I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 61, Orioles
The night wind howled, blowing the clouds up and down like waves, a round of bright moon, sometimes hidden in the dark clouds, sometimes revealed.

Under the night like a dark veil, the streets are empty and there are few people. Except for sporadic peace thieves patrolling the yamen, there is no one else.

The doors of every house were closed, and most of them had blown out their lights. Only a few of them had a dim light flickering like beans in the house.

It seemed extremely deserted.

In stark contrast, it was the direction of the Lin family, with a huge tide-like sound spreading in all directions.

"Has it already started?!"

Fang Rui tapped his toes, jumped high, swished twice on the wall, leaped straight to the eaves, and looked towards the direction of the Lin family.

Unlike the bleakness elsewhere in the city, over there, the flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of killing were deafening.It can also be seen that groups of Taiping troops, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the Lin Mansion one by one, scattered into the field like sparks.

"There is an order from above, today the Lin family will not leave chickens or dogs behind!"

"Kill kill kill!"

"Forgive me!"

……

Shouts of killing, begging for mercy, and clashes of swords and soldiers... all rang out together.

There were fights everywhere, flames everywhere, and idle fighters in all directions, overcoming walls and alleys, breaking into the Lin family to plunder, like pieces of twisted and invading shadows.

"Thousands of people beat the drum! At this time, the big ship of the Lin family hit a rock and sank. The enemies from the past, the remnants of the big family who fell into trouble, and the idle warriors who took advantage of the fire...all came!"

Looking at the shadowy figures, Fang Rui knew that more of them were people like him who wanted to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.

Of course, due to the constraints of the Lin family's terrain, it is difficult to use large armies, and individual warriors can fly over walls and maneuver flexibly, which is also the basis for fishing in troubled waters.

Whoa!
The night wind howled, carrying a strong smell of sweet and blood. Fang Rui stood with his hands behind his back, his robes were strong, and he looked down from a height.

I see:

Lin's dotted pavilions, terraces and pavilions, overlapping corridors and courtyards, divided the entire battlefield into trivial parts.

The Taiping Army suppressed and killed the family members and thugs of the Lin family; the guards of the Lin family fought with the Taiping army warriors and the Xia family warriors; the idle warriors competed with the Taiping army warriors...

A mess.

"It's a step late, but it's not too late! Soldier against soldier, general against general, so where is king against king?"

Fang Rui had just come up with this idea.

boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise.

In the center of the Lin family, probably in the lobby, three figures pierced through the roof and shot out like cannonballs, splashing a large amount of tiles, stones, mud and wood, and rolling down one after another.

"This is?!"

Fang Rui watched from afar, witnessing the aftermath of the fight between the three of them, with a distance of two or three feet, the cornices of a roof were blown up out of thin air.

"An Jin can only be three inches away from the body, and it is far from that powerful... Therefore, these three people must be fourth-rank warriors!"

"The old man with gray hair should be the old man of the Xia family; the middle-aged man like a lion should be Lin Xiong, the head of the Lin family; the other man who joined hands with the old man of the Xia family to besiege Lin Xiong is probably the fourth rank of the rebel army. Warrior... Li Xuantong?! But didn't he leave?"

As soon as this idea was born, Fang Rui vetoed it himself: "No! That's not Li Xuantong!"

"I heard that Li Xuantong is eight feet tall, five big and three thick. Even if it is exaggerated, the difference should not be too big, but the fourth-rank warrior of the rebel army is not short, but his body is thin, and it has absolutely nothing to do with being tall and mighty!"

Moreover, it was rumored that Li Xuantong was born with supernatural powers and was invincible at the same level. If it was really Li Xuantong, to deal with Lin Xiong, why would he need to join forces with the old man of the Xia family?
Fang Rui had a guess in his heart: "This fourth-rank warrior is probably a new breakthrough in the rebel army!" '

"That's right, after the rebel army broke through the county seat, they ransacked the homes of the big households in the city, obtained countless resources, and warriors with the limit of the fifth rank just used this resource to break through... It's not unreasonable..."

But Fang Rui still felt that something was wrong: "Is it so easy to break through the fourth-rank realm?!"

"Besides, Li Xuantong and his group don't give me the impression that they don't look like a refugee army at all!"

As we all know, peasant uprisings have their own limitations, such as the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... When they first started their business, there were few military think tanks, and there was no shortage of stupid tricks.

On the other hand, Li Xuantong——

Be wise and wise: subdue the bandits in Changshan, destroy the official army twice; after breaking through Changshan County, attack other counties at night...

Be ruthless and ruthless: kill all the refugees left in the siege to eliminate unstable factors; never relent when dealing with big households...

If you say that this person is a 'Xiaoxiong', you can barely explain the past.

But what about ruling?
After the Taiping thieves entered the city, they ransacked large households, divided land and food, settled cases and cleared up their injustices... They did it in full swing.

It's only been a few days, and the government orders are clear and one side is stable, which shows that there are great talents among them!
'That kind of talent shouldn't have appeared in the rebel army at this time, or it should have appeared too early. ' Fang Rui frowned and thought.

In troubled times, the sky is turned upside down, dragons and snakes rise from the land, such as aristocratic families, famous teachers and great talents, will bet on the truth.

But that also has to show a certain potential, at least, it is possible to occupy a place in a house.

However, where did Li Xuantong and his group go?
"Of course, the great talent among the peace thieves can be forcibly explained: a poor family, a chance encounter, a coincidence... This is not unreasonable, but it is a little deliberate."

In short, Fang Rui felt: there is a deep mystery in this rebel army.

Even, this new fourth product did not surprise him too much. On the contrary, there was a feeling of 'unreasonable and expected', which verified some of his intuition.

After verification.

Fang Rui became more and more afraid of the so-called 'peace bandits' and 'rebels'.

"Forget it, these have nothing to do with me, and this is not the time to think about them!"

Fang Rui suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, and he didn't intend to enter the Lin family and rob him or something.

It is said that it is on the periphery, it is on the periphery.

Moreover, he is not stupid, entering the Lin family to plunder, laborious, and possibly dangerous—maybe, a few middle-rank warriors will appear somewhere, or be involved in the battle of fifth-rank warriors!
Most importantly: the harvest is uncertain.

Instead, Fang Rui stayed outside, condescending, waiting for the rabbits, waiting for the idle fighters who entered the forest mansion to rob, and then went to rob, playing a hand of 'mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind', isn't it good?
Safe and worry free.

Of course, those idle fighters who entered the Lin Mansion to plunder are still struggling to search, and it is far from the time to return with a full load and come out.

"Don't worry, beating the sap requires patience... After all, the fat sheep are not full, so how do you get the wool from them?"

"Now, you can watch the battle first, and learn about the combat power of the fourth-rank warriors in advance..."

Fang Rui found a higher and hidden eaves, leisurely looked at the battlefield in the distance, and began to watch the battle.

……

The Lin family center complex.

Three figures were chasing and fighting between the eaves. Under the bright moonlight, their speed was so fast that it brought out a series of afterimages. Wherever they passed, bricks, tiles, mud and rocks rolled down like iron plows.

Just as Fang Rui guessed, the fourth-rank warrior of the Rebel Army was named Zuo Boyang, and he had recently broken through.

Among the three, Lin Xiong is in his prime, and his condition is at the peak; the old man of the Xia family is rich in experience, but old, with weak energy and blood; Zuo Boyang has just made a breakthrough, and his realm is unstable.

Therefore, Lin Xiong can still maintain the latter two against one.

The old man of the Xia family made a move, and the dark dragon-headed crutch in his hand flew, and at the same time, he was able to separate his mind and say: "Patriarch Lin, you didn't leave, I admire you!"

Even if he knew, Lin Xiong was not easy to leave because his own goals were too big, and the eyes of the Xia family and the rebel army were watching him...

But even so, with the opponent's fourth-rank strength, it is not impossible to leave the family alone and leave alone.

However, Lin Xiong resolutely chose to stay and gave up the chance of escape in order to survive the family, to attract the attention of the Xia family and the Taiping thieves, and to let the younger generation break out of the encirclement.

"Haha, why am I, Lin Xiong, afraid of dying?"

Lin Xiong laughed loudly and said: "It's just that the villain sows dissension and makes your family sacrifice the city, but I am not willing! Mr. Xia, are you willing to endure this scheme?"

"Why don't you take advantage of Li Xuantong's absence, and you and my family join forces to destroy Zuo Boyang, drive out the Taiping bandits, and rule Changshan City together! Then search the whole city to find the thief who caused chaos in the dark. , wouldn't it be nice?"

"Bold! When death is imminent, you dare to speak out?!"

Before the old lady of the Xia family could reply, Zuo Boyang, a rank four martial artist in the rebel army, yelled loudly and stepped up his attack when he heard this slanderous words.

"That's right, Patriarch Lin doesn't need to sow discord, old man, I have my own discretion...Since I have joined the rebel army, my Xia family must follow the lead of General Xuantong!"

The old man of the Xia family knew he was on a pirate ship, so he couldn't get off.

Moreover, he will investigate the person who delivered the wooden planks and plotted against the Xia family, so why bother Lao Linxiong?

at this time.

In order to show his loyalty, the old man of the Xia family also intensified his offensive, leaving Lin Xiong at a loss for a while, obviously at a disadvantage, and couldn't tell his mind to speak anymore.

……

'Cut into pieces, cut into pieces by five horses?Good guy!I'm hated like that?Thanks for keeping it well hidden! '

Fang Rui thought to himself, watching the battlefield from a distance, thankful that he had acted cautiously in the past, with clean hands and no tails.

After a while.

"what?"

Fang Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at one place: "The looting warriors have come out? The mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. The time has come, it's time for me to go out!"

……

boom!
A masked warrior jumped out from the top of the Lin family's wall, the machete in his hand was still dripping with blood, and the burden on his back was bulging, obviously he had gained a lot.

"Robbery!" But an unexpected visitor suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Um?!"

The masked warrior frowned: "The Lin family is destroyed today, and there are countless gold, silver, jade, martial arts and martial arts. Why don't you take it yourself? Do you want to embarrass me here?"

"That's why we can't agree!"

Fang Rui didn't say any more, and drew the knife with a bang. The whole movement had an indescribable charm under the moonlight.

If someone who is proficient in swordsmanship is here, they will definitely notice something is wrong, and I am afraid that they will confess and kneel on the spot.

But this masked martial artist didn't have that kind of vision: "What a thief, talk nicely to you, do you really think grandpa is made of mud?!"

With a sneer, he rushed forward with the machete in his hand like a roc spreading its wings.

However, what greeted this person was a knife.

There is nothing fancy about this knife, only: fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Swish!
The two passed by.

Fang Rui retracted the knife with a click.

Behind him, on the neck of the masked warrior, a red line emerged, and the human skull rolled down, leaving only the headless corpse. After running forward a few steps, he fell to the ground with a bang in the blood.

This person's head rolled over, and the Gebu covering his face fell off, revealing his true face.

"Well, this person?!"

Fang Rui found out that he still knew this person, he had met him once, and it was exactly: He Juntou.

——That is: after the Taiping thieves besieged the city, the eighth-rank warrior who came here and wanted to accept the third lady, the former military leader of the Dayu government.

"This is really...where in life do we not meet each other?!"

Fang Rui didn't have any friendship with He Juntou, so he just sighed and started to search for the loot.

Things hastily checked, but he didn't take a closer look at it. The burden was rolled, and then he left here, returned to the hidden eaves, and began to wait for rabbits again.

Just like that, watching all directions and listening to all directions, he successfully robbed three or four waves in no time.

All of a sudden, he harvested so much that he couldn't fit it on his body, so he had to pick up light cheat books and put them on his body. Gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc. were packed first, and he found a place to hide them.

Not long after.

"Finally caught a wave of big fish!"

Fang Rui looked at a residential building.

There, about a mile away from the Lin Mansion, in the backyard of an ordinary residential building, a group of people suddenly came out of the tunnel, and they climbed over the wall and were about to leave.

Fang Rui swept across his body and ran over without a sound. When he was only a few tens of meters away from the opponent, he suddenly paused and held his breath.

'It seems that I am not the only one who is eyeing this wave of big fish!Hey, there are many acquaintances in this big fish? ' His heart moved.

……

"Lin Feng, third son Lin, you really made me wait!" A playful voice sounded.

good!The big fish that came out of this wave was Fang Rui's acquaintance - Lin Feng. Behind him, there were twin personal maids who had met once, and Yuan Da was also included in the bodyguard.

And those who surrounded Lin Feng and others were the eldest son of the Xia family, as well as warriors from the Xia family and the rebel army.

"Xia Yunzhao, why are you here?!"

Lin Feng's face changed drastically. However, he was not stupid, and he realized in an instant that there was a spy in his family, so he turned his head and looked behind him.

Two steps behind him, the twin personal maids, Qing'er and Yu'er, all turned pale, and said, "Master, I'll be damned!"

at the same time.

puff!

As if they were ready, they stabbed their daggers into their chests and committed suicide.

"Qing'er, Yu'er, how could it be you?!"

Lin Feng was about to burst into tears, never expecting that the problem came from these two people beside the pillow.

But at this moment, there was no time or thought to think about it: "After all the nursing homes are closed, Uncle Quan, you take me away!"

"Yes!"

……

Leaving all the guards behind to block Xia Yunzhao and his party, the man called 'Uncle Quan' led Lin Feng and jumped onto the wall without any hesitation, and rushed away.

"Scrap! Trash!"

Xia Yunzhao glanced at the corpse of the twin maids with disgust: "Their family members don't need to stay after that...the others stay, Uncle Fu and Uncle Shou, let's go and see Third Young Master Lin for a ride!"

……

'sharp!That Xia Yunzhao of the Xia family turned against Lin Feng's personal maid, this is really amazing!I don’t know what kind of grievances and hatreds there are, the Tauren plot...'

Fang Rui shook his head, got rid of his thoughts, and looked at the three Yuan Da who had fled and chased here.

prior to.

Yuan Da stayed behind, but he didn't stay where he was foolishly. He also wanted to break through, but he was entangled by three seventh-rank warriors. After killing one with a saber technique, he was also injured and was chased by the other two. kill.

At this time, while fighting and fleeing, dangers abound.

'not good! '

Yuan Dage blocked a sword, but the other person's sword was cut across the sky.

Right at this moment-

Swish!Swish!
From nowhere, two machetes flew over.

One of the machetes collided with the knife that was cut across the sky, and missed it, allowing Yuan Da to seize the opportunity to stab the sword warrior; the other flying machete pierced through another sword warrior. chest.

At this point, the remaining two seventh-rank warriors were all wiped out.

call!
Yuan Da took a deep breath, clasped his fists, and looked at the dark alley around him: "I don't know which expert will come to the rescue, can you show up and see?"

After the words fell, after three or five breaths, there was still silence, only the sound of Night Breeze screaming and howling.

People who know each other don't want to meet each other.

Yuan Da sighed in his heart, arranged his robe, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed his head three times before getting up and saying: "Thank you for your help, my master. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will repay today's kindness!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the horizontal knife in his hand and strode away.

As for the Lin family?

The death of the queen just now can be regarded as "death once", which is enough to repay the Lin family's kindness over the years.

……

"Very good, Yuan Da's favor, this is repayment."

At the beginning, in the black market, Lin Feng wanted to find Fang Rui, and it was Yuan Da who mentioned the inside information.

——Whether Yuan Da had a slight fondness for him, or he just took it easy because of his superiority, in short, Fang Rui remembered that favor.

And the shot just now, even if it is repaid!

As for after?

Fang Rui couldn't control it anymore. Whether Yuan Da escaped successfully or was caught up again, it had nothing to do with him. He lived and died at his own risk.

"I have paid back the favor from Yuan Da's side. On Lin Feng's side, it is time to pay back the original debt!"

Fang Rui walked quickly on top of the wall, looking at the two figures not far in front of him.

……

"Young master, hurry up, someone is coming to meet you not far ahead, and we will be able to escape immediately!" Uncle Quan's voice was full of joy.

"Okay! Uncle Quan, don't worry, after today's calamity, I will not treat you badly..."

As expected, he received an elite education since he was a child. At this time, Lin Feng is still instinctively drawing cakes.

only.

At this time, he was panting violently, his forehead was beaded with sweat, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the temperament of "a son like jade" in the past, which greatly weakened the persuasiveness of this statement.

Just when the two were happy——

Swish!
On the wall in front of him, a masked figure landed. He was dressed fiercely, drew a knife, and looked over with a pair of icy eyes.

At that time, the wind was howling, the dark clouds covered the bright moon, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was the murderous night of joy and hatred!
