Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 32 Two Months
Chaoshan Lake is a large lake that is hundreds of miles long and wide. Standing by the lake, you can't see the edge of it with your naked eyes. It's like an ocean. This lake also nourishes the residents around it, and countless people make a living on the lake.
This place also gave birth to a great bandit - 'Fuxu', the lord of Chaoshan Lake.
It was already the afternoon of the second day after Fang Chong was killed, in the mansion where Fu Xu was.
"Three tours!"
Fu Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and he was extremely sad. "Last time you came to celebrate my birthday, and we got drunk together as brothers. Who would have thought that would be our last farewell!"
"My Lord, I am sorry."
"Brother! You must take care of yourself. Brother Sanyou certainly doesn't want you to be so sad."
"Millions of people in Chaoshan Lake are counting on you, big brother. You must take care of yourself."
Everyone around tried to comfort him.
At this time, Lao Fu also came with a child.
"Keep bowing quickly." Lao Fu Lian urged.
The child immediately knelt down and said, "Fang Yong kowtows to Uncle Fu."
"Good boy."
Fu Xu's eyes were filled with tears as he nodded and said, "I just received news that your parents have passed away."
The child was confused.
Lao Fu couldn't believe it: "Master, he..."
"The Blood Rain Guards did it, and none of them could escape." Fu Xu was quite sad. "Brother Sanyou didn't want to be humiliated, so he took poison and committed suicide. The Blood Rain Guards didn't spare the rest of the Fang family either. Child, you don't have a father or a mother, from now on, you are my adopted son, okay?"
The child was still in a daze, and Lao Fu beside him asked the child to kowtow to express his gratitude, and the child kowtowed blankly.
Fu Xu suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Sanyou is my brother in life and death! Whoever kills my brother, I will kill him! I heard that the murderer first killed Sanyou's son Fang Chong, and then fled to the Blood Rain Guards' base, and even escaped from Fengye City early this morning!"
"Sixth Brother." Fu Xu looked at an old brother, "I'll leave this matter to you. Take people to investigate immediately. We must find out the identity of the murderer and where the murderer is now! I want to avenge Brother Sanyou!"
"Yes, big brother!" Lao Liu immediately responded, turned around and left quickly.
"Brother, we still have to think twice before we act." Someone stood up and said worriedly, "Brother Sanyou has the support of Chaoshan Lake, so how can Fengye City dare to attack him? Why do the Blood Rain Guards of Fengye City listen to the murderer so much? The murderer must be someone powerful, so we must not act rashly."
"Brother Sanyou is dead, why are you still thinking twice? If you think twice, the murderer will escape!" others retorted.
"Shut up, everyone."
Fu Xu glared at the people around him, "The one who killed my brother must be avenged!"
"Thank you, foster father." The child Fang Yong finally came to his senses and knelt down to kowtow in thanks.
"Good boy, come here." Fu Xu waved his hand, and Fang Yong stood up and walked to Fu Xu.
Fu Xu pulled Fang Yong into his arms and said, "I will definitely avenge your father. You should live your life in peace and learn martial arts well."
Fang Yong nodded.
"Everyone go away. I'm tired." Fu Xu had a sad face and waved his hand, and everyone left.
Fu Xu sat there, even the maids had left, only his wife was there with him.
"Afu." Madam frowned slightly. "Two hours ago, you received a secret letter from Fengye City. The secret letter clearly stated that the murderer was Commander-in-Chief Fei's father. The one who killed Fang Chong was Commander-in-Chief Fei's sister."
Chaoshan Lake is the real ruler of the surrounding area for thousands of miles. Naturally, it obtained detailed information within one day and delivered it to Fuxu by carrier pigeon.
"I received the secret letter and gathered people two hours later. I knew the identity of the murderer, but I ordered Lao Liu to find out the identity and location of the murderer." Fu Xu sighed, "It was to buy time for Mr. Fei and let him escape from the influence of Chaoshan Lake as soon as possible."
The lady was slightly startled.
"How dare I chase him?" Fu Xu shook his head. "Everyone says I am the lord of Chaoshan Lake and the local tyrant of a thousand miles around. But that Commander-in-Chief Fei is the king of the entire Eastern Region of the Empire! He is extremely powerful and all the Blood Rain Guards in the Eastern Region of the Empire obey his orders. How dare I kill his father and his sister?"
Madam sighed, "I understand."
"We are bandits, but as their leader, I am walking on thin ice." Fu Xu said, "Internally, I have to unite the brothers. Externally, I have to be ruthless! Make all parties fear and be timid. I also have to be careful, for fear of causing a catastrophe. I am already fifty-eight years old this year, and I am increasingly unable to do what I want."
The lady held her husband's hand.
From ordinary bandits all the way to where they are today, the couple have supported each other and have been through a lot.
"And the father of Commander-in-Chief Fei is also very smart." Fu Xu smiled, "He revealed his identity in front of the gate of the Blood Rain Guards' headquarters, in front of many Blood Rain Guards! If he had hidden his identity and only told Commander Chang and a few others quietly, it would have been difficult for me to find out his identity. He revealed his identity... Actually, he revealed it to me, so that I would wake up and not foolishly rush over and cause a big disaster."
"Reveal it to you?" The lady was surprised.
"Within a thousand miles, I am the only one who has the power to destroy their team." Fu Xu said, "So he revealed his identity just to reveal it to me. He was afraid that I would do something stupid."
The lady understood.
"The father of our Commander-in-Chief Fei is also quite scheming." Fu Xu smiled.
During the decline of the empire, Fuxu, a traitor, was able to control a thousand miles of land. In addition to his brains, he also had strong enough military force. He himself was a top-notch master known all over the world, and he also had many top-notch masters under his command! Because of this, he was able to do many taboo things and resist the empire's military expeditions several times. The Blood Rain Guards in the surrounding cities had to rely on him!
Fu Xu has enough strength to destroy the Fei family's convoy.
This is also the reason why Mr. Fei is so cautious.
…
Two days later.
"Brother, we found out." The sixth brother knelt down and said angrily, "The leader of the murderer team is the father of the commander-in-chief Fei of the Eastern Region of the Empire! After their caravan left Fengye City, they traveled very fast, covering six or seven hundred miles in one day. They traveled day and night without much rest. They bypassed the Su Great Wall and are now out of our Chaoshan Lake sphere of influence."
"What?" Fu Xu stood up and stared, "Traveling day and night? Going around the Great Wall, where are they now?"
"At least it has to be Xu Fang's area." Lao Liu reported.
Fu Xu was so angry that his face turned pale: "Old Six, Old Six, it took you two days to find out the news. Now that the person has arrived at Xu Fang's place, how can we arrest him?"
"I'm useless, please punish me, big brother!" Lao Liu knelt down with tears in his eyes, but he was calm in his heart, because when the big brother asked him to track down, he stretched out two fingers and pointed. After following the big brother for so many years, he understood...
It would take 'two days' to find out the identity and location of the murderer.
…
The Fei family convoy made a circle and continued to move north.
"It's done." Master Fei was still a little nervous when he just left Fengye City. He was afraid that the bandits would get carried away and surround them! Even though he deliberately revealed his identity in front of the Blood Rain Guards' gate, he was still worried that the bandits would go crazy.
Sometimes thieves just do whatever they want.
"The Lord of Chaoshan Lake is indeed a tyrant as the legend says. After knowing my identity, he really did not take any action." Master Fei finally relaxed after he escaped far away from the sphere of influence of Chaoshan Lake.
In fact, the Fei family's guard team is very luxurious, and ordinary bandits can't . Those who can really destroy this caravan are all real heroes from all over the place. Chaoshan Lake is naturally one of them.
"Xinlan." Mr. Fei looked at his daughter. After two days and two nights of running around, Fei Xinlan did not look very well.
"Dad." Fei Xinlan looked at her father.
"Remember this lesson." Master Fei said, "Think twice before you act in the future! Consider the consequences more."
"But sometimes I can't help it." Fei Xinlan lowered her head.
"You have to hold back." Master Fei said, "Being able to hold back means you have grown up. Hold back first, and then consider whether there is a better way. Even if you hold back on the surface and secretly send people to kill his entire family, it is better than killing people openly!"
"Send someone secretly?" Fei Xinlan was stunned.
"There are many ways to assassinate and frame someone. For example, you can save people on the spot and punish Fang Chong lightly without causing a big conflict. After we leave Fengye City for a few days, you can kill him through the Blood Rain Guards. Isn't it much easier?" Master Fei said, "You have to know that our lives were in the hands of Chaoshan Lake a day or two ago. Fortunately, the Lord of Chaoshan Lake held back and let us go."
Master Fei looked at his daughter and said, "Don't ever put your life in the hands of others and let them decide your life or death. Do you understand?"
"My daughter understands." Fei Xinlan seemed to be thinking about something.
"I hope you've learned your lesson. When you get to the imperial capital, there are many people there who are much stronger than your brother. If you get into trouble there, your brother won't be able to save you." Master Fei said, "Think more about everything, and don't act impulsively."
"I understand." Fei Xinlan also felt her father's nervousness and anxiety in the past two days.
…
On the sixth day after leaving Chaoshan Lake, the Fei family team encountered the first death of their guards since they set out. Their team had so many handsome horses, and everyone knew that they had a great background and must be very fat, so they were naturally robbed.
But overall, the journey through the eastern region of the empire was quite smooth.
But after traveling more than 20,000 miles and leaving the eastern region of the empire, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
…
Outside the Eastern Region, the fierce bandits on all sides don't care about "Master Fei" anymore.
In a blink of an eye, it has been two months since I left Lanyue City.
"We will be able to reach the imperial capital tomorrow." On the roadside, the Fei family convoy was eating dry food and resting. Qiu Tong looked towards the north with anticipation, but she was missing her left arm.
A very cold female swordsman, after two months of fighting, her swordsmanship has also changed. After losing an arm, her strength has not only not decreased, but has become much stronger.
"It was so difficult to get here." Luo Baichuan had a scar on his face and shook his head. "Fortunately, the Fei family recruited a group of Blood Rain Guards in Tiezhong City, otherwise our team would have suffered much greater losses. How come these bandits in the north are even more vicious than those in the east?"
Xu Jingming drank wine and ate cakes, and said: "The main thing is that once we leave the East Region, Lord Fei's deterrence will naturally not be enough!"
Qiu Tong nodded: "In the East Region, you just need to report the name of Master Fei! The more ferocious the bandit gang, the more face they give. But outside the East Region, there are fierce battles and robberies! Brother Jing, I admire you. You can wield a spear and your shield is so powerful! If it weren't for your shield, I would not only lose an arm, but also my life."
Xu Jingming looked at the two shields placed aside.
Yes, in a fierce battle half a month ago, the bandits were too fierce, too fearless, and too cunning. Xu Jingming even felt that... that group of terrifying bandits should be made up of cosmic citizen players! Perhaps only 'cosmic citizen players' would be so fearless!
In that battle, the guards died one after another, and Miss Fei Xinlan was in danger. Xu Jingming chose to pick up the two shields of the dead guards to protect Miss Fei Xinlan! Of course, he also helped Sister Qiu Tong.
When facing a group attack, it is more convenient to defend with a shield.
Finally, after the deaths of two first-rate masters and twelve second-rate masters, all the invading bandits were killed.
Yes, none of these bandits escaped! This level of ferocity made Xu Jingming believe that... they must be the players of the Universe Citizens!
"Fortunately, the masters added by the Fei family are all masters of the Blood Rain Guard! Otherwise, in the battle half a month ago, many guards would have been scared away." Luo Baichuan said.
Xu Jingming glanced at his two companions.
So many people died, but Luo Baichuan and Qiu Tong are still alive. They are really lucky.
Maybe that was also the reason why the two of them followed Miss Fei Xinlan so closely, as the Miss was under the strictest protection.
"We were escorted all the way from Lanyue City this time. The first month was relatively easy, but the second month was much more difficult." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "For Sister Qiu Tong and Brother Luo, the second month was too difficult. But for me, the second month was more effective in honing my spear and shield skills."
"My shield skills have improved a lot. Even under the pressure of siege, I have realized the art of 'piling up earth' in my shield skills, thus entering the realm of Dingshan Scroll."
The Tao is interconnected and can be used in different weapons.
It was obviously easier to match the Dingshan Scroll when performing the shield method, and to comprehend the way of earth-building. After breaking through the shield method, I practiced the spear method, and soon I got into the Dingshan Scroll. Since then, I have already gotten into the three out of the five volumes of spear method.
The way to build up earth starts from small things.
Earth can be piled up to build a city or a towering mountain! However, even the most towering mountain is made up of pieces of earth and rocks.
Whether it is shield or spear skills, every move must be completed solidly. When solidity reaches a certain level, each move will be naturally integrated without any flaws. Shield protection also leaves no loopholes for the enemy to exploit.
"Miaomiao is probably going to give birth in these few days." Xu Jingming thought of his wife again while eating.
Li Miaomiao is about to give birth.
Xu Jingming was about to become a father, so he was naturally worried every day! Every day when he was sleeping in the Blood Rain World, he would hang up his phone to accompany Li Miaomiao.
…
Master Fei also sat on the soft cloth, eating exquisite pastries and looking to the north. Although the guards suffered heavy losses and even a group of Blood Rain Guards masters were added in Tiezhong City, Master Fei and Miss Fei were frightened but not injured.
"We will reach the imperial capital tomorrow." Master Fei sighed, "Although the journey is quite dangerous, we should be thankful that we can arrive safely."
"The master returned to the imperial capital a few days ago to report on his work." The silver-haired old man said, "The master chose to return to the imperial capital recently to report on his work so that he could take the opportunity to meet the master and the young lady."
"My son has a heart."
Mr. Fei was also looking forward to seeing his son whom he had not seen for many years.
