Chapter 406: Danger lurks

Tang Ming finally took Zhu Gaochi's proposal, and did not go to the early court, nor did he publicize it to the outside world, and took Xiao Jasmine and a few family guards on the road in the early morning light. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Tang Ming did not take a boat this time, but took three carriages along the flat cement road slowly.

There will be such a decision, or because of Xiao Jasmine's request, Tang Ming also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to accompany Xiao Jasmine well. He regarded this trip to Peking as a trip between father and daughter, and wanted to enjoy the joy of family with his daughter.

The little girl's first trip was accompanied by her father, which made her very excited, and she was full of curiosity about the outside after the carriage immediately arrived in Nanjing. Whenever she saw something or something she hadn't seen before, she would pester Tang Ming and ask questions.

Since it was June, the afternoon sun was so scorching that the carriage was like an enclosed oven in the direct sunlight. The father and daughter of the Tang family couldn't stand this kind of weather at all, and when they drove to a wooded area, Tang Ming ordered to find a wooded place to rest on the side of the road.

Although the cement road is good, it is uncomfortable in this hot weather, which will not even stand the heat of the horse's ass, and as soon as the groom unties the reins, he immediately hides under the shade of the tree and eats the tender grass. As soon as Little Jasmine got out of the carriage, she became active again, pulling Tang Ming to giggle and run around on the grassy grass in the shade of the trees.

After a long time, the little girl seemed to be tired of playing, and fell asleep on Tang Ming's lap, Tang Ming instructed his entourage to bring a clean cloth, shake it off and drape it on the grass, and then hold the little girl and lie down on it. He himself also lay down, gently patting the little girl's back, Tang Ming was obviously very tired at the moment, he didn't sleep all night last night, and after getting up in the morning, he was entangled by the little girl all the way, but although he was tired at the moment, he was surprisingly happy.

Not long after Tang Ming lay down, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the road next to him, who was still in such a hurry under this hot day? Tang Ming only glanced at it curiously, and he didn't pay attention to it when he couldn't see the figure. Close your eyes slightly and want to take a nap.

But he did not get what he wanted, and only heard the sound of the horses' hooves not go away from the road, but gradually approached the place where they were resting. A vague voice came, and Tang Ming immediately opened his eyes vigilantly and looked around.

There must be a caravan of more than 30 people, with nearly ten carriages in the middle, slowly approaching Tang Ming's side, they are all talking and laughing as they walk, everything seems to be normal, just like a caravan passing by. But Tang Ming's intuition told him that things would never be so simple.

This pedestrian has a flat road and does not walk, but takes this forest path with potholes, and Tang Ming obviously heard them galloping on the road just now, but when they arrived here, they were not in a hurry to hurry, and they became talking and laughing slowly. Look at their carriage moving slowly, its wheels are always bounced up from the potholes in the ground, and there is no cargo in it.

The general signs made Tang Ming very suspicious, and the entourage and the horseman also returned to Tang Ming's side at this moment, all staring at this group of suspicious caravans with nervous expressions! Tang Ming didn't dare to be careless, picked up the sleeping little Jasmine and handed it to the guards beside him, and ordered her to be carried to the carriage to take care of. He himself turned to face the inexplicable caravan, one of his hands already reaching into his bosom, clutching the flintlock pistol he had hidden with him.

Tang Ming's nervousness didn't seem to affect the oncoming people, they obviously noticed Tang Ming and them as well, but they only glanced at them casually, and then didn't continue to stare at them. Soon the traveling caravan arrived in front of Tang Ming and them, there was nothing wrong with it, the team walked over slowly, and there was still no movement after half of it.

This made Tang Ming's heart settle down a little, and he laughed at himself in his heart that he was too sensitive, and this group of people was not coming for him. But just when Tang Ming had just relieved his air, the caravan that was moving slowly suddenly stopped, and the curtain of the car directly in front of Tang Ming was lifted.

A round fat face appeared in Tang Ming's sight, and the fat-faced man first looked at Tang Ming a few times, and then said impatiently: "You are Tang Ming of Weihai Hou of Daming?" ”

Tang Ming, who was slightly startled, immediately became vigilant, and after carefully looking at the fat-faced man, he found that he didn't know the guy in front of him. Frowning and hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "It's me, I don't know who Your Excellency is and what you do?" ”

The fat-faced man suddenly laughed, and then he suppressed his laughter and said in a tone full of disdain: "It's just a hairy boy, I don't know why the sect leader and his old man are so serious?" ”

Tang Ming's face tightened when the fat-faced man said the word sect leader, and the hand holding the flintlock pistol that had been hidden in his arms was instantly pulled out, pointing at the fat face that was a few feet closer and pulling the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire rang out in this quiet woodland, but it was a pity that Tang Ming did not see the fat-faced man's blood splattered on the ground, but he actually missed it this time. When he pulled out the gun, the fat-faced man had already noticed Tang Ming's subtle movements, and when he saw that Tang Ming took out a flintlock pistol from his arms, he immediately lay down at the bottom of the carriage and narrowly avoided this crisis.

I didn't expect the fat-faced man's reaction to be so fast, Tang Ming saw that he had missed, and after being a little stunned, he dodged and hid behind the tree. The dozen or so guards beside him, along with ten entourage, immediately drew their knives in their hands, completely protecting Tang Ming behind them.

The Bright Sect members who pretended to be merchants were not slow to react, and they took out the long knives hidden from their horses and jumped off the back of their horses, surround Tang Ming and them in an instant. Ming's dangling long knife was shining in the sunlight, emitting dazzling light, seemingly chaotic movements, but it seemed unhurried, Tang Ming knew that this group of people was by no means easy to deal with.

He had already reloaded his bullets, and looked back at the carriage parked more than ten meters in front of him, the guards had been carrying little Jasmine up for a while just now, why did the situation become so bad, but the guards didn't hurry up and drive the carriage to escape first.

The guards in the carriage really wanted to escape, but at this moment, three meters in front of him, there were four Sect of Light members blocking him, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to! The guards who came with them this time all had two flintlock pistols on their bodies, and they were all very sought-after, and the guards were also sure that they could kill the two Sect of Light who were blocking the way in an instant, but the remaining two had no choice.
