Chapter 106 It's Our Turn
"mother!"
Looking at the slender figure moving farther and farther away from him, Su Chen covered his sister's mouth tightly, preventing her from making a sound, "Cui Cui, you can't cause trouble for the adults at this time!"
A group of black shadows rushed out from all directions, each holding a sharp knife, and tied up anyone they saw without mercy.
"Ah Cheng——"
Someone outside called Su Cheng's name, and the next moment, someone gagged him, tied his hands and feet, and threw him aside.
The small village was engulfed in flames, and cries of wailing and begging for mercy were heard everywhere. The masked men, holding torches, approached the end of the village.
"Are you satisfied?"
Wei Ji was walking at the end, holding a girl in his arms. The girl was wearing a veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. She huddled in his arms as if she had no bones.
"The last family at the end of the village is my blood enemy. Kill them, and you and I will flee far away and never return."
The woman's smiling voice rang in his ears. Wei Ji's eyes darkened slightly as he directed the masked man beside him, "Go to the end of the village."
Arriving at the Liu family compound, Wei Ji sensed something was amiss and raised his hand to stop them. "Wait, why are there another group of people?"
There were traces of fighting on the roofs of the Liu, Xie and Yan houses, and feather arrows stuck in the ground. It was obviously not done by their own people.
"Stop! Where did they come from?" Mo Wei hid on the roof of Xie's house, looking at Wei Ji and his group coldly with a serious expression.
The prince had said long ago that Su Cheng had experts helping him, and these people must be them.
"Brother Mo, the Xie family's helpers are here." The subordinate beside him spoke softly, with a look of unwavering worry on his face, "Peng Yun is still here, we're afraid..."
"Shut up." Mo Wei shouted in a low voice, his face extremely grim. "How can you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Peng Yun is Dou Mingwei's capable deputy general. He would never leave the main general's side without permission. He is at the Xie family, and Dou Mingwei is most likely there too. Don't forget who Dou Mingwei's master is!"
"Brother Mo means... Prince Ruyang is also hiding here?"
"This is the prince's conjecture." Mo Wei's face was gloomy. He straightened his longbow, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Today, I will kill gods and Buddhas who stand in my way. Su Cheng will definitely die! No matter who is behind her, I will kill her together!"
"yes."
"Wei Ji, we've been tricked..." the man in his arms asked softly, his voice trembling. "The Xie family must have anticipated our arrival and are trying to catch us in a trap."
"Don't be afraid." Wei Ji hugged her tightly, his eyes firm, "As long as I'm here, your enemies will die."
The next moment, the group of people hiding on the roof took the lead in attacking, and a sky full of arrows shot towards Wei Ji and others.
Wei Ji held the beautiful woman in one hand and brandished his sword with the other, cutting off all the flying arrows. "Kill!"
There seemed to be a lot more people on the roof. Both sides drew their swords and fought fiercely on the roof. Many tiles fell down, and even the beams above were shaking.
"Something's wrong..." Du Heng held a wooden basin on his head for self-defense, his hands tightly clinging to the window sill, squinting his presbyopic eyes to look outside, "Why is there a fight outside? They don't look like General Dou's men."
"Looks like two groups of assassins have arrived." Su Cheng hid at the kitchen door, kitchen knife in hand. She had scattered a handful of beans on the ground, and anyone who stepped on them would surely fall. "They probably thought they were the foreign reinforcements I hired, and that's why the fight started."
"Two groups..." Du Heng's legs trembled when he heard this, and his old face turned pale. "Cheng, can we still escape this disaster?"
Su Cheng looked up at him with a solemn expression, "I have a feeling that the group above are Huo Beiting's people."
Du Heng shrank his neck and whispered, "What about the other group?"
Su Cheng half-closed his eyes, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, "Zhou Beibei."
Blood mixed with rain flowed down from the roof. The bright moon was covered by dark clouds, and not even a star could be seen in the sky.
In the pitch-black night, no one noticed that the door of the Xie family had quietly opened a crack, and a figure ran away to the Yan family next door.
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, Dou Mingwei could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, "My dear, let me lead my men to fight our way out."
"I call you stupid, but you're really not smart. You only know how to use force." Yan Ci took a sip of cold tea and held his chin with one hand. "Let me ask you, our people are all here, how can there be such a lively fight outside?"
Dou Mingwei was stunned for a moment, scratching his head before realizing, "Are they fighting among themselves?"
Looking at General Dou's clear yet foolish eyes, Yan Ci closed his eyes and sighed, "When Suzhou was away, I really missed him."
If I stay with such a rough guy, I will be driven stupid.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped. Mo Wei fell to the ground, clutching his injured arm, and stared sinisterly at the person in front of him, "How dare you! Do you know who my master is?"
Wei Ji's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he looked down at him, "No matter who your master is, you will die under my sword today."
"What a big tone!" Mo Wei sneered, and stood up shakily. "Most of your men were killed or injured, and you still dare to challenge me. Even if you are the king of heaven, if you dare to protect Su Cheng, you will die."
"Protecting Su Cheng?" Zhou Beibei huddled in Wei Ji's arms. Upon hearing this, she immediately spoke, "Aren't you Su Cheng's people?"
After hearing this, no matter how dumb Mo Wei was, he knew that he had made a mistake. His face changed instantly and he turned to look at the Xie family who had been quiet for a long time.
Zhou Beibei followed his gaze, her eyes becoming vicious, "Su Cheng, that bitch, deceived us all!"
The next moment, the man rushed towards Mo Wei like a sword, and the tip of the gun flashed with cold light and stabbed into his neck.
Mo Wei's face changed drastically. He quickly retreated, blocking himself with his long sword to avoid the fatal blow. He then turned around and rushed forward, fighting with the man.
"Xie Ming..." Zhou Beibei recognized the man and immediately tugged at Wei Ji's clothes, whispering, "Quick, go kill him."
Wei Ji was like a puppet, without his own consciousness, only listening to the words of the person in his arms. Upon hearing this, he immediately picked up his long sword and helped Mo Wei.
The spear was unstoppable, and Xie Ming's movements were so fast that they left afterimages. The wounds on his body seemed to be about to burst open. He completely ignored himself and only wanted to protect his family behind him. When Mo Wei turned sideways, he thrust the spear and pierced his arm.
Wei Ji's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He raised the long sword in his hand high and chopped it down at the man's back.
There was a loud bang, and the old hen in the yard was frightened and flapped its wings and screamed.
A wisp of white smoke floated out from the muzzle of the pistol, and behind the smoke were Xie Jinyu's cold and gloomy phoenix eyes.
Wei Ji's arm was broken and his body was blown away. He took several steps back before he could finally steady himself.
Xie Jinyu calmly blew the fire stick to light the tinder, the flames illuminated his eyes. With a smile on his lips, he said softly, "Now, it's our turn."
