Although King Qi Residence's men were strong and well-trained, these soldiers were suited for charging and killing on the battlefield. Moreover, these soldiers, who were used to charging on the battlefield, were inferior to Scarlet Wolf's assassins in front of Mordor.
Scarlet Wolf's assassins attacked in a sinister and swift manner. Thus, when facing Mordor, they could dodge if they couldn't win. But King Qi Residence's personal guards were different. They were skilled in head-on clashes, skilled in battles where the brave would emerge victorious.
And yet, Mordor was the most skilled in head-on clashes.
King Qi Residence's personal guards clashed head-on with Mordor, one hammer strike after another, killing them one by one. In just a few short moments, ten-some people had died to Mordor's hammer.
The assault of King Qi Residence's personal guards was completely scattered. In addition, when Zhang Jingping's rangers saw how ferocious Mordor was, they were even more unwilling to let Mordor monopolize the limelight.
Because every one of them was a reward, they became even more frenzied as they charged forward.
Under this vicious assault, King Qi Residence's personal guards and Scarlet Wolf were constantly routed.
They could no longer hold on.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Wang Li also realized that the situation was not right. If they continued to fight, they would all die here. None of them would be able to escape. Wang Li decisively gave the order to retreat.
The few remaining Scarlet Wolves turned and fled.
King Qi Residence's personal guards were also unable to hold on. After all, anyone would be afraid of a god of slaughter like Mordor.
The group continued to flee.
Du Qi coldly smiled as he looked at the people who had already begun to retreat. It was already too late to think of retreating. Du Qi stood in the rear and ordered, "Blow the horn. Have the rest of the people come out and cut off their retreat."
Bwooo! Bwooo!
Liu Jian blew the horn at Du Qi's side.
Although the horn was not particularly loud and did not have the vigor of a battlefield, it was extremely clear. As the horn rang out, another group of people charged out from the other side of the western alley.
It was another twenty rangers under Zhang Jingping's command.
These people had been rubbing their palms together for a long time.
He could not wait any longer.
Especially when this group of people saw their brothers killing enemies and earning money, their hearts itched and they wished they could go up themselves. Now that they had finally killed their way out, their expressions were savage and incomparably excited as they quickly charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, the twenty-odd people ran into the retreating Wang Li's group.
"Kill! Don't let a single one escape!"
Someone among the Rangers shouted. Following this loud shout, the rest of the Rangers began to shout as well.
Their eyes lit up as they quickly made their moves.
Clanging sounds of metal weapons clashing against each other, as well as battle cries and screams. Wang Li and the bodyguards of the Qi Manor were all under control. They had no way out.
In the blink of an eye, Mordor led his men over.
Attacking from both sides, everyone attacked together.
The remaining soldiers of King Qi Residence and the Scarlet Wolf Assassins of the Wang Clan were simply incapable of stopping the slaughter. If it wasn't for Du Qi watching from afar and shouting to leave two alive, none of them would have been left alive. All of them would have been killed.
Of the two remaining people, one was Scarlet Wolf's assassin and the other was Qi King's personal guard.
Du Qi knew the other party's identity.
He had to leave behind a witness to prove who killed him. As for the remaining two people, Du Qi ordered people to detain them. At this time, there was a burst of hurried footsteps on the street. It was the Chang 'an county magistrate, Du Chuke, who had brought a group of yamen runners over.
Du Chuke was the first to ask, "Erlang, how are you?"
Du Qi said, "Uncle, I'm fine. Now, there are two survivors here. Uncle, you can interrogate them. "
Du Chuke waved his hand, and the yamen runners stepped forward to detain the two. Then, Du Chuke picked up the weapons on the ground and examined them. The weapons of King Qi Residence's bodyguards were all horizontal sabers with the insignia of King Qi Residence on them.
On the other hand, the Wang Clan's Scarlet Wolf Assassins did not reveal any flaws. It was impossible to determine their identities through their weapons.
Du Qi asked, "Uncle, do you need my men to assist in the investigation?"
"No need!"
Du Chuke shook his head and replied, "You just need to do your own thing. I will take care of the arrest of Wang Zongzhou and the impeachment of King Qi Li Yuanji. "
Du Qi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle."
"It's no trouble at all!"
Du Chuke shook his head and directly said.
To Du Chuke, the matter of the arraignment was extremely simple. In particular, there were many experts in the Chang 'an County yamen who were willing to do anything. Interrogating people was not difficult at all.
Du Chuke called out and left with his men.
Du Qi had his men clean up the streets of the western alley, taking care of all the corpses and the blood on the ground. Only then did he leave for the restaurant.
At the same time, the news spread.
The news first reached King Qi Residence. After all, Li Yuanji was the Wang Clan's relative. Even though the Wang Clan had the Eastern Palace's channels of information, it was still somewhat slow.
Li Yuanji sat in his study and listened to the report. He frowned and said, "Is there any evidence left at the scene? In short, no evidence of our King Qi Residence plotting against Du Qi can be found. "
After a pause, Li Yuanji said, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have agreed to Wang Zongzhou's invitation. If we agree to his invitation, we will be dragged into the water. I'm afraid that we will be punished again. "
The attendant said, "Your Highness, King Qi Residence's weapons were found at the scene. All of the personal guards' weapons belong to King Qi Residence and are inscribed with King Qi Residence's seal. "
"Bastard!"
Li Yuanji was enraged when he heard this.
He had not expected such a thing to happen.
Li Yuanji clenched his teeth and said, "What is going on? How did Zhao Shen arrange this? Why would he use King Qi Residence's weapons to assassinate Du Qi? "
The attendant shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Li Yuanji said, "Call Zhao Shen over."
The attendant immediately went to inform Zhao Shen. After all, Zhao Shen was the steward of King Qi Residence and was in charge of everything.
After Zhao Shen entered, Li Yuanji said, "Zhao Shen, why did the people who went to assassinate Du Qi use King Qi Residence's weapons? My King Qi Residence's weapons, be it weapons, swords, or bows, all have the insignia of King Qi Residence. Now that these people have been defeated, won't King Qi Residence be exposed? "
Zhao Shen explained, "Replying to Your Highness, back then, we were just considering the truth and did not care about the weapons. Once His Majesty learns of this, we will say that someone is framing us and use this as an excuse to hide. "
Li Yuanji said, "Bastard!"
At this moment, Li Yuanji stood up and walked over to Zhao Shen. Then, he raised his leg and kicked out.
Zhao Shen fell to the ground but quickly knelt.
Clearly, he had admitted his mistake.
Li Yuanji harrumphed, "Bastard, you say that someone is framing us and trying to shirk responsibility. However, the other party is not stupid. They clearly could have made better arrangements and had everyone use other weapons. Yet, they chose to use King Qi Residence's weapons. You are truly foolish. "
Zhao Shen kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, this lowly one is guilty. Please punish me."
Li Yuanji viciously kicked Zhao Shen a few more times, venting the anger in his heart. Only then did he wave his hand and have Zhao Shen withdraw. Then, he began to think of a plan. After thinking for a while, he really could not think of a better plan. He could only say that someone was framing them.
This was the best plan.
