Chapter XIII The Situation
On the first day of the second month of February 2716, it was already seven days since the restaurant would meet the imperial court to send the envoy to kill seven people, and the situation in Bailuo County at this time was completely different from a week ago.
Since Fang Qizhi publicly appeared on that day, the city of Bailuo County suddenly entered a turbulent state of undercurrent, although on the occasion of the restaurant that day, all the martial arts hall owners were all flattering to him in front of Fang Qixuan, and they all looked like they were desperately surrendered, but in fact, as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, the vast majority of these martial arts hall owners suddenly had heavy and cold faces, and they began to mobilize in tandem, and in just a few days, they organized and formed a large number of killing alliances.
After all, the seven killings in the past seven years were too many in Guangyuan Mansion, and almost every martial arts hall in the eight counties of Guangyuan Mansion had disciples who died in the massacre he took the lead.
The great flood seven years ago directly destroyed the homes of countless people in Guangyuan Mansion, shattered the families of thousands of people, and destroyed the ancestral inheritance of many old martial arts halls.
It is precisely for this reason that although he followed the imperial army three or four years ago to resist the musket team that the West tried to invade the colony made a lot of contributions, Yang Wu, the leader of the Red Turban Rebel Army in Yanghe County, "Purple-faced Heavenly King", still sneaked into the military camp with a knife to try to assassinate him when he was wounded by a musket, and after sneaking in and was discovered, he chased him all the way with a knife for hundreds of miles, forcing him to jump into the Taihu Lake with a serious injury to survive.
The reason for all this is because Fang Qi's killing has caused too much public resentment in Yanghe County, as long as anyone can successfully kill him, he will be able to win the hearts of millions of people in Yanghe County in one fell swoop, and completely lay the foundation of consolidating the hegemony in Yanghe County.
Although Yang Wu, the "purple-faced king", has always disdained to take advantage of the fire to rob and act when others are injured, when he saw the rest of the rebel leaders in Yanghe County trying to seize this "gift package", he also had to go against his own principles and sneak into the imperial army camp alone to assassinate Fang Qi, so as not to let the hearts of millions of people in Yanghe County be gained by the rest of the rebel army.
And since that day, he was chased and killed by the "purple-faced king" Yang Wu to the point that he had almost no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, and had to risk his life to jump into Taihu Lake to survive, Fang Qishu has never appeared in the eyes of the world in the past three or four years, as if he was dead, he completely fell silent, and it was not until this time that he openly appeared again in the Bailuo County martial arts competition.
And only an hour after he appeared, the shocking news about Fang Qi's killing in Bailuo County was instantly spread to the rest of Yanghe County's prefectures and counties, and Yanghe County was surging for a while, and the eyes of the major forces in Yanghe County were all attracted to Bailuo County, a place that was originally only famous near Guangyuan Mansion.
The forces under the imperial court, the King of Anling in Luzhou, and the "purple-faced king" Yang Wu, the leader of the rebel armies in Yanghe County, have all started their own actions, either planning to protect Fang Qikill, or planning to use the "gift package" of Fang Qikill to achieve some of their desired goals, each with different purposes.
Under the effect of the fuse of Fang Qi's killing, the conflict between the three forces has become increasingly strong these days, and various secret fights between each other have become more and more obvious, and vaguely the three forces seem to have a plan to use Bailuo County as a battlefield to completely solve past grievances in this game, and the reinforcements sent by the three forces in Bailuo County are increasing.
As the most popular leader of the red-robed rebel army in Yanghe County, although the "purple-faced Heavenly King" Yang Wu had complicated things and could not take time to rush to Bailuo County in person for the time being, he also directly sent his most proud deputy leader, "Bagun" Li Fang, to Bailuo County, so that the will expressed by this newly promoted Purifying Sect Master became the leader of the Killing Alliance.
In the early morning of 2 February, Li Changchun took Lu Xiu and the others directly to the venue of the martial arts competition after breakfast--- Bailuo County Ya.
"Master, shall we go to Bailuo County to compete? You participated in that killing alliance some time ago, and this time the martial arts selection competition will definitely be there, is it really safe for us to go like this? ”
"Fang Qi has been very quiet in the past few days, not at all like his previous mad demon killing god-like performance, maybe he has already grasped some information about us members of the Killing Alliance, and plans to kill us in the selection competition."
Lu Xiu played with the small short blade in his hand, his eyes were full of excitement and yearning, while he said such terrifying words in his mouth, he did not forget to use his white teeth to constantly bite and devour the steaming fritters in his hand, and his murderous intent couldn't stop coming out of his body.
Hearing Lu Xiu's question, Li Changchun subconsciously squinted his eyes, the killing intent in his eyes fluctuated, and it took a long time before he spoke:
"No matter what, the fame and rewards that can be obtained from winning this competition are too great, we must not give up like this, we must go and see."
"As for the issue of Fang Qi's killing in the arena, you don't have to worry too much, this competition is a joint discussion and decision between the imperial court and the forces of the rest of the states, the purpose is to fight against the advance invasion teams that are about to move to kill the Western countries, even a Soul Cleansing Realm Grandmaster Martial Artist like Fang Qikill will definitely not dare to destroy the order of the competition that affects the common maintenance of the major forces this time."
"In such a situation that affects the whole body, no matter how bold Fang Qi Kill is, he will never dare to do anything to us before we leave the county government after the end of the competition, and at the same time, the forces of the top eight elite disciples who successfully won the competition this time will definitely be protected by the imperial court, and this is enough!"
"No choice can be foolproof, since the moment we came here, there is no way out, and not going to Bailuo County to participate in the competition will only lead to worse results."
Li Changchun's words were reasonable, and they were instantly nodded in agreement by everyone, including Lu Xiu, but with such a clear reason and logic, he would actually say it in the foul mouth of his master one day, which really surprised Lu Xiu, who had grown up with him since he was a child.
"Dad, why did you speak so clearly today, it's the first time I've seen you so wise."
Li Yinsu looked at his father with some surprise and teased with a smile.
"Hahahaha, awesome! Actually, it was all taught to me by others in the Killing Alliance gathering this time, let's hurry up. ”
Li Changchun laughed and responded to his daughter's doubts, touched her head with a smug face, and continued to walk towards Bailuo County Ya with great strides.
Behind him, a few doubts suddenly flashed in Lu Xiu's smiling eyes.
"It always feels like I'm ignoring something, strange..."
