Chapter 233: The Meng clan is in turmoil and turns back
"Since it is the will of the gods, there is no way to do it." Meng Shu made up his mind and stood up. He had been waiting for Zhu Rong's words. The word of the priest is equivalent to a holy decree, which has to be obeyed.
A pair of cavalry galloped out of the Mon city and headed east. Pang Tong, who saw this in the distant woodland, chuckled at Xueyue on the side and said, "It's time to go back." β
In order to confirm whether these cavalry arrived in Xinggu County or Jianning County, Pang Tong deliberately followed his horse for a distance, but unexpectedly, on a plain, a group of cavalry appeared and chased from the rear. Pang Tong and Xue Yue walked parallel to them, and the two of them were in the wooded area in the distance. but they were on the plains. I could only hear the people behind shouting: "Stop! β
The cavalry in front realized that it was their own men who were desperately chasing, and turned around in confusion. Unexpectedly, these chasing people who greeted them were as fierce as the pursuers, and they drew their swords and slashed for a while.
"What!"
Pang Tong seemed to have seen a terrible situation, and he couldn't help but ride out. Xue Yue hurriedly caught up.
The latecomers had just killed all the forerunners and were still examining the bodies.
"Someone!"
They found Pang Tong and Xue Yue. Get into combat right away. After all, Pang Tong already held two iron swords.
The cavalrymen remained very calm in place, as if waiting for the rabbit. But their confident smile turned into a miserable pale expression in the next moment. Pang Tong's sword flashed like a flash, six people fell to the ground, and seven people fell silently from their horses, and they were killed by darts.
"Why did you kill them all again!" Pang Tong said angrily.
"Why do you say me? Didn't you kill too? Xue Yue said angrily: "It's really good to be kind." β
"I want a live mouth!" Pang Yi, who tried to explain his intentions just now, unified his face with displeasure. Mainly because things didn't seem to be working according to their plan, which made him feel terrible. Those who went forward were obviously messengers, and should go to the territory of his tribe. And the latecomers were also soldiers of the Mon tribe, but they were to kill the messengers. Then there is only one possibility.
Pang Tong took Xueyue and rode to the side of Tucheng again, only to see that the city gate was closed, there was no flag on the wall, and the archers were full.
"Cut, wait again." Pang Tong's heart was namelessly on fire.
At night, Pang Tong walked briskly on the plain like a wild beast. He and Yukitsuki go up the wall with ropes. There were 100 guards at the head of the wall, all facing outward. It's a pity that these guards are also negligent, and it is difficult to detect those who are like black cats in the night. After the two reached the top of the wall, they came to the inner land again, and stood firmly.
It is generally a military village, and it is generally a residential area. And in the innermost part of the mountain wall is the area where the patriarch and other high-ranking people live. Three patrolmen leaned into a room and chatted. Pang Tong and Xue Yue hid on the other side of the house. This room is inhabited by people, and it looks like a warehouse.
"What should I do?" Someone threw out the question of having a strong smell of concern.
"What else can I do, they are all leaders, and our little soldiers will watch the excitement."
"It's crazy to tie up the priest and the patriarch, isn't it?"
"But Meng Gang has military power, and the patriarch is careless at all. Now a few elders of the Meng clan have no use to speak, after all, everything is useless when the patriarch dies. Meng Gang must sit in the position of patriarch, what can you do with these elders? β
"It's just their own business." This last sentence is extremely irresponsible, ignoring his previous leader. It can also be seen from this that the class consciousness of the Mon people is too strong, which has affected the centripetal force of the patriarch.
The three of them chatted casually for a few words and left. They appear lazy, as if they have no real allegiance to allegiance, and are powerless in a coup d'Γ©tat.
They crossed an alley, a man at the end raised a torch, the road was lit up, and shadows swayed on the walls.
"I said, I'll get some bars later."
The leader wiped the saliva from his mouth.
"Cowardly? What's this? He added. But the two people behind him still didn't answer this. The reason is simple, they were all held up and put on the ground at the moment they fell. And he was followed by no one he knew.
"If you don't want to drink, I'll get it." When he turned, he punched the door and was kicked in the abdomen. He fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and when he couldn't even speak well in pain, a long sword lit up at his neck, and the cold taste **** the fear in his throat.
Pang Tong, who was holding a torch in one hand, squatted down and whispered, "Come with us." β
The man was taken by them to a hidden corner. He gave a terrified glance at the two of them, one high and one low, in the darkness. These two people must have been able to kill themselves in an instant, and the two companions just now died silently.
"I want to know where Meng Huo is?"
The soldier swallowed, and the softness under his left eye continued to cramp.
"In the ...... In a cell at the foot of the mountain. The soldier's face was dripping with sweat. He's going to pull himself back from the brink of death.
"Where's Zhu Rong?"
"I don't know......" The soldier shook his head, his heart beating violently, as if he thought he would not satisfy the curiosity of these people and would be killed, he felt the blood in his body flow backwards.
"You'd better leave early, there's a lot of people patrolling here." He said right away that it was a good sign. However, Xue Yue didn't think that this person had the value of living, and landed on the soldier's face with an extremely cold gaze.
She pulled out a dagger. The soldier's eyes widened in horror. It's a pity that Pang Tong stepped forward and swept his side face with a kick, and he fainted directly.
"The cleanest way is to kill him, or it will be dangerous for us." As if describing the course of her killer major, Xue Yue said what was in her heart word for word.
"I know, that's what I thought in the past. But I think it's better not to get innocent people involved. These people are not part of a side of the forces, but followers of the swinging situation. β
Pang Tong got up, quickly jumped onto a low wall, and flew to the roof. Xue Yue said coldly: "Both of them were killed, what reason is there to live." Remember, I'm all for you. The dart in his hand shot out and sank into the soldier's head. The soldier, who had just fallen asleep, stopped breathing.
The two of them galloped on the rooftop, and the speed was extremely fast, and from time to time someone noticed something strange from above, but they could not see through the darkness, only that there was a shadow moving, maybe a cat, maybe something else, they thought so, and immediately dispelled the worries in their hearts.
Pang Tong squatted on the side of the road, poked his head out of the wall, and saw a stone castle-like building. It is obvious that so many soldiers outside will not be vegetarians, and there are important people locked up inside. Moreover, there was no window on the wall outside the door, which made Pang Tong even more convinced that this was a cell. But in the face of the garrison of sixteen people, the fire was already flickering, and they could not walk over in a grand manner.
But Pang Tong, who had already changed the clothes of the person he had just been killed, strode out. He was hunched over and looked like a mentally ill patient.
The guards saw him, but they didn't care.
"How's Meng Huo?" His voice was hoarse, and he couldn't hear it clearly unless he listened carefully.
A soldier leaning against the wall by the door with a gun casually said, "What else can you do if you don't eat?" β
"They asked me to persuade him, and it was better if he would readily give way." Pang Tong continued.
"How is that possible?" The soldier on one side frowned. "He's just waiting for death, I don't know......"
"Talk less." Someone reminded.
Pang Tong didn't care about them anymore, pushed open the heavy door, and the stuffy air inside rushed in, and the fire inside was abundant. He walked in, and the prisoners were held in the depths of the wooden pillars on either side. Some people wear gestures like gold and jade bracelets, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. His gaze kept scanning over the men, making judgments. Finally stopped at the cage of a man with a fat body. Because he was entangled in the most chains. Apparently the most dangerous of all men in power is the man in power.
"Open." Pang Tong said to the guard with an indifferent face. "I'm here to deliver the news."
The guard slowly inserted the key into the hole and turned around. After the door opened, Pang Tong walked in and stood still in front of the barefoot cross-legged man.
"No way, it's your last day, and I've decided to kill you." Pang Tong's words, whose face seemed to be buried in the shadows, were cold.
Meng Shu laughed, his fat lips showing a crimson color. His face was swollen and he had apparently been hit a few times. Lift a blue-black, swollen eye.
"Is it so urgent?"
"yes, it's not a good thing you're alive."
"The elders have all defected? These traitors. There was only contempt and resentment in Meng Shu's words.
"Get up, it's time to hit the road." It was as if Pang Tong was sentencing him to death.
"Cut." Meng Shu got up and said: "I am a dignified Meng Huo, but I was betrayed by my own brother, ridiculous!" β
The chains on his body shook and made a sound of metal grinding against each other. But he stood still, as if in defiance. But his hands were tied backwards, and his upper body was almost submerged in the metal chains. He had no means of being brutal anyway.
Pang Tong raised his head slightly at him and showed a wicked smile. Meng shuddered when he saw it, and read the meaning of his smile. He strode out.
"I'm dead, and I'm going to be a ghost and come back and eat you!"
His voice reverberated throughout the cell. Those powerful people who heard this trembled with fear, even Meng Shu was not spared, what would happen to them?
