We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Along with the sound of gunfire came a series of extremely shrill howls:

"what--"

"my hand!"

"Ya Butterfly!"

"Who fired the musket?!"

I saw blood flowers suddenly bursting out from the people at the outermost edge of the encirclement, and a bloody smell filled the air.

Some people fell down holding their chests, some hugged their thighs and wailed, and some had their heads smashed directly. The crowd was in chaos in an instant!

Chen Wenrui looked in the direction of the sound in horror.

At some point, dozens of figures appeared silently in every corner of the government courtyard - behind the rockery, on the eaves, and on the top of the wall.

They all wore strange white windbreakers with tight clothes underneath. Their faces could not be seen under the hoods, and they exuded a cold and murderous aura.

They were like ghosts blending into the environment, holding in their hands a number of peculiarly shaped short guns with multiple barrels, with wisps of blue smoke coming out of the muzzles.

The leader was Qiu Bai, who leaped down from the high eaves like a roc and landed steadily beside Li Lin:

"The entire Prince's personal guard is here!"

"His Royal Highness has ordered the Fengtian Army to eliminate the rebellion. Anyone who dares to resist with weapons will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!!!"

Dozens of night watchmen responded in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles.

The corner of Li Lin's mouth twitched. Qiu Bai was really good at fooling people. The entire royal guard battalion was even here.

There are more than a hundred night watchmen in Fuzhou City. One third of them are with Li Che, and one third are protecting the Princess of Yan and her three children. It is good enough that Qiu Bai has more than thirty people under his command.

Of course, although Li Lin was complaining in his heart, he was not stupid enough to say these words out loud, and those yamen runners and private soldiers did not know the real situation.

They only saw this group of the king's personal soldiers rushing into the chaotic crowd like ghosts, followed by the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh and blood:

scoff-

The cold light from the hidden blade flashed among the crowd, bringing up a splash of blood every time.

Combined with the Night Watchmen's elusive movements and the pepper shaker pistols in their hands that kept spitting out flames, it was a one-sided massacre.

Where had this group of people ever seen such a strange and brutal method of killing?

They are okay at bullying the common people on a daily basis, and can barely fight against ordinary bandits.

But the Night Watchmen are all elite soldiers who have crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are the special forces of the Fengtian Army.

The yamen runners had no power to fight back at all, and the sounds of screams and weapons falling to the ground filled the air.

However, in just over ten breaths, most of the dozens of servants and guards had fallen, and the rest were already frightened out of their wits, dropping their weapons and fleeing in panic.

Only a few fierce Japanese warriors were left in the field.

They formed a defensive circle with their backs together, drew their Japanese swords from their waists, howled like wild beasts, and tried to fight a final battle.

"Bagya Road!"

"Baga, come on, the warriors from Japan will show you what a samurai is!"

"Sinesine!"

The night watchmen looked at the Japanese as if they were fools.

It’s not that they can’t defeat this group of Japanese, but this group of Japanese are obviously key figures and are all waiting for Qiu Bai’s orders.

"Hmph!" A fierce light flashed in Li Lin's eyes. "You, a mere Japanese dog, dare to bare your teeth in front of me?"

But Li Lin's hand holding Chen Wenrui did not move at all, and his other free hand reached into his arms like lightning.

shhhhh--

Several cold rays that were almost invisible to the naked eye shot out from his hands, as fast as lightning and at tricky and ruthless angles.

Screams rang out one after another, and the Japanese warriors who were shouting the loudest were seen bleeding from their throats, hearts, eyebrows and other vital parts.

Several people seemed to have their bones pulled out. Their Japanese swords fell to the ground with a clang, and their bodies fell to the ground stiffly. They twitched a few times and then fell silent.

The remaining Japanese warriors were completely frightened by the miraculous flying knives, and their fighting spirit collapsed in an instant.

With a strange cry, he turned around and tried to escape.

"Capture him!" Qiu Bai ordered coldly.

Bang bang bang!

After a few crisp gunshots, several Japanese soldiers' legs spurted blood, and they fell to the ground screaming and began to roll around.

From the time the Night Watch showed up to the end, the normal battle lasted no more than a quarter of an hour.

In the courtyard, apart from Chen Wenrui who was shaking like a sieve, there was no other resister standing.

Chen Wenrui was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the Shura-like scene before him, he felt that those personal guards of the king were like white gods of death, and they did not seem like soldiers from the same world at all.

Is this the strength of General Tiance?

An indescribable chill completely gripped his heart.

This can't be called a battle at all, it's a complete crushing, a one-sided massacre!

"Ghost...you are ghosts...devils..."

Chen Wenrui's eyes were vacant and he muttered to himself in a daze.

"Bah!" Li Lin spat in disdain and kicked Chen Wenrui hard in the knee. "You weakling! You bastard colluding with the Japanese pirates! How dare you call us devils?!"

"Let's go! Follow me to see Lao Liu. Your good days are over!"

He carried the completely limp Chen Wenrui in one hand and, under the protection of the night watchmen, strode towards the front yard of the government office.

Qiu Bai and others followed closely behind, leaving the whole yard in a mess.

The Fuzhou officials working in the government office had already heard the noise, but no one dared to come out to check. They could only hide behind the door and tremble in fear.

Not until the shouting and screaming gradually stopped did everyone look out tremblingly through the cracks in the doors and windows.

But the governor, who was usually high and mighty, and arrogant, was dragged out like a mad dog.

Everyone was shocked and cried out in surprise subconsciously.

Yesterday, Chen Wenrui hosted a banquet for Li Che and Li Che, and the news that Prince Feng and Prince Yan had arrived in Fuzhou was no longer a secret.

The officials knew that Prince Feng was very powerful, but they did not expect him to be so arrogant.

A provincial governor was arrested just like that?

He truly deserves to be the most powerful vassal king of Daqing!

The weather in Fuzhou is about to change!

Thump, thump——

Hearing a series of noises behind him, Li Lin looked in the direction of the sound in confusion.

However, several government officials lost their balance and fell to the ground, all with expressions of fear on their faces and yellow liquid pooling under their crotch.

But he is from Chen Wenrui's faction. I'm afraid he is too deeply involved with Chen Wenrui and can no longer escape the connection.

Now that he saw Chen Wenrui arrested, he was naturally panicked and scared half to death!

Li Lin sneered and ignored him.

The guilty will be dealt with. Once Chen Wenrui is captured, none of these small fry will be able to escape!

Outside the government office gate, the streets had been cleared.

Prince Feng Li Che sat upright on a majestic warhorse, with five hundred solemn and fierce personal soldiers from Prince Fu's palace behind him.

And the bandit leader Yang Ling, who was tied up and looked as pale as death.

When Yang Ling saw Li Lin coming out with Chen Wenrui, who looked like a pile of mud, a look of surprise first flashed across his face, and then he showed a happy smile.

"Hahahaha! Chen Wenrui, you bastard, you deserve this day?!"
