Chapter 63: Fang Baihua, The Female Tiger, And Jiao Xiu, The Beauty

Swift Wind Protector Shen Tao, after hearing the words of Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun, cupped his hands and said:

“Answering Older Brother!

The two people who clashed with Tong Saihua were one burly man and a beautiful woman!

As for their origins, this younger brother is not clear!

However, the beauty looked like a hunter in appearance!

The cause was that she was strolling in the city with a fox pelt when Tong Jiaoxiu took a liking to it!

A conflict arose when they couldn’t agree on a word!

The burly man was simply acting out of a sense of justice. Seeing Tong Jiaoxiu and Tong Saihua with numerous soldiers, he thought they were bullying others, therefore…”

After listening to Shen Tao’s words, Wang Lun could not help but frown and ponder!

However, after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out who the burly man and the woman were!

At this moment, General Xu Tao with Golden Mace suddenly asked:

“Did the man and woman reveal their names?

If so, Brother Shen Tao, perhaps you can tell us!

Older Brother Wang Lun is experienced in the martial world, and might know their origins!”

Shen Tao heard this, pondered for a moment, and then said:

“I vaguely remember, the man seemed to call himself some Southern Li Vermillion Bird Shi Bao!

As for the woman, she seemed to call herself Fang Baihua…”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Lun exclaimed in surprise:

“Did you hear clearly, brother? Is it truly Shi Bao and Fang Baihua?”

“It should be about right!” Shen Tao nodded and smiled.

After hearing this, Wang Lun immediately laughed heartily:

“Haha! After all this, it seems I must go to Jiankang Prefecture myself!”

Seeing this, Cui Huiniang, the Sai Youji, asked with a soft voice:

“Why is Husband so happy? Could it be that Shi Bao and Fang Baihua truly have such great backgrounds that they have stirred your desire for talent again!”

Wang Lun nodded and smiled: “Shi Bao is originally from Fuzhou. He is skilled in using a Meteor Fire Chain Hammer, hitting the target a hundred times out of a hundred!

He can also wield a Vermillion Bird Precious Saber, named the Southern Li Vermillion Bird Cleaving Wind Saber. It can cut copper and iron, and even three layers of armor, passing through as if cleaving wind, immediately cutting them into two pieces!

Therefore, everyone calls him Southern Li Vermillion Bird!

Do not look at his bravery, he is also of a strong character, possessing both martial prowess and strategic brilliance!

In my opinion, Shi Bao is truly a heroic and outstanding man!

Such talent, if he were to join my Liangshan, he would undoubtedly be fit to be a Marshal!”

“Husband praises this person so highly, it seems Shi Bao is indeed a formidable hero!” said Female Flying Guard Chen Liqing with a smile:

“What about Fang Baihua? What is her background?”

Wang Lun smiled: “If that woman is indeed the Fang Baihua of rumor, then she has a very significant background!

This woman learned martial arts from an extraordinary person in the mountains in her early years. After growing up, she not only mastered all eighteen kinds of martial arts, but also became skilled in formations and strategies!

It is rumored that she often likes to hunt in the deep mountains and wild ravines, capable of drawing a three-hundred-jin bow, and shooting through a willow leaf a hundred paces away!

She is especially skilled with a Sky Piercing Halberd. When she wields it, her ferocity is unstoppable, and even a hundred ordinary strong men cannot get close to her!

Although her name is rarely heard in the martial world, I know she calls herself a Female Fierce Tiger, and I also know she is the Saintess of the Mani Cult of Jiangnan!”

“Saintess of the Mani Cult?”

Upon hearing Wang Lun’s words, everyone could not help but show hesitation!

Suddenly, General Shen Ran with Golden Saber exclaimed: “The leader of the Mani Cult seems to be called the Iron-Armed Vajra Fang La!

Then, isn’t the Saintess Fang La’s sister or daughter?

If that’s the case, this woman truly has a significant background!

Although Tong Saihua is the sister of the Minister of Military Affairs Tong, Fang Baihua’s background is also significant!

It is truly hard to say who is superior between the two!

However, the Prefect will probably be in a lot of trouble this time!

No matter which side he assists, he will surely offend the other side!

If something goes wrong, I fear it will bring great trouble to Jiankang Prefecture!”

“Precisely because of this, I said I should go to Jiankang Prefecture myself!” Wang Lun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Ran could not help but hesitate:

“Older Brother, you are not planning to go on a killing spree, are you?

Although Older Brother has a close relationship with the Minister of Military Affairs, the strength of Jiangnan Fang La is also considerable!

If that woman is indeed the Saintess Fang Baihua, she must have other subordinates around her!

If you provoke her, I fear it will cause a lot of trouble!”

As soon as this was said, before Wang Lun could say anything, Chen Liqing smiled and said:

“General Shen Ran, haven’t you seen it yet?

Husband has developed a fondness for that Southern Li Vermillion Bird and Fang Baihua!

If my guess is correct, his trip to Jiankang Prefecture will not only not help Tong Saihua, but will instead assist Shi Bao and Fang Baihua against Tong Saihua and the government troops!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Huiniang continued to smile:

“That may not be the case!

Since Tong Saihua is also a Supreme Expert, how can Husband not be tempted?

I fear he has decided to take all of them to Liangshan!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lun could not help but laugh heartily:

“Haha! Only Huiniang knows me!

If I had not encountered them, it would be one thing. Since I have, how can I miss this opportunity?

As the saying goes, if heaven gives you something and you don’t take it, you will suffer misfortune!

Whether it is Tong Saihua, or Shi Bao and Fang Baihua, I want them all!”

“And Tong Jiaoxiu!” Chen Liqing continued to laugh:

“As far as this concubine knows, this woman is a pampered beauty, graceful and charming, the most alluring!

Husband might as well take her as well!

This way, you will truly establish a connection with the Minister Tong Guan!”

Hearing the young lady’s teasing, Wang Lun smiled and said nothing!

Shen Ran, Xu Tao, and the others were stunned!

Sitting Tiger Zhu Ke even mumbled: “If I understand Sister-in-law Liqing’s words correctly, did I guess wrong before?

The backing behind Older Brother Wang Lun is not the Minister!”

At this moment, Xu Tao suddenly cupped his hands and said:

“Brother, you might not know this!

The reason the Two-Headed Taishui Wang Qing defected to Dongjing Bianliang City that day was because of Tong Jiaoxiu!”

Wang Lun heard this and became interested:

“Oh? I really didn’t know about this! General Xu Tao, why don’t you tell me about it, how so?”

Xu Tao smiled: “It’s not really a big deal!

That Wang Qing was dissolute from a young age. By the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was strong and powerful, but instead of studying, he only enjoyed gambling, chasing women, and fighting with spears and clubs.

Later, relying solely on his skills, he served as a Deputy Soldier in this prefecture.

As soon as he had money in hand, he would call everyone brother and spend all day drinking and eating lavishly!

If things didn’t go his way, he would pull out his fist and fight, so people both feared and liked him.

Wang Qing also earned the nickname Two-Headed Taishui!

Once, by chance, he saw Tong Jiaoxiu’s graceful and alluring appearance, and from then on, he couldn’t eat or sleep!

Jiaoxiu, at first glance, saw Wang Qing’s dashing demeanor and also took a liking to him!

After a few encounters, the two became involved!

As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished!

One day, Wang Qing, drunk as a skunk, boasted about this matter in front of Zhang Bin, a regular soldier in this prefecture!

Zhang Bin was a jealous person, so he spread the news, which eventually reached the ears of the Minister Tong Guan.

The Minister Tong was naturally furious. He immediately ordered people to arrest Wang Qing, beat him until his skin was torn and flesh ripped, and forced him to confess to fabricating seditious writings, inciting ignorant people, and plotting rebellion!

Finally, he was directly exiled to the Shanzhou prison camp under the jurisdiction of the Western Capital!

From then on, Wang Qing and Tong Jiaoxiu lost contact!

Now that she has suddenly appeared in Jiankang Prefecture, it might not be unrelated to that scoundrel Wang Qing!

From her, we might even be able to get news of my Second Brother Xu Jin…”
