Chapter 64 Kill

In a blink of an eye, the time has entered October, and the weather has gradually cooled down. However, in the fifth floor of Fanlou, the most elegant restaurant in Daliang City, it is still as warm as spring, especially after drinking fine wine, which makes people feel more comfortable without knowing that autumn is late and winter is coming.

Today, a large group of young people are drinking on the most noble floor of Fanlou. Their clothes are not too luxurious, but their hands and feet always show nobility that ordinary people do not have. And among these people, the only one who does not have such temperament is Xu Jinghong.

There are five floors in Fanlou. As long as you can afford the money, you can go up regardless of your identity, but the last four or five floors can't be used by anyone. Previously, Xu Jinghong still relied on the face of Zhao cong, the king of Jing, to have a banquet on the fourth floor. This time, he can come to the fifth floor, of course, because of the identity of these young people who drank with him.

Among these young people, there are royal children such as King Zhao cong. Although the emperor's power is low, not a few businessmen dare to plead guilty. In addition, it is the children of some powerful families. Their ancestors made great achievements in the founding of the Song Dynasty and were awarded the title of hereditary princes. It was only because of the great power of those literary ministers and families that their families were gradually excluded from the decision-making level of the imperial court. However, there are still many forces in these families, so ordinary people do not dare to offend them in the capital.

Because of these two people, coupled with Xu Jinghong's recent reputation in Daliang City, the fifth floor of Fanlou, which has always been prepared for the families, was wrapped up by their group.

At this time, with a glass of wine, Xu Jinghong came to respect a 15- or 16-year-old teenager. He was the only son Xiao Hai of the quiet Hou family in the middle: "Brother Xu, I have never really admired anyone, but you are the first one. So I have to toast you!" As soon as he raised his neck, he dried a glass of wine.

Xu Jinghong was not humble and said that he didn't dare to do anything like that. Instead, he quickly picked up the glass and drank it, and then said, "Thank you, little marquis, for looking up to me as a rough man."

"Xiao Xiao, I don't know what you admire about Brother Xu?" At this time, one was already blessed and looked 30 years old. In fact, a fat man of 17 or 18 came over with a smile and asked.

"Brother Meng, didn't you ask knowingly?" Xiao Hai smiled and said, "The barbarians in the southwest, we have never heard of anyone who can win in their harsh environment before. But Brother Xu took his brothers to take down the black cliff, which was difficult to reach the sky. This alone is enough to make us generals ashamed later. Think about the ancestors of us, which one is not rich and noble on the head of the knife, but in the hands of us unworthy descendants, it has become like this!"

As soon as this came out, the faces of the people present who were smiling and obedient were a little embarrassed. What Xiao Hai said was the truth. Each of them listened to what their father said when they were young. They were all about how their ancestors fought bravely and fought down the Song Dynasty. But what they saw after they became adults was that they were powerful ministers, and their fathers and uncles had no real power at all, which naturally made them have a great psychological gap and made them always be worried.

At this time, when the topic was a little cold, Zhao Cong came to round up: "It's no wonder that we don't work hard. It's also because the situation inside and outside the Song Dynasty is still stable, so we don't have a chance to rise. I believe that with your ability, if you really go to the battlefield, even if there is no repeated achievements like Brother Xu, you will not humiliate your ancestors.

"That's natural." These guys who had never been to the battlefield immediately took this statement seriously.

Xu Jinghong just smiled at this, and then looked out of the window, calculating that the time should be almost time. Today, he asked Zhao cong to invite these powerful children to drink in Fanlou. In addition to making some future contacts before leaving the capital, he also hid another intention.

"However, the one we admire most is not here." Xiao Hai smiled and said, "What he did a few days ago is really pleasant. The Fang family, one of the seven families in power in the court, has a lot of old officials all over the world. Isn't it because Brother Xu's action this time collapsed? I heard that they have left the capital today, and they must still be drinking on the official road, right?

"The seven masters are really bullying people too much. If we really make credit, when our ancestors opened the territory for the Song Dynasty, their ancestors were still nothing. If it hadn't been for the change 50 years ago, would these seven families have been able to control my government in the Song Dynasty? Because of some wine, as soon as the wine came up, these young people who didn't know much about the importance became more unscrupulous.

"It turned out that it was only seven people, how amazing and how terrible it was. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Brother Xu is just a move to drive the Fang family out of the court. In this way, the good days of the other six families will not be too far away.

When these people boasted and imagined the future, Xu Jinghong and Zhao Cong avoided and whispered: "Your Highness, can the people below prove this?"

"Of course. The brothers who accompany you also have official bodies in the court. Although they are not bad, they also have their own power. So as long as they and we will prove this for you, there will naturally be no problem. Even if someone doubts this, they can only secretly doubt it under such circumstances.

"It's so good that I guess it's about to do it over there." Xu Jinghong said, and there was a murderous spirit in his eyes.

In the official post 20 miles away from Daliang, more than 100 members of the Fang family did not drink as the gentlemen said, but lived in a spacious room. They set out from the capital at noon, drove 20 miles in one afternoon, and lived in the post station before sunset.

Fang Yuanshan called some confidants and more than 20 loyal guards to his room and ordered them to do things. After watching everyone arrive, he said solemnly, "From today on, we should be cautious all the way to Huizhou. You can't go until dawn, and you must drop the stack before sunset. There is an official post station, which must be thrown into the post station. Do you remember it?

"Yes!" Everyone quickly agreed, but someone still said puzzled, "Sir, the court no longer accounts for the past. Why are you still so careful? At least our family is a famous family. There must be a look along the way, right?

"Well, at this time, is there any face of our family?" Fang Yuanshan said coldly, "We have lost our power, but our wealth is so rich. Will no one think about us?"

"Well, Dad, we are an official road, and there is no remote place along the way. How can there be any problem?" Fang Jingding didn't think so.

"Do you think I'm worried about those strong people who cut the path? Wrong, we need to beware of the people who have a holiday with us in the court. Over the years, there have been many people our family has dealt with. Many of them have lost this power, but some of them still have the ability to give us halfway. These people hate us to the bone. Do you think they will let us go back so easily?

"This..." Fang Jingding and other people who were not very wary of the road were nervous when they heard this.

"Also, in fact, what I'm afraid of is not that these people will be unfavorable to us, but that some people don't plan to do this." Speaking of this, Fang Yuanshan's mind flashed the appearance of Xu Jinghong's harsh words after the morning meeting. Judging from the murderous look of the other party, it is not his ultimate goal to drive the Fang family out of the court.

"Is that Xu Jinghong the father said?" As soon as Fang Jing'an said this, it immediately attracted the angry eyes of others: "The child thought he didn't have the courage, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack us again so soon. Now, his conflict with our family has been completely publicized. If something really happens to us on the way back home, he will never get rid of it.

"That's right, but this person's style of acting is really different from ordinary people. At the beginning, we folded it in his hands precisely because we didn't expect him to arrest and torture Cao and others so uncongruly." Fang Yuanshan said with lingering lingeringly, "So we must beware of him acting like this again."

Only then did everyone understand the importance of it, especially those guards decided to increase their vigilance at all times along the way. Even in the post station, they should be protected in batches so as not to let people take advantage of it.

After saying so much, and because of the rush for a day, Fang Yuanshan finally said to them tiredly, "It's getting late. You all go to rest. You have to go early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, don't worry, we will take good care of everyone." The head of the guard, Long, vowed.

After these young masters and the servants who served them rested separately, Fang Long called his more than 20 brothers to one place: "It's harder for everyone to ensure their safety. So Fang Hu, you take ten brothers to guard in the first half of the night, and I take others to guard in the second half of the night, so that you can be foolproof.

Fang Hu - a man who looked very solid and gave people a sense of stability nodded and agreed, and then nodded a few people and came to the front yard of the post station with weapons to guard it.

The soldiers in the post are really confused when they see them facing a big enemy. However, they still know the name of the Fang family. Although they have lost their power now, they are not the ones like them who dare to provoke. They have to turn a blind eye to their behavior and let him go.

Soon, the third update had passed, and Fang Long's group of people stood at all the critical places, and even people stared at the corners and roofs. Unfortunately, because of the Fang family's loss of power, some of the original courtyards have fallen and dispersed, otherwise the defense could have been more thorough. But just like this, it's not easy for any assassin to sneak in.

However, when it is not a sneaky assassin, but a real attacking killer, their defense may not play a role. At three or two o'clock, squatting on the roof, the guard with the best sight shouted in a low voice, "Brother Long, some dark shadows are coming towards us."

"What? Be careful, everyone!" Fang Long immediately took out the steel knife around his waist and put on a posture. In the middle of the night, the sudden appearance of unidentified people was indeed shocking. Of course, this may also be a passing official who came to stay at the post station, but it is not wrong to be careful.

But the comer was not the sleeper they wanted to see, because when the dozen figures came to the closed gate of the post station, they did not knock on the door, but directly jumped over the front door that was not too high, and then went straight to the front house. At this time, Fang Long and others had clearly seen the costumes of these people, all of whom were dressed in black.

"There are assassins!" Fang Long immediately shouted a warning, and then took people back to the wing where Fang Yuanshan was located. On the other side, Fang Hu and others, who had just fallen asleep, also immediately came out. They tacitly blocked the way of those people in black.

In terms of martial arts, Fang Hu is actually higher than Fang Long, but Fang Long is slightly better in terms of qualifications and ability, so when facing the enemy, Fang Hu generally responds, and Fang Long is the most critical place.

But this time, their defense line, which has always had no flaws, can't make much difference. In addition to Fang Hu, a kendo master with 20 years of cultivation, who can also draw with the incoming enemy, other guards have been stabbed by more than a dozen people in black in just a few breaths.

These black assassins, who are tall, short, fat and thin, have the same characteristics, that is, they are extremely good at martial arts and more proficient in killing. Just two or three moves, they can find out each other's flaws and kill them with one blow. In the eyes of these people, the elite guards that the Fang family has been raising are simply unstoppable.

The muffled hum, and the screams also shocked the soldiers in front of them. But after seeing these murderous assassins, they didn't even have the courage to come up. They are just servants of the post station, but there is no need to work for the men who live here, so after the probe saw the killing here, they hid back to the room and hid under the bed and trembled.

At this time, Fang Long already knew that something was wrong. Although Fang Hu could still support it for a while, he could never stop everyone. So he made a hash decision and said to the people around him, "You can support me, and I'll take the master out." It's so dark now that as long as Fang Yuanshan can be taken away from the sight of these assassins, he may be able to save his life.

Those guards are absolutely loyal to the other party, otherwise they will not follow. So even if they knew that nine out of ten of them were going to die now, they did not hesitate to rush forward with weapons, blocking the way of the people in black who had killed all the first guards.

The man in black still didn't say any nonsense and attacked when he saw people in the way. When I saw it just now, Fang Long's group of people didn't feel much. Now once they really do it, they know that these assassins are terrible and can kill them every time. However, after a cup of tea, these guards have also died on the spot one by one.

At this time, the assassin in black faced by Fang Hu said, "Tiger, you take people to kill everyone here, snakes, you and dogs to find the target. Give this man to me!" At this man's point, the two steel thorns in his hand were a little faster, killing the already powerless Fang Hu retreating and almost couldn't stand it.

More than a dozen assassins immediately split up. The two followed Fang Long's direction, and the others rushed into other rooms. After a while, a sad scream kept coming out of the room.

Fang Hu, who was fighting with people, was even more anxious when he heard these screams. He wanted to stop these cold-blooded killers from killing the Fang family. But on the contrary, it harmed himself. There was a line of difference with his opponent. As soon as the spirit dispersed, the flaw quickly appeared and was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the opponent's move.

Fang Hu let out a roar, holding the steel thorn that pierced his body with one hand, and the knife in his hand cut it fiercely, completely in the posture of the same end. But this move did not work, because the opponent still had a steel thorn in his hand, which broke the knife he cut out with all his strength. On the contrary, Fang Hu revealed a bigger flaw and was penetrated by him in the throat with a steel thorn.

"Wow..." Fang Hu wanted to shout again, but he could only make this strange sound, and then he opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground unwillingly. At this time, the killers who entered the house have killed all the Fang family owners who stayed here.

In the small bushes not far from the post station, Fang Yuanshan and Fang Long hid awkwardly in the dark, and even dared not breathe in the atmosphere. Because not far from them, two shadows are searching for their location.

Suddenly, one of them raised his head and sniffed hard in the air, and then rushed to the hiding place of Fangyuan Mountain. Seeing this, Fang Long quickly drew a knife to meet him, just in a battle with this assassin with a short knife. But in this way, another slender assassin has come to Fang Yuanshan.

"You...Who the hell are you? But if so, I'm willing to pay ten times the price, as long as you don't kill me..." Fang Yuanshan is still struggling in the end.

But the man just let out a cold laugh, and then a whip had wrapped around Fang Yuanshan's neck. With a sound, Fang Yuanshan's body was pulled up. When it landed, the big man in the court was out of breath.

At the same time, Fang Long over there has also been forced into the Jedi by the short knife. When he wanted to escape, the long whip suddenly appeared and entangled his feet, and then he died next to Fangyuan Mountain.
