Chapter 166: Who is the attacker?
When the sky was bright, Tang Ming's tent was lit up, and the two small servants who were in charge of his daily life were busy. Boil water to cook and prepare for washing for the master, the groom also prepared a carriage and waited outside the tent, more than 20 guards put on new clothes, and wiped the embroidered spring knife they were wearing, today is Tang Ming going to Seoul to see the new king, and he did not dare to be careless.
The hateful Tinker was stuffed by Fang Xiaoru to his side last night, saying that Tinker would be responsible for taking care of his daily life in the future. I almost didn't sleep last night, and I finally fell asleep but was woken up by the chirping of the girl.
With two big dark circles under his eyes, Tang Ming stood and continued to sleep and let the towel in Xiao Ding's hand be applied on his face, he didn't close his eyes for two consecutive nights, and his sleepiness had already drained his whole body's energy, and he couldn't even stand on his feet at the moment, if it weren't for Xiao Xi supporting him behind him, it is estimated that he would have been lying on the ground.
Serious occasions naturally have to be dressed seriously, Xiao Ding took out Tang Ming's official official uniform to put on for him, pulled his hair and put on a hat, and tied the decorative sword to his waist, and finally Xiao Ding checked it from top to bottom and found nothing wrong, which was quite a sense of accomplishment.
Tang Ming dressed up seriously, and he instantly became much more handsome than before, and he saw that Xiao Ding, who was at the age of Huaichun, had a red face. This was the first time she had seen Tang Ming formally dressed, and her handsome demeanor made her movements behind her a little cramped.
A bowl of white rice porridge with a little kimchi, Xiao Ding fed him with a spoon to eat, Tang Ming was finally a little sober until this moment. Pushed into the carriage by the three of them, Li Ba had been waiting for a long time, he was now acting as Tang Ming's personal guard, and this position was asked by himself to Tang Ming, saying that it was so worry-free.
Originally, Tang Ming had the intention of arranging him in the army, which could be regarded as Li Ba's old job, but this guy had been by Tang Ming's side for a long time recently, and he didn't want to go back to his old job.
The sun hasn't seen it yet, but there is a big and round moon hanging in the sky, everyone says that the moon is the circle of his hometown, but Tang Ming is very doubtful about the authenticity of this sentence at the moment, because he still doesn't have a home that really belongs to him, so he doesn't even have a hometown, but when he floats outside, most of the moons he sees are big and round.
The weather outside was cold, stimulated by the cool breeze, Tang Ming was a lot more sober, his mouth was full of white air, he tightened the small blanket on his body, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Damn fat man sits on the throne, you don't have to come to toss people so early!" This ghost weather is so cold, and I have to travel a long way to Seoul, and I will die! ”
The people and carriages boarded the treasure ship waiting at the pier, and the treasure ship began to slowly depart under the shouts of the sailors. Li Ba took off his shoes and quickly got into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this Wuxiong has sat on the throne of the ancient dynasty, what kind of official will he give us in the past this time?" ”
Tang Ming also wanted to take advantage of the time to make up for sleep, but he was disturbed by Li Ba and glanced at him dislikely, and said lazily: "It doesn't matter what kind of official you are, as long as you can let me legally own Jeju Island, I don't need to care about anything else." ”
The sky is not yet fully bright, and the view from the sea is not good, and the sailing speed of the treasure ship is slowed down, but fortunately, Jeju Island is not far from the seaside town, and it will be there in half an hour.
On the shore, Li Ba also got out of the carriage and continued to drive the carriage towards Seoul, and more than 20 guards guarded the carriage in the middle, paying attention to the surrounding environment with a vigilant expression. The ancient dynasty country is currently the safest on Jeju Island, and there has just been a change here, so they are afraid that some remnants of the Wutai faction will be unfavorable to the Hou Ye, so they are extra cautious.
The clatter of horses' hooves resounded along the forest path, and after walking two miles through the grove to Seoul, the calm of the road made everyone begin to let their guard down, and the guards began to talk quietly.
At this moment, several small birds suddenly fluttered their wings on several large trees in front of them and rushed into the black sky in panic. Li Ba noticed this anomaly for the first time, but unfortunately, before he could raise his voice to warn, a sharp sound of sharp objects breaking through the air sounded in his ears.
"There's an ambush!" As soon as Li Ba turned around, the whole person immediately threw himself into the carriage and pressed heavily on Tang Ming's body.
"Uh......"
After two or three muffled grunts, two guards at the front of the line were immediately carried from their horses to the ground, scarlet blood gushing out of their necks, killing them instantly.
The guards drew out the embroidered spring knives at their waists, stared vigilantly at the woods in front of them with their backs against the carriage, and two guards held their bows and arrows, listening attentively to the movement ahead.
Tang Ming was coldly pounced by Li Ba, almost out of breath, and was about to scold him for some nervousness, when he heard the movement outside, he immediately swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Li Ba was anxious to protect Tang Ming, and when the sound of the sharp object breaking through the air sounded just now, he thought of what kind of secret weapon it was, so he knocked Tang Ming down first. Now that he was fine, he turned around and got out of the carriage again, with three feathered arrows nailed to the door frame.
It was three points deep, just where he was just staying, and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Li Ba couldn't help but congratulate himself on his good luck. If his movements had slowed down a little bit, he would have been a dead corpse by now.
When he saw the death of the two guards in front of him, Li Ba was furious! These twenty or so guards were all selected by him from the army, and they were trained according to Tang Ming's body forging technique, and now they are considered elites not to mention Dacheng.
Two lives were lost in a moment of negligence, and in addition to grief, he was also full of hatred for the unknown enemy hiding in the woods. The sharp arrow did not come again, Li Ba raised one hand, stretched out four fingers, and waved it into the woods.
The four guards were immediately ordered to leave the group, and in groups of two, they rushed into the woods on two sides, and their figures had just disappeared from everyone's sight, when the sound of weapons colliding was heard instantly. Li Ba frowned, waved his hand, and called the four guards to follow.
From the dense collision of weapons, he knew that there were definitely many enemies in ambush, and he was afraid that the enemy would be too powerful, so he would be defeated by only four guards, and for the sake of safety, he called four more. In this case, it would have been best for him to bring someone into battle himself, but Li Ba would not dare to do this, he was afraid that he would fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
What happened outside, Tang Ming in the carriage didn't know, he only knew that he had been ambushed. In this ancient dynasty, he didn't seem to offend anyone, who was going to be unfavorable to him, and he was just as angry as he was puzzled.
Tang Ming's first thought was to think of Jianwen, but he was quickly denied by himself, he didn't believe that Jianwen had the ability to extend his tentacles to the ancient dynasty. If it weren't for him, who else would have wanted his life in this ancient dynasty? Could it be Takeo? (To be continued.) )
