Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 373 Lost Dogs, Fish Slipped Through the Net (II)
Long Jinghai and the others reopened their eyes in some surprise, only to find that the traitors around them had all fallen to the ground and died, and the knife around their necks had already fallen aside.
After careful observation, they saw that those people had their necks broken by hidden weapons and their throats were broken, which is why the screams were so weak and short.
At this moment, Long Kuo had quickly guessed who was making the move, and immediately said in a low voice: "But the friends of the Tang Sect came to the rescue?" Please come out and see you too. ”
As soon as the words fell, several figures flashed out from behind the rocks and trees beside them, and there were as many as six or seven people.
Although these people are all in the deep forest of this cold night, they are not dressed as much as the people of the Long family, but now they don't see the slightest embarrassment, and they look light and breezy.
When they walked a few steps further, Long Kuo saw the appearance of one of them clearly, and said in surprise: "Tang Hall Master, it's really you!" ”
Tang Hong, the hall master of the Tang Gate Beishui Hall, reluctantly showed a smile: "Dragon Guard, Fourth Master Long, I have frightened you." ”
Long Jinghai stared at them suspiciously: "You ...... You've been following us all the time? ”
Indeed, in such a situation, only by following them all the time can we help them out in time.
Tang Hong just smiled and didn't answer the words, but said, "I don't think you can go further to the west." ”
"Why?" Long Kuo asked again vigilantly.
"Because now that Kuizhou has been subordinated by the imperial court, do you think the tribes in this territory will still be as loyal to you as before?"
Although this sentence is a little hurtful, it is also a fact, which makes the faces of the two of the Long family change again.
Yes, even the people around him betrayed directly for self-preservation, how could people from other tribes be loyal to their two lost dogs?
If this really hits the head, it's good for people to ignore it, maybe they will directly tie up themselves and others, and take them to the Han people to ask for merit and reward.
After thinking about it like this, the two of them looked even more miserable, only to feel that they were really cornered.
But immediately, Long Jinghai suddenly reacted again, stared at Tang Hong and said, "Hall Master Tang, it seems that you have thought of how to help us?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked bothering to follow himself and the others, and still came to the rescue at this time.
Tang Hong no longer hid at this time, looked back at the other party and said, "Yes, until now, only our Tang Sect can protect you and help you." At the same time, it's also for ourselves.
"At present, the imperial court has taken down all parts of Sichuan and Shu, and only Yizhou is the place where my Tangmen main hall is located, so please go to Jinguan City with us."
"Go to Jinguan City......" The two quickly exchanged glances, but they saw hesitation in their eyes.
It's not that I'm worried that the other party will be unfavorable to my family, it's time to do it, are you still afraid that the people of the Tang Sect will take yourself to the court to ask for credit?
What they are worried about is that now, just one Tang Sect and one Yizhou, why should they fight against the imperial army that has already won the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu?
Even if Yizhou is still close to defend, even if the Tang Sect still has many masters, they are still difficult to stop in the face of the absolute strength gap.
So in the end, the two of them went to Yizhou, and they didn't become prisoners of the imperial court again?
"I know what you're worried about, it's true that the current situation in our Tang Sect is also not good."
Tang Hong also opened his mouth bitterly, how could he not see the problem in this?
If the Kuizhou Long family is still there, then with the cooperation of both of them, they may be able to support it for a while, and they can still turn the situation around with the help of the Tang Sect's secret weapon assassination.
But now, there is only one Tang Gate left, and the imperial court is overwhelming Mount Tai for them, and there is no room for maneuver.
"However, there is still one last turning point, that is, as long as it can be delayed, when the Qianzhou Long family, and even the southwestern clans such as the Mu family in southern Yunnan, really receive the news and wave their troops, then the rule of the imperial court in Sichuan and Shu will naturally collapse quickly.
"But to support it until then, it will not only be up and down my Tang Sect, but also need the cooperation of all departments in the outside world. And your Long family is the last hope at the moment! ”
Tang Hong said this, and the two members of the Long family finally understood.
He still had the idea of letting the Long family and the various tribes of Sichuan and Shu secretly contact, but instead of directly approaching the tribes as they thought before, after arriving at the Tang Gate, he used the channels of the Tang Gate to reach contact and divide the forces of the imperial court.
The two groaned for a while, and finally agreed to this way of cooperation.
Although in this way, in fact, he has been controlled by the Tang Gate, and maybe even the Kuizhou Long family will be annexed and replaced by the Tang Gate in the end, but in the current situation, there is only one way to go.
"Okay, let's go back to Yizhou with you!" Long Jinghai finally nodded vigorously, "Next, we will also contact the leaders of the various departments as agreed!" ”
"That's great, two, please!" Tang Hong smiled, turned around and made a gesture of please.
I couldn't get the errand done this time, and I hope to bring these two people back and make a little atonement.
As for making him as Sun Ning had worried before, still hiding in Kuizhou, looking for an opportunity to assassinate, Tang Hong really didn't even think about it.
Because he knows very well that the current Kuizhou is tight inside and outside, and it is impossible to have such an assassination opportunity again.
Moreover, he has also seen Sun Ning's power, under the circumstances at that time, his own family could not kill him, so if the other party is very prepared, he will be caught in the net.
As the time approached dawn and the day was about to dawn, the group set out again and followed the more rugged mountain road to the south.
The lost dog in Kuizhou, the fish that slipped through the net in Tangmen, this time they really got together.
……
At noon half a day later, Sun Ning in Kuizhou City received this news, and also saw the bodies of the Long family fugitives who were transported into the city.
Although it is not possible to accurately deduce what happened on the mountain at that time, the conclusion is unmistakable.
"Tang Men's reaction was fast enough, and he actually brought the two lost dogs, did he plan to use them to disturb our army's heart?" As he spoke, Sun Ning's gaze swept over the faces of many patriarchs who had heard the news.
And this time, these barbarian patriarchs, who had always been unruly, all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to make eye contact with Sun Ning.
The heads of the people of the Long family are still hanging all over the city wall of Kuizhou, how dare they dare to be enemies of such a powerful emperor?
The corners of Sun Ning's mouth turned up, and his smile was full of murderous intent: "Since the Tang Sect is so impatient, then take this opportunity to tell the world that the Yizhou Tang Sect is a rebellion against the imperial court, and everyone will be punished!" Our army will enter Yizhou in half a month and break the Tang Gate! ”
