"We only have three hundred thousand taels of silver.”King Duan asked Fang Kefang.
"No, without a million taels of silver, we will not let him go!”Fang Fangfang said.
"You're asking for a forfeit!”Wang Chenghua said.
"Hahaha, why don't we have a competition and see who's stronger? I'm not afraid of you useless soldiers!”Fang Fangfang said.
"Are you sure you want to use force?" Wang Chenghua said.
"So what? Don't be fooled by the number of people you have. You can't beat us!”Fang Kefang said. Then, she began to call for the people of Chahua Villa."Brothers of Chahua Villa, come out and fight!”
After a short while, a large group of people came out from the rooms in Chahua Garden. There were about 500 people.
"Fight!" King Duan ordered.
The two sides began to fight. There were 500 men in Chahua Garden, while King Duan had brought 2,500 Imperial Army soldiers. In terms of numbers, King Duan had the advantage, but after the battle, almost all of Chahua Garden's guests and servants knew martial arts. Each of them was fighting one against five, and they were not at a disadvantage at all.
The Imperial Army held their spears and fought five against one, but they were unable to do anything to the people of Chahua Villa. The more they fought, the more valiant they became, forcing the Imperial Army to retreat bit by bit. The advantage was tilted towards the people of Chahua Villa.
Li Dalei, Yuan Wen, and Yuan Wu had also joined the battle. They had dismounted their horses and were engaged in battle. Wang Chenghua was commanding the Imperial Army. King Duan's carriage was originally about a hundred feet away from the crowd, but it was now only a few feet away from the crowd as the Imperial Army soldiers were being beaten. Li Shishi sat on the left, King Duan sat on the right, and Gao Qiu was on King Duan's right, protecting him with a saber.
Qiao Feng also got off his horse and picked up his dog prod, occasionally fighting with the two grannies of the Chahua Villa. However, at the same time, there were also some Imperial Army soldiers fighting with these two grannies.
After fighting for about two hours, the Imperial Army was forced to retreat step by step by the Chahua Residence. Now, King Duan's carriage was only three zhang away from the crowd. At this time, it seemed that there were no casualties in the Chahua Residence, but a few Imperial Army soldiers had fallen to the ground and could not get up.
At this moment, one of the guests of the Chahua Villa suddenly dashed towards King Duan's carriage with a knife in his hand. He was aiming at Li Shishi, and he used all his strength to slash at her.
When King Duan saw the man approaching, he immediately moved in front of Li Shishi and used his right arm to protect her left side.
At that moment, Qiao Feng also discovered that this person had sneaked an attack on King Duan's carriage. He immediately ran behind the person. The person's knife slashed heavily at Li Shishi, and Qiao Feng used his internal strength to the dog driving rod to block the person's knife. With a clang, the knife was deflected and the strength was reduced by 70%. The remaining 30% of the strength was still enough to cut King Duan.
King Duan's right arm was injured by Song Li's blade. His right arm was immediately cut open. He covered his injured right arm with a cry.
If King Duan hadn't stood up to block the attack and Qiao Feng hadn't used the Dog Quelling Rod to deflect the attack, it would have directly hit Li Shishi's neck and beheaded her, killing her on the spot.
Li Shishi quickly helped King Duan take off his shirt, revealing the wound on his right arm. She cried and said,"King Duan, Shishi should have blocked the knife for you. Why did you block the knife for Shishi?”
Because they lacked experience in the martial arts world, neither King Duan nor Li Shishi brought Golden Creation with them. King Duan's wound was bleeding, and Li Shishi was helpless for a while. She could only continue crying helplessly.
After Qiao Feng blocked the man's knife, he quickly used the Dog Driving Staff Technique to hit him twice. At this time, Yuan Wen and Yuan Wu saw that King Duan was injured and rushed over. They fought with the man who had injured King Duan. Qiao Feng walked to King Duan's carriage and took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket. He said to Li Shishi,"This is Golden Creation medicine, quickly apply it on King Duan!”
Qiao Feng was a martial arts practitioner. He would inevitably carry a few bottles of Golden Creation with him when he traveled in the martial arts world in case he needed them. He often traveled in the martial arts world, and it was inevitable for him to fight and kill. It was normal for him to get some red wounds, so he would always carry Golden Creation with him to stop the bleeding.?
Li Shishi quickly opened the bottle and poured the powder on King Duan's right arm. After a while, the bleeding stopped. Li Shishi tore off a piece of gauze from her dress and bandaged King Duan's wound.
Then, she returned the Golden Creation medicine to Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng said,"Give it to King Duan. There's no shortage of Golden Creation Medicine in the martial arts world!”
Thus, Li Shishi handed the Golden Creation medicine to King Duan, who accepted it.
At this moment, the Imperial Army had been forced back to the same level as King Duan's carriage. King Duan looked at the situation and felt that the situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous to him. If this continued, he would suffer heavy losses. It was better to withdraw his troops today and make a plan another day.
King Duan turned to Gao Qiu and Wang Chenghua and said,""Gao Qiu, Commander Wang, order them to retreat. We won't fight today!”
Then, King Duan ordered the donkey driver to turn the horse around and head towards the Regional Commanders 'Manor.
Back in the Regional Commanders 'Mansion, King Duan was still sitting in the hall. As King Duan's right arm was injured, Li Shishi was sitting beside him to serve him. She was also preparing to write something for him.
"Do a count. How many casualties have our Imperial Army suffered this time? How many casualties had their Chahua Villa suffered?”King Duan said.
"Reporting to King Duan, we lost a total of twenty-five brothers. The injured ones were the majority, but they all came back. After treatment, they were all fine. There were also some injured in the Chahua Villa, but none of them died.”Wang Chenghua said.
"These twenty-five dead brothers, each of them will be given a thousand taels of silver to bury, and each family member will be given a thousand taels of silver as compensation.”King Duan said.
"Alright, leave this matter to me!”Wang Chenghua replied.
"I didn't expect that the people in Chahua Garden knew martial arts, whether they were guests or servants. So, I thought that 2,500 people would be enough to defeat them, but once the battle started, we fell into a disadvantage.”King Duan said.
"It doesn't matter. Pingjiang (Gusu City) has 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers.”Wang Chenghua said.
"Ai, for the sake of our Peasant Sect, we lost twenty-five brothers. This Qiao feels that the price is too great, and I really feel bad. This Qiao will think of a way to get some silver." Qiao Feng said.
"This time, it's mainly because I didn't anticipate the situation at Tea Flower Villa, so I underestimated the enemy. Brother Qiao, don't blame yourself! How about this, we'll select 2,500 soldiers from the 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers in the next two days. Brother Qiao, help us train them for a month, and then we'll go fight!”King Duan said.
"This is a good idea! He would first select the best from the 50,000 people and then train them. They should be able to deal with the people from Chahua Villa, and no more brothers would die!”Wang Chenghua said.
"Alright, let's do that!" King Duan said.
