First Volume, Chapter 1089: Draw the Blade to Help

As the Yamen Runner screamed, Zhao Yuxiong tightened his grip again; the crushed wound on the runner spilled out a large amount of blood, looking extremely horrifying.

Liu Yunqiu, only twelve years old, had witnessed this horrifying scene up close; his small face was already pale as paper, slumped on the ground, staring blankly at Zhao Yuxiong, even thinking to himself that he should never have asked this terrifying man for help.

The surrounding civilians were so terrified they dared not even breathe.

At the Ming Xian Cheng Men, only the pig-like screams of the Yamen Runner remained.

At that moment, a group emerged from the direction of the City Gate; the man leading them was precisely the man in White Clothes who had been watching from the City Gate Tower earlier.

The Yamen Runner seized him like a lifeline and shouted: "Young Master Wang, save me!"

Hearing the Yamen Runner's address to the White Clothes man, Zhao Yuxiong immediately realized this man was the Wang Family's young master Liu Yunqiu had mentioned.

Wang Chi arrived with dozens of Yamen Runners and Servants, charging forward with fierce momentum.

At first, he had noticed the cavalry outside the city were well-equipped and intended to avoid trouble, but these fools had the audacity to barge in—then he could hardly blame himself.

Wang Chi roared angrily: "Insolent! How dare you cause chaos in Ming County? Do you not wish to live?!"

"Release him at once!"

As Wang Chi was shouting, Qin Feng also arrived with the Black Cavalry, slowly approaching from the side.

Though Zhao Yuxiong was fierce, he was alone; if he died here instead of on the battlefield, it would be far too frustrating.

So for safety's sake, Qin Feng led his squad immediately to assist Zhao Yuxiong.

Seeing the cavalry slowly approaching, Wang Chi's heart faltered—but then he remembered this was Ming County, where even a Strong Dragon cannot overpower a Local Snake; his fears vanished instantly.

Wang Chi glared fiercely at Zhao Yuxiong and gritted his teeth: "Are your ears stuffed with donkey hair? Let go now, or I won't be gentle with you!"

Facing Wang Chi's threat, Zhao Yuxiong showed no fear; instead, he demonstrated his defiance by squeezing the Yamen Runner's hand even harder.

Hearing the Yamen Runner's hysterical screams, Wang Chi's face flushed red—he clearly wasn't giving him any face at all!

"What are you waiting for? Attack him!"

At his command, Wang Chi's Servants rushed forward—but the Yamen Runners stood frozen in place, showing no intention to help.

Seeing this, Wang Chi flew into a rage and roared at the Yamen Runners: "What are you all staring at?!"

"Do you intend to betray the Wang Family?!"

The squad leader looked troubled: "Young Master Wang, don't you see? They're all wearing Armor—charging them would be suicide."

"These men are likely Elite Troops withdrawn from the Qian Xian Zhan Chang. If we can settle this with words, we should avoid fighting."

The squad leader was shrewd—he knew full well that charging would only lead to humiliation; better to reason than to die pointlessly.

Though these men were dangerous, this was still Ming County; a group of passing soldiers wouldn't dare act recklessly.

Wang Chi clenched his fists in fury at the squad leader's words.

These dogs ate and drank the Wang Family's food, yet at the critical moment, they all turned into cowardly turtles.

At that moment, a cry of shock came from behind.

Wang Chi turned and turned pale—his Servants hadn't even reached Zhao Yuxiong before they were felled by arrows.

Wang Chi was stunned, instinctively stepping back two paces; his anger vanished, replaced by pale, nervous dread.

In an instant, five of the dozen Servants were dead, six wounded; the rest scrambled backward, screaming and crying as they fled.

The Black Cavalry opposite hadn't even unleashed full force—only the front row held their horsebows.

The Ming County squad leader was also stunned—he dealt mostly with common folk and rarely even saw proper bandits.

Seeing five Servants killed in an instant, with the enemy not even blinking, the squad leader felt a chill run down his spine.

He cursed inwardly: Had he forgotten to check the almanac today? Why had he encountered these demons?

Had they not moved first, perhaps they could have Subjugated the Enemy Without Fighting—but now, with men dead, this affair had escalated beyond control.

Though the squad leader deeply wished to avoid trouble, he now had no choice—he turned and shouted to the Yamen Runners: "Return to the city and summon reinforcements!"

The squad leader instantly recognized that the leader of this cavalry was the man on the white horse—the one who looked refined and gentle.

All other cavalry wore identical Armor, but this man's was not black—it was ancient bronze.

The squad leader pointed at Qin Feng and growled: "No matter which army you belong to, if you dare kill in Ming County, you won't leave alive!"

"Even your superiors won't save you."

Seeing the squad leader finally stand firm, Wang Chi was overjoyed; he jumped up and down, cursing at the Black Cavalry.

"Blind fools! How dare you cause trouble in Ming County? Do you think wearing Armor gives you license to act like beasts?"

"You're dead!"

Wang Chi felt safe because foreign soldiers, even when arriving in his territory, had to keep their heads down—if they overstepped, even if their superiors tried to intervene, it wouldn't matter.

Even if they did intervene, it wouldn't help!

After all, the local Garrison Troops would never allow foreign troops to issue orders here.

These cavalry might be Elite Troops, but Wang Chi firmly believed that with the Wang Family's power, he could permanently bury these fools in Ming County.

As Wang Chi and the squad leader shouted threats, a strange laugh caught them off guard.

The laugh did not come from Qin Feng—it came from an ordinary Black Cavalryman.

Then, like an infection, the laughter spread among the Black Cavalry; many burst out laughing on the spot.

"Not knowing their own death?"

Who exactly was the one who didn't know?

The Black Cavalry had seen countless grand scenes—but never had they seen anyone dare threaten Qin Feng face-to-face.

Wang Chi naturally didn't understand why they were laughing—but he didn't care; this was his territory. Could outsiders really bully him on his own ground?

Once the county's Yamen troops emerged, they were dead.

"Laugh! I'll see how long you can keep laughing!"

"Heheh, don't boast—I, the Wang Family, am the master of Ming County. Even if Heaven's Emperor came here, it wouldn't help."
