Fang Ping led seven Guiluo killers and twenty-five guards, riding horses and carrying arrows on their backs, and galloped out of the gate of Wanxiang Hall, exited the gate of Mingquan City, and ran along the avenue in the direction of Lishui Town.
Naturally, such a big battle could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Tianjian Medicine Store in the city. Soon, Tianjian Medicine Store's advocate Shixiong received the news that Fang Ping was leading his people to Lishui Town for support.
"Hall Master, this person is leading people to Lishui Town in such a dignified manner. Is there a fraud inside?" Zhang Wen, the fifth elder of Tianjian Medicine Store, said in a doubtful tone in the Ziqiang Mansion meeting hall.
"Our mobilization of troops in Cangshan Town was originally intended to lure Wanxiang Hall to send their combat power to Lishui Town. Then we would go straight to their store in Mingquan City to capture Fang Ping. But this Fang Ping actually went to battle in person.
Support from Lishui Town. It seems too easy for this fish to take the bait." Zhang He, the third elder of Tianjian Medicine Village, said with a thoughtful expression.
"Could it be that Fang Ping has prepared some conspiracy this time? Waiting for us to fall into his trap?" Another senior elder said with a worried expression.
Some other senior elders and deacons also expressed their suspicions about Fang Ping's action of personally leading people to Lishui Town.
After Tianjian Yaozhuang suffered a setback in the first confrontation, their target was Fang Ping, with the intention of killing or capturing Fang Ping. Their mobilization in Cangshan Town was to disperse the combat power of Wanxiang Hall in order to prepare for the attack.
Fang Ping creates more favorable conditions.
Now Fang Ping led thirty-two guards to leave Mingquan City and rush to Lishui Town, which can be said to have given Tianjian Medicine Company the best opportunity. But this opportunity was so good that it made many senior officials of Tianjian Medicine Company doubtful.
.
Zhang Shixiong had a stern expression and piercing eyes. After listening for a while, he slapped his palms on the table and said, "Everyone, please stop wondering and arguing. No matter what Fang Ping's idea is, as long as he leaves the city,
No matter how many guards he brings, he will never escape."
Zhang Heming stood up from his seat and said loudly, "Dad, this time, let me lead the people to capture Fang Ping. I promise that I will capture this little bastard alive and wait for you to deal with him."
Zhang Shixiong nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! He Ming, now that you have grown up, it's time to take care of your father's worries and make some contribution to our Tianjian Pharmacy. The third child, the fifth child, you two, each lead 20
An elite guard will follow He Ming to intercept Fang Ping and others, and we must capture him alive."
The third elder Zhang He and the fifth elder Zhang Wen looked at each other with a somewhat unhappy look in their eyes. Zhang Shixiong asked Zhang Heming to take the lead in handling this matter, obviously because he wanted Zhang Heming to make some contributions and help him take over Tianjian Medicine in the future.
The village paved the way. Although Zhang He and Zhang Wen felt a little unhappy, after a slight hesitation, they each responded, "I will obey the arrangement of the village owner."
Everyone dispersed, and Zhang Shixiong returned to the room. After a while, the butler Zhang Tianfu came to report, "Master, Mr. Mo is here."
Zhang Shixiong straightened his clothes and walked out quickly. An old man dressed in black robe, tall and thin, with cold and gloomy eyes and unfathomable aura, was walking towards the gate under the leadership of Zhang Tianfu. This man
, is the leader of Greedy Wolf, Mo Yun.
"Mr. Mo, please sit down quickly. Tianfu, let me serve you tea!" Zhang Shixiong welcomed Mo Yun into the room with a somewhat flattering smile on his face and said attentively.
Mo Yuan unceremoniously sat down on the large animal skin chair and said with an impatient look on his face, "Why is the owner of the village so anxious to invite me over? What's the important matter?"
Zhang Shixiong clapped his hands, and a maid, carrying a jade plate, presented three kinds of elixirs. These three kinds of elixirs were Daqing Xuehong Pills, Sancai Pills and Yusu Paste developed by Fang Ping.
As soon as Mo Yun saw the three-flavored elixirs, he immediately stood up, took the jade plate from the hand of the maid, and examined the three-flavored elixirs carefully.
After checking the elixirs, he put away the impatience on his face and asked, "Where is the alchemist who developed these three elixirs now?"
Zhang Shixiong said with an expected expression, "This is why I asked Mr. Mo to come here in person. The alchemist who developed these three elixirs is named Fang Ping, and he is the controller of Wanxiang Hall. He is now
On the way to Lishui Town."
Mo Yun's eyes flashed and he said, "If we can capture this alchemist as a slave, then our business will be successful. Our customers will definitely give us generous rewards."
Zhang Shixiong said, "My son He Ming has already led people to intercept. But this Fang Ping is not just an ordinary person. In just a few months, he has established a network of his own power. This interception operation
, if the forces of Greedy Wolf can suppress the formation, then we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Mo Yun took another look at the three-flavored elixir and let out a sinister and shrill laugh from his throat, "Master, you can rest assured. This time, I will personally go out to capture this genius alchemist who is rare to see in a century."
Zhang Shixiong seemed to be surprised, "Mr. Mo, are you going to take action personally? What about the guards of Heji Village? At this juncture, Heji Village cannot have any problems."
Mo Yun waved his hand, "The people in Tianchen don't even know my whereabouts, so they won't know the secret of Heji Village so quickly. And their main force hasn't come yet, so nothing will happen to Heji Village."
Zhang Shixiong beamed with joy, "If you had personally taken action, then the matter of capturing Fang Ping would have been foolproof."
Mo Yun, after finding out where Zhang Heming and others were, did not stay any longer and immediately went back to arrange for people to capture Fang Ping. Zhang Shixiong, on the other hand, immediately ordered people to pass on this important news to Gu Lingyun, the head of the Gu family.
Within the Gu family, after receiving the news from Zhang Shixiong, Gu Lingyun immediately issued an order to summon the elite members of the clan. Soon, many elders, deacons, guards, etc. of the Gu family took action and quickly gathered in the family square.
Assemble.
After all parties were assembled, Gu Lingyun issued the order to set off. Immediately, the elite forces of the Gu family, led by Gu Lingyun, marched out of the Gu family compound in a mighty manner. Their target was He Qingyuan's Kaiyuan.
Mansion.
Tianjian Medicine Store sent heavy troops to intercept Fang Ping and his party, and the news that the Gu family left in full force for Kaiyuan Mansion immediately reached the head of the Meng family, Meng Yuanhu.
In the Meng family's mansion, Meng Deqing looked at his old man anxiously and said, "Dad, Tianjian Pharmacy and the Gu family have officially launched operations. We must make a decision quickly. Without our support, Fang Pinghe
Even Heyuan Yaozhuang may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack."
The expression on Meng Yuanhu's face seemed a bit solemn, and his eyes were narrowed tightly, making it difficult for people to see his eyes clearly. After thinking for a long time, Meng Yuanhu said slowly, "Deqing, please be patient. You first
Arrange manpower to suppress the secondary forces under the Gu family and Tianjian Medicine Store that are trying to cause trouble, and protect our informants and forces. Inform the elders and security commanders to be ready to dispatch at any time, but when you receive me
Don’t act rashly before receiving orders.”
Meng Deqing was a little anxious, "Dad, it's been like this, and you still want to stand still?"
Meng Yuanhu nodded, "Our power is somewhat different from that of Tianjian Pharmacy and the Gu family. Even if we join the war, it will not be enough to change the trend of the war. The current situation is a major juncture for our Meng family. In
At this juncture, acting rashly will only make you passive. Let's wait and observe the changes in the situation before making the final decision."
Meng Deqing felt helpless and said, "Dad, if we continue like this, we will definitely lose. How can Fang Ping survive the interception of the main force of the Gu family? Heyuan Yaozhuang's strength has been greatly damaged because of Fang Ping, and now it is no match for the Gu family.
Once they take care of Fang Ping and the Gu family, they will soon target us. At that time, we will be isolated and helpless, and we will definitely lose."
Meng Yuanhu raised his head and stared into the void, saying, "Fang Ping cannot be defeated like this. I have full confidence in this. Retaining our strength now is definitely the best strategy for our Meng family. Wait.
Only by taking action when the war reaches a stalemate can we, the Meng family, gain the greatest benefits."
Meng Deqing reluctantly withdrew, followed his father's instructions, and began to arrange various matters. At this moment, Fang Ping had already led Guiluo's killers and Gale Guards on the way to Lishui Town. Regarding the situation in Mingquan City,
