"Bang bang bang bang"

As three sounds like the door being kicked open came from the house on the second floor, Zhao Hongrun and others subconsciously turned their heads to look, and were shocked to find that more than twenty men had also poured down from the second floor of the inn. One of these people He covered his face with a gray scarf and held a sword in his hand. He didn't look like a kind person.

After these people joined the battle, the situation of the Zongwei immediately became precarious.

No wonder, after all, there are only ten Zongwei, and two of them were separated with sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui to protect Zhao Hongrun and several other female family members. Only eight Zongwei including Shen Yu challenged the thieves, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. An extremely disadvantageous situation.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao, who turned pale, quickly stood up, came to Zhao Hongrun, and shouted: "Quick, let me go! I can help kill these thieves!"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Chen Xiao suspiciously. It was undeniable that this son was more powerful than any of the Zongwei around him. He was a brave general who came from the military. It would be a pity to reject this fighting force. .

However, although Zhao Hongrun did not think that Chen Xiaohui was related to these thieves, it was undeniable that Chen Xiao could find the whereabouts of Zhao Hongrun, and these thieves could also find the whereabouts of Zhao Hongrun. To say that the two had no connection at all , Zhao Hongrun himself didn’t even believe it.

However, after Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, he still nodded slightly towards Mi Jiang.

Mi Jiang understood and used his sword to cut off the rope that tied Chen Xiao.

However, she was still on guard against Chen Xiao's sudden counterattack.

However, Chen Xiao did not disappoint Zhao Hongrun. After the rope was cut, Chen Xiao yelled, stepped on the table and jumped towards Shen Yu and others, and knocked one of the thieves away more than ten feet with one punch. Back to back with Shen Yu who was under siege.

Zongwei Shen Yu was a little surprised. He turned around and glanced in the direction of Zhao Hongrun. He saw the latter nodded slightly, picked up a weapon on the ground with his toes, and handed it to Chen Xiao with his backhand. However, he couldn't help but tease Chen Xiao. Said: "Aren't these people your companions?"

Chen Xiao's face turned dark. As he took the weapon, he said angrily: "These people are not my companions! My companions, they are in another inn."

It's a pity that Shen Yu didn't bother to pay attention to such lies that were full of loopholes. He shouted "Be careful" and faced a thief with a knife.

"Tsk!" Chen Xiao let out a rather depressed breath and swung his sword to slash at a thief.

It can be seen that he is not very good at swords, and his sword-swinging movements are unstructured, just hacking and slashing randomly, but with his strong arm strength, which is only slightly inferior to Chu Heng, he still managed to kill a man. A way out.

Is this guy trying to escape alone?

Catching Chen Xiao's actions from the corner of their eyes, the sect guards who were struggling to kill the enemy frowned slightly. But what surprised them was that after Chen Xiao reached the inn door, he actually dropped the weapons in his hands. He found a doorbolt as thick as a thigh from behind the door, waved the doorbolt and came back to kill him.

Oh, it turns out this guy is a gunman.

The sect guards suddenly realized that Chen Xiao just felt that the weapon in his hand was not easy to grasp.

Not to mention, Chen Xiao, who was wielding a thick door bolt, finally showed his brave side. He waved the door bolt in all directions with great force, and actually made it difficult for the thieves who besieged him to get close. arrive.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and the door bolt in Chen Xiao's hand was pushed forward, hitting a thief in the chest. The latter screamed, flew backwards several feet away, and hit the wall hard.

, then he groaned, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fell limply to the ground motionless.

Good arm strength!

The sect guards were a little surprised.

Only then did they realize that they were able to capture Chen Xiao in such a short period of time that day only because the latter did not have any weapons in his hands. If Chen Xiao was given an iron gun as heavy as a door bolt, they would be able to capture Chen Xiao in a short time.

He may not be able to subdue this warrior.

Zhao Hongrun also saw Chen Xiao's bravery.

Maybe there is something wrong with Chen Xiao's mind, but his military power makes it hard to imagine that he was just from the army of Zhongyang County.

By the way, is there an army in Zhongyang County?

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and then he found out incredibly that Zhongyang County, as a local county, only had one guard army at best, which was also commonly known as county soldiers and county guards.

It turns out that our local county guards in the Wei Dynasty also have brave generals with such force?

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because in his impression, the local county guards were usually responsible for some tasks of detecting theft, public security, and suppressing bandits, and there would not be brave soldiers like Chen Xiao.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun forgot. He forgot that the original Yanling Army, which is now the Zhaoling Army, was actually a guard army that first came from Yanling, Linying, Xihua and other places. Facing the offensive of the Chu Army,

The temporarily formed army only now has a formal army designation and has transformed into a regular army.

It can be seen from this that although the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops in the local counties of Wei is far inferior to that of the elite divisions such as the Sixth Battalion of the garrison, they are not a ragtag group.

As Chen Xiao, a brave general, joined the battle, the situation of the Zongwei improved a lot, because they devoted some energy to paying attention to the situation on Zhao Hongrun's side during the fight. Therefore, they did not want to kill this group.

The plan is to catch all the thieves in one fell swoop.

But to their surprise, as the fighting gradually turned towards Zhao Hongrun and the others, none of the thieves escaped. They still tried to attack Zhao Hongrun again and again, but unfortunately they were stopped by the Zongwei and Chen Xiao.

Sisters Jiang and Mi Rui did not even join the battle again until later.

Are you really here for me?

Several times he noticed that this group of thieves were trying to get closer to him, and Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply.

Speaking of which, this was his first time encountering an assassination.

Rather than being scared, it felt a little fresh.

That's right. Come to think of it, Zhao Hongrun has been in charge of thousands of troops and has seen more than 100,000 people fighting on the battlefield. How could he look horrified because of the assassination of dozens of thieves?

He just felt strange and wondered who sent these thieves.

Zhao Hongrun didn't believe that this group of thieves were trying to steal money, or that they had any intention to take advantage of the beauty of Miss Su, Oona, and other girls. In his opinion, this group of thieves clearly had a premeditated plan and laid a trap in advance.

The arrival of Zhao Hongrun.

The question is, who ordered this group of people? Or to put it another way, who hates Zhao Hongrun so much that he sends people to kill him?

Could it be Zhao Laiyu from Anling?

Zhao Hongrun immediately thought of the royal family of the Zhao family with the surname Ji that lived in Anling, that is, the family of his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.

However, after careful consideration, Zhao Hongrun eliminated this third uncle as a suspect.

You must know that Zhao Laiyu is also a member of the Zhao royal family with the surname Ji, and even Zong Zheng, who was once the predecessor of the clan, how could he send someone to assassinate Zhao Hongrun, a junior member of the clan?

If it is really Zhao Laiyu who did it, then once this matter is exposed, Zhao Laiyu will be ruined and his reputation will be ruined. He will even be removed from the family tree of the Zhao family with the surname Ji, and he will not be able to be buried in his ancestral grave in the future.

Zhao Laiyu was already in his sixties, the age when he was half buried, and Wei people had always had the custom of returning fallen leaves to their roots. Would he risk not being able to be buried in his ancestral grave and send someone to assassinate Zhao Hongrun?

In the same way, it is impossible for great-uncle Zhao Tairu to do such a thing.

So the question becomes, who are the guys who caused these thieves?

Zhao Hongrun took a closer look at this chaotic situation, and suddenly pointed at the shopkeeper and shouted: "Get this shopkeeper first!"

When the Zongwei and Chen Xiao heard this, they immediately went to kill the shop owner.

However, the shopkeeper seemed to be the leader of these thieves. Seeing the sect guards and Chen Xiao surrounding the former, they hurriedly came to rescue him.

This made the sect guards and Chen Xiao even more determined to capture the shop owner.

The melee continued for about a quarter of an hour, and the thirty or so thieves were successively killed by Chen Xiao and the sect guards, leaving only the shop owner and two other thieves.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said calmly to the shopkeeper: "Hey, now that things have come to a point, it's time to arrest him without any hesitation, right?"

But what shocked Zhao Hongrun was that the shopkeeper, who had multiple wounds all over his body, actually grinned and said as if he was appreciative: "As expected of a Zongwei from the Zongfu, he is really awesome."

Are you even aware of Zong Wei’s existence?

Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and asked calmly: "Zongwei? What Zongwei?"

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this and said, "Why does King Su have to pretend?"

Sure enough, he came for me!

Zhao Hongrun felt relieved, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Who are you under the command of? What grudges do you have against me?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper laughed, glanced at the two thieves guarding him, and actually stabbed one of them to death from behind with his sword.

"You" Zhao Hongrun and his party looked at him in astonishment and even horror. Seeing this, another thief also changed his expression. He looked back at the shop owner and said, "What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper snorted coldly and said: "Do you think I can leave after waiting? It's time to fulfill the pre-arranged matters!"

The thief's face froze when he heard this, he gritted his teeth, and actually killed himself with a knife under the stunned gaze of Zhao Hongrun and others.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper's face became slightly pale. He took out a pill-like thing from his arms, looked at it for a moment, then put it in his mouth, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said, "It's such a pity. If only the famous Su could be killed.

king"

As soon as he said this, his face suddenly became distorted, and then a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

All the Zongwei looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Zongwei Chief Shen Yu boldly walked over, carefully helped the shopkeeper upright, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse of the man's neck, and then turned back to Zhao Hongrun and said: "He's dead.

Young Master."

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, stood up, walked over to the shopkeeper's body, and looked at it carefully.

Only then did he realize that the shopkeeper's face was blue, his lips were purple, and even the blood he was bleeding turned black, showing signs of death from poisoning.

no one alive

He glanced around the silent inn, looking at the corpses everywhere, with a slight cold sweat on his forehead. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidiann.com to vote, your support is my greatest
