Zhu Chongjiu went down the mountain to make a sneak attack on the county town this time, with only 300 troops. If the army of officers and soldiers pressed the border, he would have no choice but to grease his feet and escape, but it would be a pity for the treasures that have not yet been recovered.
The bandit who reported the news knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, it's not the officers and soldiers who came, but three of our brothers who were killed."
What a false alarm! ?
Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and gave the bandit a slap in the face. Can he speak properly?
"Did you just say that our people were killed?"
The bandit who reported the news covered his face and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
"Where are the people?" he asked sharply.
"At...outside the door, we have carried them back."
Zhu Chongjiu left the Yamen lobby and came outside the door. Three corpses were lying on the ground, their lips pale and obviously the blood had dried. He knelt down and inspected the deceased's wounds.
The wounds on their lower back, neck, and chest were all in different locations, but they were all killed with one stab. It can be seen that the killer is skilled in knife skills, and his attacks are ruthless, leaving no chance of survival.
"They were the first brothers sent out to find Dou Meiren."
The speaker was Zhu Shi, Zhu Chongjiu’s capable general.
He was tall, clad in tiger skin, with protruding brows and fierce eyes. There was a fine steel chain wrapped around his arm, which was his unique weapon, the Dulong Whip. The chain was stained with blood.
Zhu Chongjiu's eyebrows kept beating.
Before going down the mountain, Tan Ma found out that there were no officers and soldiers in Qinghe City, and the only ones with swords and guns in their hands were the dozen or so government officials.
But they were cut down in the first wave of attacks.
He couldn't think of anyone else in the city who could kill three of his brothers in one go! They had followed him all over the world since Yezhugou, and they had a life-long friendship with him. No matter who killed them, they must pay with blood!
But I saw him pull out his waist knife, the tip of the knife pointed to the sky, and his face was ferocious: "Find the murderer for me immediately, I will beat his tendons and skin him!"
Zhu Shi hurried away with a dozen bandits.
In an instant, the city was in a panic again, and the wails started again. Even the shops facing the street were almost ransacked again by them.
The basement of Luo Mansion.
Mr. Luo discussed "Journey to the West" with Kong Fang, Fang Shiyi and Dou Ying appreciated the melody of "The Moon Represents My Heart", and Mrs. Luo lowered her head to do needlework.
The atmosphere is harmonious and peaceful, which seems like a completely different world from the smoky and desolate streets.
"Hey, where's Shibo?"
Mrs. Luo suddenly screamed in panic. She was so dazzled that she originally wanted to ask him to help string needles and threads, but unexpectedly found that he was no longer in the basement.
Well……
The other four people started up and looked around the entire basement.
"Shibo...just now..." Dou Ying said while recalling.
"He seemed to be writing there just now. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Kong Fang came to the table next to the wall.
There is nothing else on the table except pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Kong Fang bent down to pick up a paper ball thrown in the corner, spread it out, and the poem "Guan Ju" came into view, but it had several typos and omissions.
Apparently it was Fang Shibo's first time writing silently, and he made a mistake because he didn't remember it well.
He immediately understood where Fang Shibo had gone. I couldn't help but sigh to myself that this little pervert didn't even want to die for a woman.
"Brother-in-law, will Shibo return to the Fang family compound?" Fang Shiyi was worried.
Kong Fang shook his head, "He didn't go back to the Fang family compound, he went to the Fan family!"
Fan family? !
Fang Shiyi was confused. She couldn't think of any Fan family in the county that was worthy of Fang Shibo's risk. Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo were also confused.
For the sake of Fang Shibo's Qilin Arm, it is inconvenient for Kong Fang to reveal his personal privacy.
He could only volunteer to go out to find someone, but Fang Shiyi disagreed. Bandits are rampant on the streets, and my brother-in-law is powerless. If he falls into their hands, his life or death will be uncertain.
Kong Fang also felt horrified when he thought of those ferocious guys.
But there are things a real man can do and things he should not do. The cheap brother-in-law is missing, he can't just sit back and watch!
"Shiyi, don't worry, I will be careful."
He comforted his cheap sister-in-law.
"Besides, I am the only one who knows where he has gone. It is the easiest and fastest way to find him!"
Fang Shiyi nodded and shook his head, and the final result of the discussion was that they both went together, one responsible for leading the way and the other responsible for safety. It was originally a happy event for everyone, but Kong Fang's face felt as hot as if it had been burned by a fire.
He is not a male chauvinist, not even in his previous life.
But he needed a woman to protect his safety, and after all, he couldn't stand it.
The teacher's mother took it upon herself to modify them, and a handsome young boy with a white face and a fairy-like beauty were transformed into a down-and-out brother in distress.
They left Luo Mansion quietly.
Kong Fang took Fang Shiyi to Fan's butcher shop based on his memory. After Zhu Shi's second looting, except for a few wild dogs wandering around on the street, there was no other living thing.
Every shop on the street, including Fang's pharmacy, was all looted. The doors and windows were smashed. The interior was messy and even stained with blood. It was too horrible to look at.
Fang Shiyi took Kong Fang and walked into Fang's pharmacy. The smell of blood hit his nostrils, and Kong almost vomited, so he quickly covered his mouth. Fang Shiyi's expression changed drastically and she quickly walked behind the counter.
"Wen Langzhong!"
She covered her mouth and exclaimed, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and her body trembled slightly.
Kong Fang followed, but saw Wen Langzhong guarding the looted money cabinet with his eyes open. The blood that flowed had been dried, and there were patches on the cabinet and on the ground, which was shocking.
Wen Langzhong was also the shopkeeper of this medicine shop. Kong Fang did not expect that he would be so loyal to protect his master. Unfortunately, in front of the extremely vicious bandits, his resistance was feeble and he ultimately paid the price with his life for his loyalty.
Fang Shiyi's hands trembled and she closed her eyes for Wen Langzhong.
"Walk!"
She pulled up Kong Fang.
Kong Fang sensed the murderous aura in her body and quickly grabbed her, "Shiyi, don't be impulsive. They are outnumbered and we can't take revenge for the time being."
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Let's take a long-term plan, okay?"
Two lines of tears overflowed from his eyes, and Fang Shiyi gently wiped away the tears.
"Brother-in-law, I know."
Kong Fang said no more, feeling a trace of regret in his heart. He originally thought that Fang Shiyi would throw herself into his arms and cry bitterly, but it turned out that she was stronger than he thought.
They walked to the street again and were more cautious. On the way, they encountered a group of bandits. Fang Shiyi quickly pulled Kong Fang to avoid them. As soon as they hid, they heard a girl crying.
Kong Fang poked his head out and saw the bandit who was walking at the end holding a little girl around his waist. It was her who made the cry.
"Shiyi..."
Although Kong Fang knew that it was important to save his life, how could he watch a little girl fall into the clutches of bandits? So he instinctively called his brother-in-law, and if she agreed, they would work together to save people.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind blew behind him. Fang Shiyi jumped up like a thunderous giant and rushed toward the bandit. However, she saw a ray of cold light suddenly appear in her hand and streaked across the bandit's neck.
"hiss……"
