Chapter 79 A wave of flatness, a wave of rise

On November 22, the weather was gloomy and there was no wind or rain.

This was the second day of the rebels' attack. Gu Xiuxiu did not obey her father's instructions and went out early in the morning. She wanted to go shopping on the streets to see if she could catch some spies hiding in the city for her father.

After patrolling the government office all the way to Taiping Street in the north of the city, she did see a few sneaky people. When she ordered her men to arrest them for inquiries, she found that they were just foreign vendors, trapped in the city, and wanted to come out to see when they could leave the city.

To be on the safe side, Gu Xiuxiu still asked someone to send these vendors to the government office for supervision and wait for the war to subside before letting them out.

However, when she walked through Taiping Street and passed by Wuxian Building, she saw someone who surprised her.

At that time, Wuxian Building was open, and everyone in the building was having breakfast when they suddenly heard someone shouting "Zhu Gui!", and then they saw Gu Xiuxiu leading six guards in.

Ming Xia and the others were stunned for a while, but saw Xu Ziling responding with a wry smile: "Ms. Gu."

"Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui, you are so brave, you dare to stay in the city," Gu Xiuxiu sat opposite Xu Ziling and looked at Mingxia and said, "She is your fiancée."

While Gu Xiuxiu was speaking, the guards walked up and surrounded the two of them.

Ming Xia was confused, but saw Fang Baihua standing up from her seat, staring at Gu Xiuxiu, and said lightly: "Miss Gu, are you too confident? Just by your guards, can you catch people in my building?"

Gu Xiuxiu has low martial arts skills, but her eyesight is extraordinary. Before entering the building, she looked at it and was sure that there was only Fang Baihua in the field, Xu Ziling was threatening, and the rest of Mingxia, Gu Yueer, the old man Zhou Ti, the shopkeeper, and the waiter, she could not feel the internal breath, which means that they were all ordinary people.

So after hearing Fang Baihua's words, Gu Xiuxiu smiled disdainfully at her and said softly: "You seem to be a little more powerful, but you are still not enough." After saying that, the guards immediately split into two teams, two walked towards Xu Ziling, three walked towards Fang Baihua, and one left to stay beside her to prevent accidents.

With just a few clangs, he walked towards Fang Baihua's guards and felt that the tables and chairs in the hall were in trouble. He directly used his fist and sword energy to knock them down on both sides.

Fang Baihua's face turned cold, she pulled out the sword placed horizontally on the table, and took the initiative to attack the three of them. When they approached, she swept it out, bringing out a water-blue sword light.

The three guards were the sword, sword, and fist, facing Fang Baihua's sword, so that the two swords and swords could come first. The moment the swords and swords collided, the man who was the fist flashed behind Fang Baihua, and condensed his fist and rushed towards her back.

But Fang Baihua moved half a step, gathered energy with his left hand into a light blue lotus the size of a wheel to protect him, blocking the sword that was stabbed in front of him. At the same time, he turned his right hand and held the hilt of the sword and turned toward the rear. As the fist of the man behind him approached his back, the tip of the sword bar barely pierced his wrist.

A bone-broken sword energy spread out from Fang Baihua's sword, instantly sweeping across the entire arm of the guard, causing his right arm to lose consciousness.

When he used the power of his body to get rid of the sword that pierced into his right hand, he saw the sword turn toward his neck. He hurriedly retreated, but he still felt a chill of his throat. He hurriedly covered the injured place with his other hand, and his true energy was fully activated and he barely stopped the bleeding. At the same time, he had no time to attack Fang Baihua. Seeing Fang Baihua's flowing movements, not only Gu Xiuxiu, but also the old man Zhou Ti was surprised. The more powerful a master fights, he often distinguishes the victory or defeat of life and death in this move. The line between life and death is the best test of the overall quality of the warrior.

After a few breaths, the two guards of the sword broke through the lotus that was blocking in front of him and chopped Fang Baihua with all his strength with anger.

Fang Baihua returned to the sword block, and the true energy was unable to flow, and was defeated by the two of them several steps. The skills of these two guards were obviously higher than those of the previous guards, and they were one step away from the realm. But this step was like a natural barrier.

When they stood firm and faced the two of them again, Fang Baihua's momentum had surged. With the raging sword energy, the two could only barely take action, and it was difficult to find a chance to fight back.

On the other side, when Xu Ziling saw two guards coming, he quickly pulled Mingxia behind him, shouted "Master", and then took Chi Xiao to the two of them.

When fighting alone, Xu Ziling was confident that he could win steadily, but he seemed a little short of fighting with one against two. The sword technique he learned was only able to use Juque's four styles, but Juque's four styles were very powerful and powerful, and could not achieve the exquisite and delicate usage of Fang Baihua. When he met two people with similar strength, he immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Mingxia was afraid of affecting Xu Ziling, so she turned around and walked towards the table where Zhou Ti and Yue'er were.

Gu Xiuxiu noticed her and said to the guard beside her: "Go and catch her!"

The guard hesitated: "But..."

Gu Xiuxiu said coldly: "Go quickly!"

The guard had no choice but to nod and ran towards Mingxia at a very fast speed. Just as he was about to approach her, a figure flashed in front of him. Before he could react, the man's feet had already reached his front.

Gu Xiuxiu only heard a "bang", and the guard was kicked back and landed at her feet.

Looking at the old man who took action, Gu Xiuxiu was shocked. Her aura had reached the realm of returning to nature. If she had not seen him take action with her own eyes, she would not have believed that this unpretentious old man was a martial artist in the realm.

Feeling that things had exceeded expectations, Gu Xiuxiu hurriedly shouted to the guards: "Retreat them all!"

The two who fought with Xu Ziling were fine, so they retreated easily. It was not easy for them to fight against Fang Baihua. If anyone of them retreated one after another, the other would bear Fang Baihua's full strength sword, and if they were not dead, they would be seriously injured.

Just as everyone felt the atmosphere was subtle, the old man Zhou Ti was a little impatient. He jumped to Gu Xiuxiu, covered his palm on her head, and said in a deep voice: "Stop, whoever dares to move, I slap her to death with one palm."

The guards immediately threw themselves into the arms and dared not move anymore, so they asked Xu Ziling and Fang Baihua to tie them up with the waiter and the shopkeeper. The guards who were lying on the ground tried hard to pull the old man's leg, but the old man kicked them to the corner.

Gu Xiuxiu, who was controlled, was panicked, but on the surface he looked calm and asked the old man in a low voice: "The martial arts of his seniors are like a realm of perfection. I think he is not a Manichi scholar, right?"

"Don't make any effort, just stay quiet," the old man smiled. "Although I am not a true Manichae, my disciples are doing things for Manichaeism."

"Hmph! When my father defeated the rioters outside and found out that I was missing, he would definitely bring people to flatten the Wuxian Building."

Fang Baihua looked at her and a faint smile appeared on her face, which had always been cold: "Let's wait and see! I hope you won't ask me then."

In order to prevent being discovered in advance by the government office, Fang Baihua asked someone to lock Gu Xiuxiu and her guards in a secret room.

After being interrupted by Gu Xiuxiu and others, everyone lost their appetite. The shopkeeper and the waiter began to clean the messy hall.

Fang Baihua walked to the old man, leaned slightly and thanked him. The old man shook his head casually, looking indifferent.

Xu Ziling took Mingxia to a corner and slowly told her about her experience for more than a month. The maid Yue'er followed her over and eavesdropped for a while. When she felt bored, she ran to Zhou Ti and asked him to tell her his story.

The building entered a period of harmony for another time. It was not until after noon that the sound of fighting spread to Wuxian Building.

When the city was broken, most of the people were still in the house. It was not until they heard the shouts in the city that the people knew that the rebels had already attacked the city. In fact, as early as an hour ago, when the front line was in a tight position, the patrolling officials had disappeared in the streets and alleys and were urgently transferred to the city wall.

The sounds in the city became more and more messy. The people were afraid of harming themselves, so they closed the door and hurried at home. Yue'er in Wuxian Building excitedly shouted to Zhou Ti: "Master, take me out to see when the city is broken, and you are not allowed to cheat!"

Zhou Ti didn't say anything, but walked directly outside the door. Yue'er was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

After a long time, Fang Baihua also walked out with a sword. As soon as she reached the door, she met Yue'er, who ran back with a pale face.

Seeing her appearance, Xu Ziling smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you see something beautiful?"

"So, it's so disgusting," Yue'er covered her mouth, trying to vomit but couldn't. "How can they kill people like that? They are disgusting and scary."

Xu Ziling knew the bloody and cruelty of the Manichaeism attacking the officials, and Yue'er's reaction was natural. Fortunately, Mingxia was not interested in the battle formation, otherwise she would have gone out to see the tragic situation of the officials, which would probably be much worse than Yue'er's current appearance.

"Yue'er, where is the master?" Xu Ziling asked casually without seeing Zhou Ti come back.

"Isn't the master behind?" Yue'er turned around and looked at it, wonderingly, "I followed me just now, why haven't I seen you?"

Xu Ziling whispered: "I think I'm going to watch the fun, don't worry about him. We'll just wait here. Don't go out. It's very messy outside now."

Yue'er shook her head repeatedly: "I won't go out anymore, the Manichaeism people are so terrible."

It was not until the afternoon that the city became relatively quiet. The city's official troops either died or fled. Most of the officials were killed on the spot, and only a few high-ranking officials were temporarily detained.

Under the attack of Fang La, Shi Bao and others, Gu An's resistance in the south city did not last long. In less than half an hour, the personal troops and guards around Gu An were killed and injured, and Gu An himself was also captured by Fang La himself.

After the defeat of the Nancheng official army, the resistance in the city was almost negligible. The rebel army quickly controlled the four-sided city gates, and Hangzhou City officially announced the change of ownership.

Then Fang La brought the generals to the government office and took Gu An's carefully repaired mansion for himself. At the same time, he locked all the officials he captured in prison and used them to sacrifice to the sky when he ascended the throne.
