Looking at the newcomer, Meng Suo's expression turned extremely grim. "Soul-Breaking Knife Guo Bei?! You were once a renowned hero in the martial arts world, but now you've become a disciple of a demonic sect, committing crimes! Where's your blood?"
"Haha, you're talking to me about courage? The court doesn't need us to be courageous, it just needs us to abide by the rules. As the saying goes, Confucianism disrupts the law, and knights violate the law with force. Meng Suo, are you out of your mind? How dare you get involved in everything?"
"If you know what's best for you, hand over the mother and child immediately and surrender. Since we have some friendship, I can ask the Immortal Master for mercy on your behalf."
"Bah! Daydreaming! The Marquis of Huaiyin is the descendant of a loyal and righteous man, yet just because he offended that evil Taoist, he was ordered by that tyrant emperor to confiscate his property and exterminate his entire clan. This behavior is simply insane! Anyone with a shred of righteousness in their heart will not sit idly by."
"Alright, alright, there's no need to act so righteous here. We know exactly who your master is. If the Marquis of Huaiyin hadn't been obsessed with trying to please your master, his family wouldn't have suffered this misfortune."
"Besides, the evidence is irrefutable that Marquis Huaiyin kidnapped Master Lu and the Princess. What's there to argue about? I'll ask you one last time: do you want to surrender, or do you want to resist to the end?"
Meng Suo did not answer Guo Bei, but just pressed the spring and the sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
"Alright, alright, it looks like we're going to have a fight today. Let me experience the power of the Cloud Piercing Sword!" Guo Bei took out his ghost-head knife and waved his hand at his men behind him, saying, "Kill! Leave no one alive!"
From the very beginning, Guo Bei had no intention of leaving any survivors. Lu Chen's order to them was to find the mother and son and then wipe them out completely.
Because even if we catch the mother and son, it is impossible to bring down that master. If that's the case, then why bother?
Lu Chen wanted to kill the mother and son, firstly to wipe out the roots, and secondly to tell everyone that if you dare to attack him, you will die no matter who your backer is.
In this era of imperfect laws, if one wants to stand firm, one must be ruthless!
The two sides engaged in fighting in an instant. As soon as they came into contact, these martial artists were beaten back step by step and were in disarray. Within a few breaths, five or six people fell to the ground and were obviously dead.
Meng Suo's pupils trembled when he saw this. The people around him were all well-known masters in the martial arts world. Meng Suo could never have imagined that when facing the court's lackeys, these people would be so vulnerable.
What frightened him even more was that after he and Guo Bei had fought for several rounds, several cracks appeared on the sword in his hand.
If he continued to fight, the weapon in his hand would most likely be cut off by the opponent!
What does it mean that these people are all using standard weapons? It means that the imperial court may have mastered a new way of making weapons.
The weapons of the folk martial artists are far inferior to those of the Jinyiwei.
Meng Suo also realized that the Jinyiwei were relying on the advantage of their weapons to fight them head-on, and they had no tricks at all.
"Brother Meng, take your men and go first. We'll hold them back!"
Just when Meng Suo was thinking about how to break the deadlock, someone on their side roared, took a knife blow from the Jinyiwei, rushed forward, knocked the Jinyiwei to the ground, and started fighting with him.
With the first person setting an example, more people soon rushed up and fought with the Jinyiwei by exchanging injuries for injuries.
Meng Suo knew very well that these people might not be able to come back.
He gritted his teeth, pulled up the woman and child sitting on the ground and said, "Let's go!"
Seeing Meng Suo leading his men away, someone stepped forward and said, "Captain, let me lead my men to chase them!"
Guo Bei looked at Meng Suo's receding figure and stretched out his hand to the person beside him, saying, "Kamikaze Crossbow!"
Someone nearby immediately took out a powerful crossbow from a long box. The crossbow was pitch black and the crossbow arrow glowed with a faint blue light.
Guo Bei wound up the gun with a winch, attached it to the scope, and locked the crosshairs on Meng Suo who was riding a horse.
With a "bang", the crossbow arrow was like a meteor, instantly piercing Meng Suo's shoulder blade.
"Excellent archery! Qian Hu can really hit the target from a hundred paces!"
"Cut the bullshit! I had a scope and a dedicated craftsman corrected the trajectory, but I still missed. How can that be considered good archery?"
The person who had just flattered him smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain, shall I send someone after them right away?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's deal with these gangsters first. Let him run for a while. If he doesn't escape, how can we find his contact? If we can't find the contact, how can we confiscate his property and exterminate his clan? You have to know that those people in the south are all quite rich!"
The flatterer said in shock, "So our purpose this time isn't to kill people, but to find an excuse to continue raiding their homes and making money, right?"
"Watch your words. What do you mean by amassing wealth? We, the Jinyiwei, are doing things for the people. Can that be called amassing wealth? It's called the rational redistribution of social resources. That's what the Imperial Master said."
"Amazing! The national master's style is unbeatable!"
"Now you understand why I'm a captain, you're a soldier, and Master Lu is a national master. This is the gap!"
With an arrow stuck in his shoulder, Meng Suo ran for three hours with the mother and son from the Marquis' Mansion in this state.
When it was completely dark, Meng Suo finally ran out of strength and fell off his horse.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in a dilapidated temple, and the arrow wound on his shoulder had been treated.
Meng Suo suddenly turned over and sat up, but because the movement was too violent, the wound was pulled, and the pain made him grimace again.
