Chapter 653 Absconding
Even though Tang Tianxing was speechless, his thoughts were very clear.
He also thought clearly about the task assigned to him by Chen Ze, which was to let the news of the lost token reach Cheng Hong's ears.
Then doing this is enough.
Killing Hua Chenglu would be superfluous, which is not good.
So, taking advantage of the chaos in the Yufeng City Lord's Mansion, Tang Tianxing did the opposite and sneaked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and then quickly rushed to the city gate.
It was still late at night, but the area at the city gate was not like the city lord's palace, which would be slack at night.
On the contrary, the deeper the night goes, the tighter the defense here becomes.
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 Jade Wind City certainly understand this bottom line. Therefore, the deeper the night, the less they dare to slack off. Once someone sneaks out of the city under the cover of darkness, what will happen then will be their problem.
But if it's serious, Cheng Hong will never tolerate it.
Therefore, the deeper the night goes, the more heavily guarded the entrance of Yufeng City becomes. The entire city, including the area near the city entrance, is brightly lit, like daylight.
Tang Tianxing had already known from passers-by what the scene would be like at the city gate at night. After all, at such a tense time, there were many civilians and aristocratic families who wanted to escape from Yufeng City, but until
So far, no one has been able to succeed.
He was not in a hurry, and quickly sneaked to the city gate under the cover of night. Then he found a corner and hid, keeping his attention on the city gate.
Not long after, in Yufeng City, which was originally quiet at night, a huge noise suddenly erupted from the city lord's palace.
Tang Tianxing knew that this happened because of himself.
Hua Chenglu thought he had recovered from his fright, but since he had lost two tokens, he knew that this matter was of great importance, and he would definitely not be able to hide it if he wanted to.
At the moment, the only thing he can do is to dig through the entire Jade Wind City. No matter what methods he uses, he still wants to dig out Tang Tianxing!
This is the only compensation he can make. Whether he can succeed or not is related to his life and fortune.
But the more it happens at this time, the more chaotic it becomes.
And chaos is the best opportunity for top assassins like Tang Tianxing.
So he hid near the city gate and did not act rashly.
Not long after, his ears twitched and he heard a group of cavalry approaching from the direction of the city lord's palace. He immediately jumped decisively and flew onto the roof.
The place where he was guarding could not only see the city gate, but also the only way to get to the city lord's palace.
What Tang Tianxing was waiting for was this cavalry.
In other words, it was a small team sent by the city lord's palace to urgently report military information to the city gate.
Tang Tianxing looked carefully and saw that this group of cavalry was coming in a hurry, and their destination was very clear, which was in the direction of the city gate.
He saw the right moment, and when the cavalry team passed under the roof where he was hiding, he jumped slightly, and the people floated like a catkin, without causing a sound of wind, but the final landing point was very accurate, exactly
The man at the end of the cavalry squad.
With Tang Tianxing's light skill, not only the entire cavalry squad, but also the person who was targeted was not aware of it at all.
Then he saw a big foot flying towards him in the dark night. He didn't even have time to react before he was kicked upside down by Tang Tianxing's flying kick.
He was extremely powerful, and coupled with Tang Tianxing's strength, the two collided, and he fainted while he was still in the air. Finally, he fell to the ground with a plop, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Unfortunately, the sound of horse hooves caused by the rapid running of the cavalry team was too loud and fast. By the time the man landed, the entire team had already run a certain distance, and no one noticed the falling sound behind them.
Instead, it was Tang Tianxing. After flying up in the air and kicking the man away, he twisted around and pulled the reins. He landed firmly on the horse and controlled the horse for the fainted soldier.
Follow the cavalry team towards the city gate.
He is also a very brave man. If he accidentally makes a mistake and arouses the other party's alert, it is conceivable that a large number of soldiers will surround him in an instant. Whether he can escape is really unknown.
But apparently he has been successful so far.
Following the cavalry team, Tang Tianxing lowered his head as much as possible and followed behind. Following the movement of the horse's head being pulled in front, he also ordered the horse to stop galloping.
"Brother Ji, why are you here?"
The garrison at the top of the city had already noticed this cavalry. The general who was responsible for guarding the city gate called his brothers and took the first step to defend the city gate. Then he led his men to meet them and got a little closer.
I saw him, but he was an acquaintance, so he hurriedly asked:
"Just now I heard some movement in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. May I ask what happened?"
On the side of the cavalry team, the leader was a captain, who was also called Big Brother Ji by the city gate guard. He pulled the horse's head, and before he could take a breath, he spoke very quickly: "Brother Li, the city lord's mansion
There is an assassin, and I am afraid that he has already run into the city. General Hua sent me to deliver the order. We must guard the city gate strictly tonight and don't let the assassin escape!"
"assassin?"
Upon hearing this, General Li's face became serious. He looked back and knew that the situation was urgent. He quickly suppressed his gossip and said urgently: "Brother Ji, please don't worry. There is nothing unusual here. I think the assassin knows about us."
The defense was tight at night, so I guess I should be hiding somewhere in the city at this moment, waiting until daybreak to get out of the city!"
Lieutenant Ji nodded and said: "General Hua also thought of this, so he asked me to tell you that you guys must have more snacks these days. No matter day or night, you can't relax at all, otherwise..."
He paused and said in a more serious tone: "If the assassin is allowed to escape, none of us can bear this responsibility!"
As soon as these words were spoken, before General Li could respond, everyone suddenly felt a strong wind blowing above their heads.
They looked up in shock, only to see a faint black shadow passing above their heads, and its destination was the heavily guarded city gate.
"Stop him!"
General Li was shocked. He had just boasted about Haikou. Why was this assassin so ignorant that he rushed to slap him in the face?
If he was just allowed to run away, you can imagine his fate!
At that moment, he didn't dare to neglect, and while shouting at the city gate, he also turned his horse's head, trying his best to keep Tang Tianxing!
Not only him, but also Captain Ji who came over, he didn't expect that the other party would be so bold and wanted to rush out of the city right under their noses.
