Chapter 697 Timely Rain to the Rescue

As the Minister of War, Bai Jian was standing at the front holding a blade, sweating nervously.

Fengnian, Fenghu and other military officers followed behind him, confronting the ten men together.

The ten men slowly retreated, with the tips of their blades rushing forward, and were gradually forced into a wall.

Bai Jian shouted, "Everyone, everyone here is our family. Think about the safety of our wives and children. Even if we risk our lives, we have to fight these thieves!"

Fengnian and Fenghu thought of their mother, sister, and wives and children, and their eyes turned red, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, today they must get rid of the thieves and protect them!

Gu's private army was just the opposite. At this moment, their palms were sweating, and they had lost their original momentum.

The charred corpses and the constant wailing of their companions made them confused and difficult to concentrate.

Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Jian lowered his voice, "It is said that to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The two thieves standing in the front must be their leaders. I will stomp my feet as a signal, and everyone will follow me to catch them first!"

"Okay, listen to Lord Bai. It's best for us to catch them by surprise, so that we have a greater chance of winning." Fengnian nodded and responded secretly.

Soon, Bai Jian saw the opportunity, stomped his feet, and then flew the short blade in his hand towards one of them!

The thief obviously did not predict it. He was stabbed hard in the chest, and after a "blood flower" bloomed, he fell down with his eyes wide open.

While the rest of the bandits didn't react, Fengnian and Fenghu rushed forward with their knives without any fear, stabbing at the other leader!

The sacrificial knives were rusty and not sharp enough.

Fortunately, they had been farming for many years. They had nothing else but great courage and strength. They thrust their wrists backwards and stabbed the bandit through!

"Great, you are not a military commander but you are so brave. You are really great. Come on, everyone!"

Bai Jian's eyes lit up with admiration. He picked up the long knife of the fallen bandit and shouted.

Everyone seemed to be excited by Fengnian and the others, and they all rushed up together with a roar.

In a short while, the two sides started fighting, with swords and blood flying.

Xiao Nuobao kept staring at that side, holding his breath, paying attention to the movements of his two brothers.

Sun Chunxue's face was already pale, and she was about to fall down due to nervousness. Li Qiqiao also grabbed the corner of the table, not daring to breathe.

Soon, the fighting became more and more intense.

Gu's private soldiers were well-trained after all, and they had the upper hand after fighting for a while.

Bai Jian was not careful for a moment, and was sandwiched between the two men, and his arm was cut. "Ah!"

Xiao Nuobao saw this, tightened his little fist, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

At this moment, Feng Hu accidentally fell to the ground and was almost hit.

Fortunately, he quickly turned over and rolled away, and jumped up again with a somersault.

"Damn it, luckily I'm used to being kicked on the kang by my wife, so I got out of here quickly, otherwise I would have been in danger just now." Feng Hu gritted his teeth and continued to raise his knife to resist.

The little fat girl narrowed her eyes and quickly hooked her fingers, ready to join the battle with thunder!

Although the thunder was too obvious, unlike the smaller thunder and fire which were not easy to detect.

And all those present were Beijing officials, all of whom had some experience. The sudden strange phenomenon from the sky would definitely arouse suspicion.

But nothing is more important than the second brother!

So she raised her palm and was about to use her mind!

However, at this moment, suddenly, there was a bang, and the door of the Pei Mansion was suddenly knocked open!

Then, what came into everyone's eyes were official swords flashing with cold light, and the majestic and domineering figures of soldiers and generals.

"Master Jiang is here, who dares to act rashly!"

Yang Er rushed in first with a knife in hand, shouting loudly.

Seeing the familiar figures, the eyes of the Feng family lit up, and they were overjoyed.

"Fengze, it's Fengze and the others who are here! That's great!" Sun Chunxue almost cried out.

Xiao Nuobao's little fist loosened, and he waved to his third brother in surprise, "Third brother, you're here just in time!"

Jiang Fengze brought nearly a thousand soldiers and generals, and as soon as he raised his hand and gave an order, he surrounded the Pei Mansion.

He looked stern, and after looking around,

his eyes stayed on his sister, mother, and brothers and sisters-in-law.

Seeing that the whole family was safe and sound, Jiang Fengze's heart, which had been tense all the way, finally relaxed completely.

He then gave the order, "All soldiers, listen up, capture the rebels alive, bring them all back for strict interrogation!"

The soldiers held their official swords tightly and rushed towards the Gu family's private soldiers.

Jiang Fengze hurried to his sister's side, touched her little white face, and said distressedly, "How is it, is everyone okay? Is the third brother late?"

"Just now, I was patrolling the city gate, and I saw the fourth and fifth brothers running so fast that one of their shoes fell off. They came to tell me the news. I never thought that the Gu family's rebels were so crazy." As

he said this, Fengze showed disgust in his eyes.

He really hated those who wanted to undermine the court's rules, and he must catch them all in one fell swoop.

Feng said quickly, "It's not too late, you came at the right time."

At this time, Xiao Nuobao thought of something, turned his little head, and pointed to a place not far away.

"Look, they really want to run, catch them quickly, don't let them really slip away."

Seeing that the situation was over, Gu Changying and Madam Pei's face turned pale, and they were about to flee to the inner courtyard.

Madam Zheng narrowed her eyes and rubbed her wrists, "Young master, watch me! Humph, you thieves, where are you running!"

The next moment, she was seen using a light skill, stepping on a few tables, and hijacking the two women.

Gu Changying was soon pressed to his knees, his face sneered, and was dragged by the collar by Madam Zheng and captured at the feet of the Jiang family.

As for Madam Pei's second wife.

She looked like a small fry, and the Jiang family was too lazy to take action, so they just left her to the female guests present.

Just now, when the men went up to kill her, the woman was already extremely distressed, and the hatred in her heart continued to accumulate, and was about to burst out.

Who could have thought that a good birthday banquet could be a grand banquet?

And the one who lured them into this game was the second wife of the Pei family.

This culprit!

At this moment, this woman was thrown into the middle, kneeling on the ground, looking guilty and not daring to raise her hands.

Many female relatives were furious, how could they let her go? They rolled up their sleeves and approached her step by step.

"You bastard, we sincerely wish you a happy birthday, but you use us as a token of your loyalty to the Gu family. I will tear you apart today!"

Mrs. Bai's eyes were full of anger, and her teeth were trembling. "My man was stabbed just now, and now I will return the knife to you!"

The lady whose face was just scratched by her gnashed her teeth, grabbed the spoon on the table, and scratched her face madly.

"See how I will tease you today, you shameless thing, you want to use our lives to pave the way for the Gu family, we will take your life first today!"

Never underestimate a woman's anger.

Especially when the lives of her children and men are threatened.

Most of the female relatives present surrounded Madam Pei II, and immediately, they tore, grabbed, and slapped her.

In just a moment, Madam Pei II, who was still shouting, became a drowned dog, receiving fifty or sixty slaps, and her hair was almost completely pulled out.

Her scalp was covered in blood, and she staggered to her knees, spitting blood foam from her mouth, "Please, please stop beating me, or someone will die..."

"I know I was wrong, and I was also fooled by Gu Shuren. You all should just do me a favor and let me go... Okay..." Madam Pei II was shaking all over and shivering.

In the end, she seemed to have no self-esteem at all, like a wild dog on a mass grave, and kept kowtowing at the feet of the crowd.
