Zhang Rongfang glanced at Huang Zhenyi, sighed, and waved his hand.
Among the assassins, Wei Li slowly emerged, also covered in blood, her pretty face pale.
Upon reaching Huang Zhenyi, Wei Li paused, then suddenly drew her short sword and slashed it fiercely across Huang's neck.
They cleanly and swiftly severed his head.
Thud! A muffled sound suddenly rang out.
Something suddenly exploded on Huang Zhenyi's body.
Wei Li hurriedly covered her face and retreated, but still let out a painful groan as countless Iron Needle struck her arms and body.
Several Golden Wing Tower assassins nearby were also unable to dodge in time and were shot down on the spot due to bad luck.
Zhang Rongfang raised his hand and knocked away two flying Iron Needle.
He was more than ten meters away from Huang Zhenyi, and his strength had already waned after the Iron Needle flew over.
If he hadn't been careful and gone forward to listen to that so-called secret, it would probably be him, not Wei Li, who would be caught in the trap now.
"Non-Self hadn't witnessed Huang Yuzhen's methods before, I probably would have been fooled by you."
With a sigh, Zhang Rongfang waved his hand again, and several more people stepped forward to take the injured Wei Li away to treat her wounds.
Wei Li was wearing high-grade leather armor, which also protected her face, so her arms were badly injured, while her body only had minor injuries.
"My lord." Qing Su also stepped out of the crowd at this moment, watching Wei Li being led away with a complicated expression.
"From now on, you are the new White Eagle here. I will choose another person to partner with you later," Zhang Rongfang said softly.
"Yes." Qing Su nodded.
"If Duan Gu Tong Xin recovers, he will be reinstated to his original position. As for White Eagle Xiangling, since he enjoys betraying his own people, he can stay and live or die with the Huang Family."
Soon, two of Duan Gu's henchmen leaders stepped forward.
They were all capable assistants before the Duan Gu, and now they have automatically been promoted one level to carry out the main orders. This is also the rule of the Death Warrior System.
The assassin dragged Xiang Ling, whose mouth was full of blood, and carelessly threw her into the Huang Family's main residence, which was gradually burning.
"Break her limbs, don't let her escape," Zhang Rongfang gave as his final order.
He then looked up at the sky.
The drizzle could not stop the wood and brick building, which had been doused with Fire Oil, from burning.
Soon, amidst screams, Qing Su personally broke all four of his limbs before turning back to Zhang Rongfang's side.
"I'm leaving." Zhang Rongfang ignored him and turned to walk out the door.
This time, he won because of his speed and because his opponent underestimated him. But after this, his true strength will be fully exposed to the various factions.
It won't be as effective next time.
But it's okay.
Next time, he will definitely not be the same person he is now.
"Oh, right, don't forget to move the money." He suddenly remembered something and quickly turned around to instruct Qing Su.
"It took quite a bit of good stuff to bribe both the prefect and the Shangguan Family to keep them neutral."
"I understand," Qing Su suddenly felt relieved.
The Zhang Rongfang of the past was becoming increasingly unfamiliar to her, and she even found herself unable to understand him, which filled her with fear.
But a single sentence at that moment instantly dispelled much of her fear.
"In addition, quite a few members of the Huang Family escaped. You will be responsible for cleaning them up later."
"Don't touch Sea Dragon's other strongholds for now," Zhang Rongfang instructed.
Like the Golden Wing Tower, the Sea Dragon has a superior department. It is not a small, independent force.
The Huang Family is a case of "if they're wiped out, they're wiped out."
But Sea Dragon is different. He also has to consider other implications. If he wipes out the opponent, and a Super Grade comes down from above, the situation will instantly reverse.
It's not time yet. ***March 1185.
The Huang Family of Wushan Prefecture was wiped out overnight.
Meanwhile, the human trafficking organization Sea Dragon also suffered a major blow, and its leader Qing Jiao disappeared.
The number of thugs who used to commit crimes and roam the streets has also decreased significantly.
The Government Office announced numerous charges against the Huang Family for colluding with Sea Dragon to abduct and traffic innocent women.
It was also stated that after receiving a tip from an informant, the Government Office concentrated its manpower and decisively destroyed the Sea Dragon organization.
They also rescued many respectable women who were about to be sent away.
In a short time, Prefect Yue Hanquan's prestige in Wushan Prefecture increased significantly.
Meanwhile, the Yue Family secretly sent people to express their support for the Golden Wing Tower's actions.
Zhang Rongfang kept the remaining staff of the Golden Wing Tower and then planned to recruit new people.
It's easy to find members of the Zheng Lou, but difficult to find assassins.
The assassins are all elites trained from childhood, who are obedient to orders and work together in perfect harmony.
It's simply impossible for it to take shape in a short time.
He wasn't in a hurry.
In any case, the atmosphere in Wushan Prefecture was completely cleansed. It was a perfect time for him to study the Locked Script).
Zen Heart Literary Society.
Inside the pink gauze, Gong Shuyin sat cross-legged, slowly grading Zhang Rongfang's homework with a special quill pen.
Boda Gan Script is a medium-difficulty level of Locked Script.
Its writing system is not comprehensive, because it was mainly used for sacrificial rites and worship of gods, so many expressions of daily life appear very stiff and strange.
Amidst the rustling sound of writing, Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes to rest, gently rubbing his temples.
The Huang Family's matter is easy to resolve; it's Sea Dragon's trouble that requires attention.
Qing Jiao is killed, Sea Dragon will have new experts rise up to take charge of Wushan Prefecture.
After all, this place is several times the size of Tanyang. They would never give up such a large city.
These past few days, Zhang Rongfang has had to study Locked Script, deal with his Elder Sister and Brother-in-law- law, and also contend with Sea Dragon and the remaining members of the Huang Family.
I am truly Heart Force.
"Young Master Zhang seems a bit distracted lately?" Gong Shuyin asked softly from behind the gauze curtain.
"But something happened that held you up?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's nothing, just a few minor troubles in my life, it will pass soon," Zhang Rongfang replied simply.
"Young master, please don't underestimate many small troubles." Gong Shuyin smiled. "Everyone's life is surrounded by many troubles. The world is a sea of suffering, but some people force a smile while others use suffering as a boat."
"Miss Yin, how do you think we should deal with our troubles?" Zhang Rongfang asked casually.
"If one tries to cross the sea of suffering by one's own strength, one will naturally find it difficult to escape the shackles."
But troubles also have roots. Cut off the root wherever it is, then let go of all that you cannot obtain and cherish everything you have in the present moment.
With body and mind completely empty, leaving only oneself, wouldn't one be more free and at ease?
Zhang Rongfang understood what she meant.
It's roughly like this: find the source of your troubles, cut off that source, and stop interacting with it; then you'll be free from troubles.
Furthermore, don't overestimate your abilities and pursue what you can't have; cherish what you already have.
You can empty your mind and body, and only see yourself, and that's how you can be free.
Simply put, it boils down to two words: lie flat.
"What Miss Yin is saying is simply to lie flat and not move?"
"But what happens after you give up? The world won't stop oppressing you just because you give up," Zhang Rongfang countered.
Gong Shuyin smiled mysteriously and slowly stood up.
"Lie flat? Your choice of words is truly concise, young master. However, what I mean by lying flat is not lying flat. All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Where there is a sea of suffering, there is also a sea of bliss."
"My lord, do you know that the Human Extreme does not lie in external things, but in oneself?"
She lifted the gauze curtain and peeked out a small foot clad in black cotton stockings.
The toes touch the ground, followed by the exposure of the ankle, calf, knee, and thigh.
Black cotton socks covered her legs the entire time.
Her long, rounded curves stretched upwards before being hidden by a tight-fitting red silk dress.
Zhang Rongfang had never seen Gong Shuyin's full appearance before, but today was the first time he had seen her in her entirety.
"Young master, do you know that the greatest bliss in the world does not lie in external things?"
"Oh?" Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Where is it then?"
"I have it." Gong Shuyin black hair reaching her waist, gracefully stepped out from behind the gauze curtain.
Her eyes widened, revealing a gentleness completely different from that of ordinary people.
It resembles Guanyin, who sits motionless in the Buddhist hall.
Zhang Rongfang noticed that a section of long hair was visible on the side of her slender waist, with the ends of the hair wrapped in a strange purple substance.
It's like putting a coat on long hair.
"The human body is inherently strange. Heaven has given us this physical body as a boat in the sea of suffering."
It also endowed us with spirituality, making us wings of bliss.
"Miss Yin, let's get back to the main topic. Could you please explain any mistakes or omissions in my homework?"
Zhang Rongfang remained silent and directly changed the subject.
"Of course." Gong Shuyin smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and began to explain the problems that had appeared in Zhang Rongfang's homework.
She explained things in great detail, even pointing out and analyzing the smallest problems.
Zhang Rongfang quickly put the strange feeling behind him and focused on listening to the lesson.
Time passed quickly, little by little.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Rongfang should also get up and leave.
He packed up his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and bid farewell to Gong Shuyin.
He suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
"Miss Yin, I wonder how long you have been in Wushan Prefecture? I am grateful for your guidance and would like to take this opportunity to entertain you and show you my hospitality."
"It's been about three years." Gong Shuyin was bending down to pick up something that had fallen to the ground.
Her exaggerated chest swayed constantly with her movements, and her figure was fully revealed by the tight skirt.
She looked up at Zhang Rongfang at the door and smiled.
"Then thank you for your kindness, young master. Speaking of which, if we go out for sightseeing, may I make a request?"
"Please speak, Miss. I will do my best if I can." Zhang Rongfang nodded. His sudden invitation was not a whim, but for another reason.
"Both Xiao Bi and I dislike crowded places. If we're going to travel, we'd like to choose some quiet, secluded spots. After all, life is full of hardships, and when there are many people around, there are more social obligations and interactions, and our minds and bodies can't be completely relaxed."
Gong Shuyin said softly.
Her words always carried a subtle provocation, but paradoxically, when Zhang Rongfang thought she was deliberately seducing him and looked at her, he found that Gong Shuyin's pretty face was serious and quiet, without any ill intentions.
That seems to be what she really thinks.
"Aren't you afraid of encountering bad people in a quiet place?" Zhang Rongfang asked rhetorically.
"With you here, young master, I'm sure you can handle most of the troubles," Gong Shuyin with a smile. "Besides, if I really encounter bad people, then it's just my bad luck and I can't blame anyone else."
"Who told me to be born of Man People, with no parents, no brothers or sisters, I can only rely on Xiao Bi for survival, making a living by teaching."
A hint of worry unconsciously crept into her eyes.
"Are you also Man People?" Zhang Rongfang asked in surprise.
"What? Young master doesn't believe me?" Gong Shuyin smiled. "I'm not only Man People, but also Barbarian Confucian. My parents taught me many classics since I was a child."
To my shame, I am now weak and frail, suffering from a serious illness that leaves me breathless and unable to shout loudly.
"No wonder. No wonder you are so knowledgeable, yet in such poor condition." Zhang Rongfang immediately understood.
His previous doubts were now explained.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, young master," Gong Shuyin said softly.
"Then it's a date, let's go on a trip together sometime," Zhang Rongfang said finally.
"Thank you, young master." Gong Shuyin smiled and waved.
The two parted ways, and Zhang Rongfang left the Zen Heart Literary Society and boarded a carriage that had been waiting for him.
"Have you found any information about this person?" he asked in a deep voice.
There was another person in the carriage, a short man who looked like Dwarf. His name was Bao Ning, a Golden Wing Tower assassin whom Zhang Rongfang promoted. He was now Fifth Grade assassin, almost reaching the Sixth Grade.
"My lord, the information we found is completely true. This Gong Shuyin has a clean background and is a very virtuous person. She was almost bullied several times, but she managed to escape each time."
But Bao Ning suddenly paused.
"Just what?"
"It's just that I feel this information is a bit too normal. But we 'Zheng Lou suffered heavy losses and are severely short-handed, so we can't verify it further."
"In that case, let all the men and women of the Dream Boat Society who can't go home come out, take the assessment, and divide them into members of the Zheng Lou Deputy Tower, and then merge them into us."
"This is better than just sitting around and eating away our savings," Zhang Rongfang said calmly.
"Yes, but sir, most of those people need Dream Nectar. What should we do?"
"Let the refiners continue to refine and supply the Dream Nectar. However, it is forbidden to distribute or sell it outside the factory. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!"
Zhang Rongfang planned to use this group of Dream Boat Society members to see what harm Dream Nectar actually did to people.
"Finally, have all the Huang Family's secret techniques and information been brought over?"
"Yes, it's all moved, sir. While we were moving the books, we discovered some of them that might involve some special secrets."
"Let's go take a look."
