"I said beat him up..." The soldier turned around as he spoke. Then, he saw a youth standing beside him.
He was dressed in a blue robe. His face was slightly immature and he looked no more than 15 or 16 years old.
He had been in the Northern Mountain Village for a month but he had never seen this youth. This youth must be the "Zhengzhi" that the villagers were talking about.
However, why was he suddenly beside him?
He was at the edge of the square just a moment ago.
The distance from the edge of the square to the center of the square was at least a hundred meters. Most importantly, the square was filled with tables and villagers.
How could he … in just a few sentences …
Just as the soldier was about to berate him, he felt his throat tighten. He looked down to see a hand strangling his throat. Then, his feet left the ground.
This made it difficult for him to breathe.
He wanted to move but he could not. It was as if he was being restrained. His hands, legs, and even his eyelids could not move.
"Stop!" At this moment, the commander stood up from his seat. His face was a little flushed, as if he had drunk a little too much. However, his eyes were filled with anger.
He placed one hand on the sword at his waist, but he did not draw it out of its sheath.
The reason was that Fang Zhengzhi's speed was so fast that even he could not see it clearly. All he saw was a blue shadow. This made him extremely shocked.
"Zheng 'er, don't!" Qin Xuelian looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing beside her. She was clearly frightened by this scene.
"Ah, Zhengzhi... quick, let him go. Don't interfere. I am tough, I will be fine after a beating!" Fang Houde shouted.
"Zhengzhi!" Zhang Yangping yelled. He turned to the commander and said, "General Wang, this is a misunderstanding. Zhengzhi has just returned to the village and does not know what happened. I have some silver here to pay for your drinks. I hope that General Wang can let Houde and Zhengzhi go... "
"Uncle Yangping!" Fang Zhengzhi interrupted Zhang Yangping and tightened his grip.
The soldier whose feet were suspended in the air immediately paled, his lips turning purple. His eyeballs were protruding and bloodshot. This was a sign of extreme hypoxia.
"Brat, you dare to oppose our army?" Seeing the soldier's almost suffocating expression, the leading soldier tightened his grip on the two swords at his waist.
At this moment, a white figure walked out from behind Fang Zhengzhi. It was Chi Guyan.
"Hello, uncle, auntie!" Chi Guyan bowed slightly to Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. He was as respectful as a junior meeting an elder.
To the people of the Northern Mountain Village, this seemed extremely normal.
However, if someone who knew Chi Guyan saw this, they would definitely be so shocked that their front teeth would fall to the ground. How could someone as arrogant as Chi Guyan bow to someone?
This was a treatment that even the current Emperor, Lin Mubai, did not enjoy.
"Ah? It's Gu Yan … You're here too? Get Zheng 'er to put him down! " When Qin Xuelian saw Chi Guyan beside her, she was shocked and embarrassed.
Those who came from afar were guests. Moreover, they were the "guests" that Qin Xuelian liked. In that case, let the guests see today's scene. This caused Qin Xuelian to feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't worry, let him handle this. Uncle, auntie, let me accompany you to the side." Chi Guyan tugged on Qin Xuelian's arm as she spoke. She walked to the side.
Qin Xuelian did not quite understand what Chi Guyan meant. However, she did not know why, but she trusted Chi Guyan's words. She did not want to leave, but her footsteps were unconsciously pulled to the side by Chi Guyan.
"Who are you?!" This was the first time that the leading soldier felt like he was being ignored. Furthermore. He was being ignored by both of them.
"Is that important?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Hmph, if I am not wrong, you are the kid who passed the provincial Law of Dao examinations? I did not expect you to be so young, but do you know what you are doing now? Going against the army is equivalent to rebelling! If you let them go now and apologize to my soldiers one by one, I can pretend that today's matter never happened! "
The leading soldier's eyes glowed icily. He knew that there was a youth who passed the provincial Law of Dao examinations in the Northern Mountain Village. However, he did not expect him to be so young.
This caused him to change his mind instantly.
To be able to pass the provincial Law of Dao examinations at such a young age, his future was limitless. It was extremely unwise to offend such a person over such a small matter.
If Fang Zhengzhi did not return, he would have a hundred ways to deal with this matter. He could even threaten the village to keep this matter a secret.
However, Fang Zhengzhi had returned. Furthermore, from Fang Zhengzhi's tone, he could clearly sense the arrogance in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes …
As such, he had to leave a path of retreat for himself.
"Nothing happened today? If … I kill him, can you pretend that nothing happened today? "Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile.
"Don't you dare! He has military records and is a soldier of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if you passed the imperial examination and were given an official position, killing a soldier of the Great Xia Dynasty for no reason is still a crime punishable by death! "The leader's expression changed.
He could feel Fang Zhengzhi's icy aura. However, he did not believe that someone who had just passed the provincial Law of Dao examinations would dare to kill a soldier in front of everyone.
"Zhengzhi, don't be rash!" Zhang Yangping was stunned when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. He could understand how Fang Zhengzhi felt.
Anyone would be infuriated to see their own parents being bullied.
However, killing a soldier of the Great Xia Dynasty was akin to destroying his own future. Fang Zhengzhi had always been the pride and hope of the Northern Mountain Village. How could he allow such a youth to destroy his own future?
The other villagers were also in a state of panic. Fang Zhengzhi was protecting Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. This was something that was expected of him. However, the other party was a soldier of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He had orders.
If what Fang Zhengzhi said was true, killing a soldier would be seen as treason. What would they do then?
"Release him now!!" All of the soldiers shouted in unison. They did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi would kill in a fit of rage.
"Kacha!"
A crisp sound rang out from Fang Zhengzhi's hand.
The soldier who was lifted up by Fang Zhengzhi's hand widened his eyes. He never expected Fang Zhengzhi to kill in a fit of rage. Furthermore, he did it so openly and without hesitation.
His neck was broken. His brain could no longer take in oxygen. His pupils dilated and his head tilted to the side...
Fang Zhengzhi released his hand.
The soldier's body fell to the ground with a thud. He was facing Qin Xuelian. Then, he slowly collapsed to the ground.
A few hours ago, Fang Zhengzhi had encountered the same problem in Huai An County.
Trespassers were to be executed.
At that time, Fang Zhengzhi had asked for Chi Guyan's opinion. This time, he did not ask. There was no need to.
This was the second time Fang Zhengzhi had killed someone.
The first time was when he used the Traceless Sword to kill Ying Shan in the World of the Sage. That was out of desperation. This time, he was truly killing someone.
Every dragon had a reverse scale.
Fang Zhengzhi had one too. His reverse scales were Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.
Eight years ago, Fang Houde was bullied by Li Zhuangshi. At that time, Fang Zhengzhi suppressed his anger and did not kill him. This was because he felt that a fight between villagers was like a family squabble. It was an internal fight.
Of course, the main reason was that Fang Zhengzhi knew that his father in this life, Fang Houde, did not want him to kill Li Zhuangshi. Regardless of the reason, Fang Houde's expression told him this.
However, this time was different.
Even though Fang Houde did not want him to kill this soldier, their motivations were completely different.
Fang Zhengzhi had lived in a peaceful era in his previous life. To him, killing was a difficult thing to do. It was also something that he did not want to do.
However, he did not hesitate at all when he killed this soldier.
Furthermore...
This was not the end.
Fang Zhengzhi did not look at the soldier on the ground. His gaze lingered on the tables around him. He saw the meat and wine in the middle. He also saw the vegetables on the other tables.
These were two completely different dishes.
The difference was clear.
Rage raged in Fang Zhengzhi's heart. Never before had his rage been so intense as it was today …
The commander was also enraged.
"Clang!"
He finally pulled out his sword. He had never been ignored like this before. Moreover, it was by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"..."
At the same time that the commander drew his sword, close to a hundred soldiers also drew their swords from their waists. Everyone's eyes were filled with fury and shock.
They were truly shocked by Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
Saying and doing were two completely different things.
Fang Zhengzhi had said it, but, no one thought that he would really do it. Furthermore, he would do it so decisively in front of the hundreds of soldiers.
What else could be more daring than this?
"You dare to rebel!" The commander roared angrily. He knew very well that there was no point in negotiating at this point. Regardless of Fang Zhengzhi's future, this feud had already been formed.
Then, in order to avoid future revenge...
