Guo Xiuyi woke up immediately. It was obvious that the person he had just faced was the weakest among the three. If He Qizhou hadn't come to the rescue, half of his life would have been lost. Don't say that you can't help if you rush in now. It might even provoke the assassin to kill him.
It was dry and dry, and soon half of the south wall of the inn was engulfed in flames. The sound of fighting in the backyard was also heard here. Han Chong shouted: "No!" He thrust out his palms, and with a "boom", he hit the wall. A big hole was made in the fire, and the fire soon became blazing again.
Han Chong ignored the fire and jumped into the building from the flames. He happened to see two people being knocked down from the corridor on the second floor to the hall on the first floor almost at the same time. They were Yu Qun and Yu Li and his son;
Shen Yan and Bai Huwei, who were blocked in the building by the flames, rushed to the second floor corridor one after the other;
He Qizhou, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, jumped off the rooftop and broke through the wooden door on the second floor from the west side of the building;
Han Chong was about to jump directly to the corridor on the second floor...
But they heard a sharp shout that made everyone pause: "Stop!"
I saw Han Rui's figure appearing at the door of the upper room in the middle. Her hair was messy and blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth. A thick arm was wrapped around her head and neck from behind, and the other hand held a bamboo leaf knife firmly against Han Rui's head. Blood vessels on the side of the neck.
"Father!" Han Rui called excitedly, but the bamboo leaf knife tightened again, and a drop of blood came out from the white neck. Han Chong, who had stopped, was frightened in his heart, and he waved his hand hurriedly: "Slow down! "
An ordinary face slowly poked out from behind Han Rui's head. He Qizhou took a look and saw that it was the Fourth Master who had escaped from the Xihe Marquis Mansion!
Then Mr. Qin, who still had half an arrow stuck in his back, also walked out, looked around and said, "Can you please everyone on the second floor to go to the hall below?"
Guard Bai and Shen Yan both looked at Han Chong, who nodded. He Qizhou was about to exit from the west gate when Mr. Qin smiled sinisterly and said, "My little brother is good at archery. Didn't you understand what I said?"
As Guard Bai went downstairs, he said to He Qizhou: "Brother Zhou Qi, just do what he said first."
He Qizhou said helplessly to Mr. Qin: "Boss Qin's turtle shell is harder." He jumped down from the second floor, and then looked at the Yu family and his son who were knocked down on the ground.
Yu Qun smiled bitterly and said: "I just suffered some internal injuries, but I won't die. My father and son are not good at studying, which makes everyone laugh."
"Are you Zhou Qi? Zhang Sheng mentioned you in a special letter." Han Chong seemed to have calmed down and asked in a low voice.
Seeing that although the injuries of Yu and his son were not serious, He Qizhou helped them up and walked to Han Chong alone. He replied in a very low voice, and Han Chong gave an extremely subtle slap on his face. He immediately regained his composure and said to Mr. Qin: "Call your boss out, don't waste time."
"Hahaha, okay, since General Han is so happy, I won't be like mother-in-law. Qin Qi, come in and watch Mrs. Han, and by the way, tell the boy from the north to go away!"
Someone was giving orders in the back room. Qin Qi followed the order and entered the room and said to Guo Xiuyi, who was hiding in the corner of the north courtyard: "Boy, if you don't want the two of them to die now, go to the front hall immediately!"
"Even if a road is left to the north, do you think we can still walk today?" Han Chong asked angrily in a low voice.
The sound of footsteps slowly came from the back room, and the person who came out was the same person who was a stranger to Fourth Master outside the east wall.
"Tang Wuye!" Shen Yan downstairs screamed.
"I know that even if the guard camp behind you hasn't arrived yet, we can't escape with you alone. But General Han, are you really so cruel as to abandon their mother and daughter? If you move around, don't Blame me for being cruel, I did this because you blocked my way of making money..."
"Why bother talking nonsense, what do you want?" Han Chong asked.
"Okay, I want you and Xia Tong to have an arm each!" Tang Wuye said with a squinted smile.
The fire gradually stopped outside the courtyard wall, and the inn's waiters and the soldiers who had finished the battle began to put out the fire. Fortunately, the well was in the courtyard, and the fire on the south wall had been brought under control.
Commander Xia had also entered the room, stood behind Han Chong, and reported softly that except for two survivors, everyone else had been eliminated.
Han Chong nodded, and then said disdainfully to Tang Wudao: "You are sure to win if you take one of my arms? What are these two arms? Two lives for Master Liu and Lao Ba?"
"Ugh!" Mrs. Han's cry of pain came from inside. It sounded like she couldn't help but screamed out.
Looking at Han Chong's painful expression, Tang Wuye said: "You can think so, isn't it a good deal? You don't need to worry about whether we can defeat you, as long as you remove your arms now, I can let him go immediately. , remove one and release one, I, Tang Wu, still have some credibility in the world."
Xia Tong raised his knife to cut off his arm, but Han Chong stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Are you too stupid?"
"I know they can't be trusted, but it's worth it if I can let one person go first. I killed the sixth and eighth children, so it's not a loss. If they break their promise, at least you don't have to take off your arms to prove it again." Xia Tong road.
"Hmph, if the Zhou people use my family to force me to commit suicide, force me to open the city, force me to surrender, what should I do?" After Han Chong finished speaking to Xia Tong, he turned to Master Tang Wu and said, "Tang Fusheng , I advise you to give up on this idea. If you surrender now and confess your boss and general, I can consider saving your life!"
Tang Wu laughed loudly and said: "Do you think we are afraid of death? Han Chong, even if you are deceiving yourself with these words, you can't deceive yourself. You don't have to break your arm. I'll trade Lao Qi for your wife! Is your daughter... I've lost at least one million taels in your hands. Let's give it a 20% discount. If you come up with 800,000 taels within ten days, I'll let you go. Look at your daughter, she's so beautiful. It's been taking a long time. , even if I hold it back, I’m afraid my brothers...hehe!"
"Can we redeem them all with money?" Guo Xiuyi shouted before Han Chong could say anything.
"Who are you?" Tang Fusheng did not recognize Guo Xiuyi.
"He is Guo Boliang's young master." Qin Qi from the back room interjected. On the way to Ganzhou and Suzhou, they, Tang Ji, often met at the Hepingxi Escort Bureau, and they naturally recognized Guo Xiuyi who had already started working as an escort with his master.
"Hahaha, it turns out to be Mr. Guo. It's a pity that your escort agency's annual income is probably not worth my casino. Even if you sell them all, you can only redeem half of them. Boy, do you like the upper body? Lower body?" Tang Wu smiled lewdly.
"I'll fight you!" Guo Xiuyi couldn't help but mock and wanted to rush upstairs, but was held down by Han Chong who stepped forward.
"Nephew Guo Xian, don't be reckless." Han Chong said: "Tang Wu, you don't have to think about irritating me. I have already figured it out. What you want is actually my life! If you can really exchange for the lives of Madam and Xiaorui, Let alone an arm, I won't blink even if my head is taken, but not now. Now that I have taken this position, I must think about the people of Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Daqi. They I also have a wife and children, so I can’t be so selfish!”
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid of death!" Tang Wu said bitterly.
"Yes, I can't die now! Xiaorui, do you still remember what is engraved on the wooden horse I gave you? First the country, then the family! Do you blame your father for being too cruel? Be brave! I won't let them Insulting you!" Han Chong looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes.
"Well! I'm not afraid!" Xiao Rui shouted, suddenly hitting the extremely sharp bamboo leaf knife hard. The fourth master who controlled him was startled by this amazing change, and hurriedly removed the bamboo leaf knife, and another With one hand, he pulled Han Rui to his side.
Han Chong was a master of Chengzong. How could he miss such a good opportunity? He took one step forward and then pushed down hard, like an arrow from the string, heading towards Tang Wu and Si Ye who were standing next to Han Rui.
The two of them were obviously frightened by Han Chong's attack, and they did not dare to be distracted and hurt Han Rui for the time being. Tang Wu retreated behind Han Rui, while the fourth master holding the bamboo leaf knife put the knife in front of his chest, preparing to fight forcefully. Han Chong struck;
Seeing Han Chong's sudden violence, Shen Yan immediately started to move, leaped into the air, and touched the middle of the stairs with one foot. He had already floated to the second floor. The white guard beside him was not to be outdone, and followed closely with a straight knife in his hand. ;
Xia Tong was originally behind Han Chong. When he saw the general taking action, he immediately followed him, but he jumped to the west corridor to prevent Tang Wu and others from escaping. He also set off after seeing Han Chong take action, but he was better than Shen Yan was much further away from the corridor on the second floor, but the two of them went upstairs at almost the same time to make a judgment!
He Qizhou downstairs stood still and did not move, but quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
…
Han Chong rose into the air and struck out with his right palm. The Fourth Master was immediately knocked away. When he flew backwards, he did not forget to cut Han Rui's neck with a knife.
Tang Wu, who was hiding behind Han Rui, pushed Han Rui towards Han Chong's left palm!
Han Chong hurriedly withdrew his left palm in mid-air and made a gesture to support Han Rui. He also turned his right palm into a finger and directly hit the fourth master's knife-holding wrist with his finger force.
The bamboo leaf knife fell with a sound when it was close to Han Rui's neck. Han Chong, who was exhausted, fell from the height. Before his feet could stand on the corridor on the second floor, it seemed that the weak and boneless Han Rui was pushed by Tang Wu. It had already slammed into his arms.
No one noticed the glimmer of light in Han Rui's miserable eyes, which was just like the look of a poisonous snake when it attacks! The hands caged in both sleeves each held a bamboo leaf knife, like a poisonous snake sensing Han Chong's warm chest. As long as he gently puts the bamboo leaf knife to his heart and neck, and succeeds anywhere, the plan of the past two months will be completed! There is no need to worry about Han Chong's death blow, because even if As a master of Chengzong, she also needs time to breathe. Even if this time is very small, it is enough for her to escape...
Shen Yan, who had just gone upstairs, was about to attack the man controlling Han Rui from the side. Unexpectedly, the man was so helpless and was knocked away by Han Chong with a volley. He did not notice the flash in Han Rui's eyes as he bumped into Han Chong. He had a scary look in his eyes, but when he approached Han Chong, the bamboo leaf knife in his sleeves suddenly showed its sharp claws like a leopard, and happened to be caught by Shen Yan.
