Chapter 159 Shoot Them
Chapter 159 Shoot Them
Everyone at the table couldn't help but shudder, but they all tried hard to force a smile.
"Your Excellency is extremely smart. Luo Xi, that woman, is naturally no match for you. She deserves to die."
"Yes, I believe that before long, you will be promoted to a higher position and make further progress."
The flattery was loud and clear.
Du Hong was so pleased with the compliment that he received, that the frustration he had felt for days instantly disappeared.
"Don't worry, you will benefit from it."
"Thank you for your support, sir." Several officials stood up hurriedly and bowed to Du Hong.
The smiles in their eyes were more sincere.
"From now on, we will follow your lead."
Du Hongzhi was very proud: "Hahaha, good..."
But before he could even finish his word "OK" he was knocked to the ground by a box that fell from the sky.
The other officials were stunned for a moment, their mouths wide open, unable to react for a long time.
What's going on?
"squeak"
A few inhuman noises told them the answer.
"This, this...a rat!" Someone shouted in fear.
"what--"
The entire lobby was instantly in chaos.
The officials who had just been praising each other were now pushing and shoving each other, fearing that they would be a step slower and be bitten by these disgusting little creatures.
As they had just done something bad, they were most aware of the harm these rats could cause, and they didn't want to die with festering all over their bodies.
No one cared about Du Hong, whose lower body was crushed by the box. Rats were crawling all over his body, and even his shiny official robes could not be seen.
By the time the experts outside rushed in, killed the rat and helped him up, there was no good piece of meat left on Du Hong's body, and even half of his ears had been bitten off.
Several people looked at each other, and the leader of the guards swallowed hard: "Sir, are you okay?"
Du Hong was shaking with pain all over his body: "Who? Who is it? I want to kill him?"
"It's not clear yet, but I've already sent someone to chase him." The leader carefully helped Du Hong avoid the rats on the ground, took him to the yard, and found a place to sit down.
The main problem was that Du Hong's legs were not only injured by falling, but also bitten by rats, so he couldn't even stand steadily.
"Useless, all of you are useless! I spent so much money to hire you, and this is how you do things?" He just sat down and asked loudly with a distorted face.
"The rats can't be stopped, and the assassins have also escaped?"
The leader was very upset, but he dared not say a word.
The man who came was agile and had many helpers. He just threw a box from a distance, and the box was infused with strong internal energy. The speed was astonishingly fast, so there was no way they could stop him.
At this time, other officials also escaped from the main hall one after another. They were not as miserable as Du Hong, but they were also bitten several times.
"Sir, could it be Luo Xi?" Changshi said carefully.
"That's impossible." Du Hong denied it without even thinking: "She must have contracted the plague and is lying in bed half-dead. How could she be here?"
Changshi: "..."
He always felt that this method was clearly a tit-for-tat.
But looking at Du Hong's distorted and terrifying face, he swallowed his words back.
Du Hong struggled to get up and held the arm of the guard leader: "You, take me over quickly, I must catch this damn assassin myself and skin him alive."
Clearly, he had lost his mind.
There was a hint of disdain in the leader's eyes, but he carefully concealed it: "Yes, sir."
However, after taking just two steps with the help of the other person, Du Hong fell to the ground with a thud.
"Sir?" The leader was startled.
Is he dead?
With great concern, he stretched out his finger and placed it under Du Hong's bloody nose.
Fortunately, fortunately, I am still breathing.
"You, you, come quickly and carry the master to the bedroom."
After the leader gave the order, he quickly led his men to chase in the direction the assassin fled.
He must capture the assassin before Du Hong wakes up, otherwise, he might be in trouble.
Over there, the assassin Jiuxian was also in a bad situation.
Although they escaped from the county magistrate's mansion, their way was blocked at the city gate. Attacked from both sides, they were immediately caught in a tough battle.
"OP, what should we do? There are too many people, we can't kill them all." Qinglong waved the weapon in his hand numbly, his eyes red with killing intent.
The same was true for the other killers, except that their martial arts were not as good as Qinglong's, and they were all injured. However, even so, they never stopped moving, chopping one after another, as if they didn't know what pain was.
Jiuxian's side was relatively relaxed. He pushed out a fierce palm wind, and the densely packed soldiers on the opposite side fell down.
"Think of a way to break out." He said expressionlessly.
"Don't dream." At this time, the leader of the guards had already rushed over: "Jiuxian, it turned out to be you."
Jiuxian also recognized this man.
The eternal runner-up in the killer world!
"Hmph, you're a defeated general!" he said with contempt.
This is really like enemies meeting each other, and they are extremely jealous of each other.
Both of them are in the world of assassins, but Jiuxian is better than the leader in every way. Otherwise, he would not be forced to be employed by Du Hong and be ordered around by him.
"You are looking for death!" The leader was so angry that smoke came out of his head: "Everyone listen up, archers, get ready, shoot them to death."
Since he had so many people on his side, only a fool would challenge them in close combat.
The gate officer was startled: "Sir, we have people over there."
The leader looked over with cold eyes: "If the assassin escapes, will you be responsible?"
"This, this..." The city gate officer avoided looking around and dared not say a word.
Suddenly, endless bows and arrows were set up on the city wall, all aimed at the people who were still fighting below.
"This bastard is simply crazy." Qinglong, who was fighting, caught a glimpse of this scene and felt disappointed.
It's over! They can't go back!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a rain of arrows carrying sparks came towards him, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day.
"Damn it!" Qinglong couldn't help but curse, and quickly picked up a weapon on the ground, ready to fight and block at the same time.
Other killers followed suit.
Jiuxian frowned, took two steps forward, and automatically stood in front of everyone.
But at this time...
There was a loud "bang" behind me.
The city gate flew backwards, crushing all the soldiers along the way, and an escape route suddenly appeared in front of them.
Qinglong opened his mouth wider than an egg and even forgot about the rain of arrows in front of him.
What is going on here?
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?" Luo Xi blocked all the arrows with a shield: "Run quickly."
"Very timely." Jiuxian's deep eyes were filled with smile, and he was the first to rush out of the city gate.
The others also reacted and used their lightness skills to jump out.
By the time the leader realized something was wrong, the man had already run a long way away.
His face suddenly turned dark blue: "Why are you still standing there? Get on your horse and chase after him."
"If the thieves escape, I will skin you alive."
Suddenly, a chill ran up everyone's spine. They quickly jumped onto their horses and chased after him desperately.
