Chapter 465: Tiger Knife
Facing Tang Minghu, who was like a wolf and a tiger, the courage of those Cao Gang members was suddenly frightened and disappeared without a trace.
Even if they knew that Tang Minghu and they only had more than sixty people, they had five or six thousand people.
And they still have weapons in their hands at this time, but still no one dares to step forward.
In this way, Tang Minghu's more than sixty people began to attack frantically like hungry wolves that had broken into the flock.
The frightened Cao Gang also began to retreat in a panic.
It's a pity that their retreat can only be in vain, because there is simply no space behind them for them to retreat.
In this way, Tang Minghu and the others slashed and slashed while advancing into the encirclement.
And where they walked, they left behind corpses.
As for the Cao Gang on their left and right, there were already signs of collapse at this time.
Although Tang Minghu and the others did not attack in their direction, they were still extremely nervous, fearing that these killing gods would suddenly turn around and kill in their direction.
Of course, it was not that no one in the crowd saw Tang Minghu's intentions.
"Don't panic, everyone, so many of us will definitely be able to kill these guys together."
Some of the small leaders of the Cao Gang were squeezed into the crowd at this time, and they couldn't stand up at all.
So they could only shout loudly.
But at this time, the people on the scene were already frightened, so even their shouting in the crowd to stabilize the situation was of no avail.
Soon, panic in the crowd began to spread like a plague in all directions.
Many of the Cao Gang, who were leaning outside the encirclement, had already pushed away the people behind them and began to flee.
And this is where the power of example comes in.
The frightened Cao gang members immediately fled with them when they saw that some people began to flee.
So soon the outer crowd of the encirclement began to break down.
If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the Cao Gang's ranks are now starting to loosen up layer by layer from the outside in.
"It's really a bunch of waste, and it is in vain that the imperial court spends so much money to support them and cannot do such a simple thing."
At this time, the old Jin King, who was standing on the other side, suddenly discovered the abnormality on the side of the Cao Gang.
After getting a rough idea of what was going on, he couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Your Majesty, these guys are a rabble, and it's good that we can use them to trap the city guards."
Ma Zheng saw that the old Jin King was so angry by the Cao Gang that he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Fortunately, I have studied this situation before, otherwise I am afraid that today's good situation will be buried in the hands of these idiots."
The old Jin King tried to calm his mood for a moment, and then nodded to one of the servants beside him.
The servant immediately pulled out a cylindrical object a foot long from his bosom.
Then he pulled out a fire fold and lit the cylindrical thing.
As the thing made a "sizzle" sound, there was a loud "bang".
Then a ball of fire erupted from the cylindrical thing.
Then a cloud of red fireworks exploded in the air.
"Your Majesty, did you arrange our people behind the Cao Gang?"
Ma Zheng couldn't help frowning curiously as he looked at the fireworks that exploded in the sky.
"That's right, originally I was just in case, but I didn't expect that it was just a step of idle chess, and it really came in handy."
The old Jin King looked at the Cao Gang scattered in the distance and said with a cold face.
"But our Jin King's guards have all been transferred back to the palace now, where are the other people in the king?"
Ma Zheng was very clear about how many Jin kings' guards and Houma iron horses there were under the old Jin king.
Even the Cao Gang had known about these people before.
And now, judging by the number of people in the Cao Gang, if you want to stop them, you probably need no less than a hundred people.
But it is obvious that there will be no more than a hundred people in the hands of the old Jin king.
"Have you forgotten about them?"
The old Jin King immediately gave Ma Zheng some hints.
"It's them!"
Ma Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that the old Jin King had recruited some masters from the rivers and lakes before.
Although they were killed a lot by them when they were chasing Mu Junhe and Li Yi.
But there are still some left.
Then, they followed the guards of the King of Jin to pursue Li Yi and the ghost doctor, and then they were put together by Li Yi and them.
Fortunately, Mang Qing was cautious enough at that time, and did not follow those Jin king's personal guards to break into the city guard camp and the garrison of the Yaowu army.
That's how they escaped.
Although they were severely scolded by the old Jin king for this incident afterwards, the old Jin king finally kept them because of their high martial arts.
However, although the old Jin King kept them, he no longer had much hope for them.
Therefore, before the old Jin king came to the city guard camp, he arranged for these more than 30 people to be the farthest away from his mansion.
At that time, according to the orders of the old Jin king, if they did not receive a signal, they continued to ambush.
And once they receive the signal, they must launch an indiscriminate attack on the people around them in the shortest possible time.
The reason why the old Jin king has such an arrangement is because although the old Jin king has controlled the Cao Gang in his hands, the people he controls are all high-level people in the Cao Gang.
However, he did not completely control the middle and bottom levels of the Cao Gang.
Therefore, the old Jin King was very suspicious at that time that there would be other vassal kings and even the shadows planted by Zongzheng Temple among these Cao Gangs.
And Mangqing, they are the old Jin kings who kept them to get rid of those shadows at a critical time.
It's a pity that those shadows who were ambushed in the Cao gang were not found out, and the old Jin King sent them a signal.
"There are really people in the Cao Gang who have betrayed the old Jin King, brothers, our life is here."
Due to the distance of the ambush, Mang Qing could only see many people in the Cao Gang scattering and fleeing, but he didn't see Tang Minghu and them in the crowd who were killing in all directions.
"Humph! Finally, the fuck is alive, and if we continue like this, we're going to die of boredom. ”
A strong man with a mace in his hand looked excitedly at the Cao Gang who were running in their direction.
"That's right, during this time, we have suffered a lot of white eyes on the side of the old Jin King."
Another rat-bearded man said with an indignant expression.
"That's it, even those damn Jin king's guards are picking their noses at us."
Another man continued.
"So we must get things done this time, otherwise it will be too difficult for us to find opportunities to serve the court in the future."
Seeing that everyone was indignant, Mang Qing couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Humph! Maybe it will be very difficult for us to deal with the two perverts Mu Junhe and Li Yi, but if we deal with these Cao Gang members who have no martial arts, it will be easy. ”
The rat-bearded man then said with a proud face.
However, his words were a little harsh in Mang Qing's ears.
After all, Mu Junhe and Li Yi can be said to be a thorn in Mang Qing's heart.
Now that the rat-whiskered man mentioned it, Mang Qing immediately felt that his pupils were congested, and a hot breath rushed to his head.
And when the rat-bearded man saw Mangqing's appearance as if he was about to eat people, he couldn't help but tremble with fright.
"Sooner or later, Mu Junhe and Li Yi will die in my hands."
Mang Qing then squinted his eyes and said coldly.
"That's right, Mu Junhe and Li Yi are still in the city, and now there is chaos in the city, since they are standing on the same front with Zongzheng Temple, they will inevitably die next."
Another guy who was very good at flattering immediately stood up and said with a flattering face.
And after hearing his words, the anger in Mang Qing's heart couldn't help but rise again.
"What kind of are you talking about! Mu Junhe and Li Yi's lives will definitely end in the hands of our little sword god. ”
A Jianghu person who had always been good friends with Mang Qing immediately stood up and said viciously to the two people.
And the two of them realized at this time that what they just said seemed to have made Mang Qing unhappy.
The two of them immediately looked embarrassed.
"Mang Daxia, you see that my mouth is really stupid enough, I can't speak, you are going to your heart!"
The fellow, who was very good at slapping horses, immediately slapped his mouth with his hand and said flatteringly.
And Mang Qing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw his face full of flattering smiles.
"Alright, don't fucking bullshit! Let's solve the problem at hand first. ”
After Mang Qing finished speaking, he pulled out the long sword he was carrying on his back, and then quickly faced the fleeing Cao Gang and killed them.
And when the other masters of the rivers and lakes saw Mang Qing's action, they also drew their weapons one after another, and they killed the Cao Gang together.
Since these guys are all well-known masters in the rivers and lakes, it is easy to deal with these Cao Gang gangs in front of them who have no martial arts.
So when these frightened Cao Gang members staggered past Mang Qing, they suddenly felt a chill in their necks, and then a large amount of blood spurted out of their necks.
And the other Cao Gang members were also killed under the attack of these Jianghu masters.
In an instant, the first batch of Cao Gang members who fled were killed by more than 30 masters of the rivers and lakes led by Mang Qing.
After eliminating the group of Cao Gang deserters who ran at the front, Mang Qing and they had no intention of stopping their steps.
And as they advanced, there were dead bodies lying behind them.
Soon they were on their own to the outskirts of the Cao Gang's encirclement.
At this time, Mang Qing saw clearly why these Cao Gang members fled like rats.
"I see, I said why these guys are running away so desperately."
"Mang Daxia, these guys look really good!"
The strong man with the mace looked at the corpses on the ground and said excitedly.
"If you say that those guys are strong, I can still agree, but I don't agree with you when you say that their strength is good."
The corners of Mang Qing's mouth showed a hint of disdain.
"Oh? I think the guy with the nine-ring broadsword should be strong! ”
The strong man with a mace pointed at Tang Minghu and said.
"That's right, the martial arts of a person who can use the Nine Rings Broadsword well shouldn't be too bad."
The rat-bearded man scratched his hair.
"Humph! If you want to talk about the strength of the man holding the nine-ring sword, I do have some say. ”
At this time, a man with a long knife in the crowd stood up and said.
"You're really shameless, is it just because you also use a long knife that you have a say?"
A man with a sword next to him teased.
"Even you're too shameless, and I also use a long knife, doesn't this mean that I know a lot about the man who uses the nine-ring big knife?"
The other man taunted.
However, the man with the knife did not get angry because of this, but looked at the few people around him who were mocking him with a smile.
"Do you know that man?"
Mang Qing saw the disdainful look on the face of the man who made the knife, and he asked tentatively.
"That's right, I do know the man who wielded the Nine-Ring Broadsword."
The man said proudly.
"Then tell us the details of this guy."
The people around him immediately shouted when they heard this.
"The man who made the nine-ring big knife was originally a famous swordsman in our rivers and lakes."
The man with the knife spoke slowly.
"Since this guy is a member of our rivers and lakes, and he is also a famous swordsman, why is he wearing the uniform of the city guard battalion soldier now?"
The people around him said with some suspicion.
The man with the knife saw that everyone was questioning him, so he immediately explained.
"I didn't lie to you, that guy was indeed a Jianghu person before, and he had a well-known nickname at the beginning: Tiger Knife."
"It turned out to be him!"
It was clear that someone around had heard of the nickname Tiger Knife.
"Have you heard of this guy too?"
Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on the person who had just spoken.
"That's right, I've heard of this nickname before, and this Tiger Sword was a small master in our southern martial arts at the beginning."
The man saw that everyone was watching him, so he continued.
"It is said that the original name of this tiger knife was Tang Minghu, and it was a master of the Tiger Leaping Gate, but later because the Tiger Leaping Gate was broken by the enemy, most of the disciples in the door were killed by the enemy, it is said that only four or five people escaped from the entire Tiger Leaping Gate, including the Tiger Knife Tang Minghu."
"In this way, this Tang Minghu is just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, his division was destroyed, and he could only hide in the city guard camp of Jinling City like a turtle with a shrunken head, and steal his life."
Someone on the side said disdainfully.
"If that's the case, then this Tang Minghu can't deserve the prestige of this tiger knife, it is said that later, in order to avenge the master, this Tang Minghu directly entered the enemy's mountain gate with a knife, and directly killed more than a dozen masters of the other party one by one, although he was also seriously injured afterwards, he still walked out of the other party's mountain gate in a dashing manner, and none of the other party's disciples dared to step forward."
The first person to recognize Tang Minghu immediately added to the person just now.
"In this way, this Tiger Dao is indeed a character, in that case, I should meet him for a while today!"
Mang Qing couldn't help but show a brilliant look when he heard this.
