Chapter 399: Charge of 236

Hearing Hong Ran’s heartfelt words, full of earnest sincerity, Fang Zhixing was slightly absent-minded.

But he quickly recovered and said calmly, "In the deep of night, we will escape the city and directly leave Xiahe County."

With a worried look, Hong Li asked, "Master, the army is surrounding the city, and our five have low martial strengths, how can we escape?"

Fang Zhixing had already planned for this and said with a smile, "Yulan County is so large, the army’s numbers are finite after all, they can’t possibly block every corner.

I had surveyed the four city walls earlier and found that the western wall outside is a steep, densely forested slope with complex terrain, and fewer soldiers are deployed there for patrols."

"Taking advantage of the night, we can completely leave from there without making a sound."

Upon hearing this, Hong Li couldn’t help but smile contentedly, "So master had a strategy in place already, all of us sisters will definitely follow you closely."

Fang Zhixing smiled in satisfaction, his gaze turning towards the door.

Night fell, enveloping the earth.

The deadly quiet Yulan County fell into darkness.

In the city’s streets and alleys, wisps of gray smoke emerged from nowhere, swirling and tumbling endlessly, resembling gray snakes slithering about.

Fang Zhixing sat relaxedly in his chair, with Hong Ran and Hong Sha each clinging to one of his arms, snuggling in his embrace, faces filled with joyous smiles.

The night deepened gradually.

Fang Zhixing lifted his head, calculated the time, and realized it was almost dawn.

"Let’s go!"

He rose from his chair and walked towards the door.

The five beauties followed him in step.

Suddenly, Hong Li glanced at the adjacent room and asked, "Master, what about those two noble young masters?"

Fang Zhixing responded, "Once the army enters the city, they will naturally rescue them."

Hong Li nodded, understanding.

Hong Ran smiled lightly, "What about them, let’s just go our way."

Fang Zhixing nodded with a smile, and led the five beauties out of the house.

The group walked in the dark.

Fang Zhixing had already explored the escape routes, leading the way with familiarity.

The five beauties held hands, following closely behind him.

About ten minutes later, they reached the western city wall.

Fang Zhixing tiptoed lightly and easily jumped onto the city wall, scanning the outside for a while.

Then he jumped back down, spreading his arms.

Hong Ran, understanding, hugged Fang Zhixing voluntarily.

Hong Sha also moved to hug him but was pushed aside by Hong Li who took the lead.

Fang Zhixing chuckled, lifted Hong Ran and Hong Li, and soared into the air, directly leaping over the city wall to land outside.

Then he jumped again, leaping over the wall and lightly landed inside.

Hong Mei and Hong Sha immediately rushed into his arms.

Only Hong Lu, a step slower, pouted, her face full of grievance.

Fang Zhixing chuckled and gently pinched Hong Lu’s cheek to comfort her.

Then he lifted Hong Mei and Hong Sha, leaped over the wall, and set them down.

After transporting four people effortlessly,

Fang Zhixing paused, looked around to ensure their safety, and then jumped back inside the wall again.

Hong Lu, eagerly waiting, rushed into his arms without delay.

Fang Zhixing smiled and lifted her in a princess carry.

Just as he was about to jump, clang clang~

Unexpectedly, the sound of a bell jingling came from somewhere, noisy and conspicuous.

Fang Zhixing was startled and scanned his surroundings, listening intently.

Hong Lu suddenly said, "That sounds like Hong Li’s bell."

"Hong Li?"

Fang Zhixing blinked, frowning, as he had never noticed a bell on Hong Li before.

Throughout their time together, he had never heard the bell ring.

Hong Lu continued, "That bell of Hong Li’s is specially made; it only rings when she wants it to ring, otherwise no matter how it shakes, it won’t make a sound."

Fang Zhixing understood and exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that Hong Li and the others are in danger?"

With that thought, he dared not delay any longer and surged upward in a swift motion.

Despite his urgency, he did not directly jump over the wall but landed on it, carefully observing the outside.

His Red Blood Pupils scanned beneath the wall.

With this look!

Fang Zhixing’s heart lurched, beneath the wall, at the spot where he had left Hong Ran and the others, now only two figures remained, lying on the ground, bleeding.

Through his Red Blood Pupils, he could only see the Qi-Blood and smoke but couldn’t make out who it was.

He immediately jumped down and, looking closely, saw Hong Ran and Hong Sha lying on the ground.

Hong Ran had a patch of red blood on her chest, blood gushing out.

She clutched her chest, her face pale, continuously vomiting blood.

Hong Sha was even worse off, her neck slashed, obviously beyond saving.

Fang Zhixing’s breath halted, he quickly lifted Hong Ran, asking, "Who did this to you?"

"Uh... ugh..."

Hong Ran could no longer speak, spitting blood, struggling to lift her hand, pointing in a direction.

Then, her hand fell weakly, and she collapsed into Fang Zhixing’s arms, closing her eyes.

Fang Zhixing inhaled sharply, his eyes cold as he looked in the direction Hong Ran had pointed.

Behind a large tree, four figures emerged.

Fang Zhixing recognized them instantly, they were Luo Lifu, Sui Jiefu, Hong Li, and Hong Mei.

At this moment, Hong Li was arrogantly smirking, her face full of cold laughter.

Hong Mei bowed her head, her face showing shame.

Fang Zhixing set down Hong Ran, his face no longer showing shock or anger, and calmly looked at Luo Lifu and the others, speaking softly, "Prefectural Governor, when did they start working for you?"

Luo Lifu sneered, "From the beginning, they were my people. I promised them freedom, wealth, and Cultivation Techniques, so naturally, they sided with me."

Fang Zhixing showed no sign of surprise, nodded, and asked, "If so, why did Hong Ran and Hong Sha have to die?"
