Forty-nine, troublesome

  Fan Zhen swung his knife and was about to stab him, but when he saw Liu Rushi's face, which was shocked and frightened yet still exceptionally beautiful, he hesitated.

  Liu Ruyi was extremely beautiful, although she couldn't be said to be stunningly beautiful enough to overthrow a city, but indeed had a natural beauty that even someone as heartless as Fan Zhen didn't make a move on her at first sight.

  Just then, he heard a loud shout.

  When the young master Wei entered the town, Yu Guozhen saw that there were only children and girls on this side, fearing that they would not be able to finish sweeping with their small strength, so he sent two partners to come and assist. These two partners were exactly Qi Niu's model partner and Ye Wuyue's partner. They walked halfway, saw the changes here, and suddenly rushed over quickly.

  This sudden move startled Fan Zhen, who had heard Fang San'er talk about the ferocity of Yu Jia's young guards, but still didn't quite believe it, thinking that no matter how strong they were, they were just a group of young whippersnappers. The past few days of watching them train outside also made him feel that they weren't anything special.

  It wasn't until after things had happened and the young master Wei rushed towards him that Fan Zhen realized that Fang San'er hadn't exaggerated at all.

  Ordinarily, when spying on the opponent's dull and rigid formations and physical training, at this moment they had already transformed into surging killing intent, rolling in like waves!

  Fan Zhen took a cold breath, knowing that if they were to engage in a fierce battle, his few men might not be able to win. Even if they could win, they would still be entangled by the enemy. The enemy had only two gangs now, but there were nine more gangs in the town, and once those nine gangs arrived together, Fan Zhen's group would have no chance of escaping.

  So the original plan to kill had to be changed, he glared at everyone with hatred, grabbed Liu Ruo's hair and put her on his shoulder.

  "Take this little one away too." He pointed again at Jiang Youzhong under his feet.

  With two hostages in hand, there is more room for action. Although these two hostages may not be important, they are better than returning empty-handed.

  They rowed the boat into the bay under the cover of night and hid it, about a mile away from the ambush site. Liu Ruzi and Jiang Youzhong were not heavy, so they didn't affect their speed much. However, when they ran to where the boat was hidden, Ye Wuyue's troops had already arrived, while Qi Niu's model troops chased after them in hot pursuit!

  The young man in his hand was holding a shovel and broom, which were not their usual weapons, but at this time who could care about that much. Qi Niu's shovel swept across, directly sweeping away the last Huanxiang disciple's leg. The disciple actually had some martial skills, but facing the unreasonable fighting method of the shovel, and being ambushed from behind, no matter how high one's martial arts were, they would still be knocked down by a brick. As a result, he was only left holding his broken leg and crying out in pain while rolling around on the ground.

  The scream didn't last long, but it was a model partner with Ziniu!

  The young guards of the Mo Fan House, who had disappointed Yu Guo Zhen with their performance last time, were not appointed as team leaders. However, in reality, each of them had one or two lives in their hands, and they did not show any mercy when killing enemies. The Huan Xiang Sect disciple was knocked to the ground, followed by a broom sweeping down on his head, leaving dozens of bloody marks on his face. Before he could react, hoes and shovels swarmed in, and in an instant, the disciple was silenced.

  Fan Zhen was furious in his heart. These little guys were more troublesome than he had imagined, and now they wouldn't be able to get back on the boat in time!

  "Kill these little thieves!" he shouted sternly.

  Before he could finish speaking, Master Fragrance and his followers had already charged at Model Partners with their swords drawn.

  In order to be as secretive as possible, this time the Fragrance Sect sent five people, but they were all strong masters of the sect who excelled in martial arts, each with at least a dozen lives on their hands. Among them was one person who had traveled extensively to visit famous masters and learned martial arts from the Cheng family, although he hadn't fully mastered it, he could already be an enemy of ten people.

  He swung his sword and rushed towards Qi Niu, the sword light flashed like lightning, cutting off Qi Niu's neck. The Japanese sword technique has been passed down since Ji Jingyang, and it has been spread all over the world, famous for its techniques, such as Shan Sannan, Cheng Chongdou, Liu Yunfeng, they are all masters of this school, Shi Jingyan is also one of them. When the Huanxiang Sect disciple swung his sword, even if Qi Niu was a real cow, he would have been beheaded!

  He encountered a model partner, and the model partners were young people who had been with Yu Guozhen since morning and evening. Their small team's combat skills were already extremely proficient. At the same time as Qi Niu retreated and dodged, his companions on both sides, one swung a broom to sweep away the famous Xiangjiao sect disciple's long knife, while the other thrust forward with a pickaxe.

  "Ah!"

  The Xiangjiao disciple's wrist lightly twisted, and the broom that was sweeping the knife was suddenly cut off. Even the iron trowel that was stabbing him was also broken into two pieces by his smooth swing!

  However, the other two iron trowels stabbed again, and Zicow had already stabilized his body shape and swung his trowel to strike.

  If it were one-on-one, none of the boys from the Model Partners would be a match for those Huanxiang Sect disciples. Even if Gao Dazhuang and Gao Erzhuang came, they would still be no match. Perhaps only Gao Buping could withstand them for a few more rounds. But now it's not one-on-one, it's small teams against small teams. The Huanxiang Sect disciples are used to fighting alone and never thought of covering each other or working together, relying solely on individual bravery. This gave the Model Partners an opportunity.

  Even those martial arts masters were afraid of being surrounded and attacked by Min Zhong and Ding Yong!

  The followers of the Fragrance Sect, dodged to the left and avoided the hoe on the right, and let Qi Niu's hoe pass, but as soon as he went down, someone hooked him with a rake, and he fell backwards. Although he held the knife flower to protect his body, the knife was short and the hoe was long, and after losing his balance, his strength was not enough, unable to chop off the hoe handle, and was instantly chopped by two hoes.

  The spades in the hands of the young men were all newly forged, with sharp edges like knives. With a single swing, that famous Fragrance Sect disciple had half his head chopped off!

  "Ah!"

  At this time, Fan Zhen realized that he was in big trouble. Although they didn't come out empty-handed, one of the young men from the model partner had also been knocked to the ground and was unknown whether he was dead or alive. However, their strongest warrior had also been lost, and there were only five people on this trip, with two already down!

  "On board...... Ah!"

  Fortunately, they have now arrived at the place where the small boat is hidden. A follower was shouting to get on the boat, but the shout instantly turned into a scream, because Ye Wuyue's gang had also arrived!

  They didn't know that except for Ye Wuyue himself, the others in his group had never personally seen blood, but only saw the model group's fierce fighting power and assumed that this group was also fearless of death. Faced with being surrounded, although these Xiangxiang Sect disciples were fugitives, they also felt fear.

  "Damn it!" Fan Zhen was furious, and with one swift motion, he put down Liu Rushi from his shoulder and placed the horizontal knife on Liu's neck: "Everyone stand still!"

  Another Huanxiang disciple also put down Jiang Youzhong, with a knife to his throat. Seeing this scene, both Qi Niu and Ye Wuyue's groups stopped in their tracks, they all knew that Yu Guozhen valued Jiang Youzhong highly, and Liu Rushi was even more Yu Guozhen's personal maid, if these two people were to meet with an accident, even if Yu Guozhen did not pursue their responsibility, they themselves would be uneasy at heart!

  It turned out that using a hostage as a threat was effective, and Fan Zhen let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he suddenly realized that just now, in just a short while, the clothes on his back had already been soaked through with sweat, and when the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.

  "Damn it, these little brats, they look like they're just that capable, but how come they're so hard to deal with? I must have underestimated them!" He cursed inwardly. From being discovered while hiding, to being chased after escaping, and then being killed by someone skilled in martial arts, the whole process was beyond his expectations.

  He knew he couldn't stay here for long. After going back and reporting to the master, he must emphasize repeatedly that this little guy with the surname Yu was not easy to deal with.

  "Make way!" he shouted again.

  Ye Wuyue's face turned iron-green, he didn't know how to deal with this situation. Seeing the thief's knife on Liu Ruzi's neck slightly exerting force, a blood mark instantly appeared on Liu Ruzi's neck, and he could only retreat step by step, yielding the road.

  Fan Zhen sneered: "That's right, you little brats! You dare to cause trouble for the heroes of Taihu Lake? Today I'll take away this little girl and little rabbit, tomorrow I'll come back for your dog lives!"

  He said as he led Liu Ruzi onto the boat, the only one with an empty hand among the followers holding oars in the back, Fan Zhen himself took a step forward and got on the small boat.

  Just as he stepped onto the boat, suddenly a chill ran through his lower abdomen, followed by severe pain. He was taken aback and looked down to see that Liu Ru had broken free from his arm and jumped directly into the water.

  This was the icy waters of December, cold to the bone. As soon as Liu Ruosi jumped in, her hands and feet became numb, unable to move at all, and she sank straight down into the river!

  Fan Zhen let out a thunderous roar at this moment, because in his abdomen, a short sword had actually been inserted!

  It's more like a short dagger, only one palm long. On a cold winter day, people wear thick clothes, so Liu Ruzi had such a dagger on him, and Fan Zhen didn't notice at all!

  Blood flowed out of the short dagger, which was given to Liu Ruzi by Yu Guozhen. It wasn't a famous product, but Liu Ruzi had been impressed when she saw the young guards training and performing, so Yu Guozhen gave her one. Originally it was just meant to add some heroic spirit to her, but she treasured it like a precious jewel, always carrying it with her. She never thought that today it would come in handy!

  Fan Zhen's loud cry also stunned the Xiangxiangjiao disciple who was holding Jiang Youzhong, and then he felt a severe pain in his wrist, which was bitten by Jiang Youzhong.

  Jiang Youzhong was stubborn and once he made up his mind, he would not let go. He bit down on the Huanxiang Sect disciple with equal ferocity. The disciple cried out in pain, his voice harmonizing with Fan Zhen's mournful howls. The other Huanxiang Sect disciple who was responsible for cutting off their escape route couldn't help but turn around to look when he heard the sudden commotion behind him.

  Ye Wu's nature was sharp and sensitive. This time, he would never miss the opportunity. He let out a low roar of "Kill" and swung his hoe to strike.

  His voice was a command to his own team, but although they had been training for some time, they were still inexperienced in real combat and reacted a step slower. On the other hand, Qi Niu's model team split up and charged forward, with no need for discussion, their cooperation was extremely tacit. Some of them worked together to attack Ye Wuyue, while others rushed past to board the ship, and some even jumped into the water to rescue Liu Ruzi.

  In the blink of an eye, the stalemate was broken!
