When Du Qi saw the incoming cavalry, he smiled and said, "Kill!"
He didn't want to waste time.
At this moment, Wang Jian glanced around and saw that there were less than a hundred cavalrymen on the other side. He sneered without the slightest bit of fear. Because there were more people and Wang Jian thought that he was strong, he gave the order to attack.
The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
In one exchange, cold blades fell and the cavalrymen under Wang Jian's command were killed one after another. On the other hand, the imperial cavalrymen who guarded the imperial city were not affected at all. They continued to advance with great lethality.
The Wang family's cavalrymen suffered countless casualties.
"Run!"
The group of bandits who were gathered by Wang Jian and were about to come back to kill Du Qi saw that Wang Jian was crushed and slaughtered. They didn't dare to stay and left like a swarm of bees.
Wang Jian saw that his cavalrymen were slaughtered and he was extremely satisfied. He rushed forward with a big spear. However, as soon as he charged out, Mordor also rushed out on his horse.
Mordor's warhorse was specially selected.
It could carry Mordor.
Mordor rushed out and arrived in front of Wang Jian in the blink of an eye. He swung the hammer in his hand and with a whistling sound, it arrived in front of Wang Jian in the blink of an eye. With a bang, Wang Jian's big spear was knocked away. The hammer continued to move forward and hit Wang Jian's chest.
Even though Wang Jian had leaned back to dodge, he was still hit by the hammer. The fierce and domineering force hit his body. Wang Jian fell to the ground and vomited blood. His face was extremely pale.
In fact, Wang Jian didn't even have the strength to get up.
Mordor immediately chased after him and swung the hammer again. The hammer hit Wang Jian's chest with a bang. In an instant, blood spurted out, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were completely smashed.
Wang Jian was completely dead.
After Mordor killed Wang Jian, he rode back and forth on his horse. He was invincible in both battles on horseback and on foot. Especially when Mordor was fighting on horseback, the iron hammer in his hand swung and smashed down. Wherever it passed through, men and horses would be thrown off their feet. No one was a match for him.
Liu Zhengxi stood beside Du Qi and watched as Mordor slaughtered people like he was chopping vegetables. He sighed, "Young Master, Mordor's martial arts are too powerful. Even on the battlefield, he is an existence that can kill generals and seize flags from tens of thousands of soldiers. "
Du Ruhui said, "Erlang, are you willing to let Mordor join the army?"
Du Qi said, "Father, I once asked Mordor about this matter. He was unwilling to enlist in the army, so he was willing to follow me. As long as Mordor is willing, I won't object. To me, Mordor is not only my guard, but also my friend. "
Du Ruhui nodded and said no more.
The battle at night did not last long. Many of the Wang family's cavalrymen had run away, and the imperial cavalrymen who went to chase after them all returned. None of them were killed, and all of them hid in the dark.
The entire night was filled with slaughter.
Du Qi and the others were able to rest only after the battle situation had been accounted for and everything had been handled properly. However, they did not rest for long. The sky was already bright. Du Qi did not care about what would happen to Linfen County. There were other officials in Linfen County who would report the situation.
After the news was reported, someone would make arrangements for Linfen County.
The group continued their journey to the north.
On the other hand, while Du Qi was heading north, the news of Gao Yazhi, the county magistrate of Linfen, and Wang Jian's death, as well as the news of the bandits besieging them all spread out.
In an instant, the entire Jin Province was shaken.
Countless officials were shocked.
Although Linfen County Magistrate Gao Yazhi was of a certain age, he was still considered a powerful person. However, he was still weak in front of Du Qi. He was easily defeated and killed.
Even though there were so many bandits, they didn't cause any harm to Du Qi's group. Instead, they were killed by Du Qi along the way. Almost all the bandits in the Jin Province were killed, and there weren't many left.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to make an enemy of Du Qi.
Along the way, the county magistrates of Jin Province were very careful. That was because the county magistrates of each county had more or less participated in driving the bandits away to deal with Du Qi.
However, unlike Gao Yazhi, they did not lead their troops to besiege Du Qi. Therefore, the battle in Linfen County served as a warning to the rest of the county magistrates. The county magistrates of the other counties all behaved themselves and did not dare to take action again.
The news quickly spread to the Wang family in Taiyuan Prefecture.
When Wang Zongxi heard the news in Jin Province, he was furious. He cursed the officials of Jin Province as trash and the bandits of Jin Province as even more trash. The officials of Jin Province raised the bandits so that they could do what the officials did not dare to do at critical times. However, in the end, the bandits were all killed.
Wang Zongxi arranged for people to call Wang Yu, Wang Qiao, and the others over. Everyone from each branch gathered together.
Wang Zongxi looked around and said, "Everyone, our plan to kill Du Qi's family has failed again. Now, the Du family is about to leave Jin Province and come to Taiyuan Prefecture. What do you think we should do next? "
Wang Yu said, "Patriarch, in my opinion, we should just do it in Taiyuan Prefecture. Our forces in Taiyuan Prefecture are stronger. We even have people in the most ordinary villages. We can use the local forces to kill Du Qi's family in Taiyuan Prefecture. "
Wang Zongxi said, "It's not that easy. After all, what happened in Jin Province is a good example. If they could kill Du Qi's family, Jin Province wouldn't have failed in such a big game. "
After a pause, Wang Zongxi said, "Use your brains and think about what we should do."
Wang Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Patriarch, let's not do anything for now. We'll ignore Du Qi for now and wait for Du Qi and his family to head north. Once they arrive in Daizhou, we'll deal with him. Du Qi's forces are very strong. It won't be easy to kill him. However, we're strong enough in the bureaucracy. "
This was a tactful way of admitting defeat.
It was also known as a strategic defense.
As soon as he said this, the other branches of the Wang family unanimously agreed. They all hurriedly echoed his words. After all, the Wang family had already gone all out, but it was still difficult to succeed. Therefore, they were unwilling to do anything else.
They might as well let Du Ruhui go. It wouldn't be too late to plan against him after he arrived. At that time, Du Ruhui would have a hard time in the bureaucracy. All their arrangements would be successful.
Wang Zongxi's expression was gloomy, but in the end, he nodded.
This was the only way.
There was no other way.
He waved his hand, and everyone withdrew. Wang Zongxi sat alone in the hall. His expression was incomparably ugly. This was because the Wang family had mobilized a lot of forces, but they still failed to kill Du Qi. It was a huge blow to Wang Zongxi.
However, as the patriarch, Wang Zongxi had to go on no matter how difficult it was. If he didn't take revenge, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the patriarch. Therefore, he had to hold on.
