"No, I'm useful."
Gao Yazhi was shouting hysterically just now, but now he was shouting again. He didn't want to die, so he shouted, "Du Qi, I'm willing to be used by you. I'm willing to listen to your orders."
Du Qi said, "What's the use of you listening to me? I'm not an official."
Gao Yazhi fell silent.
Seeing this, Du Qi knew that he couldn't get any secrets from Gao Yazhi. He deliberately said that Gao Yazhi was useless just now to force Gao Yazhi to give him any useful information, but there was none.
Under such circumstances, Gao Yazhi was useless.
Du Qi said, "Kill him!"
Mordor stepped forward and grabbed Gao Yazhi's neck, lifting him up easily. Exerting force, he broke Gao Yazhi's neck.
Liu Zhengxi said, "Young Master, Gao Yazhi is dead. Once this news spreads, especially since you killed Gao Yazhi, it will probably cause waves in the court. Especially now that the Crown Prince is in the court, I'm afraid he won't let this go. "
Du Qi said, "It's best if the Crown Prince makes a move. That's just asking for humiliation."
Liu Zhengxi was puzzled, "Why?"
Du Qi said, "First, I killed Gao Yazhi tonight, but I didn't kill everyone. So even if someone left to spread the news, to me, this can actually intimidate the county magistrates of the northern counties so that they won't dare to act rashly."
"Second, Gao Yazhi is a member of the Wang family. If the Crown Prince jumps out and stabs me in the back after killing Gao Yazhi, then he doesn't care about the big picture and is biased towards the aristocratic families. It will easily cause trouble."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Even if the first and second don't work, I still have a third point. His Majesty has authorized me to do as I wish in the northern lands, so there's no need to worry about this. With His Majesty's support, as long as there's no rebellion in the northern lands, even if I kill countless people, it won't affect me. Moreover, His Majesty knows about the enmity between me and the Wang family. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhengxi was completely convinced.
Du Qi's considerations were too thorough.
Back then, Wang Zongzhou's defeat wasn't unjust. Even now that the Wang Clan had made a move, it was normal for them to lose.
"Da! Tap!! "
Suddenly, under the pitch-black curtain of night, there was the sound of hurried horse hooves.
As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Yuan Qi shouted to be on alert.
All the soldiers surrounded Du Qi, Du Ruhui, and his family. They were on high alert. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, a group of cavalry had already appeared in their line of sight.
There were more than two hundred of them.
They were all cavalrymen.
The person in the lead was a middle-aged man who looked rather sturdy.
This man's name was Wang Jian. He was the son of the Wang family. When Wang Zongxi received the news that the bandits couldn't kill Du Qi, he arranged for someone to inform Gao Yazhi and let Gao Yazhi kill Du Qi.
At the same time, Wang Jian came with two hundred cavalrymen. This was to prevent any accidents and prevent Gao Yazhi from winning. Moreover, even if Gao Yazhi was defeated, there was still Wang Jian's cavalrymen. After Gao Yazhi weakened Du Qi's power, it would be easier for Wang Jian's cavalrymen to win.
Wang Jian and his cavalrymen approached and stopped about twenty steps away. He looked at Du Qi's group and shouted, "Which one of you is Du Qi? Come out and let me see."
Du Qi was protected by Mordor.
He was still under the protection of the group.
Hearing Wang Jian's words, Du Qi didn't have the slightest fear. He walked out with Mordor and said, "You're leading a cavalryman, so you should be from the Wang family."
Gao Yazhi was killed, so it should be the Wang family's turn.
If Gao Yazhi won, the Wang family's people wouldn't come out.
Wang Jian said, "You're very smart. I'm indeed from the Wang family. I'm Wang Jian, and under the orders of the family head, I'm leading two hundred cavalrymen to send you on your way. This time, you're definitely going to die. Especially now, the bandits who fled earlier have all returned. Du Qi, your family is definitely going to die. On this day next year, I'll burn a stick of incense on your grave. "
There were a few bandits around Wang Jian.
There were about two hundred of them.
They all ran away, encountered the Wang family's cavalrymen, and then all came back.
Du Qi's lips curled into a smile, and he still didn't panic at all. He said, "You're really confident. Or are all the people from the big families so arrogant and self-righteous?"
Wang Jian said, "Strength is the reason, so I'm confident. Du Qi, I'll give you a chance to escape. Take your men and retreat. I'll let you run for a while, and then I'll kill you. Whether you can escape this disaster or not, it'll depend on your luck. "
"Hahaha …"
When Du Qi heard this, he laughed out loud.
Wang Jian said, "What are you laughing at?"
Du Qi said in a low voice, "I'm laughing because you're so confident, why do you have to play tricks? You said you'd let me run for a while, but in fact, you're trying to attack my men's minds and destroy their will to resist. "
"Apart from that, your men are cavalrymen. They might not be able to win against my defensive formation."
"Once my men all scatter and run, they won't have any defensive power left. When that time comes, it'll be a one-sided crush if you want to kill them. Wang Jian, this kind of petty trick is too lousy. "
Du Qi said, "In front of this Young Master, these schemes are useless."
Wang Jian stroked the curly beard under his chin. "As expected of Du Qi, you saw through my scheme at a glance. Even if you don't run, you'll die for sure. It'll just be your men defending with all their might, and my cavalrymen wasting more time. In the end, you'll die for sure. Today, if you don't kill Du Qi, I won't retreat. "
Du Qi said, "Then, you'll be disappointed."
"Liu Jian, blow the horn!"
Du Qi ordered.
Hearing this, Liu Jian took out a horn from his sleeve and blew it. In the middle of the night, the sound of the horn was loud and clear, and it spread far and wide.
Wang Jian's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
What was going on?
Could it be that Du Qi still had some tricks up his sleeve?
The reason why Wang Jian waited until now to kill his way out was to let Du Qi use up all his tricks. In this way, his cavalrymen would definitely win if they killed their way out.
Now, it seemed that Du Qi didn't use his trump card. Du Qi still had people around.
"Clop! Clop!! "
Suddenly, the mighty sound of horse hooves sounded.
A cavalrymen holding torches appeared behind Du Qi. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the formation where Du Qi's group was. This cavalrymen were the imperial cavalrymen of the palace, guarding the imperial city. But Li Yuan gave Du Qi a hundred men.
Although there were only a hundred men, to be able to become soldiers guarding the imperial city, their fighting power was extremely strong. Each and every one of them was tall and sturdy, and each of them held a saber in their hands.
With a saber in hand, under the illumination of the red flames, each blade emitted a bone-chilling coldness.
