Chapter Seventy-One: Where to Go

When Xiao Ding and Sikong Jieyue arrived, they were really stunned by the scene in front of them.

The corpses were all over the ground, lying on the ground or lying on the car, the blood on the ground was congealed, and the dart flags soaked in the ground were stained with blood and dirt.

The overturned lanterns had burned to ashes, the frightened horses had neighed, and their hooves had dug the ground into a pit, but they could not break free from their reins.

Darts destroy people.

Thirteen corpses.

Fourteen people, and one man.

Xiao Ding had already seen Tang Xiaotian leaning on the trunk of a tree beside the road.

Tang Xiaotian had already seen them.

His eyes were glazed, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years in this short period of time.

He didn't say anything, he was already too tired, and what had weighed on him all these years was like a mountain, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.

Until Tang Qingqing held his hand tightly and cried and called him dad.

This call suddenly awakened his soul that was about to fall into the abyss.

"You're finally willing to call me daddy again......" Tang Xiaotian's lonely face finally had a trace of emotion, and his voice seemed to be comforting, but also bitter.

"Dad, I'm sorry, my daughter is unfilial and made you suffer......" Tang Qingqing has cried into tears.

The father and daughter finally hugged each other tightly and released their suspicions.

Xiao Ding checked the wounds of the thirteen dart masters, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "These people's shots are clean and neat, and they retreat immediately after controlling the enemy with one move, and they will never drag mud and water, they are obviously trained killers, and they are very confident in their own methods. “

Tang Xiaotian had gradually regained his senses, he was not injured, but he was just relieved by the huge blow in his heart, this was the second time in his life that he had encountered such a terrifying opponent.

"Thirteen people, who call themselves the Thirteen Taibao, except for the masks on their faces, they act as if they are one person. Especially the man in the white mask, his martial arts and voice are like coming from hell, there is no such terrible martial arts in the world. Tang Xiaotian said in a hoarse voice.

Thirteen Taibao, Mask Man?

Xiao Ding was pacing around on the road, and whenever this happened, Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu would not bother him, because they knew that he must be thinking about some important issues in this situation.

Xiao Ding suddenly took a jar of wine from the "cloud car" and handed it to Tang Xiaotian, Tang Xiaotian did not refuse, and poured a gulp of wine into his stomach.

He drank too quickly, and it was inevitable that he would choke on it, but when the strong wine entered his throat, he felt that his blood was swelling and his suppressed emotions were gradually relieved.

When everyone heard him tell the story, they were shocked.

Xiao Ding put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "There are some things in this that can't be explained. “

Sikong Jieyue felt that he had waited too long, and asked anxiously, "What can't be explained?" “

"Although we don't know whether the 13th Taibao of Lin'an usually wears masks, the purpose of wearing masks is nothing more than two situations, one is to hide people's eyes and ears, and the other is to pretend to be mysterious. In such a large robbery, the normal way is to kill people and kill them, leaving no clues, but these people not only leave alive, but also report their homes, for fear that others will not find a way to track down the whereabouts of the darts, of course, there is a problem. When Xiao Ding explained, Sikong Jieyue kept nodding frequently, as if he had admitted that what he said was not unreasonable.

"We traveled all the way, and there were no abnormal signs on the way, why did the Thirteen Taibao choose to do it only when it was thousands of miles away from Lin'an?" Xiao Ding continued to analyze.

Sikong Jieyue held his chin with three fingers of his right hand, and his index finger kept scratching the short whiskers on his chin, he saw that Xiao Ding often pinched his eyebrows, so he created this action himself, he felt that this action was much more chic than Xiao Ding's pinching of his eyebrows.

He suddenly stopped what he was doing and said: "Bandits are rampant here, and the official road is so complicated, with many bends and dense forests, could it be that the other party guessed that the dart car would walk at night, so he chose to act here?" “

Xiao Ding shook his head and denied: "Since the white masked man's martial arts are so high, why does he need to care whether it is day or night, even if he openly goes to the helm of the Evergreen Dart Bureau to rob these darts, what can others do?" “

Ye Rongqiu interjected: "Could it be that they are so arrogant, just for demonstration? Show off the world's martial arts Lin'an Thirteen Taibao is omnipotent? “

Xiao Ding smiled and said: "How is it possible, no one in the world can be ignorant and arrogant to such a point, think about it, with the strength of the Blue Dragon Society and the Money Gang, even they can only choose to hide in the dark, and they dare not openly be enemies of the world, how can only thirteen people despise the world." “

Tang Qingqing's face was still stained with tears, but she had untied the knot in her heart for many years, and the father and daughter were reunited, and she seemed to be in a good mood, she thought about it and suddenly said: "Could it be that these people are not really the Thirteenth Taibao at all, they deliberately did not kill my father, just to point the clues to the real Lin'an Thirteen Taibao and divert our attention?" “

"I don't rule out this possibility, but if so, it seems to be a bit of a snake, with the martial arts of the white mask man, the uncle has no chance of surviving, they will leave after the dart, and they don't know it, why do they have to do more." Xiao Ding pinched his brow.

Sikong Jieyue shouted: "This is not that nor that, it's annoying, you can think about it slowly, but can you think about what to do with these corpses first?" “

Thirteen corpses, what can be done?

It is not impossible to bury it on the spot, but at least it must be buried until tomorrow, and it is considered fast to be able to bury it before dark tomorrow.

The reins were severed, and the horses fled, seemingly freed to run to the wilderness they longed for, but who knows what happened next.

Thirteen corpses were placed on the dart cart, and Tang Xiaotian threw the lantern in his hand into the dart cart, which instantly caught fire and burst into flames.

Tang Xiaotian clenched his teeth, his eyes were about to split, and he muttered: "Brothers, go all the way, bless Tang to find out the person who robbed the dart as soon as possible, and avenge the brothers!" “

The dart has been lost, the dart has been destroyed, what can he do?

He now felt like those loose horses just now, although he was not bound on his body, but in the vast night, he did not know where to go.

Perhaps the real restraint is not the reins on the body, but the shackles in the heart.

What is Tang Xiaotian's shackles? Is it hatred, or is it the honor of the family?

Either way, he wasn't free, at least not the horses.

Looking at the skyrocketing firelight, Xiao Ding said slowly: "No matter who the other party's true identity is, there are only two possibilities for their action this time. “

Tang Xiaotian looked at Xiao Ding and asked slowly, "What are the two possibilities?" “

"The first possibility is that they already know that the convoy of the Evergreen Dart Bureau is following us, so they can only act at night; The second possibility is that it was a trap from the start, and they had already planned everything and waited for us to drill into it. Xiao Ding looked at the end of the road and smiled lightly.

In the night, as far as the eye can see, it is the end, but after dawn.

After dawn, there is no end to the road, because there is still a road behind the road, and the more roads, the easier it is to make mistakes.

But it is much better to have a road than no road, it is not terrible to take the wrong road, it is terrible to have no way to go.

Because you took the wrong road, at most it was just a little detour, and you can finally get to where you want to go.

There are not many paths under their feet now, only one.

Although there is only one path, there are different options, which can be forward or backward.

Go forward to Lin'an, face challenges, and move forward bravely;

Retreat back to Shuzhong, accept failure, and collapse.

The road is at your feet, and there is always a choice as to where to go.
