[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?
Chapter 184 Troubled Times 4
Fang Mo and the two are rarely able to sit at the table and have a meal comfortably these days. Although this small open-air noodle restaurant in the countryside sells a bowl of beef noodles with only two thin slices of almost transparent beef, it sells more than Xincheng Huibin. The building is still expensive, but Fang Mo still eats with relish. After eating a bowl, he sits aside and drinks a free big bowl of tea, smiling and watching Fang Wei slurp up the noodles.
Seeing Fang Mo gloating, Fang Wei slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Don't eat!"
Fang Mo stretched out a hand and shook it at him, Fang Wei said angrily: "So what about fifty coins? If you don't want to eat, you won't eat it!"
Fang Mo ignored him, he didn't feel sorry for the fifty renminbi, but after passing this village, there would be no such shop, and he wouldn't be able to spend money if he wanted to, anyway, the only one who was hungry would be this angry uncle Fang , not him.
How could Fang Wei not have thought of this, and quickly lost the battle, his momentum was a lot shorter, and he said sadly: "The ancestors said that food and sex are also, what do you mean? It means that things are the greatest enjoyment in life, there is no one !
"Our brother for more than ten years, thanks to my trust in you, why did you treat me? Didn't you just make a joke? You actually drugged me and made my tongue lose sensation. It tastes like a meal, it tastes like chewing wax! Is there any brother like you in the world?"
He patted the table and wailed, "What's the point of living this day!"
Fang Mo raised his fingers one by one, and said: "First, you deserve it. Second, if you don't have any food, you can go find sex! Third, the medicine I used is only effective for four hours, and now it is the second. God!"
Fang Wei said angrily: "Then who is to blame for the hole in my tongue? Talking hurts, drinking hurts, eating hurts even more, salty, spicy, and hot hurts even more... Finally, I managed to get a decent meal. Apart from the pain, I can't care about anything, even eating dragon meat doesn't taste good!"
If it wasn't for the hole in his tongue, would he be eating slower than Fang Mo?
"Who's to blame?" Fang Mo said lightly, "Of course it's on whose tongue it's to blame! Or... whoever bites it?"
Fang Wei was furious: "If you hadn't given the medicine, I would have bitten my own tongue?"
Fang Mo rolled his eyes. He remembered that when a certain person came back from his first mission at the age of 13, he was almost split in half. He tried to hold back his silence, but now he even got into an awkward fight with him because of a hole the size of a needlepoint in his tongue. ——Okay, he admitted that it was a little bit bigger than the tip of a needle.
Fang Wei has been with him for more than ten years, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. He said decisively: "It is related to my quality of life, and I will never let it go! This is a matter of principle!"
Fang Mo had no choice but to take out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, and said: "The healing effect is mediocre, but the pain relief is first-class... The materials are rare, so use less. Save yourself some time!"
Fang Wei's success was complete, Fang Mo was finally convinced by the trouble, he took the porcelain bottle with satisfaction and complacency, rinsed his mouth and began to pretend to apply the medicine.
It's just a wound on the tongue. Although it hurts badly when you move it, it's not easy to find it out by yourself.
Fang Mo really couldn't see his clumsy appearance, so he reached out and grabbed the porcelain bottle: "Tongue!"
Fang Wei smiled and poked his head over, sticking out his tongue.
Fang Mo moved the porcelain bottle to the top, tilted the mouth of the bottle slightly, tapped the porcelain bottle twice lightly with his fingertips, scattered a few grains of dust-like medicinal powder, and landed on the scarlet opening of Fang Wei's tongue, saying: "Don't move!" ah."
Fang Wei didn't dare to move, blinked his eyes: "Huh?"
Fang Mo put away the porcelain bottle, and said, "Just stay like this, the pain will be gone in less than half a cup of tea... But if you retract your tongue and move around, and accidentally swallow the medicine... Hmph, don't Blame me for not reminding you."
Fang Wei's tongue was hanging out, and he said vaguely, "What will happen if you eat it?"
Fang Mo picked up his teacup to drink tea, and said, "Try it!" He turned his head away from the ugly look he pretended on purpose.
Fang Wei was furious: This wicked boy must have put something weird in it again!I don't know if I will get itchy all over after eating this, or I will keep sneezing...
Just as he was about to protest, his gaze suddenly caught sight of a slender figure approaching from the intersection, and he suddenly fell silent.
Fang Mo didn't wait for Fang Wei to have an attack, looked curiously, and found that he was actually sticking out his tongue honestly, the funny look of sticking out his tongue just now had long since disappeared, and he looked a bit stupid.
Just as he was about to speak, Fang Wei gave him a veiled wink. Fang Mo understood, turned his head to look, and saw a stunning woman in a goose yellow dress standing beside the road, holding a sword and leading a horse. His face was as red as fire, and he stared straight at Fang Wei, but he didn't step forward, his face showed struggle and hesitation, as if he was holding back so he didn't run away.
Fang Mo and Fang Wei were connected, and almost immediately guessed her identity. It was an old friend they met in the ruined temple the evening before yesterday.The night before last night, he and Fang Wei were afraid that someone would break in, so they took turns guarding the ruined temple all night. Yesterday morning, they watched her leave before continuing on the road. Unexpectedly, they met here just one day later—— —Although she was insane at the time, she had some impressions, probably suspecting Fang Wei.
It's no wonder that Fang Wei looks like this. If this girl recognizes them, the two of them are just embarrassed, but the other party is not only embarrassed, but even more embarrassing... Therefore, everyone is rotten in their stomachs about this kind of thing. It's best if it doesn't happen.
He really admired this girl's courage, if she changed to something else, even if she recognized her, she would pretend not to know, the farther she ran, the better!
"This girl," Fang Mo looked at her, blinked, and said apologetically, "Did my brother scare you?"
"Ah! Ah?" The girl in the yellow skirt regained her senses as if frightened, and then she noticed Fang Mo, who had her back turned to her. After seeing his appearance, she suddenly lost her mind: How did this boy live like this? nice?
Fang Mo continued speaking on his own, and said, "Girl, don't be afraid, although my brother...here..."
He pointed to his own head, didn't speak clearly, and continued with a wry smile: "But he has a good heart, if he doesn't take the initiative to bully him, he will definitely not beat people indiscriminately, don't worry."
Then Fang Wei said: "Take your tongue back quickly, you will scare the girl - the noodles are not hot now, hurry up and finish eating and we have to go on our way."
Fang Wei responded angrily, then buried his head in the noodle bowl and began to eat.
Fang Wei's "stupidity" made the girl in yellow shirt obviously relieved, looked at the iron pot on the ground, and some messy things, and asked, "Aren't you local?"
The girl in the yellow shirt had a clear voice and a hearty voice. She was originally a child of the rivers and lakes, but after regaining her composure, her demeanor and speech were quite straightforward, which made people feel good.
Fang Mo hummed, and pointed casually: "We are from there. Originally, our family had a house and land, and we lived a decent life, but this time the imperial court recruited men over the age of 16. ...I'm not afraid of death, but once I leave, my brother is afraid that he will be bullied to death...I have no choice but to take him and escape."
The girl in yellow shirt looked at the direction he was pointing at, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Little brother, don't think I'm talkative, you were right not to conscript, why bother to sacrifice your life for the whim of that stupid king? Be careful when you move, there are all kinds of bad guys out there, don’t think you’re safe if you don’t have any money... When you’re in a crowded place, you’d better put something on your face to cover it up.”
Fang Mo thanked her earnestly, and watched her leave. After Fang Wei drank the last bit of noodle soup, he yelled "comfortable", and muttered in a low voice, "I've never seen anything like this. Those who save people are more afraid of seeing people than those who are rescued. "
Naturally, he wouldn't say too much on this matter, and said with a stern face: "Your medicine is really effective, it really doesn't hurt... that... if you swallow it... what will happen?"
Fang Mo turned his head, looked at him like a fool, and said, "It won't work if you swallow it... don't you even know this?"
Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, his teeth itching with hatred: "Stinky boy, just wait for me!"

Although it is inevitable to walk on the small road and sleep in the open air, none of them mentioned the matter of switching to the official road.
Refugees are everywhere on the official roads. The common people used to flee, and they knew to go to the capital, to the prosperous city, where there are emperors and high officials, and they can give some relief, but now the disaster comes from the capital, and they don’t even know how to escape. No matter what direction to flee, you can only walk where you want with your eyes closed.
Walking on the official road, it is inevitable to witness the desperation and fear in the world, and you will also encounter some people who are not open-eyed. Depending on the number of people, you will come forward to blackmail someone who is lucrative.These people, if they are slaughtered, they will not be guilty of death, and beating them is meaningless, while those little girls and old ladies who hug your legs and cry are even more confusing than these people.
The two had neither the ability to save the world nor the hard-heartedness to turn a blind eye, so they could only be cowards. Relying on their skills, they walked the mountain roads where no one was seen, and only occasionally lived in larger towns. Get down.
"I heard that the governor of Zhongzhou is also rebellious," Fang Wei talked about the rumors he heard earlier, and said, "Calculation, as far as we know, there are already five forces who have raised the rebellion flag. This is not yet official. The Huojiabao who spoke.
"Wars are fought by soldiers and generals, but more importantly, they have to fight for money and food. Those who have already started troubles, those who are planning to do so, and those who are ready to take advantage of both sides, are desperately hoarding food and grass, causing the price of food to change every day. It's just a pain for us. Ordinary people, there was not much food left at home this season, but now the price of food in some towns has risen almost ten times, and there is no market for it.
"It's okay to be young and strong. You can register at the conscription place with your eyes closed. Death in battle is better than starvation. Women and children are pitiful..."
Fang Mo had been listening to him quietly, and when he heard him sigh sadly, he opened his mouth and said, "It's almost April, the grass in the field has grown, and the trees have turned green... Grass roots, bark, wild vegetables, No matter what, I can live for a while, if I can catch fish, catch shrimps and hunt birds, I can still have a full meal once in a while."
Fang Wei knew that this reminded him of the experience of fleeing when he was a child. He still finds it unbelievable that the two of them, one nine years old and the other seven years old, have traveled so far without a penny or a grain of food... …He can climb trees to touch bird eggs, and go into the water to catch fish. Although Fang Mo is young, because he was taken outside by his father to identify herbs since he was a child, he knows exactly what can and cannot be eaten.
The two walked with each other's support during the day, and huddled together to sleep at night, because they touched a fish, found a bunch of dates, and laughed like two fools... Just like that, they survived day by day.
He also heard Fang Mo's unspoken words: So those people should be able to survive!
He didn't want to answer this question, so he said with a smile, "Xiaomo, how about I carry you?"
Fang Mo was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No!"
Fang Wei approached with a straight face: "Come on, come on, I'll carry you!"
At that time, seeing the little Fang Mo walking step by step with internal injuries, he twitched in distress, but he carried him on his back bravely, and he was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to take a few steps. He just fell on the ground and couldn't get up... So for a long time, his greatest wish was to grow strong and be able to carry that little guy on his back steadily...
This desire is even stronger than the desire to fill the stomach.
"do not want!"
"Come on, come on, it's tiring to walk, don't be shy!"
"Go away! Say no!"
"Then you carry me?"
"do not want!"
Smiling and chasing after him for a while, Fang Wei looked at Fang Mo, who is now better than himself in lightness kung fu, so he had no choice but to dispel the "evil thoughts" in his heart, lay down on a stone, rested his head on his arm, and said: "Xiaomo, why don't we find a place to serve as soldiers? Those people, eating grass roots and bark, can survive spring, summer, and autumn, but what about winter? Let's work together to overthrow that stupid king, will everyone be able to have a stable life earlier? If you don't do anything, you will always feel a little bit sorry."
Sitting beside him, Fang Mo said, "But if the emperor is overthrown, who will be the emperor? Isn't there going to be a war again? When I become a soldier, I will first fight with the soldiers who were forced into the army by the faint king, and then fight with us. Those who overthrow the faint king will fight... I don't want to fight."
Fang Wei said sullenly, "I don't want to fight either."
Then he had a sudden thought, and said: "Xiaomo, tell me, these people's banners are for the good of the people and for the peace of the world, so why don't they sit together after beating the faint king, punching while drinking, and then who Whoever wins will be the emperor? In this way, the world will be peaceful!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Fang Mo's muffled laughter from above his head, Fang Wei sighed and said, "So, those slogans are all deceitful, how many of these people rebelled for the common people? It’s just deceiving people to pay for it!”
Fang Mo said: "Actually, if we really want to attract people's hearts, these slogans are not good enough."
"Do you have better ones?"
"To put it bluntly, it is to lure them with profit," Fang Mo said: "Don't they all say that they rebelled for the benefit of the people? Then tell me, what can make the people feel at ease?"
"What?" Fang Wei thought for a while and said, "Land?"
"That's right," Fang Mo's mind suddenly came up with a word: "Equal wealth and honor, equal farmland."
He paused before continuing, and said: "In this world, [-]% of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of [-]% of the people because of land annexation. That is to say, most of the people in this world do not have land." , plus refugees are everywhere now... In this troubled world, it is really not too easy to rebel.
"Find a refugee gathering place with a lot of people, take them to rob a wealthy family that has stored a lot of food, and let them have a full meal... Then make a slogan, continue to rob, continue to distribute, those refugees will definitely come after hearing the news. Etc. If a larger area is laid down, the land will be distributed to the common people for farming, and those who have no land in the first place will yearn for it... If the development goes well, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
"In the final analysis, this world is still the world of the common people."
Fang Wei listened intently and did not speak.
"Dividing the land is the most attractive. In fact, those people don't know it. It's just that they don't dare, because they are wealthy themselves, and they can't destroy their foundation." Fang Mo continued: "And it seems that the momentum is very strong, but It is definitely not as good as those elite soldiers from wealthy families, no matter how many people there are, it will be a mess, and if it is not controlled properly, it will be prone to chaos in the later stage."
"Well, we have to make steady progress step by step," Fang Wei said: "There are also talents, not only talents who can conquer the world, but also talents who can govern the world."
Fang Mo hummed, and lay down next to Fang Wei, neither of them was interested in continuing the discussion—rebellion was too far away from them.
Spring is the season of sleepiness, and the sunshine in March is even more warm and inviting. The two of them lay down for a while, both a little drowsy. Fang Wei yawned, and was about to speak, but the words came out in a low voice: " Momo!"
Before he could speak, he closed his eyes as if Fang Mo, who was sleeping soundly, had opened his eyes. When Fang Wei said "Xiao Mo", both of them pressed the boulder at the same time, and one left and one right shot out.
There was a loud "boom" and the broken stones flew. There was a deep sword mark on the boulder where the two had just landed. If the two hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been broken into four pieces at this moment.
The sharp sword that hit the boulder whirled around in the air and fell back into a blue scabbard. The hand holding the scabbard was slender and fair. The person holding the sword was tall and tall, standing leisurely, and said lightly: "The reaction is actually Not slow."
Fang Mo and Fang Wei looked at each other, and they both read the deep alertness in each other's eyes: Yipin!
You must know that Fang Wei's martial arts is between the third rank and the second rank. At his age, having this strength is already very impressive, but looking at the whole Jianghu, it is really nothing.And Fang Mo, because of his serious partiality, his strength is hard to say... He can easily kill a second-rank expert by calculating and taking medicine in advance, but he may also try his best to break the defense of a third-rank warrior no.
You must know that two third-rank players may be able to deal with one second-rank master, but two second-rank masters can only escape if they meet a first-rank master.If it is the third rank, even escape is an extravagant hope.
Fang Wei has more experience in the world, and knows this person better, and said: "It turns out that it is Tang Ao, the tricky sword who is best at unleashing swords."
Then Fang Mo said: "I heard that he is the only one who is willing to sell a first-grade master for money, and I don't know who is so generous and willing to pay such a big price for the two of us."
Fang Mo said "Oh", and said: "If you don't tell me, I thought he was a juggler. A good sword, he insisted on using it to perform broken boulders... Well, so to speak, his wallet is very big." People are ruthless as soon as they meet, obviously they won't let them go just because they are submissive, so they don't have to be too polite.
Fang Wei smiled and said: "That's natural, this is a fat sheep delivered to the door, we will be prosperous if we kill him!"
He said again, "Are you going up or am I going up?"
Fang Mo took out the dagger from his sleeve and said, "Since he uses a sword, of course I will. Someone should kindly teach him that a sword is a sword, and a flying sword is a flying sword. These are two completely different things. Don't think that if you fly the sword out, it becomes a flying sword... It's a sword, so you should hold it in your hand. What a free-hand sword, it's just... a crooked way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger in his hand pierced Tang Ao's face.
However, the person was still in the air, and a sword light flashed in front of him. Fang Mo raised his dagger, and only heard a "Dang", an irresistible force came from the dagger, Fang Mo groaned, and was crushed He landed on the ground, staggered a few times before standing still, blood slowly spilled from the corner of his lips... After meeting each other, the man had already suffered internal injuries with just one move.
The long sword that had been exchanged with Fang Mo in the air bounced back again, and it still fell back into the scabbard. From the beginning to the end, Tang Ao didn't even move his fingers. Looking at him, he sneered and said lightly: "Evil ways?"
Fang Mo wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, and said: "Of course it's crooked, it looks gimmicky, and it's nothing more than fancy and useless, but it's just relying on internal strength to hurt people. If you have the ability, use your off-hand sword to hurt me by a hair try?"
He said again: "Fang Wei, you are not allowed to make a move. Today, young master, I must teach him a lesson and let him know how to use a sword!"
Tang Ao smiled lightly, and said: "It's been a long time since no one dared to talk to me like this, it's interesting."
Fang Mo sneered and said, "No matter how good martial arts are, it's just a tool to kill people for money. Why pretend to be an expert? Sure enough, it's just like your sword. It's fancy but not useful!"
Picking up the short sword, he jumped forward again.
Seeing Fang Mo gloating, Fang Wei slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Don't eat!"
Fang Mo stretched out a hand and shook it at him, Fang Wei said angrily: "So what about fifty coins? If you don't want to eat, you won't eat it!"
Fang Mo ignored him, he didn't feel sorry for the fifty renminbi, but after passing this village, there would be no such shop, and he wouldn't be able to spend money if he wanted to, anyway, the only one who was hungry would be this angry uncle Fang , not him.

He still finds it unbelievable that the two of them, one nine years old and the other seven years old, have traveled so far without a penny or a grain of food... …He can climb trees to touch bird eggs, and go into the water to catch fish. Although Fang Mo is young, because he was taken outside by his father to identify herbs since he was a child, he knows exactly what can and cannot be eaten.
The two walked with each other's support during the day, and huddled together to sleep at night, because they touched a fish, found a bunch of dates, and laughed like two fools... Just like that, they survived day by day.
He also heard Fang Mo's unspoken words: So those people should be able to survive!
He didn't want to answer this question, so he said with a smile, "Xiaomo, how about I carry you?"
Fang Mo was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No!"
Fang Wei approached with a straight face: "Come on, come on, I'll carry you!"
At that time, seeing the little Fang Mo walking step by step with internal injuries, he twitched in distress, but he carried him on his back bravely, and he was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to take a few steps. He just fell on the ground and couldn't get up... So for a long time, his greatest wish was to grow strong and be able to carry that little guy on his back steadily...
This desire is even stronger than the desire to fill the stomach.
"do not want!"
"Come on, come on, it's tiring to walk, don't be shy!"
"Go away! Say no!"
"Then you carry me?"
"do not want!"
Smiling and chasing after him for a while, Fang Wei looked at Fang Mo, who is now better than himself in lightness kung fu, so he had no choice but to dispel the "evil thoughts" in his heart, lay down on a stone, rested his head on his arm, and said: "Xiaomo, why don't we find a place to serve as soldiers? Those people, eating grass roots and bark, can survive spring, summer, and autumn, but what about winter? Let's work together to overthrow that stupid king, will everyone be able to have a stable life earlier? If you don't do anything, you will always feel a little bit sorry."
Sitting beside him, Fang Mo said, "But if the emperor is overthrown, who will be the emperor? Isn't there going to be a war again? When I become a soldier, I will first fight with the soldiers who were forced into the army by the faint king, and then fight with us. Those who overthrow the faint king will fight... I don't want to fight."
Fang Wei said sullenly, "I don't want to fight either."
Then he had a sudden thought, and said: "Xiaomo, tell me, these people's banners are for the good of the people and for the peace of the world, so why don't they sit together after beating the faint king, punching while drinking, and then who Whoever wins will be the emperor? In this way, the world will be peaceful!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Fang Mo's muffled laughter from above his head, Fang Wei sighed and said, "So, those slogans are all deceitful, how many of these people rebelled for the common people? It’s just deceiving people to pay for it!”
Fang Mo said: "Actually, if we really want to attract people's hearts, these slogans are not good enough."
"Do you have better ones?"
"To put it bluntly, it is to lure them with profit," Fang Mo said: "Don't they all say that they rebelled for the benefit of the people? Then tell me, what can make the people feel at ease?"
"What?" Fang Wei thought for a while and said, "Land?"
"That's right," Fang Mo's mind suddenly came up with a word: "Equal wealth and honor, equal farmland."
He paused before continuing, and said: "In this world, [-]% of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of [-]% of the people because of land annexation. That is to say, most of the people in this world do not have land." , plus refugees are everywhere now... In this troubled world, it is really not too easy to rebel.
"Find a refugee gathering place with a lot of people, take them to rob a wealthy family that has stored a lot of food, and let them have a full meal... Then make a slogan, continue to rob, continue to distribute, those refugees will definitely come after hearing the news. Etc. If a larger area is laid down, the land will be distributed to the common people for farming, and those who have no land in the first place will yearn for it... If the development goes well, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
"In the final analysis, this world is still the world of the common people."
Fang Wei listened intently and did not speak.
"Dividing the land is the most attractive. In fact, those people don't know it. It's just that they don't dare, because they are wealthy themselves, and they can't destroy their foundation." Fang Mo continued: "And it seems that the momentum is very strong, but It is definitely not as good as those elite soldiers from wealthy families, no matter how many people there are, it will be a mess, and if it is not controlled properly, it will be prone to chaos in the later stage."
"Well, we have to make steady progress step by step," Fang Wei said: "There are also talents, not only talents who can conquer the world, but also talents who can govern the world."
Fang Mo hummed, and lay down next to Fang Wei, neither of them was interested in continuing the discussion—rebellion was too far away from them.
Spring is the season of sleepiness, and the sunshine in March is even more warm and inviting. The two of them lay down for a while, both a little drowsy. Fang Wei yawned, and was about to speak, but the words came out in a low voice: " Momo!"
Before he could speak, he closed his eyes as if Fang Mo, who was sleeping soundly, had opened his eyes. When Fang Wei said "Xiao Mo", both of them pressed the boulder at the same time, and one left and one right shot out.
There was a loud "boom" and the broken stones flew. There was a deep sword mark on the boulder where the two had just landed. If the two hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been broken into four pieces at this moment.
The sharp sword that hit the boulder whirled around in the air and fell back into a blue scabbard. The hand holding the scabbard was slender and fair. The person holding the sword was tall and tall, standing leisurely, and said lightly: "The reaction is actually Not slow."
Fang Mo and Fang Wei looked at each other, and they both read the deep alertness in each other's eyes: Yipin!
You must know that Fang Wei's martial arts is between the third rank and the second rank. At his age, having this strength is already very impressive, but looking at the whole Jianghu, it is really nothing.And Fang Mo, because of his serious partiality, his strength is hard to say... He can easily kill a second-rank expert by calculating and taking medicine in advance, but he may also try his best to break the defense of a third-rank warrior no.
You must know that two third-rank players may be able to deal with one second-rank master, but two second-rank masters can only escape if they meet a first-rank master.If it is the third rank, even escape is an extravagant hope.
Fang Wei has more experience in the world, and knows this person better, and said: "It turns out that it is Tang Ao, the tricky sword who is best at unleashing swords."
Then Fang Mo said: "I heard that he is the only one who is willing to sell a first-grade master for money, and I don't know who is so generous and willing to pay such a big price for the two of us."
Fang Mo said "Oh", and said: "If you don't tell me, I thought he was a juggler. A good sword, he insisted on using it to perform broken boulders... Well, so to speak, his wallet is very big." People are ruthless as soon as they meet, obviously they won't let them go just because they are submissive, so they don't have to be too polite.
Fang Wei smiled and said: "That's natural, this is a fat sheep delivered to the door, we will be prosperous if we kill him!"
He said again, "Are you going up or am I going up?"
Fang Mo took out the dagger from his sleeve and said, "Since he uses a sword, of course I will. Someone should kindly teach him that a sword is a sword, and a flying sword is a flying sword. These are two completely different things. Don't think that if you fly the sword out, it becomes a flying sword... It's a sword, so you should hold it in your hand. What a free-hand sword, it's just... a crooked way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger in his hand pierced Tang Ao's face.
However, the person was still in the air, and a sword light flashed in front of him. Fang Mo raised his dagger, and only heard a "Dang", an irresistible force came from the dagger, Fang Mo groaned, and was crushed He landed on the ground, staggered a few times before standing still, blood slowly spilled from the corner of his lips... After meeting each other, the man had already suffered internal injuries with just one move.
The long sword that had been exchanged with Fang Mo in the air bounced back again, and it still fell back into the scabbard. From the beginning to the end, Tang Ao didn't even move his fingers. Looking at him, he sneered and said lightly: "Evil ways?"
Fang Mo wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, and said: "Of course it's crooked, it looks gimmicky, and it's nothing more than fancy and useless, but it's just relying on internal strength to hurt people. If you have the ability, use your off-hand sword to hurt me by a hair try?"
He said again: "Fang Wei, you are not allowed to make a move. Today, young master, I must teach him a lesson and let him know how to use a sword!"
Tang Ao smiled lightly, and said: "It's been a long time since no one dared to talk to me like this, it's interesting."
Fang Mo sneered and said, "No matter how good martial arts are, it's just a tool to kill people for money. Why pretend to be an expert? Sure enough, it's just like your sword. It's fancy but not useful!"
Picking up the short sword, he jumped forward again.
