The night wind howled, blowing the clouds like waves, and a bright moon was sometimes hidden and sometimes revealed in the dark clouds.

Under the dark veil of night, the streets are empty, and there are few people, except for the sporadic Taiping thieves patrolling the officials, there is no one else.

The doors of every house are closed, most of them have blown out the lights, and only a few people have a light like a bean in the house, with a dim and dim light flickering.

It looks extremely deserted.

In stark contrast, it was the direction of the Lin family, and there was a huge sound like a tide spreading in all directions.

"Has it started?!"

Fang Rui totoed a little, the whole person jumped high, borrowed two strokes on the wall, jumped straight onto an eaves, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Lin family.

Unlike elsewhere in the city, where the flames were blazing and the shouts of murder were deafening. You can also see that a group of Taiping troops like wolves and tigers rushed into the forest mansion and scattered into the field like sparks.

"There is an order from above, the Lin family will not stay today!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Spare your life!"

……

The sound of shouting for killing, begging for mercy, and the sound of swords colliding...... Ringing into a ball.

There were fights everywhere, fires everywhere, and idle warriors who climbed over the walls and alleys in all directions, breaking into the Lin family and looting, like a shadow of distortion and invasion.

"Broken drums and 10,000 pounds! At this time, the big ship of the Lin family ran aground and sank, and the enemies of the past, the remnants of the big families who fell into the well, and the idle warriors who took advantage of the fire to rob ...... It's all here! ”

Fang Rui looked at those shadowy figures and knew that more of them were people like him who wanted to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.

Of course, due to the restrictions of the Lin family's terrain, the army is not easy to display, and individual warriors can fly on the wall and be flexible, which is also the basis for fishing in troubled waters.

Whoa!

The night wind was howling, carrying a rich sweet and bloody atmosphere, Fang Rui stood with his hands in his hands, his robe was fierce, and he looked down from a high place.

Saw:

The Lin family's scattered pavilions and overlapping cloister courtyards divide the entire battlefield into trivial.

The Taiping army killed the Lin family's family members and thugs; The warriors of the Lin family courtyard fought with the warriors of the Taiping Army and the warriors of the Xia family; Idle warriors and Taiping warriors competed for robbery......

It's a mess.

"It's a step too late, but it's not too late! Soldier against soldier, general against general, then, where is the king against the king? ”

Fang Rui's idea had just been born.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

In the center of the Lin family, probably the location of the lobby, three figures pierced through the roof of the house, jumping out like cannonballs, splashing a large amount of rubble, mud and wood, and rolling down one after another.

"This is?!"

Fang Rui watched from afar, witnessing the aftermath of the three-person fight, two or three feet apart, bursting the eaves of a roof out of thin air.

"The dark energy can only be three inches out of the body, and it is far less powerful...... Therefore, these three people must be four-rank martial artists! ”

"The gray-haired old man should be the old lady of the Xia family; The middle-aged man who is like a lion should be Lin Xiong, the head of the Lin family; The other one who joined forces with the old lady of the Xia family and besieged Lin Xiong was probably a fourth-grade martial artist of the righteous army...... Li Xuantong?! But didn't he leave? ”

As soon as this idea was born, Fang Rui vetoed himself: "No! That's not Li Xuantong! ”

"I heard that Li Xuantong is eight feet tall, five big and three thick, even if he exaggerates, it should not be much different, but the fourth-grade martial artist of the righteous army, although he is not short, he is lean, and he definitely has nothing to do with being tall and mighty!"

Moreover, it is rumored that Li Xuantong is born with divine power and is invincible at the same level, if it is really Li Xuantong, to deal with a Lin Xiong, why do you need to join forces with the old lady of the Xia family?

Fang Rui had a guess in his heart: 'This fourth-rank martial artist is most likely a recent breakthrough in the righteous army! ’

'Also, after the rebels broke through the county seat, they raided the big families in the city, obtained countless resources, and there were warriors with the limit of the five grades, so they just used this resource to break through...... It's not that it's impossible to say......

But Fang Rui still felt that something was not right: "The realm of the fourth grade, is it so easy to break through?!" ”

"Moreover, Li Xuantong's gang gives me the impression that they don't look like the Wandering Army at all!"

As we all know, peasant uprisings had their own limitations, such as the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...... At the beginning, there were few military think tanks, and there was no shortage of stupid tricks.

On the other hand, Li Xuantong is this person-

Be wise and wise: subdue the Changshan bandits, and destroy the thieves and soldiers twice; After breaking through the county seat of Changshan, the starry night rushed to attack other counties......

Be ruthless and ruthless: kill all the remaining displaced people who are attacking the city to eliminate unstable factors; Never soft on big households......

If this person is a 'hero', he can barely explain the past.

But, what about the government?

After the Taiping thieves entered the city, they raided large households, divided fields and grain, and cleared up cases...... Well done, in full swing.

It's only been a few days, and the government decree has been accessible and the party has stabilized, which shows that there are great talents among them!

That great talent should not have appeared in the rebels at this time, or rather, too soon. Fang Rui frowned and thought.

In troubled times, the world is turned upside down, dragons and snakes rise from the land, such as the big families, famous and talented, they will bet on the fall.

But that has to show a certain potential, at least, to occupy a place to be possible.

However, where did Li Xuantong and his gang go?

"Of course, the great talent among the Taiping thieves can be forcibly explained: down-and-out and poor, met by chance, and coincidental...... It's not that it doesn't make sense, but it's a little deliberate. ”

In short, Fang Rui felt that among the rebels, the mystery was deep.

Even, this new Sipin made him not too surprised, but there was a feeling of 'unreasonable, expected', which made him feel a certain intuition to be verified.

After verification.

For the so-called 'Taiping Thief' and 'Righteous Army', Fang Rui became more and more jealous in his heart.

"That's it, these have nothing to do with me, and this is not the time to think about them!"

Fang Rui suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't plan to enter the Lin family and loot anything.

It is said that the good is in the periphery, that is, in the periphery.

Moreover, he is not stupid, he entered the Lin family to plunder, worked hard, and may be in danger - maybe a few middle-grade martial artists will pop up somewhere, or be involved in the battle of fifth-grade martial artists!

And most importantly: the harvest is uncertain.

On the contrary, Fang Rui stayed outside, condescending, waiting for the rabbits, waiting for the idle warriors who entered the Lin Mansion to loot come out, and then went to rob, playing with a hand of 'praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind', isn't it fragrant?

Safe and worry-free.

Of course, those idle warriors who entered the Lin Mansion to loot were still struggling to loot at this time, far from the time when they returned with a full load and came out.

"Don't be in a hurry, this kind of work is to be patient...... After all, how can the fat sheep get wool from them when they are not full? ”

"Now, you can watch the battle first, and learn about the combat power of the four-rank martial artist in advance......"

Fang Rui found a higher ground and hidden eaves, leisurely looked at the battlefield in the distance, and began to watch the battle.

……

Lin Family Center Complex.

Three figures chased and fought among the eaves, and in the bright moonlight, they were so fast that they brought out a series of afterimages, and where they passed, the bricks, tiles, mud and stones flew and tumbled like iron ploughs.

Just as Fang Rui guessed, the name of the fourth-rank martial artist of the righteous army was Zuo Boyang, and he had recently broken through.

Among the three, Lin Xiong is in the prime of life, and his state is at the peak; The old lady of the Xia family is experienced, but she is old and weak; Zuo Boyang has just broken through, and his realm is unstable.

Therefore, the latter two are two against one, but Lin Xiong can still maintain it.

The old lady of the Xia family made a move, and the pitch-black dragon head crutch in her hand flew over, and she could still open her mind and speak: "Master Lin, you didn't leave, the old man admires you!" ”

Even though he knew that Lin Xiong was because his goal was too big, and he was staring at the eyes of the Xia family and the righteous army, it was not easy to go......

But even so, with the strength of the other party's four grades, it is not impossible to get rid of the family and leave alone.

However, for the sake of the survival of the family, in order to attract the attention of the Xia family and the Taiping thieves, and let the juniors of the family break through, Lin Xiong still resolutely chose to stay and gave up the opportunity to escape.

"Haha, why am I, Lin Xiong, afraid of death?"

Lin Xiong laughed and said: "It's just that the gangsters sow discord and make your family sacrifice the city, but I am unwilling!" Old man Xia, is you willing to endure this calculation? ”

"It's better to take advantage of Li Xuantong's absence, you and I will join forces to destroy this Zuo Boyang, expel the Taiping thieves, and rule Changshan City together! Wouldn't it be nice to search the whole city again and find out the thief who was in trouble in the dark, cut by a thousand knives, and divided the corpse of five horses? ”

"Bold! When death is on the verge of death, do you dare to speak cleverly?! ”

Without waiting for the old lady of the Xia family to reply, Zuo Boyang, a fourth-rank martial artist in the righteous army, heard this heart-wrenching remark, so he shouted violently and stepped up the offensive.

"Yes, the head of the Lin family doesn't have to sow discord, I have my own plans, old man...... Since I have taken refuge in the righteous army, my Xia family must be the head of the general Xuantong! ”

The old lady of the Xia family knew that he couldn't get off when he got on the thief ship, and he was most taboo at both ends of the head rat.

Moreover, the person who delivered the planks and calculated the Xia family, he would go to investigate, why bother with Lao Linxiong?

At this time.

In order to show his loyalty, the old lady of the Xia family also stepped up his offensive, and for a while Lin Xiong was stumbling, obviously at a disadvantage, and he could no longer tell his mind to speak.

……

'A thousand knives, five horses divided into corpses? Boy! Am I hated like that? Thanks to the tight hiding! ’

Fang Rui said secretly in his heart, watching the battlefield from afar, glad that he had acted cautiously in the past, and his hands and tails were clean, leaving no tails.

After a while.

"Huh?"

Fang Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at one place: "There are idle martial artists who have plundered coming out?" The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, the time has come, it's time for me to go out! ”

……

Bang!

A masked warrior climbed out of the wall of the Lin family and jumped to the ground, the machete in his hand was still dripping with blood, and he had a lot of baggage on his back, obviously gaining a lot of money.

"Robbery!" But an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huh?!"

The masked martial artist frowned: "The Lin family is destroyed today, there are countless gold, silver, jade, and martial arts, why don't you take it yourself?" Do you have to embarrass me here? ”

"That's not going to be able to talk!"

Fang Rui didn't say anything more, and drew the knife with a bang, and the whole action had an indescribable charm in the moonlight.

If there is a person who is proficient in swordsmanship, he will definitely notice that something is wrong, and I am afraid that he will kneel on the spot.

But this masked warrior didn't have that eyesight: "Good thief, I have good words with you, I really think my grandfather is muddy?!" ”

He sneered, and rushed towards him with the machete in his hand, like a roc spreading its wings.

However, the man was greeted with a knife.

This knife is not fancy, there is just: fast, accurate, ruthless!

Swish!

The two staggered.

Fang Rui retracted his knife with a click.

Behind him, a red line appeared on the masked warrior's neck, and the human skull rolled down, leaving only the headless corpse to run forward a few more steps, and then fell to the ground with a thud in the burst of blood.

The man's head rolled, and the masked kudzu cloth on his face fell off with it, revealing his true face.

"Well, this guy?!"

Fang Rui found that he still knew this person and had a one-sided relationship, it was: that He Juntou.

- That is: After the Taiping thieves besieged the city, the eight-rank warrior who came and wanted to collect the three ladies was the former head of the Dayu Mansion.

"That's a ...... It is a small world?! ”

Fang Rui didn't have much friendship with this He Juntou, he just sighed and began to loot the loot.

He hastily examined the things, but did not look closely, and then he left the place, and returned to the hidden eaves, and began to wait for the rabbit again.

In this way, he watched six ways and listened to all directions, and soon succeeded in robbing three or four waves.

For a while, the harvest was quite rich, so that I couldn't fit it on my body, so I had to pick a light cheat book and put it on my body, such as gold and silver, jade, jewelry, etc., all of which were wrapped first, and I found a place to hide it.

And not long after.

"Finally caught a wave of big fish!"

Fang Rui looked at a dwelling.

There, almost a mile away from the Lin Mansion, in the backyard of an ordinary house, suddenly a wave of people came out of the tunnel and climbed over the wall to leave.

Fang Rui swept over and rushed over silently, just when he was only a few dozen meters close to the other party, he suddenly made a move, holding his breath.

'It seems that I'm not the only one staring at this wave of big fish!' Hey, there are still many acquaintances in this big fish? His heart moved.

……

"Lin Feng, Lin Sangongzi, you really made me wait!" A joking voice rang out.

Not bad! The big fish that came out in this wave was Fang Rui's acquaintance, Lin Feng, behind him, there were twin personal maids who had been close to each other, and among the guards, Yuan Da was also included.

And the people who surrounded Lin Feng and others were the eldest son of the Xia family, as well as the warriors of the Xia family and the righteous army.

"Xia Yunzhao, why are you here?!"

Lin Feng's face changed greatly, but he was not stupid, he reacted instantly, there was a spy in his family, and he immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Two steps behind him, the pair of twin personal maids Qing'er and Yu'er turned pale and said, "Childe, I'll damn it!" ”

Meanwhile.

Poof!

As if they were ready, they plunged daggers into their chests and killed themselves.

"Qing'er, Yu'er, how can it be you?!"

Lin Feng's eyes were cracked, and he never imagined that the problem was actually with these two pillow people.

But at this time, I didn't have time or heart to think about it: "After all the nursing homes are broken, Uncle Quan, you take me away!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Leaving all the courtyards to block Xia Yunzhao and his party, the man known as 'Uncle Quan' jumped onto the wall with Lin Feng in a sweep, without any regret, and took the road.

"Rotten! Rubbish! ”

Xia Yunzhao glanced at the corpses of the twin maids with disgust: "Their family, there is no need to keep them later...... The others stay, Fu Bo, Shou Bo, let's go and give Lin San Gongzi a ride! ”

……

'Awesome! That Xia Yunzhao of the Xia family actually rebelled against Lin Feng's personal maid, this is really amazing! I don't know what kind of grievances and hatreds there are, and the Minotaur plot ......'

Fang Rui shook his head, got rid of his thoughts, and looked at Yuan Da and the three of them, who had fled and chased after each other, and came here.

Before.

Yuan Da stayed behind, but he didn't stay where he was, he also wanted to break through, but he was entangled by three seven-rank martial artists, and after killing one person with a knife, he was also injured and chased by the other two.

At this time, fleeing while fighting, danger arises.

'Not good! ’

Yuan Dage blocked a sword, but another person's knife was already slashed in the air.

At this moment-

Swish! Swish!

Out of nowhere, two machetes flew.

One of them hit the knife that slashed in the air, deflecting it, allowing Yuan Da to seize the opportunity and stab the sword warrior with one sword; There was also a flying machete, which pierced the chest of another sword warrior.

At this point, the remaining two seven-rank martial artists were all wiped out.

Call!

Yuan Da took a big breath, hugged his fists, and looked at the dark alleys around him: "I don't know which master came to the rescue, can you show up?" ”

The words fell, and after three or five breaths, there was still silence, only the sound of the night wind screaming and snoring.

Knowing that the master does not want to meet.

Yuan Da sighed in his heart, swung his robe, knelt down with a plop, and knocked his head three times in a row before he got up and said: "Thank you for saving your life, in the future, if you have the opportunity, you will repay today's kindness!" ”

With that, he raised the horizontal knife in his hand and strode away.

As for the Lin family?

After Fang Cai's break, it can already be regarded as 'dying once', which is enough to repay the Lin family's kindness over the years.

……

"Very good, Yuan Da's favor, this can be regarded as a repayment."

At the beginning, in the black market, Lin Feng wanted to find Fang Rui to go over, but it was Yuan Da who mentioned it and told him the inside information.

- Whether Yuan Da had a slight impression of him, or whether he was unhappy with Gao or not, he did it casually, in short, Fang Rui wrote down that favor.

And Fang Cai's shot, even if it is repaid!

As for after?

Fang Rui couldn't care about it, whether Yuan Da successfully escaped or was caught up again, it had nothing to do with him, and he was at his own risk.

"Yuan Da's favor, I returned it. On Lin Feng's side, it's time to recover the original debt! ”

Fang Rui walked briskly on the wall, looking at the two figures not far in front of him.

……

"Childe, hurry, not far ahead, someone will answer, we will be able to escape immediately!" Uncle Quan's voice was filled with joy.

"Good! Uncle Quan, don't worry, after today's catastrophe, I will not treat ...... badly."

It is worthy of receiving an elite education since childhood, and at this time, Lin Feng is still instinctively painting cakes.

Merely.

At this time, he was panting violently, sweat beads were dripping on his forehead, his hair was scattered, and he no longer had the temperament of 'son like jade' in the past, which made this more convincing.

Just when the two of them were happy-

Swish!

On the wall in front of him, a masked figure fell, his robe was fierce, he drew his knife, and a pair of cold eyes looked over.

At that time, the wind was howling, the dark clouds covered the bright moon, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a murderous night of happiness and revenge!
