"Hmph! Finally willing to reveal your true face? "
In the heavenly guest room of Tongfu Inn in Taiyuan City, Li Junxian showed no fear in the face of these menacing twenty to thirty men. On the contrary, he would have found it strange if this middle-aged man had no helpers. The more subordinates he had, the higher his status on Zhao Deyan's side. There was even a chance that he was Zhao Deyan himself!
The middle-aged man was now standing close to the door, and the twenty to thirty people who had broken in with their sabers and swords had automatically moved to the left and right of the middle-aged man. The two sides were now in a standoff. The middle-aged man looked at Li Junxian and said,
"Since Good Sir insists on pestering this Yu endlessly, don't blame this Yu for being impolite!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the guards beside him and said, "When going out to do business, it's inevitable to encounter some bandits. For the sake of safety, this Yu specially hired some guards. If Your Excellency is from the government, then please reveal your identity. If Your Excellency is here to make things difficult for this Yu, then these guards of mine won't show you any mercy!"
A hint of derision appeared on Li Junxian's face. "Reveal my identity? You still don't have the right to know who I am! In my view, you should stop pretending. If you didn't have firm evidence, I wouldn't have personally led my men here! Tell me, what is your true identity? Where is your leader, Zhao Deyan? "
"Zhao Deyan?"
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. He had clearly not expected Li Junxian to know his identity. After all, ever since he had infiltrated Taiyuan City, he had been operating in secret! Other than Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan, he had never revealed his identity to anyone else, so how did Li Junxian know his name?
He had no idea that the secret letter he had sent to the steppe this morning had already been intercepted by Han Lizheng and brought to Taiyuan City!
"What leader? This one doesn't know what you're talking about. Come, see the guests out! "
The middle-aged man was only a few moments stunned before he ordered his men.
"Please leave! My master does not welcome you! "
Two saber wielding soldiers stepped forward and sternly barked at Li Junxian's group.
"Hmph! Could you be Zhao Deyan? Very good! "
Li Junxian had noticed the expression on the middle-aged man's face, and he couldn't help but think of a possibility. Thus, he decisively ordered the hundred-some cavalry in the room, "Capture him!"
"Yes!"
The eight horsemen in the house answered loudly. Then, a series of clanging sounds could be heard. The horsemen drew their weapons and charged at the middle-aged man!
"Hmph! You are courting death! "
The leader of the guards beside the middle-aged man snorted coldly. He was not afraid at all and led a few people to greet them.
As the weapons clashed, the room was suddenly filled with the sound of "ding ding peng peng"!
In terms of numbers, Li Junxian's side had no advantage in a battle of eight against thirty, but the hundred-some cavalry were the most elite soldiers of the Great Tang, and each one of them was a top-notch expert. In terms of individual strength, the hundred-some cavalry had the advantage!
In addition, there was limited space in the room, and with so many people, it was very difficult to move freely. If this had been an open area outside the room, the middle-aged man's side would have been able to use their numbers to pincer him. But there was only so much space in the room, and the thirty-some of them had basically filled the room. And this was only because the middle-aged man was staying in the most expensive room of Tongfu Inn, the 'Heaven' room. Compared to the other rooms, this room was not only luxuriously decorated, but it was also large enough. If they had been staying in a shared room, it would have been a problem for them to even squeeze in!
Thus, even though they had the advantage in numbers, the middle-aged man's side had not been able to gain much of an advantage. On the contrary, after a few rounds, several of them had been stabbed in the vitals and dropped to the ground!
The middle-aged man stood motionless in the doorway, two guards on his left and right. Li Junxian also did not move. He was coldly watching the middle-aged man to prevent him from escaping. As for the battle, he was not very worried. Although the hundred-some cavalry were not strong enough to fight against ten or one hundred, he was confident that his men would be able to deal with an enemy three times their size!
Sure enough, after the two sides fought for more than ten rounds, the middle-aged man's side was already showing signs of defeat. There were more than ten people lying on the ground. The two guards beside the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Master … Master, we will escort you to retreat first!"
In his panic, this fellow had almost let his tongue slip.
Li Junxian's sharp ears had picked up on this small slip of the tongue in the chaos, and his eyes brightened. This middle-aged man really was a big fish, and there was a high chance that he was Zhao Deyan himself!
Thus, Li Junxian wasted no more time. As the saying went, 'to capture bandits, capture the leader first', he blinked up to the middle-aged man and sneered. "Hmph! You want to escape? You won't be able to escape tonight! "
As he spoke, Li Junxian reached out with his hand to grab the middle-aged man's shoulder.
The middle-aged man hastily backed away, but he was far slower than the Grandmaster Li Junxian. As Li Junxian's hand got closer and closer, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. At this moment, the two guards at his side attacked!
Two sabers slashed at Li Junxian's arm. If Li Junxian continued forward, he would have been able to grab the middle-aged man before the sabers fell, but once he did, he would not have the time to pull back his arm!
Although Li Junxian was a powerful martial artist, he was far from being invulnerable. How could a body of flesh and blood stand against sharp sabers? Thus, Li Junxian chose to retreat for now. At the same time, he unsheathed his sword and brazenly charged at the two guards at the middle-aged man's side!
Clangclang!
Saber and sword clashed. These two were only at the Qi Transformation realm, so how could they possibly contend against Li Junxian, who had already reached the Grandmaster realm? In just two or three moves, Li Junxian had found a small flaw in their saber techniques. Once the time was right, he cut their throats with a single slash!
While he was fighting with the two guards, the middle-aged man was hastily backing away. As the two guards fell, clutching their necks, the middle-aged man hastily turned around and ran out of the room!
Too powerful!
Li Junxian gave him the feeling that he was simply too powerful! Although Xuan Ye was also a Grandmaster, he was still lacking compared to Li Junxian. In just two or three moves, he had killed two Qi Transformation experts. Even if all the thirty-some people in the room had attacked together, they probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to Li Junxian!
"Hmph!"
Li Junxian sneered as he saw the middle-aged man fleeing faster than a rabbit. With a tap of his foot, the middle-aged man felt a gust of wind, and then he saw Li Junxian standing in front of him!
"You still want to run? I already said that you won't be going anywhere today! Obediently come back with me! "
Li Junxian indifferently said.
A hint of panic flitted across the middle-aged man's face. Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps outside the inn. A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's lips as he turned to look at the entrance and then said to Li Junxian, "Heh? Run? This god never said anything about running. No matter who you are, all of you will die here today! "
Li Junxian followed the middle-aged man's gaze and saw that fifty to sixty armed warriors had entered the entrance of the inn. Cough, cough, of course, not all of them were wielding weapons. If one looked carefully, one could see that ten-some of them were unarmed!
Chen Fu, who had been assigned by Li Junxian to guard the entrance of the inn, had been forced to retreat into the hall on the first floor of the inn by these fifty to sixty warriors. He was not a Grandmaster like Li Junxian, so it was only natural for him to feel uneasy in the face of so many people!
Shentu, who had been guarding the back gate, had hurried over when he heard the commotion at the front gate, but the two of them were still 'useless' against fifty to sixty people!
Li Junxian finally understood why the middle-aged man had suddenly become so confident. These fifty to sixty people and the thirty-some in the room made for a total of eighty to ninety people. But the Hundred-Horsemen only had ten people. This made the situation even more difficult to deal with!
But Li Junxian was not afraid. On the contrary, he was rather excited. The more people that came to the middle-aged man's rescue, the higher his status! At this moment, he was almost certain that this middle-aged man was Zhao Deyan!
"Heh! I didn't think that you would have so many subordinates. It seems like you're Zhao Deyan! "
Upon seeing the situation, Li Junxian showed no signs of nervousness. He looked at the middle-aged man and chuckled.
Seeing that the 'situation was settled', the middle-aged man no longer put on an 'act'. He neither admitted nor denied it, but asked.
"Just who are you? How did you know of this god's identity? "
Although the middle-aged man did not directly admit it, his words were basically a tacit admission that he was Zhao Deyan!
Li Junxian turned serious and indifferently said, "Remember, the one who captured you today is Li Junxian of the Great Tang's Hundred Cavalry! As for how this general knew of your identity, you will understand once you follow this general to the yamen! "
"Hundred Cavalry! Li Junxian! You're actually Li Junxian? "
Zhao Deyan was flabbergasted by Li Junxian's report of his identity. Not even with Kongming's wisdom could he have predicted that the Hundred Cavalry Commander of Chang 'an would suddenly appear in Taiyuan City!
In this case, it was no surprise that his identity had been exposed. After all, few people in the world could compare to the Hundred-Horsemen's ability to gather information!
"So that's how it is! No wonder Shopkeeper Sun suddenly disappeared! No wonder you were able to find this place! However, this god came to Taiyuan and managed to take down the Hundred Cavalry Commander of the Great Tang. That's not a loss! "
Zhao Deyan turned to Li Junxian and sneered.
"Hmph! Take down? Do you think that victory is already in your grasp? "
Li Junxian jeered, "Do you think they're faster, or this general is faster?"
As he spoke, Li Junxian vanished. A moment later, he appeared at Zhao Deyan's side, one hand clamping down on Zhao Deyan's shoulder while the other clamped down on Zhao Deyan's neck. The warriors in the hall had no time to react, only enough time to shout, "Brother Li, you're in the middle of nowhere!"
"Lord Guard!"
"Release Lord Guard!"
