Chapter 27, Misfortune
While the fighting in Shandefang was getting fierce, the frequency of attacks by the Fang family members dropped, and people were slowly retreating.
Shopkeeper Rong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted: "They want to run away, keep them!" The big bow in his hand was designed to shoot at their retreat!
Yang Zhao was refreshed and threw the thunder in his palm faster, while Wang Dacheng and the three of them immediately turned from defense to offense, flew up and chased after them to fight with them.
The young man on the roof directly changed his formation, trapping Fang Boyang, and instantly changed his offensive and defensive positions!
"Don't get into trouble with them and leave quickly!"
Zhang Boyang broke through the formation around him with a Cui weapon, and turned around to leave, but shopkeeper Rong held up his big bow, aimed at his back and started shooting, forcing him to turn around to avoid the shadow of the arrow and stare into the distance.
The government troops were getting closer and closer, and he glared at Shopkeeper Rong fiercely.
"Shopkeeper Rong, do you really have no mercy at all?"
Shopkeeper Rong raised his eyebrows: "What kind of relationship do I have with you?"
Zhang Boyang shouted loudly: "Hurry up and go separately, don't be hit by the government troops!"
Shopkeeper Rong here is not to be outdone: "Capture one person and reward him with ten taels of silver!"
"Roar!" The workers in the yard suddenly became excited. Several foremen looked at each other, picked up the shields on their chairs, picked up their weapons, and rushed out with the workers!
For a moment, Yang Zhao felt his blood boiling over him. He was holding a bagful of thunder in his arms and wanted to rush after him. But before he could even take two steps, he was called back by shopkeeper Rong.
"Yang Zhao, what are you doing?! Come back here!"
Yang Zhao woke up as if someone had poured cold water on him, and ran behind Shopkeeper Rong in small steps.
A trace of regret flashed in Zhang Boyang's eyes, but he didn't dwell too much on it. While shopkeeper Rong was distracted, he fell down to the ground.
There is a wall on the ground blocking Shopkeeper Rong's view, so there is no way to attack him from behind with bows and arrows.
As for the workers who chased him out, they couldn't keep up with him in terms of speed. Just as they were about to dive into the alley next to them, a chorus sounded in the air.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Fellow Daoist Fang, it's so late, where are you going?"
Fang Boyang took a closer look and saw that it was Shen Ruoyu floating in the air!
"Of course I'm going home. Is there anything else you need to do, Fellow Daoist Shen?"
Shen Ruoyu: "Nothing, I just want to ask you for some advice!"
As he said this, he made a hand seal, and a thunderbolt fell down. Fang Boyang was not a vegetarian either. He took a few steps back to avoid the thunder, raised his weapon and attacked.
Shen Ruoyu now has no external objects, so he has no way to confront him head-on. He can only dodge the weapon while attracting thunder from the sky to strike it.
When Fang Boyang saw this, he turned around and left.
"You dare to organize people to attack the workshop in Cangcheng. Your Fang family is so brave!"
It turned out that Lord Zheng led the army to block the way.
Now he couldn't leave at all.
"City Lord Zheng, what are you talking about? I just saw Shandefang being attacked by bad guys, and thinking about the generation-to-generation friendship between the two families, I came to rescue you. How can you just rely on yourself to sit in the position of City Lord and give it to us?"
Where is the Fang family pouring black water?"
City Lord Zheng sneered: "Qiaoyan is fickle. I didn't realize that you, Fang Boyang, are also a master. What a pity. Look who I caught."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the sergeant behind him pulled out two people from behind, officially the juniors of the Fang family.
The two men were not honest when being held up by the sergeants. They kept struggling and yelled: "We did not attack Shandefang at all. Lord Zheng, you can't make false accusations against good people."
City Lord Zheng: "Sure enough, we are not a family. If you don't enter the same family, whether you are good people or not is not decided by me, but by the suffering master. Fang Boyang, let's go and walk with us in Shandefang.
I believe that with the friendship between your Rongfang family, the people in Shandefang will not make things difficult for you."
Fang Boyang's face was ashen and he stared at City Lord Zheng fiercely without saying a word.
But at this moment, there were shouts and shouts all around, and a fight broke out between the government troops and people on the periphery!
City Lord Zheng frowned: "What's going on? Send someone to investigate quickly!"
Fang Boyang's eyes lit up, knowing that his reinforcements were coming.
The reality did not disappoint him either. The old man of the Fang family who had been trying to break up the fight in the air appeared out of nowhere and ducked to rescue the two captured Fang family disciples.
"No need to spy! City Lord Zheng, as the City Lord of Cangcheng, you were unwilling to make progress during your reign and took advantage of others. You even collaborated with foreign thieves to injure innocent children of the Fang family. Today, our Fang family will capture you and hand you over to Laiyuan Mansion.
It’s up to you!”
It is said that Lord Laiyuanfu once studied under the ancestors of the Fang family.
The Fang family is the largest ethnic group in Cangcheng. There are more than a thousand disciples in the family, and together with the disciples and servants, they can gather a crowd of three thousand.
Zheng Cheng's face was livid, he stared at Old Man Fang bitterly and suddenly laughed.
"The Fang family is really ambitious. I have underestimated you!"
As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized gold seal from his arms, and with a burst of magic power, six characters rose in the sky: Seal of the Lord of Cangcheng City.
"The Fang family has led everyone to conspire against the rebels. I, Zheng Zhang, the lord of Cangcheng, will lead the army today to clear out the rebels! All irrelevant people will close their doors and not go out! Otherwise, they will be treated as traitors."
The words of City Lord Zheng were endorsed by the official seal and resounded throughout the city.
The two sides were at odds with each other and started fighting on the spot.
Shen Ruoyu looked around, but couldn't find Fang Shuli's figure. His heart tightened, and he raised his feet and wanted to rush to the good virtue room.
The old man from the Fang family next to him stopped him in a flash.
"Where can you go, you traitor?"
With a flick of the whisk in his hand, he attacked.
The space in the streets is small, and the attack surface of the thunder method is too large to be used. Shen Ruoyu can only dodge left and right without moving.
On the other side, everyone in Shandefang thought that the overall situation was settled and were sitting to rest. They never thought that the children of the Fang family who had run away would make a comeback and come back again. This time there were more than one person in attendance.
The young man in the room could only take out a pill from his arms and put it under his tongue. With a flick of the abacus in his hand, he opened the gap in the formation on the door and let the workers who had retreated in.
The workers in the workshop first left a group of people at the door to throw thunderbolts from their palms, and then the rest entered the courtyard. Then, the workers who entered the yard threw thunderbolts from their palms to catch the workers who were behind them.
Except for a few unlucky ones, everyone returned to the yard safely, and there were even a few groups with Fang family children tied into twists in their hands, coming to shopkeeper Xiang Rong to receive their reward.
Shopkeeper Rong followed the rules and ordered the accountant on the spot to write down all these people and collect the money later.
Other workers were gearing up.
Indeed, although the children of the Fang family made a comeback and attacked Shandefang again, the people of the Rong family also rushed over.
Although the Rong family was obviously ill-prepared and not many people came over, the younger ones were already clever enough to turn around and fly into the air to seek help from their elders.
Yang Zhao only felt that the situation tonight had changed too quickly. It was already dark, and the fight between the two sides did not stop.
