With Zhao Wei's order, everyone in the temple put out all the fires that were created to keep people warm, then had Luo Lingwei and the other two take them behind the idol to hide.

Everyone had set up an ambush around the temple, waiting for the enemy to arrive and start a massacre.

Meanwhile, the men who were with Lu Pingliang had already arrived at the broken temple on their horses while they were talking. There was a long hiss, and the sound of the horses' hooves suddenly stopped. Luo Lingwei, who was hiding in the dark, could only hear the sound of the conversation from outside the broken temple.

"Big Brother, do you think they will be here?"

"It's already late. There isn't a single place to stay in this place. Besides this broken temple, where else can they go?"

"Brother is right. Once we kill them, we will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

Then, the sound of light footsteps could be heard. It was clear that those people had carefully entered the temple.

"Big brother, look. This fire is still hot, they …"

Before the man could finish, there was the sound of metal cutting into flesh and the man's head rolled to the ground.

At this moment, following Zhao Wei's move, more than twenty elite soldiers immediately surrounded these few men.

"Old Eight!" They saw a man with a fierce beard, who was staring angrily at them. He shouted with a sorrowful voice that was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone to the point that their heads were spinning.

"What are you standing there for!?" "Kill these bunch of bastards!" Scarface cursed.

Then, they started to fight with Zhao Wei and the others. After this exchange of blows, Zhao Wei realized that he had underestimated these few people. Although they only had seven people, these seven people were able to fight against the twenty odd elite soldiers led by Zhao Wei and even injured several soldiers.

Zhao Wei saw that someone was injured, so he wanted to go and save them, but on his side, he was being held back by two strong men, unable to escape. The two of them wielded a five-foot-long blade and a Damascus Steel Spear, the two of them cooperating skillfully, causing Zhao Wei to be left and right on the verge of collapse. Even though he was wearing a dark leather armor, they were still injured by the two of them, and even though the two of them did not manage to win against him, they were both covered in blood, but everyone knew that they could only fight with their lives, and if they were not careful, they might lose their lives here.

At this moment, the sun had already set. It was unknown when the moon had appeared in the sky. The night wind blew across the mountain ridges, and the sounds of mountain waves could be heard from time to time. The unknown flowers in the mountains were trying their best to bloom, as if they wanted to carve their short life into this night where the moon hung high in the sky. From time to time, the sound of insects could be heard in the mountains, as if they were dancing and drinking with the branches of the mountain forests that were being blown by the wind.

However, in this beautiful scenery, there was actually a life and death duel in this broken temple. At this time, Zhao Wei had been fighting with the two assassins for a long time. Seeing more and more soldiers being knocked down by the others, Zhao Wei was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

And this time, the moonlight spilled in. When Zhao Wei saw the face of the person he was fighting with, he was shocked and couldn't help but cry out involuntarily.

"Take it off!" "Mu Hetu!"

When those two saw that the person in front of them was Zhao Wei, they were also very shocked.

"Zhao Wei!"

Upon hearing this name, the five men who were fighting turned their heads.

The knife-scarred man was holding two axes, and the moment he heard the name, he instantly became furious and rushed towards Zhao Wei to chop him down.

"Little kid Zhao Wei!" I didn't expect us brothers to meet here! It just so happens that today, new and old grudges will be settled together! " As he spoke, the axe was sent to Zhao Wei's front door. Zhao Wei leaned back and barely dodged the deadly axe. Before the axe could strike Zhao Wei, it had already struck a pillar on the side, causing everyone to feel as if the entire hall was trembling.

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the rest all felt their eyelids twitch. They knew that if they were to fight with this person, they would probably be chopped into two halves within a single round.

As soon as the scar-faced man stepped forward, the remaining six people also quickly followed and surrounded Zhao Wei. Including Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, there were only three or four soldiers left. However, they would still recklessly protect Zhao Wei. They knew that if Zhao Wei died, then they wouldn't be able to survive. After all, this group of people were here to silence them.

Zhao Wei was already wounded, so it was even more difficult for him to face off against the six of them. Even though someone helped him, he knew that Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others were no match for them.

These few people were well-known figures in Fringe City, but now they had somehow snuck into the Central Plains. Back when Zhao Wei was still serving in Fringe City, he had interacted with these people quite a few times. For some reason, they had come together. They had brought a group of fugitives with them, and were trying to rob the merchants on the main road. They had also hacked into the people of Fringe City from time to time.

After that, Zhao Wei ordered the bandits to be exterminated, and they were beaten into a complete mess. The bandits either died in battle or were extorted into the public. Only these few people disappeared without a trace. Who would have thought that they would actually sneak into the Central Plains and even become the deathsworn of the current Son of Heaven's First Party? This shocked Zhao Wei greatly!
