PFC Chapter 147 What kind of play is this?
Chapter 147 What kind of play is this?
Zhong Ning smiled coldly. She had given you the chance, but you just didn't want it.
She made a gesture and said coldly, "Kill!"
Fifty imperial guards immediately rode their horses into the ranks of the men in black and started chopping them down.
Not to mention that cavalry already has an advantage over infantry, and after the exhausting battle with Zhong Ning and others just now, the men in black were also exhausted. Facing the imperial guards who were ready to attack, they only had less than 40% of their full strength left.
What's more, this group of imperial guards were specially trained in the palace.
Facing this makeshift team of bandits and soldiers was like a great wizard meeting a small wizard, and this group of people could only be abused.
When Chen Yan saw this scene, his expression became even more stern.
He never imagined that his carefully planned plan of being a hero and saving the beauty would be ruined like this!
He looked at the cold girl in the black crowd who showed no mercy when killing people.
For the first time, I realized that I seemed to have underestimated my opponent.
I originally thought that she was just a little girl who had never seen the world and was easy to control, but I didn't expect that she was actually a rose with thorns.
I’m afraid this group of men in black can’t be saved.
In order not to reveal his identity, Chen Yan did not care about anything else and directly rushed into the team with his men.
When Zhong Ning saw this scene, he was speechless.
I didn't see you take action just now, but now you take action when you see they are about to wipe out this group of people. If it wasn't you who arranged this, she would dare to eat shit live.
The suppression of numbers reversed, and soon half of the remaining men in black were killed. Only a dozen men in black were left, holding swords and standing in fear in the encirclement.
Zhong Ning pointed his sword at the leader of the men in black: "You only have a few dozen of us left. As long as I give the order, you will be wiped out. If you don't surrender, you will die!"
"I will give you one last chance. Lay down your weapons and surrender. I will not kill you!"
At this moment, all the men in black seemed to be moved when they heard this.
Too many of their people have died.
"Brother, let's surrender!" One of the younger men in black asked tremblingly!
"Yes, brother, I miss my mother and I don't want to die." Another man in black begged.
The black-clad leader tightened his grip on the knife. He only had a few brothers left. The man had clearly said that they were just pretending to rob and there would not be much harm.
But now, they have reached the point where almost all of their troops have been annihilated.
He didn't know who the woman in front of him was, or why that person was plotting against her, but he knew that the fact that she could mobilize so many guards to rescue her showed that her status was not low.
"What guarantees can you make? You killed all of us brothers..." the black-clothed leader asked loudly.
Zhong Ning sheathed her sword and shouted to the crowd, "I was personally conferred the title of Princess Zhaohua by the current emperor. My words are not meant to be jokes. I promise to protect your lives, and I will definitely do so. Now, listen to my orders and lay down your weapons!"
Three or five of the men in black slowly put down their weapons, but were then shot dead on the spot by a sudden volley of arrows.
It was the guards behind Chen Yan, holding bows and arrows, ready to fire.
Suddenly, a strange vision appeared. The remaining men in black immediately had bloodshot eyes and glared at each other, as if asking, "Didn't you say you would lay down your weapons and surrender without killing us?" Why did they still die?
Zhong Ning was so angry that he summoned his palm wind internal force and knocked Chen Yan off his horse with a palm strike. "You bastard, who told you to shoot the arrow?"
Chen Yan was stunned by the sudden attack. He covered his right cheek with a look of astonishment and was about to explain himself.
Then he saw Zhong Ning using his internal force to blow away all the guards who were shooting arrows with bows.
"The rest, all of you, get down here!"
Several guards looked at Chen Yan, looked at Zhong Ning, and then looked at the imperial guards who were pointing bows and arrows at them. Without caring about anything else, they all got off their horses to receive training.
Chen Yan was about to open his mouth to accuse Zhong Ning of exceeding his authority, but he heard Zhong Ning speak again, "Guardians, listen up! I suspect that Chen Yan, the son of Duke Fuguo, intends to kill and destroy evidence. I order you to prepare ropes, restrain all of these people, and send them to the Kyoto government office."
Finally, she said to the men in black, "As long as you tell the truth about the real culprit, I guarantee that you and your families will be safe."
Half of the imperial guards dismounted and surrounded the group.
The other half sat on horses, holding bows and arrows high, and anyone who disobeyed would be killed immediately.
Upon seeing this, the leader in black knelt down and said, "Princess, spare our lives. We are just ordinary bandits. We have been..."
Another sharp arrow came at him, but it was Chen Yan who shot the arrow himself, shouting as he shot, "Your Highness, get out of the way! He wants to die with you!"
Zhong Ning grabbed the man in black and suddenly turned to the side, barely avoiding the attack.
The second arrow followed closely!
"Stop, or you will be the next to die!" Jing Wuchang, deputy commander of the imperial guards, had already drawn his bow and arrow, heading towards Chen Yan.
Chen Yan paused for a moment, then reluctantly put down his bow and arrow, explaining to himself, "Your Highness, I have no ill intentions. He really did want to kill you just now!"
"Chen Yan, the son of Duke Fuguo, is attempting to assassinate me. Capture him!"
Zhong Ning gave the order in a cold voice, then pulled out the arrow stuck in the ground and threw it directly towards Chen Yan.
The arrow tip, carrying internal force, directly pierced Chen Yan's right arm.
His guards had been tied up at this time, and rushed forward with their hands behind their backs, surrounding Chen Yan in the center.
This is the instinct to protect their master, and it is also the basis for them to want to save their lives in the future.
Jing Wuchang shot arrows himself, aiming specifically at their thighs. With one arrow, blood gushed out and the guards in front of Chen Yan fell down one after another.
Chen Yan was also pinned to the ground and tied up tightly by the imperial guards who swarmed over him.
The black-clad leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Zhong Ning with hatred and awe. "My brothers and I are originally from Xiaohe Village, located in the western ravine outside Xiyan City. This year, the weather is dry and the crop yields have decreased. In order to make a living, we often resort to robbing merchants."
"Someone from Kyoto came to our door and asked us to come here to rob a girl and put on a show. After the job is done, there will be a large reward."
"Acting? What kind of act? You severely injured my people and trapped me here, and you actually told me it was a show?"
"It's true... We didn't know you were a princess. We only heard they wanted to capture a little girl, and at most, they killed all her guards, leaving you alone."
"When Master Chen comes to rescue us, we'll just release you. We just thought this was a game for the rich, but we never thought it would develop into what it is now!"
The leader in black cried and wailed.
He just received five thousand taels of silver to perform a play, how did it turn out like this?
