Chapter 8 Drilling Rat

Things did progress as Li Feibai expected.

That afternoon, Jinglin lifted martial law and the whole city cheered.

But a wanted warrant brought the whole city's atmosphere to freezing point.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the 'White Tiger' has betrayed the country and betrayed the kindness of our royal family. Now he has issued a reward order. Anyone who can take the head of the 'White Tiger' will be willing to cede ten cities and be rewarded with a title."

A decree, like a thunderbolt from the blue, struck the hearts of the people of Jinglin.

In their hearts, the "White Tiger" has long been a hero of the country, and even their faith. Now that their faith has collapsed, how can they accept it?

"The White Tiger has rebelled? How is this possible?"

A group of people gathered around the announcement wall and started talking.

"It seems that the whole city has been under martial law these past few days because of the 'White Tiger'."

"It turns out that the mysterious 'White Tiger' looks like this, but he looks handsome."

"Ten cities? It seems that the imperial court has spent a lot of money. It would be great if I had the ability."

"Don't even think about it. Even if you have great abilities, you can never catch the 'White Tiger'."

"If the 'White Tiger' rebels, then our country will be in danger!"

"Yes, he is as powerful as Jiang Guo, and the entire royal family is in a state of panic and is on the verge of collapse. Then won't our Weiguo have to follow in Jiang Guo's footsteps?"

"It seems that Jinglin can't stay here for long."

The public sentiment is boiling, and people's hearts are beginning to become restless.

It seems that this situation has been expected, and the city lord Shen Tianhe has already prepared his words.

"Everyone, please be patient." He appeared in the crowd, followed by Xiao Wuji, the deputy commander of the Black Dragon Guard!

But the people didn't seem to be afraid of the city lord, and they were still very loud.

"Quiet!" Xiao Wuji couldn't stand it anymore and shouted with inner strength.

Although the voice was not loud, the two words echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

Suddenly, the whole place was silent.

"As people of Jinglin, you should not be afraid of a mere 'white tiger'." Xiao Wuji said.

"Sir, you said it nicely, aren't you afraid of the 'White Tiger'?" a bold young man replied.

"Hmph, with my Black Dragon Guard and Imperial City Forbidden Army here, how can we be afraid of a traitor?" Xiao Wuji replied disdainfully.

"Didn't Jiang Guo and Zhu Guo also have millions of troops, and weren't they turned upside down by the 'White Tiger' and people were in panic?" the young man replied.

As a soldier, Xiao Wuji couldn't stand the ridicule of these people and said directly: "If you are afraid, you can just get out of Jinglin."

Hearing what he said, Shen Tianhe immediately panicked. If Jinglin's people fled in large numbers, then he, the city lord, would not even be able to survive.

"Everyone, please don't be rash." He quickly pulled down Xiao Wuji's sleeve and motioned for him to retreat.

"The imperial court has always been with you. To show the sincerity of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will explain everything to you at noon tomorrow at the East City Watch Pavilion. Please don't make random guesses and get into trouble."

Shen Tianhe has always been a good-natured man, well-rounded, and although he does not bully the people, his character is destined to not be respected.

The crowd bowed their heads and talked quietly.

"Since the royal family has sent a prince to appease people's hearts, it is obvious that they still value us common people. Let's leave and we will talk about it at noon tomorrow."

Among the people, there are also local patriots from Jinglin.

Some people took the lead, and others joined in. Finally, the group gradually dispersed amid suspicion and fear.

Huisheng Medical Center, backyard.

Li Feibai has completely removed the gauze, leaving no scars on both sides of his cheeks, and within ten days, he was able to change Li Feibai's face. This is what Fang Shenshou is so outstanding about.

Gradually becoming familiar with his new look, Li Feibai thought to himself: This master is really a genius. If he is in future generations, he will definitely be a top plastic surgeon.

The door was pushed open, and Fang Shengshou walked in. His face was radiant and there was an excited smile on his lips.

"Sir, things are exactly as we predicted. Nangong Jiang will be at the East City Watch Pavilion to appease people at noon tomorrow."

"Dongshi Observatory Pavilion?" Li Feibai frowned slightly.

Jinglin, the imperial capital, has a total of twelve watchtowers, all ten feet high, which are used by the imperial army to monitor all parties.

"They really know how to pick a place. There are no high-rise buildings within a hundred feet (about 330 meters) of the East City Observation Pavilion, and assassination using hidden weapons cannot be used. When the time comes, the Black Dragon Guards and the Forbidden Army only need to surround the Observation Pavilion. It can ensure that Nangong Jiang is safe."

"Sir, it's obvious that they chose the place after careful consideration." Fang Shengshou agreed.

"Also, since Shen Tianhe announced that the prince will appear at noon tomorrow, the watchtower in Dongshi has been surrounded by the imperial army and no one is allowed to approach. The royal family will also send people to inspect the building materials of the watchtower one by one to ensure that there are no Fault." Fang Shengshou continued to talk about the news he received.

"The preparations are quite thorough." Li Feibai said with a smile.

"Sir, when you called Fang Qinglai, did you also expect that air and ground attacks would not work?" Fang Shengshou asked. "Yes, if air and ground attacks fail, then we will attack from underground." Li Feibai smiled, and then continued to ask: " Isn’t Fang Qing here yet?”

"Looking at the time, it should have arrived, but I haven't seen this mouse yet."

The two of them stared at the soil beneath their feet.

"Could it be that Fang Qing has regressed?"

When Li Feibai was suspicious, the soil under his feet suddenly loosened, like a squirrel emerging.

"He's here!" Li Feibai said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, a head pressed against the soles of his feet from the ground.

"Who stepped on my head?" This is the voice coming from the ground.

Li Feibai smiled knowingly and moved his feet away, and Fang Qing just jumped out from the ground.

He was covered in mud and his face was covered with mud, but his thin figure and two mustaches were vaguely visible.

Although his body was covered with filth, a wine gourd around his waist was extremely clean.

Fang Qing, known as the gopher, is proficient in the art of centipedes. Digging tunnels is as easy as eating and drinking.

It was eighteen miles from the countryside outside the city to Huisheng Medical Center. It only took him two hours to dig the tunnel.

He and Fang Shengshou are from the same clan, so they are uncles and nephews. They are both members of the Jiang Kingdom General Jun Lifu's clan!

Fang Lifu was impeached and rebelled with his troops, and his entire clan was executed. Li Feibai saw that the two of them had some abilities, so he secretly rescued them, trained them secretly, and concealed their real names.

Therefore, the two of them were grateful and loyal to Li Feibai.

"Who are you, dare to step on my head?"

Li Feibai changed his face, but Fang Qing didn't know it.

"I didn't step on your head, it was you who pushed my feet with your head." Li Feibai's voice did not change.

"This voice... seems so familiar." Fang Qing scratched his head and thought over and over again.

"Mouse." This is the name given to Fang Qing, Master Fang's master.

"He is the young master!"

"Master?" Fang Qing heard this and approached Li Feibai, staring at his face intently: "Have you changed your appearance?".

"No." Li Feibai gestured to Fang Shengshou to tell him what happened in detail.

After hearing the details, Fang Qing said angrily: "His grandma, this Weiguo royal family is really like a dog, ungrateful, and this Nangong Ding, they are worse than a pig or a dog."

Then he turned to Fang Shengshou with an angry look and said, "Uncle, what do you do for a living? You only care about practicing medicine to make money, and the young master almost lost his life under your nose."
