ps: This chapter of Tanuki was written with gnashing of teeth, really gnashing of teeth!
Damn it, half of my cheek is swollen. Toothache is not a disease, the pain can kill people
It was said that they left the team and disappeared, but the subsequent journey of Tang En and others would naturally not be to kill them immediately towards the temple Well, if they really did that, the possibility of being counterattacked seemed to be greater.
In fact, Tang En and others didn't go anywhere. After leaving the team, they found a farm nearby and hid in a field with flourishing crops Well, the geographical environment of the south is not suitable for people like assassins and bandits. , it¡¯s really weird. There are basically no abrupt mountains to be seen, and as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but wilderness and plains, without any obstruction or obstruction.
This squat lasts for half a day!
Then, the expected news finally came
As expected, the second prince¡¯s reaction was swift and powerful. It must have been because they had established good contact on the ship. As soon as he set foot on the southern land, overt and covert forces from all over the country, as well as various armies and private soldiers, gathered like a tide to assist King Qin.
Naturally, such a grand movement could not escape the attention of the eldest prince's forces, and they should have been prepared for it. However, in just half a day, dust was flying in all directions around the field where Tang En and the others were hiding, and there were as many soldiers as ants, and various places, including the temple, were surrounded by dust. All kinds of flags were waving fiercely, dazzling Tang En and others who were very close at hand, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Fortunately, these soldiers were in a hurry and had no time to send scouts to explore the surroundings. Otherwise, Tang En and the others would have to be exposed immediately
Waiting until the evening, the surrounding movement was slightly calm. Tang En and others, who had been lying in the ground for a long time, finally poked their heads out. To be cautious. Tang En did not lead everyone to set off immediately. Instead, let Ha Lai take two Gray Space members first. Sneak out of the crop field and inquire about the news first
The results of the inquiry were both expected and unexpected.
The so-called expected is because the procession that seemed to be rushing for a funeral half a day ago was indeed the power of the temple and the eldest prince, and it was for the second prince and them who came to rescue them.
As for the unexpected, it was Tang En who underestimated the second prince's methods and the huge commotion that was caused over there - during most of the day. The Second Prince's side has actually occupied three large cities, and this trend is still expanding. It has already begun to establish a foothold in the south, and has the qualifications and confidence to challenge the First Prince's side.
With such speed and decisive attitude, even Tang En couldn't help but secretly praise him when he heard this. Then he came back to his senses and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"It's a simple truth. The bigger the noise caused by the second prince, the more arrogant it becomes. Tang En will have more opportunities to fish in troubled waters. At the worst, it will save them from being hunted down and surrounded by the temple.
Opportunities are rare and fleeting. Of course, Tang En would not hesitate to miss it. Shortly after receiving the news, he immediately led everyone to rush out of the crop field. Under the cover of the dark night, they rushed towards the hinterland of the south.
There are no ordinary people in this team, or to be honest, except for Owens, they are all assassins who can't hit a single hit and immediately run away thousands of miles away. So there is no doubt about the speed. If someone walking at night bumps into them, they will just think it is a sudden strong wind and pass by in front of them in an instant
The first stop is a secret branch in a southern city.
As a professional habit, Tang En will never underestimate any target opponent, let alone this time it is the Temple of Light with thousands of years of heritage. Therefore, despite the guidance of Owens, who was familiar with the inside story of the temple, and the brief topographic map sent by the second prince, Tang En decided to collect as much information about the temple as possible before taking action.
but,
"I never thought that when Tang En arrived at the branch to start the operation, someone would come to the door first, or an old friend who had been waiting here for a long time
"Damn it! Why are you here, bitch?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm waiting for you. This is the secret branch closest to South Bank. I knew right away that your kid would definitely come here. Haha, aren't labor and management very clever?"
"It's hard to say whether you are witty or not, but your dog's nose is indeed quite sensitive."
"roll¡ª¡ª"
Late at night, in a small southern town near the Lenau River, in an inconspicuous house, two figures were disparaging and embracing each other.
Familiar rhythm, familiar tone. Looking at the all-too-familiar old friend in front of him - Jack the Thief. Even Tang En, who was in a very bad mood along the way, couldn't help but smile happily, and his mood improved a lot.
Immediately, after Jack, Harry, Luke and other acquaintances joked with each other and said hello. Tang En asked: "By the way,What are you waiting for me here for? "
"Hey, don't mention it." This was a normal question, but when Jack heard this, his face was full of depression and he was full of bitterness, "Brother, I am having a bad time! The north was in chaos before, and I was out here every three days. The problem was that I was either caught or surrounded. Later I thought about whether it would be better to go south. Finally, I finally returned to the south. Before I could take a breath, Bran was defeated like this. I heard that you Gray Army still has Then the Northern Wilderness tribe is going to invade the south again. I am so unlucky, why are you coming back"
"The key point, the key point!"
"We're almost here, wait until labor and management finish talking We absolutely can't stay in the south now. The rivers are blocked and there are soldiers everywhere. Sooner or later there will be big problems. I think the north is not the territory of your gray army now, so I was thinking that I might as well join you" At this point, Jack paused suddenly and slapped his palm, "I never expected that! Before I could find a way out, that bastard Phillip sent someone to arrest me. ,Nima¡ª¡ª¡±
"Philip? There's still something about him herewait a minute!" Tang En was startled after hearing this, and instantly realized something. He looked thoughtfully at Jack, who was sighing and looking shabby, "So, it's Philip who invites you." Did you come to me for help?"
Not long ago, when Philip went to the north to negotiate with Tang En, although the result was not successful, Tang En still gave Philip the contact address of a secret agency. If you think about it this way, the facts will undoubtedly become clear.
"It's not a help, it's a threat! Do you understand the threat?" Jack was furious, his anger and curses were trembling, "I have been preparing for several months, planning to visit sites day and night, risking my life, and finally got through I got a box of gems from a noble manor! A box of gems - I was planning to go to the north to pay for my trip, but he snatched it away before I could even warm myself up! Damn it -" he drawled and beat his chest. It really makes those who hear it cry and those who see it sad!
Tang En couldn't help but touch his forehead when he heard this. Well, Philip can really do this kind of thing After calming down, he couldn't persuade him, so he could only ask, "Then what is his purpose? Well, why doesn't he himself?" Come to me?"
"That bastard said that he was under round-the-clock surveillance and could not leave the capital. Haha, right! This is the retribution for robbing me of my gem"
"The point! The point!"
"Oh, he wants you to go to the capital as soon as possible and meet with him By the way, this is what his grandfather Sword God meant. He seems to want to talk to you about the Temple Association."
When Tang En heard the first half of the sentence, he subconsciously shook his head and refused. Are you kidding me? He is pressed for time now. How can he have the free time to see Phillip? But after hearing the next sentence, Tang En couldn't help but be startled.
What Sword God Wooding meansabout the temple association
If it was just the former, Tang En would be cruel enough to refuse. But the latter is related to his subsequent rescue plan Well, with Wooding's identity, I guess he won't fire off cannons
After pondering for a moment, Tang En suddenly felt something in his heart and asked tentatively: "Did Philip tell us how to get to the capital?"
"I said, as long as we find any long-distance teleportation array that can go directly to the capital, it will be fine. He has arranged people at the capital space tower to be ready to respond, and your identity and whereabouts will not be exposed."
As expected, this was obviously planned step by step by Phillip, including calling Jack to send a message. And just for this sheer sincerity, it's worth seeing Tang En no longer hesitated when he heard this, and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the capital first."
There is really no reason to refuse, because the distance between the temple and the capital will always be much closer than the distance here. Besides, Phillip has already secured the Capital Space Tower, which will not expose their identities and save a lot of time that was previously wasted on the road - why not?
The plan had changed, and Tang En did not hesitate. Before he had a full cup of tea in the secret branch, he immediately took advantage of the cover of night to set off again. But before leaving,
"By the way, Jack, what are your plans next? Well, my suggestion is that you stay here, and after we come back from our work, we can go back to the north with you"
"What are you talking about?" Jack shook his head without thinking, and shook his fist angrily, "Stop joking, I want to go to the capital with you, find that bastard, and then take back my box of gems with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help but pause. Looking at Jack, who seemed to be filled with indignation, the corners of his mouth gradually raised Of course, these words were not the truth, at least not entirely. Philip asked Jack to pass the message on his behalf, so he naturally had to explain the inside story. In other words, Jack is well aware of the dangers of this trip. And compared to a small life, what does a box of gems mean
??After patting Jack's arm, Tang En said nothing. He just nodded and said, "Then let's go together let's go!"
