When Xiao Ding and Sikong Zhaiyue arrived, they were truly stunned by the sight in front of them.
Bodies were scattered all over the ground, either lying on the ground or lying on cars. The blood on the ground had condensed, and the escort flags soaked in the ground were stained with blood and soil.
The overturned lantern had burned to ashes, the frightened horses kept neighing, and their hooves had dug holes in the ground, but they could not break free from the reins.
Darts destroy people and kill them.
Thirteen corpses.
Fourteen people, and one more person.
Xiao Ding had already seen Tang Xiaotian leaning on a tree trunk by the road.
Tang Xiaotian has seen them.
His eyes were dull and his face was desolate, as if he had aged dozens of years in this short period of time.
He didn't say anything. He felt too tired. The things that had weighed on his heart over the years were like a huge mountain, making him unable to breathe.
Until Tang Qingqing held his hand tightly and called him daddy while crying.
This call suddenly awakened his soul that was about to fall into the abyss.
"You are finally willing to call me daddy again..." Tang Xiaotian's lonely face finally had a hint of emotion, and his words sounded comforting but also bitter.
"Dad, I'm sorry, my daughter is unfilial and has made you suffer..." Tang Qingqing was already crying.
The father and daughter finally hugged each other tightly and settled their differences.
After checking the wounds of the thirteen bodyguards, Xiao Ding frowned and said in a deep voice: "These people's attacks are clean and neat. They can defeat the enemy with one move and then retreat immediately. They are never sloppy. They are obviously well-trained killers, and they are very serious about themselves." The approach is very confident."
Tang Xiaotian has gradually regained his consciousness. He was not injured, but he suffered a huge blow in his heart and could not recover for a while. This was the second time in his life that he encountered such a terrifying opponent.
"Thirteen people, who call themselves the Thirteen Taibao, except for the masks on their faces, they act like one person. Especially the man in the white mask, his martial arts and speaking voice are like coming from hell. There is nothing so scary in the world. Martial arts." Tang Xiaotian said hoarsely.
Thirteen Taibao, masked man?
Xiao Ding was pacing back and forth on the road. Whenever this happened, Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu would not disturb him, because they knew that he must be thinking about some important issues in this situation.
Xiao Ding suddenly took out a jar of wine from the "Cloud Car" and handed it to Tang Xiaotian. Tang Xiaotian did not refuse and drank a lot of wine.
He drank too quickly, and he inevitably choked and coughed. However, after the strong alcohol entered his throat, he soon felt his blood pumping, and his suppressed emotions gradually eased.
After everyone heard him describe the situation at that time, they were all shocked.
Xiao Ding put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "There are some things here that cannot be explained."
Sikong Zhaiyue felt that he had waited too long and asked urgently: "What can't be explained?"
"Although we don't know whether the Thirteen Taibao of Lin'an always wear masks in their daily activities, there are only two purposes of wearing masks. One is to conceal people's eyes and ears, and the other is to pretend to be mysterious. For such a large robbery, the normal approach must be Killing people and silencing them without leaving any clues, but these people not only left alive, but also reported their homes for fear that others would not be able to find a way to trace the whereabouts of the escorts. Of course there is a problem here." When Xiao Ding explained, Sikong Zhaiyue He kept nodding his head frequently, seeming to admit that what he said was reasonable.
"We have been traveling all the way, and there are no signs of abnormality along the way. Why did the Thirteen Taibao choose to attack Daye, which is thousands of miles away from Lin'an?" Xiao Ding continued to analyze.
Sikong Zhaiyue held his chin with three fingers of his right hand, and kept scratching the short beard on his chin with his index finger. He saw that Xiao Ding often pinched his brows, so he created this action himself. He felt that this action was much more chic than Xiao Ding's brow pinching.
He suddenly stopped what he was doing and said, "Bandits are usually rampant here, and the official roads are so complicated, with many twists and turns and dense forests. Could it be that the other party guessed that the escort car would travel at night, so they chose to act here?"
Xiao Ding shook his head and denied: "Since the white masked man's martial arts are so high, why does he care about day or night? Even if he openly goes to the chief rudder of the Evergreen Escort Agency and robs these escort items, what can others do? "
Ye Rongqiu interjected: "Are they acting so arrogantly just to demonstrate? Show off to the world of martial arts that the Thirteen Taibao of Lin'an are omnipotent?"
Xiao Ding laughed and said: "How is it possible? No one in the world can be so ignorant and arrogant. Think about it, with the strength of the Qinglong Society and the Money Gang, even they can only choose to hide in the darkness and dare not openly fight against the world. How can the enemy, just thirteen people, despise the world?"
There were still tears on Tang Qingqing's face, but she had untied the knot she had felt for many years and her father and daughter were reunited. She seemed to be in a good mood. She thought about it and suddenly said: "Could it be that these people are not the real Thirteen Taibao at all? They deliberately Why don't you kill my father just to point the clue to the real Lin'an Thirteen Taibao and divert our attention? "
"This possibility is not ruled out, but if it is so, it seems a bit superfluous. With the martial arts of the white masked man, there is no chance that my uncle will survive. They just left after robbing the darts without anyone noticing. Why bother?" Ding frowned.
Sikong Zhaiyue shouted: "It's neither this nor that. It's so annoying. You can think about it slowly, but can you first think about how to deal with these corpses?"
Thirteen corpses, how to deal with them?
It's not impossible to bury it on the spot, but it has to be buried until tomorrow at least. If it can be buried before dark tomorrow, it will be considered fast.
The reins were cut and the horses fled in all directions. They seemed to be free and could finally run to the wilderness they longed for, but who could know their next fate.
Thirteen corpses were placed on the escort cart. Tang Xiaotian threw the lantern in his hand into the escort cart. In an instant, it burst into flames and flames shot into the sky.
Tang Xiaotian clenched his teeth and his eyes were about to burst. He murmured: "Brothers, have a good journey. May Tang find out the person who robbed the escort as soon as possible and avenge all the brothers!"
The dart has been lost, and the dart has destroyed people and killed them. Where can he go?
He now felt like those horses that had escaped from the reins just now. Although they were not restrained, they didn't know where to go in the vast night.
Perhaps the real restraint is not the reins on the body, but the shackles in the heart.
What are Tang Xiaotian's shackles? Is it hatred or family honor?
Either way, he was not free, at least not as free as the horses.
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky, Xiao Ding said slowly: "No matter who the other party's true identity is, there are only two possibilities for their action this time."
Tang Xiaotian looked at Xiao Ding and asked slowly: "What are the two possibilities?"
"The first possibility is that they already know that the convoy of the Evergreen Escort Agency is following us, so they can only move at night; the second possibility is that this matter was a trap from the beginning, and they have already planned everything and are waiting We'll dig in ourselves." Xiao Ding looked at the end of the road and smiled lightly.
In the dark night, as far as the eye can see, there is the end, but what about after dawn.
After dawn, the road has no end, because there is another road behind it. The more roads there are, the easier it is to go astray.
But having a road is much better than having no road at all. It is not terrible to take the wrong road, but the terrible thing is that there is no way to go.
Because if you take the wrong path, you will only take a detour at most, but you will eventually get to where you want to go.
There are not many roads at their feet now, only one.
Although there is only one way, there are different choices, you can go forward or go back.
Go forward to Lin'an, face challenges and move forward bravely;
He retreated back to Shu, accepted the defeat, and failed to recover.
The road is at your feet. Wherever you go, you always have a choice.
