Chapter 280 Shadow Dragon Guard
Fu Jingtao and the female Ling rushed out of Qiao's mansion, stepped on the tiles on the long street, and rushed to the west of the city like flying. The pursuers behind them refused to give up, either throwing darts or shooting arrows, trying to delay their pace, and then use the advantage of the number of people to encircle and strangle them.
The two of them changed their directions, and they swished! The hidden feather arrows brushed past their sides and hit the roof.
The sound of shouting, whistle, horse hooves, and strong winds intertwined like boiling, shattering the tranquility of the late night, and everyone was shocked.
The magistrate is the abbreviation of "the power of the military and state affairs". Military refers to soldiers and state refers to civil affairs. It is a local emperor who controls the military and political power of a state. There is no need to worry about pursuing assassins. The wing army stationed in the city was also alarmed, with horns whimpering, and long dragon-like torches lit up on the city walls. Two other teams of soldiers were neatly hung and rushed out of the barracks, with their armor clanging and their footsteps beating like drums.
The invisible evil spirit filled the air, and even the most ferocious guard dog was so scared that it did not dare to say anything.
The people closed their doors and windows, blew out the lights and candles, hid in the quilt and prayed silently to God for blessing.
No one dares to meddle in other people's business.
Survivors struggling in troubled times know that curiosity can kill people, and it is the ultimate truth to protect themselves. Even if there is a big uproar outside, it has nothing to do with yourself.
The entire western part of the city fell into a strange dead silence.
Fu Jingtao saw the soldiers of the Xiang army from afar and his heart sank. Could it be that there was no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground? No matter how confident he is, he cannot kill hundreds of soldiers to intercept them. He hurriedly said: "The Xiang army attacked at night, and the road ahead is blocked!"
The female singer snorted coldly, suddenly fell to the ground, turned into a maze-like alley, and flew quickly against the wall. Although the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the lights were turned off again, she was very familiar with the surrounding environment. When she encountered a fork in the alley, she did not hesitate, and went to the left and the right, and in a blink of an eye, she threw the pursuers away.
After a while, the two rushed into a winding quiet alley, headed straight to the end of the alley, climbed over a wall, and fell lightly into a small courtyard.
"Who is it?"
"It's me! Don't hold the light!"
I heard the door bolt in the wing room sounding lightly, and as the door panel was opened, a man of medium figure stepped out. He was dressed simply and had an honest and honest appearance. His eyes turned to Fu Jingtao, and he paused in the soles of his feet and said, "Shaoyao, you shouldn't break the rules."
The female actor said, "Is the rules important, or is life important?"
The man asked, "Who is chasing you?"
The female singer smiled bitterly and said, "It's the guards of Qiao's mansion and soldiers of the wing."
The man's face changed slightly. He looked at the female actor deeply, made a gesture, and signaled them to follow him into the room. The room was not big, with tables, chairs, beds and cabinets. The man moved away from the wardrobe at the end of the bed, lifted a square wooden board, revealing the entrance to the tunnel underneath, and whispered: "You can hide in the tunnel for the time being, don't make any sound no matter what you hear."
The female singer nodded and entered the tunnel first.
Fu Jingtao clasped his fists and bowed to the man, and then walked down to the tunnel.
The air in the tunnel was dirty, the walls were cold and moist, and I didn’t know where to go. Fu Jingtao walked several steps along the tilted steps, but heard the crackling sound above his head, the hole closed, and there was no trace of light in front of him, and he really couldn’t see his five fingers.
The female singer's cold voice sounded: "Let's rest for a while and wait and see what's going on."
Fu Jingtao said: "Okay!" He sat down slowly against the wall and adjusted his breathing luck, but the questions in his heart popped out one by one.
The female actor has a good martial arts and pretends to be a humble person. She obviously has other intentions. She is probably going to go for Fan Yundou. Her code name is "Shaoyao", and her companions lurk here to respond, which shows that there is a secret organization behind them. Since this organization knows Fan Yundou's smuggling goods, why didn't he arrest him and chop off his head? Why did this Shaoyao protect Fan Yundou without hesitating to reveal his identity?
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they remained silent in the darkness, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Fu Jingtao broke the silence and asked, "You are secret spies belonging to the court, right?"
The female actor said lightly: "How can you see it?"
Fu Jingtao said: "Fan Yundou privately trades iron arrows, and is suspected of colluding with enemies and selling the country, but only the court will pay special attention. Other forces in the martial arts world don't care at all. Moreover, Fan Yundou made friends with powerful figures such as Qiao Zhizhou and Lu Shiba. It can be said that black and white are both common. Who would be bored to find trouble for him? It is really against common sense that you have not taken any action to arrest this thief for a long time. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. Do you want to fish for big fish with a long line?"
The female singer sighed and said, "You broke into Qiao's house for assassination and had already alarmed the snake. I wonder if the original plan was still feasible?"
Fu Jingtao asked: "What is your plan?"
At this point, the female actor simply revealed it. It turned out that they were Shadow Dragon Guards affiliated to the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty. They were ordered to lurk in Tengzhou to collect evidence of Fan Yundou's reselling iron arrows. Fan Yundou not only bought Tengzhou officials, but also cleared up all relations so that he could transport tens of thousands of iron arrows to the border and sell them to foreigners at high prices.
This shocking scandal involves many officials, and must be checked one by one, and the case must be handled as a de facto case. It must not be arrested incorrectly or missed.
The Imperial City Department has been closely monitoring Fan Yundou's whereabouts, intending to dispatch border troops to arrest him when he transports goods to the border. Unexpectedly, Fu Jingtao emerged for no reason, almost completely ruining the plan.
The female singer said: "Tengzhou is just the starting point of Xinglongkui's business. Where will their convoy pass? Who will give them shelter? Where is the end point? Who will be the final buyer? These links have to be figured out so that the pustules can be eradicated! We have worked hard for several months and the net is about to close, and I hope we won't fail."
Fu Jingtao scratched his head and said, "According to what you said, wouldn't I have done something bad with kindness?"
"Yes!"
"How can I make up for my mistake?"
"Make up?" The female actor pondered for a moment and said softly: "I heard that your accent is not from Tengzhou? You are not old, are you?"
Fu Jingtao generously admitted: "I am from Lingyun Peak, and I am a disciple of Xuanyuan!"
The female actor shouted in a low voice: "No wonder you hate evil and have excellent martial arts skills. It turns out that you are a disciple of Xuanyuan! President Jiang is very wise and leads tens of thousands of disciples to help the Song Dynasty. It is really admirable."
After Xuanyuan Gate entered the Song Dynasty, it would change the pattern of fighting for hegemony in the world. She naturally knew the meaning of this matter, and her tone couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
At this moment, the ground was shaking, and the heavy foot sounds came from far to near, and then there were slapping and scolding sounds, as well as crying and sobbing from women and children. Whether it was the guards of Qiao's mansion or the soldiers patrolling the night, they were unscrupulous when searching the houses and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, they didn't know how many evil things they took the opportunity to do.
Fu Jingtao felt heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.
I only heard the foot sound above my head, and the sound of the door slamming clearly came to my ears.
The pursuers finally came to the door!
Chapter completed!
