C52 (2/2)

Wei Qingfeng snorted and said, ”Brother Ren, help me sit up.” Ren Boan knew that he was completely exhausted and had no strength left. He walked over and gently lifted him up, then leaned him against a stone wall.

Even with such a slight movement, Wei Qingfeng felt his entire body twitching in pain, it was just that he forcefully endured it and sat down. He could not help but take a few breaths and cough, then he slowly said: ”Brother Ren, you just did not say anything, what happened?”

Ren Boan hesitated for a moment, then said: ”Just now, we were shot to death by a dozen more arrows from our enemies, and now, there are only twenty over of us left, we are unable to resist anymore.”

Ren Boan replied and walked out. At this time, the cave was silent, only the crackling sound of the burning branches could be heard, Wei Qingfeng stared blankly at the burning branches, feeling that his mind was clearer, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

After a while, Ren Boan brought everyone into the cave. Wei Qingfeng looked at the people who came in, they were either holding on to broken legs, walking sticks, bandages on their heads, being blind, or their entire bodies were covered in blood, none of them were unharmed.

He only felt a surge in his heart, he rushed to his nose, his eyes becoming moist, he choked with emotions and said weakly: ”Brothers, I, Wei Qingfeng, am unable to lead any soldiers, I have caused everyone to follow me and lose their lives, I am sorry.”

Hearing Wei Qingfeng's words, everyone remembered their 70,000 strong army, all of their brothers, friends and comrades. All of their fresh faces had already lost their lives to the Phoenix City.

Seeing this scene, Wei Qingfeng said to Ren Boan softly: ”Brother Ren, go find a flat surface stone.”

Ren Boan didn't know what he was going to do, so he agreed and walked out to find a flat rock. With difficulty, he moved it back and asked to catch his breath: ”Brother Wei, what are you going to do?”

Wei Qingfeng said: ”You took my short knife out from my embrace.”

Ren Boan nodded his head, and retrieved a short knife from his bosom, he then unsheathed the blade sheath, and felt the cold Qi, and knew that it was a good blade that could cut through metal like mud.

Wei Qingfeng slowly said: ”Carve my words on the stone.” With that, he turned his head and asked the officer with the head of the white cloth that was furthest away from him: ”What's your name?”

The soldier who was crying was stunned when he heard Young General asking for his name. He then replied with a choked voice, ”My name is Tong Si Hai, Young General.”

Seeing that he had four limbs and hearing his accent, Wei Qingfeng nodded and said: ”You must be from Jiaodong.”

When Tong Si Hai saw Young General speak of his origins, his heart warmed and he nodded: ”Yes.”

Wei Qingfeng then said to Ren Boan, ”Brother Ren, carve this Big Brother Tong's name on the stone.”

Seeing him like that, everyone did not know what he was trying to do, he was so quiet that he could not make a sound, the men who were loudly howling earlier all stopped, Wei Qingfeng asked a circle of men who had Ren Boan carved everyone's name on the stone, and said: ”Brother Ren, you engraved the name of you and me too.”

Ren Boan nodded, and continued to carve their names on the stone, and then turned to look at him, only to see Wei Qingfeng blankly staring at the fire, thinking of something, and asked: ”Brother Ren, how many people in total are there?”

Ren Boan lowered his head and counted them, before replying, ”Brother Wei, a total of twenty-one... A total of twenty-two people. ”

Wei Qingfeng nodded his head, and said softly: ”Brother Ren, you continue to carve: 'Yu 22 people entered Phoenix City, and met the Nether King Evil Sect, they are all people who deceived the world. However, we did not have enough food, so we are really at the end of our rope here. ”At this moment, the enemy is watching us menacingly from the foot of the mountain, ready to attack us at any moment. We are determined to repay the court with our death wish, to repay the people of this world for our actions.
