Chapter 4

Although Du Niang died, Chen Wei's fighting spirit was aroused. Before he found Zhuge Liang and sent him back with the eight formations, he vowed to live a good and wonderful life in this troubled world!

Chen Wei regained his self-confidence, and made up his mind to go to Longzhong to find Zhuge Liang, who is famous in history.But when he looked at the horizon dyed orange by the setting sun, he didn't know the direction, so he had to return to Shan County, intending to ask someone for directions.

The thieves had retreated, the streets were in a mess, and the survivors cried bitterly while hugging their dead relatives. The desolate scene was unbearable to watch.Chen Wei was in a sad mood. Fortunately, before leaving the mountain, Du Niang gave her all the money she had accumulated over the years to him for safekeeping, so he was able to find a place to stay in a sluggish inn for the night. Purchased some dry food and a dagger.Dry food is eaten on the road, and the dagger is used for self-defense.After getting ready, Chen Wei left Shan County.

But Longzhong is far away, and the transportation in ancient times was extremely inconvenient. It would take many days and nights to go to Longzhong, and the soldiers were in chaos along the way.But in troubled times, how can it be easy to be alone.Just when he was passing through a dilapidated town and was about to replenish some dry food, a horse suddenly ran up the dirt road in front of him, and a defeated general was sitting on the horse's back. Shouting: "Heavy man, help!"

Chen Wei almost instinctively drew out his dagger, and sure enough, seven or eight pursuers appeared behind the defeated general.

The defeated general's mount should have run a long way, but it was powerless, and it fell in front of Chen Wei, and the defeated general on his back fell off the horse.If Chen Wei was selfish, he should have avoided it far away, so as not to get angry.But seeing that the chasing soldiers were going to kill him, Chen Wei, who had seen too many dead people these days, finally made a move. With his extraordinary martial arts skills, he was not at a disadvantage in the face of eight fierce soldiers, but he lacked actual combat experience after all. Coupled with physical exertion, over time, Chen Wei showed signs of fatigue.Chen Wei knew that he was invincible, and the opponent might have follow-up soldiers, so it was not suitable to fight for a long time. When he tried his best to temporarily force the opponent away, he grabbed the defeated general and ran away.But it was obvious that the status of the defeated general was unusual, and those chasing soldiers were so relentless in their pursuit.Fortunately, these days Chen Wei is used to fleeing and evading. Seeing that he led the defeated general into a dense bush, he managed to get rid of the pursuers.In the end, I was still worried, and ran for a long time until I ran out of the woods before stopping to rest.

"My name is Niu Fu, little brother, didn't you ask for advice?" The defeated general was lucky to survive with Chen Wei's help, overjoyed in his heart, he cupped his hands and asked Chen Wei.

"My surname is Chen, and one name is Wei." Chen Wei replied.At this moment, Chen Wei began to look at the other party. This man was in his thirties, with a short stature, but with a huge head, thick bones, and blood on his face. He wanted to go through a bloody battle.

Niu Fu bowed his hands in thanks: "Brother Chen, you saved Niu Fu today. I, Niu Fu, am grateful for this kindness. When I join the big army, there will be a big reward!"

However, Chen Wei politely rejected the other party's kindness and prepared to leave.

Niu Fu saw that Chen Wei did not ask for repayment for his kindness, he liked Chen Wei even more in his heart, and insisted on persuading him to stay, saying: "Brother Chen is young, but his skill is extraordinary. Father-in-law, if you don't dislike it, why don't you stay and help me, and I will guarantee your prosperity and wealth!"

Chen Wei couldn't help being startled when he heard Dong Zhuo's name.Dong Zhuo's name, Chen Wei's so-called thunderous.In history, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as a role that has been infamous for thousands of years.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Emperor Xiandi was offered up, Dong Zhuo, the leader of Xiliang warlords, was a powerful official who controlled the emperor and ruled the world. His official position was as high as the grand master, and he controlled the power in the court.He was cruel and bloodthirsty, and he acted perversely, which led to the alliance of heroes, but the alliance army disintegrated shortly after Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an.It has been nearly three months since Chen Wei came to this era, and according to this calculation, Dong Zhuo was in power at the moment, but half a year later, he fell into the "beauty trick" of the old court official Wang Yun and died at the hands of his adopted son Lu Bu.

Chen Wei didn't expect that he would save the son-in-law of the treacherous official Dong Zhuo by mistake, and couldn't help but curse God's will for tricking people.But things have been like this, and Chen Wei can't help but regret it.And Niu Fu wanted him, Chen Wei, to serve him, so that was impossible.You must know that Dong Zhuo was killed half a year later as a national traitor, punishing the nine clans, and getting involved with him is simply courting death.

Seeing Chen Wei bowing his head in thought, Niu Fu thought that Chen Wei's heart was moved, and immediately said happily: "Little brother, Emperor Han Xian is just a puppet now, but the Grand Master is actually the real emperor. After following me, do you still have any worries?"

Chen Wei sneered in his heart, it's true that he might lose his life if he followed you.Just when Chen Wei was about to resign, the plain outside the forest was suddenly filled with dust, and horses neighed, apparently a large number of soldiers and horses appeared.

Chen Wei's expression changed, but Niu Fu waved his hands happily and said, "Don't be afraid, you are my soldier!"

Chen Wei calmed down a little, and looked from a distance, and he saw the soldiers and horses rushing up holding a big banner with the word "ox" written on it!In the blink of an eye, the soldiers and horses had arrived in the forest. When they saw Niu Fu, all the soldiers immediately dismounted and saluted.

"The general was attacked by the enemy on the way, so the rescue came late, which surprised the general!" A bearded soldier came to Niu Fu and said, clasping his hands.

When Chen Wei saw this person, his heart was shocked. This person was the thief who killed Du Niang half a month ago!Seeing the enemy, Chen Wei felt a killing intent on his body, and he clenched the dagger tightly in his hand, but his reason overcame his impulse, and he did not strike recklessly.

"Hmph, Li Meng, do you know that this general almost died at the hands of the enemy? I don't think you encountered an enemy attack, but you deliberately delayed the rescue. If this general dies, you can take over my position, right?" Niu Fu was obviously extremely angry.

Chen Wei looked at the bearded cheeks, secretly remembering his name "Li Meng".

Hearing Niu Fu's accusation, Li Meng hurriedly knelt down on one knee and begged for forgiveness: "The last general dare not!"

He seemed flustered, but there was a fleeting killing intent in his eyes.Because he lowered his head, he did not hide the truth from Niu Fu, but fell into the eyes of Chen Wei who had been paying attention to him.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for your father Li Ru's sake, I would definitely kill him!" Niu Fu waved his sleeves angrily.

Hearing Li Ru's name, Chen Wei felt familiar, and suddenly remembered that Dong Zhuo seemed to have two sons-in-law in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Li Ru was one of them. Established the emperor, once appointed Li Ru into the palace to poison the young emperor Liu Bian.Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he advises him on all matters big and small, so he can be called a think tank.But the reputation in history is also bad, and he is treacherous and vicious.This Li Meng was bloodthirsty, and his methods were ruthless, just like the saying "like father, like son".

Although Niu Fu and Li Ru are both Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, their relationship has never been good, and they even fought openly and secretly.Li Ru sent his son Li Meng to serve Niu Fu. This time the rescue was late and he had ulterior motives.But Dong Zhuo relied heavily on Li Ru, and Niu Fu was the reason why he didn't dare to kill Li Meng.

After Niu Fu scolded and vented his anger, he solemnly introduced Chen Wei, who had rescued him, to all the soldiers.When Li Meng looked at Chen Wei, hatred flashed in his eyes, but Chen Wei expected that Li Meng would not recognize him, but hated himself for saving Niu Fu.

"Brother Chen, are you willing to serve under my command?" Niu Fu looked at Chen Wei with a very good attitude.First, because Chen Wei saved his life, and because of Chen Wei's extraordinary skills when he saved him, he thought that Chen Wei was a rare talent.

After Chen Wei glanced at Li Meng, thinking that he would have a chance to kill Li Meng to sacrifice Du Niang's spirit in heaven, he changed his mind and bowed his hands in thanks.

Seeing that Chen Wei agreed, Niu Fu was overjoyed and ordered someone to prepare a horse for Chen Wei, and the group went back to his camp.
