Chapter 68 Yu County(1/2)
The three of them slowly walked out of the mountain road and saw a city in the distance.
"I am a prisoner now. I wonder if I can ask you about your true origins. Anyway, I can't escape from your hands. I am just curious."
The strong man's voice sounded.
"Oh? Our true origins? How about introducing yourself first?"
Fang Ce smiled.
"I...I am just a bandit leader in Beiyu Mountain. My name is Fang Yuan. I am originally from Yu County."
The strong man responded.
"Fang Yuan? Why are you a thief? With your good skills, if you serve the imperial court, you will surely have a good future."
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled, he was also named Fang.
"Serve the imperial court? Oh, now the imperial court is corrupt and incompetent, with many rules and regulations. How can you be as free and carefree as a bandit? If you want beautiful women, you will have beautiful women, and if you want good wine, you will have good wine."
Fang Yuan was disdainful.
"Are you happy? How are you now?"
Fang Ce glanced at Fang Yuan with interest. Is this person really a bad person by nature, or does he have another identity?
"Now... I can only admit that I am unlucky, but there is nothing to regret. I have already enjoyed what I should enjoy. Even if I die, I will die without regrets."
Fang Yuan had a free and easy expression on his face.
"Heh, that's quite understandable."
Fang Ce smiled and nodded: "So...since I have no regrets, can you tell me who your leader is? How many people do you have? What is your specific strength? I heard that there are some very powerful Taoist priests among you. What are their origins?"
,What identity?”
Fang Yuan's face froze, and then he said quietly: "I, Fang Yuan, will never do anything like betraying my brothers."
"Oh? You lawless bandits who care about human life, are you still so loyal?"
"Fortunately, we don't have any rules. The only rule is loyalty."
"It's rare to see a gang of bandits that is so organized and loyal..."
Fang Ce nodded slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fang Yuan's face looking slightly stiff again.
"Okay, I've told you everything I can say. Should I also tell you something?"
Fang Yuan opened his mouth.
"Yeah, that's fine. My younger brother Fang Ce, both have the surname Fang. Maybe we have some connections."
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
"My surname is Fang? Maybe I am a fellow countryman. No wonder I feel a sense of intimacy when I first meet you. Where are you from?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
Friendliness?
Fang Ce smiled: "I grew up in Qingping Town."
"Growing up in Qingping Town? That Qingping Town next door?"
Fang Yuan was suspicious.
"Yes, it's very close. Maybe we are really from my hometown."
Fang Ce smiled.
"You should have the strength of a Taoist, right? Can Qingping Town have the strength of a Taoist? What do you do, Your Excellency? You shouldn't be as young as you appear on the surface?"
Fang Yuan had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Didn't I tell you, I'm just a Feng Shui apprentice. He's as old as you look."
Fang Ce still smiled.
"Feng Shui apprentice? Impossible! How can there be such a Feng Shui apprentice? What kind of Feng Shui apprentice would you be if you have this ability? You are already a Feng Shui master!
And if you are really the age you appear to be, how did you cultivate to such an extent? It seems that you don’t want to tell the truth. In this case, there is no need for me to ask any more questions."
Fang Yuan responded quietly, not believing what Fang Ce said at all.
"To be honest, if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Fang Ce smiled and spread his hands.
"snort."
Fang Yuan snorted, obviously not believing Fang Ce's words at all.
Fang Ce smiled and didn't pay much attention. He was just a prisoner. Do we need to take his feelings into consideration?
Walked for a while again.
"Even if you don't want to say it, I know that you must be pawns sent by the imperial court to solve the banditry here."
Fang Yuan's voice sounded again.
"Oh? What then?"
Fang Ce smiled. It was correct to say that he and his beautiful boss were pawns sent by the imperial court to solve the banditry, but they were not the pawns this guy imagined.
"To be frank, I advise you not to come to this muddy water, just go through the motions and be considerate. This water is very deep and you cannot swim in it."
Fang Yuan responded quietly.
"Is this a warning?"
Fang Ce is playful.
"You can understand it this way, but I have a good idea."
"What's the idea?"
"join us."
Fang Yuan glanced sideways.
"to join you guys?"
Fang Ce showed even more interest. This guy had already become a prisoner, yet he turned against the guest and instigated rebellion? Interesting.
"With your ability, if you join us, you will definitely get more benefits than the court gives you, including money, beauty, and power."
Fang Yuan's face was dull.
"I don't lack money. I don't lack beauty either. I do have some ideas about power. If I join you, will I be able to defeat ten thousand people by one person? Or will I be able to command thousands of troops at my command?"
Fang Ce smiled.
"No, I'm not talking about that kind of power. What I'm talking about is that you can have a good status here. You can be unrestrained and will definitely be happier than you working hard and complaining in the court."
"Oh...it turns out to be that kind of power. It does sound a bit exciting. But, what do I need to do to join you?"
"There's not much you need to do. When the court sends ruthless people or there's a big problem that can't be solved, you can just help. If we really can't handle it, we will run away in advance.
In other words, on weekdays, you just have fun and do what you want to do. So, are these conditions good?"
"Well……"
Fang Ce couldn't help but ponder, this kind of carefree and happy life sounds really attractive...
"How is it? What I said is true, and it is not a nice thing to say."
Fang Yuan spoke again.
"It's really tempting, and I'm really moved..."
Fang Ce smiled and nodded, and glanced at Xin Yu who was standing aside, only to see that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he hesitated to speak.
"That's right, right? It's better to work for the imperial court than to come to us and work for yourself."
Fang Yuan already smiled.
"Indeed, what you said is very reasonable, big brother. If it were another position, I might really be able to agree to it."
Fang Ce smiled. He was indeed moved. Who wouldn't want to live a happy life? However, now that he has Feng Shui scrolls, he knows that there is real cause and effect in this world.
If he really joins these thieves, he will be helping the evil tyrants and harming innocent people, which will inevitably lead to bad consequences. By then, he may not be able to live happily and happily, but he will be killed.
"Position? Could it be that you are related to the royal family!?"
Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly.
"Ha, your brain is really flexible and moves very quickly."
Fang Ce is funny.
"Huh! That's it!"
Fang Yuan's face darkened and he stopped talking.
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled, and didn't explain much. If this guy wants to misunderstand, just let it go. It doesn't matter anyway.
To be continued...
