The sword, very sharp, passed through his body, but there was no blood on the body of the sword, only a drop of blood on the tip of the sword, and the blood, condensed into drops, hung on the tip of the sword.

Fang Zhen slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Lan, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

Xiao Lan sighed softly: "I'm sorry, Brother Fang, I had to obey the family master's order." ”

"Family Master?Ling Zun?" Fang Zhen was still very confused, he had been friends with Xiao Lan for decades, and when he had not yet taken over as the leader of the Cao Gang, the two of them were friends, he trusted Xiao Lan very much, and Xiao Lan believed in him very much, otherwise he would not have joined the Cao Gang and became the guest of the Cao Gang.

"The Xiao family and the Wang family are inseparable from each other, the relationship between our two families has been for hundreds of years, and the actual relationship is deep, outsiders don't know, even I don't know, but the family is clear. Xiao Lan's expression was very sincere and told him the truth, but his hand still held the hilt of the sword steadily.

Fang Zhen understood, but then asked without giving up, "Could it be that Jie'er is also involved?"

Xiao Lan shook his head: "Although the young gang leader felt that you were old and not as ambitious as back then, he did not participate. ”

Fang Zhen's expression suddenly relaxed, but then he asked again, "Does he know?"

Xiao Lan shook his head again, but Fang Zhen's expression became solemn: "What are you going to do to Jie'er?"

"No, the young gang leader will take over as the gang leader," Xiao Lan's expression was very sincere: "The family master and the Wang family have agreed." ”

"That's good, how many people in the gang are involved in this? Jiang Nan will cooperate with you to make so many things. Fang Zhen asked again.

Xiao Lan shook his head again: "There is no one else in the gang who participates except me, and I don't dare to let them participate, Jiangnan will be Xu Zimo with the support of the Gu family, who wants to expand to Jiankang, we just took advantage of this." ”

Jiangnan will be the head of Fang Wei Zimo, the Fang family is not a scholar, but Wu County is strong, the family is rich, there are more than ten sea boats, perennial running on the sea, and overseas goods, the largest three Qinglou in Wu County are Fang's industry, in addition, there are several salt farms, the family is very rich.

Jiangnan will not be like the Cao Gang, it is composed of the powerful and powerful of the rivers and lakes, but more like a business group, the meeting is full of powerful and powerful people from all over Wu County, once something happens in the Jiangnan Society, the families and gate valves from all over Wu County will send people to help, so Jiangnan will seem to be weak and strong, which makes Fang Zhen very headache.

"Brother Fang, we have been friends for twenty-eight years, so I will tell you all your problems one by one, and you are still satisfied. Xiao Lan's expression flashed with a trace of guilt and helplessness.

Fang Zhen smiled miserably, and finally couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, he connected a few big points on his chest to stop the bleeding, took out a few pills and took them, and then looked at Xiao Lan and Wang Ze.

"I know that many people in the gang want to go north, but the problem is, we can't go north, the palace doesn't agree, Xiao Yu and Liu Han's cultivation is very high, Liu Han is a top-grade grandmaster, Brother Wang should be clear, if Liu Han still has a way to deal with it, what about the palace? ”

"There is also salt, Jie'er really wants to do salt, but the salt thing is the Lu family's Yu family and the king of Huainan, they are in control, we rashly intervene, will it cause their suspicion and worry, alas, Brother Xiao, today's matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape, but Brother Xiao, remember my words, don't go north, don't go north." ”

Wang Ze sneered: "Gang Master Fang, you definitely won't be able to escape today, you can't even get out of this small pavilion." ”

Several Fang Zhen guards outside the pavilion were shocked when they saw the changes in the pavilion, and they rushed to the pavilion one after another, but when they arrived at the small pavilion, no matter how they rushed, they were all knocked back, and the small pavilion seemed to be covered by a piece of steel.

"Hidden Immortal Sect, you are a person from the Hidden Immortal Sect!" Fang Zhen was shocked, angry, fearful, unbelieving, and all kinds of emotions intertwined.

Wang Ze smiled faintly, threw out the paper in his hand, the paper turned into a white light in the air, quickly flew out of the pavilion, and circled outside the pavilion, Fang Zhen's guards around the small pavilion fell to the ground one after another, no one could block the white light, and they were all swept away.

Fang Zhen burst out, fell backwards suddenly, and hit Xiao Lan's chest hard, Xiao Lan didn't expect Fang Zhen to be so resolute, his chest was like a lightning strike, his blood surged over, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Fang Zhen's back.

Fang Zhen also spewed blood, but his body rushed forward with the help of the countershock, the sword light flickered, and it rolled towards Wang Ze like a match.

Wang Ze's expression was unmoving, his eyes showed a strange light, looking at the sword light that rolled in, the sword light was desperate, with an indomitable determination.

Fang Zhen poured all the strength of his body into the knife, the entire dantian was empty, the suppressed injuries broke out in an all-round way, Fang Zhen's face was hideous, and his eyes were bloody.

Suddenly a folding fan unfolded appeared in mid-air, the folding fan was small and weak, like a small grass, which could be broken at any time, and it stood alone in front of the fierce sword wind.

But the fierce blade stopped in front of the folding fan, and the knife wind was superimposed layer by layer, violently impacting the folding fan, but the weak folding fan blocked the knife wind.

Wang Ze looked at Fang Zhen, his eyes were full of regret, and there was a bit of ridicule in it.

Fang Zhen's face was distorted, he bit the tip of his tongue violently, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and the last trace of internal breath was squeezed out of the dantian.

The knife, suddenly cracked, breaking inch by inch.

Fang Zhen was unmoved, still staring at Wang Ze, the blade shook slightly, and changed to a stab, as if he didn't see that the blade was breaking.

The blade of the knife was completely cracked, Fang Zhen's gaze was still the same, and the knife was still indomitable.

The blade of the knife is left with the hilt, the handle is cracked, and the handle is broken.

One finger against the hilt of the knife, or the fist is more accurate, and in this short distance, the knife has been completely shattered, and only the point in the palm of the hand remains.

Wang Ze looked at Fang Zhen, sighed softly, his consciousness moved, and the white light flew back from outside the pavilion, wrapping around Fang Zhen's neck.

.............

"You're okay. Wang Ze quickly calmed down some tumbling internal breath, looked at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan's face was pale, and he nodded vigorously.

There were the bodies of Fang Zhen and the old man of tea lying on the ground, after Wang Ze killed Fang Zhen, he easily killed the old man of tea again, and now inside and outside the pavilion, there are only the two of them left.

Wang Ze looked at Xiao Lan, took out five spirit stones from all around the pavilion, and then said, "Can you still go?"

Xiao Lan nodded reluctantly, he had already taken medicine, and he knew that if he couldn't leave, Wang Ze would kill him without hesitation.

He didn't know what the few pieces that Wang Ze took out that looked like stones were, but this was the thing of the Hidden Immortal Gate, and the array laid down by these few things could actually block Fang Zhen's death-defying blow, this Hidden Immortal Gate..... , the rumors are true.

"Let's go!"

After Wang Ze cleaned up, he turned around and left, Xiao Lan barely walked a few steps, and there was a huge pain in his chest and abdomen, he didn't dare to hum it, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, not daring to make a sound.

The two quickly left the kiosk and headed southeast, disappearing into the green trees.

Fang Zhen was killed, and it shook the whole Yangzhou in a few days, Fang Jie and the elders of the gang quickly rushed to Jiankang, and the Cao Gang went out to find all the clues.

All the corpses in the small pavilion were transported to the Cao Gang Jiankang rudder, and each corpse was carefully examined, and the corpses of the guards outside the pavilion were not examined, all of them were sword heads.

Only Fang Zhen had a few wounds on his body, and with Fang Zhen, except for Xiao Lan, everyone else died.

Fang Jie ordered to find Xiao Lan, and he had to dig three feet into the ground to find Xiao Lan.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Jiangnan Society and the Huaiyang Society from taking the opportunity to attack, Fang Jie ordered the main force of the Cao Gang to be deployed in Jiankang and its vicinity, and he returned to Yangzhou with Fang Zhen's body.

After returning to Yangzhou, Fang Jie issued a long river order to track down Fuyi and track down the real culprit.

The Cao Gang held a grand funeral for Fang Zhen, Fang Jie took his place in front of the mourning hall, and under the joint push of the Cao Gang, he ascended to the position of the leader of the Cao Gang.

All this, Liu Han didn't know, he was concentrating on cultivation in the cave, and Yu Zhenzi was transforming the cave and preparing to repair one more exit, so as not to walk on the water every time he entered and exited, which didn't matter to Yu Zhenzi Chunyangzi, but it was very troublesome for those disciples with lower cultivation.

On the grounds of planting mulberry trees, Liu Huo proposed to the government to buy the ghost sorrow, and the ghost saw sorrow This piece of land originally belonged to Zizhu Courtyard, but I don't know when, Zizhu Courtyard sold this land to the government because of a fire a few decades ago, and the government has long wanted to sell it, but no one bought it, because the land on this ghost is thin on the mountain.

The Yangzhou government is making every effort to raise the two million taels of silver, and Liu Huo wants to buy the ghost and see the sorrow, which is in line with the government's intentions, and the government offers a high price, and finally Liu Huo buys the whole mountain at a price of 200,000 taels of silver.

After a month of hard training, Liu Han finally stepped into the seventh-layer realm, and after the realm was consolidated, he proposed to Yu Zhenzi to go out, and there were still many things waiting for him in the city.

Coming down from the mountain, he saw some traces of construction, and when he arrived at the predetermined courtyard, Liu Huo was not there, and he waited until the evening Liu Huo to return.

Liu Huo reported to him about the purchase of land and construction, and he was a little angry: "These bastards, this mountain is worth 200,000 taels of silver, at most 160,000. ”

"Well, they're counting on the money to fill the hole. Liu Han said calmly: "Don't build on the top of the mountain, the dock fort is built halfway up the mountain, by the way, build a small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, don't be too big, the rest of the place, well, in two days, I'll give you a drawing, you just follow the drawings for construction." ”

Liu Huo agreed, and then reported to him what had happened in Yangzhou during the month, and Liu Han couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Fang Zhen had died.

"Who? Who did it?"

Liu Huo shook his head: "I don't know, Fang Jie issued a long river order and is looking for Xiao Lan around." ”

"Did you find it?" Liu Han was very puzzled in his heart, he suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be the old boss who made the move? In his opinion, Fang Zhen has the strength of a middle-grade grandmaster, and Xiao Lan has the strength of a low-grade grandmaster, if he wants to kill these two people in one fell swoop, unless a great grandmaster like the boss makes a move, otherwise don't think at all, Fang Zhen can at least escape.

Liu Huo shook his head, and Liu Han asked again, "Is Fang Zhen buried?"

"Not yet, the seven-seven-forty-nine days dojo, there are still a few days left. Liu Huo said: "Now the atmosphere in Yangzhou is very tense, and the Cao Gang is preparing for war. ”

"Master," Liu Huo suddenly frowned, "Will they doubt you?"

"Doubt me?" Liu Han was slightly stunned, then understood, shook his head and said, "No, if I want to make a move, I can't kill Fang Zhen and Xiao Lan." ”

Liu Huo frowned and said, "However, there are unidentified people squatting outside our trading company, and in the past few days, someone has come to the mountain to investigate. ”

"What about those guys, are there any outsiders mixed in?" Liu Han asked, Liu Huo shook his head: "I invited the famous Lin Yuan Zhao in Yangzhou City, they are famous craftsmen in Yangzhou. ”

Liu Han nodded: "We are now the enemy and I am clear, they know my identity very well, you are more dangerous here, so, you must be careful, the craftsman must be strictly monitored, the core part, I would rather do it yourself than use people who don't trust." The hundred workshops have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and they are good at KitKat, and the more famous the craftsmen in Yangzhou, the more suspicious they may be. ”

"The little one understands. Liu Huo understood.

Liu Han asked the emperor again if there was any news, Liu Huo handed him the secret letters sent by Lao Huang, these secret letters, Liu Huo couldn't understand them at all, and Liu Han spent half an hour translating these secret letters.

In the secret letter, Lao Huang reported to him what happened in the imperial capital, the attack of Tubo was not as predicted before, but the main force in the country was storming the Liangzhou Pass, and now all the passes in Liangzhou were fighting fiercely, and the imperial court urgently dispatched the Yongzhou border army to the west, so that the King of Qin could return to Chang'an and transport grain and grass for Liangzhou.

What's worse is that although the imperial court solved the Baishan Xiongnu, the war on the desert did not subside, the Xianbei people went into battle in person, most of the tribes in the central Xianbei and the southern Xianbei were involved in the war, and the Tuoba tribes in the western Xianbei instead pulled ashore and watched the two sides fight.

Faced with this situation, the imperial court had a headache, and the emperor ordered to hold a defensive position in Liangzhou, and ordered the king of Taiyuan to lead 50,000 troops to fight in the fortress, unite the Tuoba tribe, and forcibly mediate the contradiction between the two Xianbei.

"This policy of the imperial court is wrong, when supporting the southern Xianbei, deterring the western Xianbei, and defeating the central Xianbei... , Xianbei in the south is the barrier of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the imperial court's move is not serious, I don't know the reason...

In addition, this desert turmoil was a little confusing, and the imperial court should find out the inside story and use troops carefully. ”

Lao Huang's bookish spirit is still there, he still likes to comment on current affairs, and there is still a sour smell in the secret letter, Liu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
