Chapter 103 Action (3)
Looking at the big old monster with murderous intent in front of him, and looking at the cavalry rushing up behind him, Li Ming couldn't help but complain in a dilemma. The big old monster in front of him is not a simple person. Although he is seriously injured and even has his hand blown off, Li Ming never dared to take it lightly. The old monster's strength is too strong, and he can even kill himself with one hand. If he runs away, he will give him a chance to kill himself.
At this time, Zhao Crazy and the others had already thrown out the bombs in their hands and bombed the cavalry that were swarming up. They turned around and saw Li Ming and a man covered in blood nervously holding each other, and rushed behind the big monster to rescue Li Ming.
Before Zhao Fengzi and the others rushed in front of him, the old monster suddenly started. He stood up suddenly and threw the crutch in his hand towards Li Ming. The crutch was like a bullet out of the barrel, making a screaming sound towards Li Ming. Li Ming hurried to the toes, and used the floating fluttering skills to flash to the right.
The old monster suddenly rose up and rushed towards Li Ming's dodging speed no slower than the crutch. In a blink of an eye, Li Ming blocked and then slapped Li Ming's head with one palm. The old monster's rush fully reflected the judgment and experience of a top master. The timing was right. This palm had no fancy moves, and there was only speed, as fast as lightning! When Li Ming's old breath had finished, his new energy had not yet arisen, and his body was about to descend in the air, and there was no room for movement, the old monster's palm had reached the top of Li Ming's head.
If this palm with the lifelong skills of the big monster hit Li Ming's head, Li Ming would have no luck with his brain bursting. In fact, the big monster in the air thought so, but he never expected that at this critical moment, someone actually grabbed his belt, threw him high, and went far towards the cavalry community.
Li Ming escaped from death and landed on the ground, looking in the direction where the big monster flew out in a frightened way. The cavalry, who had been blown away by the bomb, had become a soldier. Now he saw something much bigger than the bomb, why didn't they frighten? But the war horses were already in a mess, and how could they avoid it in a hurry? In desperation, the cavalry within the landing range had to raise their spears and stab at the big monster.
The poor old monster, the palm that just now had exhausted all his strength. Although he saw the spear like a forest below, he was unable to resist. In this way, the old monster that fell to the ground had become like a hedgehog.
A masked man in black fell to Li Ming, slapped the stunned Li Ming with a palm, and whispered: "Why don't you leave quickly! I'm here to resist, you will lead your people to retreat quickly."
Li Ming hurriedly thanked and said, "Hero's life-saving grace."
"Okay!" Hei Yiren interrupted Li Ming's nonsense impatiently and said anxiously: "If you don't retreat quickly, you will inevitably implicate me when the army arrives. There is no need to say anything nonsense, leave quickly!"
Li Ming's face turned red, he looked at the anxious eyes of the man in black and said nothing. He just clasped his fists at the man in black and called Gao Wei and Zhao Crazy to run towards the Yang Mansion.
The violent explosions, the sound of horse horse hooves, and the screams of the crowd also attracted those who didn't come out to watch the fun. Curiosity is the instinct of all creatures, but sometimes curiosity can kill a person's life. Just like now, there are people running around everywhere on the streets, some looking for a place to hide when they saw the tragic phenomenon just now, some who just came out of their homes to see the truth, and some who were illegal people taking advantage of the situation. In short, today's Nanguo City is really messy. Teams of city guards on the street desperately blocked the crowds running around, trying to calm people down, but compared with the unarmed people, their number seems to be too small.
However, it was precisely because of the chaos on the street that Li Ming and the others could move towards the gathering place safely. There were crowds of people running everywhere on the street, who would pay attention to Li Ming's small group of people? So, although they were working hard among the crowd, they were still very happy to see the current situation. At the same time, what made Li Ming very strange was that they had only crossed a few streets, which means that they were only a few streets away from the scene of the incident. However, the city guards here seemed to have no idea what happened, and were not busy chasing the robbers, but were just busy maintaining order. This seemed to be inconsistent with the strict guard system of the imperial city that Li Ming heard from Shen Tong. Is it Shen Tong exaggerating the facts? Or was there something unexpected happening? This really made Li Ming a little puzzled.
With the chaos on the street, Li Ming and his men struggled to approach the Yang Mansion. But the situation now seems to be more dangerous than before. Just now, they met ordinary people all over the street to cover it. Li Ming and his friends’ goals were not very obvious, but there were not many residents near the Shangshu Mansion. This area is a gathering area for officials, and the streets are sparsely populated, and the riots just now did not reach here. Li Ming and his friends were all covered in blood and in a mess. If they were discovered by the patrolling city guards, these ten people would be surrounded immediately. Seeing that the destination was right in front of them, but it was as insurmountable as the Milky Way in the sky, which made Li Ming and others hiding in an empty room frown.
Time passed minute by minute. As the sky was about to pass noon, the soldiers patrolling the nearby streets did not decrease at all, and the noisy noise in the distance gradually calmed down. Obviously, the city guards had stabilized the situation. If they didn't rush over now, they would be even more unable to escape when the city guards searched the city. Besides, if everyone else escaped, they would definitely be waiting for them anxiously in the Yang Mansion. If Li Ming didn't, they would probably not leave. At that time, wouldn't it mean that their plan failed?
Li Ming, helpless, suddenly became cruel and whispered to everyone: "It is not a solution to stay like this. We rushed over. They must have been waiting for us. As long as we are fast enough, we can fully sneak into the river before the team arrives. The madman takes the lead, and the others are surrounding Mr. Gao, let's go!" After saying that, he opened the door and rushed out first.
As soon as a group of people passed through two alleys, they met a patrolling team of city guards. Before the city guards could interrogate, Li Ming led everyone to rush forward, and in a blink of an eye, more than 20 people were chopped over. The remaining soldiers were stunned, shouted, turned around and ran away without a trace.
Li Ming looked at the backs of the soldiers who disappeared from the corner of the wall in surprise and asked Zhao Fengzi: "What are they running? We have killed more than 20 of them, but they still have more than 50 of them. Are we really that scary? It's not like that."
Zhao Crazy smiled, grabbed Gao Wei and ran forward and said, "I also find it strange when I say this. The City Guards can be called the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers in the world. This is not someone who puts gold on their faces, but it is indeed the case. Our generals used the assessment standards of the City Guards to assess us many times, and even we couldn't stand it. Will such elite soldiers turn around and run away like what we encountered today? I don't believe it if I kill them, but the facts are in front of us. The one who escaped in front of us was indeed the City Guards, and even the Iron Armored Army did not dare to show up. More than a thousand elites in the army ran faster than rabbits under the first round of bomb attacks. Why is this a little weird thing about this?"
Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just you, but my feelings are very strange. Is today's incident a total conspiracy? They want to fish for big fish for a long line and kill us all in one go? Or is the bomb attack that scared them and made them dare not confront us? I can't figure it out. So, now I decided to take one step, no matter what conspiracy he is or not, anyway, I am the generals of the army and the water comes to the earth and dams. Now it's a matter of rushing back quickly.
After running a few streets in a hurry, a group of people finally arrived at the Yang Mansion. During this period, a group of people met several groups of patrolling city guards. But just as they were preparing to fight, the city guards seemed to have not seen them and turned their heads and left. This made these people even more confused. Didn’t they see them all covered in blood and holding weapons in their hands?
Zhao Fengzi knocked on the back door several times according to the secret code that he had made the appointment, and the back door was immediately opened. Seeing Gao Fei's anxious face, the ten people who fought all the time immediately felt weak and almost exhausted.
Following Gao Fei, Li Ming asked while walking, "How are you preparing here? Can you get on the water immediately? We don't have much time left. How is the investigation on the dock? Did the transport ship arrive on time? By the way, how are Marshal Zhang and General Yuchi?"
Gao Fei led the roadside and replied, "Everything was going well here. I just photographed people to investigate. There were indeed two big ships parked on the dock, with red flags hanging on the ship. I had already told them the matter in the original place. They were still very angry and blamed me for ruining their reputation for loyalty and righteousness. But when I learned that this matter was presided over by you and Mr. Gao Wei, they said nothing. But I think they were still not very happy. You should tell them later. I am worried that they would not agree to escape."
Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I have always had this concern. Both of them are foolish and loyal people. If they refuse to leave, they will have to knock them out and take them away. Haha, although they are not very respectful to them, it is better than everyone who is wiped out here."
Gao Fei stuck out his tongue and smiled, "I won't participate in this matter then, otherwise my general will have to peel my skin. Sir, this matter must be you. My general admires you very much, so if you do this, my general and Marshal Zhang are not good at saying anything."
Li Ming laughed and said, "You guy has a good idea! There is no way. Leave this matter to me then, but maybe I don't have to take action?"
While talking, everyone had already arrived at the house in the back garden. Gao Fei pushed open the door and turned around to invite Li Ming and Gao Wei to walk in.
On the two chairs in the room, Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong were sitting there with no expression on their faces, and the pastries and tea on the coffee table in front did not move at all. Behind them, several guards stood there at a loss, looking at each other, not knowing what to do. But when Li Ming and Gao Wei came in, they obviously let out a sigh of relief.
When Li Ming entered the door, he saw Zhang Meng with a haggard face. His heart suddenly shook, and Zhang Yao's anxious face flashed in his mind. Although he strongly opposed being with Zhang Yao, he was Zhang Yao's father after all, and this could not be changed no matter what. At present, he was in this situation, which was more or less related to his taking Zhang Yao away, and he had to make compensation no matter what. Moreover, he was trapped in a foreign land and was separated from his parents. Zhang Meng would be equivalent to replacing his father in the future. Thinking of his father, Li Ming couldn't help but feel sad and kneeled in front of Zhang Meng with a plop.
Zhang Meng raised his haggard face and looked at Li Ming kneeling in front of him with an excited expression. His lips were shaking, but he couldn't say a word. The tears in his eyes couldn't help but roll off his face. Although Li Ming kidnapped his daughter and made him lose the only support in his life, his daughter was willing to follow him. Although he couldn't figure it out, it was already a fact. Besides, he was in the prison for more than a month, and his daughter had no news. It didn't matter if he died, but he didn't know how his daughter lived, so he died with his eyes open. Now, although he didn't want to admit it, his de facto son-in-law was kneeling in front of him, which made him unable to suppress his emotions anymore and tears could not help but surge out.
Looking at Zhang Meng's true feelings, Li Ming seemed to have found the feeling of his long-lost father. He couldn't help but burst into tears, respectfully and sincerely bowed to Zhang Menglian. Here, Li Ming has used this ancient etiquette sincerely for the second time since he came to this world. In his current opinion, this etiquette can really fully express his respect and gratitude to his elders.
Zhang Meng wiped tears with the back of his hand, and a happy smile appeared on his face. At this moment, all the misunderstandings and unhappiness between the two in the past were thrown out of the sky. In Zhang Meng's heart, there was another relative in front of him, a relative who was a little stranger to him: son-in-law. He couldn't help but stand up and help Li Ming kneeling on the ground, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "I thought I would never see a relative again in my life, but I didn't expect that I would be satisfied to see my son-in-law before I died! Li Ming, I know your feelings, but you don't understand my feelings. I, Zhang Meng
I devote all my life to the emperor, loyal and courageous. Although I am a rude man, I also know that the king's order cannot be violated. Although I am wronged, since the emperor wants to kill me, I must not resist. My loyalty and righteousness must not be destroyed by you. Li Ming, take everyone away. You are innocent. If you can come to save me, it means that Yao'er has not misunderstood the person in the future. His future life will be entirely up to you. Being able to see you before dying has already satisfied me. You can leave quickly. It is impossible to make me betray the emperor's imperial edict. Don't waste too much quarrels, okay?"
Li Ming said anxiously: "My father-in-law, you are completely foolish and loyal! Even though you know that you are wronged, you are still rushing to die. This is irresponsible to yourself, irresponsible to the Tang Dynasty, and even irresponsible to the emperor. The emperor doesn't know that you have wronged you now, but what if he knows that day? Then you make the emperor regret it, you are a loyal minister? Besides, if I don't save you this time, what will I do to see Yao'er? If you don't leave, I will go to the execution ground with you to commit suicide! In addition, I suspect that this time this matter is completely a conspiracy, and the order to execute you two was not given by the emperor himself. I have long been suspicious of this. Think about it, have you ever seen the emperor after you returned to the imperial city?"
Zhang Meng was stunned and pondered: "This is strange, I'm also strange when you say this. I received an imperial edict accusing me of rebellion in the inn. I have never seen the emperor before."
"That's right." Li Ming hurriedly interrupted Zhang Meng's words and said, "There must be a conspiracy in this matter. Don't you want to find out? I have a plan to see if it's OK? First of all, since you suspect that this family is strange, you should find out. You may not know that your Mengyin City has now fallen into the hands of Yuan Xi, the second prince's confidant, and General Yuchi's Southern Dian Prefecture has fallen into the hands of Shi Han, the third prince's confidant. This is all facts. Please be sure to believe what I said. Think about it, with the emperor's temperament, will he allow military power to fall into the hands of his son? That will cause chaos in the world! So I said, you must not let it go now. After you were executed, you have fulfilled your reputation, but you have left the safety of the Tang Dynasty alone. This is not true loyalty!"
Zhang Meng was obviously moved by Li Ming's last sentence. He stood up solemnly and said to Li Ming: "Fortunately, your reminder, otherwise I would have become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty. Yes, there is a conspiracy in this matter, I must check it out clearly. By the way, Yuchi Xiong is Yuchi Xiong."
Li Ming looked back and found that no one in the room except himself and Zhang Meng had gone to.
It turned out that just as Li Ming knelt down to Zhang Meng, Gao Wei had already taken off the disguise on his face and walked to Yuchi Xiong and patted him on the shoulder. Yuchi Xiong, who was guessing about the relationship between Li Ming and Zhang Meng, turned around and saw the face of his long-lost old friend in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. He hurriedly followed Gao Wei's instructions and walked outside with the others in the house.
Yuchi Xiong is also a man who stands tall, but like Zhang Meng, he also has a foolish and loyal heart. However, under the persuasion of his old friend, the begging of his guards for many years, and the affection of his distant wife, he finally compromised. In fact, one thing that everyone still doesn't know is that Yuchi Xiong's son. Because he could not bear the harsh conditions in the prison, Yuchi Ying, who had been spoiled since childhood, committed suicide by hitting a wall in the prison. When he was dying, he still
He cared about his father and asked his father to find a way to escape, which was also one of the main reasons that prompted Yuchi Xiong to agree to escape. But he also had a condition, that is, if Zhang Meng did not agree to leave, he would be determined to stay, and the two of them must advance and retreat together. In desperation, Gao Wei and the others had to wait outside anxiously for news from Zhang Meng and Li Ming. Hearing Zhang Meng calling in the house, Yuchi Xiong hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.
Zhang Meng told Yuchi Xiong the analysis in its original form, and then said, "Now you know, this matter is not normal. I believe what Li Ming said, because he is my son-in-law and will not lie to me. Besides, this matter made me doubt from the beginning, but I dare not have the idea of being disrespectful to the emperor, so I did not discuss it in depth. But now I think about it, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to do it, so I decided to escape first and then find a way to investigate this matter. Yuchi Xiong, I also know that you are loyal, but Li Ming's words just woke me up. He told me that although death now has fulfilled my reputation of loyalty and righteousness, it is the most irresponsible manifestation of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, now I also want to use this sentence to persuade you to escape with me, and then my brothers and two of us investigate this matter together."
After hearing this, Gao Wei and others were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "It's great. Since Marshal Zhang has decided to escape, General Yuchi will definitely leave, right?"
Yuchi Xiong nodded and said, "Since my brother has decided, I will follow you, and follow your leader."
Li Ming hurriedly said, "Okay, since we have decided, we will act as soon as possible! Time is too long, maybe the officers and soldiers will be able to find the ones here soon. Gao Fei, prepare the submersible equipment immediately and let's set off!"
Gao Fei agreed happily and hurriedly took the guards to prepare the submersible equipment. Li Ming and Gao Wei took Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong directly to the lakeside of the garden. At this time, the noise in the city was getting less and less, but the neat footsteps and the sound of horse horse racing horses from time to time still showed the tense atmosphere in the city.
Gao Fei and others brought the submersible equipment to the lake, and then Zhao Fengzi took ten people to wear it and went into the water first, forming a vanguard force to explore the road and guard. On this side, Li Ming held a helmet and explained in detail the methods and precautions for underwater use to Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong.
Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong, who didn't know how Li Ming used to escape from the city, admired Li Ming so much that they were full of admiration after listening to Li Ming's explanation and plan. They really didn't expect that there was such a unique escape method in the world. This method seemed impossible at first, but after careful consideration, they found that this was the safest and most perfect method. Just now, Yuchi Xiong was wearing a helmet and stretched out his thumb to praise Li Ming, and Zhang Meng beside him was so happy that he couldn't stop praising him, as if he was praising himself.
In a short while, the remaining people were dressed properly. At that moment, Li Ming led the people, Gao Fei led ten guards to protect Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong, and walked slowly towards the depths of the lake. Just as it was about to enter the water, a "wow" sound suddenly sounded beside Li Ming, and a big iron head appeared in front of Li Ming. Li Ming was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back and watched carefully. The man had already taken off the helmet from his head. It turned out to be Zhao Crazy.
While panting quickly, Zhao Fengzi shouted in despair: "Train! There is a trap in front of it! All the ship are officers and soldiers. One of our brothers was discovered just after they appeared on the side of the ship. As a result, we were shot to death by arrows on the spot and retreated quickly. I observed that there were people around the dock, and the ship was filled with archers. This is a trap! Our retreat has been blocked! We can't get out!"
Chapter completed!
