Chapter 169 Helping Hands

One man and one dog return to Yixiangzhai.

Hongye came forward and asked with a soft smile, "Master, is the mission going well?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and replied, "Not bad."

Hongye was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "After I reported the news of Ma Zhengming's injury, the eldest lady immediately selected four masters and sent them to support you."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly, said "Oh", and asked: "Who are they?"

Hongye replied: "There are four brothers in Wei's Villa, Wei Zhifeng, Wei Zhihuo, Wei Zhishan, and Wei Zhilin."

What a great group of four brothers: Fenghuoshanlin!

Fang Zhixing was surprised and asked, "What happened to Wei's Villa? Why did the four brothers end up here with me?"

Hongye replied, "About two years ago, Wei's Villa discovered a mine, but unfortunately the plan was not kept secret and the Ruan family found out about it, and they wanted to get involved.

But Wei's Villa felt that the price offered by the Ruan family was too low, almost a robbery, so it secretly contacted other buyers.

Unexpectedly, the Ruan family had been monitoring the Wei's Villa. After discovering their petty thefts, they flew into a rage and immediately destroyed the Wei's Villa.

The four Wei brothers managed to save their lives by some strange coincidence, and finally joined our Dong family."

It's the Ruan family again...

Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth and nodded in response: "Let them come to the study to see me."

He first returned to the study, put down his equipment, and sat on the chair.

The servant brought tea and a fruit plate.

Soon, Hongye led four burly middle-aged men into the room.

Fang Zhixing took a quick look and found that the four men were between thirty and forty years old, all of them had big beards, leopard heads, round eyes, and were of strong build.

The four brothers have one thing in common: their eyes are gloomy and cruel, and their expressions are ferocious, as if the words "I am a gangster" are written on their faces.

"Greetings, Master!"

The four Wei brothers knelt on one knee in unison, their posture very respectful.

"Everyone, get up."

Fang Zhixing took a sip of tea slowly and asked, "What is the current strength of the four heroes?"

The eldest brother Wei Zhifeng quickly replied: "Master, among the four of us brothers, the second brother has the highest talent. He has already cultivated to the fourth bird realm. The third and fourth brothers and I are all in the third bird realm."

Fang Zhixing understood and asked curiously, "What kind of skills do you practice?"

Wei Zhifeng said: "My family's martial arts in Wei's Villa are the 'Wei's Nine-Section Whip', a spiritual ape technique."

Fang Zhixing took a closer look, but did not see that the four of them were carrying any weapons.

Perhaps to show respect, they did not carry weapons when they came to see Fang Zhixing.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing nodded and smiled: "You four brothers have come to my place. You only need to complete some tasks and you will receive generous treatment. You can choose meat pills, skills and money."

The four Wei brothers bowed their heads and said, "We are willing to serve the master at his best."

"Well, you guys go down first."

Fang Zhixing waved his hand, and Hongye immediately took the four Wei brothers out of the study.

Afterwards, Fang Zhixing had dinner and took a bath.

Night fell quickly and the sky darkened.

Fang Zhixing lay on the bed, relaxed his whole body, and enjoyed Hongye's massage service.

After a while, they were fitted together perfectly.

Flutter flutter ~ Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew into the courtyard.

The sound of flapping wings reached Fang Zhixing's ears.

Hongye was startled at first, then asked in surprise: "Another mission?"

Fang Zhixing had no choice but to pull out the radish first, then get up and go downstairs.

Sure enough, there was a carrier pigeon perched on the window, cooing.

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and found that there was a roll of paper tied to each of the pigeon's legs.

Wow! Two missions at once.

Fang Zhixing quickly took down the roll of paper and spread it out.

"Before midnight tonight, arrive at the ferry sixty miles west of the city and ambush a merchant ship flying a Union Jack flag. Kill everyone on board and burn the merchant ship."

"Before dawn, rush to the pavilion hill, 150 miles west of the city, and attack Miao Lian Fang's young master Miao Qiutao. You can injure or kill him."

Fang Zhixing put down the two rolls of paper and his brows knitted into a knot.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that I would have to work overtime at night again."

Fang Zhixing's face couldn't help but darken, and he felt unhappy.

At this moment, many bad memories from my past life came to my mind uncontrollably.

The dog yawned and asked speechlessly, "What's going on now? Why are there so many instructions all of a sudden? And why are all of them time-sensitive and demanding? Do you have to work overtime to complete them?"

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "These instructions are most likely all closely related to the Qinghe Martial Arts Association."

Xigou was puzzled and smacked his lips, "Isn't the Qinghe Martial Arts Competition a grand event in the martial arts world? How did it become like this?"

Fang Zhixing is not clear about the inside story at the moment.

After all, he has not reached that level yet and does not have the corresponding information channels.

At this time, Hongye put on her clothes and came downstairs.

Fang Zhixing ordered: "Go wake up the four Wei brothers. They came at the right time. There is an urgent mission tonight."

Hongye understood and hurried to call for help.

Soon, Fang Zhixing, Wei Zhifeng and three others packed up their weapons, left Yixiangzhai through the secret passage, rode on horseback at night, and headed straight for the west of the city.

They hurried all the way and finally reached the 60-mile section before the hour of Hai.

Fang Zhixing looked around and soon found a ferry on the bank of the Qingshui River.

It was just a small ferry, and it seemed to have been abandoned long ago.

There was no boat at the ferry, but instead there was a sunken ship slanting in the water.

The cold moonlight is reflected on the surface of the river, making it sparkle and tranquil.

Fang Zhixing turned his head to look at the four Wei brothers and ordered, "Let's find a secluded place to hide the horses first, then ambush near the ferry, and when the merchant ship arrives, we will attack it immediately. Remember, kill without mercy, and leave no one alive."

"Yes, sir!"

The four Wei brothers responded murderously.

When Fang Zhixing saw this, he vaguely felt that this was not the first time the four of them had done this.

The Dong family has sheltered them for four years, so they would definitely not keep idle people around for nothing.

In other words, they might have been trained as killers by the Dong family a long time ago, and their professional qualities are far higher than Ma Zhengming and Qiao Quanlin.

Time goes by little by little...

In less than half an hour, a merchant ship floated on the Qingshui River with an oil lamp hanging on the bow and mast.

In the swaying dim light, a large Union Jack fluttered in the night wind.

"Master, here we come!"

Wei Zhifeng, who was squatting behind the wormwood, reminded in a low voice.

Fang Zhixing turned his head, opened his blood-red eyes, and observed carefully.

There were four people walking back and forth on the deck, with swords on their waists and walking like dragons and tigers. It was obvious at a glance that they were all martial artists, and they seemed to be on patrol.

When Fang Zhixing saw this, he said nothing but just made a gesture.

Immediately, the four Wei brothers bent their bodies and approached quietly.

Almost at the moment the merchant ship docked at the ferry.

"superior!"

At the command, the four Wei brothers leaped onto the deck.

Whoosh~ Four long nine-section whips were swung out at this moment.

The nine-section whip is composed of a whip handle, a whip head and eight middle sections. Each section is connected by three rings. It is a kind of soft weapon.

Although it is a soft weapon, its attack is extremely fierce, sharp and unstoppable.

The four Wei brothers held the nine-section whip in their hands and wielded it as if with telepathy, performing the "White Snake Spits Out Its Tongue" move at the same time.

The four patrollers on the deck were caught off guard and had their necks entangled by the nine-section whip.

They suddenly felt suffocated, and when they reacted, their necks were strangled so tightly that they couldn't even utter a sound.

The four Wei brothers were ruthless. They mobilized all their muscles and exerted their strength. In a moment, they strangled the four people to death.

"These four people are in the Great Python Realm..."

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly. This merchant ship was not simple. The patrol personnel alone had the strength of a great python.

He did not board the ship rashly. Instead, he occupied a high point with a bow and arrow in his hand, then waved his hand to signal the four Wei brothers to continue the attack.

The four Wei brothers immediately rushed into the cabin.

The next moment, the sounds of fierce fighting and shouting rang out, disturbing the tranquil night and the vast river.

Bang! The deck suddenly exploded!

A burly figure broke through the deck, jumped out from the bottom, and landed on the deck.

But soon after, the second brother Wei Zhihuo also jumped out and entangled the burly figure tightly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Whoosh, whoosh! Wei Zhihuo was seen dancing the nine-section whip quickly, with one step and one movement, one flower, and one flower changing three times.

The whip flowers are crisscrossed and unpredictable, giving people a feeling of dizziness and endless changes.

The burly figure jumped back a few steps, grabbed a bamboo pole to use as a stick, and suddenly performed a majestic stick technique.

Ding ding ding~ The bamboo pole swept left and right, knocking the nine-section whip away again and again.

Wei Zhihuo's eyes turned cold, and he changed his moves and unleashed a killer move called "Golden Silk Wrapped Gourd".

In an instant, the nine-section whip rotated at high speed, swung like a wheel, and danced like a steel stick. The attack became fierce and violent, and varied.

Bang, bang, bang! The burly figure retreated again and again, and the bamboo pole in his hand was broken into pieces, unable to continue.

He rolled over on the ground, suddenly reached out and grabbed a fishing net and threw it into the sky.

The fishing net spread out suddenly, covering everything.

Wei Zhihuo was unable to retreat in time and was covered by the fishing net.

The burly figure was overjoyed. He shook his body, grabbed a bamboo pole, and swept it close to the ground.

"Sweeping Dragon!"

The bamboo pole hit Wei Zhihuo's heel.

Wei Zhihuo rolled over and fell to the ground, but at the same time he roared and tore the fishing net.

Just as he fell to the ground, the nine-section whip flew out like a poisonous snake and wrapped around the bamboo pole.

A shake! Snap! Snap! The bamboo pole broke into pieces!

The burly figure snorted coldly, tiptoed, and jumped onto the side of the boat.

At this moment, a young man of medium stature ran out, carrying an iron rod, and shouted, "Master!"

The burly figure was overjoyed. He rushed towards the young man and reached out to grab the iron rod.

How could Wei Zhihuo do as he wished? He rushed out wildly, and stabbed out with the nine-section whip.

Puff! The nine-section whip pierced into the young man's chest and passed through.

Wei Zhihuo then shook the nine-section whip, which suddenly became soft and hit the iron rod.

With a sharp sound, the iron rod flew out at an angle and fell onto the river.

"Hey!"

The burly figure roared in anger, somersaulted in the air and jumped towards the river surface, grabbed the end of the iron rod, then stepped on the river surface with both feet, somersaulted again and jumped back onto the deck.

"How dare you kill my disciple..."

The burly figure held the iron rod in both hands, and his whole body suddenly became more ferocious.

"Humph, so what if I kill him?"

Wei Zhihuo was not afraid. He swung the nine-section whip under his feet and pushed his feet forward. The whip suddenly accelerated and stabbed straight into the face of the burly figure.

The burly figure dodged and swung the iron rod forward.

When ~ the sparks from the collision of metal illuminated the deck.

The two men attacked each other frantically. It seemed like a close combat, but in fact they were always two or three meters apart, using long weapons to carry out various attacks and defenses.

During the fight, two people suddenly escaped from the cabin. They were terrified and ran all the way to the side of the ship and jumped down without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhifeng chased out.

"Where to escape?"

He shouted loudly, rushed over to chase them, swung the nine-section whip to entangle one of them, pulled him back, and stomped on his head.

But the other man turned over and jumped down.

At this moment, whoosh!

A cold arrow flew towards him, penetrated the back of his neck, and came out from his Adam's apple.

The next second, the man fell into the river like a kite with a broken string.

Wei Zhifeng's eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look somewhere.

But then he noticed that his second brother was fighting fiercely with the burly figure and he only had a slight advantage.

"Second brother, let me help you!"

Wei Zhifeng joined the battle wielding a nine-section whip.

The burly figure was suddenly under great pressure and accidentally revealed a flaw.

The nine-section whip suddenly came and stabbed his shoulder.

Bang! Accompanied by a dull sound!

The burly figure took a few steps back and a blood spot appeared on his shoulder.

If he hadn't strengthened his defense, he would have died here.

At this time, the third and fourth brothers also ran out of the cabin and shouted, "Everyone is done, only he is left."

The pupils of the burly figure trembled, and his eyes swept over the four Wei brothers. His breathing stagnated, and he asked in surprise: "You played the nine-section whip very beautifully. Could it be that the four of you are the remnants of the Wei Villa?"

Wei Zhihuo was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "The stick technique you used is the 'Mo Family Iron Wind Eight Diagrams Stick', right? Who is Mo Yingde to you?"

The burly figure replied, "Mo Yingde is my second uncle, and I am Mo Qinglong."

“No wonder!”

Wei Zhihuo suddenly realized and nodded, "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Mo Qinglong asked, "I am currently serving under the command of Lord Neitai. I wonder how I have offended you four?"

The four Wei brothers looked at each other and said in a deep voice, "We have no grudges against each other. We just serve different masters. Brother Mo, I'm sorry. Don't make the wrong choice in your next life."

Mo Qinglong sucked in a breath of cold air and grinned, "Although I can't beat the four of you, I can still kill one or two of you as scapegoats!"

He rushed forward swinging the iron rod, with an aggressive momentum, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

Upon seeing this, the four Wei brothers retreated at the same time, creating some space, intending to surround and fight with him, and they would tire Mo Qinglong to death.

Who would have thought! Mo Qinglong suddenly fell down and got into the hole on the deck.

"The four of you, see you later!"

Mo Qinglong sneered, and his laughter slowly spread under the deck, becoming particularly hollow.

"Chase!"

Wei Zhihuo was very anxious and quickly jumped into the hole.

"careful!"

The boss Wei Zhifeng reminded urgently.

The next second , an iron rod came stabbing towards Wei Zhihuo's chest.

Wei Zhihuo was still jumping and descending when suddenly his scalp felt numb. He quickly pulled the nine-section whip to block in front of him.

Bang! The iron rod was so powerful that it hit Wei Zhihuo's chest and knocked him flying backwards.

“Hahaha~”

Mo Qinglong laughed triumphantly, then ran to the rear cabin, broke the hull with a stick, and jumped into the river.
