Chapter 990: Encountering the Dead on the Way The plan has changed
PS: This chapter of the tanuki is written by 'gnashing teeth', it's really 'gnashing teeth'!
Nima, half of her cheeks are already swollen. A toothache is not a disease, it hurts to kill people.
said that he left the team and disappeared, but then Tang En and the others naturally did not immediately go to the temple to kill...... Well, if that were the case, it would seem more likely to be counter-killed.
In fact, Don and the others didn't go anywhere, and after leaving the team, they found a farm nearby and hid in a field where crops were abundant...... Well, the geography of the south is indeed a bit strange for people like assassins and bandits. Basically, there are no abrupt mountains, and as far as the eye can see, there are all wilderness plains, unobstructed.
This squatting is half a day!
Then, the expected movement finally came......
As expected, the second prince's reaction was swift and vast. It should be because he was in contact on the ship, but as soon as he set foot on the southern land, the forces in the open and in the dark in various places, and the private soldiers of all walks of life gathered like a tide to assist King Qin.
Such a grand movement naturally can't escape the eyes of the forces on the side of the eldest prince, and it should have been prepared, but in just half a day, the field where Tang En and the others were hiding was surrounded by dust in all directions, and there were as many soldiers as ants, and all kinds of banners, including the temple, were rolling coldly, which made Tang En and the others who were close at hand dazzled, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Fortunately, these soldiers and troops were in a hurry, and they had no time to send scouts to probe the surroundings, otherwise Tang En and them would have to be exposed immediately......
It was not until late afternoon that the surrounding movement had subsided slightly. Tang En, who had been lying in the ground for a long time, poked his head out slightly. To be cautious. Don didn't lead the crowd to set off immediately. Instead, let Harai take two members of the Grey Space with him. Sneak out of the crop field and find out the news first......
The results of the investigation were both expected and unexpected.
The so-called expectation is that the rushing procession that seemed to be running for funeral in the previous half a day was indeed the forces of the temple and the eldest prince, and it was for the second prince and them who came to the rescue.
As for the unexpected, it was Tang En who underestimated the methods of the second prince, and the huge commotion over there - just in this half of the day. The second prince's side has already occupied three large cities, and this trend is still expanding, and it has initially gained a firm foothold in the south, and has the qualifications to compete with the eldest prince's side.
This speed and decisive posture, Rao is Tang En couldn't help but secretly praise when he heard this. Then he came back to his senses and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It's very simple, the bigger the commotion on the second prince's side, the more arrogant it is. The more opportunities there are for Tang En's side to fish in troubled waters, and at worst, it also saves them the situation of being hunted down and encircled by the temple.
Opportunities are rare and fleeting. Don certainly doesn't hesitate to miss out. Soon after receiving the news, he immediately led the people out of the crop field. Under the cover of dark night, they rushed towards the southern hinterland.
There are no ordinary people in this team, or let's be honest, except for Owens, they are all assassins who miss a blow and immediately flee thousands of miles. So there is no doubt about the speed, and if a night walker collides with them head-on, it will only be a sudden gust of wind, passing in front of them in an instant......
The first stop, a secret branch in a southern city.
Professional habits, Tang En will never underestimate any target opponent, not to mention that this time it is a temple of light with a thousand-year-old heritage. Therefore, despite the fact that Owens, who was familiar with the inside of the temple, led the way, and there was also a brief topographical map sent by the second prince, Tang En still decided to collect as much information about the temple as possible before making a move.
But
I never thought that when Don arrived at the branch to start the operation, someone would come to the door first, or an old man who had been waiting here for a long time......
"Damn, why are you here slut?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm waiting for you. This is the closest secret branch to the South Shore, and I know you kid will definitely be here. Haha, isn't labor and management very witty?"
"It's hard to say if you're witty or not, but your dog nose is really sensitive. ”
"Get out—"
In the middle of the night, in a small southern town near the Lenau River, in an inconspicuous house, two figures depreciated each other and embraced each other.
Familiar rhythm, familiar tone. Looking at the familiar old man in front of him - Jack the Thief. Rao is Tang En, who was in a very bad mood along the way, couldn't help but smile happily, and his mood was much better.
Immediately, after Jack and a group of acquaintances such as Harry and Luke joked and teased each other. Don opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, what are you waiting for me here?"
"Wow, don't mention it. It was a normal problem, but Jack was full of depression when he heard this, and he poured bitter water, "Brother, I have a bad year! I finally returned to the South, and before I could catch my breath, Bran was defeated. I heard that your gray-clothed army and some northern wilderness tribe are going to fight the south again, I'm not unlucky, why are you coming back......"
"To the point, to the point!"
"It's almost there, wait for the labor and management to finish...... Now the south must not stay, the rivers are blocked, there are soldiers everywhere, and sooner or later there will be big problems. I thought that the north was not the territory of your gray army now, so I wondered if I should go to you......" Speaking of this, Jack suddenly slammed his palm, "I never thought of it! Before I could find my way, I was arrested by Philip's rabbit cub, Nima-"
"Philip, there's something about him here...... Wait!" Don was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized something, and looked thoughtfully at Jack, who sighed and looked decrepit, "So, Philip asked you to help me come to me?"
Not long ago, when Philip went to the north to negotiate with Donn, although the result was unsuccessful, Don still gave Philip a secret agency contact address. If you think about it this way, the facts are undoubtedly clear.
"It's not a help, it's a threat! Don't you understand the threat!" Jack was angry, and his angry and angry scolding was trembling, "Lao Tzu has been preparing for several months, planning day and night, risking his life, and finally getting a box of gems from a noble manor! A box of gems--I was going to go to the north to pay for the journey, but he was snatched away before he could cover the heat! It is really the tears of those who hear it, and the sadness of those who see it!
Tang En couldn't help but stroke his forehead when he heard this, okay, Philip can really do this kind of thing...... After making up his mind, he couldn't persuade him, so he could only ask, "Then what is his purpose?" Well, why didn't he come to me himself?"
"The rabbit cub said that he had been monitored around the clock and could not leave the capital. Haha, yes! This is the retribution for robbing Lao Tzu's gems......"
"Focus! Focus!"
"Oh, he wants you to go to the capital and meet him...... By the way, this is what his grandfather Sword God meant, as if he wanted to talk to you about the temple association. ”
When Donne listened to the first half of the sentence, he subconsciously shook his head and refused, what a joke, he was short of time now, how could he have the leisure time to see Philip. But after listening to the next sentence, Don couldn't help but be stunned.
The meaning of the sword god Wooding...... About the General Meeting of the Temple......
If it was just the former, Don could still refuse. But the latter is related to his next rescue plan...... Well, as Wooding, I don't think I should be able to let off the cannon......
After a moment of silence, Donne's heart suddenly moved, and he asked tentatively, "Did Philip say how we should get to the capital?"
"As I said, as long as we find any teleportation array that can lead directly to the capital. On the side of the Capital Space Tower, he has already arranged for someone to be ready to respond, and his whereabouts will not be revealed. ”
Sure enough, this was obviously planned by Philip's side step by step, including getting Jack to pass the word. And just for this full sincerity, it is worth seeing...... Tang En no longer hesitated when he heard this, and nodded directly: "Okay, then go to the capital first." ”
There really was no reason to refuse, because the temple would always be much closer to the capital than it was from here. Besides, Philip had already secured the Capital Space Tower, so that their identities would not be revealed, and it would save a lot of time that would have been wasted on the road - why not?
The plan changed, and Don did not hesitate, and without waiting for a full cup of tea at the secret branch, he immediately took advantage of the cover of the night to set off again. But before leaving,
"By the way, Jack, what are your plans next? Well, my advice is that you stay here and go back to the north with you when we come back from our errands......
"What stupid things are you talking about!" Jack shook his head without thinking about it, and shook his fist angrily, "No kidding, I'm going to go to the capital with you, find that rabbit cub, and then get back the box of gems from Lao Tzu!"
Don couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and looked at Jack, who looked like he was full of righteous indignation, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised slightly...... Of course, this is not true, at least not entirely. Philip was able to ask Jack to speak on his behalf, naturally to explain the inside story. That said, Jack was well aware of the dangers of the trip. And what is a box of gems compared to a small life......
Patted Jack on the arm, and Don didn't say anything. He just nodded, "Let's be together...... Let's go!"
