483. Leap of Faith
The sky was cloudy, the sky turned out of the white of the fish's belly, and a ray of morning light sprinkled down.
Whoosh –
Several people wearing sackcloth hoods fell from the trees.
"Did you find it?" asked Chen Tong with his head down.
Chen Wu responded: "It's just ahead, on the edge of the wooden pier." ”
At the limit of his eyesight, he could see a figure curled up on the ground with a cape, extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept, only his legs that moved from time to time could prove that he was still alive.
Chen Tong nodded, and then took action, sometimes jumping onto the tree, sometimes squatting in the grass, holding his breath and staring, only his two eyes kept turning, taking in everything around him.
"One, two, three, four...... There are four people here standing in a line...."
"One, two, three, four..... The four of them are looking up at the sky..."
Chen Wu frowned: "Only eight people?"
Although they all knew that the Yue people didn't care about Deng Xiu, they just wanted to attract a large army to come and kill them through Deng Xiu, and more people were distributed on the periphery of the mountains and forests, or even farther away, waiting for an ambush and besiegement, but this is inevitably too little, right?
Chen Tong said: "Originally, there should have been eighty-eight. ”
Chen Wu suddenly realized that eighty-eight words were much more reasonable, even if Deng Xiu's martial arts were good, and he didn't eat, drink, or sleep for so many days, nearly a hundred miscellaneous soldiers were enough to kill him.
As for where are the extra eighty.....
It's all lying behind them, after all, it's not easy to sneak in.
Chen Tong took a deep breath and said to Chen Wu, "Brother, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Chen Wu nodded: "Remember, the teacher taught that as an assassin, you can't expose your whereabouts, once your whereabouts are exposed, it means death, so either your identity is exposed, and we and the brothers behind us will die here with General Deng, or we can sneak in successfully and rescue General Deng together." Chen Tong clenched the fire dragon dart in his hand and nodded solemnly.
This fire dragon dart is a strange treasure that he got by chance, and it is like a fire dragon, with a hundred shots.
This is the perfect time for them to wait.
As an Assassin, patience was a must.
At this time, both the sleeping people and the night guards are at their most tired.
This is the dawn of the first rays of sunlight, and it is also the dawn of hidden murder.
Chen Tong shot a stone backwards and motioned for the brothers and sisters behind him to follow.
Then he and his brother jumped under the tree.
It was too late, but it was too soon, and the two of them pulled out a rope from their waists.
This rope is tied with hook claws, which can be used not only as a belt for trousers, but also occasionally for tickling.
The rope was hundreds of meters long, and the two of them threw the hook claw at the same time, and the hook that flew straight forward was accurately stuck in the tree in front of them, and the barb on the hook was embedded in the tree, and under the drag of the human weight, the barb hook went deep into the trunk.
In this way, he was as nimble as an ape, swinging on the trunk of a tree, ignoring the traps on the ground. 500 meters...... 400 meters...... 300 meters...... 200 meters...... 100 meters!
Just when he reached the last tree, Chen Tong's face suddenly became hideous, and as soon as he turned over, he jumped from the tree.
Chen Wu even has the heart to say that he is lying in the groove, there is still a distance from the wooden pier where Deng Xiu is located, if he wants not to be discovered by the Yue people on the ground, he will take Deng Xiu away unconsciously, and he has to go around again, who knows that his brother will rush up like this?
But everyone had already gone down, and Chen Wu couldn't help it, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
The two of them landed and ran wildly like a lifeless, just trying to shorten the distance of 100 meters to the extreme.
Chen Tong even remembered everything that Mai Yun taught, and the assassination paid attention to a momentum, so.... He roared as he sprinted head-on.
Yue Ren's brain was a little confused.
It seems like...... Someone rushed towards him.
This linen robe is quite stylish, especially the hood, which has the characteristics of a thief.
But obviously, it's not my own people.
After thinking about this, the brain capacity of Yue people is not enough.
Why do outsiders go deep into here?
What about the eighty brothers outside?
Are these people Zhou, businessmen, or some kind of messy people?
What is their purpose?
The cultural level of the Yue people is already a level lower than that of businessmen, and now that there are so many problems in front of him, coupled with Chen Tong's extraordinarily abnormal behavior, how can he figure it out?
My brain was down for three seconds.
What can you do in three seconds?
Someone can finish in three seconds, someone can die in three seconds.
When these eight Yue people realized that these people were going for Deng Xiu, it was already too late.
or a hidden weapon or a backstab or a stuffy stick, without any scruples, each using its own means, the eight Yue people disappeared in an instant.
"Infiltration success!"
Chen Tong roared in a low voice, the fire dragon dart in his left hand was still emitting firelight, and his right hand had already carried Deng Xiu.
Deng Xiu was in a daze.
He thought he was dead.
If you don't say that you are dead, you will also be involved in big businessmen.
In a trance, Deng Xiu felt a feeling of fluttering up, maybe... This is death, right?
The ancestors of the human race have appeared in the holy world, do you still have some time to let your soul float to Sanshan Pass to see your father, and float to Chaoge to see your sister?
Check it out....
Deng Xiu opened his eyes, and he found that someone was carrying him behind his back, wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, but it was definitely not Yue Ren.
Saved?
Deng Xiu was ecstatic, if he could live, who would want to die?
At this time, more and more people noticed the strangeness here, and they gathered from all directions.
They are confused in their hearts.
What about the eighty or so brothers, and no one has infiltrated them?
But although he was confused, he was not worried.
This is an encirclement network prepared for the merchant army, not to mention a few people coming in to save people, even if the main force of the merchant army comes, it will be a dead end with no return.
"Chase!"
With an order, the Yue people chased after Chen Tong and Chen Wu.
Chen Tong gasped and jumped on the tree with the help of the hook lock, and at this time, a Yue person had already thrown a small flying knife, and the accuracy was really good, and the rope was cut directly.
Chen Tong didn't hesitate, and ran directly on the ground.
Deng Xiu thought that he was going to escape, and his heart was ecstatic, but who would have thought that Chen Tong was running a dead end, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't run there! There is a cliff! a cliff! a dead end!"
Chen Tong ignored him and shouted: "Rush!"
Then, the two were forced to the cliff.
Deng Xiu barely recovered some strength, with a black face, standing beside Chen Tong, I'll just say, this is a dead end.
Chen Tong looked at the bottom of the cliff, let alone fifty meters, and saw the haystack at the bottom of the cliff, so he said, "Jump." ”
"Jump?"
Deng Xiu looks like you're kidding me, isn't this suicide?
Chen Tong said very seriously: "Do you have faith?"
He said to himself: "My belief is not an ancestor or an immortal, from the time I wiped my neck and fell into Qishui, my faith became Your Majesty, and became a great businessman, for the sake of Your Majesty and a great businessman, I can sacrifice everything, do you have faith?"
Deng Xiu's expression changed from puzzled to abrupt.
This is... O dead man!
They rushed into the encirclement of the Vietnamese people to save themselves, with the intention of saving if they could, and dying if they couldn't.
Dying by suicide is more glorious than dying at the hands of the Yue people, Wen Zhong and the officers and men in the army do not have to worry about self-blame, and the big merchants can also save some face and not be constrained by the Yue people.
Deng Xiu calmly, as the brother-in-law of the king of Zhou, how can his consciousness be worse than a dead man?
Indeed, if you can live, no one will want to die, but if you can die worthwhile, die meaningfully, and die soundly, it is also okay.
The morning light sprinkled on Deng Xiu, when he jumped off the cliff, he even had the mind to enjoy the spectacular scenery of jumping from a high place, closing his eyes, as if he could hear the eagle's call, and there was a pleasure of rapid decline, which made people can't help but open their hands and turn forward.
Then he landed on a haystack at the bottom of the cliff.
Deng Xiu opened his eyes, damn, it turns out that he can't die?
