Chapter 53(1/2)
Two enemies, one wants you to die, and the other wants to use you, how would you choose?
If the Ninth Lady dies, the next one Deng Xiucai will be killed is Tang Fan.
Therefore, Tang Fanfei could not let Ninjae die, but also wanted to find her people to help her. This woman was not the same as Deng Xiucai, and she was not as cruel as him, but she had a lot of room for discussion.
The fight between Deng Xiucai and Jiu Niangzi alarmed many people. Everyone was at a loss when they saw the two leaders fighting themselves and rushed to the entrance of the cellar, blocking the entrance immediately.
Tang Fan ran not far away and saw the guards who had just followed Ninth Lady, and hurriedly said, "Brother, go and have a look. Ahan and the Second Head of the Army have started fighting. The Second Head of the Army is going to kill her!"
Nine Lady wanted to lust Tang Fan just now, and even told some ulterior motives. Naturally, she had to send her personal guard away. Tang Fan did not call Nine Lady but called Ahan, so that the guard knew that his relationship with Nine Lady was extraordinary.
Sure enough, the guard's face changed drastically as soon as he heard it: "Where are they?"
In fact, there is no need for Tang Fan to say that the guards had heard the sound of weapons coming from not far away.
He rushed forward without saying a word, and Tang Fan followed him and said, "Brother, you have to rescue Ahan. Nothing can happen to Ahan!"
The guard naturally didn't care about him anymore and directly pushed the crowd away and rushed in.
Tang Fan was not far away, but he heard Deng Xiucai shouting suddenly: "I'm still standing still! I'll kill this woman side by side, so I can't let her go back to the chief counselor to complain!"
Nine Lady shouted: "You dare!"
There was no shortage of breath in her tone, which showed that she was gradually at a disadvantage.
This is a desperate attempt to kill someone to silence you!
Tang Fan changed color slightly, so he didn't care about anything else and ran outside.
In this case, no one paid attention to Tang Fan's whereabouts.
When the two groups of people were in a melee, Tang Fan had already avoided the cellar where food was piled up at the bend in front. When many people ran to join the battle group, he came out of the hiding cellar and ran straight forward, hoping to find the exit here.
Here are two completely opposite directions from where he went to A Dong and the others to hide. Tang Fan firmly believed that with Deng Xiucai's cunning, he would definitely not have only set up an entrance or exit, otherwise if he was blocked, it would be like a turtle in a jar.
This small underground maze is actually not big, because there are only a few cellars, mainly connecting the cellar to the winding road, which is very twisty and turns, and it is easy to confuse people.
After going around in circles and a long time, he had to avoid the road that might be guarded by someone in the middle. Tang Fan finally found a place that seemed to be an exit because there was an upward slope and there were two people guarding it.
Now, in order to kill Ninth Lady, Deng Xiucai summoned all his subordinates, but these two people are still here, which shows that their guard must be very important and must be one of the entrances and exits.
He is now trapped in a thief cave alone. He cannot take the children out by himself, otherwise he might not be able to go out yet. Not only will he be killed by himself, he will also cause the children to suffer.
So although he wanted to run to Adong and rescue them immediately, reason still told him that he could not do this.
Adong and the others are Deng Xiucai's money tree. Deng Xiucai would not touch them easily, otherwise they would not be willing to take a big spy for them and go against the court. But Tang Fan is different. He has no effect on Deng Xiucai at all, and will become a burden on his escape.
So the best way is to save himself first, take advantage of the chaos to escape, then move the rescuers back, catch Deng Xiucai and others in one go, and save Adong and the others.
But he realized vaguely pessimistically that the civil strife might end soon, and that the scholar Deng was full of power, and the Ninth Lady could not defeat him.
This is also because the ninth lady was too proud and complacent, thinking that Deng Xiucai did not dare to treat her as a guest minister of the Nancheng Gang, so she fought against Deng Xiucai everywhere.
Who knew that Deng Xiucai had been suppressing for a long time and had the intention of killing people to silence him. It happened that in the wilderness, as long as he solved all the Jiu Niangzi's men and framed them to the government, no one knew that he did it.
Of course, Tang Fan was not worried about Ninth Lady. The woman looked easy to talk to and was preparing to return the children to Tang Fan, but that was just because she wanted to go against Deng Xiucai, and definitely not because she was a kind person.
However, if the Ninth Lady died and Suizhou and the others had not arrived yet, they would be in a very dangerous situation.
Seeing that the exit was just a short distance, Tang Fan could not go forward and could only hide in the dark and was helpless. This kind of person was on the custody and the situation of me being fish was really anxious and helpless.
No matter how Tang Fan was full of wisdom, he could not think of any way for a while.
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from far and near.
Before Tang Fan could think about it carefully, he hurriedly hid in a concave shadow next to him.
But I saw several people running towards the two guarding the exit at the passage, and one of the latter asked, "What's wrong!"
Another person said: "Miss Ninth is dead, the second leader is asking us to retreat!"
The man was shocked: "Miss Nine is dead? How did he die!"
The other party smiled and scolded: "Are you confused by the beauty of that woman? You care about this?" He lowered his voice again, "She was killed by the Second Head, and together with his two subordinates, you said that the woman could not get along with the Second Head, and the Second Head, it would be strange if the Second Head would not kill her!"
The person who asked the question knew the relationship between Jiu Niangzi and the White Lotus Sect, and hurriedly said, "But isn't she the envoy of the rank of the rank? Is it appropriate to kill her like this?"
The other party said, "Don't mention it. We have to pay them money every year. They can enjoy the fruits without doing anything. The second chief has long wanted to turn against them. Anyway, there are people from the government coming to intervene this time. When the time comes, I will push the death of the woman to the government, and no one can doubt us!"
The man had some brains and hesitated when he heard this, "Will we be wanted by both the magistrate and the government?"
The other party was impatient: "Stop talking nonsense. The second head of the army said that the people who came to pick up the responders from the village arrived. Get clean up quickly and prepare to retreat before the government officials came! One of the left-behind exits here should be responsible for the rear of the palace so that the enemy would not be beaten from behind! Also, the boy tied by Luo Crook ran away. Have you seen him?"
The man said, "No, we are here to guard it, and we dare not leave for a moment, and we didn't see a single ghost!"
The other party said, "Just just now, in order to deal with that woman, I was a little confused for a moment. The person who was responding outside came again. There was a shortage at another exit. The second and third heads suspected that the boy ran out in the chaos. Anyway, if you see it later, you will kill the matter together!"
Tang Fan thought about why another third leader came to the third leader. When he thought about it, he suddenly realized that when he went to meet Deng Xiucai just now, there was another old man next to him, and it was probably the third leader of the third leader.
As Deng Xiucai killed Jiu Niangzi and prepared to retreat and transfer, Tang Fan's treatment also changed from "must kill" to "kill by the way when he saw it", but he did not feel any joy at all.
Because once Deng Xiucai escapes into the mountains, it is equivalent to the dragon returning to the sea, and it will be hard to find traces at that time!
The two of them agreed, and then another sound of footsteps left.
The two of them started to speak in a low voice.
A question asked: "The second head of the army asked us to leave, so when will it be appropriate for us to leave? We can't wait until everyone has left before leaving?"
Another said: "Wait a minute, if you leave too early and you are seen by the second leader, you will blame us."
The companion before said, "Can the boy the second in commander still look for?"
The other party said, "You are stupid, what are you looking for? Escape is important. When we and the second head of the army go up the mountain, the government can't find us, and we are still worried about leaking the secret!"
Tang Fan Wuxin heard the two people again. He was secretly anxious, afraid that Adong and the others would be taken away by Deng Xiucai, so he returned carefully along the way.
At this time, Deng Xiucai killed Nine Lady and her two men, and had already led everyone to retreat from another exit. No matter how fast he was, he was dragged by a group of children. It took a lot of time just to bring them out of the cellar.
A Dong kept in mind Tang Fan's instructions and knew that these bad guys would not kill them easily, so he deliberately delayed and slowly fell to the ground, sobbing and saying that he could not walk. The bandit had no choice but to raise her back and lead her forward.
The people left one after another, and Tang Fan followed from afar. He faintly heard them saying that there were already carriages coming to pick them up outside. He couldn't help but be even more anxious. Seeing that they had left the hole, they took an opportunity to run out and hid behind the big rock next to them.
Half an hour ago, if he could leave here, he would definitely go to get the reinforcements quickly. But now Tang Fan only thought that he would not let these people run away like this, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find A Dong and the others in the future.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about protecting himself first, so he shouted "Stop" and walked out from behind the stone.
In the open wilderness, such a loud shout was like a thunder on the ground, which scared the boss. Deng Xiucai immediately turned around.
When he saw Tang Fan, he was stunned at first, and then smiled sinisterly: "I thought you ran away and planned to let you have a life, but you jumped out by yourself. It's really a light in the toilet, looking for death!"
Tang Fan dissipated his sleeves and calmly said: "I did escape first, and then contacted the Jinyiwei and the Xichang. They were five miles away and could arrive soon!"
His words caused a slight commotion. When he heard that the officials were coming, the people from the Nancheng Gang all showed a slight confusion.
Tang Fan naturally could not wait for Deng Xiucai to calm the hearts of the people, and immediately rushed ahead to him and said, "Second leader, to be honest, I don't want to force you to have no way out, but since you killed Jiu Niangzi and broke with the White Lotus Sect, there will be no way out. If you get into evil with the government, you will be both sides of the world, and you are afraid that the situation will be worrying. Even if you flee to the mountains, the court will dispatch troops to wipe out you in an instant! In this case, why can't we shake hands and make peace? As long as you hand over all the children, I can plead for you from Wang Changgong and Beizhen Fushi. Your brothers also have a way out, why not do it?"
Deng Xiucai sneered: "You are so light-hearted, but unfortunately you are not the emperor, otherwise I would have believed you. Now I have gone from secret to the point of being a secret, and it is no longer useful to those named Wan. He wishes to push me out and take the blame, so how could he spare us because of your plea! Instead of surviving under others, it is better to stand on the mountaintop and rather die on the pile of gold and silver than be a slave for others!"
Tang Fan bowed and said, "Second leader, I respect you as a man. Can you discuss whether you can leave the children, but it doesn't matter if you leave. When the Jinyiwei and the people from the West Factory arrive later, I will naturally help stop them and prevent them from catching up with you. Both sides will take a step back. How about this?"
His expression was so calm. He faced more than 20 people from the Nancheng Gang alone, without fear and talked freely, which made the Nancheng Gang members involuntarily believe his words. The old man who seemed to be the third leader even said to Deng Xiucai: "The second leader, he is right. We have now turned a flirting with the White Lotus Sect. It is best not to make too much trouble with the people in the government, otherwise we will be afraid of being attacked on both sides..."
Deng Xiucai raised his hand and stopped the other party from continuing to speak. His eyes were staring at Tang Fan, and at this moment he said coldly: "I almost believed you, you have no reinforcements at all, and you dare to bluff here!"
Tang Fan did not change his expression and raised his eyebrows and said, "How can I see it?"
Deng Xiucai grinned: "Because when you were caught, I had searched myself and searched out all the items. What did you use to inform the government officials! I just saw that you pretended to be quite like you, and I almost got blinded by you! Why didn't you kill him for me!"
Tang Fan said so much bluffing nonsense, originally to delay time, but he didn't expect that the other party would see through so quickly. Seeing the two strong men of the Nancheng Gang walking towards him with steel knives, he couldn't help but sternly: "Stop! Reinforcements are behind you!"
Deng Xiucai was unmoved: "I won't do it for me!"
He had regarded Tang Fan as a dead man, and while he was talking, he rolled over the horse, while another carriage carrying children had begun to drive forward.
Tang Fanyi was not careful. The two sharp steel knives had arrived and could not escape.
He had tried his best to delay time, but Suizhou and the others were not showing up for a long time. Even if they had all kinds of tricks, they could not defeat ten times with one force.
Tang Fan was helpless and could not run away. He thought that my life would be over, so he simply closed his eyes and led his neck to be killed.
After a few breaths, the steel knife that was supposed to be chopped on the top of his head had not arrived for a long time, and the expected pain had not come. However, he heard the sound of breaking through the air in his ears. He couldn't help but open his eyes and found that the situation in front of him had already undergone a drastic change!
The two big men who were about to kill him fell down, one with a vest with an embroidered spring knife and the other with a feather arrow on its head.
There are several other feather arrows, either shot on horses or on humans.
The horse was injured and frightened, and the neighing sounded overturned the person to the ground.
Deng Xiucai was shocked and angry, and immediately made a quick decision and shouted to everyone: "The wind is tight!"
However, it was obviously half a step late. Four figures rushed down from the mountains and forests ahead and rushed towards them. Looking closely, they were the four people in Suizhou!
Suizhou's hands were empty, so it was not difficult to see that it was he who shot out the embroidered spring sword in his hand to deal with one of the people who wanted to kill Tang Fan.
Tang Fan shouted "The knife is here", then pulled the Xiuchun Sword out of the man's back. He didn't care about the blood splashing, so he threw the Xiuchun Sword towards Suizhou!
The latter jumped up beautifully, steadily caught the knife in the air, and injured another bandit with his backhand.
Deng Xiucai's men are not weak, especially his confidants, not to mention his skills. Just a few people from Suizhou returned, at best, only Deng Xiucai lost a few people, so that they would not be so panic.
What really reversed the situation was the men brought by Wang Zhi!
The feather arrows just now were shot out from the hands of the Xichang Fanzi.
