Chapter 391: Cromwell (Fourth Watch)

When the fighting in the apse became a little quieter, Tang Jinyi flew in and rushed in, and soon came out with two people who were still in good condition. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He raised his hand and fed them the antidote and asked, "What is your task?"

"Phew! If you want to kill, you want to make Lao Tzu a traitor?

"Really, look at your companions!"

Tang Jinyi turned the two people over, only to see that the dozen or so people in the apse who had been poisoned and cut each other with missing arms and legs were now scratching at their bodies and faces, the more they scratched, the more excited they became, and the flesh and blood they grabbed were blurred and the bones were cut out, and some people even dug out their internal organs and still looked itchy and unstoppable.

Tang Jinyi said with a cold face: "See clearly? This is a mixed poison, now they are confused and can't feel pain, and soon all the pain will be magnified several times, and they want to commit suicide." ”

Not long after speaking, the people inside howled like ghosts, and the people who usually held the knife on their necks without frowning, but now they had painful snot and tears, and even the smell of feces and urine came out, and they wanted to commit suicide in pain, but they didn't even have the slightest strength in their bodies.

People like Fang Greedy Wolf, who watched this kind of scene without blinking, frowned greatly, looking like they had palpitations.

The two of them shouted in horror: "You, you kill us!"

Tang Jinyi said leisurely: "The antidote you ate just now is only enough to suppress the toxicity for a quarter of an hour, and you will be even more miserable at that time!

"Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, our task is to hold you back, cover the retreat of the sect leader and the Holy Mother, now that they have left Zou City, it doesn't matter if we are dead or alive!"

Chang Wei sighed and said, "Damn, that's really the case!" As soon as the archer said the word mission, he guessed the purpose of these people fighting to the death here, and now it confirmed his conjecture.

Although the White Lotus Sect still has two strongholds, Tengxian County and Nanyang Town in Nanyang Lake, as soon as Zou Cheng was broken, most of the believers fled, and the backbone and generals were killed and wounded, and the spiritual belief of the White Lotus Sect had collapsed.

The morale of the official army is now like a rainbow, and with more than 100,000 people who can break those two strongholds in just one battle, it can be said that the White Lotus Sect is over. However, what Chang Wei is worried about is the huge threat that Xu Hongru, a top master, will bring to himself in the future, if a top master can't be killed on the spot, if he assassinates and assassinates him in the future, will he still have it?

You must know that Chang Wei first saved Wei Liangdong, then destroyed the Holy Mother Sect, and now he is undercover for the White Lotus Sect and directly destroyed the foundation of the White Lotus Sect, and the White Lotus Sect hates him to the core, and now Xu Hongru's life's hard work is all ruined, and it is not surprising that he has done anything crazy, and the consequences of letting him run away are absolutely unimaginable!

As soon as he thought of this, Chang Wei's eyes flashed with a hideous light, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, it was a ruthless move to split the muscles and bones, and the arms of the two suddenly turned into twisted and painful convulsions and screams, Chang Wei's hands were fiddling for a while to pick up the bones for them.

The voice was cold like a demon in hell: "Take me to Xu Hongru, otherwise you will regret coming to this world!"

The two glanced at each other, and the colors of despair, despair, determination, and loss on their faces alternated, and finally said weakly: "Okay, let's take you!"

Chang Wei was happy in his heart to untie their acupoints, the two of them took them through the apse, just walked a few steps, the two of them were shocked, Chang Wei secretly said that it was not good to hurriedly look at the two of them bleeding from the seven orifices, and they were already dead of anger.

Tang Jinyi touched their veins and shook his head and said, "Against the luck, the internal strength, qi and blood attack the heart are hopeless." ”

Chang Wei let out a long sigh and said with a forced smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the White Lotus Sect is over, and the two lost dogs, Xu Hongru and Hou Qiongyin, can't make any waves!"

Although he said it easily, anyone could hear the deep disappointment in his words. When I returned to the main hall, I saw that Huang Chongwen had already rushed over with the volunteer battalion, and Yin An, Cheng Laohu and others were carrying the things in the hall. Thinking that most of the belongings looted by the White Lotus Sect were hidden in this temple of the Holy Mother, the fact that he could make a windfall made Chang Wei's mood improve a lot.

was looking at the belongings in the main hall, Jin Hong'er suddenly ran over with a letter and handed it to Yan Ruyu, she opened it and immediately handed it to Chang Wei.

After a little look, Chang Wei was surprised and delighted, and shouted: "Cheng Shiyu quickly returned to Taiping Town and asked Cousin Chongwu to lead the fleet into Nanyang Lake and wait for me at the mouth of the Baima River; Yin An and Cheng Laohu immediately sent some men to follow me; Cousin Chongwen, you bring the musket team to follow, and leave it to Wuding here! Everyone travel lightly and follow me to chase Xu Hongru! Quick!"

It turned out that this letter was written by Wei Qi to Chang Wei, originally Wei Qi discussed with Chang Wei to go out of the city from the east gate, but he was afraid that the officials and soldiers would change their hexagrams, so he asked his subordinates to change their clothes and rush out from the north gate, and it happened that they happened to see Xu Hongru and Hou Qiongyin and others in disguise in the crowd.

Wei Qi said that the destination of Xu Hongru's escape was Nanyang Town, which is logical, because Teng County will definitely not be able to keep it next, and Nanyang Town has Xu Hongru's younger brother Xu Heyu in charge, and deep in Nanyang Lake, if the official army wants to attack, it will take a little effort, and Xu Hongru can lead the people and horses to fly away, and he will have the capital to make a comeback.

On the other hand, Wei Qi's concern for Xu Hongru was much less than that of Chang Wei. The reason why Zou Cheng fell so quickly was because of the consequences of his secret contact with Chang Wei, and when Xu Hongru came to his senses, he would definitely not be able to let him go, so he wished that Chang Wei would completely eradicate Xu Hongru and the White Lotus Sect.

Nanyang Town is seventy or eighty miles away from Zoucheng, and you can reach Nanyang Lake from the Baima River in the southeast, and then you can board Nanyang Town by boat.

After determining the pursuit route, Chang Wei directly asked his subordinates to ride the collected horses and gallop to the west gate, preparing to take a shortcut to intercept Xu Hongru.

At this time, the sky was bright, but the sound of guns and shouts in the city did not stop, the fighting in the south and north cities was particularly fierce, and the officers and soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets besieging the followers of the White Lotus Sect.

Seeing their arrogant and rampaged momentum, no one dared to block the road, but when they ran to the West City Gate, they were blocked by a team of artillery trucks, and in a hurry, Chang Wei shouted: "Jinyi Wei is here, get out of the way for me!"

As soon as the ordinary soldiers transporting the artillery carriage heard the three words of Jinyiwei, they immediately flashed to the side, but the one or twenty high-nosed and deep-eyed Europeans in the city gate stood motionless, and one of them, a blond-haired and blue-eyed tall young man, scolded hatefully: "****!"

"Huh?" Chang Wei glanced at the handsome young man in surprise, grabbed Ma Yang and raised his hand, "English people?"

A flash of surprise appeared in the young man's green eyes, but his mouth changed to stiff Chinese: "God, do you know English? Yes, I am English." My name is Oliver Cromwell, and my honorable lord has not asked for your name?"

"Oliver Cromwell?" Chang Wei nodded, "Are you the artillery commander under Lord Sun Yuanhua?" ”

Cromwell exclaimed, took off his hat and bowed, and said, "So you are the hero of the eradication of the cult! )
