bear Clan had a spell that could heal wounds instantly, but this was the first time he saw it. Seeing the wound on his chest heal miraculously, he couldn't help but be amazed and admired.

"Why did you show mercy to them just now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"There are so many people coming, and I have no hope of breaking out, why kill them?" Zhu Qianwei shook his head and said, "Besides, my family is still in their hands. If I kill them, I'm afraid my family will be implicated and affected. "

"Kai Xi, tell me what's going on." Wu Zhongyuan said again.

It was obvious that Zhu Qianwei didn't want to say it, but Wu Zhongyuan was kind to him for saving his life and also gave him a horned dragon halberd. After hesitation, he still said, "The king's temperament has changed greatly in recent times. He is acting arbitrarily. His actions are often unreasonable, and the people are resentful. deep, eventually triggering a mutiny.”

"What kind of cultivation level is Wei Xi?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"King Wei is hereditary. Your Majesty has no cultivation." Zhu Qianwei shook his head and said.

"When did the change in his character begin?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Before and after the festival." Zhu Qianwei said, then turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, "Why do you ask these things, sir?"

"It's a long story." Wu Zhongyuan organized his thoughts and briefly informed the Demon King of everything he had done while walking.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's words, the gloom and melancholy on Zhu Qianwei's face were wiped away, replaced by regret and indignation. He was a subordinate of Wei Xi. He had advised Wei Xi many times before, but Wei Xi was not convinced. His advice fell on deaf ears, and deep down in his heart he was actually very disappointed with Wei Xi. Now that he knew that the change in Wei Xi's character was due to the influence of the Demon King, he could not help but feel sympathy for Wei Xi and resentment towards the Demon King.

After half a stick of incense, I arrived at the cave where Zhu Qianwei stayed. It was said to be a cave, but in fact it was just a recessed place under the stone wall with a few simple cooking utensils.

After changing the baby's diaper, Zhu Qianwei took some porridge from the copper cauldron and carefully fed it. It could be seen that he was not good at doing this, but he did it very carefully, lest the baby choke, so he only fed a small amount at a time. .

"What are your plans?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"What are your plans, sir?" Zhu Qianwei asked.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "It is not difficult to help you take back Wei City, but the demon king only controlled Cao Rui's mind, not the incarnation. I am not sure of killing it. If the demon king does not die, it will It’s useless to help you recapture Wei City, your safety is still not guaranteed, your cultivation is mediocre, and it may even affect your consciousness.”

"In that case, why would it send people to hunt me down? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just take my life?" Zhu Qianwei was doubtful.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know much about the Demon King. Before this, it only possessed women. It may be more difficult for it to possess men."

Zhu Qianwei nodded and continued to feed the baby without saying another word.

After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan said, "You have two choices now. One is to take the orphan of the late master north to China, and I will settle it properly with you. The other is that I will help you recapture Wei City, and you will rule as the minister of Tuogu. Wei City. Both roads have advantages and disadvantages. The former can ensure your safety, but you need to leave your hometown. The latter you can continue to be with your tribe, but you need to guard against the demon king's plot at any time."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Zhu Qianwei nodded slowly. He nodded to indicate that he agreed with Wu Zhongyuan's analysis, but he just nodded and did not make an immediate decision.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Currently, many tribes in the Southern Wilderness are migrating north to seek refuge. You must have heard that the seal is about to disappear. Even if you continue to stay in Wei City, you will only be in peace for a while, and it is rare to have long-term peace."

Zhu Qianwei turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, "Sir, do you know when the seal will disappear?"

"The end of next year." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What will happen then?" Zhu Qianwei asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "The five seals began thousands of years ago. I know very little about the prehistoric wars back then, and there is little basis for it, so it is naturally difficult to deduce."

Zhu Qianwei didn't ask any more questions. After feeding, he held the baby in his arms and was in a daze.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that he was worried about where to go, so he didn't rush him. He just sat aside and waited for him to think about his decision.

After a while, Zhu Qianwei spoke again, "The psychic weapon is no better than ordinary things. There must be a reason for you to give me this gift, but my cultivation is low and I can't think of anything I can do for you."

"What will happen after the five seals disappear will be an all-round war," Wu Zhongyuan looked directly at Zhu Qianwei, "At that time, I will not only need masters who can take charge alone, but also generals who can command the soldiers..."
