The night was getting darker. After sorting out the accounts in the store, Fang De took out an exquisite pocket watch inlaid with gold and treasures from his arms. He saw that it was almost time, then he got up and tidied up a little and went out the back door.
There was a carriage waiting in the secluded alley at the back door. The driver, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but a calm demeanor, stepped forward to greet him and called out in a low voice: "Helmsman."
This person's name is Jiao Kui, and he is a master who directly belongs to Hu Longtu, the chief helmsman of the "Tiandihui".
Hu Longtu considered that Fang De had a heavy responsibility, but he had not practiced martial arts due to insufficient innate talent, so he specially arranged for Jiao Kui to secretly protect his safety as a coachman.
Fang De nodded slightly in response, then lifted his legs and got on the carriage.
When Fang De sat down in the carriage, Jiao Kui shook the reins and urged the strong horse pulling the carriage to the east.
Not long after, the carriage had arrived at the East City Gate.
It was already dark at this moment, and the city gate had long been closed.
But when the vehicle approached, the soldiers guarding the gate saw two lanterns with the word "square" hanging on the vehicle, but no one came forward to question them. The leader, a thirty-year-old chief, only waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately opened and locked the locks, allowing Jiao Kui to drive out of the city and drive away.
The healthy horse trotted all the way, holding the vehicle and heading east.
After walking for about half an hour, we came to the door of a dyeing workshop built against the river.
After Fang De got off the car, he and Jiao Kui came to the door together. Jiao Kui raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
Even if slight footsteps were heard, the two doors opened inwards. A middle-aged man looked at Fang De and Jiao Kui, did not speak, only cupped his hands and stepped aside. .
Fang De and Jiao Kui both raised their hands and returned the salute. They both walked past the middle-aged man without saying a word.
When they arrived at a printing and dyeing room filled with cloth of various colors, they saw a man and a woman smiling at each other.
The man was tall and tall, with a dark face that held power; the woman was as beautiful as a peach and a plum, with a smile as bright as a flower. Judging from the looks on each other's faces, they should be a couple.
Fang De hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "These two are Master Wen Si of 'Thunder Hand' and 'Mandarin Duck Sword' Luo Nuxia. I have been waiting for you for a long time, but Fang is rude."
This couple is Wen Tailai and Luo Bing.
When they saw Fang De, they were all a little surprised.
With their experience and eyesight, they could tell at a glance that Fang De, who was full of bookishness, really had no skills in martial arts.
Among the people they knew, the chief helmsman Chen Jialuo and the "Golden Flute Scholar" Yu Yutong were both dressed as scholars, but they each had superior martial arts skills. The person in front of them was in charge of the southern "Suzaku Branch" of the "Tiandi Hui". Captain Fang is a frail scholar who looks the same on the inside.
Although they didn't know why this weak scholar could order the heroes of the "Heaven and Earth Society" from Huguang, Liangjiang, and other provinces, the couple did not dare to show any slights and returned the favor at the same time.
Wen Tailai smiled and said: "Master Fang is exaggerating. Mr. Wen has long heard that President Hu has four major commanders under his command: 'Qinglong', 'White Tiger', 'Suzaku' and 'Xuanwu'. They are all great heroes and heroes who are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty." , I have the honor to meet with Captain Fang today, what a blessing it is!"
Fang De hurriedly said humbly: "I'm ashamed that Fang is just a scholar. How can he deserve such high praise from the four masters? It is the masters of the 'Red Flower Club' who are the real heroes."
After a routine business exchange, Wen Tailai took out a book about an inch and a half thick from his arms with great care, handed it to Fang De with both hands, and said seriously: "According to the previous instructions of Taoist Hu Yuan of your association. According to the appointment, Mr. Wen, on the orders of Mr. Chen, brought the undersea roster recording the names and origins of the 3,651 core brothers of our society, and asked Mr. Fang to forward it to Mr. Hu for collection. "
Fang De also took the roster in his hands with great solemnity, bowed his hands again, and said sincerely: "It really makes Fang Mou feel indescribable that all the heroes in your association understand the righteousness so well. I only hope that we can work together with you and my family." Next, expel the Qing Yi from the pass as soon as possible and restore the mountains and rivers of our Han family!"
Suddenly, a sneer suddenly reached the ears of the four people present: "Hey, you are so bold!"
"who is it?"
The four people all changed their colors. Wen Tailai, Luo Bing and Jiao Kui each pulled out their weapons, while Fang De held the roster tightly in his arms.
The two doors that were previously closed were suddenly pushed back with great force, and many people with different appearances filed in. Among them, four were powerful and powerful, dressed as martial arts kings, five were tall and strong, dressed as Mongolians, and nine others. They are all Tibetan monks with a calm demeanor.
After entering the room, the eighteen masters spread out to both sides, forming a vague tendency to surround the four people.
A tall and handsome young man wearing a black satin cloak slowly walked in from the open front door. His eyes as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife swept over the four people one by one, and finally settled on Fang De. On the roster in his arms, he sneered: "I, the nine-door admiral Ordo, have been ordered to capture the rebels of the 'Tiandihui' and the 'Honghuahui'. It has been more than a hundred years since I, the Qing Dynasty, entered the Central Plains of Guan Dingding, and now I can say that everyone has returned home. The country is at peace and the people are at peace. However, you rebels are unwilling to rest in peace. You spend all your time trying to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. You are simply throwing an egg at a stone and overestimating your own capabilities!"
Fang De's hands holding the roster trembled slightly, but there was no look of fear on his face. He also sneered and responded in a calm voice: "In order to stabilize the country, Emperors Kang and Yong did some good things. But this After all, the world of flowers and flowers belongs to our sons of the Han family. Today, Qianlong is arrogant and extravagant, loves great achievements, and does many foolish and rebellious things, and the people have suffered for a long time. The boat can be overturned in just one thought of the people in the world!"
Erdo relied solely on his martial arts to rise to power. In terms of his verbal and verbal skills, he was completely different from Fang De, a scholar. He was refuted at that time and was speechless. He could only shout in anger: "The rebels should stop using their words and hurry up." If you hand over the name list quickly, you may be exempted from the death penalty!"
Wen Tailai flicked the blade of the steel knife in his hand with his finger, and made a loud and high-pitched clang. He looked around and said coldly: "If you want the list, you must first ask Wen about the knife in his hand!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp shout suddenly came from the roof: "Yes, you must ask the master's fist first!"
Accompanied by these words, two people used heavy techniques to break the roof and then landed next to Fang De. It was Miao Cuihua and Fang Shiyu, mother and son.
Fang De was greatly surprised: "Cuihua, Shiyu, how can you..."
Fang Shiyu said with a smile: "Dad, you are really impressive. I have never admired you as much as I do today!"
Miao Cuihua shouted with an angry look, "You damn ghost, you're actually trying to imitate others and join some kind of gang without saying a word. I'll settle the score with you when I get home!"
Seeing this family of three talking and laughing as if there was no one around, Erdo's handsome face turned black with anger and shouted: "You are still thinking about messing around when you are about to die. I have to say 'admiration'!"
Fang Shiyu muttered: "Why are there so many people in Hubei? Don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. You have a little more people, but I can kill ten of these stinky watermelons and rotten sweet potatoes!"
Since his defeat at the hands of Hu Huan in Foshan, he has known his shame and worked hard. His martial arts have improved rapidly, and he has gradually surpassed his mother. He is only a hair away from being at the top of the world. It is not arrogant to say "fight ten" words.
"Are you good at fighting?" A sarcastic look appeared on Erdo's face, and he suddenly raised his hands and slapped each other three times.
Before the applause lingered, all the windows of this spacious dyeing room were smashed at the same time. Dozens of Qing soldiers appeared outside the windows and at the door. Each of them had a long musket with a flat end, and the black muzzle pointed in the direction. Germany and other four people.
Erdo looked at the four of them with a look of pride on his face, saying, "Under the fire of fifty refined muskets from the Shenji Battalion, it's up to you to see if you can escape and ascend to heaven. Open..."
"shot!"
A shout of command was issued before Erdo, followed by a series of crackling gunshots like exploding beans.
The fifty Qing soldiers from the Shenji Battalion were pierced by bullets fired from behind before they could even fire a single shot, and they screamed and fell forward.
