I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 60, Wind Rises

As the sun sets, a round of fiery red sun is hidden among the mountains in the west, and the orange-red afterglow paints half of the sky, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, over the mottled yellow mud wall, and falling on the stone table in the yard.

Therefore, the setting sun and sunset glow were put into the jug together and poured into the bowl.

"I admire the hero who killed Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Lang, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, and killed harm for the people. I wish I could see him again, and I will give him a bowl with my own hands!"

Jiang Pingan sighed with regret.

"That's right, he must be a hero who is unrestrained and unrestrained, happy to be kind and hateful."

Fang Rui nodded approvingly, and raised his wine bowl: "Let's not talk about this... come, brother Jiang, drink!"

boom!
He touched bowls with Jiang Ping'an, and said to himself, "I'll just treat you as a respecter." '

"Good wine!"

Jiang Pingan drank it all in one gulp, drank the setting sun and the sunset together, let out a long "ha" breath, picked up a fennel bean, and chewed slowly in his mouth.

He talked about the current situation in the city, with a happy expression on his face: "The rebel army ransacked the big households...and distributed food and relief...divided the land...now, the city has completely settled down!"

"Brother Jiang is very interesting. ' Fang Rui thought to himself.

In the past, the government was rotten to the core, Jiang Pingan was like Guang Tongchen, following the crowd to make extra money, but he also had a bottom line in his heart, not to do big treacherous things;

The Taiping thieves besieged the city, the city was chaotic, the old and the weak suffered, and children as old as his son Niu Dun died tragically. When Jiang Pingan got drunk, he would point to Xinwozi and say, "Look at Xinwozi";
Now that the rebel army is in control of Changshan City, Jiang Ping'an will be full of energy and cooperate with the implementation of the "good policy" if the people below are required to carry it out, rather than suffer a little bit by himself.

This is not a hero in the storybook, a moral saint, let alone a villain, but a lively person with his own moral bottom line in reality.

It is also because of this truthfulness that Fang Rui regards him as a true friend after getting along with him for a long time.

"Yes!"

Fang Rui picked up the wine bowl, sipped the wine, and echoed, "These days, the city is much more stable."

This is very ironic, the so-called 'Taiping Thief' is in power, and it is even better than the government of Yu State in the past.

As for the Tiger Gang?
Those things are like shadows under the sun, they can't be eradicated at any time... Don't talk about this world, just talk about Fang Rui's previous life, isn't it the same?
Don't mention these things.

The two were chatting, Fang Rui suddenly asked: "Brother Jiang, have you seen that General Xuantong before? How is he? As rumored outside, he is eight feet tall, five big and three thick?"

"This... I haven't really seen it before."

Jiang Pingan shook his head: "A fast arrester like me, even though he has escaped from the low-level government servants, he is still not qualified to rely on someone like General Xuantong. Of course, it is not a problem to take a look from a distance... However, in the past few days, General Xuantong has not appeared, and there is no news from others..."

"Ordinarily, at such a time, that General Xuantong should show up more often to stabilize the people in the city... But it's a bit strange not to see anyone for several days in a row." Fang Rui frowned.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's better to come forward to stabilize people's hearts... Also, I thought that the Lin family would be the first to raid the house."

"After all, if you kill monkeys to make an example of chickens and use the Lin family as an example, other big families in the city will be honest..."

"I didn't expect that,"

Jiang Ping'an's face was also surprised: "Up to now, the other big families have almost copied it, but the Lin family has been doing well..."

"It's weird."

Hearing this, Fang Rui narrowed his eyes, and the wine bowl brought to his mouth stopped abruptly: "What's the reason why the great general Xuantong didn't show up?"Or is it not in Changshan City at all? ! '

"Father also went to carry out some secret mission. He hid it tightly and kept it very confidential. Even family members like me couldn't get it if we met each other... If it was in Changshan City, it wouldn't be like this..."

'So, Dad is probably not in the city anymore...did he leave with that General Xuantong? ! '

'If you're not in Changshan City, where can you go? '

Thinking of this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Fang Rui's mind: "Could it be that you went to other counties, to cheat the city?" '

'Yes, this is really possible! '

As soon as Fang Rui thought of this, his thoughts suddenly opened up: "The Taiping thief broke through Changshan City, got the seal of the county lord, and even recruited a few demoted officials. In this way, it is not a problem to pretend to be Changshan City's defeated soldiers and ask for help, deceiving the city... and then unite The thief army in other places really has the possibility of making a big deal! '

"Even, taking advantage of the fact that the government of Yu State didn't react, it is not impossible to use the old tricks again and again with great speed..."

Compared with this, it is indeed not so urgent to eradicate the Lin family in Changshan City.

'What a calculation! '

The more Fang Rui thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

In his previous life, he had experienced the information explosion, his imagination was unconstrained, he was not limited to one city or one place, he dared to think and guess anything.

In this way, it is sometimes more likely to touch the truth.

"Brother Fang, what's wrong, what are you thinking?" Jiang Pingan couldn't help asking seeing Fang Rui stunned.

"No."

Fang Rui came back to his senses, those thoughts flashed through his mind, the reality was only for a moment, so he took a sip of wine to cover it up.

It's not that he was stingy in telling Jiang Ping'an his own guess, but: the news was told, it would be a disaster for Jiang Ping'an, but troublesome.

Jiang Pingan didn't care, and continued: "However, I think that in just these two days, the rebel army and the Xia family are going to attack the Lin family!"

"I also want to thank the hero who killed Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Lang, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang,"

He gloated and said, "When these two people die, the conflict between Lin and Xia will intensify, and it will be obvious that the Xia family will have to do something... Otherwise, others will think that the Xia family is afraid!"

"And as long as the Xia family encourages them and expresses that they are willing to take on the main force, most of the rebels will not refuse. After all, the huge wealth of the Lin family makes the rebels covetously."

"Yes!"

Fang Rui nodded, wondering if there was anything he could do.

"Li Xuantong is not here, the fourth rank in the city, just the old masters of the Lin family and the Xia family, and the two of them will meet again... As a fifth rank, I seem to be enough to control the situation in the city and make troubles? '

'calm!Calm down! '

Fang Rui forced himself to calm down: "What are you doing in the wind and the rain?"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile! '

'Well, I won't get involved in the main battlefield, let them beat life and death, stay on the periphery and beat sap sticks, fish in troubled waters, get some benefits and get a share of the pie, let's see if I can kill a few Lin family members and take revenge Resentment, it's always okay, right? '

The two drank wine and chatted, from the situation in the city, the two big families, to the trivial matters of each family.

"...Brother Fang, you are in the courtyard of Tianshuijing Hutong, the old man Sun's house next door, remember? The eldest son of that family, Sun Sheng, was defeated and joined the rebel army, but he disappeared shortly after returning..."

Jiang Ping'an sighed, "Old man Sun has become an extinct family, and his family has also been ruined in the past two days!"

"Oh, is it?"

On Fang Rui's face, there was just the right amount of surprise, without any abnormality, but he secretly sighed in his heart: "The matter of Sun Sheng is completely settled." '

He thought of himself, and he couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face: "If something happened to me outside, mother, third sister, daughter, and Ling'er, even if they were in the cellar, if they could call for help to come out, they would be extinct... '

'Even with Brother Jiang's help, I'm afraid I will be sad, and I can still support it for a while, but after a long time, sooner or later, I will be eaten up by others. '

Thinking of this, Fang Rui secretly reminded himself: Be careful, be careful, be careful!

……

The two drank for a while, and before it was completely dark, Jiang Ping'an left, saying that he had cooked dinner at home and had business tonight, so he didn't stay here for dinner.

Jiang Ping'an had just left not long ago.

Outside, the sound of soldiers suddenly sounded.

"This is... the direction to the Lin family?!"

Standing in front of the window, Fang Rui looked out at the Taiping army wearing red scarves and wearing strong swords, marching like a long snake, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Sure enough, I killed Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Ye Lang. Helping the boss, Duan Lang, intensified the conflict between the Lin and Xia families, and the rebels and the Xia family are planning to attack the Lin family in advance?"

"The choice of night is probably also to minimize panic and disturb the people..." He thought to himself.

After a while.

There are rebel yamen servants who come from door to door to inform: "Don't be afraid when you hear the sound of killing at night. It's a big family dog ​​jumping over the wall in a hurry. Don't pay attention to it. Just wait behind closed doors and don't go out." '

"This is undisguised, and you are going to attack the Lin family? Yes, sending troops to surround the Lin family is already a complete tear."

"At this time, it can be said that the plan is poor, so why hide it? You can't hide it!"

Fang Rui thought for a while, then told Fang Ling and Nannan to go play in the yard, and went into the back room by himself.

……

Squeak!

Fang Rui closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed: "Lin and Xia, apart from the two fourth-rank masters of the Xia family and the head of the Lin family, there should be five or six fifth-rank warriors..."

"Although with such a main combat force, the two families will also guard and confront each other, and most of them will not appear on the periphery, but, to be on the safe side, we still need to increase it again!"

What Fang Rui wanted to improve was naturally not the martial arts - the robbery points were far from enough, but the martial arts: "Death-killing Saber Technique".

It just so happened that Jiang Ping'an had already brought his simple knife when he came over for a drink.

Close your eyes.

Fang Rui was conscious of the dot of light in the upper left corner, opened the panel, and looked at the "Death Saber Technique" in the skill column: "I didn't upgrade it before because the level is the heaviest. In addition, you can also save a certain amount of disaster points for backup. Prepare for the unexpected..."

Such as: a sudden plague, or Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Nannan, Fang Ling's sudden acute illness, lack of medical skills, can be temporarily promoted and so on.

"But now, there are already a lot of robbery points. After upgrading the "Death Saber Technique" to a certain level, there will still be spares. Don't worry about this anymore!"

【Calamity point: 591】.

yes!Although it has only been three or four days since the last time he broke through to the fifth rank, the number of robbery points has increased from more than 250 points last time to nearly [-] points.

This was Fang Rui's feedback from beheading Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Lang, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, as well as intensifying the situation in the city and exacerbating the destruction of the Lin family.

"Let's start, improve the "Death-killing Saber Technique"!"

Fang Rui's mind clicked on the '+' after "Death Saber Technique".

With the rapid reduction of the robbery points on the panel, the familiar cool air flow reappeared.

Just like the last time I improved "Fang's Medical Skills", those cool air currents didn't roam the whole body like when I broke through the realm, but lingered in my mind.

in an instant.

Fang Rui felt that his thoughts seemed to be stretched and accelerated, and the words and phrases of "Death Saber Technique" flickered in his mind, and he entered a state of epiphany.

and.

There seemed to be a villain in front of him, practicing the "Death Saber Technique" over and over again, from being unfamiliar to getting started.

The only fly in the ointment was that this state was interrupted in just a few short breaths, making Fang Rui tremble and wake up.

"20 robbery points, get started!"

Fang Rui murmured, and lifted the simple knife in front of him. He felt that after his luck point was raised to "beginner", he learned some skills without a teacher, and learned to use this simple knife.

——It’s no longer what it used to be, just relying on physical attributes to go straight.

"continue!"

The '+' in "Death Saber Technique" didn't dim, he poured his thoughts into it, a little more.

Tribulation point -50, proficiency in "Death Saber Technique"!
……

"continue!"

Tribulation point -100, proficiency in "Death Saber Technique"!
……

"Continue!"

Tribulation point -200, a small success in "Deadly Sword Art"!
……

Swish!
Fang Rui opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

【Name: Fang Rui】

[Robbery: 221]

[Cultivation Method: Health Cultivation (Peak to the Peak)]

[Realm: Fifth Grade (Marrow Washing)]

[Skills: Fang's medical skills (proficient) (+), animal taming (beginner) (+), Feng Shui (beginner) (+), killing knife technique (small success)]

[Supernatural Power: Immortality (Grey)]

……

At this time, in the skill column, the '+' after "Death Saber Technique" has disappeared, but the '+' after the other three skills are still there.

Obviously, the remaining robbery points are enough to prevent accidents.

"The first small skill level!"

Fang Rui closed the panel, and grabbed the simple knife in front of him. Unlike in the past, this time, the simple knife in his hand felt like he could use his fingers.

This knife is like a part of his body, or an extension of his body. Holding it, he instinctively knows how to use this simple knife to make moves and deal with it...

Even, muscle memory has been formed, so that he can use his own strength in the shortest possible time to kill people.

Don't take this as an exaggeration.

What is Xiaocheng?A small achievement!
In this era, it is not at the level of a cat or a dog, who dare to call it "successful"-small success, that is also successful.

If the 'proficient' level is regarded as a master among amateurs, then 'small success' has entered the professional field.

A gangster who licks blood at the edge of a knife, a killer with skills in killing, generally has this level in terms of knife skills!
Dacheng?

That is already above the professional level, the master level, without top-level talent, understanding, and hard work, it is impossible to achieve.

"Of course, this is just a sword technique, so don't look at it too miraculously. No matter what, it's a skill that can be used, but don't rely too much on it!"

As Fang Rui expected, the so-called martial arts are indeed the magnification of strength, but it is almost difficult to cross the realm.

Just like an ant, no matter how good the grass stalk is at playing, it doesn’t matter whether it’s easy or not, a child will press it down with one hand, and if it says it will kill you, won’t it kill you?
No matter how good ordinary people's sword skills are, their reaction speed is too slow, and they still can't hit them. If a boulder weighing hundreds of catties hits them, they will still die!

As for ordinary people, if they have practiced their saber skills to great success, perfection, and perfection, they can cut out saber intent, saber qi, and so on?

Wash and sleep!

"I've counted the history of my previous life, and I don't know how many people are amazingly talented, but I've never heard of it, what kind of sword intent and sword energy can be cut..."

Fang Rui is well aware of one thing: to appear holy in front of others, it needs to be supported by one's own strength!

Therefore, martial arts are not useless, they are still very useful between opponents of the same weight.

But crossing the realm of the first grade is like two orders of magnitude difference in weightlifting—especially after reaching the middle grade, this trend becomes more and more obvious!

Cut down next?

It's not completely impossible to do it, but if you really want to cross the first-rank realm, at least you have to reach perfection to have a certain possibility... Moreover, it can't be a qualitative change from seventh-rank to sixth-rank, fourth-rank to third-rank!
""Death-killing Sword Art", although the quality of this broken martial art is not good, it is still a small achievement. After entering the professional level, even if it is at the middle or lower level in the professional level, it can beat other sword skills at the proficient level, but it is still not enough. hard."

In this small city of Changshan, there are probably only a handful of people who have practiced martial arts to a "small success", not to mention the master level of 'great success'.

As for the five or six fifth-rank martial artists from Lin and Xia's family, they are pampered and rarely fight. For them, the "proficient" level of martial arts is the limit.

"So, my fifth-rank strength, plus Xiaocheng's "Death-killing Saber Technique", the overall strength, in the entire Changshan City, is probably only lower than those two fourth-rank warriors."

"Plus, I didn't go deep, so I just beat the sap on the outside, and took revenge by the way. The safety is still very guaranteed."

Fang Rui muttered, got up and stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the window, looking through the boundless and deep night, as if he saw the Lin family at this moment: "Everything is ready, I only owe the east wind!"

Just at this time, outside the window, there was a sudden wind, blowing the vegetation and shaking violently, making noises.

……

As night falls, the moon rises, and the lights of thousands of houses light up.

Under Fang Rui's special explanation, today, the Fang family's dinner is a little earlier than usual.

Today's dinner: fried bean sprouts, egg custard, fried bacon, a large pot of white flour steamed buns, white flour noodles.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ping'an came to deliver the knife, and also brought a batch of supplies: five catties of eggs, ten catties of bacon, ten catties of soybeans, and a large bag of dried mushrooms...

——Nowadays, eggs, oil, and meat are quite rare in the market, but they are purchased in large quantities for warriors. If they are like the Fang family, rich and well-connected, they can buy enough for three or five people. It is not difficult to meet the shortage of materials for people's life.

Coincidentally, Fang Rui's need for ordinary food has been greatly reduced because of the old medicine, the great medicine, and the supplement of medicinal food. Correspondingly, she, San Niangzi, and the two little ones can eat these "good things" in Fang Xue's mouth. Got more.

It can be said: Nowadays, the quality of life of the Fang family is not much different from that of the children of the weaker big families in Changshan City.

"Mother, third sister, Ling'er, Nannan, sit down and eat!" Fang Rui greeted.

"Brother Rui, our family's life is like a dream..."

Fang Xue felt very unreal: "A few years ago, this kind of food was only available during Chinese New Year!"

"That's right, brother Rui has the ability." The third lady looked at Fang Rui with admiration.

"Hey, what's this? Better days are ahead!"

Fang Rui picked food for everyone, especially the two little girls, each with a big chopsticks of bacon: "Ling'er, Nannie, you are growing up, eat more!"

These days, because of their nutrition, the faces of the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, have become more rosy and radiant, and they don't have the yellowed and forked hair they used to have.

"Wow, thank you brother!"

"Thank you, Ariel!"

Feeling the two little ones, as well as Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi's happy emotions, Fang Rui was also happy in his heart, with a sense of accomplishment.

Isn't he improving his strength to protect these people in front of him and let the family live a good life?

A dinner ends in such a brisk atmosphere.

……

After dinner.

Just like yesterday, let Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan enter the cellar.

Fang Rui Gebu masked his face, carried a plain knife, went straight out, and rushed all the way to Lin's house.

Just when there was still a mile or two to go——

In the direction of the Lin family, there was suddenly a loud shout of killing.

……
