Chapter 26 Killing thieves today
Outside the Prime Minister's Palace, Wang Ji took his wife and concubines and escaped in embarrassment under the escort of three retainers and servants.
They had just escaped outside the door and were still in shock when they saw two knights galloping towards them and others. The knights on the horses were holding gleaming sharp blades in their hands, and they were immediately frightened to death.
"A thief is coming, protect the Prime Minister!"
One of the doormen reacted very quickly and immediately raised his weapon to protect Wang Ji.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, a sound broke through the air, and the doorman's body was pierced by arrows, and he immediately fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.
The person who shot the arrow was Shi Huan, who was hiding in the dark and masked.
The sudden appearance of deadly arrows and the two galloping horses immediately made Wang Ji and others pale in horror.
Wang Ji saw clearly that the person riding the white horse was Zhou Qi, and immediately summoned up the courage to shout loudly: "I am the Prime Minister of Pei, how dare you, Zhou Qi, kill me!"
"Poof!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Ji finished speaking, an arrow hit his hat. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Qi rode his horse to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He did not rush to kill him immediately. Instead, he reined in the reins and shouted sternly: "I came to avenge my grandfather. I don't want to kill innocent people in vain. You family members and servants should disperse quickly, otherwise we will stop."
Blame someone for being ruthless under the knife!"
The remaining two retainers were guarding Wang Ji. The short retainer shouted sharply at the servants: "There are only two of them. We only need to swarm up to capture and kill the thief."
"And this place is the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Lieutenant Liu heard that there was a change in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could immediately lead his troops to kill him. You are all slaves of the Prime Minister's family. If you dare to leave your master and escape privately, you will be arrested and punished afterwards.
!"
"Those who run away will undoubtedly die, and those who kill the thieves will receive great merits. Afterwards, the prime minister will definitely reward you heavily, and he can even get rid of your slavery!"
"A man is born in this world, and he has to sacrifice his body to make immortal achievements. How can he be depressed and sell himself into slavery? It is now to make achievements. If you are not willing to sacrifice your life to kill the thief now, when will you wait!"
It has to be said that this short doorman is indeed extraordinary. He only spoke a few words but clearly understood the advantages and disadvantages, and showed both kindness and power, which made all the servants who were already discouraged feel invigorated.
As private slaves, they are no better than retainers. The most reviled a retainer who escapes is. If a private slave abandons his master and escapes, he will be executed if he is caught.
If they could really take this opportunity to get rid of their slave status, these people might not dare to give it a try.
After all, no matter how powerful the opponent is, there are only two of them after all. Even if you include the archer hiding in the dark, there are only three.
As the saying goes, an elephant will be killed if there are too many ants. They relied on the strength of their numbers, and their morale was boosted.
Another retainer shouted: "The Prime Minister, get up quickly and retreat into the palace to avoid the bows and arrows, so that you can wait for reinforcements!"
The short doorman's eyes lit up, he hurriedly turned around, helped Wang Ji up, and ran towards the courtyard.
He had already figured it out at this time, whether it was the thick smoke billowing from the south gate or the inexplicable fire that started in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was all the work of thieves, and the evil spirit was to lead the Pei Kingdom to kill each other.
"Chirp!"
Just as the doorman finished reminding him, another arrow was shot towards his face.
"Cang!"
Fortunately, this disciple had extraordinary martial arts skills, and he had already guarded against hurting people with hidden arrows, so just when the arrow was about to hit the door, it was cut down by his sword.
The guest held a sharp knife, his beard and hair were spread out, and he cursed angrily: "The thieves only dare to hurt people with secret arrows!"
"Thieves, stop being crazy, I'm here to take your head!"
When Xiang Hong saw that the retainer was protecting Wang Ji, he immediately became furious and rushed forward on horseback.
"Drive!"
Xiang Hong's hometown is in the land of Yanzhao, and he comes from a famous family, but his family has fallen into decline, and he is no stranger to riding. The black war horse moved from moving to still, but its movements were as natural as silk, extremely smooth.
"Kill!"
The war horse came to the retainer in an instant, and Xiang Hong waved the sharp blade in his hand to chop off the opponent's head.
The retainer's eyes were fixed, and he hurriedly avoided the impact of the war horse. He actually still had enough energy to raise his long knife, preparing to block Xiang Hong's sharp blade.
"Cang!"
The two long knives clashed, making a crisp sound.
Xiang Hong was already very strong, and with the help of his horse's power, he slashed the weapon out of the retainer's hand with one strike. Then, without any loss of power, the sword slashed through a graceful arc and directly cut off the retainer's head.
The two fought for only one round, and Xiang Hong won completely.
This warrior, who has no name at all in history and may have died on the way to escape before the troubled times, has been slaughtering dogs and selling meat in the market for two years, and today he finally showed his sharp fangs for the first time.
The retainer's head was beheaded and he was thrown diagonally forward. Xiang Hongzong immediately stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's hair, raised it high in the air and shouted loudly: "I am Xiang Bode of Changshan. I came to kill the dog thief Wang Ji. Do you dare to stop me?"
There is such a person!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
At the same time, two arrows came from two directions.
One of the arrows hit the short doorman at the end, but because the aim was off-kilter, it missed the vital point.
Another arrow killed a servant who tried to escape into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the rabbit was up and the falcon was about to fall, two people were killed and one was injured. Most of the courage that the servants had just been inspired by suddenly dissipated.
The short doorman who was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground saw this, but he endured the pain, gritted his teeth, stood up and shouted sternly: "Don't listen to the thieves' threats, you will quickly take the Prime Minister and hide in the house. Wait until Lieutenant Liu arrives with his troops."
The thief will definitely die!"
The servants suddenly woke up and rushed towards the mansion with Wang Ji in panic.
They were already at the door. If they decided to hide back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Qi and others would have no choice.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Zhou Qi gave up his illusions and charged forward with a sword in his horse.
"Kill!"
Xiang Hong no longer held back, waving the long knife in his hand and charging towards Wang Ji. There was no enemy in his hand, and the blood soon stained the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion red.
"Pfft!"
Although Zhou Qi's martial arts skills are not as good as Xiang Hong's, he has been working hard since he was a child, and he used his power to kill several people in a row to attack the frightened rats. For a moment, the sharp blades flew, and he actually seemed to be in an uninhabited land, killing three people in a row.

"Pfft!"
Seeing that Wang Ji was about to hide back in the house, an arrow suddenly shot through the air with a harsh sound, piercing the opponent's thigh and nailing him to the ground.
"Ah!"
Severe pain was felt, and Wang Ji immediately cried out.
When the servants saw that more than ten of their own people had died in an instant, they were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split apart. When they saw Wang Ji pinned to the ground by arrows, they fled into the house in a hive, and then closed the door in panic. There was no one to care about Wang Ji.
Good luck or death?
Zhou Qi stepped forward on horseback, holding a blood-stained sharp blade, pointing at Wang Ji who was slumped on the ground and wailing, and shouted sternly: "Wang Ji is a thief, when you are in the land of fish and meat, did you ever think that you would also have this day!"
Chapter completed!
