Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 684 Fang Tianding: If the Fang family dies again, there will be no one left! [2 more]

Day three.

Wang Yin’s head has arrived.

At this time, Bangyuan Cave kept the death a secret. Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi stayed beside Fang La's body and cried until they were almost out of breath.

It was under such circumstances that the emperor's uncle Wang Fanghou personally delivered the head of Shangshu Wang Yin to the coffin.

"Rebel!"

Fang Jinzhi burst into tears at that moment, drew her sword, stepped forward, and split Wang Yin's head in half with one sword!

"His Majesty……"

Looking at Fang La's corpse, Fang Hu burst into tears and prostrated himself before Fang La's corpse:
"Minister, I'm sorry..."

"Second Master, this is not your fault!"

Fang Tianding and Fang Hou still have a very good relationship. Fang Hou even held him in his arms to comfort him a few days ago:

"It's all due to Fang's appearance!"

Fang Hu said nothing, but tears flowed like a spring.

After crying for a while, Fang Hu suddenly drew his sword and put it on his neck:

"Your Majesty, I am not strict with my subordinates!
“The beast Wang Yin was bribed and killed Your Majesty!
"I am ashamed of your majesty!
"Your Majesty, wait for me on the road to the underworld!"

"don't want--"

Fang Jie, Fang Tianding, Fang Jinzhi and the others couldn't help but scream.

However, Fang Hu had made up his mind!
With a "swish" of the sword, Fang Hu cut his own neck!
Blood spurted onto Fang La's body.

Fang Hu staggered twice and then fell on Fang La's body.

"grandfather--"

Fang Jie's eyes went dark and he passed out.

"Second Master——"

Fang Tianding and Fang Jinzhi were so shocked that they hurried forward to check Fang Hu's breath, but found that he was dead.

"What happened to our Fang family?"

Fang Tianding burst into tears:

Two people died in three days!

If more people die in the Fang family, there will be no one left!
"Ugh--"

Liu Gao shook his head and sighed:

Silly boy, the old man is here to apologize for his grandson!

If Liu Gao guessed correctly, it was not the Third Prince Fang Mao who bribed the Shangshu Wang Yin, but the Emperor's Uncle Prince Fang Hou who bribed the Feishan General Zhen Cheng!

In other words, the mastermind behind this was Fang Hu, who had just committed suicide!

Fang Hou sent Zhen Cheng with his assassins to assassinate Fang Tianding.

When this failed, he framed Fang Mao and sent Wang Yin to take advantage of the situation to assassinate Fang La and Fang Tianding.

If Zhen Cheng successfully assassinated Fang Tianding at Yuling Pass, Fang La would have no successor, and Fang Hu's grandson Fang Jie would become the heir.

If Wang Yin took advantage of the situation and assassinated Fang La and Fang Tianding, Fang Jie would still be the heir.

However, this combination of punches failed.

Because of Liu Gao, Fang Tianding survived twice in a row.

After Wang Yin was exposed, if Fang Hu did not take immediate measures, he would definitely be implicated.

At Fang Hu's age, it naturally doesn't matter. Everything he has is for his grandson Fang Jie.

So Fang Hu offered Wang Yin's head and his own head, using his death to clear himself.

He knew everything about Liu Gao's protection of Fang Jie, and he believed that Liu Gao would help Fang Jie clear his name.

Liu Gao and Fang Jie are friends for life and death.

Fang Jie was unaware of this, and the mastermind behind it, Fang Hu, committed suicide again...

Of course Liu Gao would clear Fang Jie's name:
"My dear uncle, because my subordinate, Shangshu Wang Yin, was bribed by the traitor Fang Mao to assassinate the Holy Lord, I felt so guilty that I committed suicide in front of the Holy Lord's spirit!
"The king's uncle was only guilty of carelessness in this matter. Now that he is dead, his guilt is absolved!

"The culprit for the death of the Holy Lord is the traitor Fang Mao!"

After the matter was concluded, Liu Gao looked at the civil and military officials:

"I am willing to offer a reward of ten thousand taels of silver for the head of the traitor Fang Mao!"

"I'll pay one hundred thousand taels!"

Fang Tianding, who was hugging Fang Hu and crying, suddenly screamed:
"I want Fang Mao dead!"

One hundred thousand taels of silver?
All the civil and military officials were immediately excited. Even for them, this was an astronomical figure!

You should know that the annual tribute paid by the Song Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty was only 200,000 taels of silver!
Fang Mao’s head is worth one hundred thousand taels!

Such an astronomical sum attracted everyone's attention, and they forgot Fang Hu's crime...

Awesome! You also snatched the opportunity to brag? Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:

After all, Fang Tianding is the real owner, so just rob him.

Then, Liu Gao's sharp eyes searched the crowd:

I haven't seen the double-gun general Dong Ping yet!

Where did this guy go?

……

"really?"

In Nanfeng Prefecture, King Wang Qing of Chu was overjoyed after hearing Fan Quan's report:

"There was a civil war in the South?"

"Exactly!"

Fan Quan said excitedly:

“Fang Mao led more than 30,000 rebels to attack Bangyuan Cave!

"I will immediately rush back to report to the king!
“No matter who wins or loses at this moment, the Southern Kingdom will surely suffer a heavy loss!
"If our army takes this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Bangyuan Cave and kill Fang La, then the Southern Kingdom will be easily within our grasp!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Wang Qing was so happy that his teeth were exposed.

Song Jiang was depressed, because the credit should have belonged to him!

It’s all Duan Sanniang’s fault for interfering!

Having missed one opportunity, Song Jiang didn't want to miss the next one.

So Song Jiang volunteered:

“Your Majesty!
"I am willing to lead 30,000 troops to attack Bangyuan Cave and take Fang La's head to present to the king!"

"Your Majesty!"

What Song Jiang didn't expect was that the fat man who was fat and strong came out and recommended himself:
"As long as I have 10,000 troops, I can launch a surprise attack on Bangyuan Cave and take Fang La's head to present to the king!"

Which birdman?

Song Jiang turned his head and saw that the fat and strong man was Duan Wu, the commander-in-chief of the army!

Not only is his official rank higher than Song Jiang, he is also Wang Qing's brother-in-law!

Ten thousand troops want to launch a surprise attack on Bangyuan Cave?

No, Wang Qing’s brother-in-law is not good enough either!
Song Jiang advised with good intentions:

“Commander-in-Chief Duan, 10,000 troops are too unsafe.

"What if there are soldiers coming to support the king..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Since Duan Wu dared to brag so much, he must have something to rely on. He looked at Du Fu with confidence:
"Commander Du, would you like to go with me?"

Du Fu was the tall and mighty man with a tiger head and round eyes who appeared after Li Zhu was taken away by Liu Gao.

Wang Qing's brother-in-law Duan Wudu had already called the generals, so Du Fu could only clasp his hands together:
"The general will go where he wishes!"

"it is good!"

Duan Wu laughed triumphantly:

"If Dudu and I join forces, who in the world can defeat us?"

Song Jiang: (_)
"Then you go!"

Wang Qing made the final decision:

"Wu Lang, I have 10,000 elite soldiers with you, and I look forward to your triumphant return with Commander Du!"

"According to the order!"

Duan Wu sneered and glanced at Song Jiang:
Song Jiang was very capable and he was doing very well in the State of Chu.

All the civil and military officials in the court would talk about timely rain and protect their rights when chatting after dinner.

This made Duan Wu very unhappy, as the Duan brothers should be the prominent figures in the State of Chu.

So Duan Wu decisively came out to grab the credit this time.

As for whether he could capture Bangyuan Cave, he brought the "Nine-headed Lion" Du Fu with him!
Du Fu, the "Nine-Headed Lion", was the most powerful general in the State of Chu. He was brave enough to defeat ten thousand men, but he couldn't take down Bangyuan Cave?

Song Jiang was angry but dared not speak.

There is no way, the Duan brothers are too powerful.

Even Wang Qing had to give them face, so who was Song Jiang?
Early the next morning, Duan Wu and Du Fu led an army of 10,000 and quickly left Nanfeng Prefecture.

However, Song Jiang met a strange man at the city gate.
