All of a sudden, the harmonious atmosphere between the two parties just now became tense.
The guards standing behind Gongsun Bo had their sword handles unsheathed, and they were just waiting for an order to take action.
"Gongsun Bo, are you going to rebel?" Xue Muxiu also confronted Gongsun Bo at this time.
Both sides refused to give in at all. At this time, Tang Xiao, who had an indifferent expression, snorted coldly.
"What are you doing, can you do it here? Do you still have Honshu Mu in your eyes?"
"Please ask the state pastor to uphold justice." Xue Muxiu took a step back.
Tang Feng nodded and said to Gongsun Bo, "Gongsun Bo, as the Prime Minister of a state, I respect you. The Gongsun family is indeed very powerful, but the pastor of this state is not a decoration."
"If we really start taking action, you and I won't be able to keep going in circles. How about this, you and I each take a step back, and I'll give you a quarter of an hour to inform your juniors to leave."
"In a quarter of an hour, I will lead someone there, okay?"
This time Gongsun Bo was not as tough as before, his eyes flashed and he was thinking.
The Gongsun family is indeed very powerful in Xizhou, but Tang Feng, as a state shepherd, doesn't know how to show off.
This time Tang Feng took the initiative to give in and gave him enough face if he insisted on refusing.
If Tang Feng is really angered, the Gongsun family will have to pay a heavy price.
After a moment of silence, Gongsun Bo said, "Since the Zhou Mu has said this, I have nothing to say. I just hope that the Zhou Mu can restrain certain people and not to do evil things."
When Xue Muchiu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and was about to step forward to fight with him.
Tang Feng stopped him and took him aside.
Xue Muxiu said softly, "Sir, why do you have to give in? With you and me working together, even if we force our way in, we can rush through."
"Give us a quarter of an hour now. When we arrive, we will probably suffer countless casualties. The chance to overthrow the Gongsun family has been lost."
Xue Muxiu was unwilling to give in. Tang Feng shook his head and said softly, "Haha, the concession is only apparent, just to paralyze Gongsun Bo. We stay here and deal with it. In fact, another team has already set off."
Seeing Tang Feng's playful expression, Xue Muxiu quickly understood that he seemed to be thinking of something and glanced around.
He showed an expression of admiration and said, "As expected of you, sir. I never thought of it. I admire you so much."
"Now, what we have to do is buy Earl Su time and don't let Gongsun Bo react. I hope Earl Su can hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Xue Muchiu agreed, and after a while, the two stepped forward to continue communicating with Gongsun Bo.
At this time, in the abandoned inn, the battle between the two sides was very fierce.
The arrows flying all over the sky turned the courtyard wall of the inn into a sieve. Especially at the door, there were many corpses piled up, and the ground was covered with blood.
In the previous battle, the two sides surrounded the door and once engaged in close combat.
The gate changed hands repeatedly, and several times during this period, the inn was invaded.
But with everyone's fearless counterattack, especially the group of black men, everyone was desperate for their lives. Some of them even pulled the wire and detonated high explosives.
Several explosions rang out, and the soldiers who rushed into the inn were killed and injured in large numbers. They had no choice but to retreat and could only continue to adopt a long-distance attack stance.
I thought the battle would be resolved in a few minutes, but unexpectedly it turned into a stalemate.
More than half of Su Qian's soldiers were killed or wounded, and similarly, more than a hundred of the Gongsun family's soldiers were killed or wounded.
The number of soldiers was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they just couldn't take down this abandoned inn.
This incident even alarmed Gongsun Yi, who was supervising the battle remotely.
He had already come to the front from the rear.
His expression changed from calm and composed just now to livid.
Just now, he had learned about this and alarmed Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu.
These two men, already with a thousand soldiers, were less than ten miles behind him.
His father negotiated with the two and finally left him only a quarter of an hour.
When the time comes, if Su Qian and the others cannot be killed,
That will be the end of the Gongsun family.
Seeing that the front line could not be attacked for a long time, Gongsun Yi was also angry. His eyes narrowed, as if he had made some decision.
He said fiercely, "Set fire to me and burn them to death!"
When these words came out, a counselor beside him repeatedly stopped him.
"Master, no. Once a fire is set, there will be thick smoke. The thick smoke will spread everywhere. Things here will be completely hidden."
"Please think twice, Master."
Gongsun Yi didn't know the consequences, but he really had no choice at the moment.
Su Qi'an's group of subordinates resisted tenaciously, even more than the Heilu he brought. He was confident of killing Su Qi'an.
But if they were killed one by one, Tang Feng's troops would have arrived long ago.
This matter is very risky, but once Su Qian is burned to death and there is no evidence to prove it, what can Tang Feng do to the Gongsun family?
After much thought, Gongsun Yi made up his mind and shouted coldly, "Listen to my order, set fire to them and burn them to death. I won't have to bear the consequences."
With these words, the next moment, the arrows shooting from the sky stopped for a while.
Immediately afterwards, arrows burning with flames poured down like fire rain.
Arrows flew everywhere and soon ignited the flammable vegetation. Later, the abandoned houses gradually burned with flames.
Seeing this scene, Su Qian's face changed slightly. He never expected that Gongsun Yi would be so vicious.
Even if he wanted to put out the fire, there were too few people around him, so he could only be responsible for a nearby area, and he couldn't help those further away.
Su Qi'an was prepared for going into such a dangerous situation today. He glanced at Miss Ninth, who was wielding a long whip, took a deep breath, and then said.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ninth, I asked you to follow me deep into the dangerous situation. Follow my arrangements. I will lead Colonel Wang and the others to directly blast a way. You should take this opportunity to escape as soon as possible."
Just when Su Qi'an was about to stand up, he called to Wang Xiaowei and other close soldiers to prepare to open the way.
Miss Ninth stretched out her palm, grabbed Su Qi'an, shook her head, and said, "We are not in desperate situation. If we want to be heroes, I will not agree."
The next moment, Miss Ninth looked around, put her little finger in her mouth, and whistled.
The whistle sounded rhythmically, and after a while, a dozen figures in black robes appeared, as if they were conjured out of thin air.
It flew over the heads of everyone, and in a few breaths, went straight to the people outside the courtyard wall.
These people are armed with various weapons, including knives, swords, bows, spears, halberds... and so on.
Although I didn't see them take action, based on the Qinggong they just performed, their strength is definitely not lower than Tong Zhan's, or even higher than Tong Zhan's.
After a dozen or so people appeared, a third of the flaming arrows that had filled the sky disappeared in an instant.
Su Qi'an and others took advantage of the situation and looked outside.
These dozen or so people, at this time, each looked like a real god of murder, charging back and forth among the large swaths of soldiers.
More importantly, they know how to cooperate, and that kind of tacit understanding is perfect.
"Each of these people are extremely skilled."
After just one meeting, Su Qian made this judgment in her heart.
These people are very powerful, like gods of death, charging back and forth, comparable to a small army.
But there were four to five hundred soldiers besieging them this time. Even if these people were all extremely skilled, it was impossible to eradicate more than four hundred soldiers.
But there is no problem in covering some people's escape.
After the black-clothed master rushed back and forth, he waited until all the soldiers came to their senses and surrounded him, then retreated and returned to the inn.
Arriving in front of Miss Ninth, the leader whispered, "Miss Ninth, follow us quickly, it's too dangerous here."
Miss Ninth did not answer, but instead asked, "Are they all taken away together?"
"This... we can't do it. Please forgive me."
"Then stay, open a gap in the back, and cover the retreat of the wounded with us."
As soon as these words came out, the people in front of them all hesitated.
"Why, don't you even listen to me?"
"Don't dare!"
Su Qi'an, who was beside her, watched this scene and quickly smoothed things over, "Miss Jiu, I know your good intentions, but the situation is complicated right now. You'd better leave with them first. Su promises to come back alive."
Who would have thought that this time, Miss Ninth was uncharacteristically shaking her head.
He said directly, "If you want to leave, let's go together. Stop talking nonsense. Okay, follow my orders, quickly open the gap and cover the retreat of the wounded."
Miss Ninth's tone was soft but tough. Not even Su Qian could change her decision.
Ninth Girl spoke, and the dozen or so masters in black could only tell her to do as they were told.
A few people stayed behind and never left Miss Ninth's side from beginning to end, protecting her safety.
At this moment, an angry voice sounded outside the courtyard wall.
"Set fires and throw stones. I want them to die here. No one can escape."
At this time, Gongsun Yi's murderous intention kept pouring out of his heart.
Just now, in just a few minutes, these black-clothed masters appeared from nowhere and killed more than a hundred of his subordinates after a rush.
Among them are more than half of the Hei Lu. They are all elites, and they are just lost here.
How not to make Gongsun Yi angry? Now he has completely fallen into madness.
Using all long-range means, Su Qi'an and the others will be completely killed.
The sky was full of fire rain, mixed with flying boulders, which suddenly made the dilapidated post station completely unable to support it.
There was a bang.
The walls of the courtyard collapsed one after another, leaving everyone exposed to the attack.
Su Qi'an and others were not afraid and commanded the remaining troops to rush directly to Gongsun Yi's position.
The two sides charged together again.
At the same time, Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu, who were dealing with Gongsun Bo, soon felt their ground tremble slightly, and then thick smoke rose from the forest ahead.
Seeing this scene, Gongsun Bo's expression changed instantly, and he was about to say something.
Tang Feng and Xue Muxiu actually took action in advance.
"Get it for me!"
In an instant, a large number of soldiers rushed over and directly controlled Gongsun Bo.
The guards behind him wanted to step forward to rescue him, but were shocked by Tang Feng's cold shout.
"Everyone, stop me. Anyone who dares to take a step forward will be punished by me as a treasonous person and will be killed without mercy!"
In an instant, the expressions of these guards changed. They looked at the captured owner, thought for a moment, and finally put down their weapons, held their heads in their hands, and chose not to resist.
