Chapter 273: Never retreat
The soldiers of the Tiance Army looked up at the man with a knife at the end of the stairs, thinking that this was also a Yulin Army, and then rushed upstairs with his sword.
On the narrow stairs, the Tiance army soldiers waved their swords from bottom to top and flipped towards Chen Ji's knees.
Chen Ji lifted the sword and tweaked it lightly, twirling the blade of the Tiance Army soldiers. The Tiance Army soldiers' eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand seemed to be sucked, and he turned around and chopped it on his left arm.
He looked up in shock, but he didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
The soldiers of the Tiance Army pulled out the Pu Dao from their left arm, roared with a flushed face, and waved the knife to slash at Chen Ji again. But this time, he had just raised his hand, and the whale knife that was five feet long in Chen Ji's hand had pierced through his neck like a spear.
The whale knife slowly retracted, and blood splashed out from the neck of the Tiance Army soldier, flowing down the wooden stairs, and the corpse rolled down.
Chen Ji stood at the end of the stairs with a whale knife, without saying a word.
The next moment, the soldiers of the Tiance Army rushed upstairs again without fear of death.
Because the stairs were too narrow, only one person could fight, two Tiance army soldiers jumped gently, one on the left and the other on the right, and attacked Chenji like walking on tightropes.
The wooden handrails on the stairs were only the width of a palm, but they walked steadily, as if they were walking on flat ground.
There is one person on the stairs, two people on the handrail, and three people are like a sharp arrow.
When he came to Chen Ji, the soldier on the left handrail jumped several feet high and slashed down with one knife; the soldier on the right handrail flew forward and slashed at Chen Ji's chest and abdomen; the soldier on the stairs slashed horizontally, and slashed down at Chen Ji's ankle.
The murderous intent is revealed!
As long as Chen Ji retreated to the stairs, whether their attack was successful or not, their colleagues behind him would come to fight, and Chen Ji could no longer block the narrow stairs.
But in this moment, Chen Ji raised his foot and stepped on the horizontal knife that was being pulled by the lower plate, and couldn't move. The soldier on the stairs could not pull out the knife and subconsciously looked up, but Chen Ji didn't even look at him, and had already waved the whale knife to slash him horizontally.
But when he heard two crisp sounds, the two armored soldiers who rushed from the handrail of the stairs broke the knife in their hands. Chen Ji's sword was not extinguished, so he forced the blade to slash back with his arm strength, and slashed the two armored soldiers in mid-air.
Chen Ji relaxed his feet, and the soldier who was trying hard to draw his sword was caught off guard and leaned backwards, rolling and falling down.
With two thuds, the corpse of the soldier who was flying over fell, and blood splashed out from his body and flowed along the stairs.
Chen Ji waved his knife to smash the handrail of the stairs, and the narrow stairs suddenly looked like a hanging single-plank bridge.
In the main hall, the armored soldier, who was like an iron tower, was wiping the heavy sword in his hand and silently looked up the stairs. He saw the long whale knife dripping blood in Chen Ji's hand, and he did not retreat.
"There is a tough guy in the playboy army?" The tower-like soldier looked at it and then lowered his head to wipe the heavy sword again, and said carelessly: "Those who kill this person will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and those who capture the prince of Ning Chao will be granted a marquis!"
The soldiers of the Tiance Army looked at each other, then rushed up like crazy, trying to fill in the dead.
...
...
In the floor room, Zhang Xia and Xiaoman opened the crack in the window and looked out, and saw Zaozao stepping on the horse's hooves restlessly in the stable.
Someone wanted to kill it, but it untied the reins itself, kicked two Tiance soldiers and ran out, running without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Downstairs, the dark army soldiers of Tiance were rushing into the inn.
Zhang Xia turned his eyes to the distance, trying to search for a glimmer of life, but the cavalry of the Tiance Army rushed around the city, and the lives of the border troops and the people were harvested by the Tiance Army like grass, and the traces of reinforcements were still not seen in the city.
Chen Liqin paced around the room, and he looked at Zhang Xia: "Miss Zhang Er, do you think Chen Ji can block those Jing Chao thieves?"
Zhang Xia looked out the window and said without looking back: "I can't stop it."
Chen Wenxiao was trembling: "He is an official, how can he not stop him!"
Zhang Xia said coldly: "The Tiance Army who can come to assassinate the prince must also have officials, at least innate realm... Even if there is no official in the Tiance Army, even the great master of the Shendao Realm cannot stop thousands of troops. You don't care about his safety, but only care whether he can shelter you from the wind and rain? What have you done long ago?"
Time passed by little by little, and everyone in the room lived like a year.
Chen Liqin struggled for a long time, and finally rolled up the bed sheet and threw it over the beam of the room, tied a dead knot.
He hesitated for a few breaths, then looked at Liang: "If Jing rushed in to the thief later, you and I will..."
Liang said quietly, "Master, is there no other way? Why is this? Why is this?"
Chen Liqin was silent for a moment: "When the city was broken, it was a blessing to be able to die with dignity."
Liang cried and said, "Mr. Zhang advised you not to come to Guyuan before, but you refused to listen. What should I do now?"
Chen Wenxiao said to Chen Liqin tremblingly: "Father, they want to capture the prince alive and didn't want to kill anyone. You might as well show your identity. They will definitely not kill us..."
Chen Wenzong was furious and said, "Life can be lost, and it will never be broken. How could you have the idea of surrendering Jing Chao? When did my Chen family have such a disloyal and unfilial bastard who is ungrateful and shameless!"
Chen Wenxiao also blushed and retorted: "It's better to live than to die. Brother, you and your father have been studying poetry and books hard for decades. Are you willing to be slaughtered in this side like a beast?"
Chen Wenzong said angrily: "Before the thief of Jing Chao came in, you were so panicked?"
Chen Wenxiao said anxiously: "How can Chen Ji alone stop so many Tiance Army soldiers downstairs? It's a matter of time before they kill..."
Zhang Xia stood by the window and said without looking back: "Don't panic. Today, if Chen Ji stopped the Tiance army, we would be able to survive. If he couldn't stop it, at worst we would die together."
...
...
At this time, the Tianzi room was carefully guarding the prince.
The prince woke up slowly and sat up suddenly as he heard the sound of fighting outside the door: "Mr. Liao! Protect the car!"
Qi Zhenjue was startled and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Mr. Liao is going to invite reinforcements."
The prince came to his senses and turned around and looked around: "Aren't I knocked out by Chen Ji? Why are I still in the inn? The Tiance Army has already fought downstairs?"
Qi Jingju's face looked ugly: "Your Highness, the inn is surrounded. Jing Chaotiance's army came out of the inn's secret passage and blocked the stairs. Now Chen Ji is guarding the stairs and fighting with them. Let's..."
The prince stood up and stood by the window staring at the setting sun in the distance.
He saw the Yulin Army rushing to Xuwei Lane and strangling with the Tiance Army. However, although there were a group of officials in the Yulin Army, they were still killed by the Tiance Army and retreated step by step.
Fortunately, Li Xuan was taken care of, so he was not killed by the Tiance army as soon as possible.
The prince sighed: "The Yulin Army is pampered and has a weak place in the capital. There are obviously several people like Chen Ji, who are innate realms, but there are worlds of difference."
The one behind him was ashamed and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Yulin Army has not been able to protect you, so don't quit if you are humble."
The prince turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Do not blame yourself for your own fault. I think it's because I have a poor life and cannot bear the great fortune of the country. I'm sorry to pour me a cup of tea, I'm going to take medicine."
As he said that, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a black pill.
Qi Zhenjue stood there on the spot: "Your Highness is..."
The prince sighed: "Now that the thief of Jing Chao has received news and wants to capture me alive, I can't be caught by them like a pig or a dog, right? Then I have become a joke for the ages, and it has also implicated me, Ning Chao, and I have lost all my face. As the national crown prince, how can I do this?"
He hesitated for a moment: "If you didn't send Mr. Liao to invite reinforcements, maybe..."
The prince shook his head: "How many ifs are there?"
He carefully said solemnly: "The prince must not seek short-sighted views. He must protect you in a humble position."
The prince laughed: "Deputy Envoy Qi, if you can really go back alive, you have to change this bragging problem. Although you have the protection of Qi's family, a real man is born in the world. Does Deputy Envoy Qi want to make a career by himself?"
Qi Jingjing bowed his head ashamed and said, "Your Highness, is my brother-in-law true? Isn't it really useless to be humble?"
The prince looked out the window and said, "Although you are under the shade of the Qi family, you have grown into a grass; although Chen Ji is just a concubine of the Chen family, you have grown into a tree."
All thought about it and remained silent for a moment: "Your Highness, it would be a little too late to wake up before his death?"
The prince patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay to die in the morning and evening, it's never too late."
However, at this moment, he suddenly looked up: "No, Your Highness, it's said that only Chen Ji was blocking the stairs. The Tiance army should have come to kill him long ago. But the shouts of killing have not stopped yet, and there has not been a single thief on the third floor to kill him. Could it be that there is a hidden master in this inn to defend the attack of the thief on the Jing Chao?"
The prince's expression moved and immediately walked out of the house: "Go and take a look!"
He quickly went downstairs to check.
But the next moment, the prince and Qi Jingju stood on the stairs together.
Chen Ji waved his sword like rain, preventing the light of the Tiance Army soldiers from splashing water. The bodies were everywhere on the stairs, and blood dripped down from both sides of the stairs like water curtains.
The Tiance army shouted and killed the sky.
