Chapter 542: Escaped
The clashes on Haidong Road started quickly and ended faster.
In Baicaotang, the real confrontation between the two sides was not long, except for a few neighbors who were next to each other who were awakened by the noise next door, the other families were not alarmed.
It wasn't until the end that the old grandmaster roared angrily that he finally made the movement bigger.
For a while, within a radius of hundreds of meters nearby, people suddenly barked and panicked.
There were many houses around, and soon the lights came on, and some dared to open the windows to see what was going on outside.
But before they could observe, they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire in the night sky, and the surrounding people immediately fell into a panic, and the lights that had just been lit went out almost instantly, and then there was no sound.
In the troubled times, it seems that even dogs know the danger, and Huan, who barked just now, immediately stopped saying a word as soon as the gun rang out.
"Bang!"
"Bang ......"
Standing in the Baicao Hall, the old sect master who was furious because Tie Xiong and the others fled, was beckoning the remaining dozen or so black-clothed people to dig the tunnel that was blown up, and after hearing the gunfire outside, his eyes were even more murderous, and he chased him out with a dodge.
The man in black who was digging the tunnel was also about to chase after him, but suddenly he heard the voice of the old grandmaster: "Keep digging!" ”
The remaining dozen or so men in black had to stop in place.
There were loud gunshots in the distance, but the hundred grass hall was quiet, and as soon as the old grandmaster left, the dozen or so black-clothed people did not immediately move, but looked at the collapsed tunnel silently.
Someone's eyes couldn't help but turn, and the two corpses of the Grandmaster who were already lying motionless on the ground, their faces immediately turned pale.
"Keep digging!" Finally, in the silence, someone still spoke in a low tone.
When they heard this, they stopped looking at the corpse and stepped forward to continue excavation.
It's just that, compared to just now, their movements are undoubtedly not so fast.
……
The old grandmaster was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the direction of the end of the street where the gunfire had just started.
At this moment, the armament is still there, but the number of people is significantly smaller than before.
And just behind the blockade line, there were more than a dozen corpses of soldiers of the flag country lying on the ground.
The old grandmaster suddenly appeared, and some soldiers found out, but they didn't recognize him at the first time, so they directly raised their guns at him and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The old grandmaster had a cold face, waved his hand and knocked the soldier away, and he didn't look at the soldier, but shouted in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”
Hearing his voice, the soldiers were shocked and recognized that this old man, who was charred and blackened, and even his beard was roasted, was actually the Grandmaster.
"Your Excellency!" A leader hurriedly came up to salute and reported: "The enemy surrendered and fled after raiding us, and Lord Lei has already gone to chase us." ”
"Surrender?" The old grandmaster paused, some couldn't react, Tie Xiong and the others escaped through the tunnel, they didn't catch anyone at all, where did they come from.
But suddenly, the old sect master's eyes changed, and he asked, "You mean, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy?" ”
The leader was suppressed by the momentum of the old grandmaster, and replied repeatedly: "It's the shopkeeper, just now the two mages escorted him here, and he was going to take him back together after the operation, but I didn't expect him to take advantage of our unpreparedness, suddenly attacked, killed more than a dozen of us, and then fled." ”
When the old grandmaster heard this, his heart suddenly became blocked.
So many people died in one trip, and even two grandmasters died, but now it's okay, and even the only trophy is gone.
His face became more and more pale, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, but he was careless.
He saw all the process of arresting the shopkeeper, but he didn't see the flaws at that time.
Every detail of that time flashed through his mind, and he finally determined that the other party must have seen a flaw in their bait when he opened the door.
That's why they will be on guard, pretending that they can't resist when they do it, and paralyzing them.
Thinking of this, he even suspected that the bait deliberately showed a flaw, and his anger swelled more and more, his eyes swept around with murderous awe, and asked coldly, "What about that bait?" Did he also run away together? ”
"No, the shopkeeper wanted to save him and go with him, but we reacted quickly and couldn't let him succeed and killed the bait." The soldier replied.
In fact, the soldier didn't tell the truth, it wasn't because they reacted quickly that Shopkeeper Lin couldn't save Lao Xu.
At that time, Shopkeeper Lin and Lao Xu were pressed behind the blockade line by two black-clothed men at the same time, Lao Lin saw the opportunity, made a decision immediately, and suddenly attacked the killer when the two black-clothed guards did not expect it at all, and solved the two people very smoothly.
Just as he was about to take advantage of the fact that the banner barbarians had not yet arrived, he covered Lao Xu's mouth, and under Lao Xu's frightened gaze, motioned for him to flee with him.
Lao Xu nodded in agreement, however, when Lao Lin let go of him and was about to take him to escape, he didn't expect Lao Xu to suddenly return, screaming and running towards the banner barbarians.
It was precisely because of Lao Xu's actions that the banner barbarians reacted quickly.
Directly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the shopkeeper Lin's side, and shot directly at them without hesitation, and Lao Xu was killed on the spot.
Lao Lin couldn't save him, so he could only fight to break through the siege, and after killing more than a dozen barbarian soldiers, he escaped with difficulty.
The old grandmaster didn't chase after him, they came a total of four grandmasters, just to prevent all kinds of emergencies.
Now that two have died, and there is still one left, he has already chased him, so there is no need for him to go.
As soon as he turned around, he went directly towards Baicaotang again, the most critical thing at the moment was Tie Xiong's side, he had already found out before, Tie Xiong and that old Dao were both seriously injured, and now it was the end of the strong crossbow, a great opportunity to clear them.
Explain, let the soldiers immediately block the surrounding area within a radius of ten miles, once the tunnel exit is cleared, react at any time, and capture Tiexiong and others.
Back in Baicaotang, with him personally in charge, the man in black quickly dug through the tunnel.
The old grandmaster took the black-clothed monk and went directly to chase him, and not far from the tunnel, there were bloodstains everywhere, obviously the final explosion was too hasty, not only injured the old grandmaster, but even they themselves were seriously injured.
"Chase, they can't run far!"
As soon as the old grandmaster gave an order, he observed the traces on the tunnel, and galloped first, followed by all the black-clothed people.
However, soon Qiman was not so optimistic, because this tunnel was arranged with more than one exit.
At each exit, there are traces of someone going out, but at the same time, there are traces of continuing ahead.
Qiman can't tell whether the person who goes out is Tiexiong, so when they encounter the entrance of the cave, they can't ignore it, and they must go up and notify the soldiers and horses to block this area and search for it in a carpet way.
Originally, one blackfriar could have been sent up directly, and the others continued to chase along the tunnel, but above each exit, a boulder had been suppressed.
The entrance to the cave is not large, only one person can enter and exit, and it is impossible for ordinary people to remove the boulder from the inside.
Even the black-clothed mage beside the old grandmaster couldn't do it, at least he had to take the grandmaster's hand.
There was no way, the old grandmaster knew that this was to delay his footsteps, but he could only take action himself.
In this way, after passing through four intersections along the way, I finally completed this tunnel that is about five kilometers long, but full of twists and turns.
In the end, the old grandmaster came out of the last tunnel with a gloomy face, and it was obvious that he had gained nothing from this trip.
Now he has no spare strength, but he doesn't know where to pursue, and the only thing he can count on is the result of a heavy search there.
………………
……
"What did you say?" Kim Jae-sung suddenly jumped up from his seat, slapped the table hard, his hair was open, the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into substance, and he scolded the person on the other end of the phone: "How can this be? ”
On the side, Xu Minghou, the adjutant who was originally sitting under him, was startled on the spot when he saw him, and hurriedly stood up.
I saw that Kim Jae-sung's face had become more and more red with the voice on the other side of the phone, and he yelled at the phone angrily: "Bastards, you are simply not worthy of being soldiers of the imperial country!" If Tetsuo escapes, you don't have to come back! ”
After that, Kim Jae-sung slapped the phone on the table, and then fell silent again, standing there without saying a word, his face was hard to see.
Seeing this, Xu Minghou didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he was afraid that there was an accident in his action, and he was about to ask carefully.
But suddenly, I saw that Kim Jae-sung had already picked up the teacup on the table, slammed it on the ground and said, "What Divine Sect disciple, what Great Grandmaster...... Your Excellency"
"The handsome man is angry!" Xu Minghou's face changed drastically, lest he really scold something unpleasant, so he hurriedly stopped it loudly.
Kim Jae-sung was indeed about to be angry to the extreme, but the last reason still made him shut up, closed his eyes tightly, and wrote down the violent rise and fall of his chest before he slowly calmed down.
Xu Minghou went to close the door, walked back and saw that he was calmer, and then asked carefully: "Dashuai, what happened?" ”
Kim Jae-sung's red eyes looked at him, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
This made Xu Minghou's heart more and more uneasy, but he didn't dare to urge, so he could only wait quietly.
Finally, Kim Jae-sung spoke slowly, and his tone was low: "The information is accurate, Tetsuo is indeed in that pharmacy, and our people rushed in and blocked them. ”
When Xu Minghou heard this, his face did not show any joy, he knew that there must have been an accident afterward.
Sure enough, Jin Jae-sung may have been extremely angry at this moment, and he actually sneered: "Do you dare to believe that we dispatched four grandmasters, more than twenty elite disciples of the Divine Sect, and hundreds of elite soldiers to raid the opponent when they were defenseless. They even told me that two of our Grandmasters had died, twelve elite disciples of the Divine Sect had been killed or wounded, and many soldiers had died......
"What?" After hearing this, Xu Minghou was also instantly shocked, and directly lost his voice: "How can this be?" Is this a trap at all? ”
"Trap?" Xu Minghou was shocked, but Kim Jae-sung calmed down instead, and sneered more and more: "It is said that at that time, there were two grandmasters in the pharmacy, Tie Xiong was one of them, and there were less than ten black-clothed guards. ”
