Chapter 199: 136 Promotion

Accompanied by the death of Chang Yishen!

His companions were even more vulnerable and were quickly eliminated by Lu Anfu, Luo Yunjin, and others.

Fang Zhixing also took part, standing in the distance with precise archery, easily killing two of them.

But the killing did not stop there.

There were too many rioters in the city, as many as tens of thousands!

Truthfully, even if there were thirty thousand pigs, it would take a long time to slaughter them all.

The infantrymen killed until their hands went soft, they became numb, and they were completely exhausted.

Luckily!

In front of the ruthless killing, after losing their leader, the rioters gradually collapsed and scattered in all directions.

Everyone finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Fang Zhixing sat on the steps, his gaze empty as he looked into the distance.

Xigou squatted beside him, looking at the streets littered with corpses and a river of blood.

Their emotions were inexplicably complex.

After a long while, Xigou spoke, "I just overheard that before Chang Yishen died, he told Luo Peiyun that it wasn’t Luo Kezhao he had killed."

Fang Zhixing’s eyes twitched slightly, his fist clenched, but then his expression quickly returned to normal.

Xigou hesitated, "Luo Peiyun is not a fool, do you think he might suspect...

Fang Zhixing answered, "Why panic? Although Luo Peiyun is very smart, he isn’t smart enough to figure out the whole truth at once.

To step back, whether what Chang Yishen said was true or false, Luo Peiyun probably can’t be completely sure right now."

Xigou thought about it too and sighed, "Alas, I asked you to hold back, but you ultimately couldn’t."

Fang Zhixing snorted, "When given too much face, even pigs think they’re lions.

I already gave Luo Kezhao too much face, but that fool kept seeking death, so he can’t blame me."

Xigou bitter-smiled, "He is a scion of a noble family; he despises you from his heart, it’s the disdain from someone superior, an insurmountable class gap. You can only endure it; resisting it could lead to unpredictable consequences."

Fang Zhixing disagreed, seriously saying, "I have never been someone who plays by the rules. The ones who make the rules often break them the most. After all, rules are just the shackles of the weak and a tool for the strong."

Xigou had nothing to say.

He knew Fang Zhixing’s personality very well.

Ever since Luo Kezhao targeted him, he must have been scheming on how to deal with him.

Previously, he had stayed in Qinglin County, on someone else’s turf, and had no good opportunity to make a move, so he had been patient.

Until last night, an opportunity suddenly appeared!

Xigou personally witnessed what it meant to have no more patience!

Xigou couldn’t help but sigh, "Though that’s true, once this matter is exposed, it’s not just Luo Peiyun you have offended, you might face an extermination from the entire Luo Family."

Fang Zhixing responded calmly, "When the ship reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself. You and I were born in turbulent times, always walking on thin ice.

Look at Luo Peiyun. This man is cold-blooded and ruthless. If one day he orders me to die, whether I killed Luo Kezhao or not, I will have a fallout with him and then become an enemy of the Luo Family, won’t I?"

Xigou was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, you’ve never had the upper hand in your relationship with Luo Peiyun."

In the midst of their mental exchange, Ding Zhigang and Lv Peipei came over, one on the left and one on the right, and sat down beside Fang Zhixing.

"Brother, I just asked the elder,"

Ding Zhigang rubbed the blood on his hands, "The elder said we will plunder the city for three days, collecting food and fodder while killing as many rioters as possible."

Fang Zhixing nodded, sighing, "We must do this, the granary has been burned, we don’t even have meals figured out for the next moment."

"Exactly!"

Ding Zhigang spread his hands, cursing, "Shi Xiangyang and Chang Yishen and their lot, are really moronic, they doomed themselves and dragged so many others down with them."

Lv Peipei pointed at the bodies strewn on the street, scolded, "If Shi Xiangyang had really surrendered at the beginning, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened at all."

Fang Zhixing raised his head, looking as the sun set in the west, the remaining sunlight scattering on the street, the fresh blood on the ground seemed to ignite, reflecting in everyone’s eyes.

...

...

Three days flew by!

Luo Peiyun and Luo Zhaodong each led their armies out of Qingguang County, heading back home.

By then, Qingguang County was in complete disarray.

"This city is already ruined..."

Fang Zhixing sighed quietly.

Xigou deeply agreed, responding, "Yes, after experiencing two upheavals and repeated plundering, even the most prosperous city can’t withstand such destruction."

The army marched quickly.

Luo Peiyun kept urging them on, everyone was nearly sprinting.

They had no choice.

The food and fodder they had collected were very limited, enough for only a day and a half.

The group first traveled by land, then boarded two warships, moving upstream.

Two days later, they finally hurried back to Qinglin County.

The soldiers entered the city on an empty stomach.

Luo Peiyun was quite generous, immediately rewarding everyone, allowing them to eat and drink freely for three days.

Meanwhile, the funeral arrangements for Luo Kezhao also began.

The steward Wen Yuwen took care of everything.

The day after they returned.

In the morning, Fang Zhixing, Ding Zhigang, and Wen Yudong the three people came to the study.

Luo Peiyun looked at the three of them, nodded, "You did well on this mission, especially Instructor Fang, who obtained an important piece of intelligence, deserved a hefty reward."

Fang Zhixing replied, "I serve you with no desire for rewards, only regretting my inability to protect the younger son."

Ding Zhigang and Wen Yudong also said, "We are inept, please, elder, take heart."

Luo Peiyun said indifferently, "What has happened has happened, it can only be chalked up to Kezhao being careless, no one else can be blamed. Let’s not talk about this anymore."
