Chapter 483: The Disaster Begins (Yangzhou Chronicle)
"Smack-" In the silence, a loud slap protruded......
Lan Gu's slap hit Fang Zhongtian hard in the face. Fang Zhongtian didn't speak, just looked at Lan Gu quietly, but his eyes were full of complexity. It's not that he doesn't have anything to explain, but he doesn't know how to explain it - his mind is hesitant right now.
"No matter how you explain it, you can't fool me......" Lan Gu said with a little sadness, but her tone was tough, "You said that you loved me, but now you like another woman-"
Fang Zhongtian couldn't deny that he did have feelings for another woman, but it was only a good impression of the first meeting, and he had not yet made up his mind to love each other. Now Lan Gu's words and actions have made Fang Zhongtian a lot confused. Maybe in front of Lan Gu, Fang Zhongtian should be sober, knowing that Li Ting is just a fleeting passing woman to him, and what he should cherish more than others is his relationship with Lan Gu.
Fang Zhongtian knew that he was wrong, so he began to be ruthless and decided to forget about Li Ting......
"Can you listen to my explanation......" Fang Zhongtian finally wanted to start explaining, wanting to clarify that he and Li Ting actually had nothing to do with each other.
However, Lan Gu's temperament seems to have always been impatient, and she doesn't listen to Fang Zhongtian's explanation, in Lan Gu's heart, what she thinks is right must be right - this is also the biggest flaw in Lan Gu's character. Especially in the face of emotional problems, Lan Gu was not "perfunctory", seeing that Fang Zhongtian had a relationship with other women, Lan Gu looked unhappy.
Lan Gu didn't wait for Fang Zhongtian to explain, and then another slap went up. Zhong Tian did not stop this. It's still a loud one. However, Fang Zhongtian's expression still did not change, he knew Lan Gu's personality and wanted to calm her down. First of all, you have to calm down.
"Can't you just listen to my explanation?" Fang Zhongtian continued silently.
However, Lan Gu didn't seem to have this patience, and she didn't listen to Fang Zhongtian's explanation, so she turned around and said, "Hmph, Fang Zhongtian, you remember, you can choose to live with other women, but if that's the case, I won't let you go until I die-" After speaking. Lan Gu performed light skills and left the Huangfu compound directly.
The whole process has been an acute attack of Lan Gu. Fang Zhongtian barely said anything. However, Fang Zhongtian did not hate Lan Gu because of this, but constantly blamed himself: "Really...... Am I wrong......"
Fortunately, in the process of the two just now, Ge Wei and the others on the side did not pay too much attention to it, nor did they cause unnecessary embarrassment.
Fang Zhongtian stood in place and thought for a long time. Although he had a lot of conflicts with Lan Gu and Tian Xu. But now that the matter has burned his eyebrows, and the matter of Tian Xu's infiltration into the palace has been exposed, Yangzhou City will inevitably be unpeaceful, whether it is the Yangzhou prefect or the Mengyuan court, there will be a lot of movement next. Now the city is full of dangers, and if the two of them run out like this, something will definitely happen.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhongtian forgot about the troubles just now. turned around and ran to Ge Wei's side, and said solemnly to him, "Ge Gang Master." I have something to ask for below, and I ask the Ge Gang Master to help——"
"What's wrong?" asked Gerway instead.
Fang Zhongtian continued: "Now that Brother Tian Xu has made such a big move, I'm afraid Yangzhou City will inevitably have a bloody storm next...... Gang Leader Ge, I hope that the beggar gang can mobilize and perform their duties to protect the people in the city from being ruined!"
Ge Wei felt that what Fang Zhongtian said was very reasonable, so he nodded seriously and said: "What Master Fang said is extremely true, Ge Mou will notify the beggar gang to gather all the brothers in Yangzhou City to help the people of Yangzhou take refuge!"
So, Ge Wei turned his head to Huang Xuanqing and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Xian still has affairs on this trip, and he can't stay under the door for a long time. Now that Yangzhou City is rioting and people are panicking, please be more careful Brother Huang!"
Huang Xuanqing nodded, and replied a little calmly: "Don't worry too much about me, you became the leader of the beggar gang today, but such a big thing happened, you should be cautious, it is Brother Ge yourself-don't worry, I will do my best to take care of the people affected by the disaster in this area......"
Ge Wei also nodded in response, and then went out with the disciples of the Beggar Gang and Fang Zhongtian to discuss emergency measures.
Fang Zhongtian felt a little anxious in his heart, and more of this was worried about Lan Gu and Tian Xu. In fact, this time the contradiction, I can't say that I am not wrong at all, if it weren't for my previous indecision and the love just now out of control......
"Lan Gu, because of me, she must be very unhappy now, her character, but don't let anything happen...... But what I'm most worried about is Tian Xu, if he really loses his mind and fights with those people from the Mengyuan Imperial Court...... "The more Fang Zhongtian thought about it, the more anxious he became, at this moment, his mind was already in chaos......
At this moment, on the other side of Yangzhou City, Tian Xu is shuttling back and forth in the ruins of the city with light skills. The dispute with Fang Zhongtian that had just been severed in two could not be reversed until now. And to Tian Xu's character, he is very serious in everything he does, and he is by no means joking. He also has his own principles, since he said that he would exchange his life for the lives of the people of Yangzhou City, then he would definitely do it......
"I won't back down like this, Fang Zhongtian, I must prove that I am better than you......" Tian Xu thought in his heart, or the jealousy of the other party Zhongtian, "Since you don't believe in me and join forces to blame me, then I will prove it to you...... Prove it to you......"
Unconsciously, in the chaos, Tian Xu couldn't help but think of what he had said in front of Bai Xie and Zhou Xingtong......
(in recall)......
"In fact, the meaning of life is very simple, although there are differences between people, but living in the present is just to prove ...... yourself"
"Prove yourself......" Bai Xie still didn't understand, and continued to question, "Prove yourself what?"
"It's to prove your ability and get the recognition of others!" Tian Xu continued, "There are so many heroes such as the 'Four Saints of Martial Arts' in the Central Plains Martial Arts, how they succeed is not because of their unremitting efforts and the recognition of others. Isn't it true that you have proven your strength in front of others and found the meaning of living in the world?"
......
"I want to prove myself, with my own efforts......" Tian Xu sobered up from his thoughts. Faced with Bai Xie's question, Tian Xu actually said the pain in his heart and said, "I want to prove myself in front of the world, I am better than him, and I will not live under his shadow forever." I want to prove myself through my own efforts and be recognized by the world, so I never bow my head in front of anything and admit defeat - this is the purpose of my life in the world. It's also the meaning of survival!"
(In reality)......
"I've always aimed at you, Fang Zhongtian, and I've always wanted to prove myself with my own efforts—I'm better than you!" Tian Xu still said secretly in his heart. "But today, you said those things, and I was so disappointed...... What are you, people like you don't deserve to be my opponent at all. You have received so much glory in the world. But I was more likely to suffer along the way. But they got nothing...... I can't get the approval of others, I can't get the glory that belongs to me, and I can't even get Lan Gu...... I hate you, I hate that all the scenery along the way is yours. I'm going to prove myself, to prove that I'm the king of this world—and you're nothing!"
Tian Xu's demons became heavier and heavier, and he even had the idea of killing. His pace of light work became faster and faster, and the more irritable his heart became. The more disordered his pace became. His eyes were full of hatred from the other party, in a sense. He had almost forgotten that Fang Zhongtian and himself were still brothers......
was in the midst of Tian Xu's grief and indignation, and suddenly, on the side of him, the scene of the fire came into view. Tian Xu hadn't woken up from his thoughts, and when he looked sideways, he saw a fire breaking out in the compound of a private house, and around the compound, there were countless officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou prefect who were surrounded.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on?" Tian Xu's eyes widened in disbelief, but it didn't take long for the screams and cries of civilians to be heard from time to time around the burning compound - this time Tian Xu knew that the Yangzhou prefect seemed to be doing something outrageous.
"Qiu Qian'an must be chasing my whereabouts, so he sent soldiers to search the city......" Tian Xu looked at the house in the middle of the fire, and said resentfully in his heart, "If it is really as Fang Zhongtian said, it is I who caused this qiē...... Since it is said that it is good to exchange life, that is death, and I am also inseparable from the Yangzhou prefect and the Mengyuan court!"
Thinking of this, Tian Xu still has a sense of righteousness in his heart. Tian Xu quickened his pace and rushed to the scene of the fire......
"Ahh
"Quick, interrogate me one by one, if you don't name the little fall of the kid who sneaked into the prefect's mansion, kill all the people here!" the leading soldier shouted. This person is none other than Wu Tong, the boss of the four evils and ugliness who was injured by Bai Xie and Zhou Xingtong before. Now, Qiu Qian'an ordered the whole city to be searched, vowing to arrest Tian Xu, who had infiltrated the palace and knew the top secret, so he sent the "Four Evils and Ugly" and others who rarely recovered, to lead the troops to search the city.
The "Four Evils and Ugliness" have done all the bad things in the rivers and lakes, and now they are letting them lead the troops to search the city, and everywhere they go is full of corpses and inhumane. This is not the first case, during the time Tian Xu went back, they have "swept" several places in Yangzhou City, and now the few places in the city that are burning and ruined are the "masterpieces" of these people......
"Ahh
"After sweeping this place, we have to go to the next place, big brother-" Tortuo suddenly said to the side, "The thief was able to sneak into the palace alone, he must be strong in martial arts, what's the use of asking these useless civilians here?"
"What you said also makes sense, you can't waste too much time here...... Wu Tong touched his chin disapprovingly, pretending to be casual and said, "Then where are we going to inspect next?"
"Let's go to the north of the city, it's a desolate place, maybe the thieves are hiding there......" Totor replied.
"If it makes sense, I'll listen to you-" Wu Tong agreed without thinking.
However, at this time, a soldier covered in blood slowly walked by, and asked Wu Tong in a voice: "What about these useless civilians, they can't tell the truth about thieves until they die......
"It's very simple, just kill them all......" Wu Tong said inhumanely. After all, they have done all the bad things on the rivers and lakes, and it is a common thing for them to regard human life as a mustard in this way......
In the endless scream of death, a vigorous figure suddenly flew above the firelight. The person who came was Tian Xu, he carried a long sword, flew into the flames of the courtyard, just when the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were about to kill all the civilians in the courtyard, Tian Xu's long sword waved, three moves and two styles, and all the surrounding soldiers were cut to the ground.
"Who is it?" the leading soldier naturally asked loudly when he saw that the comer was not good.
Tian Xu lifted the bloody blade, slowly raised his head, looked at the group of inhuman "executioners" in front of him with jealousy and hatred, and said: "The person you are looking for is me, and if you have the ability, you will come to me Tian Xu!"
"You, you, aren't you...... At that time, the soldiers in front of the ......" who broke through in the palace seemed to have an impression, and when Tian Xu broke through and escaped in the palace before, almost everyone had seen Tian Xu's face......
"No, it's not good, my lord-" And outside the courtyard, just now Wu Tong and the others were still wondering who flew into the courtyard, when a soldier who ran out of the courtyard hurriedly reported, "Oh no, that, that, that......"
"What, what's all the fuss about being so nervous?" Wu Tong didn't think so, he felt that in broad daylight, no unknown person would dare to come in and smash the field halfway, so he said without worry.
"The one who infiltrated the palace and broke through before...... The thief, he ...... He's coming on his own—" the soldier knelt down, nervous.
"What did you say?" Wu Tong said in disbelief when he heard this, "Where are the others now?"
"Just, it's inside......" the soldier continued to tremble.
"Hmph, I didn't expect to send it to the door-" Wu Tong pulled out the long hook on his waist, kicked away the kneeling soldier, and then said to the three brothers beside him, "Let's go, brothers, it's time for our 'four evils' to take action...... I was humiliated by Bai Xie and Zhou Xingtong's two stinky guys before, and today we want to get it back on this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky!"
The other three were also vicious, followed Wu Tong, picked up their guys, and walked towards the courtyard......
And in the depths of the courtyard, Tian Xu was still fighting with the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although it is not a problem for martial arts to deal with these minions, there are too many of them, and they consumed a lot of internal strength when dealing with Bai Xie and Zhou Xingtong before, and now they are surrounded by countless soldiers, and then there are "four evils and ugliness" that are difficult to deal with. Although he swore that he would solve the big mistake he had made, now it seems that it is still unknown whether he can escape today, let alone save the people in the city.
"Ahh
"Thank you, great benefactor...... "After the people thanked them briefly, they ran to the back of the courtyard one by one, and soon, only Tian Xu and the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were left in the courtyard. Now Tian Xu can put down a big fight, but it seems to be too late, Tian Xu has already run out of energy, and he has the heart to fight the enemy in front of him.
To make matters worse, at this time, the "four evils and ugliness" had already brought the guy to the courtyard, and when they saw Tian Xu, who was already a little exhausted, the four of them had a terrifying smile on their faces.
"This time...... I'll see where else you can run—" Wu Tong said to Tian Xu in a hideous tone, and licked the blood on his long hook with his tongue.
Tian Xu supported the ground with one hand and put the other hand on the ground with a long sword, although he was unwilling, but he was almost powerless.
"I'm a person who wants to prove that I'm stronger than Fang Zhongtian, I can't fall down in this place......" Tian Xu's heart was still insisting, thinking that he couldn't bow his head in front of death anymore, Tian Xu was ready to fight to the death...... (To be continued......)
