() Fang Ping took off the original iron wrench and replaced it with the jade wrench. The jade wrench was crystal clear, and there was a sense of warmth and coolness wherever he touched it. As soon as he put on this jade wrench, his whole temperament seemed to change.
And it has changed, becoming somewhat elegant and refined.
Fang Ping's appearance is not very outstanding, and he does not stand out among the crowd. It is just that his face shape looks relatively comfortable, and there is nothing ugly about it, so it can give people a sense of intimacy.
When it comes to clothes, Fang Ping has never had any discernment, and his mother, Liu Ruoshi, is the one who arranges them. Liu Ruoshi is a gentle and delicate woman, and the clothes she chooses for Fang Ping are all quite satisfactory, with the principle of being fresh, clean and close to the body.
Therefore, Fang Ping's whole person is just like his name, ordinary and bland. In appearance, there is nothing that attracts attention. After wearing this jade ring, Fang Ping's appearance, which is as plain as boiled water, has an appearance.
Focus. Although this is just a small personal accessory, it makes Fang Ping's temperament look more noble and free from dust.
"Buddhas really rely on their gold, and people rely on their clothes. With this jade ring, my whole person has also changed, a sparrow has turned into a phoenix. Brother Shangguan, your vision for clothes and accessories is really not simple. Just a jade ring.
, can have such an effect." Fang Ping thought happily and walked towards the room.
Just after dawn on the second day, the convoy set off. Not long after the convoy set out on the road, a young man who was tired of traveling came up behind him on a skinny horse that looked exhausted. This young man turned out to be a bear egg.
Under the guidance of the guards, Xiong Dan rode up to Fang Ping and said, "Brother, something bad is going on. Something happened in Qingniu Village."
Fang Ping threw a kettle to Xiongdan and asked him to drink some water first and then speak slowly.
Xiong Dan mumbled and drank most of the pot of water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "A few days ago, Fang Shiheng falsely sent news that our convoy was attacked by Black Crow Village, and the guards suffered heavy casualties and fled in all directions. All the medicinal materials were
He was detained. Then he used this as an excuse to remove the old owner of the village and established himself as the new owner of Qingniu Village. The elder who stayed behind in the village refused to accept it and was killed by Fang Shiheng and Chong Heihu of Black Tiger Village."
Fang Ping asked in a slightly urgent tone, "What about Xuanxuan? She once shot Fang Wei and Fang Shiheng became the owner of the village, so I'm afraid it will be detrimental to her."
"Don't worry about this. After Fang Shiheng's rebellion, I immediately went to Lishui Town and asked Mr. Zhou Jingxuan to connect Xuanxuan's family and your mother to Qingfeng Manor. However, the owner of the manor and his family were all arrested." Xiong Dan
road.
At this time, Fang Qingniu rushed over from the front of the team, and Xiong Dan reported the situation to him again.
Hearing that the village owner was deprived of his position and his family members were arrested, Fang Qingniu's face turned extremely ugly. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Speed up and go to Ironwood Fort. After sending the medicinal materials to Ironwood Fort,
Let’s go back together to deal with Chong Heihu and Fang Shiheng.”
Xiong Dan said worriedly, "I see that you have suffered heavy casualties and your strength has been greatly affected. That Fang Shiheng has colluded with Black Tiger Village. I'm afraid that if you go back, you will be like the Great Elder, unable to defeat them and die at their hands."
Xiao Shiying roared, "What are you afraid of? When we return to Lishui Town, I will ask dad to send two hundred more mercenaries over. Are you still afraid of his Black Tiger Village?"
Fang Ping frowned slightly, "This time your father has sent over most of the elite mercenaries that can be mobilized. The other mercenaries may not be able to be mobilized after they return."
Fang Qingniu tried his best to calm himself down and said, "Everyone, please be patient and don't panic. The top priority now is to quickly deliver the medicinal materials to Ironwood Fort. We have two hundred thousand taels of silver in our hands. This time the medicinal materials are
It can be sold for one hundred thousand taels of silver. As long as we have money in hand, we won't have to worry about finding helpers. And when I go to Ironwood Castle this time, I will inform the owner of the situation and ask him to seek justice."
Fang Qingniu passed the order and ordered the convoy to speed up. At this time, it had reached the plain and entered the territory of Ironwood Fort. The grooms drove the horses at full speed.
At dusk, a green and black fortress appeared in front of everyone. This fortress was surrounded by tall walls on all sides and stood like a monster on the plain. It was the headquarters of the Fang clan, Ironwood.
Castle.
After traveling for so long and experiencing so many hardships and obstacles along the way, we finally reached the destination safely. Everyone's faces showed a look of relief.
The convoy passed through the moat, passed through the city gate, and entered the streets inside the fort. The streets in Ironwood Fort were not very wide and could only accommodate three carriages running parallelly. Most of the houses on both sides of the streets were only two stories, and a few were three stories. These
The architectural style of the house is also simple and rough, with basically no decoration, showing the original color of the logs and stones.
On both sides of the street, there are various shops, weapons shops, medicine shops, restaurants, pork shops, steamed bun shops, etc. There are not many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally there are three or two people, and they are all walking slowly.
, looking unhurried and unhurried.
The convoy of Qingniuzhuang passed by slowly, and occasionally an old man sunbathing on the side of the street glanced over casually. This small city with a permanent population of 50,000 gave Fang Ping the feeling of being rough, dull, and lacking in vitality.
There is a faint sense of chilling in it. This style is very different from the cities or market towns I have seen along the way.
Fang Ping was riding on a horse, casually scanning the shops and pedestrians. Suddenly, a burst of fighting and crying sounds came from a few streets away.
Fang Ping didn't want to meddle in such noisy matters. Along the way, he saw so many disputes and fights. If he took care of every one of them, he really didn't know how long he would have to take care of them. I have seen the same thing too many times, no matter how hot it is.
My heart will also become numb.
However, the cry came from a woman, full of fear and despair. Fang Ping could ignore a normal fight. However, if he could not bear to attack a woman who was crying in such despair, Fang Ping could not
Turned a blind eye.
Fang Ping led Xiao Shiying and Xiong Dan through two streets, and saw a small square with a circle of people gathered around them, as if they didn't dare to get too close. There were also two official officials among them.
The man was standing closer to the center of the square, with a look of fear and helplessness on his face.
In the middle of the square, several people wearing uniform blue commoners were beating up a middle-aged man. The man had a dark complexion, a thin body, and only rudimentary boxing and kicking skills. He was beaten badly.
A woman, about forty or fifty years old, was caught in the middle of the beatings. She tried to stop them from beating the man, and she also received a lot of punches and kicks. The sound of crying came from her mouth.
issue.
On the ground, there were a row of cantaloupe rolling around. Some of the cantaloupe were broken, revealing the white, tender and juicy flesh. A young man in rich clothes stood aside with an angry look on his face. From time to time he stretched out his hand and pointed at the thin man and said,
"Hit me! Beat me to death!"
"Stop!" A strong and handsome voice suddenly sounded in the square. The person who made this voice was naturally Fang Ping.
Fang Ping's voice was full of energy, majesty and power. The servants in green clothes immediately stopped their hands. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards Fang Ping.
Although Fang Ping looked dusty, the faint anger on his face made the servants in green clothes step back and make way for him.
