"The villain has been ordered by the emperor to protect Chu Shangshu at all times. I will never dare to disobey my emperor's imperial edict."
That means that in front of Jun Lingyun's imperial edict, Kitano Hongming's words are nothing.
Although Chu Wenjin looked apologetic, what he said could still make people angry to death.
"Prince Kitano, I'm really sorry. I'm a civil servant. I don't know martial arts, so I won't cause trouble to Prince Kitano."
Kitano Hongming was so angry that he only had ten guards with him, but there were one or two hundred gangsters. Their martial arts were not much worse than his guards, and they were all desperadoes.
With such a gap, even if Kitano Hongming's martial arts is considered to be very strong, it is still insufficient.
What's more, his leg injury had just healed, and with this exertion, he felt tearing pain coming from the crook of his leg.
He didn't expect that these people from Yunxiao Kingdom actually didn't care about his identity at all and allowed him to be besieged by thieves.
But these thieves, instead of grabbing food and attacking Chu Wenjin, caught one of him and tried to kill him.
"Who on earth sent you?"
Naturally, no one answered his question. Seeing others standing by and watching, the attack became even more fierce.
Kitano Hongming watched as the guards around him were besieged to death one by one, and there was nothing he could do.
He deeply felt the threat of death, and a feeling of fear spread throughout his body.
It wasn't until Kitano Hongming was hit by another sword on his arm that he finally stopped caring and shouted for help:
"Save this palace and add twenty more horses!"
Chu Wenjin asked:
"But a fine war horse?"
If Beiye Hongming were allowed to die now, the Northern Barbarian Emperor would be furious and would not allow people from the Yunxiao Kingdom to enter the Northern Barbarian Kingdom openly. It would be better to spare Beiye Hongming's life.
Kitano Hongming turned his anger into strength and wiped the neck of a man in black with his sword, his eyes were red.
He deliberately only talked about horses, hoping to get some old, weak, sick and disabled people to get away with it.
Who would have thought that Chu Wenjin, at this juncture, would actually care about these details and expose the flaws in his words?
"Oh!" One of Kitano Hongming's guards stood in front of him, took a blow for him, and fell on top of Kitano Hongming.
Kitano Hongming's eyes were about to burst. Those who followed him were all his confidants who had followed him for many years! Now they were easily damaged.
"Excellent war horse! Take action quickly!"
Chu Wenjin said again:
"Prince Kitano, how about taking 200,000 taels afterwards and giving them to the bodyguards as hard work?"
The commander-in-chief also said just now that the Shangshan Escort Agency only guards grain crops, and he could never let the commander-in-chief break his promise.
Kitano Hongming's sword-holding hand was shaking with anger. Two hundred thousand taels of escort money, isn't this taking advantage of others' misfortune?
What's more, if he had known this, why would he have lost the twenty best horses? Why not just pay the money to hire the escorts from the Shangshan Escort Agency?
But now it's too late to regret it. If the war horse that promised to go out wants to come back, it will be harder than plucking the hair from the tiger's mouth.
When Kitano Hongming was unwilling to give in, his last guard had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Seeing the thieves rushing towards him in a dark crowd, Kitano Hongming had no room for bargaining:
"make a deal!"
When he yelled these two words, the escorts from Shangshan Escort Agency immediately joined the battle and protected Kitano Hongming.
Kitano Hongming's body staggered a little, because he was out of strength and angry.
I can't figure out why he came to Yunxiao Kingdom this time.
It was better to just spend the money to buy food, it would be so much fun!
Now the money has been spent, and cattle, sheep, red deer have been lost. Those grains will still have to be paid back in the future!
If the current situation didn't allow it, Kitano Hongming would have really wanted to roll his eyes and just faint.
It's just that the current situation is not optimistic. Although the escorts of Shangshan Escort Agency can fight one against two, there are almost four times as many opponents. He cannot let down his guard yet.
Seeing that Shangshan Escort was no longer an outsider and could not hurt Kitano Hongming, the man in black also attacked Chu Wenjin who had not moved, but he did not know that he would die faster this way.
Qingfeng and Qingjuan cooperated tacitly, and Chu Wenjin didn't even mess up a corner of his clothes.
Just when the battle situation was tense, hundreds of people suddenly appeared on the mountain. However, this group was not wearing black clothes, but was dressed more like real gangsters.
The leader of the big man had scars on his face and shouted fiercely:
"Brothers, kill!"
Kitano Hongming's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he clenched the sword in his hand tightly. It seemed that he was destined to have a narrow escape today.
Qingfeng and Qingjuan also looked serious.
Seeing that hundreds of people were already rushing towards him, Kitano Hiroaki raised his sword and was about to join the battle again.
After all, it seems now that these people are obviously here to kill him.
If he had just watched and let everyone in the Shangshan Escort Bureau die in battle, he would be the unlucky one in the end.
But they saw the big man who was the bandit leader rushing towards him, raised his hand and hacked a man in black to death, shouting:
"Protect the brothers of Shangshan Escort Bureau! Kill these men in black!"
Kitano Hongming held his sword and froze on the spot. What is going on?
These bandits are not the accomplices of the men in black, but their reinforcements?
What is the origin of this Shangshan Escort Bureau, that it can even win over bandits?
Qingfeng and Qingjuan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Except for the people in Shangshan Escort Agency, Chu Wenjin is the only one whose heart is as clear as a mirror.
I'm afraid, this is the life and death gate of Mr. Sikong, the world he has managed for many years! No matter where you go, you can find reinforcements.
With the addition of these people, and the fact that Qing Feng, Qing Juan, and the escorts from Shangshan Escort Bureau were all experts, the battle situation was under control in an instant.
A quarter of an hour later, looking at the corpses on the ground, the bandit leader clasped his fists at his superior and said:
"The green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. See you again in the future!"
The superior smiled and nodded:
"Thank you for your generous help, brother."
It wasn't until those people dressed as gangsters disappeared in the mountains and forests that Kitano Hongming said mockingly:
"I really didn't expect that the public security in Yunxiao Kingdom would be so chaotic, with bandits running rampant, and even colluding with the regular escort agencies!"
His bodyguards were all dead, and he was left alone. How could he be happy? Naturally, he had to find trouble, otherwise he would be depressed.
The superior responded:
"The bandit that Prince Kitano calls you just saved your life!"
Kitano Hongming choked. Who knows if they are singing along with the men in black?
But after looking at the corpses on the ground, he swallowed his words again. How can there be such a fake show?
Si Shan is still finishing his wounds:
"Prince Kitano, instead of racking your brains here and slandering your savior, why not think carefully about who sent those men in black?"
"A mere commoner actually talks to me like this! If I kill you, will Emperor Yunxiao still be your bodyguard and embarrass me?"
Si Shan only bowed his head symbolically and did not respond.
After all, the prince Kitano Hongming is pitiful now. Without his accompanying bodyguards, he is left with nothing but incompetence and rage.
