Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

After reading the account book, Wang Hongfu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

These people are truly lawless. Such things actually happen in such a small country like Xizhou.

"Don't be angry, Manager Wang. Isn't that why we are here?"

The guard squad leader came over with a piece of roasted meat and a bowl of soup.

Wang Hongfu sighed after the result:

"Alas, such a thing actually happened under my management, and Wang cannot escape the blame.

Especially since Wang Wencheng was nominated by me and he is also my cousin, Wang has added guilt to his crime.

I am ashamed of the trust placed in me by His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

"Shopkeeper Wang, it's useless to think about other things now. You must handle the current situation well so as not to disappoint His Royal Highness Prince Ji's expectations of you.

I have a question for you: if Wang Wencheng is caught, what will Manager Wang do with him?"

The guard squad leader asked casually.

Wang Hongfu took a sip of the soup, and the warm flow down his stomach made him feel a little better.

"After arresting Wang Wencheng and his followers, take them back to Chang'an and let His Royal Highness Prince Ji decide their fate.

Wang is now wishing he could kill this bastard with his own hands."

When Wang Hongfu said this, the guard squad leader could see hatred in Wang Hongfu's eyes.

How could Wang Hongfu not hate Wang Wencheng? He wished he could eat him alive.

If it weren't for him, how could His Royal Highness Prince Ji take his anger out on me? I was almost killed.

I have worked hard to get to where I am today, with both money and power.

As long as you are a good dog to someone, you will no longer be bullied, no longer bow and scrape to others, and no longer be so humble.

His children, who were of lowly birth, were able to study, take the imperial examinations, and become officials.

The results of his more than ten years of hard work were almost wasted by Wang Wencheng, and his family was destroyed.

How could he not hate Wang Wencheng?

"Well, let's take them back and let His Royal Highness Prince Ji deal with them. They are all slaves of Prince Ji's mansion.

It should be handled by His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

The two of them said no more. They ate the meat and drank the soup, while Wang Hongfu was thinking about his own things.

The night was quiet, with only the crackling of the campfire as the only sound.

Everyone went into the tent to sleep, leaving only one person to keep watch.

“Click, click.”

"Who?"

The guard on night watch heard the slight noise and immediately shouted and asked.

This sound is also to wake up those who are sleeping.

“Swoosh~~~Dang~~~”

An arrow flew over and hit the guard's armor, making a sound.

"Enemy attack!"

The guard yelled and crouched in a low place to look.

In the darkness, you can vaguely see a human figure swaying.

“Swoosh~~Swoosh~~Swoosh~~”

Immediately afterwards, a wave of arrows shot into the depression where they were.

The captain of the guards was the first to rush out of the tent and come to the guards. He was wearing armor and was not afraid of ordinary arrow feathers.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

He asked, lying on the ground and looking into the distance.

"Squad leader, judging by the number of arrows, there should be about thirty people on the other side."

"Protect Shopkeeper Wang."

The guard squad leader turned around and shouted.

At this moment Wang Hongfu also ran over.

"Squad Leader Sun, who is the other party?"

"I don't know now, but I guess it's the guards in the workshop. It seems that they found out that their people were killed, so they came here to look for them."

The guard squad leader shook his head.

The squad leader of the more than 30 guards did not take them seriously, but he had the burden of Wang Hongfu on his side, so there were some troubles.

A guard picked up a burning stick from the bonfire and threw it out with all his strength.

In the light of the fire, everyone saw a group of people slowly approaching.

"Shoot with a crossbow."

At a command from the squad leader, the team members took out their crossbows and fired a wave of arrows forward using the faint firelight.

Whoosh~~whoosh~~whoosh~~

"Ah~~"

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

The sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air caused someone to scream.

"The other side has bows and crossbows, charge over."

Someone suddenly shouted from the other side.

"Kill!"

Killings were happening everywhere, footsteps were approaching, and more than 20 people were rushing forward with machetes in hand.

"Array up!"

The guard squad leader did not panic. More than twenty people were nothing. At his command, the guards instantly set up a defensive formation and protected Wang Hongfu behind them.

These are formations that have been rehearsed countless times. From small formations to large formations, the guards practice them every day.

The purpose is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Ji at the critical moment.

The group retreated to the bottom of the depression, where there was a bonfire and the view was clearer.

The enemies quickly approached and jumped down from the slope.

Each guard was holding a long sword, ready for battle.

The hilts of the swords of both sides were explained in detail. There was no fighting or cursing, only the sound of swords clashing and screams.

Wang Hongfu picked up a crossbow from the ground, pulled out the quiver behind a guard, struggled to string the arrow, and then shot from behind.

Although his shooting was not accurate, the distance was close and there were so many people that he did not need to aim.

He could hit one with any arrow, but unfortunately he was a little slow in drawing the bow.

The battle did not last long. The guards cut through the crowd like cutting melons and vegetables.

The other side then realized that the armor worn by the guards was impossible to break, and their fighting power was no match for them. They would soon be slaughtered.

"withdraw!"

At a command from the other leader, the remaining few people crawled up the slope and ran quickly into the darkness.

"Don't chase poor bandits."

The captain of the guards stopped the guard who wanted to chase after him. It was pitch black outside and he didn't know if the other party had any backup plan.

If there is an ambush, they will most likely be defeated one by one, but they can still fight if they gather together.

Lying on the slope, the captain of the guard took out a telescope and looked around. It was too dark and he could not see anything.

"Captain, what should we do with those injured enemies?"

A guard came over and asked.

The guard squad leader looked at Wang Hongfu, asking if it was of any use.

Wang Hongfu shook his head and said nothing.

"Go."

The guard squad leader said something.

The guards understood immediately and started screaming.

"Manager Wang, these people must be in the same group as those people during the day.

They followed the trail we left behind."

The guard squad leader analyzed it.

"Captain Sun, should we evacuate now? We have been discovered here and it is not safe."

The guard squad leader shook his head.

“No, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. I don’t know how much murderous intent there is in this dark night. Let’s wait until daybreak before leaving.

If they didn't have an ambush, they must have gone back to report. It's not easy to march at night, so they won't arrive so quickly."

At this time, Ma Wenchang came over. He had been hiding behind the tent during the battle just now. Fortunately, he was not shot.

The guards ignored him and were all protecting Wang Hongfu.

"Manager Wang, I think if they are going to report the news, they will not go to the workshop, but to Wang Wencheng."
