First Volume_Chapter 1273: Yuezhao Kingdom Veterans

"Even the rebuilding of the Black Guard Division was carried out right under the eyes of the Brocade Guard."

"Who the backbone of the Black Guard is, who holds power in their hands, who is in charge of which district—I know it all clearly."

"If it weren't for buying time, unwilling to start a war with the Liang Emperor too early, within one month I could have the Brocade Guard slaughter the entire Black Guard Division."

"If the Brocade Guard finds it inconvenient to act, then monitor those who find it convenient to act."

Qin Feng had set up double insurance—not only did the Brocade Guard continuously monitor Wu Heli, he also specially assigned a squad of Tianji Camp Guards to coordinate with the Brocade Guard.

If the Brocade Guard's covert assassination failed, then Tianji Camp Guards would be sent to push forward directly, relying on absolute force to forcibly annihilate Wu Heli.

However, these were all precautions against the unexpected.

After all, Wu Heli could be considered a hero and would not do something so beneath his dignity.

Qin Feng also hoped that Wu Heli could bring back the Black Guard's heads, present them before him to complete his mission, and then meet his end honorably.

Only thus would Wu Heli be different from Chen Yanzong and die a death worthy of his fate.

Upon learning that Qin Feng had long been strategizing within the command tent and winning battles a thousand li away, the four women exchanged glances once more, their eyes full of admiration and pride.

Being able to follow such a man for life made their own lives incomparably brilliant.

At the same time, Wu Heli had once again launched an attack against a Black Guard Division street stronghold.

Wu Heli wore a set of captured Light Armor, held a Shield in his left hand, carried a Chang Mao on his right shoulder, and had a Bow and Arrow slung on his back.

Apart from the Armor being rather shoddy, he was fully armed.

The reason he dressed this way was so that at a critical moment, he could make a timely escape.

It wasn't that he was disloyal, but rather so that this hunt against the Black Guard could be prolonged as much as possible.

Wu Heli was not only meticulous in his thinking, but also extremely bold.

Because this place was less than fifty li in a straight line from Jingdu, already equivalent to being at Tianzi Jiaoxia.

Launching a fierce attack on a Black Guard Division street stronghold in such a place was practically seeking death—yet Wu Heli not only did it, he did it thoroughly.

The Black Guards pursuing Wu Heli never dreamed that instead of hiding to lie low, Wu Heli would actually come here to kill.

This stronghold was no small in scale—inside were six Black Guards and Ten Plus informants.

And at Wu Heli's side were eight helpers, four Yuezhao Kingdom Death Warriors—not counting himself, twelve in total.

Outnumbered, Wu Heli launched the attack without hesitation, catching the Black Guards completely off guard.

By now the informants had all been killed, leaving only the Black Guards holed up inside the house, making a last stand.

The four Black Guards also had a clear division of labor—one guarded the door, one guarded the Window, and the other two served as Rear Guard.

Although Wu Heli had surrounded the stronghold, he could not take it for a long time.

"Boss, only four Black Guards left, but they're tough nuts to crack—we simply can't get in."

"How about we just set the house on fire? I don't believe they won't come out then."

The Yuezhao Kingdom Death Warriors kept communicating with Wu Heli in the language of Yuezhao Kingdom.

Wu Heli raised a hand and said in a low, sharp voice: "No!"

"If we burn them to death, how do we cut off their heads to trade for money?"

"Without money, how do we buy Weapons and equipment, how do we expand the business?"

The Yuezhao Kingdom Death Warriors furrowed their brows: "Then what do we do? How about we try a risky forced assault?"

Wu Heli refused again: "Don't tempt fate."

"These four Black Guards are all veterans."

"The two Black Guards guarding the door—one holds a Sword and Shield in front, the other holds a Chang Mao behind—without Heavy Armor, there's no way to force a breakthrough."

"The Black Guard defending the Window is much the same."

A plan formed in Wu Heli's mind, and he quickly instructed: "Leave four men with Sword and Shield to defend in front; the rest, take off your Weapons and switch to Bow and Arrow!"

Although Wu Heli had always been prepared to flee the battlefield, that was under the premise of being surrounded.

Now that the Black Guards had become a cooked duck in the pot, Wu Heli showed his brave and decisive side.

He raised the Shield in his left hand in front of his body to prevent being shot dead by the Black Guards' Cold Arrow, while raising the Chang Mao in his hand, continuously thrusting and hacking at the Window.

Before long, the Window was smashed apart by Wu Heli.

With the wooden frame of the Window no longer blocking them, the Black Guards could only retreat behind the door—after all, several people outside were aiming their Bows and Arrows at the Window.

After further compressing the Black Guards' defensive space, Wu Heli directly tossed aside the Chang Mao, raised his Shield, climbed through the Window, and jumped inside.

"Quick! Protect me!"

Wu Heli kept shouting, and the helpers armed with Bows and Arrows quickly ran to the Window, aiming their Bows and Arrows into the room to prevent the Black Guards from rushing over and killing Wu Heli.

Wu Heli stared at the Black Guards; the four Black Guards hiding in the dead corner of the room also glared ferociously at Wu Heli.

"Damned dog, you've actually defected—the Black Guard Division will surely tear you to pieces!"

Facing the Black Guards' threats, Wu Heli didn't care at all.

"Defected? Defect my ass!"

"I was never one of you Black Guards to begin with. You lot tricked me and got my Comrade Wu Cheng killed—this Revenge makes us irreconcilable enemies."

"Even without Qin Feng putting a bounty on your heads, I would still avenge Wu Cheng."

Hearing these words, the Black Guards gritted their teeth even harder.

"That coward Qin Feng, too afraid to deal with the Black Guard Division himself, actually sent a miser like you."

Wu Heli sneered on the spot: "Afraid? If Qin Feng wanted to kill you, the Black Guard Division would be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

"Qin Feng's unwillingness to act has nothing to do with you."

"The contest between Qin Feng and the Liang Emperor is beyond our ability to fathom, and you bunch of ridiculous Black Guards aren't even fit to be opponents of the Brocade Guard."

"Even I can Qing your movements—how dare you claim to be on par with the Brocade Guard? What an absolute joke!"

Ever since all the Comrades by Wu Heli's side had died, and after reaching a deal with Qin Feng, he had revealed a free-spirited and crazed side.

This was the result of having no ties or concerns left.

The current Wu Heli feared no one; in his mind there was only one thought left — before being killed by Qin Feng, to accumulate more wealth for his family.

With Wu Heli and an archer occupying the Window position, two more helpers wielding Sword and Shield immediately leapt in.

Once their numbers gradually formed an advantage, Wu Heli no longer held back and barked in a low voice: "Kill!"

In the small room, an intense and brief close-quarters fight immediately unfolded.

In just a few breaths, the Battle was over; all four Black Captains were taken down, while on Wu Heli's side, two helpers had died.

Wu Heli hacked off the Black Captains' heads and said in a deep voice: "Note down the names of our fallen brothers. When we sell the heads, their share will not be short — send it back to their families."

"Six heads, Three Hundred Taels of Silver. Comrades, if we keep going like this, it won't be long before we can save up a large sum of money for our families. Even if we die, we'll have no regrets."
