Chapter 57 Get Out Quickly
Half of the twenty guards were awake.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I could smell the burning smell, and then I saw the fire spreading in the room, and the thick smoke was rising as arrows filled with kerosene were shot into the house.

Seeing all this, he suddenly became sober after drinking wine. He pushed away his companions, and all twenty of them woke up. They picked up the weapons around them and ran out of the inn.

The corridor was narrow, and twenty people were crowded together. They stumbled and started to get hurt before the fight started.

Fortunately, the crowding and stumbling caused them to sober up.

Zheng Pin hid in the gap under the stairs, trembling with fear.

Qin Ruizhi took advantage of the waiter in the posthouse to wake up the guard, went upstairs, took the light shuttle sword and long whip, then turned down and hid with Zheng Pin.

During this interval, she not only watched the group of guards scramble to escape, but also took advantage of the opportunity to shoot the arrows filled with kerosene.

Visible to the eye and audible to the ear, a total of thirteen arrows shot into the post house.

There are five on the second floor and eight on the downstairs. Half of them are filled with kerosene. The fire has started and there is smoke and dust, but it is still controllable.

Furthermore, no more arrows were fired.

Qin Ruizhi hid there without moving.

The situation between the enemy and ourselves is unclear. It is not clear how many people the opponent has and how many archers they bring.It is also not certain whether new arrows will be shot in while cutting arrows to extinguish the fire.

If there is, you will not be able to avoid it in time, and you will accidentally hit the arrow, which will cost your own life.

What's more important is that Zheng Pin is still with her, and the confession on his body is best buried in this sea of ​​​​fire.

Qin Ruizhi watched the group of guards finally crowd into the hall, and the space suddenly opened up.

Just as he was about to rush out the door, a group of masked assassins broke in through the window, holding knives in each hand, and slashed at the group of guards without any explanation.

The guards of the Pei family were blocked from retreating. Unable to escape, they had no choice but to face the enemy head-on, and the two sides fought together.

The opponent only has about ten people, but the Pei family guards have 20 people. They have the upper hand in terms of numbers. They work together to kill one person. One person attacks the waist and the other person attacks the lower court. Or one is in front and the other is in the back. Then one person went to help his companions and worked together. The group of masked assassins who had been beaten in just a cup of tea were defeated. They were all wounded and still resisting.

Qin Ruizhi watched the whole process in her eyes, her eyes were startled, and she secretly said: "That's not right..."

It's wrong, the body shape is wrong, and the fighting ability is wrong.

The assassins who attacked Gaofu that night were all masked, but they were thin and not tall. The assassins who came this time were thicker, a whole body thicker than before, and a head taller than the previous assassins.

What's more important is that the assassins who attacked Gaofu at night were all fierce, and their attacks were ruthless, and their swords were running to death. However, the assassins at the moment were weak and unable to withstand the slashing attacks of Pei's guards.

However, that night, the person who was beaten was Qin Ruizhi. With the help of Aunt Qiu's long whip, he managed to fight back and forth. In the end, it was Gao Zhiying's light shuttle sword that forced them back.

"Miss, let's rush out quickly..."

The shouts of the Pei family guards drew Qin Ruizhi's attention, and she glanced at Zheng Pin beside her.

Zheng Pin wanted to rush out, but Qin Ruizhi grabbed him tightly and responded in a loud voice: "You guys go quickly, I have to wait for my brother. My brother went to the toilet and hasn't come back yet. I can't leave him behind."

"Miss, if you don't leave, it will be too late." There was another urging.

Before Qin Ruizhi responded, she heard a voice from the assassin: "It's not that easy to leave. All of you will die here today, and none of you can escape."

It was still a low voice at first, and then it became louder and louder, "What are you waiting for? Shoot them with arrows and burn them to death. If you don't shoot them with arrows, we will all die."

As he spoke, he burst into laughter, with a voice that was both tragic and desolate: "Prince Xiang's great cause has not been accomplished, so he can only die to repay it. 18 years later, he was another good man, and he went to His Highness Prince Xiang and achieved great imperial supremacy." Shoot... arrow..."

After a high-pitched and drawn-out sound, arrows filled with kerosene were shot in. They were everywhere on the windows, counters, and tables put together.

There is wine spilled on the table from a drunken night. When exposed to strong alcohol, the fire will burn faster.

The entire hall was already a sea of ​​fire.

If you don't leave, you will really die here.

The guards of the Pei family ignored Qin Ruizhi and slashed at the masked assassins with their swords. The masked assassins were still resisting and making negligible resistance.

Waiting for this moment.

Qin Ruizhi pulled Zheng Pin and bowed out from under the stairs, following each step cautiously.

Not only did he have to avoid the guards and assassins fighting each other, but he also had to avoid the spot where the fire had started. As he walked, he walked around the table, where the fire was raging and there was no way out.

Just as he was about to turn around and take a detour, a guard came here fighting with the assassin. The sword didn't have eyes and was struck out of thin air.

Qin Ruizhi pushed Zheng Pin away with a palm, unsheathed the long sword and slashed it along the shoulder of the masked assassin. Blood spattered and the silver blade was stained with bright red. Then he flew up and kicked the assassin away. The knife was embedded in the bone of the shoulder and flew out with it.

Qin Ruizhi drew her long sword from her lower back, jumped up, cut off a kerosene arrow that was about to be fired into the house, and then stabbed a masked assassin.

Just as he was about to continue fighting, Zheng Pin's sharp and weak voice came: "Help...help me..."

Qin Ruizhi turned around and saw Zheng Pin lying on the ground, rolled under the table, with flames raging all over his body, and he was already half a man on fire.

She avoided the masked assassin and pushed Zheng Pin back, staggering and falling on the table. The wound exploded, and he was almost breathless from the pain. He was already injured, and his movements were slow. The flames raged and ignited. His clothes were hit hard, but the fire became even stronger, burning along his lower back to his thighs, and then half of his body was on fire.

"Zheng Pin, I'm here to save you, get out of here."

Qin Ruizhi rushed over, bowed and pulled Zheng Pin out from under the table, then swung her long sword and pierced the back of his neck. With a slight lift, she heard a stabbing sound, and her clothes tore, along with the wound bandage. The gauze fell to the ground together, buried in the sea of ​​fire, and was completely swallowed up by the fire.

"Go, go quickly, the fire is too strong. This house cannot withstand it and is about to collapse."

Qin Ruizhi grabbed Zheng Pin and broke through the siege, slashing left and right. When she reached the door, she did not forget to remind the Pei family guards, "Quickly leave, don't be reluctant to fight, the house is going to collapse."

The door was narrow, only two people could walk through, and there was a fire beside the door frame. Qin Ruizhi reminded: "Don't leave, break the window and come out."

Immediately afterwards, guards jumped out of the window in twos and threes. Some were injured and covered in blood. Some were on fire. As soon as they landed, they rolled on the ground to put out the fire on their bodies.
