Their iron cavalry was very brave and good at fighting. In a situation where there were equal numbers, the imperial guards were not their match.

Seeing that the 5,000 imperial guards were retreating and the soldiers of the guard station could not rush over, the King of the Southern Wilderness realized the seriousness of the situation.

A Ghost Shadow Guard cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll escort you to a safe place first!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness did not want to leave.

He wanted to see the Zongzheng Wei fall into his palm with his own eyes!

“Your Majesty, ” Xie Jinnian advised. “Take care of your dragon body first so that the soldiers can fight in peace.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness suppressed the burning anger in his heart. “The soldiers of the guard station didn’t rush over. They should have stopped them halfway, but there’s a guard station’s troops. They didn’t have the time to stop them.”

The Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes had come from the west city gate. To them, the Jinwu Guards in the east of the city were the furthest. At this moment, the two sides must not have met.

The King of the Southern Wilderness said to the Ghost Shadow Guards,

“Quickly bring a few people to the Jinwu Guards to convey my decree.”

At the Cheng family, Cheng Sang couldn’t see Su Xiaoxiao again. She asked Mei

Ji, “Little bird demon, where’s Weiwei?”

Mei Ji said, “She went out. She’ll be back before dark.”

Cheng Sang thought for a moment. “If she doesn’t come back, we’ll look for her. ”

Mei Ji muttered, “Are you addicted to running out recently?”

Mei Ji knew Su Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts. She wanted to go with Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao asked her to stay and protect Cheng Sang.

Thinking that Cheng Sang only had a lunatic, Yuchi Xiu, with her, Mei Ji

agreed.

The three little ones went to the courtyard to play and ran back.

Dahu said, “There are many people outside.”

Erhu said, “Surrounding our house!”

Xiaohu bared his teeth exaggeratedly. “I’m so afraid.”

Cheng Lian also realized that something was wrong. She couldn’t care less about Xie Yunhe’s disgust for her now and hurriedly went to Xie Yunhe’s courtyard.

“Master, what happened? There are suddenly so many troops outside the Cheng family! Is His Majesty going to kill us?”

Xie Yunhe asked Steward Cui to ask around.

However, no matter how Steward Cui asked, those soldiers did not even give him a look.

Cheng Lian was so frightened that she paced around the room. “What should we do? What should we do?”

Xie Yunhe asked someone to go to the back door.

The back door was also guarded.

The Jinwu Guards received the imperial edict and the commander led 2,000 troops straight to the Cheng family.

They wanted to capture Cheng Sang, Cheng Lian, and Xie Yunhe.

One was the head of the Cheng family, and the other was the Holy Maiden’s biological parents. They would be important hostages in the hands of the King of the Southern Wilderness.

However, when they rushed to the Cheng family, they were surprised to see an unfamiliar army.

All of them were dressed in black armor and held halberds. Their eyes were cold and their auras were powerful.

The commander sat on the horse and frowned. “Which guard station are you from?”

The Black-armored general glanced at him coldly. “Did your wretched lord send you?”

The commander of the Jinwu Guards said angrily, “How dare you! You’re actually so disrespectful to His Majesty! Guards! Take him down!”

A Jinwu Guard rode forward and waved the longsword in his hand, slashing fiercely at the Black-armored general.

The Black-armored general waved his halberd and cut off the other party’s head!

The bloody head rolled to the commander’s horse hooves, revealing a pair of large eyes that had yet to fade from shock.

The commander’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the other party coldly. “It seems like you want to do this the hard way. Looks like you’re also a rebel. Then don’t blame the Jinwu Guards for flattening the Cheng family today!”

The commander was not afraid. He had brought a total of 2,000 troops, and the Black- armored Army in front of him only had 300 people.

The Black-armored general gripped his halberd tightly. “Black-armored Guards, listen up. Kill anyone who breaks into the family!”

“Kill!

“Kill!

“Kill! ”

There were clearly only 300 black-armored guards, but their shout was equivalent to the power of a thousand troops.

Every Black-armored Guard was like a brave lone wolf as they pounced over and bit the enemy’s throat, not giving the enemy any chance to counterattack.

The commander became more and more frightened as he fought.

These Black-armored Guards were too powerful. Where did they come from? Every move was incomparably ruthless, fast, and accurate, hitting the vital points.

They were also proficient in array formations. Once one was trapped in the array, they would only be a pile of flesh and blood when they came out.

How was this a war?

All of them must be assassins!

Just as the Black-armored Guards were harvesting the Jinwu Guards, eight Ghost Shadow Guards quietly infiltrated the Cheng family.

They split up. Four of them went to capture Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe, while the other four went to capture Cheng Sang.

Xie Yunhe was quickly caught.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Cheng Lian put on her maidservant’s clothes and fled to Cheng Sang’s courtyard.

“Sister, save me—”

Four Ghost Shadow Guards descended from the sky and were about to catch Cheng Sang, who was fighting crickets on the ground.

Before they could attack, a proud and disdainful man’s voice came from the roof. “How dare a mere mortal cause trouble in the Divine Lord’s territory!”

The four of them looked up and saw a person standing on the roof. He was dressed in black from head to toe and had his back to them with a long sword.

Damn it!

Where did this lunatic come from!

A Ghost Shadow Guard rushed forward and kicked.

Yuchi Xiu turned around and dodged, stabbing out with his sword!

The Ghost Shadow Guards nimbly avoided it.

Yuchi Xiu said, “To be able to dodge my sword, you…” Duang!

Mei Ji smashed a finished corn cob at the back of his head. “Yuchi! If you want to fight, fight! What’s wrong with you!”

Yuchi Xiu’s face darkened as he fought with the other party.

The Ghost Shadow Guards were experts comparable to top-notch puppets and so many of them were here. The two of them were not their match.

Seeing that Cheng Sang was about to be captured, a terrifying killing aura slashed through the air and broke the Ghost Shadow Guard’s hand that was reaching for Cheng Sang.

The Ghost Shadow Guard screamed.

Ghostfear landed behind him and pierced his back.

Another Ghost Shadow Guard rushed at Cheng Sang.

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang drew their swords and surrounded Cheng Sang.

Other than the Ghost Shadow Guard who had kidnapped Xie Yunhe, the other three rushed over.

The two sides fought intensely.

Little did they know that there was still a ninth Ghost Shadow Guard hiding in the dark.

He glanced at the three children eating candied hawthorn in the house. He barged in through the window, grabbed one, and ran out!

“Don’t grab the Dahu!”

Xiaohu threw his favorite candied hawthorn! He pounced over and bit the other party’s butt!

Erhu also reacted and bit down with his brother.

The Ghost Shadow Guard trembled in pain. His arm slipped and Dahu fell.

He swung one off and grabbed the other.

It was Xiaohu.

Wei Ting’s eyebrows twitched. “There’s someone else!”

A Ghost Shadow Guard blocked his path.

The ninth Ghost Shadow Guard grabbed Xiaohu and left the residence.

However, when he fled to a quiet alley, he suddenly heard the melodious sound of a zither..
