Chapter 221: Rebels

Fang Zhixing walked slowly towards the strange town alone and looked up at the tall gate tower.

A rectangular plaque spans the road, with three powerful characters written in a flamboyant style: Heishi Town.

A flag was hung above the gate tower, with six eye-catching words in white on a black background: Destroy the clan and conquer the world.

These six words are extremely visually impactful!

Fang Zhixing's mind moved, and he immediately guessed that the Black Stone Town in front of him might have been captured by the rebels.

He walked into the town without stopping.

Walking on the street, there are few pedestrians.

Fang Zhixing occasionally met a few passers-by, who also lowered their heads, looked hurried, and did not even greet each other.

He walked halfway down the street and didn't see two people standing on the street chatting.

Many flags were hung all over the streets, with various rebel slogans written on them:

“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.”

"One person's rebellion can lift up the whole family."

"Eliminate the lowly class and make everyone equal."

And so on.

Fang Zhixing looked around and found that every household had their doors closed and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Teahouses, taverns, and inns all hung up signs saying they were closed.

A desolate scene! "Hey, stop..."

Suddenly, four people turned out from an alley. They were wearing patched gray linen clothes, orange headscarves, and holding sticks.

At first glance, it looks like a group of beggars traveling.

"Traitor..."

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and was impressed by the orange headscarves on their heads.

Four rebels came out and suddenly stopped a woman carrying a basket.

"Oh my!" The woman looked terrified, turned around and ran away.

But she was soon caught up by the four men and surrounded by the wall.

"What's in your basket?" one of them asked.

The woman desperately protected the basket and shouted in panic, "There's nothing, there's really nothing."

But a rebel quickly tried to grab the basket. During the struggle, the basket fell to the ground and several sweet potatoes rolled out.

"Yam, where did you get it?"

The four rebels' eyes lit up and they rushed to grab it.

The woman shouted anxiously, "I dug this from the mountain. My husband is dead, and I have a sick mother and two children at home. They are all starving. Please give me back the yam."

One of the rebels said angrily, "You bitch, our rebel army has been fighting with the aristocratic families for you, and we have been starving. Why don't you contribute your food?"

"that is!"

Another rebel argued confidently, scolding: "For the sake of our lofty ideal and great cause of destroying the powerful families and conquering the world, what's the harm in starving for a few days?"

The woman cried out, "I can go hungry, but my two children cannot. Please leave me some sweet potatoes, even one piece will do!"

"fart!"

The rebel stuffed the sweet potato into his arms, pushed away the woman who was pestering him, and shouted, "How can we fight against the aristocratic families if we don't have enough to eat? We fight to the death for you, so what does it matter if you go hungry for a few more days!"

The four rebels walked away, leaving the woman sitting on the ground, crying loudly.

Fang Zhixing saw it all, but his face showed no expression.

After a while, he walked over, helped the woman up, took out some large sum of money from his arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

“Ah, this!”

The woman was overjoyed, wiped away her tears, and asked in surprise: "Hero, what are you doing?"

Fang Zhixing said, "I'm from out of town, and I just got here. Sister, when was Black Stone Town captured by the rebels?"

"Shh, don't say rebels, say rebels."

The woman lowered her voice and said carefully, "The rebels have been here for almost half a month. After they killed the village head's family, they took over Black Stone Town."

Fang Zhixing understood and asked, "Who is the leader of the rebel army here?"

The woman continued, “I heard that the man’s name is Yue Pingjiang, and his nickname is ‘A Hundred Rivers Do Not Flow’.

I heard that he killed many, many people, and he particularly liked to chop off heads. The heads he chopped off were piled up like a mountain, enough to block the flow of hundreds of rivers. "

A hundred rivers do not flow! Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is his strength?"

The woman replied, "The very powerful kind."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but laugh. The woman didn't understand the realm of martial arts, so it was useless to ask.

As they were talking, a group of rebels wearing orange turbans came walking down the street.

They were searching house to house with a portrait in hand.

Seeing this, the woman whispered, "The rebels are hunting down Miss Wang."

Fang Zhixing asked, "What Miss Wang?"

The woman explained carefully, "The Wang family is a wealthy family in Black Rock Town, with a large population and enormous wealth. After the rebels arrived in Black Rock Town, they not only plundered the Wang family's property, but also occupied the Wang Mansion. Most of the Wang family members were captured and beheaded, and only one young lady from the Wang family escaped."

Fang Zhixing immediately became interested and asked curiously, "It's just a young lady who ran away, why are the rebels still trying so hard to hunt her down?"

The woman continued, "I heard that when Miss Wang escaped, she took a painting with her. That painting might be very valuable, and the rebels want to get it back."

As they were talking, the group of rebels were getting closer and closer.

The woman didn't dare to say anything more and said in panic, "I'll leave first. If they find out that I have money on me, they will rob me again."

Fang Zhixing nodded and let the woman run away.

Not only her, but pedestrians on the street also rushed to stay away.

In a blink of an eye, the street was empty, with only Fang Zhixing as the only passerby left.

The group of rebels immediately noticed Fang Zhixing and rushed over.

A bearded man looked Fang Zhixing up and down and saw that he was tall and strong, wearing a black suit, with a broadsword wrapped in black cloth on his back, and a longbow and quiver tied around his waist.

It is obvious that this set of armor is not something that ordinary people can possess.

"Hey, the Ebony Bow!"

The bearded man had a keen eye and recognized that the bow on Fang Zhixing's body was not an ordinary item and was very valuable. A hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

However, Fang Zhixing seemed to be difficult to deal with, which made him feel suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he bravely shouted, "Stop, who are you?"

Fang Zhixing remained calm and replied, "I am a passerby who passed by your precious place and wanted to buy a map."

This was indeed Fang Zhixing's purpose, as he did not have a map of Xiahe County.

But all the shops in the town were closed.

The bearded man laughed and said, "This place has been taken over by the rebels. The map is military controlled material and buying and selling is prohibited.

Also, in order to support the rebels in their fight against the tyranny of the aristocratic families, the commander-in-chief has already issued an order to confiscate all weapons from the people."

He pointed at Fang Zhixing's broadsword and bow and arrow and ordered, "You, hand over your weapons immediately."

Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly: "You are so arrogant, even the aristocratic families are not as domineering as you."

The bearded man glared and said, "Do you want to disobey orders?"

Fang Zhixing suddenly reached out, grabbed the bearded man's neck and lifted him up.

“Woo woo woo~”

The bearded man lifted his feet off the ground and kicked wildly in the air.

Seeing this, the rebels were horrified and raised their sticks, shouting, "What are you doing? Let go!"

After a while, the bearded man's eyes rolled back and his face turned blue and purple.

Fang Zhixing asked, "Do you have a map?"

"Wow!" The bearded man let out an ambiguous groan.

Fang Zhixing let go of his hand.

The bearded man fell on his butt, coughed a few times, and gasped for breath.

"Give me the map." Fang Zhixing stretched out his hand.

The bearded man immediately reached into his bosom, fumbled around for a few times, and pulled out a palm-sized piece of animal skin.

Fang Zhixing took it and looked at it carefully. Although the animal skin was small, the nine counties of Xiahe County and some important mountains and rivers were clearly depicted.

"Well, it's barely usable."

Fang Zhixing put away the map, turned around and left.

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

The bearded man watched them go, his expression gradually becoming gloomy and ferocious, gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, he tilted his head to look at the others, and angrily said, "Fuck you, what are you still standing there for? Go inform the commander-in-chief and quickly catch that bastard..."

Suddenly, the bearded man saw that everyone else had their eyes wide open, looking straight ahead with faces full of surprise and horror.

He paused for a moment, turned his head stiffly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Fang Zhixing, who had clearly walked far away, unexpectedly appeared in front of him again like a ghost.

"Gurgle~"

The bearded man's Adam's apple moved, which made people feel creepy.

Fang Zhixing smiled coldly and said, "You are such a wretch, and you still want to take revenge on me? You are courting death!"

He raised his big hand and slapped the bearded man on the chest.

Bang! The bearded man trembled all over and flew backwards, knocking down a group of his accomplices.

A series of sounds of bones breaking rang out in the world.

Fang Zhixing turned and left without even looking at the result.

Soon, he walked out of Blackrock Town and waved his hand.

The thin dog immediately jumped out from the nearby woods, landed next to Fang Zhixing, and wagged its tail.

"I got the map."

Fang Zhixing spread out the map and transmitted his voice: "Xiahe County is not a good place. It is poor and has bad water. There are only two restricted areas, one level one and one level two. There are very few cultivation resources."

When Xigou heard this, he smacked his lips and said, "We are so poor, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Keep moving forward to a place with abundant resources."

Fang Zhixing drew a line on the map and said thoughtfully, "If we take a boat south from the county town, we should be able to reach Danzhou's capital, 'Danye City'. That is the core area of ​​Danzhou, and I believe martial arts are flourishing there."

Xigou had no objection. For him, it didn't matter where he went.

Suddenly, he thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "How many level 3 meat pills do you have left? Are they enough for me to eat?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then replied, "It can probably last another month."

The little dog felt a little relieved.

Fang Zhixing, this stupid guy, doesn't need to eat meat pills for nourishment, but Xigou does, and he has to eat them every day.

If the dog food is cut off, the growth rate of the puppy will definitely slow down significantly.

Moreover, after the dog food is cut off, the thin dog may have to hunt on its own, which would be really uncomfortable.

A man and a dog walked forward.

As they were walking, they looked at each other and suddenly separated to the left and right.

A moment later, they both simultaneously dashed towards a pile of wormwood, surrounding it from the front and the back.

The wormwood trembled and half of its head was revealed.

Fang Zhixing said indifferently: "Who are you and why are you spying on me?"

A delicate jade hand reached out and lifted the wormwood, revealing a young man wearing a tattered linen shirt and a felt hat, his face covered with dirt and his body dirty.

The young man has a bulging chest, no Adam's apple, and watery eyes, which make him look particularly lively and bright.

You can tell at first glance that this is a woman dressed as a man.

The young woman looked at Fang Zhixing nervously, and replied in a rough voice, "Sir, I have no ill intentions. I just saw you kill a few rebels, and I thought you were very capable, so I followed you and wanted to ask you a favor."

Fang Zhixing said calmly: "Oh, what do you want from me?"

The young woman fell to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes. She said excitedly, "More than a hundred people in my family were killed by the rebels. I beg you to seek justice for me."

When people get excited, they can't control their voices and it turns into a weak female voice.

Fang Zhixing sneered and said disdainfully: "I am not a hero, and I am not interested in doing justice. You have found the wrong person."

He turned and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, hero!"

The young woman refused to give in. She crawled over to her knees and begged, "As long as you help me get revenge, I am willing to give you the heirloom."

Fang Zhixing stopped and glanced at the woman, curiously asking, "What heirloom?"

The young woman was delighted and said seriously, "To be honest, I am Miss Wang Jiayun of the Wang family. My ancestor of the Wang family was a famous martial artist and left behind the family's unique martial arts skill, the Antelope Sword Scripture.

After the rebels came to Heishi Town, they only coveted my family's money at first. Later, their leader Yue Pingjiang heard from somewhere that my Wang family had a sword manual, and forced us to hand it over.

In order to save our lives, my Wang family handed over our unique family skills. However, we never expected that after Yue Pingjiang succeeded, he would suddenly turn against us and kill us.

My parents risked their lives to protect me, and they finally rescued me, but I was the only one who survived."

Speaking of this, Wang Jiayun burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "So, the technique is in Yue Pingjiang's hands? Then what can you offer me?"

Wang Jiayun continued, "I dare not deceive you, my hero. The Antelope Sword Scripture is divided into a technique and a visualization diagram. We were worried that Yue Pingjiang might turn against us, so we kept it to ourselves and gave him the real technique and a fake visualization diagram."

Fang Zhixing suddenly understood. No wonder the woman told him that the rebels were searching for Miss Wang and looking for a picture.

"The real visualization diagram is in your hand?"

Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up, condition 3 just required this thing.

Wang Jiayun replied: "The visualization map is not with me. I was in a hurry to escape at that time and had no time to take the visualization map with me, so the visualization map is still in my palace."

Fang Zhixing understood. No wonder Wang Jiayun had not run away. She must have been waiting for an opportunity to get the heirloom back.

He asked, "Do you know Yue Pingjiang's cultivation?"

Wang Jiayun shook her head and said, "I don't know. My father was in the late stage of the Great Python Realm. I fought with him for more than ten rounds and was beaten to death by him."

Fang Zhixing understood and said excitedly, "Lead the way, we will go to the palace now."

Wang Jiayun was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "But, Yue Pingjiang is staying in my palace..."

Fang Zhixing interrupted, "Just lead the way."

Wang Jiayun took a deep breath, overjoyed, then got up and walked towards the town.

Seeing this, Xigou couldn't help but remind him: "Xiahe County is full of rebels. Once you kill Yue Pingjiang, you will definitely be hunted down by the rebels."

Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't mind having too much debt anyway."

…

…

Book friend 54 is a super god of killing, thanks to the ruthless boss for the generous reward.
