Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The official of Tang Dynasty was killed, and just when Yang Rong almost gave up hope on the information Su'e could provide, news came from another line.

    The owner of the thimble has been found!

    After receiving this news, Yang Rong was shocked.  He remembered that Su'e once told him that as long as the owner of the thimble is found, the person behind all this will come to light.

    News from outside said that the owner of the thimble did not live in the city, but had a manor outside the city.

    After receiving the news and finding out the specific location, Yang Rong did not waste any time. He led the people from the Ye Ci Camp and transferred two hundred soldiers from Kaifeng Mansion. He went straight out of the city and rushed towards the manor where the owner of the thimble lived.  .

    After leaving Tokyo City, about ten miles away in a straight line, they reached the manor they were going to.

    This manor was built far away from the official road. Within two miles of leaving the city, Yang Rong had to lead his team away from the official road and through the fields, otherwise they would have to walk dozens of miles more.

    This wilderness is not completely open, but a hilly area covered with woods.

    To reach the manor quickly, they had to pass through a dense forest.

    Reaching the outskirts of the woods, Yang Rong raised his hand to stop the team's progress.

    Xiao Ting rode forward, and after Yang Rong nodded to him, he galloped towards the woods.

    As soon as he entered the woods, Xiao Ting felt an indescribable awkwardness all over his body, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, which made him, a killer, feel uncomfortable all over his body.

    It took about half an hour for Xiao Ting to walk back and forth in the woods. Although he felt uncomfortable all over, he found no sign of an ambush.

    After leaving the forest and arriving in front of Yang Rong, Xiao Ting clasped his fists at him and said, "General Yang, no ambush was found in the woods. Just entering the woods, I don't know why, I feel uncomfortable all over."

    After listening to Xiao Ting's report, Yang Rong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Chen Rui behind him: "What do you think?"

    Seeing Yang Rong asking him for advice, Chen Rui quickly stepped forward and said to Yang Rong: "Xiao Ting is a killer and has a special sense of danger. Since he said he felt uncomfortable all over, there must be danger in the woods.  "

    Yang Rong nodded and said to Chen Rui: "Order everyone to open a path with axes and walk from the side of the forest. Cut down all the trees along the way."

    "Yes!" Chen Rui responded and shouted to the team behind him: "Brothers, use your ax to clear the way and chop it out for me. Don't let the thieves secretly attack us!"

    The team following them responded loudly, and many soldiers from Kaifeng Mansion held axes and ran towards the side of the forest.

    The trees in this forest are not very strong. The soldiers can chop down a tree with two or three axes.

    The officers and soldiers walking at the front waved their axes and knocked down pieces of forest trees, while Yang Rong led the team behind and pushed forward slowly.

    In a cave in the woods, two men in black glanced at each other. One of them curled his lips and said to the person next to him: "Yang Rong is really cunning. The brothers set up a trap, and he also  Don¡¯t dig in.¡±

    "Did you hear that Yang Rong had ever fallen into someone else's trap?" Another person shrugged his eyebrows and said to his companion: "Although Mr. Zhong set up the trap himself this time, Mr. Zhong also said that Yang Rong may not fall into it.  It¡¯s a plan, but fortunately, sir, you still have a trick up your sleeve.¡±

    The man in black who spoke first nodded and said no more. He just lay down in the distance and looked at the fallen woods in the distance.

    They only saw the forest falling down in pieces, but they did not expect that if Yang Rong set a fire, all of them would be killed in the sea of ????fire.

    The officers and soldiers waved their axes and opened a passage. Yang Rong led the team out of the forest and then looked back.

    At the edge of the forest, a large piece of fallen trees formed a long and narrow passage.

    After taking one look at the forest, Yang Rong was startled and quickly shouted to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Brothers, hurry up before it's too late!"

    After shouting, he did not wait for the officers and soldiers to come to their senses, and galloped forward on his horse.

    Chen Rui and Xiao Ting saw him galloping out on horseback, and hurriedly followed him towards the manor.

    The soldiers of the Yeji Camp who were riding horses also increased their speed, which was only a pain to the Kaifeng Prefecture officers and soldiers who were running on their own legs.

    Naturally, it is impossible for a person to outrun a horse with two legs. Yang Rong and others galloped for a while, and they had already thrown the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion far behind.

    Seeing that the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture had been left far behind, Yang Rong reined in his horse and twisted his horse.He turned his head and looked forward, the expression on his face becoming more and more gloomy.

    "Did you remember something, sir?" Seeing that Yang Rong's expression was a bit off, Chen Rui stepped forward and asked him.

    "There is an ambush in the woods!" Yang Rong frowned slightly and said to Chen Rui: "But their ambush is not just to intercept them. They have made two preparations. If they can intercept us, it will naturally be the best."  Well, if they can¡¯t intercept and kill them, they can still hinder us, and they can easily evacuate the people in the manor!¡±

    "Where do you think they will go?" After hearing Yang Rong's analysis, Chen Rui felt that the matter seemed to be much more serious than previously thought, and quickly asked Yang Rong.

    "Straight-line distance, return to Luoyang, pass through this forest!" Yang Rong raised his whip, pointed at the forest that had been left behind by them, and said to Chen Rui: "If my guess is correct, they must be secretly at this moment.  Pay attention to us, as soon as we go to the manor, they will set off immediately."

    "What should we do?" Before Chen Rui asked, Xiao Ting asked Yang Rong: "How can we intercept them if we don't know their whereabouts at all?"

    "The reason why they came up with this strategy is that we are in motion and they are waiting quietly." Yang Rong curled his lips, showing a sneer, and said to Xiao Ting: "If I hadn't seen through their strategy, I would have  That¡¯s all, now that you¡¯ve seen through it, it¡¯s time to change your position between active and passive!¡±

    Having said this, Yang Rong turned around and shouted to the officers and soldiers of Ye Ci Camp behind him: "Tell the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture behind you to stop advancing and camp where you are!"

    Hearing that they were going to camp on the same spot, Chen Rui looked at Yang Rong with some confusion and asked him: "Sir, the deadline set by the Holy Emperor is not far away. Can we still afford it?"

    "We can't afford it, and they can't afford it either!" Yang Rong smiled slightly and said to Chen Rui: "Xiao Ting took thirty people to the manor. If they couldn't find the person we were looking for, they burned the manor.  Fall out, block their escape route to me, I still don¡¯t believe they won¡¯t jump out in a hurry!¡± (To be continued.
