As soon as Chao Ping finished speaking, he saw several people jumping onto the courtyard wall, stepping on the tiles, and instantly landed in front of Wang Qi'an and others.
The first one was tall and tall, wearing armor and a helmet, and looked very powerful.
His eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.
Shi Hao whispered:
"This man in armor is Peng Daoquan, the governor of Xinzhou. I almost forgot that Peng Tianba is this man's adopted son."
There is a person on the right of Peng Daoquan, with a yellow scarf on his head and a red mole on his forehead. He is about 20 years old and has a fair face.
The body is thin and the hands are long, with four golden rings on each of his left and right arms.
There are two people on the left, one is a young man with two guns on his back, and his face looks a bit like Kong Feng, the general of Qian Jiao's mansion.
The other person was a horse-faced woman, as strong as a man, holding a larger kitchen knife.
She had a fierce look in her eyes, smacking her tongue and licking her lips, as if she had seen prey and was eager to pounce on it.
With the sound of "Yah", the door of the palace was opened, and a large number of soldiers swarmed in, surrounding the square, with guns drawn and swords pointed at Wang Qi'an and the four of them.
Peng Daoquan glanced at the corpse on the ground and said coldly:
"The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are shining brightly. You thieves, how dare you ignore the king's laws and harm our good people, Wu."
Shi Hao hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Master Governor, we did not kill these people. They were already like this when we came here."
Peng Daoquan squinted with cold eyes and said:
"I have seen with my own eyes that you thieves still want to make excuses. Come on, let me execute them on the spot."
All the officers and soldiers responded with a roar, and the horse-faced woman couldn't wait. She laughed loudly and ran out first, slashing at Chao Ping who was closest to her with the kitchen knife in her hand.
There were loud killing cries all around, and the soldiers were already rushing towards Wang Qi'an and others.
Chao Ping was startled by the horse-faced woman, not because of the sudden attack, but because of the woman's expression and appearance, which really made his hair stand on end.
He quickly moved aside, dodged a few times, and appeared like a ghost, already breaking out of the encirclement.
The horse-faced woman seemed to have identified her target and was pursuing him relentlessly.
Chao Ping suddenly jumped up, flew down the courtyard wall, and shouted down:
"Brother Shi, just hold on for a while, I'll be right back!"
After finishing speaking, he disappeared.
Shi Hao had no chance to think carefully about his words. He and Wang Qi'an formed a triangle formation to resist the enemy's successive attacks.
The horse-faced woman chased Chao Ping, and she was furious. She lifted up the soldiers who were blocking the way and threw them back. She squeezed a gap and slashed at Shi Guang with her knife.
Wang Qi'an saw a steady stream of soldiers pouring in from the outside, already heavily guarding the perimeter of the square, and there were even more archers on the outside.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to escape from here tonight.
He picked off more than a dozen people one after another, and the low whistle of the wind sounded in his ears.
Eight golden rings, in a group of four, connected front to back, flew over quickly and attacked both of his ears.
The young man with the pair of spears was also flying above Shi Hao at this moment, imagining countless spear shadows and covering him.
All three opponents' masters were dispatched, but Peng Daoquan remained unmoved, just watching with a cold eye, as if he had no intention of joining the battle.
Wang Qian'an thought that this guy wanted to let his men use the human sea tactic to consume his own physical strength, and then he would wait for the work.
To capture the thief, capture the king first, but I cannot do what he wants.
With a low shout, he first hit the golden ring on the right and knocked it back, then skillfully lifted the four rings on the left and hit Peng Daoquan directly.
He leaped up, and with full force, he chased the silver spear behind Jin Huan, and shot towards Peng Daoquan like a fire dragon.
Although Peng Daoquan's eyes were surprised, he did not appear panicked.
The figure flashed, and four golden rings passed by.
Then he took a step forward and swung to Wang Qi'an's side. The sword on his waist was quickly unsheathed and without any tricks, he slashed his left arm with one blow.
Peng Daoquan's martial arts skills far exceeded Wang Qi'an's imagination.
Seeing that the shot missed, Wang Qi'an suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, avoiding Peng Daoquan's side slash. The double dragon spear swapped head and tail, slid out from the waist, and quickly stabbed Peng Dao's throat.
With a "ding" sound, Peng Dao turned around with his sword and deflected a dangerous shot.
Peng Daoquan took two steps back and shouted loudly:
"Wait! Who are you? If you are not from Qinglong Village, I can let you go today."
Seeing that there was a turn of events, Wang Qi'an couldn't help but explain:
"I'm just passing through here and have no grudges with the Hongwu Gang.
Tonight, I came here with the Shi family brothers just to verify something. Unfortunately, I came a step too late. These gang members have already been harmed. "
Peng Daoquan's eyes were burning, he looked him up and down, nodded and said:
"I see that you are a talented person, and you don't look like a person who talks nonsense."
When Wang Qi'an saw that he had some intention, he put away his gun and stood upright.
Peng Daoquan stepped forward slowly and said:
"Why don't you let them put down their weapons first and capture them without mercy..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden flash of silver light and a knife stabbed out.
Wang Qi'an was shocked and hurriedly retreated.
Peng Daoquan crept up, his sword skills wide open and closed, and the silver light covered the sky and the earth.
Wang Qi'an secretly cursed "despicable" and kept retreating. His spear was imaginary, stabbing and provoking, and he was able to withstand a fierce offensive.
"Bang, bang, bang", suddenly the sound of explosions echoed among the crowd in the square.
Wherever they passed, officers and soldiers were covered in flesh and blood, howling and falling down.
In an instant, the formation was completely gone, and everyone was in chaos, trying to avoid each other.
Wang Qi'an forced Peng Daoquan back and saw a figure jumping around on the roof.
This person was Chao Ping, who had gone and returned. It turned out that he had come to get gunpowder and concealed weapons nearby.
He kept shooting firearms from his hands and shouted:
"Brother Shi, leave quickly."
Wang Qi'an saw that although the soldiers were running around in all directions, Brother Shi Hao was still entangled by the three masters of the opponent, making it difficult to escape.
Wang Qi'an's Double Dragon Spear suddenly burst into red light and made a "chichi" sound.
His clothes moved automatically without any wind, and a hot energy swirled out from in front of him like a hurricane, directly hitting Peng Daoquan.
Peng Daoquan had great eyesight, and when he saw it, he quickly retreated.
Wang Qi'an was secretly happy and did not pursue them. He rushed to the side of the Shi brothers and used the Double Dragon Spear as fast as lightning. He forced the three masters of the opponent back with several moves in a row.
After saying hello, he and the Shi brothers climbed up to the roof and rushed to Chao Ping's side.
Chao Ping fired all the remaining firearms and exploded into pieces. The enemy was afraid that they would be able to avoid them, so they dared to pursue them.
The four of them climbed over the courtyard wall, rising and falling a few times, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Half an hour later, Wang Qi'an and four others were washing away the blood in Huangzhu Creek, five miles outside the city.
Wang Qian said:
"This Peng Daoquan should not be underestimated. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but the men under his command are also very tough.
If Chao Ping hadn't come to the rescue in time with a firearm, I might not have been able to escape so easily tonight. "
Shi Hao was helping Shi Guang apply medicine to his wound when he heard the words:
"This Peng Daoquan was originally a green forest bandit who occupied the mountains and became king.
In his early years, he was defeated and surrendered by the imperial master Xu Zhisheng. Seeing his bravery, he was retained as a general.
Later, he conquered all directions, relied on his powerful martial arts, charged into battle, and made many military exploits, and gradually became Xu Zhisheng's trusted confidant.
Staying in the capital might be taboo for King Wu Yang Rui, so Xu Zhisheng tried to transfer him here to be the leader of the party. "
