The Era of Generals

Chapter 654 - Absconding

Don't look at Tang Tianxing's inability to speak, but his mind is very clear.

He also thought very clearly about the task Chen Ze entrusted to him. He wanted to let Cheng Hong hear about the loss of the token.

So doing that is enough.

Killing Hua Chenglu, on the contrary, is suspected of superfluous, which is not good.

Therefore, taking advantage of the turmoil in Yufeng City Lord's Mansion, Tang Tianxing did the opposite, sneaked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then rushed to the vicinity of the city gate.

It was still late at night, but the area at the gate of the city was not like the city lord's mansion, and it would be slack at night.

On the contrary, the deeper the night, the stricter the defense here.

Cheng Hong's attitude is very clear, even half a person cannot escape from Yufeng City, this is the bottom line and an insurmountable gap.

The soldiers in Yufeng City, of course, understand this bottom line. The deeper the night, the less they dare to slack off. Once someone sneaks out of the city under the cover of night, what will happen at that time? Their problem But it is serious, and Cheng Hong will never tolerate it.

Therefore, the darker the night, the more heavily guarded the gate of Yufeng City was, and the entire city, including the vicinity of the gate, was illuminated brightly, like daytime.

Tang Tianxing already knew from the mouths of passers-by what the scene at the gate of the city would be like at night. After all, at such a tense time, there were many civilians and families who wanted to escape from Yufeng City. So far, no one has succeeded.

He was not in a hurry, and when he quickly sneaked near the gate of the city under the cover of night, he found a corner to hide and kept his attention on the gate of the city.

Not long after, Yufeng City, which was supposed to be in the dead of night, suddenly erupted with a huge commotion from the City Lord's Mansion.

Tang Tianxing knew that this was due to his own reasons.

Hua Chenglu thought that he had recovered from his panic, but he, who had lost two tokens, knew that the matter was of great importance, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Right now, the only thing he can do is to search through the entire Yufeng City, no matter what methods he uses, he still wants Tang Tianxing to dig it out!

This is the only compensation he can make, and whether it can be made is related to his wealth and life.

But the more at this time, the more chaotic.

And chaos is the best opportunity for a top assassin like Tang Tianxing.

So he hid near the city gate and did not act rashly.

Not long after, his ears moved, and he heard a group of cavalry coming from the direction of the city lord's mansion, and immediately leaped decisively, and the whole person flew onto the roof.

The place he was guarding could not only see the gate of the city, but also the only way to come from the direction of the city lord's mansion.

And what Tang Tianxing was waiting for was this cavalry.

In other words, it was a team sent by the City Lord's Mansion to urgently report the military situation to the city gate.

Tang Tianxing watched carefully, this group of cavalry came in a hurry, and the destination was very clear, it was in the direction of the city gate.

He saw the timing, when the cavalry team passed under the roof where he was hiding, he jumped lightly, and the people floated like catkins, without causing the slightest wind, but the final landing point was very accurate, exactly The last man in the cavalry squad.

With Tang Tianxing's light work, not to mention the whole cavalry squad, even the one who became the target didn't notice it at all.

Then he saw a big foot flying towards him in the dark night, and he didn't even have time to react, and he was kicked upside down by Tang Tianxing's flying kick.

He himself had great momentum, coupled with Tang Tianxing's strength, when the two collided, he passed out when he was still in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground with a plop, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

It's a pity that the horse's hooves aroused when the cavalry team ran fast were too loud and fast. By the time the man landed, the whole team had already run a certain distance, and no one noticed the falling sound coming from behind.

Instead, it was Tang Tianxing who, after flying in the air and kicking the man away, turned around and grabbed the reins, and landed firmly on the horse's back. Follow the cavalry team to the direction of the city gate.

He is also a bold man of high art. If he accidentally made a mistake that aroused the vigilance of the other party, it is conceivable that a large number of soldiers will surround him in an instant, and it is unknown whether he can escape.

But apparently he's been successful so far.

Following behind the cavalry squad, Tang Tianxing lowered his head as much as possible, and just followed behind. Following the movement of pulling the horse's head in front, he also ordered the horse to stop galloping.

"Brother Ji, why are you here?"

The defenders at the top of the city noticed this cavalry early on, and the guard who was in charge of guarding the city gate greeted his brothers, and took the first step to defend the city gate, and then led his men to meet them, and got a little closer. See, but is an acquaintance, hurriedly asked:

"Just now I heard that there was movement in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Dare I ask what happened?"

On the side of the cavalry team, the leader was a school lieutenant, who was also the brother Ji that the city gate guard said. He held the horse's head, and before he could catch his breath, he spoke very fast: "Brother Li, the city lord's mansion There are assassins, and I am afraid that they have already run into the city, General Hua sent me to pass an order that the city gates must be strictly guarded tonight, and the assassins must not escape!"

"assassin?"

When Li Shoujun heard this, his expression became serious, and he looked back, knowing that the situation was urgent, so he quickly suppressed his gossip, and said urgently: "Brother Ji, please don't worry, there is nothing unusual about me here. I think the assassin who came here knows that we are here." The defenses are tight at night, so I guess they should be hiding in some corner of the city at this moment, waiting for the dawn to leave the city!"

Colonel Ji nodded and said: "General Hua also thought of this, so he asked me to tell you that the brothers should have more snacks these days, no matter day or night, there must be no slack, otherwise..."

He paused for a moment, and said in a more emphatic tone: "If the assassin escapes, none of us can afford it!"

As soon as this remark was made, before Li Shoujiang could respond, all of a sudden, everyone felt a gust of wind blowing above their heads.

Shocked, they looked up, only to see a faint black shadow passing over their heads, and its destination was the heavily guarded city gate.

"Stop him!"

General Li Shou was shocked, he had just boasted about Haikou, why was this assassin so ignorant, he rushed to hit him in the face?

If he just let someone run away like this, one can imagine what will happen to him!

Not daring to be negligent at the moment, while yelling at the gate of the city, he also turned his horse's head around, trying his best to keep Tang Tianxing!

Not only him, but also Captain Ji who rushed over, he didn't expect the other party to be so bold, trying to rush out of the city right under their noses.

It was also a loud roar, rushing angrily towards Tang Tianxing's extremely faint shadow under the night.
