On November 22, the weather was gloomy, with no wind or rain.

This was the second day of the rebel army's attack, Gu Xiuxiu did not listen to her father's instructions, and went out early in the morning, wanting to go to the streets to see if she could catch some spies hiding in the city for her father.

All the way from the government to Taiping Street in the north of the city, she did see a few sneaky people, and when she ordered her men to arrest them and ask them, she found that they were just foreign vendors, trapped in the city, and wanted to come out to see when they could get out of the city.

For the sake of insurance, Gu Xiuxiu still asked someone to temporarily send these vendors to the government office for supervision, and then let them out after the war subsided.

However, when she walked through Taiping Street and passed by Wuxian Building, she saw a person who surprised her.

At that time, the door of Wuxian Building was open, and everyone in the building was eating breakfast, when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Zhu Gui!" Then I saw Gu Xiuxiu walking in with six guards.

The Ming Xia people were stunned for a long time for unknown reasons, but they saw Xu Ziling and responded with a smile: "Miss Gu." ”

"Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui, you are so bold, you dare to stay in the city," Gu Xiuxiu sat opposite Xu Ziling, looked at Ming Xia and said, "She is your fiancée." ”

While Gu Xiuxiu was speaking, the guards walked up and surrounded the two.

Ming Xia was puzzled, but saw Fang Baihua stand up from her seat, stared at Gu Xiuxiu, and said lightly: "Miss Gu, are you too confident that you can arrest people in my building with just a few guards like you?" ”

Gu Xiuxiu's martial arts skills are not high, but her eyesight is extraordinary. Before entering the building, she looked at it and examined it, and was sure that only Fang Baihua and Xu Ziling were threatened in the field, and the rest of Ming Xia, Gu Yue'er, the old man Zhou Wei, the shopkeeper, and Xiao Er, she didn't feel the existence of internal breath, which meant that they were all ordinary people.

So after listening to Fang Baihua's words, Gu Xiuxiu smiled disdainfully at her and said softly: "You seem to be a little more powerful, but it's still not enough." With a wave of his hand, the guards divided into two teams, two of them walked towards Xu Ziling, three of them walked towards Fang Baihua, and one person remained by her side in case of accidents.

After only hearing a few clanging sounds, the guards who walked towards Fang Baihua suspected that the tables and chairs in the hall were in the way, and directly knocked them down with their fists and sword qi.

Fang Baihua's face turned cold, he directly pulled out the sword that was placed on the table, took the initiative to attack the three of them, and when he was close, he swept out, bringing out a water-blue sword light.

These three guards were knives, swords, and fists, facing Fang Baihua's sword, the two swords took the lead in meeting it, and the moment the swords collided, the person who made the fist dodged behind Fang Baihua, and condensed his fist and blasted towards her back.

But seeing Fang Baihua move half a step sideways, his left hand gathered qi and turned into a light blue lotus flower the size of a wheel in front of him, blocking the sword slashed in front of him, and at the same time, his right hand turned, holding the hilt of the sword and turning it backwards, and when the fist of the person behind him was close to his back, the tip of the sword pierced his wrist.

A bone-chilling sword aura spread out from Fang Baihua's sword, instantly sweeping through the entire arm of the guard, causing his right arm to lose consciousness.

When he used the strength of his body to get rid of the sword that pierced his right hand, but saw the sword turn around and sweep towards his neck, he hurriedly retreated, but still felt a cold throat, and hurriedly covered the injured place with his other hand, and his true qi worked with all his strength, barely stopping the bleeding. At the same time, there is no time to attack Fang Baihua.

Seeing Fang Baihua's smooth movements, not only Gu Xiuxiu, but even the old man Zhou Qi was surprised. The more powerful the master's move, it is often the difference between life and death in this move and a half. Between life and death, it is also the best test of the comprehensive quality of a martial artist.

After a few breaths, the two guards of the sword broke through the lotus flower that stood in front of them, and slashed at Fang Baihua with all their anger and strength.

Fang Baihua returned to the sword to block, but the real air was too late, and he was repelled by the two of them a few steps. The skills of these two guards are obviously higher than the previous ones, and they are both one step away from the realm. But this step is like a moat.

Standing firm, and when facing the two of them again, Fang Baihua's momentum had skyrocketed, and under the raging sword qi, the two could only reluctantly accept the move, and it was difficult to find a chance to fight back.

On the other side, Xu Ziling saw two guards coming with their swords drawn, and hurriedly pulled Ming Xia behind him, shouted "Master", and then took Chixiao and walked towards the two.

Fighting alone, Xu Ziling is confident that he can win steadily, but he is a little stretched with one enemy and two enemies. The swordsmanship he learned was only proficient in the Juque Four Styles, but the Juque Four Styles were known for their strength, and they couldn't reach Fang Baihua's delicate and delicate usage.

Ming Xia was afraid that it would affect Xu Ziling, so she turned around and walked towards the table where Zhou Wei and Yue'er were.

Gu Xiuxiu noticed her and said to the guards beside her, "Go, arrest her!" ”

The guard hesitated: "But ......"

Gu Xiuxiu said coldly: "Hurry up!" ”

The guard had no choice but to nod and run towards Ming Xia at great speed, just as he was about to get close to her, a figure flashed in front of him, and before he could react, the man's feet had already reached him.

Gu Xiuxiu only heard a "bang", and the guard was kicked back and landed right at her feet.

Looking at the old man who made a move, Gu Xiuxiu's face was full of shock, the old man's breath had reached the realm of returning to the basics, if she hadn't seen him make a move, she would definitely not believe that this unsightly old man was actually a martial artist.

Feeling that things had exceeded expectations, Gu Xiuxiu hurriedly shouted to the guards: "All withdraw!" ”

The two people who fought with Xu Ziling were okay, they retreated easily, but the two who fought against Fang Baihua were not so easy, if any of them retreated one after another, the other person would bear Fang Baihua's full sword, and if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Just when everyone felt that the atmosphere was delicate, the old man Zhou Qi was a little impatient, jumped to Gu Xiuxiu's side in one step, put his palm on her head, and said in a deep voice: "Stop, whoever dares to move, the old man slapped her to death with one palm." ”

The guards threw a mouse trap on the spot, and did not dare to move again, so Xu Ziling and Fang Baihua cooperated with the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper to tie them up. Only the guard lying on the ground struggled to pull the old man's leg, and was kicked into the corner by the old man.

Gu Xiuxiu, who was controlled, panicked in her heart, but on the surface, she looked calm, and asked the old man in a low voice: "The martial arts of the predecessors are like the realm of refinement, I don't think I am a Manichaean person, right?" ”

"Don't bother the girl, just stay quiet," the old man smiled, "Although the old man is not a true Manichaean, the old man's disciple is doing things for Manichaeism." ”

"Humph! When my father defeats the rebels outside and finds that I am gone, he will definitely bring someone over to level these five idle buildings. ”

Fang Baihua looked at her, and a shallow smile appeared on her always cold face: "We'll wait and see!" I hope you don't ask me then. ”

In order to prevent being discovered by the government in advance, Fang Baihua asked someone to lock Gu Xiuxiu and the guards in the secret room.

was interrupted by Gu Xiuxiu and others, everyone lost their appetite, and the shopkeeper and the juniors began to clean up the messy hall.

Fang Baihua walked to the old man's side, bent down slightly and thanked him, the old man shook his head casually, looking indifferent.

Xu Ziling pulled Ming Xia to a corner and sat down, and slowly told her about the experience of more than a month. The maid Yue'er followed and eavesdropped for a while, and felt bored, so she ran to Zhou Kui and asked him to tell her his story.

There was another period of harmony in the building. It wasn't until after noon that the sound of fighting spread to Wuxian Building.

When the city was broken, most of the people were still in the house, until they heard the shouts in the city, the people knew that the rebels had entered the city, in fact, as early as an hour ago, when the front line was tight, the patrolling officers and soldiers had disappeared into the streets and alleys, and were urgently transferred to the city wall.

The voices in the city became more and more chaotic, and the people, fearing that they might harm themselves, closed their doors and cowered into their homes. Yue'er in the Wuxian Building shouted excitedly at Zhou Wei: "Master, take me out to see when the city is broken, don't be foolish!" ”

Zhou Wei didn't speak, but walked directly out the door. Yue'er was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

After a long time, Fang Baihua also walked out with a sword, and as soon as he walked to the door, he ran into Yue'er who ran back with a pale face.

Xu Ziling saw her appearance and smiled: "What's wrong?" See something good? ”

"It's too disgusting," Yue'er covered her mouth, wanting to vomit but couldn't, "How can they kill people like that, it's disgusting and scary." ”

Xu Ziling, who was bloody and cruel after the Manichaean captured the officials, knew it, and Yue'er's reaction was natural. Fortunately, Ming Xia was not interested in the battle array, otherwise he went out to see the miserable situation of the officials, and it was estimated that it would not be much worse than Yue'er's current appearance.

"Yue'er, where is the master?" Xu Ziling didn't see Zhou Wei coming back, so he asked casually.

"Isn't the master behind," Yue'er turned to look and wondered, "You were still following me just now, why didn't you disappear?" ”

Xu Ziling said softly: "I think it's to see the excitement, don't worry about him, let's just wait here, don't go out, it's very chaotic outside now." ”

Yue'er shook her head again and again: "I didn't go out, the Manichaean people are too terrible." ”

It wasn't until the afternoon that the city was relatively quiet. Most of the officials and soldiers in the city were killed on the spot, and only a few high-ranking officials were temporarily imprisoned.

Under the attack of Fang La, Shi Bao and others, Nancheng Gu An's resistance did not last long. In less than half an hour, Gu An's pro-army and guards were killed and wounded, and Gu An himself was captured by Fang La's own hands.

After the defeat of the official army in Nancheng, the resistance in the city was almost negligible, and the rebels soon took control of the Sifang City Gate, and the city of Hangzhou officially changed hands.

Then Fang La took the generals to the mansion, took Gu An's carefully renovated mansion as his own, and at the same time locked all the officials he caught in the prison, and used them to worship the heavens when he ascended the throne.

Hundreds of miles away in Yangzhou, the Liangshan army did not know that Hangzhou had fallen and was marching southward.
