Chapter 225 Life and death hang by a thread
When Lin Mu saw his son go on a killing spree, he knew that his son wanted to kill people to cover it up. He quickly shouted, "Brothers, Shan Rong colluded with Wang Wenzhou to kidnap the young lady. Come with me and kill them!"
Lin Mu and his son were not short of money; they joined the rebel army to seek revenge. Therefore, the father and son were very generous to their men. At Li Mu's command, his men immediately charged towards Shan Rong's guards.
Wang Wenzhou grabbed Gao Guilan's hand, jumped onto the carriage, and shouted, "Retreat quickly!"
Lin Mu and his son led cavalry, while Shan Rong's men were all infantry. When cavalry clashed with infantry, they almost always won.
In no time, all of Shan Rong's men were killed.
Lin Qing cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you all for your help today. My father and I have always been righteous. Follow me in chasing down Wang Wenzhou. Once we kill him and take Hanshan, wealth and glory will be within our grasp. Brothers, kill!"
"kill!"
Lin Qing and his son led their men and quickly gave chase.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Why are they killing each other?" Gao Guilan was puzzled. They were all her father's men, so why were they fighting amongst themselves?
"My silly little girl!" Wang Wenzhou gently stroked Gao Guilan's temple and explained, "Little Lanlan, this is a huge mess! If things go wrong, we might both die. If they catch up with us and I die, you should immediately kneel down and thank them for saving your life."
Gao Guilan said angrily, "Uncle, if they dare to hurt you, I will report to my father and have him skin them alive!"
My silly little girl, you're so adorably silly! If you utter even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, they'll silence you.
Wang Wenzhou kissed Gao Guilan and whispered, "Little Lanlan, be good. You must listen to me. Even if you really want to avenge me, you have to wait until you see your father, understand?"
Gao Guilan burst into tears, sobbing, "Uncle, I don't want you to die! We're not even married yet!"
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed. Damn it, who wants to die? Even a homeless beggar wouldn't want to die before he dies. Besides, I have a harem of beautiful wives and concubines, I can't even keep up with them all every day, why would I want to die?
"Uncle!" Gao Guilan burst into tears in Wang Wenzhou's arms.
Wang Wenzhou held Gao Guilan and kissed her passionately. "I really don't want to die! I haven't even slept with this beauty yet!"
"Sir! The enemy is catching up!" someone shouted from outside the carriage.
"kill!"
"Crackling..."
The carriage stopped, and shouts of battle and the clash of swords reached inside.
Wang Wenzhou trembled all over. It was the first time he had faced the threat of death. How could he not be afraid?
Wang Wenzhou unzipped his pants, glanced at Gao Guilan, and said softly, "Little Lanlan, I'm about to die, take one last bite!"
"Mmm!" Gao Guilan, with tears in her eyes, gently took it in her mouth.
Wang Wenzhou, sword in hand, jumped off the carriage.
At this point, of the more than 100 soldiers in the sedan chair carrier battalion, only a dozen or so remained to fight the rebel army. The rebel army, which originally numbered over 400, now had only about 200 left.
The sedan chair carriers were all top-notch soldiers handpicked by Wang Wenzhou, but they were still no match for the cavalry.
"Hoo!" Wang Wenzhou took a deep breath to calm himself down, pointed his sword at Lin Qing, and shouted, "Lin Qing, are you even a man? If you're a man, get off and fight one-on-one! What kind of hero are you, riding on horseback!"
"Pfft..." Lin Qing almost vomited blood in anger. Wang Shazi, you're shameless! You almost killed me in our one-on-one fight. Do you think I'm that stupid?
"Protect the master!" The remaining dozen or so sedan chair carriers quickly shielded Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Lin Qing and cursed, "Lin Qing, are you even a man? If you've got the guts, come and fight me one-on-one! I'll beat the crap out of you, or I'll change my surname to yours!"
"Pfft..." Lin Qing was furious. Wang Shazi, you want to die? Fine! I'll grant your wish!
Lin Qing dismounted, took a few steps forward, held a broadsword, beckoned to Wang Wenzhou, and said, "Come on!"
Wang Wenzhou shouted, "Stop! Lin Qing told your men to stop!"
Lin Qing laughed and said, "What? You idiot Wang, you want to leave a few people for you to collect your corpse? Fine! I'll grant your wish! Stop!"
Lin Mu frowned and said, "Qing'er, we must nip it in the bud!"
Wang Wenzhou smiled bitterly, "Brother Lin, our grudges have nothing to do with them. They were just protecting me and doing their duty. I don't want any more people to die! If you kill me, you can use my head to attack Hanshan. Without me, Hanshan will be leaderless, and you can easily take it down. After you take Hanshan, you'll have plenty of money and women. Why kill so many people?"
Lin Mu thought for a moment, then remained silent.
Wang Wenzhou said to the 16 sedan chair carriers who had survived, "Put down your weapons, you have done your best!"
"My lord! We are willing to follow you to the death!" The sedan chair carriers all understood that Lord Wang was saving their lives.
Wang Wenzhou shouted, "Have you forgotten? The first rule of the Sedan Chair Bearers' Battalion is to obey orders unconditionally!"
"My lord!" the soldiers pleaded desperately, kneeling on the ground.
"My order is, lay down your weapons!" Wang Wenzhou said coldly.
"Clap clap..." The soldiers, helpless, threw their weapons hard onto the ground.
"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Wang Shazi, I never thought that you, this cowardly coward, would actually have such a manly side?"
Bah! Who the hell wants to die? Wang Wenzhou smiled bitterly to himself, but there was nothing he could do! Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die a beautiful death!
"Prepare to die!" Lin Qing beckoned to Wang Wenzhou.
"Hoo!" Wang Wenzhou took a deep breath. Although he had always insisted on running, he had never practiced martial arts. It was very difficult for someone who had never practiced martial arts to kill someone. Killing someone was like using chopsticks. The first time you used chopsticks, you might be lucky enough to pick up some food and take a bite, but if you wanted to eat a full meal, that was basically impossible.
"If you want to kill me, then come on! Why should I be the one to do it?" Wang Wenzhou said, cursing.
"You idiot Wang, you're too despicable! Today I'm going to cut off your hands and feet and turn you into a human pig!" Lin Qing said, then charged forward with his broadsword.
Lin Mu smiled slightly, "Father, Qing'er is about to avenge you! If you know this in the afterlife, you can rest in peace."
"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou parried with his sword, but with just this one move, he felt that he could barely hold onto the sword. Lin Qing's strength was simply too great.
"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Wang Shazi, you don't even know a little bit of fancy moves! You dare to fight me one-on-one? You're overestimating yourself!"
"Bang!" Lin Qing kicked Wang Wenzhou in the butt, and Wang Wenzhou immediately fell face-first into the dirt.
Lin Qing glanced at Wang Wenzhou with disdain, then swung his broadsword at Wang Wenzhou's thigh.
Wang Wenzhou smiled bitterly. He never imagined this day would come! If he could have another chance, he would definitely learn martial arts! At the very least, he would learn to ride a horse! If he knew how to ride a horse, he would have run away long ago!
Suddenly, a sedan chair carrier soldier pounced on Wang Wenzhou.
"Pfft!" Lin Qing swung his broadsword down, and the soldier was instantly cut in two.
"Idiot!" Wang Wenzhou cursed inwardly, tears welling in his eyes. "You idiot! I'm going to die today, but you guys might still survive. Why did you come to take my place?"
