Gate of God

Chapter 165: Murder in the courtyard

Views:

();

The attic arranged by Pingyang is only separated from the birthday banquet by a small courtyard. ⊥,

This was the attic she had specially chosen, so that when Fang Zheng screamed in pain, she could open the attic door all at once from outside.

Therefore, when Pingyang made such a shocking sound in the attic, those sitting at the birthday banquet naturally heard it clearly.

For example, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, and another example is Han Changfeng, the governor of the Royal Academy.

Even Chi Guyan, who was reading a book in another small courtyard, heard Pingyang's voice and looked curiously in the direction of the attic with eyes like stars.

"That shameless little thief... what did he do to Pingyang?"

Chi Guyan's first thought was that Pingyang should have suffered some losses at the hands of Fang Zhengyi. This was not beyond her expectation, but she was a little curious about what kind of losses Pingyang had suffered, and why he was screaming so loudly. So miserable

After Duan Wang Lin Xinjue and Han Changfeng heard Pingyang's voice, they quickly exchanged looks. Both of them saw the murderous intent flashing in each other's eyes.

As for the other guests, they all looked quickly towards the attic opposite.

Then, they all saw the maids, sergeants and servants kneeling all over the small courtyard in front of the attic door.

They didn't understand what happened.

but…

But they all heard what Princess Pingyang said: "Fang Zhengzheng, I must kill you!"

So, their eyes naturally fell on a young man wearing a blue gown standing at the door of the attic, because that person was Fang Zhengzheng.

Fang Zhengzheng, who had just escaped from the attic, naturally heard the sound. He was a little curious, who was the girl who took off her clothes in the attic

Why can the other party call me by his name

Do you know her yourself

While thinking this way, Fang Zhengzheng once again thought back to the way he saw the girl in the attic just now. He vaguely felt that the girl seemed familiar, especially those clear, watery eyes that made him feel extremely familiar.

Of course, Fang Zhengzheng didn't have much thought to consider this issue right now.

Because there was a bigger problem before him.

He saw the maids kneeling all over the courtyard. Sergeant and servant.

Naturally, it is impossible for these people to kneel down on themselves.

So…

There is only one possibility, these people are all kneeling to the girl in the attic.

This point is not difficult to guess. Fang Zhengzheng spent some time wandering around Yanjing City. It is very clear that people in this world have very strong class ideology.

Recalling the scene in front of the mansion, when the girl fell off her horse, everyone seemed to have a strange look of fear, and then, when the girl rushed to the attic. Everyone followed with all their might.

He didn't think too much at the time, but subjectively thought that the acrobatic girl was a little embarrassed after falling off her horse, while the maids were busy preparing for the birthday party.

Looking back now, suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

That girl is not an acrobat, but the real owner of Pingyang Mansion!

Only this reason can explain the scene in front of me.

So, the truth is that after these people saw the girl falling off the horse and getting wet, they all followed behind in panic. Then, after arriving at the attic, they all fell to their knees again.

It didn't disperse directly.

Such gestures and actions represent that everyone is waiting to receive the punishment for inadequate protection.

The master fell down in his own mansion

As a servant, he did not protect his master immediately.

This is sin!

In this world, even if the master accidentally falls off his horse, the servants and maids will kneel down in order to bear the blame for the master's mistakes.

This is the difference between the superiors and the inferiors.

Fang Zhengzheng doesn't like this class concept very much, because in such a society. Even if a servant does a good job, he may be killed because of his master's temporary displeasure.

No reason is needed.

Just like myself, born as a commoner in a mountain village.

Then, no matter how talented you are. They will not be valued by some children of aristocratic families and dignitaries in the court. They will prefer some children of aristocratic families who have equal status with them. This is a kind of arrogance that comes from their bones.

No descendant of aristocratic families would ever consider themselves equal to the common people in mountain villages.

Just like humans and dogs, no matter how smart a dog is, it is still a dog, and people will only think it is a smart dog. Rather than really treating it as an equal as a human being.

In the eyes of the children of aristocratic families, there is not much difference between common people in mountain villages and dogs.

An era is a world.

Fang Zhengzheng understood this truth, and so did the former village chiefs of Nanshan Village, Meng Bai and Li Zhuangshi, which is why they fought tooth and nail to take the Taoist exam.

Because they want to escape this fate.

Pass the Taoist examination, enter the court, and become a person above all others!

Of course, Fang Zhengzheng has different ideas from Li Zhuangshi and others. He understands this truth, but he does not recognize this truth. The dangers of court disputes and the darkness in officialdom.

He doesn't even need to experience it to understand something.

so…

All along, Fang Zhengzheng's idea was to get a "fame" in this world after passing the Taoist examination, marry a wife, and go home to live a leisurely life.

Carefree, leisurely.

These have always been Fang Zhengzheng's ideals. For this ideal, he needs a lot of things, such as money...

However, Fang Zhengzheng now has to face a problem.

My life seems to be in danger!

because…

A moment after the sound was heard in the attic, Fang Zhengzheng saw that the sergeants who were kneeling on the ground had stood up in unison, and then there was a "Clang!" and the crisp and neat sound of drawing swords. .

Cold light flickered.

Fang Zhengzheng's first thought was that it was time to run.

However, this idea was quickly disillusioned not long after it arose, because, in addition to the sergeants who got up in the small courtyard, there were already more sergeants pouring in like ants outside the small courtyard.

The sergeants were dressed the same as the sergeants in the small courtyard, but their weapons were different. They all carried a kind of white-feathered bow and arrow on their backs.

"Uh-huh!"

The neat sound of bowstrings sounded.

Just before the blink of an eye, the iron bows of the three rows of archers were fully drawn, and the walls of the small courtyard and the door of the small courtyard were all densely packed.

too fast…

Just like they had been waiting secretly around the small courtyard for a long time, the change of this scene was absolutely extremely fast, and the training of these sergeants was even more sophisticated.

The air seemed a bit depressing, and a vast murderous aura filled the sky above the small courtyard.

Not far away, there was the sound of rumbling footsteps, and it was obvious that the following sergeants were coming here quickly.

Fang Zhengzheng didn't know that these sergeants had been prepared by Pingyang a long time ago.

However, there was a slight deviation in the plot. Originally, the sergeants were planning to grab Fang Zhengzheng from the attic after he jumped out of the bathtub, and then slap him with a few big boards in front of the guests.

But now...

Their purpose was to surround and kill Fang Zhengzheng.

Fang Zhengzheng didn't know this, but he knew that with his Amaterasu realm strength, there was almost no hope of getting out of such a predicament.

The officials and the children of the aristocratic families sitting at the birthday banquet naturally saw this scene.

However, no one took a step forward, and no one moved from their seats. They were all used to this change of situation, because most of their mansions also had such sergeants.

Although not as well-trained as the Imperial Forest Army of Pingyang Mansion.

But this does not affect their mentality of watching the fun.

Thoughts arose in their minds, and they suddenly thought of the rumors not long ago that Princess Pingyang sent people to give Fang Zhengzheng money every day.

And now...

But he wanted to kill Fang Zhengzheng again.

Did he deliberately use money to lure Fang Zhengzheng into Pingyang Mansion

With the rights of Princess Pingyang, is it necessary to spend so much effort on such a small thing? What kind of merits and demerits are there

No one understands, but if Pingyang can really kill Fang Zhengzheng, this may be something that most of them would like to see.

Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's eyes narrowed slightly, he was looking forward to seeing such a scene.

Han Changfeng also had a smile on his face. If Fang Zhengzhi could be eliminated directly in Pingyang Mansion, then there would be no need to worry about the imperial examination this time.

This will be safer for him.

Will Fang Zhengyi be captured without hesitation

Of course not.

Although, he was not sure whether the sergeants with swords drawn in front of him and those with bow strings would actually rush up and kill him like this.

But it doesn’t feel good to have your destiny in someone else’s hands.

God knows if someone’s hand will tremble...

When the arrows rain down from the sky, no matter how strong I am, I won't be able to stop them for too long.

Especially those arrows with white feathers. The cold air on the arrows could be felt from such a distance. They were definitely not the ordinary arrows he saw in the village.

The way forward is blocked.

There was not much possibility of escaping, so the only thing to do was to turn back.

So, under the shocked eyes of all the officials and children of aristocratic families sitting at the banquet, as well as the sergeants with swords and arrows drawn, Fang Zhengzheng turned around and got into the attic again...

Pingyang had always thought that Fang Zhengyi was shameless, but she never thought that Fang Zhengyi would be shameless enough to turn around and come back again.

Because, she didn't even have time to jump back into the bucket.

Their eyes met again.

Pingyang saw a sense of despair in Fang Zhengzheng's expression, and then, the last conversation she had with Brother Ninth flashed through her mind inexplicably.

"I'm going to kill him!"

"But you can't beat him, he's already Amaterasu!"

Yes, Fang Zhengzheng has already received Amaterasu, but he is still gathering stars.

The most important thing is…

The two maids behind him didn't even enter. (To be continued.)
