Upon hearing Jin Chuan's words, Tong Mingshan narrowed his eyes, then said nonchalantly, "Lord Jin, why aren't you staying in Ningcheng? What are you doing in Yulin?"
“Heh, Tong Mingshan, if I hadn’t come to Yulin, I wouldn’t have known that you had committed such heinous acts here. If you surrender now and confess your crimes, I will, out of consideration for our past as colleagues, petition the Emperor for leniency,” Jin Chuan advised.
Upon hearing this, Tong Mingshan burst into laughter. "Lord Jin, I never expected that someone your age, who has been naive for so many years in officialdom, would still be so innocent. If you are willing to submit to me now, I will consider sparing your life; otherwise..."
Tong Mingshan paused, then pointed to the several layers of guards surrounding the courtyard and said, "Lord Jin, do you think Zhao Ruojin's small force can protect you? It wouldn't be worth it if you accidentally lost your life in Yulin."
"Tong Mingshan, how dare you threaten an official of the imperial court! Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the court and punish you for the grave crime of disrespect!"
Jin Chuan was so angry that his body trembled. This person who used to be so subservient to him was now acting like a smug little man.
"Hahaha, a crime of disrespect?" Tong Mingshan looked at Jin Chuan with disdain. "Lord Jin, you should think about whether you can survive tonight first. Attack! Leave no one alive except Zhao Ruojin!"
Zhao Ruojin!
He almost ruined his plans, and Tong Mingshan couldn't stand the anger in his heart. He wanted to keep Zhao Ruojin here and torment her properly.
At Tong Mingshan's command, his men rushed into the courtyard, and a fight broke out between the two sides.
Su Wenzhou handed Lord Jin over to Yan Luo for protection and then rushed into the battlefield.
With Su Wenzhou and Liu Jing's skills, they were not afraid of these people, but they couldn't withstand the enemy's numbers. During the fight, some people kept shooting rockets at them.
Su Ruojin and Yan Luo could only shoot poison needles and crossbows whenever they could find an opening, but they couldn't scatter poison powder, otherwise Liu Jing's men might also be affected.
"careful!"
"Step back!"
While fighting, Su Wenzhou and Liu Jing kept an eye on Su Ruojin's situation, their hearts pounding in their throats, fearing that Xiaojin and the others might be accidentally injured.
The fire in the house grew bigger and bigger, and seeing that Su Ruojin and the others were becoming more and more powerless to fight back, Tong Mingshan wore a smug smile on his face.
What good is martial arts skill if it can't defeat a large number of opponents?
Tong Mingshan brought all the people he could command, including some of the private soldiers that Bei Li had given him.
A distant relative of the Xu family?
Hehe, even if you are a phoenix from the sky, you have to kneel down before me in Yulin!
Just then, one of the guards behind Tong Mingshan suddenly let out a muffled groan. Turning around, he saw the guard lying on the ground, wounded by an arrow.
"Who? Who is it!" Tong Mingshan was startled. Could it be that Zhao Ruojin had reinforcements?
Then they saw three people riding horses rushing towards them from not far away, and the riders took out crossbows and shot them at them.
Seeing that there were only three people, Tong Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief. "Attack! Kill them all!"
The guards rushed towards the approaching people.
An Yi and the other two drew their swords, leaped off their horses, and engaged in combat with them. For the time being, they were unable to rush to the courtyard to protect Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin's needle struck out and one person fell, thus taking care of quite a few people in a short time.
Tong Mingshan also realized that although Zhao Ruojin and her two young girls could not be considered to know martial arts, the lethality of their poison needles was no less than that of the guards.
Just then, a rocket shot towards Su Wenzhou. He dodged the rocket with a somersault, and the arrow also took away his mask.
In the firelight, Tong Mingshan saw Su Wenzhou's face and was shocked.
How did Su Wenzhou end up here?!
After Su Wenzhou disappeared from Yulin, Tong Mingshan, an official of Yulin, sent many people to capture him, but unexpectedly found him here.
Upon seeing Su Wenzhou, Tong Mingshan was first surprised, then overjoyed.
Very good!
Very good!
If Su Wenzhou is here, then he can completely claim that today's operation was to arrest Su Wenzhou. In that case, who can find fault with him?
It's truly heaven's help!
Hahaha!
Tong Mingshan immediately shouted, "Su Wenzhou! You've finally shown up! Surrender now! I've sent so many men to arrest you, where do you think you can escape to? You've colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! Lay down your weapons and surrender!"
