The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 59 Siege and Killing
'Lei Qing.'

After leaving the Huahong dark room and returning to the square, Fang Xun pondered over the name.

During the day, outside the Fujiang Building, he and Lei Qing looked at each other and felt hostility from each other at that time.

But at that time he just thought that he was hindering the other party's future. Besides, he would not stay in the army for long, and he would enter the Six Gates in two or three months.

As long as we make it clear to Lei Qing that there is actually no conflict of interest between the two of us.

But now Lei Qing actually placed his own order in the film market, and it’s not about killing but capturing alive!
Even killing Fang Xun was understandable. If he died, the obstacle that prevented Lei Qing from getting promoted would no longer exist.

But now the requirement on the list is to kidnap and capture alive?
There must be something on me that the other party covets.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xun's eyes turned to the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Could it be that he wants this jade pendant? Haha, if that's the case, Lei Qing might also have a coded account book."

While he was thinking, Fang Man suddenly jumped in front of Fang Xun from somewhere, still with a playful and familiar look on his face.

"Brother Xun, everything has been done for you!"

Fang Xun looked up and saw Fang Man handing over a package with both hands, along with two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels.

Fang Xun took the package but did not take the banknote. Fang Man was stunned: "Xun brother, what are you doing?"

After taking a look at Fang Man, Fang Xun said expressionlessly, "Thirty hollow grasses for fifteen hundred taels of silver. This price is fair. It's your own ability to have some extra money. If you give it to me, it will be a different story!"

Fang Xun's target price for thirty hollow grasses was 1,500 taels, but Fang Man bought them for only 1,300 taels.

There are two hundred taels left, and the meaning of whether he accepts it or not is very different.

If he accepted it, it would mean that Fang Man was helping Fang Xun and giving him two hundred taels of silver as a gift.

Fang Xun is not averse to having connections with all kinds of people.

But Fang Mancai was so flattering to me the first time he met me. I couldn't just take the money without knowing the whole story.

Fang Man also quickly figured it out, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Xun brother, don't you know that this is all what your foster father wanted?"

Fang Xun became curious when he heard this: "Does your foster father want to ask for something?"

Fang Man shook his head and said with a smile: "Xun brother, you misunderstood. I only ask you to do something for two hundred taels of silver. This is too much of a disrespect to you. I just want to make a friend."

Fang Xun said calmly: "It's not easy to make friends. Don't you think two hundred taels of silver is a little too cheap?"

Seeing that the other party refused to give in, Fang Man stopped talking in clichés and finally spoke some useful information.

“Xun’er, you don’t know that my godfather actually planned to change his career two years ago.

In the past two years, my godfather has already opened three restaurants and two gambling dens on Qinglin Street in the south of the city, and next month a fourth restaurant will open for business. After all, it is impossible for a person to live his whole life by stealing. Don’t you agree with this?”

After hearing this, Fang Xun smiled and took the two hundred taels of silver from the other party.

"If your godfather is really as you said, then this friend is worth making!"

Fang Man was right. It was impossible for a person to live his whole life by stealing, especially an old hand like Tan Chong.

Although he started his business by relying on his third hand in his early years, after so many years, he has become strong and has accumulated a lot of savings.

If you continue to make a living by stealing, you will get your feet wet if you walk by the river often.

Now is not the early stage of entrepreneurship when you need to make aggressive expansion. It is normal to want to be stable and have the idea of ​​changing careers.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fang Xun has a bright future in the Six Gates of Guangling Prefecture, so it is normal for Tan Chong to want to make friends with him.

Nowadays, no matter whether you are in gangs or doing business, who would complain that you have few friends in the officialdom?
From this perspective, Fang Man’s previous behavior makes sense.

Seeing Fang Xun finally accept the money, Fang Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said, "Brother Xun, our fourth restaurant of Six Fingers Hall will open next month. I hope you can come and support us."

"I will definitely come then."

After saying this, he seemed to remember something and pointed to the jade pendant on his waist.

But before Fang Xun could say anything, he suddenly saw Fang Man's face froze for a moment after he looked at the jade pendant, but immediately returned to his usual smiling face, as if it was an illusion.

Fang Xun didn't think much about it and said to Fang Man, "This jade pendant came from a pawnshop in the south of the city. I want to know through whose hands it passed before being sold to the pawnshop. If you can do it well, I will reward you handsomely." He learned this from Lian Teng. Now, if he asked Fang Man, a local tyrant who also roamed in the south of the city, to investigate, he might be able to find some clues about the Dongfang family.

Fang Xun felt that this family had an unclear relationship with the Blood Demon Cult and that perhaps some of its members were not completely wiped out.

The Zhou family, from which his biological father came, had prepared a way out for themselves a whole year in advance, which was why the Zhou family bloodline was able to continue for him.

He didn't know whether the Dongfang family had prepared a backup plan. Maybe they didn't. Fang Xun would just investigate when he was free and wouldn't put all his energy on it.

After Fang Man took the banknote, he patted his chest and assured, "Xun brother, that's not right. There's no need to reward me for something that's easy to do. I guarantee that I'll give you a satisfactory answer in three days at most!"

Fang Xun nodded and walked towards the entrance of the film city.

"Brother Xun, walk slowly!"

Fang Man shouted behind him, then seemed to remember something and immediately ran behind him and whispered something.

"Brother Xun, many people here look at you with strange eyes. They are saying that you have a master's secret skill. You must be more careful when you go out."

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled playfully and said, "Thank you. I will be careful."

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Fang Man and left.

After Fang Man watched his back disappear, he saw a guy in black clothes and a mask, with a basketball-sized meteor hammer hanging around his waist, hurriedly entering the entrance cave.

At this time, a deep voice sounded behind him: "All kinds of monsters and demons have emerged. You have a pretty good eye."

Fang Man turned around and saw the dark-skinned Zhang Feng sneering at the back of the man in black as he left.

Although fighting is prohibited in the movie city, it is no longer a matter of concern once you leave the movie city.

The moon is bright outside now, it's a perfect time for murder and arson!

"There will be something exciting to watch soon."

After saying that, he ignored Fang Man and walked straight towards the entrance of the cave.

Fang Man looked at Zhang Feng's back as he left, and after hesitating for a while, he took a step forward and decided to follow him to see what was going on.

After he left, many people nearby who had heard the previous conversation followed him with flickering eyes.

Fang Xun had no idea what was happening in the square. He walked alone in the dimly lit cave, ignoring the guy following him with a huge meteor hammer.

The passage was not long, and soon he reached the exit of the cave and stepped onto the platform on the mountainside.

As soon as he came out, he saw four figures standing in the middle of the platform.

Three of them were wearing black clothes and masks, while the other one was a man in tight clothes and short hair who was not wearing a mask.

The three men in black looked at Fang Xun with fiery eyes, especially when they saw the jade pendant with the word "East" engraved on his waist, their breathing became rapid.

However, the strong-dressed man had a calm look in his eyes and a smile on his face, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After seeing this, Fang Xun took a few more steps forward, stopped five meters away from the four people, and said calmly: "Four of you, make way?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air behind him.

The chains were stirring, the wind was blowing wildly, and the huge meteor hammer, with the force of thunder, slammed towards Fang Xun's back!

As if they had received some kind of signal, three men in black instantly rushed towards Fang Xun from the left, right and front, leaving the strong-suited man still standing there with a smile on his face, motionless.

I saw the man on the left grabbing with an eagle claw, and the grab was so sharp and fast that even the steel plate would be broken into pieces.

The man in front stabbed with a sword, and the sword light was an inch long. It was so fast that it turned into a terrifying thin line.

The man on the right had a sword in his hand that was so dazzling that he slashed out with it, like a spring thunder, and went straight for Fang Xun's head.

The four of them were all veterans who had been in the underworld for a long time. Once they decided to take action, they did not hesitate at all and unleashed their most ruthless methods without even saying a word.

Four deadly attacks came from the front, back, left and right to surround and kill Fang Xun.

His eyelids twitched, as if he sensed a threat.
