Chapter 375: 223 Empty City_2

Just at that moment, there was a creaking sound.

Wang Jiayun walked out and hurried to Fang Zhixing’s side, glanced at the young man, and slightly furrowed her brows.

As soon as the young man saw Wang Jiayun’s appearance, he was stunned as if seeing a Heavenly Person, his eyes fixed on her.

Fang Zhixing turned his head and asked, "Have you heard of the Red Axe Gang?"

Wang Jiayun replied, "The Red Axe Gang is the largest gang in Yulan County, quite famous."

Upon hearing this, the young man snapped back to reality, raised his axe, and struck a menacing pose, exclaiming, "Let me go right now, or my axe here might not be very selective!"

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but laugh and asked, "Why haven’t you escaped the county yet? Don’t tell me you were abandoned by the Red Axe Gang?"

The young man’s face flushed red with embarrassment and anger, he retorted, "Nonsense! The Gang Leader himself ordered me to stay behind in the county, to lie low and wait."

Upon hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Fang Zhixing, completely uninterested, waved his hand, "Get lost."

Xigou immediately opened the door.

The young man, doubtful but cautious, backed towards the door, turned, and ran, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Sigh, turns out he’s just a little fool!"

Xigou sighed wordlessly.

They closed the door and returned to their room to sleep.

Suddenly, it was dawn.

The two men and the dog got up early, had some dry food to fill their stomachs, and then drove off.

Who would have thought that upon opening the door, they would find a beggar curled up in the corner of the wall outside.

Hearing the door open, the beggar woke up groggily, immediately perked up, and scurried over.

Wang Jiayun glanced at the young man from the Red Axe Gang, frowning, "Why is it you again?"

The young man scratched his head and grinned stupidly, "Sister, I too want to leave the county. Could you give me a lift?"

Wang Jiayun blinked her eyes, chuckling, "Do you know where we are going to let us give you a lift?"

The young man assertively replied, "It doesn’t matter where, I’ll go wherever you go."

Wang Jiayun hesitated, glanced at the carriage behind her.

Fang Zhixing did not speak, her face turning cold, she shook her head, "Go wherever you want," she snapped the reins.

The carriage wheels began to roll.

The carriage quickly left the city and sped along the official road.

Wang Jiayun looked back, and suddenly her expression changed.

The young man was running wildly, following behind the carriage.

Seeing this, Wang Jiayun flicked the whip, urging the horse to run faster, galloping ahead.

Gradually, the young man was left far behind, disappearing from sight.

Wang Jiayun silently breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to drive the carriage at a normal speed.

Around noon, the carriage stopped by the roadside.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou got out of the carriage, sat by the roadside to have some lunch, and let the horse rest for a while.

Suddenly, as Fang Zhixing turned his head, his pupils constricted, his gaze fixed on the road they came from.

"What’s the matter?"

Xigou tilted his head to look.

The next instant, he sprang to his feet, a look of disbelief on his dog face.

They saw in the distance a person running towards them, initially just a black dot, but the image soon became clear—it was unmistakably the young man from the Red Axe Gang.

"Damn it!"

Xigou exclaimed in astonishment, "What’s with this kid, a long-distance runner?"

By then, Wang Jiayun had also turned around, and upon seeing the young man, her mouth fell open in disbelief.

The young man ran up to them, panting heavily, and exclaimed, "Finally, finally caught up with you."

Fang Zhixing slowly stood up, his eyes suddenly turning blood red, staring intensely at the young man.

"Qi-Blood strength not high, just an ordinary person?"

Fang Zhixing furrowed his brows, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped at the air.

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of wind arose!

The young man was instantly blown away, screaming, tracing a high arc through the air, and then plunging into a small stream by the roadside.

Splash!

Water splashed high.

"Let’s go."

Fang Zhixing decisively jumped onto the carriage, taking the reins himself.

Xigou and Wang Jiayun were a beat slower but quickly climbed aboard.

Clip-clop, clip-clop~

The carriage galloped away, stirring up dust along the road.

About two hours later, the carriage quickly arrived at the county.

The county of Xiahe County was far less prosperous than Qinghe County, with the city’s size only half that of Qinghe County.

The county had not yet been breached by rebels, but refugees from all regions swarmed in, causing unimaginable chaos.

The city gates had been closed early on, allowing exit but no entry.

Fang Zhixing had originally planned to cross through the county, but seeing the situation, he knew he must take a detour.

This detour might add three to four days to his journey.

So!

Fang Zhixing, deciding to act decisively, simply abandoned the carriage and started strolling around the city walls.

Seeing this, Wang Jiayun couldn’t help but ask, "Hero, are you thinking of climbing over the city wall into the city?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Climbing over the wall isn’t difficult, I could even force my way into the city and then leave, but I don’t want to draw too much attention."

Wang Jiayun’s breath paused as she stared deeply at Fang Zhixing.

Gradually, the sun set into dusk.

The guards on the city wall began to change shifts.

Seizing this opportunity, Fang Zhixing reached out his hand.

Wang Jiayun’s face flushed, and she moved closer to him.

Fang Zhixing embraced her, lifting her up with his arm under her buttocks.

Wang Jiayun breathed a bit heavily, wrapping her arms around Fang Zhixing’s neck, her face turning as red as a ripe apple, tempting to behold.

With his right hand holding Wang Jiayun and his left grasping Xigou’s back neck, Fang Zhixing stomped his foot and leapt up.

Bang!

The ground burst open.

The two people and the dog jumped onto the city wall, and then, with a flick of their toes, they climbed further up and floated down beyond the city wall.

The entire process was accomplished in one breath, smooth and undisturbed.

Soon, they emerged from an alley onto a main street.

Suddenly, the pedestrians on the street cast astonished glances, captivated by Xigou.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing took out a rope from his bag and formed a lasso.

Seeing this, Xigou exclaimed in horror, "What, what are you going to do?"

Fang Zhixing replied seriously, "Walking a dog without a leash is very unethical."

"Get lost!"

Xigou flatly refused, unable to tolerate a rope tied around his own neck.

Fang Zhixing chuckled coldly and shook the lasso, advising, "Don’t blame me; it’s your eye-catching appearance that’s at fault."

Xigou bared his teeth and said, "You might as well kill me and just carry one of my ears with you."

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "How could I bear to hurt you? A true man can bend and stretch, just endure this minor discomfort."

Xigou immediately got goose bumps all over his body.

Before long, Fang Zhixing was striding boldly on the main street, full of vigor.

In his hand, he led a giant wolf that followed dejectedly behind, its face full of shame.

A moment later...

They entered a restaurant, sat down in the main hall, and ordered a table full of delicious food and drink.

"Oh, so you’re here."

Suddenly, a young boy ran to the table, wiping the sweat from his forehead and sat down as if he owned the place.

Fang Zhixing’s heart grew alert, Xigou widened his eyes, and Wang Jiayun’s expression stiffened.

The young member of the Blood Axe Gang had appeared again, clinging like a persistent disease.

Fang Zhixing put down his chopsticks and asked lightly, "Who exactly are you, young man?"

The boy scratched his head, showing a naïve smile, "I don’t have a big name; the Gang Leader gave me a name called ’Little Axe’."

Fang Zhixing paused for a moment, then calmly said, "Little Axe, let’s speak plainly, what do you really want?"

The boy grinned, showing his big white teeth, and cheerfully said, "I don’t want much, just to walk with you guys."

Fang Zhixing made no comment, silently picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating and drinking.

Seeing this, Xigou communicated telepathically, "This kid is too creepy, is he a Martial Arts expert?!"

Fang Zhixing replied, "I don’t know, my Red Blood Eyes can’t see through him."

Xigou was struck with horror and muttered quietly, "Damn, just minding our own business, how did we get into trouble with such a character?"

Little Axe tilted his head, gazing foolishly at Wang Jiayun, staring so intensely that Wang Jiayun wrinkled her delicate brows, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing spoke up, "Let’s stay over in the city tonight."

Wang Jiayun quickly agreed, "Alright, Hero, I heard the best inn in town is ’Cuizhu Pavilion’."

Fang Zhixing nodded slightly, responding, "Okay, let’s stay there then."
