The sun is deflected, the sun is setting, and the afterglow of dusk renders half of the sky the color of golden rice ears, and the leaves of each tree shine in the twilight breeze.

It was in the evening that under the big willow tree at the mouth of the alley, a good show was staged.

First, two ruffians and hooligans came to make trouble, and later, a strong man dressed in pitch-black shorts came with two followers, drove the former away, and introduced himself as Cao Quan, what kind of wild dog gang.

"Big guys don't have to be afraid!"

Cao Quan said loudly: "Our Wild Dog Gang, unlike the Tiger Gang in the past, really takes on the responsibility of maintaining order, as long as we are here, we will not let the big guy be harassed by the ruffians and hooligans...... We Wild Dog Gang don't charge a lot of money, only a little bit of food......"

Hearing these words, everyone in the alley turned their heads to each other and talked about it.

"With just a little food, you can get shelter, which sounds good!"

"Yes, this Wild Dog Gang doesn't want much, and a little from the relief food is enough."

"Anyway, I don't need money, but I just pay a little food, and it's good to be safe and clean."

……

Some of them, wise men, seeing something, opened their mouths and stopped talking, but in the end they said nothing.

Some old people are also silent.

They have lived for a long time, they have seen a lot, and they have understood some 'routines', wasn't that the Tiger Gang like this at the beginning?

At the beginning, the protection fee was only one big money, two big money, and later, it slowly evolved into 'white three black four'.

How good can this Wild Dog Gang be? Don't look at just a little food now, what about in the future? If you want it, I'm afraid it's a lot of money!

What, from the very beginning, not used to it, not agreed? Don't pay?

Then, tomorrow, I am afraid that another wave of ruffians will come, and it will 'coincidentally' cause trouble to the people who take the lead.

Counting on the rebels?

Yes, although the rebel army is now in control of Changshan City, until now, the rebel army has not come, doesn't this explain the problem?

The top of the rebel army didn't know, but at least the low-level rebel army officials were definitely bought.

They don't dare to ask, and they don't dare to say, the older people are, the less courageous they are, and the more they know how to 'get confused'!

……

"What a self-directed and self-acting!"

Fang Rui stood in front of the window, witnessing all this, with a playful expression: "But then again, these people's acting skills are quite good, at least, it is not a problem to fool ordinary people." ”

"Those little fresh meat in the previous life should be ashamed and hide their faces......"

Of course, this is just a joke, just to slightly dilute his complicated feelings at the moment.

"If I guessed correctly, this is the Xia family's temptation of the righteous army, only collecting food, first, because ordinary people now have no money in their pockets, and they can't collect it if they want to; The second is to avoid pulling the egg with a big step, the action is smaller, and once there is a wind and grass, retract the claws, and advance and retreat freely. ”

"The low-level officials of the rebel army have probably been bought, are they at the top? Not necessarily. ”

"But in the future, there is a high probability that he will not make a move, or cooperate with the Xia family, or directly pick the peaches of the Xia family."

After all, there are many mountains inside the rebel army, and they also want to eat meat!

Of course, it's good to say now, ordinary people have a clean pocket or two, there is no oil and water, and now they collect a little food, and probably have the meaning of developing a 'paying habit'.

In the future, when the city's economy recovers, the bottom line will be gradually tested until it becomes the same as the former Tiger Gang.

"Is this really the case that the people are treated as leeks and harvested one stubble after another?"

"From the Tiger Gang to the Wild Dog Gang, from the Dayu Mansion to the Righteous Army, it's just a reincarnation!"

Fang Rui closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

……

Cao Quan took two followers to collect food from door to door, and after a while, he received it from the Fang family.

In order to avoid trouble, Fang Rui took the initiative to carry the food and sent it out.

"Hey, this is Doctor Fang, right? How can this be collected? I'm in charge, and Dr. Fang's family doesn't have to pay it. ”

Cao Quan waved his hand.

He had inquired about the people in the Hutong, but he knew that Fang Rui himself was a martial artist, and he had a good relationship with many righteous army officials and fast hunters.

That's it, what's more: Fang Rui's father, Fang Baicao, seems to be on a secret mission, and he can't say anything about it, and he can go straight to the sky and say a word to that Xuantong general.

Therefore, the other party's family, the other party's Rui, and Cao Quan never dared to make a face.

Watching people cook like this, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, is just a way to survive, which is very normal.

"Hey, how can you embarrass Cao Ye?! Isn't this supporting Cao Ye, supporting the Wild Dog Gang, and doing my part! ”

Fang Rui forcibly stuffed it.

This move is just to be with the light, and he is still very satisfied with the current "ordinary people who have some relationships", and he doesn't want to be a maverick.

watched Cao Quan leave.

Fang Rui's eyes narrowed, looking at this person's back, and suddenly thought of the original Tiger Master.

"Really...... The flowers are similar every year! He sighed softly.

At this time, in the willow alley, some people had already reacted and whispered.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the Wild Dog Gang won't be another Tiger Gang!" The man who spoke was full of sorrow.

"Alas, if you can get by, just make do with it, what else? Didn't you look at the righteous army and didn't take care of it? The second half of the sentence was very low.

"Life in the world, it's rare to be confused!" An old man sighed.

"There should be another good man, and it would be good to kill all these wicked people!" There was anticipation in the voice.

"Yes, I don't know if that hero will make a move this time?" The other continued.

……

"Throughout the ages, the people's yearning for heroes at the bottom has been poured into one story after another. But in reality, the sky will not help you, and the only one who can help you is yourself! ”

Listening to these voices, Fang Rui shook his head and turned back to the house.

However, if you really want to talk about it, the Xia family's practice of pushing the gang to the front of the stage to pull hatred and reap benefits for themselves is really useful. ’

At this moment, among those voices, they were basically scolding the Wild Dog Gang, and few of them were directly aimed at the Xia family. ’

It's just that.

Fang Rui is not an ordinary person, he is so easy to fool, the Xia family turned his hand like this, and he was stunned and couldn't recognize it clearly.

'Whether it is the Tiger Gang in the past or the Wild Dog Gang now, most of the sins committed must be counted on the head of the Xia family behind them, just like: The murderer is not only the knife, but also the person with the knife! ’

'If I had been weak in the past, I would probably have cut off this outstretched dog's paw; Now? I want to shoot the owner of the dog leash in the back! ’

What strength, what to do, Fang Rui knows in his heart.

With his current strength, the resources of the robbery point he has mastered are well arranged, and he is more than ninety percent sure that he will solve the problem without injury!

'Isn't it to improve your strength just to protect your family and get revenge? If you really want to pretend to be too cowardly, and pursue too much to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, then you will really become a pig. ’

'Xia family? Very good! Collecting money from my family for so many years, as well as the last raid, let's pull the list together this time! Fang Rui's heart was cold.

……

Twilight falls, and the moon is on the top.

It's dinner time again.

Today's dinner at the Fang family was unusually rich: stewed old hen, braised rabbit meat, lard and egg pancakes...... A large table was filled.

Under the dim warm glow of the oil lamp, it is steaming and fragrant.

"Mother, third sister, Ling'er, Nannan, all eat, don't save!" Fang Rui served vegetables to everyone.

"Brother Rui, if you want to practice martial arts, you have to eat more!"

"yes!"

Fang Xue and Sanniangzi directly picked up the bowl and picked up the vegetables for him.

"Brother, you eat, you eat!"

"Brother Arry!"

Fang Ling and Nan Nan, the two little girls, also joined in the fun, and one of them sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat for him.

"Enough, enough, no need." Fang Rui shook his head.

Since he has big medicine and old medicine, on the bright side, his food has been greatly reduced.

In fact, as long as you don't make a move every day and maintain the realm, every day, you only need to intercept a little bit of big medicine - if you don't worry about being too eye-catching, you can change to a few large buckets of chicken, duck and fish, which can also have the same effect.

If you make a shot, you need a little more to recover your strength.

In short, it is still very economical to put it like Fang Rui and just think about maintaining the realm.

If it is another martial artist, the speed of daily cultivation will be more than the speed of consuming resources; If you break through the realm, it will be even more.

'In just one remote county town of Changshan, there are many middle-grade martial artists, and they have spread to the entire Dayu, and I don't know how many. ’

And so many martial artists, the medicinal materials in the world have not been dug up, which is also interesting! ’

Among them, the mystery is deep, and you can see one or two leopards in the tube.

This is also the reason why Fang Rui is so honest.

Even though he knew that if he made trouble, he would be able to get a robbery point, but he really didn't dare to be too wasteful!

'As an immortal, I have time, don't hurry! How to say that, the days of doing things are long, and the days of accompanying family members are short. ’

Thinking of this, Fang Rui withdrew his thoughts, calmed down, blended in, and enjoyed the peace at the moment.

The dinner ended in such a brisk atmosphere.

……

After dinner.

Fang Xue's and the three ladies went to wash the dishes and brush the pots; Fang Ling and Nan Nan wiped the table and swept the floor.

Fang Rui entered the back room.

"If you want to do something to the Xia family, you still have to improve it one more time before it is safe."

For the robbery point, when it should not be used, Fang Rui will not use it indiscriminately; When it should be used, it will not be stingy, such as at this moment.

After all, if something happens to him, what's the use of accumulating more luck points on the panel?!

"Besides, martial arts and the like have to be improved after all, and now that they have been promoted, it is not a waste."

Close your eyes and summon the panel.

Fang Rui first looked at the "Deadly Sword Technique" in the skill column: "Let's start with you!" ”

Robbery point -500, "Deadly Knife Method" is a success!

Holding the knife again, he had a feeling that the knife was one and the mind was connected.

If you say that "Deadly Knife Technique" is Xiaocheng, even if you have entered the professional level, a bandit who licks blood from the knife edge, and a killer who kills people with skills, in terms of knife skills, it is generally at this level.

Then, the "Deadly Knife Technique" is completed, and the knife technique has entered the master level, and the horizontal knife that walked out of the sea of corpses and blood is the great general, and the knife technique is also to this extent!

……

"Go on!"

Raid Point-870, the success of "Swift Step"!

Under the test, Fang Rui found that under his full strength at the moment, his speed was half a percent faster than before the increase.

You must know: between the same level, the slightest difference is fatal, not to mention the critical moment, the speed difference is 5%!

……

"Go on!"

Robbery point-870, "Throwing Yan Thirteen Hands" is a success!

Buzz!

Fang Rui listened to the buzzing of the mosquito in his ear, suddenly opened his eyes, bent his fingers a little, turned his strength into the needle, and directly pierced the mosquito.

……

"Finally, there's "Transfiguration", ascension!"

Robbery Point-370, "Transfiguration" Xiaocheng!

Yes, this time, Fang Rui only upgraded the "Transfiguration Technique" to Xiaocheng, because the Xiaocheng level, the professional-level "Transfiguration", in a small place like Changshan City, is enough for the time being.

He is already confident that with some tools and materials at this time, he can make a makeover, so that people can't tell the difference.

……

"Yes, there are still six or seven hundred catastrophe points left as a backup."

Fang Rui closed the panel and stood up with a knife: "At this time, my comprehensive strength ......"

He thought for a moment, grabbed a handful of soybeans, and sprinkled them on the table.

Immediately.

In the dim light, I saw a flash of cold light, and Fang Rui swept over, bringing out a series of afterimages, and returned the knife to its sheath with a click.

On the table behind him, the soybeans were divided in half from the middle.

"The three Dacheng-level martial arts of "Killing Sword Technique", "Swift Step", and "Throwing Yan Thirteen Hands" have raised my strength to a rather outrageous level among the four-rank martial artists!"

"The old lady of the Xia family? Zuo Boyang? ”

Fang Rui recalled that day when he saw the battle, and at this moment he could unceremoniously comment: "Ear of the chicken!" ”

"Even if Li Xuantong is here, the other party has innate divine power, and he will only know after fighting. Among the four products, I am invincible, and above the four products ......"

"I'm not crazy, isn't it fragrant to bully someone weaker than me? Why can't you think about it, if you have to challenge someone in a stronger realm, or a big realm apart?! ”

Fang Rui calmed down his restless mood: "Can't float, steady!" ”

"In today's entire Changshan City, I am the king when I fight alone, but when I encounter special terrain, surrounded by a large army, and I shoot with bows and crossbows, it will be quite troublesome."

After all, a four-rank martial artist is also a mortal body, he can be injured, he will bleed, and his strength is limited.

'This time it's not as good as the last time when the Lin family was in the family, you can beat the water dogs. The Xia family still has quite a lot of minions, and there are even bows and crossbows and armor soldiers, so they have to think of a way to avoid being beaten. ’

'Disguise, medication ......'

Fang Rui thought about it, and had a rough plan in his heart.

……

Night.

When Fang Ling and Nan Nan fell asleep, Fang Rui arranged it and went out.

Half an hour later.

Fang Rui returned.

Yes, he didn't do anything on this trip, but went to observe, do homework, and gather intelligence.

"The defense of the Xia family is very tight, in addition to the patrolling courtyard, there are also light and dark sentry posts, especially the inner courtyard, with the well-arranged building pavilions everywhere, there are almost no dead ends."

"Even if it's me, I'm not too sure I'll be able to sneak in without alerting anyone."

"In the kitchen, there are basically no flaws, rotating meals, food sent into the inner courtyard, and there are multiple inspection procedures."

Fang Rui rubbed his forehead in distress, but did not give up: "If there is no flaw, then create a flaw!" Well, I still have to observe for two days, and then collect some information, and then, with "Transfiguration", you can ......"

During this trip, he also learned another interesting news: in a while, it will be the seventieth birthday of the old lady of the Xia family, and a big banquet will be held.

However, Fang Rui was not prepared to kill all sides in full view of everyone at the banquet, which was indeed painful, but it was also extremely risky.

"I heard that when the time comes, the rebels will also go. It was probably at the banquet that the old lady of the Xia family would ask the rebels for face, discuss the gang, and work together to give up part of the share......"

"Hey, how can I let you get away with it?!"

Fang Rui sneered: "Still thinking about your seventieth birthday?" Think beautifully! I want to do it in advance, so that the old lady of the Xia family will not live to be seventy years old, and let the happy events of the Xia family become funerals! ”

……

Two days have passed in a hurry, and Fang Rui's investigation of the Xia family has been carried out almost completely.

On this day, Fang Rui was ready to act.

In the evening, the Fang family had dinner early, and he went out to leave.

Of course, before leaving, as in the past two days, he arranged some gadgets casually, which was more than enough to deal with ordinary warriors.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night wind is howling.

In such an environment, Fang Rui galloped all the way and went straight to Xia's house.
