Chapter 327
Overnight, the Iron Cavalry changed hands.
Du Xiaowu used his ruthless methods to make Yelu Gongsun's man look like a human, a ghost look like a ghost, and he survived in the world and used money to win people's hearts. It seemed to be more stable than when Yelu Gongsun came to power half a year ago.
Xiaowen, Dazhuang and others were taken to the Iron Cavalry Gang Headquarters.
Li Hongxiao was a little depressed. Du Xiaowu knew that she was dissatisfied with her style of conduct. However, in a lawless place like Jiangnan Town, if she was not cruel enough, she would not be able to survive. Seeing her like this, she would not be too lazy to explain.
After settling down everyone, Fan Xiaodao disguised himself and found out about the news in Jiangnan Town.
The assassination last night came suddenly. If Xiao Wu hadn't warned in time, they would have probably become dead souls under the cannon. With the strength of the Iron Cavalry Gang, they would have no power to do so. Therefore, when he approached the red-clothed cannon last night, Fan Xiaodao left the died aroma on the cannon and the nose of Zhao Xing was not as useful as Zhao Xing's nose, but the hummingbird he carried with him could point him the road.
Following the hummingbird's direction, he followed a cave five miles north of Jiangnan Town.
About dozens of people camped and guarded the entrance of the cave. More than a dozen carriages gathered at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that they were about to transfer the ten red-clothed cannons.
At this moment, he saw the masked man in black entering the cave last night. Fan Xiaodao thought it was just right, so he sneaked over and knocked him out while a guard was not paying attention, changed into the other party's clothes, and swaggered into the cave.
The cave is extremely large, it is a cave with stone stalactites on the top of the cave, which divides the cave into several major areas.
This kind of karst terrain is common in Yunnan and Guizhou, but is rarely in Jiangnan.
In the cave, several subordinates were reporting the situation to the man in black, including the change of ownership by the Iron Cavalry and Yelu Gongsun being retaliated against. The masked man said, "I didn't expect that the mud would not be able to support the wall. That's fine, at least we don't have to silence Yelu Gongsun."
"I'm afraid that the identity of the young master will be revealed last night before Yelu Gongsun was fucked."
The masked man said, "He doesn't know me, so how can he reveal his words? This action was not successful. Fan Xiaodao is narrow-minded and will retaliate. He silenced all the people who know the information. Don't let anyone take the blame. Prepare and return to Beijing today."
Fan Xiaodao suddenly remembered someone.
It's Ding Yi!
No wonder his voice and figure sounded familiar. Ding Yi was a colleague at the Six Gate, but after the martial arts conference, Ding Yi defected to Princess Taiping.
Since that's the case, he also guessed that it was Duke Taiping who killed him.
It is not uncommon for Princess Taiping to kill Fan Xiaodao. It is one thing to think about it or not, and whether it can be killed is one thing, but I didn’t expect that the other party would have such a big battle this time.
Fan Xiaodao was really lucky to survive.
Since you didn't kill me, it's my turn to mess with you next.
Fan Xiaodao disappeared and mixed into the crowd carrying cannons.
Ten cannons have been loaded on top of ten carriages.
There were three carriages carrying the remaining cannon balls and gunpowder. The supervisor was directing everyone and shouting loudly, "Take it lightly, these gunpowders are all deadly things. You can make it clearer for me. If there is a real mistake, none of us will survive!"
While speaking, Ding Yi and four followers walked out of the cave on horseback, gave a few instructions, and galloped northward.
Fan Xiaodao brought a box of gunpowder and placed it on a car with cannons.
The supervisor said, "Who... where are you putting it?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Put it here, it's more convenient."
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Fan Xiaodao smiled, "Isn't you just here?" As he said, he took out the fire from his arms and wiped the open fire. Seeing this, the supervisor retreated repeatedly and shouted, "Let go, you're not alive?" Seeing this, the rest of the people put down their work and scattered everywhere.
Fan Xiaodao said: "Don't you like to amplify cannons very much? Why did they all run away?"
Everyone avoided from afar and dared not approach.
Fan Xiaodao kicked the gunpowder barrels one by one from the carriage. He put a bucket on each carriage, poked a bucket and scattered the gunpowder on the ground, connecting it with more than a dozen carriages. Everyone understood that this guy wanted to destroy the red cannon and gunpowder, but he was afraid that the other party would have a fire break in his hand, so he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to watch him finish it one by one.
The supervisor said: "Do you know that these are the property of the Ming Dynasty's official army?"
Fan Xiaodao shook his head, "I don't know who's property, I only know, these things almost killed me last night!"
"You are... Fan Xiaodao?"
"It's my master." Fan Xiaodao said to the supervisor, "If I were you, I would have been running around long ago."
Before the supervisor could give the order, everyone retreated with a bang, as if birds and beasts were scattered.
Fan Xiaodao led a horse, turned over and said, "Go back and tell your master that if you want to kill me, send some decent opponents, otherwise I will not be interested in playing with you!" After that, Huozhe threw it on the ground, lit the gunpowder sprinkled on the ground, and the gunpowder burned instantly and spread around.
Fan Xiaodao grabbed the horse's belly and rode out, chasing Ding Yi's escape.
After running for more than ten feet, I heard the earth shaking outside the cave.
Boom boom boom!
The explosions were endless, and gravel was flying all over the sky.
A ball of black smoke rose up.
far away.
Ding Yi and the Four Horsemen looked solemn when they saw the black smoke behind them.
Yiqi said: "Mr. Ding, something might happen. Do you want your subordinates to go back and have a look?"
Ding Yi looked into the distance and shook his head, "No need, he is here."
Horse hooves sounded.
Fan Xiaodao rode one by one, caught up with Ding Yi in front of him, came to the five people, jumped up in the air, and blocked the four horses.
"I have a sword and want to ask you all."
Yiqi said, "Do away, you're not alive!"
Fan Xiaodao looked at everyone, "Last night, someone wanted my life, but who wouldn't have done it, so I had to work harder and run from all over to ask for some interest from you."
Seeing this, the leader of the knight unsheathed his sword, rode his horse forward a few steps, and slashed at Fan Xiaodao with one knife.
Fan Xiaodao bowed his head, turned around, drew his sword, and returned to the sheath, and the whole movement was completed in one go.
The war horse rushed forward a few steps and stopped. Then he saw the knight falling to the ground. A thin mark appeared in his throat. The thin mark turned into a blood arrow and gushed out. In a moment, the man died on the spot. The other three cavalry had never seen such a brilliant sword technique. They were so scared that they stopped the war horse and no longer had the urge to take action.
Fan Xiaodao Jianshao pointed at Ding Yi, "I just want him to stay, no one is involved, and get out of here!"
Seeing this, Sanqi said, "We live and die together with Mr. Ding."
Having said that, I didn't have any confidence in speaking.
Ding Yidao: "You guys go!"
"Mr. Ding, our duty is to protect you from a safe arrival in Beijing..."
Ding Yidao: "This person is my friend. I will say a few words to him. You can go to Shili Temple in front to wait for me."
The three riders had to leave.
Fan Xiaodao said: "Mr. Ding, haha, it turns out to be quite grand."
Ding Yidao: "Long time no see, old friend." Fan Xiaodao said: "Yes, long time no see, I greeted you with a red cannon as soon as you meet. You are not authentic enough."
Ding Yidao: "I just acted on orders, and you also know that people are in the world and cannot help themselves."
"What a man who can't help himself. If I kill you, will I be unable to help himself?"
"Skills are not as good as people, so life should be like this!"
Fan Xiaodao's face darkened, "Why?"
Ding Yidao: "In the capital, there are people who don't want you to go back alive."
Why does this sound so familiar?
Yes, when Prince Zhu Yan returned to Beijing last year, some people didn’t want him to go back alive. Although the relationship between Jiangnan was good, he could not go back alive even if he came to Jiangnan. Then this trip to Jiangnan would be a little bad.
When Fan Xiaodao first entered the Six Gate, he had a fight with Ding Yi and fought with the military personnel. Ding Yi also made a lot of efforts. Although he had never had a lifelong relationship, he got along well. But he didn't expect that such a capable person would surrender to Princess Taiping.
Last night, Ding Yi did not kill Fan Xiaodao, but at this moment he was not afraid and looked at him calmly.
"Is Princess Taiping asking you to kill me?"
"You know, I won't tell you."
Fan Xiaodao asked: "What if I ask you with your life?"
Ding Yidao: "The same answer."
Fan Xiaodao smiled.
If someone wanted to kill him half a year ago, with his temper, he had already waved his sword to greet him, but after half a year in Jiangnan, he was no longer the reckless boy who was acting arrogantly. After all, he became more mature in the battle of wits and courage with Tan Shifei, Xie Zhihua and others.
"With your martial arts, how many swords do you think you can take me?"
Ding Yidao: "Half a year ago, I felt like I had a 55-5 match with you. But when I saw the sword just now, I knew I had no chance of winning. In the past six months, you have improved a lot of swordsmanship."
Fan Xiaodao said: "I don't kill you, it's not that I don't dare, but that your life is more valuable than death. I hope that one day your life will come in handy."
"I didn't promise, why do you believe it so much?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Although I don't get along much with you, I'm a colleague. I've heard about your experiences and past events. You came from a ghost building and entered the Six Gate with your martial arts skills. After so many years of hard work, you obviously have many opportunities for promotion, but you rejected them. So when I heard you go to Princess Taiping's Mansion to work, I found it incredible."
Ding Yidao: "I entered Liushenmen at the same time as Zhao Xing. I claimed to be capable and my martial arts are not weaker than him, but I was always suppressed by him. I thought that if I could endure this, maybe I would have a day to make a comeback, but Fan Xiaodao came to Liushenmen, and once he came, he would steal all the limelight. The tree was moved to death, the people moved to live, and the people walked to a higher place. It was nothing incredible."
"I have no objection to you going to the higher ground. But why did you go to Princess Taiping's Mansion? You know, our six doors are considered political enemies with them."
“Because of the generous treatment.”
"Why should Princess Taiping believe you?"
Ding Yi smiled, "I helped her solve the dilemma in Northern Zhou."
At the beginning, because of the assassination of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Ming and Zhou countries had a feud. Princess Taiping's large-scale smuggled goods were seized by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with nearly two million taels of goods. This incident once caused Princess Taiping's finances to be tight. In order to make money, they even bought and sold people and blatantly sold official positions and titles, committing a considerable crime, but in the end they were left alone.
If Ding Yi had this ability and helped them solve the affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he would indeed be qualified to be reused by Taiping.
"Just that's it?"
