Ch. 170 - The Opportunity to Kill at the Birthday Feast [Part 3]

Sun Shaozong was worried when he heard the assassin yelling, *”Shoot!” He quickly withdrew with the horse's body into the Dragon Guards' protection circle.

But…

As soon as he stepped back, dozens of Dragon Guards broke away, leaving only two or three kittens gritting their teeth beside him!

Damn!

These greedy fools!

Sun Shaozong was so angry that he almost swore. These birdies didn't think about it. Who could withstand the assassins' assault if he was poisoned by arrows and lost his capacity for combat?

If something were to happen to Prince Yizhong, who would live here?!

Hiss!

At this time, a sharp sound from the sky had suddenly arrived in the dark. Hearing the dense rain of arrows being shot, it seemed it was several times more than before!

How many assassins are there?

Besides, did they show mercy just now?!

He wondered, but Sun Shaozong's hand movement accelerated a bit, and the warm horse blood seemed to splash all over the street.

However, the expected rain of arrows did not arrive as scheduled!

"Hmm~"

"What's going on?!"

"Who is shooting arrows at random!"

Confused, the assassins on the opposite side screamed and roared.

It turned out that all the arrows fell on the heads of the assassins just now. As a result, ten people were shot, turning like hedgehogs on the spot, and almost everyone else was injured!

"Hahaha..."

A shrill laughter rippled over the long street, "I wanted to catch more people alive, but since someone called for an arrow, how could I not take advantage of it?"

The sound seemed to be…

Dai Quan?!

Is it Commander Dai?!

While Sun Shaozong was thinking, someone in the Dragon Guard behind him exclaimed in surprise, "I’m Liu Bangchang, a humble official guarding Prince Yizhong. Please help us quickly!"

Tch!

It was Liu Zhenfu's team from the Northern Dragon Guard!

He hid in the crowd just now, and Sun Shaozong didn't see it.

However, this Governor seemed to have deficiencies in his IQ.

Just because Dai Quan suddenly appeared here with his men and horses and quietly solved the assassins on both sides of the roof, it was not difficult to guess that he came prepared, and Liu Zhenfu was properly taken as bait!

If this was the case, then the person in the sedan chair should be a substitute…

Sun Shaozong subconsciously looked back and saw that the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a young man with a white face walked out as if he still had some beard, wig, and other odds and ends in his hands.

It really was a substitute!

In the twinkling of an eye, hundreds of torches have been lit on the roofs on both sides of the street, illuminating the whole long street, but also reflecting the end of the street and countless soldiers.

"Take everyone down!"

With the order of Dai Quan, who was hiding in the dark, the soldiers on both sides immediately put up their long guns and slowly circled them with firm steps.

It seemed that they didn’t require his help.

Sun Shaozong was relieved and was about to throw away the dead horse. At this time, he suddenly heard Liu Zhenfu roar with a face that seemed scary, "The Commander has an order, all the Dragon Guards will catch the rebels with me!"

After that shout, they come out of the crowd holding a single saber.

At this moment, he didn’t know how many of the Dragon Guards’ expressions changed as if their boss was being insane!

The assassins on the opposite side were seriously injured, but the Dragon Guards were also at the peak of their strength. Besides, there were already large armies on both sides. Was it indispensable to fight hard?

However, the Governor's envoys have personally led the charge. How could they retreat as subordinates?

Without any choice, the big guys had to ”greet” Liu Zhenfu's mother in their hearts and rushed forward!

Even Sun Shaozong was no exception. He still held an official post in the Northern Dragon Guard.

Fortunately, compared with others, assassins without poison arrows could only be considered moving humans and did not pose much of a threat.

So by the time the armies on both sides pressed the border, he had already added eight disabled people and three dead souls under his horse hammer!

In addition, with the participation of hundreds of soldiers and men, the chaos of the war quickly came to an end.

In a quarter of an hour, "Liu Bangchang [Sun Shaozong], greetings to the Commander!"

Liu Bangchang and Sun Shaozong saluted Dai Quan with one knee.

Dai Quan gave a warm hand and smiled, saying, "Shaozong, get up first. You have done well today. You didn't let me down."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the praise. It’s just that my position just fits the occasion."

Sun Shaozong straightened up and stepped aside at Dai Quan's signal.

He then saw Dai Quan's face darken and said with a sneer, "Liu Bangchang, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Liu Bangchang immediately kowtowed and bowed his head to the ground, saying, "I would never dare!"

"Don’t you really dare?"

"No, no, no, I definitely have no sense of resentment!"

Liu Bangchang put his buttocks half higher than his head, and said in a trembling voice, "I first neglected my supervisory duties, which led to the appearance of such wild rebels as Qian Ning and Jin Yichuan in the northern town Governor, and then inadvertently revealed the route of Prince Yizhong when returning to his residence..."

"If you had not been very observant and set up a strategy to lure the enemy, he would have been dead long ago! Therefore, in my mind, you were also like a parent to me. How could I hold any resentment?"

"Because of this, I’m willing to fight to the death, to repay your kindness!"

Just now, Sun Shaozong thought that Liu Zhenfu had some IQ deficiencies. Now, it seemed that he was not mentally retarded but rather clever!

"Fight to the death?"

Dai Quan snorted and said, "I'm afraid you want to dye your robe red with the blood of your servants, right?"

"Your Excellency, I dare not..."

"Don't talk to me here."

Dai Quan waved his hand like a fly and said, "Go back and tender your resignation, and I will protect your life in front of the Emperor!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

After Liu Bangchang stepped down with gratitude, Dai Quan turned his eyes to Sun Shaozong and said with a smile, "Shaozong, you are a smart man. How should you deal with this tonight? I don't need to tell you again, do I?"

"Don't worry, Commander."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly held hands and said, "I will keep my mouth shut and will never reveal anything to others!"

"Hahaha..."

Dai Quan laughed, stood up, walked to Sun Shaozong, and slowly extended his left hand.

Sun Shaozong understood and quickly kneeled to lower his shoulders.

Dai Quan patted him gently on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with me around, no one can take the credit from you! Besides, I am old now, and we will have to rely on young people like you to support the sign of the Dragon Guard in the future."
