Chen Xiaotian's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself: "This move to win is a bit superfluous. Such a bright and eye-catching war horse, let alone it is night, will be recognized by people even if it is walking on the street in broad daylight. Old Tianqi must have such a bright and eye-catching war horse." I won’t even ask for a horse.”
Just as he was thinking about it, Ma Desheng drove dozens of horses to the crowd. Seeing that Chen Xiaotian's face was as frosty as the horse's victory, he didn't take it seriously. He smiled and stepped forward and said: "General, according to your order, these forty fast horses have been prepared by my subordinates."
Chen Xiaotian frowned and nodded without saying a word. Ma Desheng still didn't care, turned around and said to Old Man Tianqi: "Old guy, the horses have been prepared for you, why don't you let Master Li go quickly?"
Old Man Tianqi laughed loudly and said: "You kid, do you think I am a three-year-old child? If I ride on these fancy war horses, wouldn't I become a moving target for you? No matter where I go, I will be recognized from eight feet away." "
Hearing this, Ma Desheng chuckled and said, "You don't understand this, but it's not your fault. Who made you lose your brains as you get older?"
Old Man Tianqi's face darkened and he said: "Young man, I advise you to be more respectful! If you have anything to say, just say it and stop being quick-tongued!"
Ma Desheng did not say anything, but walked slowly to a war horse covered in red silk, and said with a smile: "Old guy, if I were you, I would choose this horse. As long as you ride it, it will be the best horse in Jinling City tonight." An eye-catching old man!”
Old Man Tianqi snorted and ignored Ma Shengsheng. He turned to Chen Xiaotian and said, "Old General Chen, I cannot accept these forty horses. Could you please find forty more horses within one stick of incense?" "
Chen Xiaotian nodded and was about to agree when Ma De Sheng on the side said before him: "Wait a minute! Old man Tianqi, do you really not want the forty horses I brought?"
Old Man Tianqi sneered: "Give me a reason why I must choose them!"
Ma Desheng said: "Let me ask you, do you want to escape from Jinling City?"
The old man Tianqi was stunned, then laughed loudly, and said to Chen Xiaotian: "Old General Chen, for such a stupid subordinate, I advise you to send him home as soon as possible. Otherwise, what's the point of staying in the house and eating salty food?"
Chen Xiaotian was not upset when he heard this. Instead, he twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Saint, for your kindness. But I think it's better to listen to what he has to say first. What do you think?"
Ma Desheng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir." Then he jumped up, came to the old man Tianqi, and said with a smile: "Old man, why don't you answer my question?"
The old man Tianqi didn't want to talk nonsense, and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense! There is only half a stick of incense left. If we can't get forty horses by then, don't blame me for turning your back."
Ma Desheng heard this and said seriously: "If you want horses, let alone forty, I can find them for you even if they are four hundred. But what if there are hundreds or thousands of horses? You can't do it anyway." Escape from Jinling Mansion!"
Old Man Tianqi snorted and said, "Boy, I don't have time to argue with you here." After saying that, he quickly retreated to the northwest with Li Zhun on his back.
Seeing this, Ma Shengsheng said calmly: "Just leave like that? Don't want those forty war horses?"
Old Man Tianqi said: "If you still want this Master Li to survive, then drive forty horses to Xingqingfang to find me, otherwise just wait to collect his body!"
Ma Desheng smiled and said: "What do you need so many war horses for? I guess they are just distributed to your men to pretend to be suspicious and cover your escape, right?"
Old Man Tianqi said: "What if it is, so what if it is not?"
Ma Desheng said: "If you really have this idea, you are really stupid! Think about it, even if all eighty of you have special skills and strong martial arts, what can you do? Between tens of thousands of patrol troops and more than two hundred thousand In front of the sergeants of Jiangbei Camp, do you think that just a few dozen of you can break out of the encirclement and escape?"
When Old Man Tianqi heard this, he frowned and said impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say? If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't harp on it!"
Ma Desheng smiled slightly and said: "I'm here to show you a clear way. If you want to fish in troubled waters and escape, it will definitely not work. In this case, it is better to go out in a dignified manner." As he said that, he took the horse wrapped in red cloth. The bad horse came over and continued: "Old man, if you listen to me, just ride on it and leave here in a big way. Anyway, you have Mr. Li in your hands, and we don't dare to do anything to you. Why do you need to be so sneaky? Escape from Jinling like a bereaved dog?"
After hearing this, Old Man Tianqi thought carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. But then I thought again, how could Ma Desheng think for me? He clearly set a trap by saying this, trying to lure me into taking the bait.
Seeing the hesitation on old man Tianqi's face, Ma Desheng chuckled and said, "Old man, do you suspect that I am lying to you?"
The old man Tianqi sneered: "To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief! I am the enemy of you, what good ideas can you come up with for me?!"
Ma Desheng said disdainfully: "Old man, let me tell you that you are looking down on others! Anyway, you rebels are destined to end up with ruined reputations and dismembered heads. What does it matter if you die one day earlier or one day later? Let's leave it alone today. I'll let you guys go, and I'll slowly pick them up one by one when I get the chance in the future."
After hearing this, the old man Tianqi smiled and said: "Young man, don't talk too much, let's wait and see!" After saying that, he raised his head and said to Chen Xiaotian: "Old General Chen, your men said that today we will be fair and just. We are sending Jinling away, but I wonder if what he said is true?"
Chen Xiaotian frowned and couldn't help but secretly complain about the horse's hasty victory. How could he make such a promise so confidently? Now that Old Man Tianqi is asking me this question, how should I answer?
While he was hesitating, he suddenly felt someone whispering to him softly: "Xiao...Xiaotian, let...let him go. Yixin said she has a way to catch them all."
Chen Xiaotian listened carefully and found that although the voice was weak and faint, every word was transmitted clearly to his ears. No need to ask, this must be Yan Lai using the blue bird sound transmission technique to talk to me. She said Yixin had a solution? So Yixin is also nearby? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around, looking for traces of Chen Yixin.
"Don't...look around, lest you alert the enemy. Don't worry, Yixin is safe. She is right behind me."
When Chen Xiaotian heard this, it became clear in his heart that the reason why Ma Desheng boasted about Haikou and agreed to let the old man Tianqi out of the city must be Yixin's plan. She hid behind Yan Lai and whispered her thoughts to Yan Lai. Yan Lai then used the blue bird sound transmission technique to tell De Sheng. In this way, it was probably Yixin's idea to let Old Man Tianqi ride on this gorgeous horse. .
Everyone listened carefully, and sure enough, there was the sound of rustling grass, and Bao Zhuhua said: "Everyone hide first!" After saying that, he lightly jumped onto a big tree. Although the crown of the tree in early March was not dense, it was still Bao Zhuhua was petite and could barely hide herself behind a thick tree branch. Chen Mo hid Zhang Yi in the grass, and then crawled on the ground. Pan Suxuan and others also hid behind the trees. Not long after, Shi Tianyu arrived with four men in black. They were all shocked when they saw their companions on the ground. Shi Tianyu ordered the remaining people to be on guard, then he leaned down and checked the injuries of the men in black one by one. I saw that none of these people had any obvious external injuries, only some traces of poisonous bee stings on their hands and feet. The faces of the poisoned people were severely swollen and turned black and purple, and their facial features were distorted and unrecognizable.
Shi Tianyu was secretly afraid, thinking: "This bee venom is so powerful! If I hadn't evacuated to the temple in time, I might be the one who fell to the ground now." Seeing Shi Tianyu's gloomy face, a short man next to him stepped forward and asked : "Commander Shi, what's wrong?!"
Shi Tianyu waved his hand and said, "Nothing. Is there anything unusual around here?" The dwarf said, "Nothing at the moment, but the blood stains have disappeared now. They are probably nearby."
Shi Tianyu nodded and whispered: "Search carefully around here!" The dwarf took the order and spread out around with several other people, investigating bit by bit.
Bao Zhuhua could hear clearly from the tree and thought to herself: "They actually came so fast?! I thought that the camphor wood bee swarm could hold them back for a while, and I could escape unscathed, but now it seems it's not that easy."
I was thinking hard about countermeasures in my heart, but light flashed in front of my eyes. Looking around, I could vaguely see scattered bright lights approaching here.
"No, they are gathering more and more. If they don't get away, they may be surrounded!" Thinking of this, he flipped the lancet in his hand and pointed it at the back of Shi Tianyu's head, about to launch a surprise attack. Suddenly I heard the dwarf say: "Commander Shi, I know this person."
Shi Tianyu was searching the grass next to Chen Mo. When he heard the call, he turned and walked towards the dwarf.
When Chen Mo saw this, he let out a sigh of relief, put down the long sword in his hand, and took a peek. I saw Shi Tianyu coming to the dwarf. The dwarf pointed to a man in black on the ground and said, "This is Liang Jinshan, a strange thief from Shandong. This man is good at stealing. It is said that he got all the wealth in the family by traveling from house to house." .”
Shi Tianyu said: "This man has changed beyond recognition. How did you know he was Liang Jinshan?" The dwarf said: "I know his weapon. He made a ghost-headed sword, and I went with him to the south of the city to steal firecrackers. When I arrived, I found a scar on his right arm."
Shi Tianyu lowered his head and saw that there was indeed a ghost-headed sword beside the deceased, and there was a scar more than two inches long on his right arm. The dwarf continued: "Liang Jinshan's martial arts is not weak, and he is also highly appreciated by the Apocalypse Saint. We stole the firecrackers and came back. The Apocalypse Saint also promised that when things are done, we will all stand in the palace. Who wants to be a sword? You lost your life just like that.”
Shi Tianyu said disdainfully: "What's so strange about someone dying for money? What's more, as a big thief, he died for a precious sword, which is considered a well-deserved death."
The dwarf sighed and said, "Although you are right, no one wants to live in fear all day long.
