Chapter 970: Black Robe
These days, because of the incident of Liang Guoyu's party, the news of the change in Beijing has been loud, and in the short moment when Tang Ning and Xiaoxiao were looking at the stars in the courtyard, there were already two groups of patrolling guards running outside.
Xiaoxiao looked up at the bright stars in the sky and asked, "Brother, my mother said before that after a person dies, he will become a star in the sky, and he will look at us in the sky, isn't that so?" ”
"Perhaps......" Tang Ning couldn't bear to debunk the girl's fantasy, telling her that the stars in the sky were actually huge air masses, which were stable by the outward radiation pressure generated by the internal nuclear fusion reaction and the inward gravitational force, let alone tell her that there were no Chang'e and Guishu on the moon, it was just a big stone with potholes.
Tang Ning walked over, gently touched her head, and asked, "Homesick?" ”
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "This is my home." ”
Tang Ning was very satisfied with her answer, and he also very much hoped that Xiaoxiao would regard this place as her home, some cruel things had happened to her, and Tang Ning hoped to be here to help her slowly heal the wounds in her heart.
Tang Ning was about to speak, but suddenly found that a certain piece of the night sky in the distance lit up without warning.
The little eyes also looked in that direction, and said in surprise: "It's on fire over there!" ”
"That's not a fire." Tang Ning shook his head and said, "That's someone firing arrows." ”
Downing had led the soldiers, and he knew what it was like to fire a rocket salvo, and from that dark red, he could see countless faint fires.
Downing could guess at a glance that there were no less than three hundred archers there.
And the number of archers in a team is only a small part, so it can be seen that there are at least two thousand people there.
In Jingshi, after nightfall, the only one who can gather so many archers is Jin Yuwei.
With so many Jin Yuwei dispatched, combined with the movements of the Jingshi in recent days, it is not difficult to guess that it must be Liang Guoyu's party that has been discovered.
The light of the fire lit up the sky, but the place was far away, and Downing looked at it for a while, and then prepared to go back to his room and sleep.
What the hell is going on there, news will come out tomorrow.
However, as soon as he was about to return to the room, someone reported that Jin Yuwei was knocking on the door outside.
When Tang Ning came to the gate of the mansion, a Jin Yuwei general immediately bowed down and said, "I've seen Tang Xiang." ”
Tangning looked at him and asked, "What happened?" ”
The young general said: "We found traces of Liang Guoyu's party, but in the process of encirclement and suppression, they escaped a few people, and those people fled in this direction, Tang Xiang must be more careful tonight." ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
With Lao Zheng and Wan Yanyan's master here, if Liang Guoyu really dares to come, it will just be a self-defeating net, so don't worry.
After the young general reminded Tang Ning, he arched his hand and said: "Tang Xiang is careful himself, the last general will go to search for them......"
After sending these golden feather guards away, Tang Ning closed the door of the mansion and returned to his courtyard.
Bang!
He had just stepped into the courtyard, and suddenly there was a muffled sound in front of him, and Tang Ning looked over vigilantly and saw two more figures in the courtyard.
Gongsun Ying was covered in blood, and there was a person on her back, Bai Jin stood beside her, looking also very embarrassed, even the sleeves of her clothes were burned in half, emitting a pungent smell.
Almost at the same time as they jumped off the wall, the figure of Lao Zheng and the middle-aged woman also quickly appeared in the courtyard.
The next moment, Xiaoxiao also stood beside Tang Ning.
Tang Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's you." ”
Bai Jin looked at Tang Ning and said anxiously: "We were discovered by the court of Chen State, for Mei'er's sake, save us......"
Before Tang Ning could speak, the middle-aged man behind Gongsun Ying suddenly said loudly: "Elder Bai, Elder Gongsun, kill them, kill them quickly......"
"Shut up!" Bai Jin's face changed greatly, and he snorted, and was about to say something to Tang Ning, but it was too late.
Tang Ning looked at the middle-aged man on Gongsun Ying's back, and asked with a smile, "Who are you going to kill?" ”
Bai Jin hurriedly said: "This is a misunderstanding......
Tang Ning said: "Lao Zheng, tie them up and send them to Jin Yuwei." ”
Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying were about to make a move, but their bodies suddenly trembled, as if they were being targeted by a fierce beast, and they didn't even dare to move.
Gongsun Ying felt more pressure from Lao Zheng than before, raised his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Tang Ning, he is His Royal Highness King Wu, he doesn't know your identity, if you let us go this time, we will definitely repay us a hundred times in the future!" ”
"Spare you?" Tang Ning sneered and said: "Then let you go to Qiandi to make trouble, what do you think, since you have sent it to the door this time, I am not welcome......
Bai Jin looked at him and said loudly: "For the sake of me, I have the grace to save my life and raise Mei'er, please let His Royal Highness King Wu go this time!" ”
Tang Ning was expressionless and said, "Lao Zheng, it's tied." ”
Lao Zheng went to the firewood room to get the rope and came to the three of them, but he didn't make a move, but stood in place and looked up at the front.
At the same time, the middle-aged woman's gaze also looked over, and she pulled the two scimitars from her waist as if she were facing a great enemy.
Tang Ning looked along the line of sight of the two and found a figure standing on the courtyard wall in front of him.
The figure was shrouded in black robes all over his body, and even if the Tang family's courtyard was lit up around the lamp, he couldn't see the face under the black robe.
"Senior Sister Bai, Senior Sister Gongsun, after so many years, you haven't grown at all." The figure stood on the courtyard wall, and an old voice came from under the black robe.
Listening to the voice should be a woman, and she is not young.
Unexpectedly, they still had a fellow party to escape, Tang Ning looked at Lao Zheng, and was about to ask him to arrest that person together, but Lao Zheng's eyes looked in that direction, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Tang, you take Xiaoxiao to go first, go to Jin Yuwei......"
Tang Ning took a step to his side, his face becoming solemn.
He had never seen Lao Zheng so serious, and he let him and Xiaoxiao go first, which showed that in his heart, even if he joined forces with Wan Yanyan's master, he was not sure that he would win against this person.
Tang Ning took a small hand and was about to leave, but the next moment, the cold hairs on his whole body couldn't help but stand up, because it was just a blink of an eye, and the figure that was standing on the courtyard wall just now suddenly appeared in front of him.
Almost at the same moment, two sword lights lit up in the courtyard.
Tang Ning saw the swords and lights in the courtyard, but the figure seemed to be strolling leisurely, and it was very casual to avoid the joint efforts of Lao Zheng and the middle-aged woman.
Bang! Bang!
After two muffled sounds, the figure took a step back, and Lao Zheng and the middle-aged woman took a few steps back before they could stop their figures.
repelled the figures of the two with a crushing momentum, but they did not continue to attack, but stood in place, looked at Lao Zheng, and exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for many years, General Zheng's sword technique has become more refined......"
