Eternal Sword

Chapter 124 Return
On the long street, the sound of killing was deafening.

At the instruction of Han Lang, the two thousand city defense troops of Wu'an County were stationed here and watched from the sidelines.

"How is this going?"

"The Blackwater Gang is going crazy, attacking this house. Who is inside?"

"Not sure, those people seem to be Suzaku Guards."

The city defense troops below had no idea what was going on and felt a little uneasy.

Only a few captains knew what was going to happen in Wu'an County.

Even the captains could only vaguely guess what the situation was and were feeling uneasy.

"No need to ask any more questions. Just follow the county lieutenant's orders."

A captain looked around and shouted softly, suppressing the noise in the crowd.

At this moment, a figure came galloping from one end of the long street. Many city defense soldiers looked back and quickly recognized that it was the County Magistrate Li Yan!

Behind Li Yan, there were hundreds of people holding sharp blades, full of murderous intent, chasing him all the way here.

"It's Mr. Li!"

"The people chasing him are from Wu'an Marquis Mansion."

"Should we help?"

The city defense soldiers were whispering.

At the same time, on the other side of the long street, hundreds of blood-soaked guards were running towards this place, led by the three siblings Li Boxiong, Li Zhongmou and Li Junqing!
"Go help Chen Tang and the others first."

Under the command of Li Boxiong, many guards of the Li family joined the battlefield and fought with the Black Water Gang. Chen Tang and his companions finally got a chance to catch their breath.

Han Lang's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Yan is plotting a rebellion. Everyone, listen to my orders. All the guards of the Li family will be killed without mercy!"

"Listen to me, everyone!"

Li Yan came to the front of the Li family, looked at the city defense army in front of him, and shouted: "The Huo family and the Black Water Gang have joined forces to rebel and betray the Qian Kingdom! You must not be deceived by them and follow them to commit the crime of treason!"

These words immediately caused a stir among the city defense forces.

Everyone is not a fool.

Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that what Li Yan said is more likely.

If Li Yan rebelled, these people from the Blackwater Gang would have no way to explain themselves.

Han Lang scolded: "What nonsense, confusing right and wrong!"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "The Princess of Qian Country lives in this house. You allowed the Black Water Gang to attack the Princess's residence. Your evil intentions are obvious!"

The numerous city defense troops could see it clearly.

In that house, there was indeed a woman holding a dagger. She was extremely beautiful and exuded an air of nobility.

Everyone was just now privately speculating about the identity of this woman.

"What nonsense are you talking to him about!"

Huo Zinan led his men over and said in a deep voice, "Kill all the people in the Li family!"

"Look who he is. I don't see if anyone from the Huo family dares to touch him!"

Li Boxiong was standing in front of everyone, holding an old man who was tied up.

When everyone in the Huo family looked closely, they found that the old man was Marquis Wu'an!

Huo Zinan looked grim.

In fact, when he saw that Li Yan was the only one in the county magistrate's mansion just now, he vaguely guessed that this situation would happen.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

It was too late to rush back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

When the Huo family saw that Marquis Wu'an had fallen into Li Boxiong's hands, they were so afraid to act that they looked at each other and did not dare to act rashly.

Han Lang also frowned.

After all, he is Marquis Wu'an's man.

Now that Marquis Wu'an had been captured, it was difficult for him to give the order to attack.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

"You Qian people are really wasting time, why are you nagging me?"

Xiao Xun couldn't bear to watch it any longer and couldn't help but yell.

At present, Han Lang has two thousand city defense troops under his command, while the Huo family has hundreds of elite soldiers, but they are actually afraid to act because of a Marquis Wu'an.

As a result, only the members of their Black Water Gang were left. They fought to the death with the Li Family and the Suzaku Guards, suffered heavy losses, and were unable to gain any advantage at all.

Huo Zinan's expression was uncertain, his eyes flickered, and he clenched his fists, as if he was still hesitating.

Xiao Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Zinan, how can you accomplish anything if you are so hesitant?"

When Huo Zinan heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally made a decision.

"Uncle Wu, you take care of Li Yan, and leave the rest to me."

Huo Zinan said something.

Wu Cheng nodded, and immediately took action, rushing towards Li Yan.

The two sides fought again.

Huo Zinan took the bow and arrow from the hand of his personal attendant behind him, put the arrow on the bowstring, and walked slowly towards Li Boxiong with a cold expression.

"Zinan, you..."

Marquis Wu'an seemed to realize something and his eyes were a little flustered.

"Dad, you are old. You have been suffering from illness for many years. You are living a life worse than death."

Huo Zinan said slowly: "Why not, I'll give you a ride so you don't have to suffer any more!"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Zinan drew his bow and drew his arrow.

Whoosh!
The arrow was like a meteor, shooting straight towards Marquis Wu'an's face!
Li Boxiong was shocked. He didn't expect that Huo Zinan would be so cruel to his own father!
He quickly took Wu'an Hou and dodged to the side.

Huo Zinan kept moving and continued to draw his arrows and shoot!

Li Boxiong could only protect Wu'an Hou and continue to dodge.

This creates a strange scene.

Huo Zinan attacked his own father repeatedly, but Li Boxiong saved Wu'an Hou's life several times.

If he killed Wu'an Hou, it would be exactly what Huo Zinan wanted. "Huo Zinan, your wife is also in our hands!"

At this moment, Li Junqing pushed out a woman in her thirties.

Li Junqing said coldly: "Your wife is the daughter of the governor of Pingzhou. Since you are so powerful, why don't you try shooting an arrow at her?"

Huo Zinan paused.

Even if he had great courage, he would not dare to shoot his own wife.

On the battlefield, the two sides suddenly fell into a confrontation.

The Huo family, the Blackwater Gang, and Han Lang have an absolute advantage in numbers, but Li Yan holds two key figures in his hands. Except for the people from the Blackwater Gang, no one else dares to move.

Han Lang raised his voice and said, "Li Yan, Li Boxiong, given the current situation, why bother struggling? The Blackwater Nation's army will arrive soon. By then, no matter how many bargaining chips you have, it will be useless!"

This statement is indeed true.

Whether it is Marquis Wu'an or the Crown Prince's wife, they can only make the Huo family and the city defense troops present feel fearful.

The people of Blackwater Kingdom don't care about these.

Li Yan was still fighting with Wu Cheng and could not reply.

The two were the only two third-grade warriors present. Both of them had opened up their own meridians, releasing their internal energy. They fought continuously in mid-air, their energy was unbridled and the momentum was quite small.

Wu Chengsheng is opening up six meridians.

Li Yansheng is relatively young and still in his prime.

The two fought, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner for a while.

After hearing Han Lang's words, Li Yan took a deep breath and temporarily forced Wu Cheng to retreat. At the same time, he said loudly: "All the soldiers have heard it, right? Han Lang colluded with the Huo family to the Black Water Kingdom and sold Wu'an County. Why should you follow him!"

"Think about it. Among the people of Wu'an County, there are also your parents and children. Do you want to see them fall into the hands of foreigners?"

The two thousand city defense troops, once captured, would definitely reverse the situation.

Li Yan still didn't give up.

When many city defense troops heard Li Yan's words, they fell into deep thought.

If you raise an army to rebel, you will lose your head and your entire clan will be killed! This is a heinous crime!
Unless they are forced to the point where they can't survive, no one would be willing to do such a thing.

Wu Cheng rushed up again and fought with Li Yan to stop him from speaking further.

Han Lang said in a deep voice: "You don't have to listen to his nonsense. Emperor Qian is cruel and doesn't regard us as human beings. Have you ever had a good life in the past thirty years? The current Emperor Qian is young and ignorant. Sooner or later, the Qian Kingdom will be torn apart and fall apart!"

"At that time, this place will be plunged into endless war. It is better to return to the Far North Frost Region, at least we can save our lives in the chaotic world."

Many city defense troops were quickly persuaded by Han Lang.

Han Lang continued, "Moreover, the Black Water Kingdom's army is about to arrive in Wu'an County. If you help the Li family, you will definitely become the target of Black Water Kingdom's revenge. At that time, you will be doomed!"

These words are powerful, combining soft and hard tactics, and even carrying threats and intimidation.

The city defense troops also began to murmur in their hearts.

If they really help the Li family, Wu'an County will definitely fall once the Black Water Kingdom's army approaches.

When the city is broken, who among them will survive?

"Hahahahaha!"

Just then, everyone heard a loud laugh.

At first, the laughter was still far away.

In a blink of an eye, the laughter came closer.

I saw an old man with a short stature and round body like a ball, holding a bamboo stick, looking dusty and walking towards me!

Seeing this person show up, Chen Tang and Qing Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The fat old man is finally back!
"The Black Water Nation's army can't come!"

The fat old man laughed loudly, and his figure flashed and passed by Wu Cheng.

The next moment, Wu Cheng's head tilted and he fell to the ground.

Everyone took a closer look.

I saw a bloody hole between Wu Cheng’s eyebrows!
His body movements were too fast, and his attacks were even faster.

Except for Li Yan who was fighting with Wu Cheng, no one else could see clearly what happened!
At the moment when the fat old man and Wu Cheng's figures intersected, the fat old man raised the bamboo pole and pushed it forward gently.

This time, it seemed light and powerless.

But Wu Cheng couldn't dodge and was stabbed to death!
A third-grade warrior couldn't hold off the fat old man for even one round.

Li Yan was secretly shocked.

The old man's movements reminded him of a world-famous figure decades ago!
The fat old man killed Wu Cheng and continued to rush towards Han Lang in the city defense army!

"You are a bad boy, and you are good at talking. Don't say it again in the future."

When the last word fell, the fat old man had already arrived above the city defense army!

"Stop him!"

Han Lang's pupils contracted and his scalp felt numb.

He had never seen such terrifying movements before. Like a ghost, it appeared in the blink of an eye.

The four captains were all promoted by him and are loyal to him.

Seeing Han Lang in danger, the four of them jumped up and drew their swords at the same time!

thump! thump!
The four men's feet had just left the ground, and they were halfway through their jump. Their swords had not yet been completely pulled out of their scabbards, and they fell back.

The four men lay on the ground, their eyes wide open, blank expressions, and motionless.

There was a small hole on the top of everyone's head, and blood was flowing out of it.

Four thousand commanders, all dead!
From beginning to end, the fat old man's figure did not stop at all.

In a flash, he arrived in front of Han Lang!

"what!"

Han Lang was almost frightened to death. He mustered up his courage, roared, and wanted to draw his sword to fight.

puff!

A bamboo stick was poked into his mouth and came out from the back of his head!
The shouting stopped abruptly.

Han Lang died.
