But Yang Zhong was still worried and insisted: "Let my brothers watch over the goods, I will go to help Brother Zhou alone. He is injured, I am afraid he can't hold on for long."

Shen Qingqian had no choice but to let him go.

"Okay, Brother Yang, then you better be careful."

"Okay, you should also be careful."

Yang Zhong agreed, then ran out of the inn quickly and headed straight for the city wall.

Shen Qingqian called Yingzi over and asked, "Yingzi, how many bows and arrows do we have now?"

Yingzi said, "We only have two bows and arrows, which we made when we first went to Beijing last year. We do have several crossbows, and Zhiqing Zhizhu and I both carry them!"

Shen Qingqian said: "Crossbows won't work. The distance is too far and the range is not enough. Go get both bows and arrows!"

Yingzi looked at the chaotic scene across from her and asked, "Miss, do you want to help?"

Shen Qingqian nodded: "Yes, the people fighting against the officers and soldiers are Zhou Qi's men. Bring the bows and arrows, come with me to help."

Yingzi was surprised for a moment, but soon recovered and said with a curled lip, "This Zhou Qi is so arrogant and conceited. He finally got into trouble, right? Humph! If he's in danger, we have to go and save him!"

Shen Qingqian felt that what Yingzi said made sense, but the person still had to be saved, so she urged: "Okay, go get it quickly, don't waste time."

"Come on, girl!"

Yingzi just complained a few words and didn't really care about anything with Zhou Qi. Seeing Shen Qingqian was anxious, she quickly agreed and turned away.

"Yingzi, take the bow and arrow and go directly to my room. By the way, call Zhiqing and Zhizhu over as well."

Shen Qingqian gave another instruction to her back.

"Yes, girl."

Yingzi didn't look back, but just waved mischievously.

Not long after Shen Qingqian returned to the room, Yingzi came over with Zhiqing Zhizhu holding a bow and arrow.

The educated youth asked, "Miss, is there anything you need us to do?"

Shen Qingqian asked them to sit around the table and explained her plan to them in detail.

Half a minute later, Shen Qingqian said, "Just do as I said. The four of us just have to do our respective duties. Remember?"

The three of them nodded at the same time and said, "Remember, girl."

Shen Qingqian and Yingzi each carried a bow and arrow, went around the back window, and jumped onto the roof.

Shen Qingqian made a gesture, Yingzi nodded in understanding, and bent over to the left.

Shen Qingqian stood on the roof and observed for a moment before finding a suitable position and half-knelt down.

She drew her bow and aimed at a soldier who was swinging a broadsword. With a whoosh, as the soldier's broadsword chopped down, Shen Qingqian's arrow flew out.

"Dangdang!"

The officer's knife fell to the ground and the arrow pierced his arm.

The officer and soldier staggered and almost fell down.

The officers and soldiers nearby noticed something unusual and looked up towards the roof.

Shen Qingqian had already evacuated his original position and was running to the right with his back bent.

On the other side, Yingzi had already fired three arrows in a row, and each arrow hit the soldier's thigh.

Shen Qingqian and Yingzi had explained that their purpose was only to save Zhou Qi and his brothers, and there was no need to kill anyone.

The officers and soldiers were just following orders and had not committed any heinous crimes. Shen Qingqian would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Shen Qingqian and Yingzi cooperated with each other, changing locations after each shot, and each time the arrows hit the target, and soon the officers and soldiers were thrown into disarray.

Zhou Qi's men also got a chance to catch their breath.

Shen Qingqian made a gesture to Yingzi, who understood and retreated quietly.

At the same time, Zhiqing and Zhizhu rushed into the battle on horseback.

"Get out!"

The educated youth shouted.

"You retreat first, we'll cover you!"

Zhizhu added.

Zhiqing and Zhizhu were not in disguise, but were veiled like the others, so Zhou Qi's men recognized them quickly.

Suddenly seeing Zhiqing and Zhizhu appear here, Zhou Qi's men guessed that they must be here to help them. Everyone listened to them and retreated into the city.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward to intercept and surround them. The educated youth, holding a spear, swept through the enemy with one move, and the officers and soldiers fell down one after another.

Zhizhu held a long whip in his hand and swung it vigorously, and the officers and soldiers were beaten back step by step.

Under the cover of Zhiqing and Zhizhu, Zhou Qi's brothers quickly escaped from the encirclement.

Yingzi had returned to the alley entrance next to the inn and was waiting for them!

Seeing them retreating to this side, he hurriedly invited them into the alley, around to the back door of the inn, and entered the inn from the back door.

Zhiqing and Zhizhu did not want to fight and rode away on horseback in another direction in order to divert the pursuing officers and soldiers.

On the other side, Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong were blocked on the city wall by a group of soldiers. Both of them were good at martial arts, and although the other side did not gain any advantage, they could not get away for a while.

Zhou Qi was relieved to see that his brothers had evacuated safely. He also planned to make a quick decision and find a way to escape.

"Brother Yang, you go first, I'll cover you!"

"it is good!"

Yang Zhong used a spinning kick to knock down four soldiers at once. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he leaped down from the tower.

Zhou Qi also fought while retreating to the bottom of the city wall.

But at this moment, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard. It turned out that reinforcements had arrived here, more than a hundred people!

Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. It seemed like they would have a hard time escaping today!

When Shen Qingqian saw so many soldiers coming on the roof, his temples began to throb, and he thought that this was going to be trouble!

If Zhiqing Zhizhu and Yingzi were there, it would be no problem for them to deal with a hundred or so soldiers. But the purpose of their trip was to rescue people in the northern border, not to risk everything and fight against Wu Tongpan!

Shen Qingqian felt that Zhou Qi was a troublemaker and that all the trouble was caused by him!

Now the educated youth Zhizhu and Yingzi both have missions to complete and cannot come over for the time being. She is the only one who can go to help. She can't just stand by and watch them die!

But at this moment, the officers and soldiers who arrived all raised their bows and arrows and aimed at Yang Zhong and Zhou Qi who were surrounded in the middle.

As long as the two dare to act rashly, they will soon be beaten to pieces!

Shen Qingqian rubbed her forehead helplessly. It was over! These soldiers were obviously well prepared. She couldn't help them even if she went out!

Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong also realized this. They looked at each other and then threw away the swords in their hands.
