Chapter 570 Want His Money
A wounded guard came running over, panting. "I'm afraid we can't hold on any longer. Please ask the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince to leave here as soon as possible."
"How could that be?" Chu Yunzhao was quite surprised.
Zhu Shisan and his companions were already at the end of their rope. They had been chased by them for several days in a row, and now there were only a dozen of them left. And here, although Captain Yu had brought many people to the mountain to encircle them, there were still twenty or thirty skilled fighters left here.
No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't have been suppressed so badly by Zhu Shisan and others.
"Since he is secretly attacking Chencang now, he must have left enough backup plans earlier." Chu Jinnian disagreed and said softly, "If we send a signal now, it will be too late for the commander to come back. It seems that the only way left is the last one."
"Jing Zhao, take the things out of the box."
Jing Zhao nodded solemnly, said "yes", then took out a tightly packed box, placed it carefully on the table, and gently opened the lid of the box.
Inside, dark things were revealed.
When Chu Yunzhao saw that the things inside were firearms, he took a breath and asked, "When did you bring these things with you?"
They have always had the upper hand. On the surface, it can be said that they can easily deal with Zhu Shisan and others. However, he still brought these very dangerous things with him. If you think about it carefully, it is a bit strange.
"It's just a precaution."
Chu Jinnian touched his nose and made up an excuse, "Since I came to Lu, I have heard about some of Zhu Shisan's deeds from the prefect here. I can see that this person is very sinister and cunning, so I brought these things with me. If I encounter danger, I can use one or two of them."
"Yes." Chu Yunzhao nodded, but in his heart he was more and more impressed by Chu Jinnian's carefulness and meticulous observation. He just grabbed Chu Jinnian's sleeve and said solemnly, "If you can escape this time, I will definitely reward you and ask for credit for you in front of my father."
"There's no need to ask for credit, but if the Fourth Prince really wants to thank me, why not give me a few more of your shops in the capital?" Chu Jinnian glanced at Chu Yunzhao.
Chu Yunzhao, "..."
It's already this late, and he's still thinking about his shop! He expressed his gratitude with deep affection, but Chu Jinnian only wanted his money! "Young Master, everything is ready." Jing Zhao had already arranged all the things according to Chu Jinnian's instructions, and the fuse that needed to be ignited had been laid out, and he had the fire starter ready in his hand.
He even ordered the guard beside him to go outside to report the news, and asked his own people to stay away to avoid accidental injuries.
When the people outside got the news, they all stepped aside and inadvertently revealed the current location of Chu Jinnian and Chu Yunzhao.
Zhu Shisan was a sturdy man with a leopard head and round eyes, eight feet tall. There was a long scar on his cheek. He grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "I thought these guards were loyal people, but they were so scared after just a short fight that they forgot all about loyalty."
"Brother is right. These officials only work harder when they are paid. But no matter how good the money is, it is just money. It is certainly not as important as their lives. Of course, they know clearly what to do now." Zhou Er, who was standing by, also laughed and wiped the blood that had just splashed on his face.
"Old Second is right. All these people want is to get promoted and make money. How can they compare to our friendship that has been through thick and thin together?"
Zhu Shisan smiled sinisterly, "Since the imperial court won't tolerate us, then we'll just go for it and fight them hard."
"The old emperor thinks highly of us and even sent his own son and nephew here. Let's go big this time and let the old emperor send us off, so that he can also feel the pain we felt when we lost our brothers!"
"Come on, follow me and kill the Fourth Prince and the Prince of Qi. This will be a way to comfort our dead brothers!"
“Kill, kill!”
The people who followed Zhu Shisan were now blood-thirsty. They just followed Zhu Shisan and shouted loudly, and even rushed into the yard with Zhu Shisan holding a big knife.
But when he arrived at the gate of the yard where Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou were, he saw only darkness inside and no movement at all.
"Brother, I'm afraid these two people have already run away?" Zhou Er scratched his scalp.
"Run?" Zhu Shisan curled his lips. "Where else can he run to? These two are very treacherous and cunning. I'm afraid they are just trying to scare us now!"
"Let's go, rush in and kill those two bastards!"
Zhu Shisan shouted angrily and rushed to the front. However, just as he stepped over the threshold of the yard, he felt something tighten around his ankle. There was a "clang" sound, like a broken guitar string, and then he saw a black object flying towards his face.
Zhu Shisan was quick to grab it. When he saw that the object in his hand was just an ordinary stone, he laughed out loud, "After all, he was raised in a wealthy family. He probably has never seen a fight with real guns and knives. He is actually playing house like a child."
"The more this is the case, the more it means that these two bastards are in there. Come on, brothers, whoever can capture these two bastards alive will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and you can live happily ever after!"
At Zhu Shisan's command, the rest of the people rushed in and headed straight for the houses.
Boom!
There was a loud bang and a flash of fire, followed by a scream.
Zhu Shisan and Zhou Er were both stunned.
Immediately afterwards, there were a few more loud rumbling noises, which turned the originally flat courtyard into a mess and killed most of Zhu Shisan's men. Even if there were a few survivors, they had broken limbs and could not move at all on the ground.
"Brother, this is like walking into a trap!" Zhou Er looked at his brothers wailing on the ground, his eyes turned red. He took two or three people who were not seriously injured at the moment and rushed into the house.
But before he rushed in, he ran into Jing Zhao head-on.
Jing Zhao held a long sword in his hand and forced Zhou Er back a few steps.
Zhou Er became furious and rushed forward again with all his strength. Jing Zhao naturally tried his best to stop him, and the two of them soon started fighting.
When the other people saw Jing Zhao being stopped by Zhou Er, they took the opportunity to rush into the house. However, just as their feet reached the threshold, two people fell to the ground.
