Chapter 523: Escape
Ye Ming was taken aback at first when she saw Su Xueling standing at the southern end of the chain bridge, but quickly reacted: she might have threatened Ding Tiansheng or Gong Pengju in some way to force them to release her. Judging from where she stood, it was likely that she wanted to take herself into the mountains across the bridge, and then find a way out of the area controlled by Sun Zhicheng and Gong Pengju......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and quickened his pace and ran towards the bridge.
After standing face to face with Su Xueling, Ye Ming asked, "Sister Ling, why are you here?" Who is the baby you are holding? ”
Su Xueling barely controlled her agitated mood, pointed back with her hand and said: "Secretary Ye, please quickly cross this bridge and run to the northeast, as long as you bypass Dulongpo from the mountain, you can reach the jurisdiction of Nova Bang, Sun Zhicheng and Gong Pengju can't help you." ”
Ye Ming hurriedly asked, "What about you?" Won't you come with me? ”
Su Xueling smiled sadly and said, "I can't go with you, that will drag you down." The Boca Mountains behind this camp are high and forested, and there are cliffs everywhere, how far can I run as a woman? You are a person who has practiced martial arts, and your body is brisk, so you should be able to escape the pursuit of Gong Peng's men. You don't have to worry about me, from the first day I arrived in the Golden Triangle, I didn't think about leaving here alive. Now I have the child born to Ding Tiansheng and his mistress in my hand, Ding Tiansheng values this child very much, as long as I stand by the river with him in my arms, Ding Tiansheng will have some scruples, and Gong Pengju's subordinates will not dare to cross the bridge to chase you. Go quickly, it's too late to hesitate. ”
Ye Ming knew that the child she was holding was Ding Tiansheng's son, and he also knew that what she said was very reasonable, but from her tone and demeanor, he felt a strong taste of despair, and speculated that after she escaped, she might choose to commit suicide; Even if he didn't commit suicide, it is estimated that Gong Pengju would kill her......
So, he said to Su Xueling in an unquestionable tone: "Sister Ling, if you want to go, the two of us will go together, I can't leave you alone in this tiger's den wolf's lair." If you don't come with me, I'd rather go back to the barracks again, and then we both might have a chance to live. ”
Su Xueling choked up and said, "Secretary Ye, Ding Tiansheng is already preparing to escape, and he will come to Youlong Valley in three days at most." I heard his mistress say that once Ding Tiansheng leaves the border, he will immediately order Gong Pengju to kill you, so you must not go back to the barracks. Now that it's almost dark, after you flee into the mountains alone, Gong Pengju's people shouldn't be able to find you. And I have hostages in my hands now, and they won't dare to hunt you down. But if we run away together, you have to be distracted to take care of me, and I can't run fast, and the final result will definitely be that no one can escape. Hurry up and run, there are not many people in the barracks now, and Gong Peng can't spare more manpower to chase you. If he mobilizes some powerful killers from the front line to come back, you won't be able to run away when you want to! ”
Ye Ming stared at the child in her arms, and wanted to persuade her to take the child as a hostage and run away together, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't hold back: As the secretary of the county party committee, even if he faced death, he must not use the life of a child as a condition to blackmail his opponent. Moreover, the escape road is full of dangers, in case of an accident that hurts this child, even if he successfully escapes, he will not be able to get over it on his conscience......
Seeing him staring at Ding Chenxi, Su Xueling immediately understood his thoughts, shook her head and said: "Secretary Ye, I was forced to take this child out as a hostage, in fact, no matter what happens, I will not hurt him, this is my bottom line as a man, but Ding Tiansheng doesn't understand!" If you want me to run away with him, I can't. ”
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Sister Ling, I am also like you, and I will not use that child as a bargaining chip in exchange for my life." However, you must follow me immediately, if you hesitate, Gong Pengju's people will chase after you. You can put him on the ground, or give it to the soldier behind me, and he'll take him back. As you said, it is getting dark now, and if we flee into the mountains, they won't be able to find us, at least at night. If you can't run, I can carry you. ”
Su Xueling knew that it would be absolutely impossible for a person like Ye Ming to abandon a woman who saved his life and run away alone. If he hesitated any longer, if Gong Pengju really mobilized dozens of top masters to chase after him, Ye Ming's martial arts might kill him no matter how high his martial arts were.
So, she gritted her teeth, bent down and put Ding Chenxi on the ground, then turned her head and shouted to the soldier who was standing far behind: "You take this child back and hand it over to Li Xiaoqin." ”
After saying this, she immediately followed Ye Ming across the chain bridge and ran northeast along a small mountain road.
Just a few minutes after Ye Ming and Su Xueling crossed the chain bridge, four armed men armed with rifles and pistols rushed out of the barracks, quickly crossed the chain bridge, began to pursue along the mountain road, and kept shooting in the direction where Ye Ming and Su Xueling had fled.
Due to the rugged and crooked mountain road, although the pursuers kept shooting, they did not hurt Ye Ming and Su Xueling. The two of them first ran desperately to the northeast along an uphill road, but because Su Xueling's physical strength was too poor, she climbed about a kilometer, she was already tired with a sore waist and weak legs, dizziness, and her steps became slower and heavier, and later, it was almost Ye Ming dragging her up.
The four people who pursued behind were special combat team members who had been running and fighting in the mountains and forests all year round, and their physical strength was similar to Ye Ming's, and the speed of the pursuit was very fast. When Ye Ming and Su Xueling were about to climb to the top of a small mountain, the four people were only more than two hundred meters away from them, during which they kept shooting, and the bullets "swooped" past Ye Ming and Su Xueling. But in this way, they are slower to escape.
When he was about to reach the top of the small hill, Ye Ming felt that if he ran like this again, he would be caught up by the people behind him sooner or later, so he let go of Su Xueling's hand, gasped and told her: "Sister Ling, you hold on, grit your teeth and run to the top of the hillside, and then quickly go down the mountain." You'll have a lot easier when you go down, so keep running down and don't stop. I'm here to stop the enemy and buy you a little time. Don't worry, I'm running much faster than you, and I'll catch up with you. ”
Although Su Xueling was scared and worried about Ye Ming's safety, she knew that the enemy's pursuit was very fast, if Ye Ming didn't shoot and snipe at them, in another three or five minutes, they would catch up, and then both of them would die.
So, no longer hesitating, she ran desperately along the looming mountain path to the top of the hill.
