Chapter 172 Big Fish and Big Fool

"laugh!"

A feather arrow shot out from the vibrating bowstring quickly, making a sharp sound as it broke through the air.

A sika deer howled in the distance, a pool of blood splattered on its neck, and fell to the ground.

Wang Zhongguang put away the long bow in his hand, turned over and dismounted.

He walked slowly towards the body of his prey step by step, his face as gloomy as water.

Wang Zhongguang stood next to the still warm carcass of the sika deer, looking down at the blood on its neck that dyed the soil beneath it into scarlet.

"Squeak!"

He raised his foot and stepped hard on the sika deer's neck.

The hard bones made a breaking sound, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out from the wound, staining Wang Zhongguang's pants, clothes, and face.

But he seemed not to notice it at all.

Wang Zhongguang licked a trace of deer blood at the corner of his mouth and showed a cold smile.

Deer blood is sweet and much better to drink than human blood.

But he still prefers to drink human blood.

It is undoubtedly a spiritually pleasing thing to watch those of your own kind struggling and wailing step by step in your own hands until they are no longer human.

He slowly squatted down, lowered his head, and sipped the fresh deer blood.

It was only then that the anger that had accumulated in his heart for many days weakened slightly.

What a wonderful taste, it would be even better if it was human blood...

I wonder what Fang Weihan’s blood tastes like?

Wang Zhongguang is looking forward to it.

Not far away, a man came in a hurry on horseback.

"Second Young Master!"

He turned over and dismounted, ran up to Wang Zhongguang in small steps, and knelt down on one knee respectfully and fearfully.

"It's time to make an appointment with the young master soon."

Wang Zhongguang said nothing.

This area was extremely quiet, with almost no sound at all.

But the man kneeling on one knee seemed to hear the gurgling sound of deer blood flowing.

He was a little creepy.

"Second Young Master."

He swallowed and lowered his head.

Wang Zhongguang raised his head and wiped his mouth with his hand.

"I see."

He said lightly.

"Go gather everyone and get ready to go."

"Yes!"

As if he had been granted amnesty, the man breathed a sigh of relief and ran away quickly.

If possible, he didn't want to stay with his moody second son for a moment longer.

Wang Zhongguang watched his leaving figure quietly, his face expressionless.

He knew that this person was afraid of him.

In other words, Wang Zhongguang knew that most people in Changming City were afraid of him.

And except for them, everyone else hates themselves.

But there are also people who like him, such as his eldest brother Wang Boguang.

Wang Zhongguang smiled coldly.

From the moment Wang Boguang proposed the so-called clever plan that day, Wang Zhongguang had already realized what he was planning.

He is a descendant of the Uehara Wang family and the second son of Zhongshu Ling Wang Tun. How could he not see that this is almost an obvious plan!
Wang Boguang wanted to put himself in danger and treat himself as an abandoned son.

If you advance, you can use yourself to force the palace saint to ascend; if you retreat, you can use your own destiny to sacrifice your car to protect the commander.

If it succeeds, all the credit will be his; if it fails, the only one who bears the responsibility will be himself.

Ha, perfect plan, isn't it?
Wang Boguang proposed this plan without even asking his own opinion. He was really confident that he would agree.

In a sense, he seems to be right, too.

After all, even his own father didn’t refuse, right?
Wang Zhongguang suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he almost burst into tears.

Wang Tun, Wang Tun, you obviously know everything, but you are just watching.

Watching his eldest son force his second son to a dead end!
Just, just, watching from there!

He fell to the ground and retched violently.

The deer blood he had just drank spilled from the corners of his mouth and dripped onto the scarlet soil.

You are really well-intentioned for the future of yourself as the heir!
"You want me to die... You all want me to die... but I want to live well. I want to live better than anyone else!"

Wang Zhongguang smiled gloomily.

"I not only want myself to live, I also want Wang Boguang to die!"

"Wang Tun, I want you to watch carefully how the heir I personally trained was destroyed by me step by step!"

On the surface Wang Zhongguang agreed to Wang Boguang's plan, but in fact he had his own plans.

He knew that he was the executor of this matter, but Wang Boguang was the planner.

As long as he executes it according to his will without any misinterpretation, Wang Boguang will have no choice but to come out and bear the responsibility with him.

Even if he chooses himself as the scapegoat, he will still have to die for half his life.

So what I can do is try to magnify this small matter and execute it more radically.

Isn’t this considered against your wishes, Wang Boguang?Isn't it?

You just asked me to provoke Fang Weihan, but you didn't say to what extent, right?
Even if I kill Fang Weihan, isn’t that what you want?

Wang Zhongguang stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Of course he would not kill Fang Weihan.

After his investigation of Fang Weihan these days, Wang Zhongguang had a better plan.

……

Changming City, the outer city.

Ji Gang was doing a routine inspection of the streets as usual.

The so-called routine inspection means walking around the street to see if there is anything that the neighbors need to feedback.

Since Ji Gang took over this neighborhood, he has been working hard to manage the neighborhood and strive to do everything personally.

This also gradually improved the evaluation of Ji Gang by the people nearby.

At first, everyone just thought he was a deserter from Changyuan and looked down upon him. Later, they learned that Ji Gang had sneaked back because his mother was seriously ill, and they began to feel some pity for his miserable situation.

But now, when they saw Ji Gang following His Highness Prince Guangling to defeat the Song Clan and conscientiously seeking benefits for the neighbors, they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

It can be said that Ji Gang's current status and achievements are undoubtedly the result of his own efforts.

Ji Gang touched the pendant around his neck while chatting with the neighbors.

The pendant is a copper coin.

This copper coin is different from ordinary copper coins. There is a corner missing on the round coin, but the missing corner has a completely different luster than other places.

There is no doubt that this is a counterfeit coin.A worthless counterfeit coin.

But it was the only thing left to Ji Gang by his father who abandoned his wife and children.

Ji Gang remembered that that night, he put the copper coin on the old wooden stake and left without looking back.

He is a Changyuan Iron Guard, just like himself.

But I am different from him.

He regards the career of Changguan Tetsuwei as more important than his family and life.For a so-called conscription order, one can even abandon one's wife and children.

I couldn't do such a thing myself, so I became a deserter.

Ji Gang vowed to become a person worthy of his family, friends, and benefactors, to prove that he and his father were not the same at all.

This is why he takes his current job so seriously.

"Thank you very much, Ji Gang."

The old man with white hair said tremblingly.

"If it weren't for you, I don't know what kind of chaos this place would be."

Ji Gang held his arm and said with an honest smile:
"No need to thank me, it's mainly due to His Highness."

"You and His Highness are both our benefactors."

The old man coughed and said calmly.

"If your mother were still here, she would be very happy to see how promising you are now."

When Ji Gang heard this, his face darkened, and he unconsciously clenched the copper coin tightly.

"Look at my mouth!"

The old man realized that he had made a mistake and quickly tried to make amends for himself.

"As people get older, it's easier to talk nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

As the old man talked, he felt that Wuyan could continue to stay, so he quickly broke away from Ji Gang's support.

"It's okay, Uncle Song. I've already..."

Before Ji Gang finished speaking, he heard a burst of noise and noise coming from the far corner of the street.

"Uncle Song, please go back by yourself first. I'm going to see what's going on over there."

Ji Gang said.

"It's okay, go ahead!"

Uncle Song said quickly.

……

On another corner of the block.

"Look! This place was never like this before."

This is a clear and energetic girl's voice, which makes people think of the peach blossoms in spring.

It was Tao Yunjiang.

She and Xiao Jin had just rushed back to Changming City from Fufeng today. Xiao Jin had returned to the Xiao family's residence in Lanling, but she went straight to this outer city area without resting.

At this moment, she was explaining something to the two people behind her with great interest.

"Uncle Zhang can testify that this place was broken before. It's completely different from what it is now."

One of them is Uncle Zhang.

He could only nod helplessly after hearing this.

"That's true. The reason why this area can develop and take on a completely new look is indispensable to King Guangling Fang Weihan."

"Even Uncle Zhang thinks so!"

Tao Yunjiang smiled with satisfaction and turned his attention to the other person.

He was wearing a mask made of an unknown material and a large bamboo hat around his body. People could not clearly see his appearance, and could only vaguely identify him as a thin adult man.

"Lord Yiyin, what do you think?"

The girl asked expectantly.

"I have already confirmed that he is nothing like those children from aristocratic families. And more importantly, he has the same ideals in his heart as we do, and he is all about using his sword for the sake of the people of the world."

"Can we invite Fang Weihan to join us?"

The man named "Yi Yin" did not speak. Instead, Uncle Zhang spoke first:

"Yun Jiang, I think there is something wrong with this matter."

"What's wrong?"

Tao Yunjiang asked immediately.

She looked at Uncle Zhang angrily.

Uncle Zhang remained silent.

"Uncle Zhang, now that it's happened, you still think he's just faking it, right?"

Tao Yunjiang understood what he meant instantly and asked.

Uncle Zhang didn't say anything, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

Tao Yunjiang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"If he was pretending, he would never speak out such lofty ideals; if he was pretending, he wouldn't care about these useless things when his future is uncertain; if he was pretending..."

The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, already a bit angry.

She was really fed up with this kind of frustration that her sweetheart was questioned by others, this kind of grievance that her career and ideals were not known by her sweetheart!

Even now, Tao Yunjiang can still recall the disappointed look that Fang Weihan looked at him in the Guangling Palace that night when there was chaos in Changming City.

Every time she thought about it, the girl felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

She didn't want to endure it any longer!

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you believe him?" The girl had used an angry questioning tone that was rarely seen in her.

Uncle Zhang was about to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, which seemed to be mixed with curses.

Tao Yunjiang suppressed this matter for the time being.

"Let's go see?"

She saw "Yi Yin" nodding, so she walked over with the two of them.

……

……

On the streets of Changming City, Wang Zhongguang and his entourage were galloping on their horses as if there was no one around.

Pedestrians on the road fled in panic, but did not dare to curse loudly.He had to secretly spit to express his bad luck.

They know that most people who dare to do this are people they can't afford to offend.

"Second Young Master, why do we have to take such a long detour?"

The man who just came to report to Wang Zhongguang was walking side by side with Wang Zhongguang.

"The time agreed between the young master and us is coming soon. If we..."

"Snapped!"

Wang Zhongguang raised his riding crop and whipped a sharp air blast in mid-air in front of him.

The man was so frightened that he quickly apologized tremblingly and fell one step behind him, not daring to say anything more.

In this way, they ran rampant all the way until they reached the neighborhood where Ji Gang was.

At this moment, Wang Zhongguang jerked his horse's back again, deliberately speeding up.

The people behind him had no choice but to follow.

Seeing their formation, the crowd on the road ahead hurriedly fled in panic, screaming, cursing, and scolding being heard all the time.

But there are always people who can't be avoided.

"Success!"

A woman's shrill cry rang out.

A little boy was chasing and kicking the pebbles on the road, and at some point he had reached the middle of the road, where the horse team must pass.

"My child! Save my child!"

The woman seemed to be going crazy and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd, but the wall of people in front of her blocked her back like an iron wall.

Those in front of her didn't dare to save the child.

One is that there is really no time, and they are afraid of losing their lives.Another thing is that they don't want to risk offending a big man on a horse to save a child they don't know.

Amidst the woman's shrill shouts, the child got closer and closer to the cavalry.

The little boy, who was concentrating on playing with small stones, didn't know what was about to happen.

Being immersed in curiosity about new things, he had temporarily forgotten his mother.

The sound of horse hooves like thunder was getting closer and closer.

People around him couldn't bear to close their eyes, not wanting to see the bloody scene that followed.

At this time, Tao Yunjiang happened to see this scene.

Without any hesitation, blood surged under her feet, and she was ready to go and save people.

However, a stronger blood energy suddenly appeared, firmly holding her in place.

Tao Yunjiang turned around in disbelief.

"...Uncle Zhang?"

"Yun Jiang, you can't go."

Uncle Zhang said helplessly.

"The person on the horse is the second son of the Uehara Wang family. If you go to rescue him, you may cause unnecessary trouble to the organization."

"Are you just going to watch that child die here?"

The girl clenched her fists and asked angrily.

"This is not what I mean alone. Lord 'Yi Yin' also means this."

Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly.

The girl suddenly turned her gaze to the man in the bamboo hat, and saw that he nodded slightly.

Tao Yunjiang stood there in despair, as if all his strength had been drained away.

"For the sake of the longer-term grand plan, these slight sufferings can be tolerated."

Uncle Zhang said calmly.

"You are still young and there are some things you don't understand. You will understand them gradually in the future."

Tao Yunjiang never spoke again.

She was disappointed now, but mostly angry at her own incompetence.

If only I could be stronger, strong enough to break free from everyone's shackles on me, strong enough to change all the injustices in the world...

The fists in the girl's hands clenched tighter.

At this moment, a burst of exclamations broke out from the crowd.

The girl quickly looked around and saw a familiar figure rushing out of the crowd, hugging the little boy and rolling to the side before the horse's hoof stepped on his body.

It's Ji Gang!
Tao Yunjiang recognized the person and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good if people are saved.

She was overjoyed.

Ji Gang rolled the little boy to the side of the road. His body was stained with a lot of dust, but the little boy's clothes were intact.

He protected his body and was careful to avoid the ground.

"It's okay, don't cry!"

Ji Gang smiled gloomily at the little boy.

The little boy didn't cry.

He blinked in confusion, but smiled happily.

Ji Gang looked at him smiling and couldn't help but smile too.

"Thank you... thank you!"

The woman squeezed through the crowd, hugged her child, knelt down and expressed her gratitude through tears.

"It's okay, it should be."

Ji Gang stood up.

"it is good!"

I don’t know who took the lead, but a burst of cheers and applause broke out from the crowd.

They were all moved by Ji Gang's act of sacrificing his life to save others.

Ji Gang cupped his fists and saluted everyone.

At this moment, the crowd gradually became quiet.

There was silence for a while.

Ji Gang turned around and saw that the group of horsemen turned their horses around again and drove their horses over slowly.

A young man with a sinister face was at the front and seemed to be the leader of the group.

When he was close to Ji Gang, he spoke:

"I am Wang Zhongguang, son of Zhongshu Ling Wang Tun, from the Shangyuan Wang family."

Ji Gang was secretly alert.

Uehara Wang family?Isn't that the family that is at odds with His Highness?
"Ji Gang, a common man, has met Mr. Wang."

Ji Gang bowed his hands in a salute without being humble or arrogant.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Wang Zhongguang smiled kindly and waved his hand.

"I came back here specifically just to ask..."

"Are you willing to work for me in the future?"

As soon as this statement came out, it instantly caused an uproar among the crowd.

Second Young Master Wang actually invited Ji Gang to work for him?
No matter what this man's character is, he is the son of the Uehara Wang family after all!

If you get along with someone like this, wouldn't it mean that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life?
Although His Highness King Guangling is a vassal king, he is still much inferior to this young master in the context of the decline of the royal family.

Suddenly, everyone cast their envious eyes on Ji Gang.

Why are you still hesitating? I agree!

Many people even secretly thought in their hearts that if they were Ji Gang, they would definitely agree directly.

"Thank you for your great love, but Ji Gang only wants to make a living for his fellow villagers and cannot enter that high temple."

Ji Gang didn't even hesitate and refused directly.

The crowd was in an uproar again.

But they couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration and shame for Ji Gang.

This Ji Gang is really a good man who values ​​love and justice!
"Um……"

Wang Zhongguang nodded noncommittally.

"You really don't want to?"

He asked condescendingly while sitting on the horse.

Ji Gang didn't say anything, just handed over again.

Huge pressure was passed on Ji Gang, but he never changed his expression.

Everyone onlookers sweated for him.

But to their surprise, Wang Zhongguang just said lightly:

"Okay, you can go."

He had no intention of settling accounts with Ji Gang.

Ji Gang was also a little unsure about what Wang Zhongguang wanted to do.

But since he said so, Ji Gang could only agree.

After he saluted again, he turned around and prepared to leave.

I'm afraid that the Uehara Wang family may be making big moves. They have to find a way to contact His Highness Prince Guangling in the next few days and ask him to be more careful...

Just as Ji Gang was thinking this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness in his chest.

What followed was a sharp pain that seemed to go straight into his soul.

Ji Gang's mouth suddenly overflowed with bright red blood, dripping down his chin and onto the ground.

He bowed his head in disbelief.

A bright sword edge had already pierced his chest, and it was still stained with his own flesh and blood.

When Tao Yunjiang saw this scene in the distance, the blood energy in his body surged again, and he seemed to be trying to break through the blockade and suppression.

Uncle Zhang had no choice but to increase the blood energy delivery again.

"Uncle Zhang, let go of me."

Tao Yunjiang's voice calmed down at this time.

Her voice was low, but it seemed to contain boundless anger.

Uncle Zhang sighed and remained silent.

The blood energy fluctuations in his body still did not weaken by half, and even increased a little.

"I told you to let go of me!"

Tao Yunjiang already held the Qicang Sword in his hand.

She repeated it again with an extremely cold voice.

Uncle Zhang still didn't speak.

Yi Yin, who was wearing a cloak, just watched all this quietly, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.

"Hey!"

Wang Zhongguang withdrew the long sword in his hand with great indifference, bringing up a pool of blood again.

It was only then that the people around realized what had happened.

A woman wanted to scream, but the people around her tightly covered her mouth.
Some people had angry expressions on their faces, but they dared not express their anger and could only lower their heads in anger.

Just like that, in the silent and silent street, Ji Gang slowly knelt down on the ground.

The sword pierced his lungs, and now Ji Gang's breathing was a little difficult.

No, I can't die yet.

I also want to tell His Highness... The Uehara Wang family is going to be detrimental to him!

Ji Gang struggled to support his body.

He used his hands and feet to move forward bit by bit.

His fingers clenched onto the dirt, leaving bloody fingerprints one after another.
