Chapter 173: Recover the Treasure, Fight Wisdom!
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, how can I catch it?
Since Sai Mingzhu killed all the people he wanted to kill, and he succeeded in causing the blame, he naturally wouldn't stay here.
Thinking of the treasure that had just been transported out of the cave, Tang Ning immediately led people to catch up after asking the route clearly.
The horse galloped, and in order to hurry, Tang Ning kept slapping the horse's buttocks. She wants to hurry, she has to be faster, faster, so that it is possible to take the things that contain Sai Mingzhu in her hands and change her passive and calculating status.
Riding in the dust, countless insects screamed everywhere.
After being tossed all night, although the soldiers behind were tired, they felt the momentum of Tang Ning, and followed her desperately and moved forward bravely!
Because of the carriage used to transport things, and the things on the carriage were carefully explained that they could not be damaged, Tang Ning chased after him with all his might, and actually saw people who were rectifying and resting at the post station more than ten miles away.
Although it was an ordinary dress, the momentum on Tang Ning's body was very majestic.
Looking at the carriage parked in the post station, Tang Ning jumped off the horse, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind her showed their weapons and surrounded the post house at once.
In the middle of the night, the person in charge of escorting things saw this posture and immediately pulled out the sword in his hand to defend himself. Without any explanation, the two groups suddenly faced each other.
Because the two teams were wearing the clothes of Xiliang soldiers, the person in charge of the post station saw Tang Ning coming over, and immediately saluted and said, "I don't know who is coming, is there any misunderstanding?" ”
"This palace is the eldest princess of Xiliang, but it is Vice General Zhou Yongle's carriage that is stalled here?" As Tang Ning spoke, he showed his waist card.
Zhou Yongle was drinking tea in the house at this time to quench his thirst, and after hearing the movement outside and knowing who it was, he quickly walked out of the house to meet Tang Ning, "Zhou Yongle, under the orders of His Royal Highness, will send the things transported from the thieves' den to the palace." At this time, I passed by the post station and was feeding the horses grain and grass. ”
"Vice Admiral Zhou has worked hard." Tang Ning nodded to Zhou Yongle, and then said to the few horses parked at the door of the post station, "Something happened suddenly, this palace is worried about Vice General Zhou's safety, come to check, come and open the carriage." ”
As soon as Tang Ning's voice fell, the people around her received her eyes, and they picked up their knives and went to cut the big lock outside the carriage.
Thinking of the things in the carriage, Zhou Yongle hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." The contents are not meant to be seen. ”
Unhappy?
Tang Ning frowned and said to Forget Worry, "You personally inspect the contents to see if there is any damage." ”
Downing was subtle, but everyone else could understand what he meant.
Things have changed!
"Yes." Forget the worry and nodded, and the figure came to the front of the carriage. No one saw what he was doing, only the sound of chains breaking, and the big lock in the carriage was smashed.
Lifting the curtain, he forgot that a fire appeared in his hand at some point, and looked inside.
It's just that at first glance, he was stunned.
It took another look before he came to his senses.
It seemed a little incredulous, and I touched it with my hand again.
After it was confirmed, he put down the curtain, paced back to Tang Ning, and said to Zhou Yongle with a smile, "Deputy General Zhou has some ...... in the car Roots? ”
The face of forgetting worries was too delicate, he smiled, and Zhou Yongle's heart trembled. But the words of forgetting worries surprised him later.
"It's obviously a jade statue and a delicate weapon, how can it be a tree root?" Is this a joke?
When Tang Ning heard Zhou Yongle say this, he immediately said to a few people guarding the carriage, "Open the carriage!" ”
With Tang Ning's order, the carriage was suddenly opened.
Under the light of the surrounding torches, the contents of the carriage were presented to everyone.
Fresh unearthed roots, the tender skin on the roots show that it was dug up not long ago. There were no statues in it, but there was a stone in the middle. However, the stone was too common to be indistinguishable from the large boulder on the side of the road.
"How so?" Looking at the things in the carriage, Zhou Yongle looked incredulous. When did the contents drop the package, the lock on it did not change, and the things inside changed.
Tang Ning waved his hand and asked the other carriages to be opened as well.
As a result, everything inside was the same, and there was nothing else except the root stone.
The brother who followed Tang Ning over looked at the contents in disbelief. The people who followed Zhou Yongle to escort the baby saw the things in the car, but they were all dumbfounded, how could this be?
"It's impossible, put it up, lock it. There was no pause along the way, just a little water was fed to the horses at this station. In order to see if those things were hidden, Zhou Yongle picked up the matching sword and immediately slashed towards the root of the tree.
He felt that everything in front of him was a phantom!
Tang Ning looked at the roots, frowned, and said, "How long have you been here?" ”
"A quarter of an hour." Take a break at the inn, which is what most people do.
A quarter of an hour?
What can you do in a quarter of an hour?
Since the things were carried into the carriage and there were other guards around, the possibility of being dropped in the middle of the bag was very small. If it is not a change on the way, it will happen at the post station......
Looking at Zhou Yongle, Tang Ning asked a little inquiringly, "You sent people to guard this carriage, is it fixed, or is it in turn?" ”
"Take turns." In this way, everyone can go to the inn and drink a little water to quench their thirst.
After Zhou Yongle finished speaking, Tang Ning took a closer look at the surroundings, and then said to Zhou Yongle, "Has this horse been fed grain and grass?" Someone came with a big basin? ”
"Yes." This is how the horses are usually fed at the inn.
"Then ......," Tang Ning asked after a moment of contemplation, then looked at his mouth again and asked, "Do you remember how many people you brought with you?" ”
Zhou Yongle was shocked by Tang Ning's question, he didn't understand what Tang Ning meant.
"One hundred and five." Although he didn't understand, Zhou Yongle still told the truth.
After Zhou Yongle finished speaking, Tang Ning scanned the surroundings again and said to him, "Didn't you notice that there are a lot more people now than when you brought them?" ”
This time, without waiting for Zhou Yongle to react, Tang Ning paced in front of those people.
"You have all been with Vice General Zhou for more than a day and a half, and you all know each other. Right now...... A person comes out of sight, and then the person who knows him is not signed up by the person he knows. Hurry up, get out of the queue! ”
Downing said, gesturing at a soldier.
As the soldier came out of the ranks, he immediately signed up one by one and walked out. Just as he exhaled, more than a hundred people came out.
Obviously, there are more people left than should be left.
And more!
Before the rest of the people could come out, seeing that the matter had leaked, several people immediately pulled out their knives and slashed at the people around them.
As those people moved, Zhou Yongle's subordinates fought back, and the two groups fought together. As soon as Tang Ning waved his hand, the people she brought surrounded the group.
Tang Ning glanced at him, forgot his worries and prepared to join the team.
But, I haven't waited for the worries to be done. Suddenly, many bows and arrows fell from the sky and shot towards the people in the courtyard of the station.
"Everybody back off!" Tang Ning said, and with a wave of his sleeve, the countless leaves in his hand waved towards the masked man on the roof. There was only one scream, and many people rolled off the roof.
As those men rolled down, Arrow Feather's attacks thinned out a lot.
With such a density of arrow rain, it can be completely blocked with a knife.
Originally, Tang Ning was just guessing, but when he saw the masked man on the roof appear, Tang Ning was sure that those fake treasures were still in the post station.
Although strategically speaking, letting Sai Mingzhu take the fake baby back to hand over can be regarded as revenge on him.
But in order to make friends and foes clear and not be in a passive position, Tang Ning planned to take the initiative.
Those who dare to calculate her, even if they are fake treasures, can't take them away!
"Come on, take them down." After removing the threat from the rooftops for everyone, Tang Ning stepped back and handed over the cleanup of the scene to Zhou Yongle and his group.
Lost the treasure, Zhou Yongle's men and horses were holding their breath in their hearts, and now that someone finally showed up, under Tang Ning's order, they all rushed forward.
Nima, the soldier hates being imposter the most!
Perhaps because of the advantage in momentum, Zhou Yongle's soldiers faced that group, although their martial arts were not as high as the other party, but the advantage was that there were many people. After a honeycomb surged up, it relied on the advantage of numbers to directly wipe out that group of people.
After the people were exterminated, Tang Ning said to everyone, "Search, search immediately!" The thing is still at the post station, search him out immediately! ”
She doesn't believe that she can be counted all the time!
If you steal it, you will hide it, and I will snatch it back.
Tang Ning ordered, and immediately a group of people began to look around, whether it was the various places inside the post station that they turned over, even the stone slabs outside the post station were all torn off.
It's just that they searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything.
Tang Ning looked at the post station manager who was standing on the side, looking a little nervous, looked at a tree next to him, and said a little casually, "This white pine tree in the post station grows so well, you must water it frequently." ”
"Yes, yes, long watering, frequent watering." When Tang Ning asked this, one of them replied with some trepidation.
Hearing what the post manager said, Tang Ning was happy, and as soon as she waved her hand, several people stepped forward to arrest those people.
"The real inn manager doesn't even know what the name of the tree in his yard is?" Besides, this tree is still growing so well.
When the leader heard Tang Ning say this, he immediately said, "The subordinates have wronged, this tree has been planted here a long time ago, and the subordinates have also taken care of it according to what the predecessors said, as for the name of the tree...... How could the subordinates know so much detail, the subordinates are feeding the horses, not the trees......"
"But don't you know that this tree doesn't need to be watered at all?" There were two misleading things in Tang Ning's words, and he didn't want the person in front of him to answer them all.
After arresting the people, Downing pointed to the shed used to store forage next to the carriage and said to the few people who were throwing bricks, "Where to look." Get all the forage out, maybe there's some dark compartment in it. ”
As soon as Tang Ning's voice fell, the few people who pretended to be the managers of the post station fell to the ground and looked at Tang Ning with incredulous eyes, they really wanted to know how Tang Ning knew all this.
