Following the explosion in the county mansion, the entire county city was completely in chaos. Whether inside or outside the city, both sides started to use weapons.
There was not much difference in the strength of the troops on both sides. For a while, no one was able to break through the other's offensive, and they suddenly fell into a stalemate.
At this time, the huge iron gate of the county palace collapsed, and everyone in the palace was stunned.
Who would have thought that this thick iron door would actually be blown up by black powder, and the smoke would fill the air. Then, seven or eight figures rushed in from the smoke.
While everyone was stunned, they took Su Qi'an and four others and left by force.
"Don't let them escape. Chase them quickly. No matter who they are, shoot to death!"
The Qingcheng County Sheriff reacted quickly and ordered quickly. He knew very well that once Su Qi'an and others were allowed to escape from the county government, the real disaster would be imminent for the two of them.
Moreover, this inexplicable rescue was able to blow up the iron gate, which is enough to show that these people have a lot of background.
It is definitely a state pastor, or even above the level, who has the black gunpowder equivalent to blowing up an iron gate, which is not something that ordinary local dignitaries can have.
If such a person were to escape and leave the county, his and the high priest's plans would be over.
When things have developed to this point, we can only bite the bullet and fight. Either you die or I live. There is no room for maneuver on either side.
The sword and axemen who came back to their senses quickly rushed out, and the crossbowmen behind them also followed.
If you want to escape from the county palace from the middle hall, there is a vestibule in the middle.
This courtyard occupies a large area, and it will be difficult to get out for a while. Of course, the axemen and crossbowmen in the rear realized the seriousness of the matter, and they all tried their best to catch up.
The seven or eight people who fled here with Su Qi'an slowed down a lot and were caught up when they fled to the courtyard.
Arrows were fired rapidly, and everyone hurriedly avoided and blocked them. The arrows came and slowed down everyone again. In less than a moment, many swordsmen and axemen hurriedly surrounded Su Qian's dozen people.
Su Qi'an knew the seven or eight people who took action. They were Lin Huwei and others who were protecting the Ninth Princess.
For the sake of the safety of the Ninth Princess, Su Qi'an set off without informing her about this trip to the county town. She was supposed to be sure of it, but unexpectedly, a state envoy appeared in the middle of the trip, and finally made the Qingcheng County Sheriff jump over the wall and kill her. Su Qian.
This was something Su Qi'an didn't expect. He was very grateful to Lin Huwei for taking action, but right now Su Qi'an was worried about the safety of Song Biao, Su Yong, and Tong Zhan.
Of the four, Su Qian was the only one who was okay and suffered only minor injuries. Tong Zhan, Song Biao, and Su Yong were seriously injured. If they continued to drag on, they might have lost too much blood and endangered their lives.
Su Qian stood up and said to Guard Lin, "Guard Lin can come to the rescue. Su is very grateful, but I also ask Guard Lin to help rescue these three subordinates of mine. I will buy time for you here."
"In this case, Su will be very grateful."
As soon as Su Qi'an's voice fell, Tong Zhan and the others shook their heads quickly. Although they were seriously injured, they could not accept Su Qi'an's need to cover for them.
After following Su Qi'an for so long, Su Qi'an's words are enough. After all, how can a master risk his own life to save the lives of their subordinates?
The three of them stood up, holding on to their injured bodies, with arguments on their faces, hoping that Guard Lin could take Su Qi'an away while the three of them stayed behind to cover.
This scene was naturally seen by the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the high priest who came over, and he sneered.
"Hmph, it's really touching. Don't worry, let alone you, including those who came to rescue them, none of them can escape today, they will all die for this county!"
"Hmph, a little county guard dares to speak nonsense here and wants us to die. It depends on whether you have the ability."
Guard Lin snorted coldly and took a step forward. The seven guards around him formed a ring to protect the four of Su Qi'an.
Even if there were forty or fifty people in front of them, the eight guards Lin were not afraid at all.
Lin Huwei turned his head and said to Su Qi'an, "Master Su, it's a little early to say this now. We still don't know who will win. There are more than one who will take action this time."
I'm waiting for eight people to give it a try, it's not a dead end. "
"You mean? Could it be Jiu..." Su Qian was startled and looked thoughtful.
He understood instantly, nodded, and took a deep breath. Since that person was planning to take action, the chaos in the county and city this time would have to be calmed down even if the Zhou Mu came.
"In that case, let's give it a try."
Su Qi'an reassembled an iron spear, and the next moment, the twelve of them headed directly towards the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the High Priest.
Their goal is very clear, no matter how many obstacles are in front of them, they must capture the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the high priest, so that they can turn their passivity into initiative.
Su Qi'an and the others rushed towards him, which made the Qingcheng County Sheriff and the high priest panic, but they had already experienced such an experience just now.
He quickly retreated, commanding the axemen and crossbowmen to come forward, forming a human wall and outflanking them.
The two sides once again fell into fierce fighting.
At this time, outside the city, the two sides were in a stalemate, making as much noise as attacking a city.
The killing sounds were loud with both hands, and they were completely indifferent. One thing is that the strength of the state soldiers was one or two levels higher than that of the county soldiers. In the continuous fierce battle, both sides suffered hundreds of casualties, and the battle loss ratio was almost one. Compare one.
Just as the battle between the two sides further intensified and the casualties increased again, suddenly, several loud arrows rang out in their sky.
The sound of the arrow was not only sharp, but also exploded with fireworks in the dark sky.
Immediately afterwards, a series of high-pitched voices sounded at the same time behind them, gathering together.
"According to the order of the Ninth Palace of the Imperial Family, the fighting should be stopped immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
There was a bit of inexplicable majesty in the high-pitched voice, which made people feel excited.
There was no need to make this sound. Just the fireworks that appeared above their heads just now made both sides of the fierce battle freeze in place.
Those who can use fireworks and arrows are not qualified to use them even if they are state shepherds. Only the royal family members can use them.
A high-pitched voice sounded, and then, in the darkness behind, six to seven hundred people slowly walked out holding torches.
Although they were all wearing black robes, the cold aura emanating from their bodies gave people a chilling feeling.
In the middle, a gorgeous carriage drove out slowly.
Looking at these familiar black robes, the first and second regiments in the fierce battle were the first to make some moves. They immediately gathered their troops and quickly retreated.
Standing on the side of the black-robed men and horses, lowering their heads to show respect.
Su Qi'an had explained that if he was not around and the Ninth Princess took action, they would have to obey unconditionally no matter what orders the Ninth Princess gave.
Not only did it show respect for the Ninth Princess, but more importantly, the Ninth Princess took action. This time the crisis in the county was finally calmed down.
The Dongshan Army responded quickly, which does not mean that the state soldiers and county guards will actively cooperate.
In Qingcheng County, a place where nothing matters, a member of the royal family appeared inexplicably in the middle of the night, especially Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess?
This is really hard for them to imagine. The state soldiers are not bad. They can become state soldiers. They still have some eyesight.
They stared at the six or seven hundred men in black robes who were gradually approaching, feeling the cold aura emanating from them. At a glance, they knew they were not ordinary people.
The state soldiers on their city wall had their eyes flashing, waiting for the man in black robe to get closer and ask questions to verify his identity. If it was true, they would not hesitate to open the city gate to greet him.
The state soldiers' thoughts were good, but that didn't mean that those of the government soldiers were the same, as the dragon guards of the Ninth Princess gradually approached.
Among the soldiers who were pushed aside, someone unknown suddenly shouted.
"Brothers, don't be deceived. This is a trap. How could it be such a coincidence? How could the Great Liang royal family come to Jiaozhou, and she is also the ninth princess that His Majesty loves most."
"Brothers, this is definitely a trap set by Su. Go ahead, kill them, capture this person, and go claim the reward!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the soldiers did flicker, and their hearts were obviously a little different.
Just when the man was about to continue agitating, suddenly, there was a sound
A cold voice suddenly sounded, "If you dare to offend His Highness, you are seeking death!"
The next moment, the leading men in black robes, without saying a word, drew their bows and arrows, and shot an arrow at the source of the sound.
Before these soldiers could react, they could only hear the whistling wind in their ears. When they came to their senses, one of the soldiers was pierced by several arrows and fell down.
The man in black robe suddenly showed his hand, which frightened the soldiers.
In such darkness, he relied on listening to identify his location, and the arrows shot from three directions did not affect other people. He accurately found the person who had just encouraged him and shot him accurately.
With this ability, even a so-called marksman would find it difficult to achieve it.
Not only that, after shooting the noisy man to death, another man in black robe took action. This time his target was not the government soldiers, but the state soldiers on the city wall in front.
An arrow shot away, directly grazing the head of a state soldier and hitting the pillar behind.
When the arrow hit the pillar, there was a token shaking slightly.
The distance of this arrow is at least 120 steps, which is about 150 meters. And judging from his archery condition, these 120 steps should not be his limit.
Normally, Baibu is a qualified marksman. Good guy, the strength displayed by the four or five people who just showed up left the soldiers stunned.
If the hundreds of people left behind were like this, it would suddenly make the soldiers' hair stand on end. This would be terrible.
Before the state soldiers could sigh, the state soldiers on the city wall looked at the token nailed to the pillar, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Without saying anything, he immediately shouted to open the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, a large number of state soldiers poured out. Under the shocked eyes of the government soldiers, they rushed to the man in black robe and knelt down directly.
The leading men hurriedly said, "It was us who were ignorant and did not recognize His Highness. We offended His Highness. We hope that His Highness will atone for his sins."
This scene instantly made Fu Bing, who had been a little strange just now, feel like he was at the bottom of his heart.
He also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness. Read the book
The Ninth Princess in the carriage whispered two words, "Lead the way!"
The leading state soldier stood up quickly, looked nervous, and quickly led the way.
