As dozens of figures appeared, the situation clearly escalated.
Liu Asi's face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "Get in formation and protect the carriage!"
The Li family members dismounted one after another and quickly formed a defensive formation with the carriage as the center of the circle. The horizontal swords on their waists were also unsheathed, and everyone maintained a slightly squatting attack posture.
From Liu Asi's order to the quick formation of the formation, almost in an instant, the surrounding mountain road was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Liu Asi stared at the mysterious man with cold eyes and shouted: "In the wilderness, you are setting up an ambush to assassinate the current county prince. Who gave you the courage? Aren't you afraid that the Nine Clans will be executed?"
The Li family's formation also shocked the mysterious man.
The dozens of people who were originally ambush in the dense forest had no intention of using it, but he had just been beaten and was about to continue being beaten, so the mysterious man had no choice but to let those people show up.
The purpose of showing up was mainly to embolden himself, and had no intention of assassinating Li Qinzai.
Is it an overreaction for the Li family to act like this? Or do you want to deliberately label them as assassins of the county marquis and make the matter bigger?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! I have no intention of assassinating Marquis Li County. I misunderstood!" The mysterious man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept waving his hands to the dozens of people behind him to signal them not to approach.
Dozens of people sprang out from the dense forest, including dozens of people from the Li family. The two sides were almost equal in number.
The difference is that the Li family are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. With just one order, they can form a small formation capable of both offense and defense in an instant.
Although the dozens of people on the opposite side couldn't see the way out, judging from their unprepared performance from the moment they appeared, they were obviously not as good as the Li family.
While the two sides were in a stalemate, the curtain of the carriage was opened again, and Li Qinzai was alarmed by the movement outside.
"Ha, you are plotting to assassinate me? Okay! I haven't seen such a talented guy in years. Brothers, take down these assassins and tie them to the Weinan County government office to receive meritorious service. No more, no less, you can get a few bucks of wine money." Li Qinzai laughed. smiled.
The musicians responded with a roar, and instantly geared up and became as powerful as a rainbow.
The mysterious man was shocked and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute! Marquis Li County, wait a minute! Listen to the villain, he is just a servant. I have something to say on behalf of my boss."
Li Qinzai smiled and waved his hand and said, "I told you not to talk to sneaky people."
The mysterious man gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, Marquis Li County. It's really not convenient for me to reveal the origin of the proprietor. I can only say one sentence."
Li Qinzai stared at him with a smile: "If you have a better attitude, I might be willing to listen."
The mysterious man was straightforward and knelt down in front of the carriage without saying a word.
"It was the villain who offended me just now. Please consider that I am just a dog raised by the proprietor and don't argue with the villain," Marquis Li said.
Li Qinzai sighed: "You have already said this, and it seems that I am not generous enough to argue with you anymore. Okay, you can tell me what you have to say."
The mysterious man quickly looked at Tang Ji next to the carriage and said: "The proprietor has a word of advice to Marquis Li County. Tang Ji has no right and wrong and is morally corrupt. Marquis Li County must not keep him."
Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows in surprise and glanced at Tang Ji.
It turns out that this group of people came for Tang Ji, and they were obviously Tang Ji's former enemies.
Just after being released from Dali Temple, the other party got the news so quickly and sent troops to intercept him halfway. This force should not be underestimated.
However, Li Qinzai was not frightened, so he glanced at Tang Ji with a half-smile and said, "Trouble has come before we get home. Have I attracted a troublemaker?"
Tang Ji sighed and said, "I will handle my matter. Marquis Li doesn't have to interfere."
Li Qinzai raised his chin towards the opposite side and said: "There are dozens of people on the opposite side. You are going to deal with them? Can you beat them? They look so fierce..."
Tang Ji turned over and dismounted, and smiled calmly: "There is nothing important in life except death, that's all."
After speaking, Tang Ji walked towards the mysterious man step by step.
The mysterious man obviously knew him. When he saw Tang Ji approaching, he couldn't help but smile, with a hint of murderous intent in his smile.
"Mr. Tang, it's been a long time."
Tang Ji stared at his face and said, "I just left Dali Temple today, and you set up an ambush on this mountain road. You are really powerful."
"Young Master Tang, for your own good and the good of your family, and not to involve Marquis Li of County, I would like to advise Young Master Tang to come with me. Now that the matter is over, your relatives of the Tang family who are far away in Qiannan Guizhou can be safe and sound. Live a good life."
When Tang Ji mentioned his family, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
The mysterious man said calmly: "It's not a threat, it's a fact. From the day your father was exiled, the outcome of this matter was destined."
"But my master said that you are the only male left in the Tang family. If Mr. Tang goes with us, the relatives of the Tang family in southern Guizhou can be let go."
Tang Ji's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was obviously struggling internally.
After a long time, Tang Ji suddenly said: "Okay, I'll go with you. I hope you keep your word and don't harm my family."
The mysterious man smiled, his smile full of pride, and he even glanced at Li Qinzai provocatively.
The mysterious man turned around and left, with Tang Ji following him obediently.
From beginning to end, there was not even a single explanation for Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai didn't mind either. He sat on the shaft of the carriage and watched them go away with a smile.
Liu Asi couldn't help but approached him and said, "Fifth Young Master, this Tang Ji seems... very soft. Have you misjudged the person?"
Li Qinzai said leisurely: "He is a grown man, how do I know if he is soft or not? But I must have seen the right person..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ji, who had walked dozens of steps away and passed by the dozens of men, suddenly moved and snatched the knife from one of the men's hands with lightning speed.
As soon as the knife was in hand, he slashed forward without hesitation. The mysterious man fell down at the sound, and a hideous gash was opened in his back.
Then Tang Ji swung his second sword, hitting the mysterious man's neck accurately and hard. While the mysterious man was still lying on the ground twitching, his head and body were separated.
The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, without any redundancy. In the blink of an eye, the domineering mysterious man died completely, and his blood flowed all over the ground.
It wasn't until the mysterious man moved his head that the dozens of men around him realized what he was doing. They were shocked and came forward with curses.
Tang Ji sheathed his sword and quickly retreated, not stopping until he reached Li Qinzai's carriage.
Just as dozens of men were about to continue charging, there was a sharp roar and a sharp arrow passed through the chest of the leading man, and the man fell to the ground.
This arrow immediately shocked the other men. They immediately stopped and stared at Li Qinzai on the carriage shaft in fear.
Beside the carriage, Liu Asi slowly put away the strong bow in his hand and gave them a cold laugh.
Everything happened too fast, and the dust settled in a few breaths. Everyone who deserved to die was dead, and those who didn't deserve to die couldn't die anyway.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "In front of me, those who dare to touch me, do you think I don't exist? Or does your master think that I am naturally good-tempered, and I won't get angry even if I slap my face?"
With smiles on their faces, the men clearly saw the murderous intent, and became even more silent, daring not to move.
