"Bang bang bang-"

With three sounds as if the door was kicked open came from the second-floor house, Zhao Hongrun and the others subconsciously turned their heads to look, and were shocked to find that more than 20 men also poured down from the second floor of this inn, these people covered their faces with gray scarves one by one, holding swords in their hands, no matter how they looked good.

After these people joined the battle, the situation of the Zongwei immediately became precarious.

No wonder, after all, there are only ten Zongwei, and two of them are separated to protect Zhao Hongrun and the rest of the female dependents with Mi Jiang and Mi Rui sisters, and only Shen Yu and other eight Zongwei are in an extremely disadvantageous situation in terms of numbers.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao, who was pale, hurriedly stood up, came to Zhao Hongrun's side, and shouted: "Quick, let go of me!" …… I can help kill these thieves! ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at Chen Xiao suspiciously, it is undeniable that this son's strength is stronger than any of the Zongwei around him, and he is a brave general from the military, it would be a pity to refuse this combat power.

It's just that although Zhao Hongrun doesn't think that Chen Xiao will have anything to do with these thieves, it is undeniable that Chen Xiao can find his Zhao Hongrun's whereabouts, and these thieves can also find his Zhao Hongrun's whereabouts.

However, after thinking for a moment, Zhao Hongrun nodded slightly towards Mi Jiang.

Mi Jiang understood, so he used his sword to cut the rope that bound Chen Xiao.

However, she still prevented Chen Xiao from suddenly taking countermeasures.

However, this Chen Xiao did not disappoint Zhao Hongrun, after the rope was cut, I saw that Chen Xiao screamed, stepped on the table and jumped towards Shen Yu and the others, and knocked a thief away with one punch, back to back with Shen Yu who was in a besieged situation.

Zongwei Shen Yu was a little surprised, turned his head to look in the direction of Zhao Hongrun, saw that the latter nodded slightly, picked up a blade on the ground with his toes, and handed it to Chen Xiao with his backhand, but he couldn't help but tease Chen Xiao in his mouth: "These people, aren't they your companions?" ”

Chen Xiao's face darkened, and while taking the blade, he said angrily: "These people are not my companions!" …… My companions, they ...... At another inn. ”

It's a pity that Shen Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of nonsense full of loopholes, shouted "Be careful", and swung his knife to meet a thief.

"Tsk!" Chen Xiao exhaled a little depressedly, and also swung his sword and slashed at a thief.

It can be seen that he is not very good at swords, and his sword swinging movements are disorderly, it is simply random slashing, but with his strong arm strength, which is only slightly inferior to Chu Heng, he still has a way out.

"This guy...... Do you want to escape alone?'

Catching a glimpse of Chen Xiao's actions out of the corner of his eye, the sect guards who were struggling to kill the enemy frowned slightly, but to their surprise, Chen Xiao actually threw away the weapon in his hand after he arrived at the inn door of the inn, found a thigh-thick deadbolt from behind the door, and waved the deadbolt and killed it again.

"Oh...... It turns out that this guy is a gunman.'

All the Zongwei were stunned, and they realized that Chen Xiao just felt that the blade in his hand was not in his hand.

Not to mention, Chen Xiao, who was wielding a thick door bolt, finally showed his brave side, waving the door bolt in his hand around, tiger and tiger, and actually made it difficult for the several thieves besieging him to even get close.

Suddenly, only to hear a "bang", the deadbolt in Chen Xiao's hand pushed forward, and hit the chest of a thief, who screamed, flew several feet away, and hit the wall hard, and then spit out a mouthful of blood with a muffled snort, and fell to the ground without moving.

『…… Good arm strength!'

The sect guards were a little surprised.

Only then did they realize that they could take down Chen Xiao in such a short time that day, just because the latter did not have a weapon in his hand, and if they gave Chen Xiao an iron spear as heavy as a door bolt, they might not have subdued this fierce general in a short time.

And Chen Xiao's bravery, Zhao Hongrun also saw it in his eyes.

Maybe Chen Xiao's brain is indeed a little problematic, but his force makes it difficult to imagine that he is just from the army of Zhongyang County.

"Is there an army in Zhongyang County?"

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and then he found out incredibly that Zhongyang County, as a local county, has only one guard army at best, which is commonly known as county soldiers and county guards.

"It turns out that among the local county guards of my Great Wei, there are also brave generals with such force?"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because in his impression, the Wei Rong army in the local county is usually responsible for some tasks of anti-theft, law and order, and suppression of criminals, and there will be no brave generals like Chen Xiao.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun forgot, he forgot the original Yanling Army, which is now the Zhaoling Army, which is actually the earliest army formed by the Weirong Army in Yanling, Linying, Xihua and other places in the face of the offensive of the Chu Army, but now it has an official army number and has become a regular army.

It can be seen from this that although the combat effectiveness of the Wei Rong army in the local counties of Wei is far inferior to the elite divisions such as the sixth battalion of the garrison, it is not a rabble.

With Chen Xiao, a brave general, joining the battle, the situation of the guards has improved a lot, because they have divided some energy to pay attention to the situation on Zhao Hongrun's side during the fight, so they have no intention of killing this group of thieves.

But to their surprise, as the battle situation gradually shifted to Zhao Hongrun's side, none of those thieves ran away, and they still tried to attack Zhao Hongrun again and again, but unfortunately they were stopped by Zhong Zongwei and Chen Xiao, and the Mi Jiang and Mi Rui sisters did not even join the battle later.

"Are you really coming for me?"

Noticing several times that this group of thieves was trying to get close to him, Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply.

Speaking of which, it was the first time he had encountered such an assassination.

It's not so much a fear as something new.

Also, thinking about Zhao Hongrun, he has also been in charge of thousands of armies and horses, and has seen more than 100,000 people fighting on the battlefield at every turn, how can he be frightened because of the assassination of dozens of thieves?

He just wondered, wondering who these thieves had sent.

Zhao Hongrun didn't believe that this group of thieves was trying to rob money, or any attempt to the beauty of girls such as Miss Su and Una, in his opinion, this group of thieves was clearly premeditated, and they laid a trap in advance and waited for him Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

The question is, who is at the command of these people? Or to put it another way, who hates him Zhao Hongrun so much that he sends someone to kill him?

"Could it be Zhao Laiyu from Anling?"

Zhao Hongrun instantly thought of the royal family surnamed Zhao who lived in Anling, that is, the branch of his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun still excluded the third uncle from the suspect.

You must know that Zhao Laiyu is also a member of the royal family surnamed Ji, and even Zongzheng, who was once the last member of the clan, how could he send someone to assassinate a junior in the clan like Zhao Hongrun?

If it was really Zhao Laiyu's doing, then once this matter was exposed, Zhao Laiyu would inevitably be ruined, and even be removed from the genealogy of the Zhao royal family surnamed Ji, and he would not be able to be buried in the ancestral grave in the future.

Zhao Laiyu is already in his sixties, which is the age when he is half-cut into the ground, and the Wei people have always had the custom of returning to their roots, would he risk not being able to be buried in the ancestral grave after death, and send someone to assassinate Zhao Hongrun?

In the same way, it is impossible for Uncle Zhao Tairu to do such a thing.

So the question is, who is the guy who caused these thieves?

Zhao Hongrun carefully looked at the chaotic situation a few times, and suddenly pointed at the shopkeeper and shouted, "Take down this shopkeeper first!" ”

When Zhong Zongwei and Chen Xiao heard this, they immediately killed the shopkeeper.

However, the shopkeeper seemed to be the leader of these thieves, and when he saw that the guards and Chen Xiao surrounded the former, they hurried over to rescue him.

This made the sect guards and Chen Xiao even more determined to take down the shopkeeper.

After about a quarter of an hour of scuffle, a total of more than thirty thieves were killed by Chen Xiao and the sect guards one after another, leaving only the shopkeeper and two other thieves.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said lightly to the shopkeeper: "Hey, now that the matter is over, you should be caught at your feet, right?" ”

But what made Zhao Hongrun stunned was that the shopkeeper, who had multiple wounds all over his body, actually grinned and said as if appreciative: "Zong Wei who is worthy of being from the Zongfu is really powerful......

"Is it even clear about the existence of Zongwei?"

Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and asked quietly, "Zong Wei? What Zongwei? ”

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this: "Why does King Su have to pretend to be garlic? ”

"Sure enough, they came for me!"

Zhao Hongrun was relieved, and after a little thought, he asked, "Who are you responsible for?" What is the enmity with this king? ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper snorted, glanced at the two thieves who were guarding him, and stabbed one of them in the back with his sword.

"You ......" Under the stunned and even shocked gaze of Zhao Hongrun and his party, another thief's expression also changed greatly when he saw this, and he looked back at the shopkeeper and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm still leaving?" …… It's time to fulfill the appointments! ”

The thief's face froze when he heard this, he gritted his teeth, and actually killed himself under the stunned gaze of Zhao Hongrun and others.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper's face was a little pale, he took out a pill-like thing from his arms, looked at it for a moment, then put it in his mouth, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said, "It's a pity." …… If you can kill the famous King Su......"

As soon as he said this, his face suddenly became distorted, and immediately, a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

All the sect guards looked at each other, and after half a ring, Shen Yu, the head of the sect guard, walked over boldly, carefully straightened the shopkeeper, stretched out his hand to check the pulse of this person's neck, and then turned back to Zhao Hongrun and said, "Dead, son." ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, got up and walked over to the shopkeeper's body, carefully examining the dead body.

Only then did he realize that the shopkeeper's face was blue, his lips were purple, and even the blood that flowed out had turned black, and he looked like he had been poisoned to death.

"There is no one alive......

He glanced around at the silent inn, looking at the corpses everywhere, and some cold sweat oozed from his head. (To be continued.) )
