The bandit leaders panicked a little when they heard the two doors slamming shut behind them and found themselves sandwiched between the guards.
"What's going on? How can we go back when the door is closed?"
When the captain heard this, he shouted: "Why are we going back? We have to meet the enemy, so of course we can only go back after killing them!"
What? Doesn’t that mean they can’t take advantage of the chaos to kidnap people?
"You still have such fantasies?" Wei Jun said with ill intentions, "We are surrounded now, it will not be easy to escape!"
Everyone looked at it and thought, isn't it? There are guards all around, and there are enemies on the mountain. If you want to kidnap people, save your lives first!
"Let's go, let's find a way to escape!"
"It's really unlucky. If you don't tell me that the matter didn't get done, you'll still be in trouble."
"I knew I wouldn't come here!"
The leader looked bad and shouted: "What are you talking about? If we encounter some problems, we will break up. Can we do more work?"
But this group of people was just a mob. Their hearts were broken and they would not listen to him. They retorted, "Is this a problem? If you don't run away, you will lose your life!"
"Yes, if you want to do it, you can do it. I won't serve you anymore anyway."
"you……"
Halfway through the leader's words, there was another rumble and the ground shook in front of him. The bandit leaders looked up and were shocked.
Elite soldiers! They are indeed elite soldiers! They are all wearing black armor and covering their faces with iron armor. They are even more majestic than the palace guards.
The commander of the guards did not dare to be careless and stepped forward and asked: "Who are you? How dare you make an enemy of the Hexing Palace!"
These people didn't speak, they just stood in line in silence.
But they didn't attack, they just stood upright, like stone sculptures.
The guard commander was a little confused. He raised his sword again and asked, "Tell me! Who are you?"
The other party remained silent.
This situation made people confused. The leader tried to question and curse, but received no response.
The subordinates came over and asked, "Commander, what should I do?"
The opponent will neither retreat nor fight, but take the initiative to provoke. It is obvious that their equipment is better than yours, which puts them in a dilemma.
At this time, there was movement from the second door, and the guards over there hurriedly came to report: "Commander, a thief slipped in and took the prince hostage!"
The commander was shocked, staring at the black-armored warriors here, and organizing people to go back to rescue them. But the second gate was tightly defended, and they had to retreat after receiving a hail of arrows.
After several attempts, the commander shook his head helplessly.
"The other party is more skilled, I'm afraid today..."
There are elite soldiers outside and thieves inside. They have fallen into the trap from the beginning. For the current plan, they can only hold on to the end and wait for reinforcements to remove the rubble from the mountain road. The problem is that the prince has fallen into the hands of the thieves and cannot hold out at all.
At that time.
After this delay for a while, the subordinate shouted: "Commander, look!"
Looking from here, there is a woman standing on the corner of the eaves in the garden holding a sharp knife. Her lake green dress is flying in the wind. Who is it if it is not Mrs. Xiang?
The commander was stunned: "She..."
Before she could react, Mrs. Xiang took out something from her arms and threw it upwards, causing huge fireworks to explode in the air.
The commander's expression suddenly changed: "No, this is a message!"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a noise from halfway up the mountain. When he looked up, he saw a huge boulder being thrown towards him!
"Trebuchet! That's a trebuchet!"
The boulders fell, the ground shook with rumbles, and the guards had to run for cover.
The commander's heart was so cold that he was already in a desperate situation. He actually had a killing move. It was like trapping them in a trap and killing them with thousands of arrows.
So vicious, so ruthless! No room left at all!
At this point, we can only fight to the bitter end, maybe there is still a little chance of survival.
When the trebuchet stopped, the commander straightened up and raised his sword high, feeling tragic and solemn in his heart——
"The whole army obeys the order and kills the enemy!"
As the voice fell, the black-armored stone sculptures suddenly moved. They all turned back, drew their swords, guns, swords and halberds, and shouted to the sky.
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
Amidst the shouts, they rushed out like a tide and confronted the ambush killer.
The commander stared blankly and couldn't help but reach out and touch his mouth.
Hey, he hasn’t spoken yet!
The other guards were also stunned. What happened? Aren't they in the same group? Why did they start fighting?
"Commander, look!" the subordinates beside him shouted, stretching out their fingers.
The commander turned around and saw someone coming this way, escorted by black-armored warriors, with fluttering clothes and a face like a crown of jade.
"Ninth Young Master..."
Young Master Chu Jiu quickly walked up to him and said, "Commander Gan."
The commander's expression was complicated and he didn't know how to respond.
Chu Jiu Gongzi did not say much to him, and only said: "According to my investigation, these people have been lurking in Hexing for a long time, and Mrs. Xiang is their internal agent. Today they are taking the opportunity of the Spring Festival Banquet to attack the father.
It’s not good. But I have already dispatched the thief. Miss Xu San is entrusted by me to stay in the garden to protect my father, so you can rest assured."
The commander moved his lips and stammered: "Then... isn't that a lie?"
Young Master Chu Jiu smiled: "I personally invited you from Nanyuan, how can it be fake?"
The commander is confused, so Miss Xu San is indeed Miss Xu San and not a female thief?
He suddenly remembered: "But the Marquis of Jiading..."
"You'll know later. Let's catch the thieves first." Master Chu Jiu turned around and pointed, and ordered, "Catch them!"
The leader of the thieves who was among the guards suddenly looked at his finger and was shocked.
"Exposed!"
"Let's go!"
The leader of the thief chopped down a guard and was about to escape when someone suddenly grabbed him back.
He staggered, and when he managed to stand still, a knife was already placed on his neck. He raised his head again and faced Wei Jun's bright smiling face: "Where are you going?!"
The leader of the thieves was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "You are a spy!"
Wei Jun kicked him over and looked at the guards rushing up to restrain him. He sighed: "I stand upright and am a military attache appointed by the imperial court. How can you, a traitor, have the right to make irresponsible remarks against me!"
After saying that, he called out the people one by one: "I have taken a good look at these people. They are Mrs. Xiang's accomplices!"
…
There were shouts of killing outside, but the garden became increasingly quiet.
When the fireworks were flying into the air, Xu Yin grabbed the long bow and shot out the arrow quickly.
At first, Mrs. Xiang tried to avoid it, but Xu Yin was not alone.
After a hail of arrows, she fell from the eaves.
The subordinate ran forward, checked his breathing, and came back to report: "Miss Third, you are still alive."
Xu Yin waved his hand: "Catch him and treat his injuries."
"yes."
They carried Mrs. Xiang back to the house, pulled out the arrows, applied medicine, and searched all the places on her body where things could be hidden, even the poison in the gaps between her teeth.
Xiao Sang climbed out from under the chair, reinstalled the seat, dusted it off and said, "Miss, take a seat."
Xu Yin sat down and pointed at the Marquis of Jiading: "Pull it out quickly. If you drag it down, you will be suffocated."
"yes."
The family members of the Marquis of Jiading were guarding around him. Seeing Xiao Sang walking over, Mr. Xia hurriedly stopped her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Go away." Xiao Sang pushed him away and rolled up his sleeves, "If you want your father to come back to life, stay out of the way."
Mr. Xia was stunned for a moment, and looked at his mother at a loss, but did not dare to stop her.
Xiao Sang squatted down, first pulled out the needle, then patted and rubbed it. The breathless Marquis of Jiading suddenly let out an "ah" sound and regained his breath.
The Xia family was overjoyed and kept calling "Father" and "Master Hou".
The Marquis of Jiading looked at the family members around him, confused: "What's wrong? What are you doing around me?" He had no idea that he had "died" once.
Everyone watched the Marquis of Jiading come back to life, and couldn't help but cast their eyes on the female thief, oh, no, Miss Xu San.
