I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

"Ouch!" Fang Yi took several steps back in shock, realizing that words were no longer able to resolve the crisis before him. He quickly drew the Youlong Sword from his waist, ready to deal with the veteran's attack.

The old soldier seemed to be crazy. He took the lead and waved the Miao Dao in his hand. The blade made a whistling sound and was extremely sharp.

Fang Yi responded calmly and performed the first of the three life-saving moves - 'Immortal Pointing the Way'! The Dragon Sword drew an elegant arc and pointed directly at the old soldier's right eye.

What Fang Yi didn't expect was that the old soldier was so fanatical that he not only did not avoid him, but was even willing to sacrifice his last eyesight to perish along with him.

In order to avoid unnecessary harm, Fang Yi quickly dodged to the side, but was still a little slow, and his clothes were cut by the sharp knife.

Fortunately, Fang Yi was well prepared and followed Liu Congwu's instructions to wear soft armor every day to prevent accidents. This habit has become a life-saving talisman today.

Although he was temporarily out of danger, the old soldier did not stop and continued to attack, waving the broken Miao Dao.

On the side, He Zhenxun was extremely anxious and tried to dissuade him loudly: "Pei Shan! Stop it, he is Lord Huangzi, not a member of the Northern Chieftain!"

He Zhenxun almost rushed forward to stop it, but as a weak scholar, his interference would only increase casualties.

Xiaorou mistakenly thought that Fang Yi was injured, and was extremely anxious. She wanted to go forward to help, but was steadily blocked by Fang Yi.

"My dear lady, this place is dangerous, please return to He Lizheng as soon as possible!"

Fang Yi pushed Xiaorou back to a safe place while giving her instructions.

"My Lord, are you okay?" Xiaorou asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. As long as you don't distract me, victory will be mine."

Fang Yi said this while concentrating on dodging and at the same time assuring Xiaorou.

Facing the old soldier's continued crazy attack, Fang Yi immediately used his second life-saving skill - 'Yin Yang Reversal'. This move was both offensive and defensive, blocking the blade and leaving several marks on the old soldier's armor, but cleverly not touching his skin.

However, the old soldier has not yet regained his sanity, and Fang Yi's life-saving skills are about to run out.

Zhang Wenyuan once said that these three moves are the essence of Pure Yang Sword Technique, and those who can take them on are no ordinary people.

Even though Fang Yi held back and did not kill him, the veteran was still able to display such sharp swordsmanship under the torture of hunger and fatigue. It was truly not easy, and his strength was no less than that of the assassins who had initially tried to kill him.

In desperation, Fang Yi waited for the old soldier to swing his sword again, then he used the Youlong Sword, which could cut through iron like mud, to cleanly cut off the edge of the Miao Dao, completely crushing the old soldier's fighting spirit.

With the crisp sound of metal breaking, the Miao Dao was almost cut in half, and only the empty handle was left on the old soldier, no longer posing a threat to Fang Yi.

And at the moment when the Miao Dao broke, the old soldier's bloodshot eyes seemed to gradually become clear.

"Finally woke up..."

Fang Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart that his tension was relieved.

The old soldier came to his senses and looked at the broken Miao Dao on the ground in confusion. He then turned his gaze to Fang Yi and the other two and said suspiciously, "He County Magistrate, I..."

"Old Pei, my centurion, do you know that you almost caused a terrible disaster just now, and almost caused the death of all the benefactors of Jiuyuan!" He Zhenxun stepped forward quickly, his tone full of blame and urgency.

"The benefactor of Jiuyuan, does it mean the Marquis Guanjun who eliminated the treacherous Lu Dongxun?" The veteran Pei Shan looked up, with surprise in his eyes, and asked Fang Yi.

"That's right! The person standing in front of you is the Marquis. Why don't you kneel down and apologize! No, admit your fault!" He Zhenxun shouted sternly.

"I'm a commoner who doesn't know a great man..." Pei Shan was about to kneel down, but Fang Yi quickly stopped him, "You must not do that. You were lost in thought just now. It's not your fault. Hurry and stand up!"

"My Lord, you are so magnanimous and spared my life. Although I live in a remote village like Pingqiu, I have heard of your heroic name, but I never expected..."

"You didn't expect that I'm not the stupid person that people say I am?" Fang Yi said with a smile.

"No, what I heard about the Marquis is that he is extremely intelligent and can make cunning and corrupt officials bow their heads and confess their crimes. What I didn't expect was that the Marquis is also a master of swordsmanship and can control the out-of-control common people."

Pei Shan placed one hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and his words were full of admiration.

"I don't really deserve the title of master, because this Youlong sword is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud." Fang Yi smiled humbly.

"My Lord, you are too modest. Remember the day when the Northern Chieftains invaded, Pei Shan, who was in a frenzy, was all alone and made dozens of Northern Chieftains' barbaric soldiers who besieged him powerless... That's it, let's not talk about it anymore."

He Zhenxun suddenly came to his senses halfway through his words, fearing that the word "Northern Chiefs" would touch the old soldier's heartstrings and cause him to go crazy again.

Fortunately, Pei Shan seemed extremely sober at this moment. Perhaps what was cut off was not only his weapon, but also the paranoia and shackles in his heart.

Just as everyone was immersed in discussing the champion Hou Fangyi's extraordinary strength and glorious military exploits, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the atmosphere.

A yamen runner in blue clothes with a nervous look, ignoring the surprised looks around him, walked straight through the crowd and trotted all the way to Fang Yi's horse. He fell to his knees with a plop, and reported loudly before he could catch his breath: "Your Excellency, Marquis Guanjun, something terrible has happened. Someone from the county has sent an urgent summons. I implore you to return to the city immediately!"

Fang Yi was startled when he heard the voice, a trace of doubt flashed across his brows. He gently patted the heroic warhorse beside him, slowly stood up, and glanced at the yamen runner with eyes as sharp as an eagle: "Oh? Who has such a big face that he can trouble me to interrupt the celebration and rush back?"

The yamen runner raised his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Marquis Guanjun, the one who came is the Grand Commander of Yanzhou - Lord Zhuge Ke!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.

Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Why did Zhuge Ke come to visit suddenly?

"Lord Zhuge Ke?" Fang Yi murmured, then took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you mention why you came here?"

The yamen runner quickly responded, "My Lord, I don't know the details, but I heard from the Grand Commander himself that an imperial edict came from the capital, and it was for you!"

Hearing this, Fang Yi's eyes became more profound, and he already had some plans in mind.

He nodded slightly. Although his face remained calm, his heart was already in turmoil.

The content of the imperial edict must be of great importance since it was enough to alarm Zhuge Ke to come in person to deliver it.

"Okay, I see."

Fang Yi gently stroked the sword at his waist, his tone becoming more serious, "Go back and report first, and tell them that I will leave immediately, so don't worry."

Xiao Rou, who was standing by, asked in surprise, "My Lord, what's going on? What kind of imperial decree requires a great commander-in-chief to come in person to announce it?"

Fang Yi smiled faintly.

"Since you don't know, go back quickly! Don't make my future father-in-law wait anxiously!"
