Jiangcheng, even among the seven southeastern cities, is still the area with the best luck in staying away from war.
However, the city lord's palace was prepared for a rainy day and began to recruit a large number of soldiers openly, not limited to the inner and outer cities.
If doing so in peacetime would be a taboo, the Lord of Jiangcheng City would most likely be punished by the imperial court.
But now that the world is really in chaos, the central court itself cannot protect itself, and no one can stop the ambition of the Lord of Jiangcheng.
Liu Mang was overjoyed, as this relieved his urgent need.
Almost all the young and strong men in the outer city gathered in the Golden Tiger Gang.
Liu Mang then held a meeting in the gang, explaining the situation of downsizing the gang, and encouraged everyone to serve as soldiers in the inner city for extra rewards.
In just a few days, the number of members of the Golden Tiger Gang dropped from more than a thousand to just over two hundred, leaving only the core members.
On this day, Liu Mang looked at his attribute column.
It's coming soon, it's coming soon, in four or five days I can be promoted to the second level of bone forging.
Now it seems that there are several celebrities here, and the state of the Southeast Wulin is not too bad. After it is almost stabilized, Han Long should also be back.
At that time, he could take Mother Liu and Sun Xiaocao with him and go to the Four Sacred Mountains to find Mr. Yin.
Regardless of whether the world is in chaos or not, internal strength still needs to be learned, and life span still needs to be improved.
Just as Liu Mang was thinking this, someone from the gang came over to report: "Gang leader, some brothers noticed the sound of fighting with weapons outside the black bear forest!"
Liu Mang nodded after hearing this and said: "I will go over to investigate now. You try not to get close."
Could it be that the Taiyun Bandits started to log into Jiangcheng today?
Liu Mang thought this way and quickly arrived outside the Black Bear Forest.
Black Bear Forest is located in the outermost area even outside Jiangcheng, with its end close to Longjiang.
The ecology in the forest is complex, not only lush and lush with various pine trees, poplars, and birches, but also hillsides, swamps, lakes and other natural landscapes.
After Liu Mang stepped into the black bear forest, he carefully observed the surrounding situation and listened to various sounds to identify the source.
At his level of martial arts, with little knowledge, his eyesight and hearing are more than ten times higher than ordinary people's?
Liu Mang walked deep into the forest, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
There were several corpses lying on the ground.
They all wore black chainmail and black half-masks on their faces, and some held a long knife that was as curved as a crescent moon tightly in their hands.
"This is the Moon Shadow Guard of the Wanyue Merchant Guild?" Liu Mang frowned, having bad thoughts in his mind.
Each of the Moon Shadow Guards is a carefully selected dead soldier of the Fang family, and not everyone in the Fang family can use them.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang accelerated his exploration, scurrying up and down the big trees like a nimble ape.
Suddenly his eyes moved, and his figure was hidden among the dense branches and leaves on the top of a pine tree.
Through the gaps in the branches, you can see the ground not far from him.
There were seven or eight majestic men in red shorts with bare arms, each holding a long knife and poking around in the bushes.
The aura on everyone's body is not lower than level three.
And judging from their appearance and temperament, they look very much like the Taiyun Bandits.
"Capture the young lady of the Fang family, and the boss will reward you with a thousand taels of gold!"
"You missed something. It must be alive. It's best not to suffer any damage."
"The Fang family's little lady doesn't know martial arts, so she won't be able to run far. Let's search carefully, and we will share the bounty equally among the brothers!"
What?
Catching Fang Qingtang!
Liu Mang was shocked when he was hiding in the tree. He couldn't understand how the pearl of the Wanyue Chamber of Commerce could end up like this.
The direct descendants of the Fang family were very kind to him. Whether it was Fang Youheng or Fang Qingtang, it could be said that they had saved him more than once, and there was no way he would die without saving him no matter what.
Liu Mang silently jumped on the top of each tree. Even if he accidentally scratched a leaf or branch, others would only think it was caused by an animal in the forest.
He secretly followed one of the lone men in red. Seeing that there was no one around, he fell from the sky and pounced on him like a big bird!
The man was shocked and hurriedly raised the knife to stab his head. However, with his iron-level cultivation, how could he block Liu Mang's move now?
Liu Mang slapped the opponent's knife directly with his palm, knocking it away and inserting it into the ground. At the same time, the castration was still imprinted on the man's chest!
puff!
The man vomited a large mouthful of blood, and when he was about to be knocked back by the huge force, Liu Mang grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
He hit Liu Mang's arm as hard as he could, but he couldn't hurt Liu Mang at all?
"Where is Fang Qingtang?" Liu Mang asked.
The other party's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.
Liu Mang threw it to the ground and threatened: "If you dare to do anything strange, you will be decapitated immediately!"
The man realized that the man in front of him was no match for him, so he begged, "I told you, can you let me go?"
ever!
One of his fingers disappeared!
"Ah..." He was about to scream, but Liu Mang grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"You are not qualified to bargain." Liu Mang's eyes were cold.
After Liu Mang threw it to the ground again, the man did not dare to bargain anymore.
"Where is Fang Qingtang?"
"I don't know, we are looking for it too."
"Which band of Taiyun Bandits are you?"
"We are from the Xiongshi Village, and our boss calls us the Black-faced Lions."
"Why arrest Fang Qingtang?"
"The boss said that if you catch her, you can truly get the Moon-Winning Knife."
"Where's Fang Youheng?"
"It seems that the master and several masters have been trapped somewhere, and they can't escape for a while."
Katcha!
After asking for all the information he wanted to know, Liu Mang easily broke the man's neck.
At the same time, he lightly kicked the ground, and an invisible force formed a shallow pit on the ground, which became the burial place for this man.
After destroying the corpse and eliminating traces, Liu Mang continued to fly to the top of the tree and quickly began to search for Fang Qingtang's whereabouts.
If you catch Fang Qingtang, will you be able to control the ten magical weapons, the Moon-wielding Sword?
Fang Qingtang doesn't know martial arts, so in the eyes of those who follow the evil ways, he is probably about the same as Tang Monk.
According to his estimation, the Taiyun Bandits will have a big guy coming soon, and he must find Fang Qingtang as soon as possible!
The black bear forest was very large, and Liu Mang kept jumping on the treetops, carefully looking for traces of Fang Qingtang.
He passed through large areas of bushes, weeds, forest lakes, swamps, hills and many other complex areas, but could not find even a trace of Fang Qingtang.

At this time, more and more men in red entered the Black Bear Forest, as if they would not give up until Fang Qingtang was found.
The top experts from Taiyun Mountain will also arrive at any time, so we must find Fang Qingtang before they arrive.
Liu Mang was anxious and had no clue. Suddenly he stopped on a tree and thought:
"If I were Fang Qingtang and I didn't know martial arts, where could I hide in the black bear forest where I would be least likely to be discovered?"
His eyes lit up, and he rushed towards an area he passed through in his memory!
