Some of the Shadow Guards rushed in to engage in close combat, while others stood on the roof of the courtyard wall and fired with repeating crossbows, making the assassins below cry for their fathers and mothers, and the screams could not be heard.
At this time, the Red Armored Guards also came to support. They were all wearing red light armor and dark red robes like they were wading out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. They stood together with the Shadow Guards to kill the assassins together. .
Weng Qiuchan, who was in the room, also got dressed, took a bow and arrows, and went out with Nie Chen. He saw that a large number of the assassins in front of him had fallen.
Weng Qiuchan moved a chair, stood on the chair, drew his bow and arrows, and shot the assassins.
Nie Chen also held the knife and walked forward.
"Lord, don't go there!"
Seeing that Nie Chen was about to rush to kill the enemy again, Qi Huan quickly grabbed Nie Chen.
Just kidding, he still knows very well how much Nie Chen weighs. He also knows that Nie Chen is not very good at martial arts, but he still has to charge into battle every time. To use Ma Niubi to describe it, he is both good and fun-loving, so he can't stop him quickly. Well.
"My lord, the red-armored guards have come to support us. Our people can easily deal with it. The enemy's target is you. You must not go there. Be careful of the enemy's counterattack before death!"
"It's okay, I'll just take a look and won't go over."
Nie Chen stepped back again.
Based on the current situation, it seemed that without his help, the Red Armored Guard and the Shadow Guard had completely suppressed the enemy together.
I thought it wouldn't take long to kill them all.
"Nie Chen is over there, hurry up, rush over and kill him!"
A leading man in black shouted loudly, pointed the tip of his knife at Nie Chen, and led the others to kill him.
"Stop hurting my lord!"
A loud shout suddenly came. Zhou An climbed over the courtyard wall, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and rushed into the battle group.
Lin Guang, Zhou Long, Zhou Hu and others also came in from the door and started to kill the enemies.
Zhou An took the lead, wielding Fang Tian's painted halberd and dancing in the wind, killing two or three assassins with each attack, and the number of assassins dropped sharply.
Soon, he rushed to the leading assassin, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and was about to chop it down.
Nie Chen immediately shouted,
"Zhou An, let this person live!"
Hearing this, Zhou An changed from chopping to slapping, and the halberd of Fang Tian's painted halberd hit the leading assassin's arm hard. With a click, the man's arm was severed, and he vomited blood at the mouth. One side flew over.
Zhou An walked over, picked up the man's head, and threw it in front of Nie Chen.
"Your boss has been captured. If you don't want to die, please kneel down and surrender!"
Nie Chen shouted.
The only dozen assassins who were still alive saw their boss lying on the ground like a dead dog. They quickly threw away the knife in their hands and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Just when Nie Chen was about to interrogate these assassins, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"Meet the prince."
"Meet the prince."
Nie Chen looked up and saw King Pingxi, dressed in military uniform, walking over with a barbarian-slaying knife in his hand.
Behind him were Ling Juan and several generals.
After King Pingxi looked at the corpse on the ground and the kneeling assassin, he frowned slightly and said,
"That's it?"
Then, he squinted at Ling Juan.
Obviously, King Pingxi was not very satisfied. He had already put on his armor and picked up his sword, and was just waiting to go on a killing spree and have a good time. However, when he arrived here, he found that it was all over.
That look means it's all your fault for not letting me come out earlier.
"My lord, you are here."
Nie Chen walked over with a smile and said,
"Thank you to the brothers of the Red Armor Guard for helping me this time."
Ling Juan smiled and said,
"We are late, but the brothers of the Shadow Guard are still very powerful and can detect and stop the assassin. Master Nie is not injured, right?"
"No injuries, thank you sister-in-law for your concern."
Nie Chen smiled.
"Do you know the origins of these assassins?"
King Pingxi asked.
"I haven't asked yet."
Nie Chen looked at Qi Huan.
Qi Huan grabbed the assassin leader, pulled off his face towel, and asked,
"Tell me, who are you and who sent you here!"
"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me. We are all members of the West City Gang. We are either assassins or a group of gangsters. Please have mercy on me, sir."
The assassin leader cried.
Qi Huan laughed angrily and said,
"I haven't even started to punish you yet, and you did it. What a weakling. Looking at your fighting ability, you don't look like professionally trained assassins. No wonder you came in so arrogantly. It turned out to be such a gang of ruffians. "
Indeed, this assassination was over in less than ten minutes. The Shadow Guard and the Red Armored Guard both achieved a crushing victory over them. Except for one of the Shadow Guards who was injured by an arrow, there were no casualties among the others. The gang was dispatched.
The gang leader cried and said,
"Uncle, I will say anything, don't kill me, don't kill me."
"Then tell me, who ordered you to come?"
"I don't know. I don't know that person. That person came to us with 5,000 taels of silver and told us to kill Nie Chen. After the incident was completed, we would give another 5,000 taels.
I had never seen so much money before. I agreed immediately because I didn’t know that person at all. "
The gang leader cried.
"What does that guy look like?"
"A young man with a pointed face, no beard, a little thin, and good-looking. He is still here this evening. After giving us orders, he left. I don't know where he went."
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard this. People with this kind of appearance are everywhere. Where can they find them?
Ling Juan immediately shouted,
"Red-armored guard, search the surrounding roofs and corners. This person must still be watching. Even if he runs, he will leave footprints on the snow!"
After the red-armored guards received the order, they immediately spread out to search.
Then, Ling Juan said to Qi Huan,
"Let's take them to the woodshed first, lock them up, torture them, and make them tell everything they know."
Qi Huan nodded, and then asked the Shadow Guard and the Red Armor Guard to interrogate these people.
King Pingxi turned around and said as he walked,
"Go to the lobby and close the door to talk. Don't let the brothers freeze outside in the middle of the night."
"OK."
Nie Chen led everyone towards the lobby. Aaron and Ahu led the guards and cleaned the courtyard with King Pingxi's guards.
On the way, I met Ouyang Ming, who was walking in a big cloak, and they happened to go to the lobby together.
After closing the door and lighting the charcoal stove, the room gradually became warmer.
Ling Juan poured a cup of hot tea to King Pingxi and then said,
"There is a high probability that there will be no results from the trial. This employer is very smart. He does not use his own people and spends money to bribe a gang to assassinate him.
The person who completely disowned himself and even contacted the gang was definitely not the employer himself. This kind of unsolved case could not be found at all, and there would basically be no clues. Even if those assassins killed them, they would not be able to find any clues. Can't tell who the employer is. "
