Chapter 3 Troubled times are coming

…

Except for Niu Meng and Fang Geng, no other member of the Fang Youchang family could rush to the gate of Qiyuan alive.

Seeing this, Li Cun continued to guard the gate of Qiyuan with Zhang Shi while asking Zhang Shi about the ins and outs of today's events.

——Li Cun didn’t know that Fang La had any intention of revolt in advance, and he only thought that he was accompanying Zhang Shilai to save a friend. To be honest, if he had known that things would develop like this, Li Cun, who originally wanted to live a stable life, would definitely not get involved.

this matter.

Now that Li Cun had committed murder and handed over the surrender certificate, Zhang Shi would certainly not hide it from Li Cun anymore, so he truthfully told Li Cun the whole story of today's Fang La Uprising.

turn out to be--

Although Fang La was just a servant in Fang Youchang's family, he had a forthright nature and liked to make friends, and there were many talented people in the family, so he already had a certain status in the world.

One day a few months ago, Fang La went to the river to fetch water. I don't know if he was hallucinating or something, but he saw his reflection in the water wearing a dragon robe.

After that, Fang La met with people and boasted about it.

This makes people feel that Fang La is extraordinary, and they are more willing to make friends with Fang La. Even Wang Gong Lao Buddha, the leader of Manichaeism, values ​​Fang La very much and often invites Fang La to listen to his sermons.

Fang La idled around all day and didn't pay attention to work. He only made friends with rogues and even interacted with Manichaeism, a secret organization that was designated as a demon sect by the court. The key point was that Fang La always said that he was destined to wear a dragon robe and maybe become an emperor.

This made Fang Youchang very worried.

So Fang Youchang asked his third son Fang Geng to lock Fang La in his family's granary, and sent his second son Fang Xiong to report to Chen Guang, the magistrate of Qingxi County.

The actions of Fang Youchang's family were quickly learned by Fang Fei, the patriarch of Fang La's clan.

Once Fang La's charges were proven, the Fang family would most likely be confiscated and the whole family would end badly. So Fang Fei gathered hundreds of people in the name of rescuing Fang La and rescued Fang La.

When Fang Youchang saw that the situation was not good, his family fled to his lacquer garden.

After Fang La was rescued, he hated Fang Youchang's family for not caring about their distant relatives and wanted to kill him. He also wanted to harm their own family. He thought that he could not leave a source of trouble, so after finding out the whereabouts of Fang Youchang's family, he made an immediate decision.

, beguiling the people who came to save him, seeking revenge on Fang Youchang's family and avoiding future troubles forever.

After introducing the story of the uprising to Li Cun, Zhang Shi came to Fang Geng's body, holding the hatchet in his hand and gesturing at Fang Geng's neck.

Zhang Shi gestured for a long time, but saw no intention from Li Cun to come over and help him, so he gritted his teeth, raised the hatchet in his hand high, and chopped it with his eyes closed.

After a "pop" sound, Fang Geng's head rolled out.

Zhang Shi opened his eyes and saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright.

But Zhang Shi still moved step by step to Fang Geng's head, then bent down and grabbed Fang Geng's head with trembling hands and pinned it to his waist.

After doing all this, Zhang Shi looked at Li Cun and said to Li Cun in a dry and excited voice: "Brother Zihou, today is the day when you and I will become famous!"

Not far away, Fang Baihua, Shao and other girls, after hearing Zhang Shi's words, they all sneered: "This man was obviously killed by Li Cun, what does it have to do with you Zhang Shi? You are so shameless!"

Some women even said it directly without any hesitation.

But Zhang Shi turned a deaf ear and continued to think passionately about the future with Li Cunchang.

About half an hour later, Fang Hao, who was covered in blood, ran out with more than a dozen people, and said to Shao: "Mom, we have killed all the members of the Fang Youchang family. Daddy."

We go back to the village and ask people to come over and watch, and you guys should go in too."

In fact, most of the young people in Qixian Village are already in this lacquer garden.

——The reason why Fang Youchang's family fled to Qiyuan was because they wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were more than a thousand workers, apprentices and servants, as well as dozens of servants and villagers in Qiyuan, so that Fang La and his relatives and friends could be fooled.

I dare not come to Qiyuan to cause trouble for their family.

But Fang Youchang's family never expected that Fang La would decide and they would kill Fang Youchang's family. Not only would the workers and servants of Fang Youchang's family not help the unkind Fang Youchang family, they might even take the opportunity to take revenge and kill people together.

.

The results proved that Fang La was right.

Seeing that Fang La and his relatives and friends wanted to kill Fang Youchang's family, many workers and servants followed Fang La and others to kill without saying a word.

Because there were so many people who wanted to kill Fang Youchang's family, even the bankers and servants of Fang Youchang's family did not dare to step forward to stop them.

This resulted in Fang Youchang's family of forty-two being quickly slaughtered.

Fang Geng, the only one who escaped, was killed by Li Cun.

However, Fang La's goal is not only to incite more than a thousand people to revolt. It is impossible for all of these more than a thousand people to follow Fang La in the uprising, so it is still necessary to summon all the villagers of Qixian Village.

After Fang Hao took the people away, Li Cun and others also entered the lacquer garden.

People they met on the road saw Li Cun with a blood-stained face and a long sword with a cold light stuck in his waist. Zhang Shi had a human head stuck in his waist behind him, and the famous Niu Meng was behind him on the right.

Everyone subconsciously made way for Li Cun.

Of course, there are also those who are familiar with Zhang Shi and ask Zhang Shi: "Zhang Er, whose head is that on your waist?"

Zhang Shiyu Yourong Yan replied: "Fang Geng was killed by my brother Xuzhou Li Cun."

Fang Geng was born tall. In his early years, he aspired to be an official, so he threw a hoe on the ground and learned martial arts from others. Later, he sold a few cows at home and bought a sword. He wandered around with the sword on his waist all day long, becoming a tyrant in the neighborhood.

.

After learning that Li Cun had killed Fang Geng, many people immediately felt awe of Li Cun.

Zhang Shi pointed at Niu Meng again: "He was also captured alive by my brother."

Niu Meng was born with supernatural powers and could knock down a bull with his bare hands at the age of sixteen. Moreover, he had studied martial arts, and his martial arts skills were still superior to Fang Geng's. Later, he was hired by Fang Youchang to be a gun and stick instructor, which was the highest level of external force of the Fang Youchang family.

Shock.

Seeing that Li Cun was able to capture even Niu Meng alive, but Niu Meng looked like he was letting Li Cun suffer, the people around him were even more in awe of Li Cun.

But Zhang Shiyou thought it was not enough, so he continued to help Li Cun by saying: "My brother can fight tigers in the mountains and capture dragons in the sea. The overlord of Western Chu is no more than that..."

Zhang Shi was very eloquent. Li Cun defeated Niu Meng and killed Fang Geng when they met. Zhang Shi said that it was like Li Cunxiao bravely breaking through the formation of eight horses and nine oxen on the bank of the Yellow River and killing four generals.

, shocking the Qi military camp.

Zhang Shi also said that Li Cun was very knowledgeable. He had been to Annam, Champa, Khmer, India, Dashi and many other countries. He was proficient in the languages ​​​​and characters of various countries, and he was familiar with the geography of the world. He was not only strong in martial arts, but also good in both civil and military affairs.

Under Zhang Shihui's lively praise, Li Cun's name and his "deeds" spread like wildfire...

Not long after, Li Cun and others came to the middle of Qiyuan, and then Li Cun's heart was tugged!

——A high platform in the distance was actually filled with heads, including those of men, women, old people, and children. At a quick glance, there were no fewer than forty or fifty heads. If you looked carefully, they all still had death expressions on their faces.

The terrifying and ferocious expression in front of me!

This made Li Cun, who already had a human life on his hands, couldn't help but think: "People are like ants, and their lives are like grass. This is a sign that troubled times are coming!"
