Zhou Ying was worried about Gu Chenglin. So, she entered the room and brought Gu Chenglin, who was already sitting on the ground, along with her.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui stood before a window and shouted, "Retreat and defend! Split up as soon as possible!"
Zhou Huaiming heard his shout and paused momentarily before ordering his soldiers, "Listen up, fight while retreating! Pull away as soon as possible!"
The other party wasn't stupid. They knew immediately that without mixing with the enemy, something bad might befall them.
Therefore, they closed the distance and stuck closely together.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he did not get angry. He did not mean to force them to separate. Instead, he wanted his people to retreat to the opposite side of him as far as possible.
Then, he marked a few of the stronger assassins and started shooting them with his crossbow.
