Chapter 408: Desperate Situation
After killing the fat-faced man, Tang Ming immediately put away the flintlock pistol, took the guards and entourage without even the carriage, and rode on horseback to follow the direction that little Jasmine had left. It didn't take long for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info for Tang Ming and his party to disappear into the jungle path, and behind them, those Bright Sect members who came to support had just arrived.
An old man, dressed in white from top to bottom, came slowly in a carriage, which stopped beside the fat-faced man's carriage. The old man in white glanced at the fat-faced man, his eyes showed a thick murderous intent, the old man was the foreign affairs elder of the Bright Sect, and the fat-faced man in front of him who was shot in the head by Tang Ming was the only son of the old man.
The old man has known Tang Ming for a long time, and the old man knows the truth about the two elders and the helmsman who came to assassinate him and was killed. Therefore, he knew it from the moment Tang Ming arrived in Nanjing, but he did not startle the snake, but waited for the perfect opportunity to kill Tang Ming in one fell swoop.
But this unfilial son who doesn't know the height of the sky, in the mentality of being eager for success and profit, received the news that the sect leader was going to intercept and kill Tang Ming. With his thirty henchmen, he quietly came to intercept Tang Ming, and when the old man learned about it, he immediately brought people to follow, but it was still too late.
More than thirty corpses showed that his son had been wiped out, but there were no casualties on Tang Ming's side here. Lying on the ground were all his son's men, and after some inspection, the old man looked at his right-hand men who had already checked the scene.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed in green clothes, he was thin, and there were strange lights flashing in his small eyes from time to time, and after holding his fist at the old man, he said loudly: "Fourth Elder Qiqi, Tang Ming's thief fled from the path on the edge of the forest, and the horseshoe prints on the ground have not yet dried. ”
The old man snorted coldly with an indifferent expression, nodded and signaled to pursue, and then got out of the carriage alone and rode a black healthy horse. With a group of more than 100 men, he rushed into the forest path where Tang Ming had fled, and chased after him.
Not long after Tang Ming walked forward, he saw a carriage parked in front of him without horses, and he knew that this was because the guards had abandoned the burden of the carriage in order to facilitate his escape. Tang Ming paused here for a moment to discern the direction, then accelerated his speed and continued to move forward. After passing the hill in front of him, he reached the boundary of Suzhou, and Tang Ming knew that the guards would flee in the direction of Suzhou, because they had already made an appointment to meet in Suzhou City.
For the sake of safety, Tang Ming also sent another guard to make a detour back to Nanjing, to explain to the emperor what happened here, and to go to the treasure shipyard to take his fleet and the people of the sharpshooter battalion to Suzhou to support him. For the Bright Sect members who dared to fight their own ideas, Tang Ming would never let them go easily, the two sides were now in a situation of fire and water, either you died or I died. Kindness at such times is irresponsible to oneself and one's family.
After crossing the mountain, Tang Ming parted ways with the guards who went to report the news, and he no longer pursued the traces of the guards with little Jasmine, but chose to take a shortcut to Suzhou City. In his mind, the target he was going to deal with this time was himself, and his detour could also distract the Illuminati and lead away the enemy.
At the top of the hill where Tang Ming and the guards who reported the news parted ways, the old man and the others stopped, and after the middle-aged man investigated again, he came back and said to the old man: "Four elders, there are three traces, two are going in the direction of Suzhou City, but there are traces of the old and the new, obviously one was left by someone an hour ago, and the other new trace is obviously walked by many people. Then there was the trace that looked like only one horse, and turned the road in the direction of Nanjing. ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's message, the old man pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Where do you think that kid Tang Ming will flee?" ”
The middle-aged man pointed to the direction of Suzhou without hesitation and said: "He must be heading towards Suzhou City, which is less than five miles away from Suzhou City, that is, you can reach it by walking two miles down this mountain." The way back to Nanjing is too far, and if he returns, it is very likely that he will run into us, so his subordinates are sure that he will go in the direction of Suzhou. ”
As soon as he heard that Tang Ming would go in the direction of Suzhou, a cold smile appeared on the old man's face, looking at Suzhou City at the foot of the mountain, he said to himself: "Tang Ming, the old man will see where you can escape this time, and the new and old hatreds will be broken with you today." ”
Thinking of his son's deathless appearance, the old man clenched his fists tightly, and he did not immediately follow them, but waited for the signal at the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain had already been surrounded by the people of the three elders, as long as Tang Ming stepped down the mountain, he would be discovered immediately, and then it would be time for him to pursue.
While he was pondering, suddenly a white smoke rose from the southern direction at the foot of the mountain, and the old man who had been staring at the foot of the mountain finally showed a hideous smile and led everyone to rush to the place where the white smoke was emitting.
The guards had already descended the hill with little Jasmine, and they were about to rush out of the woods, but suddenly a group of people rushed out in front of them and blocked their way. The guards were not wearing official uniforms, but were dressed as civilians, but unfortunately little Jasmine's dress at the moment was particularly eye-catching.
Blocking their way was another wave of Illuminati people who had been waiting here for a long time, that is, the people of the Three Elders! In this action against Tang Ming, Jianwen made a big vow to kill Tang Ming in one fell swoop. Therefore, three groups of men and horses were directly sent to ambush early, but the guards were obviously not the target they were waiting for.
But Xiao Jasmine's dress as an official lady attracted their attention, and everyone who intercepted them knew that Tang Ming was traveling with his daughter this time. And the little girl in front of her must be Tang Ming's daughter, and it must be a great achievement to be able to catch Tang Ming's daughter, and in an instant, more than twenty Bright Sect members who knew the inside story surrounded the guards.
A big man laughed and said to his partner: "Everyone don't make a noise, after Tang Ming's daughter is caught, how about we share the credit equally?" ”
A yin and yang strange voice sounded: "Those who see it have a share, I also propose yours!" As he spoke, he smiled and pulled out the weapon on his body, which was actually a big axe weighing fifteen pounds.
Everyone agreed with the big man's proposal, and drew their weapons and approached the guards. The guard had a look of despair in his eyes, but he was not willing to be restrained, and patted little Jasmine on the back to wake her up from her sleep. Then he whispered: "Miss, wait for your subordinates to break out of the encirclement for you, you want to drill into the jungle, don't be caught by these people, do you know?" (To be continued.) )
