Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Wang Hongfu knew that if this continued no one would be able to escape, and his obese body could no longer bear it.

He handed the backpack to the captain of the guards, intending to let them go first.

The last words of loyalty were said in order to make King Ji take care of his family in consideration of his loyalty.

Before coming here, he had not imagined it would be so dangerous. Now he was being chased by more than a hundred people.

"What are you talking about, Manager Wang? We are under the order of His Royal Highness Prince Ji to protect your safety.

How can I abandon you? We are not the kind of people who are afraid of death.

Your Highness Prince Ji's orders must be completed. Even if we die, we will die in front of you."

The guard squad leader said with a serious face.

Their mission was to protect Wang Hongfu. If they ran away, the mission would have failed.

No matter what the reason, King Ji will punish you.

Rather than leaving the guard camp in humiliation, it is better to fight to the death. Even if they die in battle, their families will be taken care of by Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Captain Sun, the most important thing is to report what happened here to His Royal Highness Prince Ji. What does my personal life and death matter?

you......"

Wang Hongfu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the guard squad leader.

"Don't say that. We are not at the end of our rope yet."

After that, the guard squad leader said nothing more, and all the guards shot all the arrows in their quivers.

At this moment, the enemy was only thirty feet away from them and was about to catch up.

"Squad leader, you take Shopkeeper Wang and go first. We will hold them off for a while."

A guard suggested.

"It's useless. There are too many of them. You can't stop them."

The captain of the guards shook his head. With so many people and such a large pursuit area, it would be useless if these few people rushed over.

It is possible if there is a small space.

“Don’t worry, their horses are not as good as ours, and they will not be able to withstand such a long chase.

As long as we hold out until their horses get tired, we'll survive."

This was also the only way the guard squad leader could think of to escape.

He just took a look through the telescope and found that there was not only the hundred or so people behind him, but also smoke and dust rising behind them, and there were many people chasing after him.

It was just too far away, so he couldn't see the number clearly, but it was definitely not small.

He knew that they were the enemy's reinforcements, and he was afraid that he would really die here today.

"There is a hill in front of the squad leader."

A guard shouted.

The captain of the guards looked up and saw a small hill beside the road, which was actually only a small hill of several dozen meters high.

It's just a little steep.

The guard squad leader looked back and saw that the pursuers were very close and it would only take a moment for them to catch up.

So I made up my mind,

"Get to the foot of that hill and prepare for defense. We can't escape."

Fortunately, the other party did not shoot arrows at this distance.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the foot of the hill. The guards dismounted from their horses and prepared for battle. Wang Hongfu fell down.

He felt like his whole body was falling apart and he was in pain all over.

The pursuers appeared in a flash and surrounded them on three sides.

"Run! Why don't you run? We've been chasing you for so long, and you've killed many of our people.

I advise you to give up resistance and go back with us honestly. At least you won’t die now.”

A man who looked like the leader rode forward and looked at Wang Hongfu and others with a smug smile.

"How dare you! We are the special envoys sent by Prince Ji's Mansion. How dare you touch us? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The guard squad leader yelled.

"A special envoy from Prince Ji's palace?"

"Aren't they our own people?"

"Yeah, we've been chasing our own people for so long."

This loud roar immediately caused the crowd to become agitated. These people were ordinary guards recruited by Wang Wencheng in the name of Prince Ji's Mansion.

No matter what they did, they thought it was Prince Ji's Mansion that asked them to do it.

In this society, it is not strange at all for a prince to exploit and oppress the people.

It was common for princes to use corvée labor on a large scale to build palaces and pavilions for themselves in their fiefdoms.

The guards didn't think there was anything wrong.

But the person they were chasing just now turned out to be someone from Prince Ji's Mansion, the same as them, which surprised them very much.

"That's right, I am the chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion. If you kill us, His Highness Prince Ji will never let you go.

You should be very clear about the power of Prince Ji's Mansion.

By then, not only you but also your family members will be implicated."

Seeing this, Wang Hongfu shouted loudly while enduring the pain all over his body.

"The chief treasurer of Prince Ji's mansion?"

“It looks quite similar.”

"It seems to be a misunderstanding."

This caused another commotion.

The chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion is a person of a higher rank than their treasurer Wang.

At this moment, none of them who were clamoring just now dared to act rashly.

The leader frowned when he saw this, because Zhang Biao didn't tell him that the people he was chasing were from Prince Ji's mansion.

"Boom, boom,"

There was a roar behind him, and more than a hundred pursuers arrived.

The leader was Zhang Biao.

"The leader is coming, get out of the way, get out of the way."

Everyone made way for Zhang Biao, who rode in on horseback. After seeing Wang Hongfu and the others, he asked with some displeasure.

"Why don't you take action?"

"Reporting to the leader, they said they were from Prince Ji's Mansion, and that person also said he was the chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion."

A small leader nearby came forward to report.

"Asshole, if they say it is, it is it?"

Zhang Biao scolded with a gloomy look on his face.

"I have the token of King Ji."

Wang Hongfu said this and took out a golden token.

Everyone believed it more after seeing the token.

Zhang Biao, however, had a serious expression on his face.

"Bring it here for me to see. If it is really the Ji Wangfu token, then it means we are one of them. This was just a misunderstanding."

"How dare you! How can the Ji Wang token be taken over by someone of your status? Let your master Wang Wencheng come here in person."

Wang Hongfu is not stupid. If he gives him the token, what will he do if he doesn't give it to himself later?

"Haha, if you don't dare to let me see the token, it means you are lying and trying to deceive me.

Come on, take them all down for me."

Zhang Biao sneered.

Anyway, whether he is given the money or not, these people will die today, otherwise he will die.

"Wait a minute."

When Wang Hongfu saw someone trying to step forward, he immediately shouted.

More than two hundred people surrounded the ten or so of them, and they looked so small.

"You all want it, Wang Wencheng betrayed Prince Ji's Mansion and deceived you.

Are you prepared to die with him, or do you want to make amends?

We came here to capture Wang Wencheng. If we die here.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji will definitely come here in person. When the army arrives, will you still have a chance to survive?"

Although Wang Hongfu was a little scared when facing hundreds of people, he still did not lose out in momentum.

He waved the token in front of everyone, full of momentum.
