Chapter 430: Pursuit (1)
After Mandado and the others captured Chen Xin, they immediately transported the unconscious Chen Xin to the north gate of Nanjing City as quickly as possible.
Chen Xin was stuffed into a carriage.
"Quick, transport Chen Xin out of the city before Jinyiwei reacts!" Mandaduo arranged for a long time, so he had to fight for a time difference, and he had to transport Chen Xin out of the city before the city gate defenders received the news to block the city gate.
Mandarta jumped into the carriage and acted as a coachman himself, while the rest of the thieves were all broken into pieces and hurried towards the city gates.
When he was only a few hundred meters away from the city gate, Mandardo pulled the reins, lowered the carriage to normal speed, and slowly drove towards the city gate. After all, if the carriage was too fast, it was likely to attract the attention of the city gate defenders.
Seeing that the city gate was getting closer and closer, even if Mandardo was a wolf, he couldn't help but feel a slight nervousness in his heart.
Although he calculated the time correctly, he would definitely be able to let the carriage out of the city before the city gate defenders received the news, but he was also afraid that there would be an accident, and now, Chen Xin must bring it back to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he will not have the face to see the regent.
"Dada"
As Mandardo had expected, the guards did not obstruct the entry and exit of Mandarta's seemingly normal carriage because the people entering and exiting the city gate were normal.
Finally, Mandardo drove across the drawbridge in his carriage and set foot on the land outside the North Gate.
At the same time, a fast horse was speeding through the street and towards the city gate.
The person who came was the brocade guard who had come to inform the closure of the city gate.
"Hey, it's late! Chen Xin, I took it away! Mandardo sneered, and continued to drive the carriage at a normal pace farther away from the city gates.
At the city gate, the brocade guards reined in their horses and shouted at the city gate defenders, "Can you find any suspicious people waiting out of the city?" ”
"Back to my lord, I didn't find out!" The general of the city gate defenders replied.
Jin Yiwei nodded, the thief should not have left the city yet, and then conveyed the order: "Chen Xin, the director of the Firearms Bureau, was kidnapped by the thieves, and the emperor has decreed that the city gate will be temporarily closed, and no entry is allowed to go out!" ”
"The last will obey!" The general of the defenders of the city gate received the order, and then waved his hand and began to block the city gate with his soldiers.
The brocade guard who came to give the order sat on horseback, looked around, and suddenly found the carriage that Mandarta was driving outside the city, and after thinking about it, he suddenly pointed to the carriage driven by Mandarta outside the city and asked the guards at the city gate, "When did that carriage leave the city?" ”
"Just now!" The general of the city gate defenders glanced out of the city and replied.
Just now? The brocade guard frowned, although it was normal for carriages to enter and exit the city gate, but this carriage was just in time for this, this brocade guard was cautious in his job, he felt that he needed to check it in case something went wrong.
Thinking about it, the brocade-clothed guard rode out of the city and ran towards the carriage driven by Mandarto.
Mandardo, who was driving the carriage, heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and was stunned for a moment, and looked behind him. found that it was the brocade guard who chased after him, and his face suddenly darkened.
At this time, he was already hundreds of meters away from the city gate, and this brocade guard even chased after him, could it be that he knew that Chen Xin was in his carriage!
No, it can't be that coincidental!
Mandado decided that this brocade guard didn't actually know that Chen Xin was in his carriage, so he immediately remained silent and still drove the carriage at a normal speed.
"Stop!" The brocade guard rode in front of Mandalta's carriage.
"This adult, stop the villain, what do you command?" Mandardo said with a look of fear.
"Who's in your carriage!" The brocade guard asked coldly.
"Back to the adult, it's the villain's father, and the villain is about to rush back to the countryside with the old father!" Mandardo said.
"Pull the curtain back and I'll take a look!" Without seeing it with their own eyes, this brocade guard is not at ease, as an elite agent in the brocade guard, their motto is to be cautious and not let go of any suspicious things.
"Yes, sir." A hint of murder flashed in Mandardo's eyes, and he slowly opened the curtain.
I saw that on the carriage, there was an old man in his fifties who was lying down, because he was lying down, his face was not clear, so although the eyes of this brocade guard were slightly wide, he was not sure if it was Chen Xin.
"Who is in the carriage and why is it lying!" The brocade guard asked sharply.
"Back to the adult, it is the villain's father, if the adult has any doubts, come and check it!" Mandardo's eyes darkened a little.
This brocade guard's heart sank, and the intuition of the brocade guard for many years told her that things were never that simple.
Just as the brocade guard was about to get off the horse to check, suddenly, he noticed that something was wrong, because the clothes Chen Xin was wearing could never be worn by ordinary people, and he suddenly decided that the one lying on the carriage must be Chen Xin.
"That's not right! You're a thief! The brocade guard shouted, and pulled out the embroidered spring knife at his waist with a bang.
However, before the brocade-clothed guard swung his knife and slashed at Mandardo, he suddenly saw Mandardo wave his hand, and a cold light flew in!
It's a hidden weapon!
The brocade-clothed guard stood on end and tried his best to dodge, but although he dodged this hidden weapon, Mandardo's second hidden weapon hit him firmly on his left chest.
"Whew!" This brocade guard immediately fell from his horse, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead for a while.
"Hmph, it's a waste of so much time!" Mandardo snorted coldly and drove the carriage into the distance quickly!
In the direction of the city gate, the general of the city gate defenders has been paying attention to this place, and when he saw the Jinyi guard suddenly fall off his horse, and saw the carriage suddenly accelerate, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately rushed over with dozens of soldiers under his command.
When Mandardo walked away, the brocade guard who had fallen from his horse was bleeding from his mouth, and he slowly got up from the ground with a pale face covering his injured left chest.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?" The general of the city gate defender came to the brocade guard and said worriedly.
"On the carriage just now is Lord Chen, who was kidnapped by thieves, go and report to the emperor!" Because of the serious injury, the brocade guard said with some difficulty.
"Yes, my lord, I'll go!" When the general of the city gate defenders heard this, he was shocked, and instantly turned around and was about to run into the city.
"Slow! Ride my horse! ”
The general of the city gate defenders reacted, of course, it was impossible for him to run on two legs more than four legs, and immediately climbed on his war horse without hesitation and galloped towards the city.
