Jing Kui said with a gloomy face: "What could happen? I think Xu Wei just wants to see our jokes."
Hearing what Jing Kui said, Ma Qi couldn't help but froze for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly and he looked at Jing Kui and said, "What do you mean, sir, is Xu Tong judging that he came late on purpose?"
With a cold snort, Jing Kui said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Otherwise, tell me why it took so long for the signal for help to be sent out. Not to mention that Xu Wei and his people were on the shore, even if he stayed there
At the dock, we should be here soon."
Ma Qi looked at the group of men who were being killed by Jin Yiwei not far away, and couldn't help but cursed in distress: "Damn the Xu family, I know that none of the people from these wealthy families are good people.
, the Chen family is not human, and their Xu family is not much better."
Beings like Ma Qi, who was born into a poor family, naturally have a kind of inner alienation and dissatisfaction with local wealthy families like the Xu family and the Chen family.
Now that he learned that the Xu family had arrived late on purpose and wanted to use Jin Yiwei's power to weaken them, Ma Qi was naturally furious and cursed.
But soon Ma Qi calmed down. As one of Jing Kui's men and confidants, Ma Qi couldn't help but whisper to Jing Kui: "Sir, I'm afraid they are no match for Jin Yiwei alone. If this continues,
Brothers, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it any longer. How about..."
It seemed that he knew what Ma Qi wanted to say. It was obvious that Ma Qi was retreating and did not want to continue fighting.
To be honest, if he had a choice, Jing Kui naturally wouldn't want to fight for the people in Yangzhou Prefecture, but who told him that he also had no choice.
What's more, even if you want to withdraw now, it's too late. Jing Kui knows very well that if there is such a big commotion today, there are only two consequences.
Either they buried Li Huan and others in the Grand Canal, or they were killed by the Jinyiwei people, and only one of the two sides could survive.
Even if they retreat now, they will probably be wanted by the imperial court and hunted by the imperial guards all over the world. By then, they will really have no way to go to heaven or earth.
Jing Kui took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Tell the brothers, if you hold on for a while, it is impossible for the Xu family not to take action. As soon as the Xu family takes action, we will leave and throw away this mess."
It’s for people from the Xu family.”
Ma Qi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that Jing Kui would have such an idea, but soon Ma Qi's eyes lit up and she said with a bit of excitement: "What you said is true, this is how it should be.
Just leave the Jin Yiwei people to the Xu family, and we won't accompany them."
Just here, Jing Kui, Ma Qi and others were angry because the Xu family had not arrived, and even suspected that the Xu family intended to use the Jin Yiwei to weaken their strength. At the same time, the Xu family encountered something unexpected.
Small trouble.
If it had been any other time, to be honest, Xu Wei might really have sat back and watched Jing Kui and others' strength being reduced, but when it came to the lives and deaths of so many of them, Xu Wei knew his priorities clearly.
Otherwise, Xu Wei would not have hesitated to ask Xu Meng to bring people to help after seeing the signal for help.
Under normal circumstances, the people from the Xu family must have arrived early, but just as the people from the Xu family were rushing towards the flaming Grand Canal, a rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
In the darkness, Xu Meng and other hundreds of people from the Xu family, who were rushing toward the direction of the fire at extremely fast speeds along the road beside the Grand Canal, suddenly felt the shaking of the earth.
This shaking movement is not small at all, especially in this quiet night, it can be heard from a distance.
The leader, Xu Meng, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and then showed a bit of surprise, and whispered softly: "It's strange, how could someone run wildly in the middle of the night, and listen to this movement,
It seems that there are quite a few people coming..."
Just when Xu Meng was doubtful, Xu Wei, who looked gloomy, came quickly and said to the crowd with a dignified expression: "Everyone should be on guard and be ready to take action at any time."
After listening to Xu Wei's instructions, Xu Meng couldn't help but turned to Xu Wei doubtfully: "Brother Wei, what's going on, okay..."
Xu Wei's eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, and he said with a bit of solemnity on his face: "I hope I was wrong, otherwise I am afraid that my Xu family will be in disaster today."
Xu Meng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this and said: "How is this possible? In Yangzhou Mansion, the Chen family has been destroyed. Who else dares to cause trouble for our Xu family? Even the power of the government may not be able to match our Xu family."
.”
In the darkness, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and a group of armored cavalry could be vaguely seen roaring towards them.
If anyone recognizes the two leaders who rushed forward, they will definitely recognize that these two people are Wei Yuanbo and Dingyuan Bo who were awarded the title of "Uncle Dingyuan" by the imperial court not long ago.
Xu Ying, who was dressed in armor, held a long spear in her hand, her eyes flickered with excitement, and said to Chen Ang beside him: "The Marquis really used himself as bait to lure this evil man from Yangzhou Prefecture.
Come out."
Compared to the excited Xu Ying, Chen Ang seemed much calmer. He just glanced at Xu Ying lightly, looked deeply at the fire above the canal in the distance and said: "We are sneaking along this way in order not to be discovered.
It took a lot of effort, but it was not in vain, and we finally led these people out."
Xu Ying chuckled and said: "To say that we were able to block the Xu family here this time, it is really thanks to Lin Pingzhi and Lin Qianhu. If he hadn't summoned him not long ago, we probably wouldn't have gotten the news in advance.
The Xu family is waiting here."
While they were talking, a group of hundreds of elite cavalry approached the Xu family's team at extremely fast speeds.
The people of the Xu family were holding torches at this time, which made them very conspicuous in the darkness.
As Chen Ang, Xu Ying and others approached, Xu Wei, Xu Meng and the others also vaguely saw the oncoming group of sharp cavalry by the light of the fire.
"No, this is the imperial cavalry, I'm afraid it's the back-up man of Li Huan's thieves!"
As he spoke, Xu Wei looked at the people behind him with a gloomy expression. Who had leaked the news? Why did Li Huan's men stop them here by such a coincidence.
You must know that the news that they decided to secretly cooperate with Jing Kui and his party is extremely secret. It can be said that except for a very few people, only a few people in Jing Kui know about it.
It was obviously impossible for Jing Kui to leak the news, so how did the people on the opposite side know the news in advance and block them here.
Among the dark crowd, two figures dressed in black were mixing in the crowd of the Xu family.
Because they were surrounded by men and horses dressed in black, these two people blended in with the crowd and did not attract anyone's attention at all.
The two of them were at the end, and one of them had a pair of exposed eyes and said in a low voice to the person next to him with a bit of excitement: "Brother Lin, the troops from the imperial court have arrived. What do you think of the Xu family this time?"
Is he dead?"
These two people were none other than Lin Pingzhi and Qiu Daniu, who had rescued him. They actually got into the Xu family's ranks.
No one could have imagined that Qiu Daniu, who had a sworn feud with the Xu family, would be selected into the Xu family's servant team.
After all, because of the previous round of siege on the Jin Yiwei, the Xu family's dead soldiers could be said to have suffered heavy casualties. For this reason, the Xu family had to use their own men to join the ranks of the dead soldiers.
Even this time, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xu Wei even brought some of the Xu family's servants over, in order to ensure the numerical advantage.
It is precisely because of this that Qiu Daniu, who had already blended into the Xu family's servants, naturally blended into the team.
Although the Xu family consciously kept the secret, the confidentiality of the Xu family also depended on who they were targeting. Lin Pingzhi, who had already recovered to some extent, easily got in touch with Qiu Daniu, and
I learned part of the arrangements of the Xu family from Qiu Daniu.
Although Qiu Daniu didn't know what the Xu family wanted to do when they gathered their troops, Lin Pingzhi was not stupid. Combined with the news that the imperial envoy Li Huan was leading his people south, he immediately realized that the Xu family wanted to repeat the same trick.
, just like the Yangzhou Jinyiwei Yamen, he wanted to take action against Li Huan and his party.
So not long ago, Lin Pingzhi quietly contacted Li Huan and others.
It can also be said that this scene is completely a trap deliberately set by Li Huan in order to bring down the Yangzhou Prefecture.
Some people with ulterior motives were attracted.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least the two forces Jing Kui and the Xu family have jumped out.
While Lin Pingzhi and Qiu Daniu were talking in low voices, Xu Ying and Chen Ang were already charging towards them with their troops.
Accompanying Xu Ying and Chen Ang are the most capable and brave warriors in the army, not to mention one in a hundred, but also one in ten, no matter where they are.
Each of them has killed people on the battlefield and seen blood. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary cavalry.
When he came closer, Chen Ang shook the spear in his hand and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me and kill them. No one will be spared."
After hearing Chen Ang's words, the last trace of hope in Xu Wei's heart suddenly disappeared, and he didn't realize that they might have been plotted by Li Huan.
"You damn dog officer, if you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have such good teeth."
While talking, Xu Wei drew his sword and said angrily: "Everyone, listen to me and kill with me. If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If you kill two people, you will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. If you kill three people, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver..."
"
Xu Wei knew very well how to inspire the morale and courage of his men. They all said that people die for wealth and birds die for food. This has been true since ancient times.
Sure enough, the troops, who were originally a little confused because of the roaring cavalry, suddenly became extremely noisy after hearing Xu Wei's shouting.
The fear in each pair of eyes disappeared, replaced by infinite greed.
The hands of these men and horses were originally stained with blood. It can be said that most of them were outlaws. They had eliminated countless opponents for the Xu family on weekdays, and they had long been accustomed to killing people.
Xu Wei's reward this time is really exciting. One person is one hundred taels, two people are five hundred taels, and three people are one thousand taels.
You must know that one hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of four to live for ten years, and it is still quite wealthy.
Although most of these people have no family at all, for these desperadoes who are wandering on the edge of life and death as adults, drinking, sex and wealth are their greatest pursuits.
With the silver reward, they can go find the most beautiful girl, go to the casino to gamble happily, and go to the wine shop to get drunk.
The gold and silver moved people's hearts, and because of Xu Wei's reward, almost 80% to 90% of the people faced the oncoming cavalry team with red eyes and killed them.
Of course, most people were blinded by money and lost their minds. There were also a small number of people who remained somewhat calm, staring at the oncoming armored cavalry team with ugly expressions, with a bit of fear in their eyes.
.
Most of these people were Xu family servants who were temporarily captured. If these people were to kill people with a large group of people, they might be able to kill people with swords under the influence of the atmosphere.
But what they have to face now is the murderous sharp cavalry. For some people, it is strange that they are not afraid.
"Woooooo, I don't want to die, it's none of my business..."
While most people rushed forward with red eyes, a few frightened servants turned around and ran away.
However, at this moment, as the sword light flashed, several heads flew up immediately. It was Xu Wei who decapitated the fleeing servants without hesitation.
Xu Wei snorted coldly and said, "Whoever dares to escape again, these people are role models, kill them.
"Xu Meng is here, who dares to fight with me?"
Xu Meng, who was extremely brave, smashed away the two cavalrymen who were rushing towards him, and shouted directly at Xu Ying and Chen Ang, who were very eye-catching.
Chen Ang patted his horse and came straight towards Xu Meng. His eyes fell on Xu Meng and he sneered: "The person who killed you is Dingyuan Bo Chen Ang!"
After the words fell, Chen Ang stabbed Xu Meng with the spear in his hand like lightning.
What a Xu Meng, who is worthy of being the leader of the Xu family's military force. He actually blocked Chen Ang's offensive and got into a fight with Chen Ang.
Hundreds of cavalry rushed into the crowd like tigers. You can imagine what a group of desperadoes without much organization would look like when facing a uniform cavalry team.
Blood spurted out, broken arms and limbs flew everywhere, and there were screams and wails everywhere.
It can be said that after just one fight, these desperadoes, who were blinded by money and had no blood at all, were killed dumbfounded.
It's not like these people have never killed people before. There have even been fights involving hundreds of people more than once or twice. But those were all head-on fights, but they had never encountered a cavalry team.
Facing the impact of the cavalry's orderly formation, the resistance of these people collapsed in an instant.
Xu Wei, who had just killed several servants who were trying to escape, saw this bloody and brutal scene before he could take a breath. His eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he murmured: "
This...how is this possible?"
Just when Xu Wei was distracted by the scene of being slaughtered by the cavalry, and he looked completely lost, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Wei's ears.
"Humph, Xu Tongpan, we meet again!"
Xu Wei, who was in a state of despair, changed his expression slightly when he heard the voice. He followed the voice and opened his eyes wide when he saw it. He exclaimed: "It's you!"
