In the darkness, dozens of fish that had slipped through the net were running for their lives in a hurry, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one shallow, but their speed was very fast. Although the pursuers behind them suspended their pursuit because they were frightened by the trap set, they did not dare to stop. This was the opportunity that the three leaders fought for for them.
Only the young man was being held up but still struggling to turn back: "Let me go, I want to go back to save my father and my third and fifth uncles..." But his strength was not as strong as the two strong men beside him, and he was still passive. Go straight ahead into the darkness. He only walked away in anger for half an hour. After he was more than ten miles away, he was thrown to the ground. The two people beside him were already panting and couldn't care less about him.
After the young man landed, he quickly bounced up and turned around to go back. However, someone immediately stepped forward to block his way: "Xun'er, don't be stupid. If you go back now, you are just sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Instead, you have betrayed the determination of the eldest brother and the others. Why do you think the eldest brother is willing to do anything to stay behind?" You are trying to stop the enemy just because you want us to ensure you leave safely."
But the young man refused to listen and was about to run away. Finally, the man got angry and punched him on the cheek: "Please wake up and stop causing trouble!" He was knocked to the ground and completely stunned.
"Xun'er, I know you want to save them, but now the officers and soldiers have been prepared. Even if we all go, it's hard to succeed, let alone you alone." One of the people who just fought him all the way here. The man had recovered and looked sincere.
"You are afraid of death, but I am not. Even if I die, I will die with my father, my third uncle and my fifth uncle!" The young man couldn't get up for a while, but he still said with his head hanging.
"Who said we were afraid of death? If we were really afraid of death, we wouldn't have come with the boss to assassinate the traitor Gao Qiu! We just don't want to die in vain, let alone make the boss and their deaths worthless." The man who just took action He scolded in a low voice: "What do you know at such a young age? This is the overall situation that matters most."
"Xun'er, listen to me. If we leave now, we don't really care about Big Brother and the others. On the contrary, we can only save their lives by leaving."
"Second uncle, are you serious?" the young man asked in disbelief.
"Of course, if you think about it, Gao Qiu will definitely want to catch us at this time, so he won't really kill the eldest brother and the others to vent his anger. And as long as they think about sending people to Daming Mansion or being detained elsewhere, we There is a chance to save people. Fourth brother, what do you think?"
The strong man beside him nodded immediately: "Second brother is right. You have always seen things very accurately, and you will not be wrong this time. Xun'er, fourth uncle is doing it for your own good. Don't take it to heart when I hit you just now."
The young man who had calmed down finally nodded: "Then... let's hide first and then watch their movements?"
"That's right. We are most familiar with this place. No matter how they go, they can't escape our tracking." The second uncle nodded hurriedly, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally persuaded this stubborn guy. Living.
After this argument, everyone had almost rested. Before dawn, they got up again and hurried on. After a while, they completely disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, in Gao Qiu's camp, the Taiwei was making a big move.
Lei Lei: "Trash, hundreds of people were chasing them and twenty or thirty fish slipped through the net and they actually let them escape? What do you do for food?" Several subordinate officers knelt in front of them, all of them lowered their heads to the ground, not even breathing. Dare to take a breath.
In the past, these imperial guards were used to being pampered in Tokyo, and they could not endure hardships. They just encountered a trap set by an assassin, and more than ten people died at once. This frightened the others, so they could not Dare to chase again. During this delay, the assassins had already disappeared, and in the end they could only come back empty-handed.
Gao Qiu was quite frightened tonight. If he hadn't been careful enough to change tents to sleep in, he might have been killed before. This made him very angry out of fear, and naturally he wanted to kill all the assassins. . But in the end, what he got was such a result, which made him even more angry. If he hadn't relied on these people to protect him in the future, he would have ordered them all to be killed.
After staring at these guys hatefully for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Now that the assassin has escaped halfway, what do you think we should do next? Do we have to be careful all the way and don't even have to sleep at night?"
"Captain, calm down. I thought these assassins would not be able to run far away. After all, they still have accomplices in our hands. As long as they are tortured severely, we will be able to get the whereabouts of those people from their mouths. When the time comes, we will lead the troops to attack again." But we will catch them all." Finally, someone with a clear head came up with a useful idea.
Gao Qiu also reacted: "Bring those alive here, I want to see who dared to assassinate this Taiwei after eating the bear's heart leopard, I will report to the imperial court and destroy his entire family!"
A moment later, several men with injuries all over their bodies were escorted in front of Gao Qiu. Their hands had been tied behind their backs, and their left and right sides were held down by soldiers. They could not even think of making any move. And judging from the blood stains on their bodies and their staggering steps, it was obvious that they could not really pose any threat.
But when they entered the tent and saw Gao Qiu, the eyes of several of them still showed strong hatred and murderous intent. One of the men struggled for a while, but was slapped on the back by the soldier behind him. , the person fell to the ground. The others were also pushed down with great force and knelt in front of Gao Qiu.
"Who are you? You are so brave, you dare to assassinate me!" Gao Qiu squinted his eyes and looked at the five people in front of him, but he couldn't remember any enmity against them, or even who they were. .
"Bah..." One of them spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a face full of resentment: "Old thief Gao Qiu, you have caused our brothers' families to be ruined and our families to be on the run, and yet you still have the nerve to say this. I only hate that our brothers are not good at learning. God is so blind that he couldn't kill you..."
"How dare you disrespect the Taiwei!" The soldiers nearby were furious when they heard this. Without Gao Qiu's orders, they punched and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground. The wounds on his body burst and the words in his mouth were Blood spurted out and he almost fainted.
Gao Qiu also clearly felt the deep hatred these people had for him, but he became interested: "Who are you? I have never even seen your face..."
"You have harmed so many people, so naturally you cannot remember us. We were originally soldiers of the Forbidden Army and soldiers of the Longyuan Army. But just because of your greed and despicable methods, you led to
As a result, many of our brothers have lost their families and have no choice but to flee here. What, you still can’t remember? Another person said, coughing up blood.
After hearing the name Long Yuan Army, Gao Qiu finally showed a thoughtful look on his face: "It turns out it's you rebels. I can't believe that you can still live to this day and dare to assassinate me. , It’s really a crime worthy of death.”
After a pause, he shouted again: "Tell me where your accomplices are hiding and help me find the relevant people. I will also be able to atone for your sins and leave you with a miserable life. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer all kinds of things." Torture, you can’t survive but you can’t die!”
"Bah... Old thief Gao Qiu, since we dare to assassinate you, we have already risked everything. You want us to betray other brothers, that is just a dream! Kill if you want, no need to say more." As these words came out, All of them puffed up their chests and closed their eyes, showing an attitude of being ready to kill and unwilling to cooperate.
This attitude made Gao Qiu even more angry, and he immediately shouted: "Come here, drag them out and torture them carefully. Don't let them die like this. I want to know where their accomplices are hiding and catch all the rebels!"
"Here!" the officer beside him hurriedly agreed, and with a raise of his hand, the five people were dragged out of the tent again. What awaited them was a harsh punishment.
At this moment, rumbling footsteps came from a distance, which surprised Gao Qiu and others. Then someone came in and reported: "Captain, the Tiger Guards over there are coming over. They say they saw We have a war here, so we came here to check."
"Hmph, they really can pick their time. Just now I turned a blind eye when the fighting was fierce in the camp. Now that the war is over, they come here to show their courtesy again. Do you really want to bully me?" Gao Qiu said angrily. But in the end he made a move: "Let Sun Tu come into the camp and speak." At least at this time, he did not dare to quarrel with Sun Tu face to face, even if he already hated Sun Tu to the core, and had even planned to wait until he reached the front line. Find an opportunity to kill him.
But after waiting for a while, Sun Tu was not seen entering the account. Instead, Sun Tu's voice sounded outside: "Please come out and speak. It's so late at night, I think it's better not to enter the account, so as not to explain clearly."
Gao Qiu cursed the other party in a low voice a few more times, and then reluctantly came out of the tent under the protection of several experts. He looked at Sun Tu who was not far away with an annoyed look on his face: "Marquis Yue, You reacted so quickly, you were there as soon as the assassin left."
"Haha, aren't I afraid that what Lieutenant Gao said can't be explained clearly? After all, everyone knows that you and I have a grudge. If I bring someone here at that time, you will treat me as an accomplice of the assassin. It’s not good.”
"Do you think I won't doubt you? Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you are very dissatisfied with the result, right?" Gao Qiu, who was furious, also lost his composure with Sun Tuxu, and his words became Extremely direct.
Immediately, many people in the camp changed their expressions. They did not expect that the conflict between the two people would be made public so directly.
But Sun Tu was not surprised at all. Instead, he nodded with a smile: "The Taiwei really has a keen eye, and he saw through all my thoughts at once. Yes, I was thinking just now, do these assassins really have no idea?" Why did it fail? It seems like it’s my turn!"
