While knowing that his family had been transferred away, Fang She also knew the hiding place of the remnants of the Zhennan Army... ···
Because the Zhennan Army had been defeated, Fang Snake could not contact the remnants of the Zhennan Army, so he came to this private house out of desperation!
Fang She originally thought that the remnants of the Zhennan Army would be hiding in this private house, but when they came to this private house, they did not find the remnants of the Zhennan Army. Instead, they found gold bars hidden in the closet!
After seeing the existence of these gold bars, Fang She also realized that the remnants of the Zhennan Army would not give up this wealth easily, so he stayed in this private house and tried to wait and see!
As expected, Fang She waited for the big fish Xu Tu in just one day!
Looking at Xu Tu who was curled up on the ground in agony but still silent, Fang Snake had a cruel look in his eyes!
To be honest, he didn't have much loyalty to Xu Zhaojie, the Zhennan Army, and the Xu family. He knew that Xu Zhaojie asked him to be the commander of the so-called Thousand Tiger Guards, not really because of his ability, but entirely because of the Xu family. Not useful enough!
The Fengwu Army put too much pressure on him on the battlefield, so in order to deal with the pressure brought by the Fengwu Army, Xu Zhaojie needed intelligence support and needed to monitor the Zhennan Army's civil and military officials for him to prevent them from rebelling. You need to do dirty things yourself to raise money and food for him··························
And if the Xu family can do a little of these things, the position of commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards will not fall to Fang She!
And even though Xu Zhaojie needed Fang She's abilities to serve him, Xu Zhaojie didn't have much trust in him. Not only did he take Fang She's family as hostages, he also placed many cronies in the Qianhu Guard to monitor Fang She. Fang Snake knows all about this!
Faced with this distrustful attitude, it was impossible for Fang She not to resist. Especially when Xu Zhaojie deliberately showed a sense of trust in order to win over him, Fang She felt even more disgusted, but on the surface I still have to pretend to be grateful!
Therefore, Fang She didn't have much loyalty to Xu Zhaojie and the Zhennan Army in his heart. What little loyalty he had left was almost exhausted by various temptations and pulls with Xu Zhaojie over the years!
In fact, Fang She even felt that he had done too many dirty things for Xu Zhaojie over the years, and he had made a lot of enemies inside and outside the Zhennan Army. These people wanted to skin Fang She and cramp him, eat his flesh and drink his blood!
And if the Fengwu Army had not suppressed the situation and forced Xu Zhaojie to rely on the Thousand Tiger Guards led by him, then Xu Zhaojie would probably have killed his entire family to ease the conflicts inside and outside the Zhennan Army!
Even so, Fang She was vaguely aware that he was just given a suspended sentence by Xu Zhaojie. As long as the situation of the Zhennan Army on the battlefield improved, or the pressure on the Fengwu Army on the battlefield weakened, other parties would The snake crisis will arise again·························
Understanding these truths, Fang She continued to work for Xu Zhaojie, but his family was held hostage by Xu Zhaojie. In addition, he killed too many Fengwu Army spies at Xu Zhaojie's request, offending the Fengwu Army's Coordination Office. He is dead, so he understands that it is a helpless move to join the Fengwu Army and die faster!
To tell the truth, Fang She, the commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards, did not think that Xu Zhaojie could really change his destiny and make a comeback in the face of the powerful offensive of the Fengwu Army!
Therefore, Fang Snake secretly prepared a way out for himself and his family during this period, preparing to escape in the chaos after the Zhennan Army was defeated!
Fang She knew that he had offended the Coordination Office to death. Once the Fengwu Army won the war, the Coordination Office would definitely not let him go easily!
Therefore, looking at the entire land of China, there is no place for Fang She. Therefore, in Fang She's plan, once the Zhennan Army is defeated, he will take his family to Jiangnan first, and then go to Nanyang from Jiangnan!
While doing dirty work for Xu Zhaojie over the years, Fang She himself has not been idle. He has also filled his pockets silently. As early as more than a year ago, he had a premonition of the prospects for the Zhennan Army and himself. Unfortunately, Fang Snake has quietly transferred his wealth to Nanyang!
Although it is impossible to transfer all the wealth to Nanyang, as long as you can successfully escape with your family, then there is no problem in being a wealthy man for the rest of your life. ············
Originally, everything was in Fang Snake's plan. Fang Snake thought that the Zhennan Army could hold on for a while, so he was not in a hurry to run away with his family!
But no one expected that He Jingyun led the Fengwu Army to make such rapid progress, which also caused Xu Zhaojie's original strategy of holding firm in Jingchu to go bankrupt, and indirectly led to Xu Zhaojie's defeat and capture!
And with Xu Zhaojie's defeat and capture, everything about the Zhennan Army was a mirror in the water and a dream. This also disrupted Fang She's deployment, making the retreat Fang She had originally prepared useless!
So seeing Xu Tu in front of him saying nothing and acting tight-lipped, Fang She also planned to use tricks on Xu Tu for the sake of his family's whereabouts!
Although this bitch Xu Tu is just a steward of the Xu Mansion, he claims to be a close confidant of the Marquis, and he has always had a higher regard than anything else in the Zhennan Army!
Fang She has long been disgusted with this person, but it depends on the owner when beating a dog, so she has been holding back!
At this moment, it was time to relieve his anger. Thinking of this, Fang Snake was not polite at all. He took out several silver needles from his body and stabbed several painful points on Xu Tu's body!
Many people only know that Fang She has excellent martial arts skills and is meticulous and sinister in his actions. However, few people know that Fang She was originally a medical student. It is precisely because he is a medical student that Fang She understands the structure of the human body and knows where to hit the most painful places. How to destroy a person’s belief······················
And it was precisely because of this skill that Fang She was initially attracted by Xu Zhaojie and specialized in providing Xu Zhaojie with torture services!
Now, although this move seems to be nothing, it is just stabbing someone with a silver needle, but in actual use, it is unbearable pain. At the beginning, Xu Tu could still hold on and continue to pretend to be a tough guy!
But in just a few seconds, he was sweating profusely and his veins were bulging. He wanted to shout out, but before he could make a sound, in order to prevent Xu Tu's shouting from attracting others, Fang She stuffed Xu Tu's clothes into his clothes. Into his mouth!
After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Tu couldn't hold on any longer, and his whole body became exhausted. His eyes looking at Fang Snake completely lost their original strength and turned into a look of pleading!
Seeing this, Fang Snake, who was anxious to find his family, was not in the mood to continue torturing Xu Tu. He immediately took the silver needle from Xu Tu's body and asked Xu Tu the original question again.
"Where is my family?"
Hearing this question, Xu Tu hesitated for a moment but still said honestly:
"I have no idea!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Snake's eyes suddenly turned cold. He felt that Xu Tu was dishonest and was playing a trick on him, so he immediately wanted to continue to use tricks on Xu Tu!
Seeing this, Xu Tu trembled all over, and immediately said without caring about anything else:
"I really don't know, this matter was arranged by Ma Xiang! He wants to use your family to coerce you into saving the Marquis... ·······”

Higashishima, Heiankyo
A carriage slowly drove out from the Muto family's mansion, protected by dozens of servants, and headed towards the shogunate.
At this time, a middle-aged man in the carriage who looked to be in his early forties was closing his eyes and concentrating. This man was handsome and graceful. He was none other than Muto Masaaki, one of the five elders of the shogunate who had just taken office!
Although he looks like he is only in his early forties, Muto Masaaki is actually fifty-one years old, and time has not left many traces on his body!
Although Muto Zhenaki in the carriage was closing his eyes to rest, he was still thinking in his heart!
Ever since the old Taiko Toyotomi Ieyasu became seriously ill a few years ago, he has basically been unable to handle government affairs. As a result, the shogunate's control over various parts of the East Island has also weakened!
And this also caused the daimyo lords in various places to start to get a little ready to take action, but after all, the old Tai Pavilion was still there, so they didn't dare to make too many mistakes!
Just two months ago, the old prince finally passed away and entrusted the young master Toyotomi Hidetada to Nobu Ishihara, Mitsunari Kobayakawa, and Masaaki Muto. I hope that the three of them can join forces to help Toyotomi Hidetada stabilize Toyotaka. The empire of the Chen family!
Nobu Ishihara, Mitsunari Kobayakawa, and Masaaki Muto knew very well that with the death of their old lord Toyotomi Ieyasu, some daimyo lords in various places who were ready to make moves might not be able to control their ambitions, and you might stop singing at any time. I appear...
So in order to deal with this situation, the three of them came up with a poisonous plan, which was to divert trouble to the east!
Continuing with Toyotomi Ieyasu's unfinished work of conquering the peninsula, when Toyotomi Ieyasu unified the East Island, his ambitions were extremely arrogant. He actually wanted to cross the sea to capture the palace capital, and then use the palace capital as a springboard to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty!
However, it is a pity that just in the palace capital, they were attacked head-on by the Zhou army, and all their ambitions were turned into ashes!
And with the lessons learned from the last time, Nobu Ishihara, Mitsunari Kobayakawa, and Masaaki Muto, who were worried about making the same mistake again, did not continue to choose Gongdu as their target. Instead, they chose the two small countries of Silla and Baekje on the peninsula!
Silla and Baekje are not as good as the palace capital in terms of population and national strength, and the most important thing is that they do not have the garrison of the Great Zhou on their territory, and they are not a vassal state of the Great Zhou, so compared to the palace capital, they are undoubtedly more powerful. A good target!
Now, although Nobu Ishihara, Mitsunari Kobayakawa, and Masaaki Muto have restarted this strategy, their core purpose is not like Toyotomi Ieyasu, who tried to capture the palace capital and then use the palace capital as a shift to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty... ···················
Of course, it’s not that they don’t want to do this. The East Island is an archipelago where volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur every year, causing heavy pain to the people on the East Island every year!
In order to get rid of these natural disasters, the people of the East Island are always thinking about changing their habitat!
And their goal is undoubtedly Dazhou, which is across the sea from Dongdao!
So if possible, the people on the East Island would naturally want to capture Dazhou and use the resources on the vast land of Dazhou for their own use!
For this reason, they are always paying attention to the internal situation of Dazhou. In the past few years, the internal situation of Dazhou was turbulent, and the people of the East Island saw it as an opportunity!
However, with the rise of Fengwu Army in recent years, it has gradually unified all parts of Dazhou. Even the optimistic officials in Dongdao have to admit that Dongdao has no chance to capture Dazhou!
In this context, Nobu Ishihara, Mitsunari Kobayakawa, and Masaaki Muto continued to promote the plan to conquer the peninsula. They wanted to transfer the internal conflicts of the East Island and use this external war to consume the strength of the daimyo lords in various places, so as to consolidate the shogunate's power. The rule of East Island!
Of course, despite having such a deep-seated purpose, in order to achieve this goal, the shogunate still pretended to be very similar on the surface, and even asked Muto Masaaki to coordinate and command the armies in various places and be fully responsible for this battle... ··························
And just when Muto Masaaki was in the carriage of the carriage, thinking about how to better advance the goal of the shogunate, suddenly there was a fierce explosion from both sides of the carriage!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Just when Muto Masaaki's entourage and servants were panicking due to the sudden explosion, suddenly more than ten killers dressed as down-and-out samurai came out from all sides of the road. They went straight to Muto Masaaki's carriage. !
Although these killers moved very quickly, the attendants around Muto Masaaki were also very central, and they immediately closely guarded Muto Masaaki's carriage!
Although these people are followers and servants in name, they are all ninja guards who have been carefully trained by the Muto family since childhood. They are very powerful in combat. However, facing these sudden killers at this time, they are still no match in a one-on-one situation. It often takes two versus one to suppress the opponent!
However, the targets of these killers are obviously not the servants such as Muto Masaaki, so they do not intend to have too much entanglement with these people. They just want to continue to get close to the carriage and kill Muto Masaaki... ···························
