After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1219 We are ordered to kill traitors

Whoosh!
Bang!
boom!
Qi Tianshi acted almost simultaneously, pulling out a ball smaller than an egg from an unspeakable place and throwing it accurately and ruthlessly in Gu Chengyong's direction.

The ball exploded, and small nail fragments injured Gu Chengyong and several assassins around him, while also releasing some poisonous smoke.

These toxic fumes are Qin Xiaomi and her team's secret weapon against the enemy.

As the fireball exploded, Qin Xiaomi snatched the weapon from Gu Xuan's corpse and launched a fierce attack on Jiao Qianhu.

Clang, clang, clang!

"You vile woman!" Commander Jiao roared in fury, "The Qin family's lowly people plotted murder..."

"By His Majesty's decree, Gu Chengyong has been found guilty of harboring bandits and colluding with the enemy to betray the country, while Commander Jiao is a spy for the enemy. Those who kill Gu and Jiao are hereby pardoned and rewarded!"

Qi Tianshi's highly recognizable and loud voice resounded throughout the study and even outside.

Four centurions outside the study, along with their elite troops, burst open the study door with a bang and raised their swords to strike at the Qin and Guan families.

Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
A loud explosion followed, followed by billowing smoke. Ye Xifen, Zhu Yiqing, Xu Azheng, and others had thrown several small, flaming balls, disrupting the elite troops' attack.

Bang bang!

With two muffled thuds, Lu Qing'an and Xiao Baiying threw the sleeping pill packets towards the study courtyard.

"By His Majesty's decree, Gu Chengyong has been found guilty of harboring bandits and colluding with the enemy to betray the country, while Commander Jiao is a spy for the enemy. Those who kill Gu and Jiao will be pardoned and rewarded!"

"By His Majesty's decree, Gu Chengyong has been found guilty of harboring bandits and colluding with the enemy to betray the country, while Commander Jiao is a spy for the enemy. Those who kill Gu and Jiao will be pardoned and rewarded!"

Qu Tongzhi, Grandpa Qin, Jiang Erlang, Youxing, Qiong Lao's loyal follower, Ling Baihu, and Xiao Tao Baihu shouted repeatedly as they rushed towards the main study.

Beep——!
As the signal arrow soared into the sky, Qu Tongzhi shouted, "All Wei troops in Gufu, do not move rashly! Anyone who moves rashly will be considered an accomplice of Gu and Jiao. Immediately lay down your weapons and surrender, and you will be pardoned and rewarded!"

Wei Jun was stunned at the entrance to the study courtyard.

But those who can get into this place are either Gu Chengyong's confidants or Jiao Qianhu's confidants. Some of the soldiers are even death squads, and some are not even Wei people. They are lurking here to disrupt and destroy Wei!

"Form ranks, kill Qu Tongzhi, suppress this rebellion, and the capital city will once again belong to Lord Gu and us!" Wang, Tang, Song, and Yu, four centurions under the command of Commander Jiao who were guarding the open space outside the courtyard, gathered their troops and led the way with shield soldiers, while archers and crossbowmen launched a long-range attack on Qu Tongzhi's troops.

"Go forth! The families of those who died in battle will receive gold and silver treasures from Gu Chengyong's mansion!" Qu Tongzhi shouted.

Upon hearing this, his soldiers' eyes lit up with greed. Gritting their teeth, they drew their swords and charged forward: "By imperial decree, kill the traitors and divide the gold and silver treasures of the Gu Chengyong family!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down on them.

Bang bang bang!
One group of soldiers fell, and the soldiers behind them took their place and charged forward. After three groups of soldiers died, they finally reached the shield formation.

The soldiers on Qu Tongzhi's side were filled with boundless hatred because of the deaths of their comrades. They were fearless and did not dodge the blades, but attacked with their blades raised.

Clang, clang, clang—the sound of weapons clashing.

Crack, crack, crack—the sound of limbs being chopped off.

The sound of blades piercing flesh filled the air, and blood flowed like a river in front of the study and the courtyard gate.

Lu Qian, Shi Songxin, Si Pei, Qi Yucong and other students were so frightened that they lay on the ground.

Old Qiong said, “Don’t be afraid. You are young masters from noble families. They won’t kill you. Protect yourselves. If you have the strength, you can continue to shout with me: ‘By imperial decree, Gu Chengyong has been harboring bandits for personal gain and has colluded with the enemy to betray the country. Commander Jiao is a spy for the enemy. Anyone who kills Gu and Jiao will be pardoned and rewarded!’”

The young scholars were terrified, but some, like Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan, Si Pei, and Qi Yucong, bravely shouted despite their immense fear, "His Majesty's decree, Gu Chengyong..."

After shouting once, faced with the corpses scattered on the ground, they were filled with grief and anger, and their shouts became even more deafening, even carrying a murderous intent.

The fighting was still raging outside the courtyard gate.

Inside the study, blood and flesh were also flying everywhere.

In a life-or-death battle, there is no room for mercy or hesitation; it's all about chopping!
Duh duh duh!
Ahei, Wenyang, and the chieftain, wielding their slightly curved mountain knives, fiercely slashed at the assassins who stood in their way.

"Hide well, don't show your face." After Ah Ling, Aunt Wen, and Old Qiong, the bodyguard, rushed in, they protected Old Madam Guan, Aunt Qin and her son, Xiao Gu and Xiao Zhu, Old Xun, and others who were hiding in a corner. Mr. Tong was also hiding next to the Qin family, his face pale and covered in cold sweat... He never expected that the Qin family would be so ruthless, killing Gu Xuan without saying a word.

This left Gu Chengyong's side completely bewildered, including him.

Before they could react, Qi Qin Guan and his men, as well as those in the study courtyard and outside the courtyard, went on a killing spree, causing complete chaos.

He could only hide by the side of the great-grandson of the Prince of Ye, seeking protection.

"Waaaah!" Da Bao'er cried loudly because of the loud noise.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Da Bao'er, don't cry, Mommy's here." Aunt Qin covered Da Bao'er's ears in her arms and coaxed him.

While protecting Da Bao'er, Xun Lao held onto his last trump card, preparing to perish together with the assassins.

"The Prince of Ye's grandson and his family are under the table by the window. Charge! Take them hostage, and we can break out of the city!"

Once they leave the city, they are like fish entering the sea; in such chaotic times, the government troops will have no chance of capturing them.

"Come back! You can't abandon our master! As long as he leaves safely, we'll still have good days ahead!" Su Aiqie cried out, tightly gripping the two bodyguards protecting her.

Whoosh! The assassin slashed her with his knife, nearly severing her arm.

"Ah!" she screamed, retreating in terror, trying to get back to the entrance of the secret passage and escape through it.

But she couldn't bear to leave Commander Jiao, so she shouted to the outside world, "Commander Jiao, come here quickly, let's take the adults and escape through the secret passage!"

However, Jiao Qianhu was surrounded and attacked by Qi Tianshi, Youxing, and Qin Xiaomi, and had no way to retreat. He could only shout in response: "Drag Gu Chengyong to the secret passage and take Gu Chengyong away! As long as he is alive, he can continue to give orders!"

This would allow the capital city to continue its internal strife.

With the capital city in constant turmoil, it was impossible to muster the manpower to fight the enemy.

But Su's beloved concubine was already thrown into disarray by the carnage in the study, and all she could see were figures fighting and blood everywhere she looked.

"Su Biniang... come here quickly... take me away!" Gu Chengyong was injured by Qi Tianshi's small fireball and witnessed his beloved son Gu Xuan's neck being twisted and killed. He was physically and mentally exhausted and looked like he was about to die.

But he was so desperate to live that he wanted to keep running for his life.

However, it would have been better if he had kept quiet.

Making a sound would reveal their location.

Those equipped with ranged weapons all attacked him.

Whoosh whoosh!
Qin Xiaomi, Qi Tianshi, A Ling, Guan Shuli, and others unleashed their arrows and throwing knives, all aimed at Gu Chengyong.

Ye Xifen, especially reckless, charged forward, and with a whoosh, she took a blow from the gatekeeper's blade, successfully launching a small fireball.

Bang!
boom!
Another explosion rang out, followed by two screams of agony. Gu Chengyong and Su Aiqie were both injured in the blast.

"Commander Ren, Commander Yun, all Wei soldiers, we will only kill Gu Chengyong. If you surrender, His Majesty will pardon you and reward you!" Commanders Ling and Xiao Tao shouted.

Half of the guards at the entrance to the study were Jiao Qianhu's men, who were determined to destroy the Great Wei and wouldn't listen to any attempts to win them over.

But the other half, who were people who had benefited from the Gu family's influence, began to waver.

"Are you really not going to kill us?!" asked Commander Lu.

"Indeed, the imperial envoy has issued an imperial edict, and this is how the Wei army under Gu Chengyong will be dealt with, because the imperial court still needs you to fight the enemy!"

"Brothers, those who don't want to die with the name of traitors, follow me, Lu Podi, and retreat!" Lu Baihu shouted as he retreated from the study door and headed towards the middle of the courtyard.

After someone took the lead, the remaining half of the soldiers followed Lu Baihu and retreated like a tide.

The area in front of the study was much emptier.
