Chapter 65: Pier Assassination

Xiao Yu retreated with the people, and a well-planned ambush disappeared.

Fang Zhen looked at their backs with his sleeves, and when their backs disappeared, Fang Zhen suddenly shook and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Helper!" Xiao Lan hurriedly supported him, took out a pill from his arms and fed it to him, and then hurriedly checked him.

Fang Zhen waved his hand, signaling them not to move, and sat down on the spot, pranayama cross-legged.

After a while, Fang Zhen slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Yu, hehe, Xiao Yu. Fang Zhen muttered, Xiao Lan was a little confused: "Helper, why is this?"

Fang Zhen shook his head slightly: "Xiao Yu will never be easier than me. Then he sighed: "We have been in the Cao Gang for decades, and it is good to harvest it temporarily, Jiangnan is our foundation, go back to Jiangnan first." ”

Xiao Lan was puzzled, but he looked around and didn't ask deeply. Fang Zhen stood up and looked at the slightly chubby gentry of Huaiyanghui who came over: "Zhao Daxia, thank you very much this time." ”

After speaking, he looked at the corpse of the thin gentry, his expression was slightly sad, and this sadness returned to normal in a flash: "Send Feng Daxia back, we will help you take care of it." ”

Zhao Shishen said lightly: "People in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable to die under the sword, don't bother too much, just find a place to burn, and I'll take the ashes back." ”

"That's not right," Xiao Lan said, "his family." ”

"He didn't get married, and there was no one at home for a long time. Zhao Shishen's expression was indifferent: "Gang Master Fang, if this is the case, I will go back and report to the leader, but I don't understand." ”

Fang Zhen sighed softly: "Back then, Jiangnan would challenge my Cao Gang, but in fact, behind it were the Gu family and the Sun family in Jiangnan, as well as the Marquis of Leping's mansion, I had to go to the imperial court to carry out activities, and begged to go to the King of Qi's door, I didn't want to offend today, this time, it was fierce, alas, Jie'er didn't know what to do, and asked King Qi for help in Jizhou."

Alas, I also only learned about this, Brother Zhao, go back and tell Lord Qi that this time it is the meaning of the palace, Xiao Yu, hehe, he is just someone else's pawn, and he is helpless. ”

Fang Zhen's expression was sad, and everyone was shocked.

"So, if Xiao Yu wants to be north of Pengcheng, I have to agree, because this is the meaning of the palace, the king of Qi is in Qidi, from Qidi to the imperial capital, the waterway only takes half a month, can you not doubt it today?"

The people present are all old rivers and lakes, Xiao Lan is from a family, of course, he knows the stakes in this more clearly, he can't help but sigh, the Cao Gang has suffered huge losses, but Peng Cheng, that means that even the imperial capital has to give up, in order to enter the imperial capital, the Cao Gang has fought several bloody battles, and now it ,.。 It's all empty!

"Gang Master Fang, since this is the case, then why is it still ... Zhao Shigentry of the Huaiyang Society asked a little unwillingly, the Huaiyang Society made a living by smuggling smuggled salt, and needed the fleet of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang withdrew from Pengcheng, which meant that the Huaiyang Society also had to give up the north of Pengcheng.

Fang Zhen sighed softly: "If you don't fight this one, I'm afraid Xiao Yu's requirements will not only be Pengcheng." ”

Xiao Lan and the gentry of Zhao all understood that the result of this battle was not important, and they decided to retreat before the battle, and the purpose of this battle was only to curb Xiao Yu's ambitions.

"Fang Zhen is worthy of being a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes!" Xiao Yu finished breathing, opened his eyes and praised Liu Tie and Peng Song at the first sentence. Just as Fang Zhen judged, Xiao Yu's injury was also not light, and after leaving Fang Zhen's sight, he collapsed, Liu Han fed him two pills of his Life Continuation Pill, and then stayed by his side.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu's first sentence when he woke up was Fang Zhen, and he seemed to have a lot of emotion.

Liu Tie was puzzled, but for a long time by Liu Han's side, he developed the habit of being cautious in his words and deeds, and rarely took the initiative to ask.

"What does this mean by Lord Xiao?" Peng Song asked in confusion, among the people present, only his seniority cultivation was the lowest, and he was only able to get close to Xiao Yu because of the Changfeng Dart Bureau.

"When you give up, you give up, when you give up, north of Pengcheng, tsk, change me, I'm afraid I can't do it. Xiao Yu made no secret of his admiration, and as soon as Fang Zhen agreed to his request, he immediately understood that Fang Zhen was completely aware of the origin of the matter, and then understood Fang Zhen's intentions, so he offered this price, north of Pengcheng, and he should be satisfied if he wanted to come to the palace.

In fact, even if Fang Zhen was willing to hand over Cao Yun, he and Luoma Shuizhai would not be able to eat, but Fang Zhen's willingness to hand over the imperial capital also surprised him very much.

The imperial capital is prosperous, and the income exceeds that of other places several times, which is a mouth-watering source of wealth.

Xiao Yu asked the others to retreat, leaving Liu Tie alone.

"Brother Liu should already know the situation," Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I don't need to fight anymore now, do you stay or go back?"

Liu Tie was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Stay for the time being, I'm worried that things will be repeated, whether the palace recognizes this result, I don't know? ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly: "I am eighty percent sure that the palace can accept this result,., you see, I am all injured, and I have done my best, if the palace wants to continue fighting, I have to go out by myself, but now the attention of the internal guards is all on Chen Guo, and we can't take care of it for the time being." ”

Liu Tie shook his head very resolutely: "The Lord said, let me follow you and protect you, I have to stay by your side until the matter is over." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile and scolded: "You are too wooden, boring, far less interesting than your master." ”

"I'm a subordinate, and I shouldn't be funny. Liu Tie replied expressionlessly, turned around and left, walked two steps and turned around and said, "By the way, my master's share, you and my master say to go." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head at his back and secretly praised: "This Liu Han's subordinates are really good, I don't know where he went to find them, his cultivation is not low, and he is still very loyal." ”

On the dock, Fang Zhen looked around, sighed, and asked the proprietress of the small shed to give fifty taels of silver, and to the old man of the small stall twenty taels of silver, and then beckoned to Liu Han and Tu Jia and called the two over.

"Two friends of the Kuaidaotang, you have worked hard this time. Fang Zhen was very polite, Tui Jia and Liu Han hurriedly politely excused themselves, Tui Jia originally had a fire in his belly, but after watching the fight just now, he was too timid to speak now.

Fang Zhen seemed to know their feelings very well, and said a few words half-comfortingly and half-explained, telling them that the Cao Gang had already prepared a place for them to settle in Ze County, and took a few pills for them to give to Cai Yong.

The ferry was still at the pier, and the boatmen were hiding in the cabin in panic, Peng Song called the boatmen out and asked the boatmen to check the ferry, and they got on the boat immediately if there was no damage.

Fang Zhen stood on the pier, watching the dart masters push the dart cart onto the ferry, looking at the picturesque scenery on both sides of the strait, and couldn't help but sigh.

A small sound sounded, Fang Zhen turned his head in slight surprise, dozens of black shadows flashed, Fang Zhen was shocked, his strength immediately filled his body, his body posture remained unchanged, but he had already fallen backwards.

The black shadow was as fast as lightning, and it arrived in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Lan, who was standing side by side with Fang Zhen, also reacted at this time, his robe sleeves flicked outward, and his body leaned out.

It's a pity that everything is late, and the black shadow arrives quickly, and a muffled snort sounds.

"Bold!"

The Taoist priest shouted, but he didn't have time to react more, so he flew up and rushed towards the old man who was setting up the stall.

The old man who set up the stall ignored him, jumped up, like a big bird, crossed the air, lightly touched the reeds in the middle, jumped out a few feet, and after a few strokes, disappeared into the reeds.

The Taoist priest couldn't catch up, and he didn't chase it, but fell beside Fang Zhen Xiao Lan, and Zhao Shishen and the left-handed sword of the Huaiyang Society saw the mutation on this side and immediately rushed to this side.

After Fang Zhen and Xiao Lan landed, they immediately sat down cross-legged, each hurriedly took out the pill, and threw a few pills into their mouths.

"Don't touch them!" The Taoist priest saw that the sword in his left hand and the gentry surnamed Zhao were about to stretch out his hand, and hurriedly shouted to stop them, and in just a few breaths, Fang Zhen and Xiao Lan's faces were darkly gray.

"What a powerful poison!" the Taoist priest sighed, took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms with a quick movement, poured out two grains, and sent them to the mouths of the two of them one after another, and whispered to them that this was the secret antidote of Xiaohanshan, which could cure all kinds of poisons in the world, and the two of them swallowed it separately.

The Taoist priest looked up to the left and right, and ordered the Cao Gang people who came to be on guard around, while he stayed by Fang Zhen's side, and asked the gentry surnamed Zhao to stay by Xiao Lan's side, repeatedly telling them not to touch.

The commotion on the dock alarmed the boatmen on the boat, and the boatmen did not dare to wait any longer, and the boat boss hurriedly ordered to untie the cable and start the boat, but before the boatman could go down to untie the cable, a Cao gang disciple came over and ordered them not to move, and the boat boss was so frightened that he agreed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Mei helped Yu Mei set Cai Dong up, heard the shouts of the dock, hurried over, and when she came, the old man had disappeared into the reeds.

"Fang Gang Leader was assassinated. Liu Han briefly explained what happened just now, and Zhang Mei was shocked when she heard that it was the old man who set up the stall.

Liu Han secretly praised in his heart, this killer is a veteran, the killer's cultivation is not high, but he can seize the opportunity, the killer often only has one chance to make a move, and he makes a rash move, not only putting himself in a desperate situation, but also startling the snake, and the difficulty of assassinating again is more than ten times that of the first time.

This old man who set up a stall obviously has a very good psychological quality, just now Fang Zhen and Xiao Yu fought fiercely, he didn't make a move, Xiao Yu retreated, when Fang Zhen was injured, he didn't dare to move, he still didn't make a move, and even the internal breath was very well concealed, but in the end, he waited until Fang Zhen was completely relaxed, there was a trace of relaxation, he made a move, and left with one blow, without the slightest drag.

High, definitely a master!

You must know that when Fang Zhen and Xiao Yu were fighting, they were engrossed, and every move around them was under their control, so at that time, it seemed that the timing was good, but in fact, there was no chance. When Fang Zhen was treating his injuries, Xiao Lan was guarding him, so it was not an opportunity at that time.

But everything has passed, the dart board began to board the boat, Fang Zhen was in a relaxed mood, and his vigilance showed a hint of laxity, at this time, the old man launched it, and he hit it with one blow.

"Who did it?Fengyulou or Luoma Water Village?" asked in a low voice, Liu Han shook his head, it is not easy to determine the identity of the old man now, with his understanding of Xiao Yu, since he has reached an agreement with Fang Zhen, he will not make another move.

But Liu Han immediately thought of another serious question, with Fang Zhen being assassinated, would the agreement just reached still be valid?

Will this war continue?
