Qi Guze only intended to scare them and get them to reveal who was behind it all.
The sword in his hand moved slightly, slicing through the skin on the leader's neck, drawing blood and filling the air with the stench of blood.
The leader was immediately terrified, his trousers became wet, and he stammered out what he had said.
"Our master is Miss Atu!"
"Miss Atu wishes to invite you, young master, to return with us!"
"The Atu family is a noble family in the Mingyue Kingdom. If you come back with us, you will definitely be an honored guest. The Atu family will certainly not treat you unfairly!"
He wanted to persuade Qi Guze to go back with them, so that they would no longer be enemies, but sons-in-law and sons-in-law.
How could Qi Guze possibly go back with these people to find Miss Atu?
If I had been willing back then, I definitely would have agreed long ago.
How could they have gone so far away from there?
These people don't understand Qi Guze at all. Under the control of the Atu family, they have long been brainwashed and believe that Atujia, this nobleman, is a unique existence in the entire Mingyue Kingdom.
But in the eyes of Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai, it was nothing.
"I will not go back with you, so get out of here!"
"If you dare to bother me again, I will tear you to pieces!"
When these people heard Qi Guze referring to himself as "this king," they knew something about the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Some time ago, they heard that the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom had come to their Mingyue Kingdom for some unique reasons.
Unexpectedly, the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom was none other than the man in brocade robes standing before them!
"Are you the Regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom?"
The leader asked in great fear.
Qi Guze curled his lips slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
The leader almost stopped in his tracks when he saw this.
He had heard that the regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom was a ruthless and cruel man who killed people without hesitation!
If Qi Guze catches me today, I'll probably be in deep trouble and won't be able to leave without suffering a lot of pain.
However, Qi Guze had just made it clear to them that they should get lost and stop bothering him.
Thinking of this, the leader quickly waved his hand, wanting to lead his brothers to retreat as soon as possible.
"I'll get out of here right now! I'll take my men and get out of here as quickly as possible! Please forgive me, Your Highness! Please don't hold it against us!"
Just as Qi Guze was about to retract his sword, he suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds as they shot towards him.
He quickly raised his sword and began to defend that area.
As a result, they watched helplessly as a barrage of arrows rained down on them!
"Ah—! Your Majesty, I just said I would leave immediately, how could you be so cruel to us?"
The leader was hit by an arrow, which pierced a large hole in his shoulder.
Those around him were also hit by arrows.
Qi Guze quickly swung his sword to block the arrows.
However, only a small portion of the arrows were aimed at him, as if they knew he could deflect them, so they didn't waste so many arrows.
Most of the arrows hit Atu's guards, leaving many of them riddled with holes, like a honeycomb, their bodies covered in bloody wounds – a truly horrifying sight.
"Your Highness! Please order your men to let us go! We won't do anything to you again!"
"We will absolutely not bother you again!"
The leader hurriedly protected his men, but the arrows kept coming.
Xu Yuehuai also noticed something was wrong. The other party was trying to use Qi Guze's identity to kill Atu's family's secret guards, and then shift the blame to Qi Guze, making him the target of everyone's hatred and incurring the Atu family's resentment.
This created an enemy for Qi Guze, and it was the noble family of the Mingyue Kingdom that he offended!
If the Atu family were to join forces with a neighboring noble family, wouldn't that bring Qi Guze a lot of enemies?
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly explained to the leader, "These assassins were not arranged by our prince at all!"
"You'd better take your men and leave immediately, and go tell your young lady that someone is trying to harm your Atu family!"
"This has nothing to do with us, so don't talk nonsense later!"
Qi Guze saw that Atu's family's secret guards had been attacked, and now only a few of the dozen or so people were left alive.
If he hadn't stepped in to help, all of these people would have been wiped out immediately.
But if he helps them, they won't stand on Qi Guze's side then, and they'll have to tell Atuga's people that he harmed these guards, which wouldn't be a good thing for him.
But should we save these people or not?
Xu Yuehuai gave Qi Guze a look, and Qi Guze decided to rescue those people.
He swung his sword, instantly deflecting a large number of arrows.
Atu's guards, led by his brother, hurriedly dragged one of his brothers down the tower, their bodies wounded and covered in blood.
His eyes were full of resentment. After he was safe, he turned around and glared at Qi Guze.
"Sigh, you saved them, but this person still holds a grudge against you."
"When he goes back and complains to Atu's family, he'll make you even more enemies."
Xu Yuehuai sighed helplessly, shook her head, and felt a little sorry for Qi Guze.
Whenever he did something good, it would be overshadowed by something even worse. No one thanked him; instead, they smeared him and resented him.
Qi Guze was already familiar with it and his emotions were no longer affected.
"This is exactly the result that the person who shot me in the back wanted. Even if he doesn't blame me for this when he goes back this time, after a while, those who want to harm me will still use all sorts of methods to frame me."
"This time it was my oversight. I will definitely have Pei Xuan and the others investigate thoroughly to find out who has any entanglement with the Atu family and who has any grudge against us. We will dig them out and deal with them all."
Qi Guze had already taken Xu Yuehuai down from the tower and headed to a safe place.
On that tower, many corpses lay fallen, and arrows littered the surrounding area.
Just a short while after Qi Guze and the others left, a man in black appeared from the shadows and dropped a sachet on the ground.
That sachet was stolen from Xu Yuehuai on the street by someone he had sent before!
By leaving the sachet here, Atu's family can find evidence and locate Xu Yuehuai and his group. They will definitely blame Xu Yuehuai and his group for this!
