Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wushe came with Zeng Gao and Mo Ku.

"Your subordinate Zeng Gao pays homage to the Prime Minister."

"Don't worry, I'm here to see the Prime Minister."

Shang Shixu looked up at them. Although the two men looked a little disheveled, their eyes were bright and they were full of energy.

Shang Shixu nodded and waved his hand with satisfaction, signaling them to get up.

"Have you completed all the tasks assigned to you?"

Zeng Gao stepped forward, raised his hands and bowed his head, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I have successfully led the yamen runners to complete the quarantine of all villages near Lushan Village."

Shang Shixu nodded and asked many more details. He did not expect Zeng Gao to complete the task so well.

This man is indeed a talent. It would be a pity to let him stay in Lingnan.

It would be better to bring him back to the capital, give him a position, and let him become your assistant.

"Very good, Zeng Gao was right about you. How about you?"

Mo Ku shook his head sadly, as if he had something to hide.

"Reporting to you, sir, all the villages you have entrusted to me have been quarantined.

But... there were many troublemakers in the village, forcing the subordinates to suppress them with force.

As a result, I only have ten brothers left. I have done a poor job, please punish me, sir."

Shang Shixu understood that those villages were far away from the town.

Most of them border other countries, so any kind of people could sneak in.

So there must be a lot of troublemakers. It's already very good that Mo Ku can guarantee that there are still people under him.

Shang Shixu was very relieved, even though he lost the hidden force of Yize.

But having two more people in the open is not a bad thing.

"No problem, Mo Ku, hurry up and get up. You have done such an excellent job, how can I bear to punish you?"

Mo Ku still had a sad look on his face. He thought he could do better for the Prime Minister, but unfortunately he failed to do so this time.

Shang Shixu was thinking in his mind how to defeat the Lushan bandits.

Mo Ku is more suitable for fighting, so why not let him lead the charge?

Zeng Gao is good at martial arts and is more tactful, so it would be nice to have him assisting from the side.

"Don't listen to my orders!"

"If bandits attack, you lead sixty people to ambush at the foot of the mountain as a second line of defense to protect the village.

As for the first line of defense, I will arrange it myself."

"I obey my orders!"

"Zeng Gao, listen to my orders. This time you must follow Mo Ku's command and provide him with assistance at all times."

"I obey my orders!"

"Okay, we will only stay here for three days. If the bandits don't attack, we will retreat back to the city.

Therefore, during these three days, everyone must be fully alert and be on guard against bandit attacks at all times!"

"Yes!"

After Shang Shixu gave them his instructions, he asked them to go back and train.

"Wushe, when do you think Fang Shun will come, today or tomorrow?"

Wushe walked behind Shang Shixu and gently massaged her shoulders.

"Reporting to the OP, I think it will be tomorrow."

Shang Shixu shook her head. She didn’t think Fang Shun could remain calm after so many days.

"I think Fang Shun will come tonight. Let's not sleep today. Let's lie in ambush around the woodshed and wait for him."

"Yes, I obey."

The moon was dim and the stars were sparse, with only a few stray animals active in the village.

Of course, there were two other people active around the woodshed tonight.

"Sir, it's already late. Go and have some rest. I will take care of this."

"No, Fang Shun will definitely come tonight. He is good at martial arts.

I don’t know who he learned this from, and this person is very shrewd. I’m afraid you’ve fallen into his trap.”

Wushe covered his chest with his hands in emotion, it turned out that the OP cared about him so much.

"Sir, I know that I must be your favorite subordinate."

Shang Shixu turned around and glanced at him. Silly boy, she didn't want to rest.

It’s because I’m afraid that you, with your stupid brain, will be cheated, not because I care about you.

Shang Shixu thought so in his heart, but considering the fragile heart of Wushe, the silly boy, he held back and didn't say it out loud.

The two waited for a long time in the night, and when they were drowsy,

A figure jumped over the tree and accurately climbed into the woodshed through the window.

Shang Shixu and Wushe woke up instantly and realized that the enemy had fallen into a trap.

A subtle sound was heard, and Shang Shixu pricked up his ears to listen.

"Brother, you are so embarrassed. Why are you looking at me in such surprise?"

"Why aren't you talking? Don't you want to pay attention to me? Why do you keep shaking your head?"

Shang Shixu looked coldly at Fang Li who was still trying to tell Fang Shun to run away.

What a loving brotherhood! But it's too late.

Shang Shixu and Wushe looked at each other and surrounded Fang Shun from both sides.

The sword was unsheathed, emitting a cold light.

Fang Li struggled to speak, it sounded like a cry of despair.

Fang Shun felt something was wrong the moment he heard the sound.

He hid in the direction of Fang Li, and he actually avoided the encirclement of Shang Shixu and the other man.

Shang Shixu saw Fang Shun fall beside Fang Li, and immediately stepped forward to strike him with a sword.

"what!"

"elder brother!"

Fang Shun subconsciously grabbed Fang Li and asked him to block the attack for him, and then died tragically under Shang Shixu's sword.

He pushed his brother's body away without any reluctance and escaped through the window.

Shang Shixu and the other man chased out, but were stopped by a burly man holding two axes.

"Stop! If you want to leave, step over me first!"

Shang Shixu looked at the axe in his hand and felt a slight pain in his wrist.

She recognized this man as the one who rescued Fang Shun that day.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Shang Shixu did not dare to test them easily.

Wushe frowned and whispered in Shang Shixu's ear: "Sir, this man looks very familiar to me.

He seems to be a very famous knight in the martial arts world, known as the Axe King."

Shang Shixu didn't understand why people from the underworld would get involved in disputes in the court.

"May I ask if you are the Axe King?"

The big man holding the axe in both hands snorted coldly.

"It's me, your grandfather. Are you scared? Why don't you surrender quickly? I can spare your life depending on my mood!"

Shang Shixu curled his lips in disdain. This man was too conceited.

But it's not certain that Wushe and I can beat him.

If only my aunt were here, she would definitely beat this big guy until he cried for his parents.

"My dear hero, the martial arts world and the imperial court should not interfere with each other.

This has always been the rule. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this today, hero."

The Axe King swung the axe in his hand and shook his head proudly.

"F**k the rules. I, your grandfather, have never been one to follow the rules.

Besides, what's wrong with me protecting my family? Even if you are the king of heaven, you can't control me, your grandfather!"

Shang Shixu thought carefully about when the Fang family had connections in the martial arts world.

This is really troublesome. Fang Shun will definitely not be caught this time.

Next time she gets the chance, she will definitely find a way to tear him into pieces!

"withdraw."

Shang Shixu left with Wushe unwillingly.

Axe King saw them leaving, sneered, and left as well.

Returning to the woodshed, Shang Shixu looked at Fang Li, who died with his eyes open, and felt indescribable.
