Chapter 1121: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Part 11)

In the Song County government office, Tang He was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in the room. Hengdao, who was sitting on the side, followed him around with his head. After a long while, Hengdao finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"Tang He, please don't turn around, your head is spinning!" Hengdao knocked on the table and said.

Tang He didn't seem to hear Hengdao's complaint. He was still tapping his head quickly in the room, and turned around several times. He suddenly stopped and looked at Hengdao, "Hengdao, are there any loopholes in the defense line you have laid?" Your opponents are all cunning foxes, don’t let them find any loopholes to get through.”

Hengdao glanced at him sideways, "Tang He, I think you're getting nervous. Song County is a big place, and there are only a few important points. I've scattered all the troops in my army, and I just need everyone." We are standing at the border hand in hand. If the Tankang you mentioned is really hiding in Song County and waiting for an opportunity to leave the country, then I can tell you right now that it is impossible."

Hearing Hengdao's categorical assurance, Tang He seemed relieved. He walked to Hengdao and sat down. He reached for a pot of tea on the table and drank it.

"It's cold, let me change a pot for you!" Hengdao shook his head.

"No need, cool it down." Tang He exhaled a long breath.

"In the past few days, Magistrate Du of Song County has been driven crazy by you. All the people in the county have been mobilized by him to search for these guys for you. I saw him yesterday. He was unshaven and his clothes were almost indistinguishable. After returning home, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out again. During this time, he has accumulated a lot of official work." Hengdao said with a smile.

"As long as we intercept Tan Kang and get Mao Wei back, everything will be worth it." Tang He said with certainty.

"Have you ever considered what if that Mao Tao is not here in Tankang?" Hengdao proposed a hypothesis, "What if this is really the case?"

"Impossible. Niuben's side has confirmed that they are a team that confuses us, so Tankang's side must be true. During this pursuit, we have also approached them several times. Among their teams It was true that he was carrying a person who was bad at walking. According to the subsequent investigation, this person appeared on this road and was in the same state. And according to the descriptions of people who met Tankang and his party, this person's appearance was It must be Maowei." Tang He said.

"You are in this business and are more proficient than me!" Hengdao said with a smile: "Since you are so sure, I feel relieved. Tang He, you haven't had a good sleep for several days, please take a rest." , have a good sleep, I told you, as long as they are still in Song County, they will not be able to escape. You can just wait for the news here peacefully."

"I want to sleep, but I can't!" Tang He smiled bitterly: "If I don't catch Shankang and get Mao Wei back, how can I sleep? Hengdao, you also saw the explosion in Kangping City. If this thing falls into the hands of the Qin people, how much sacrifice will our army have to make in future wars?"

Speaking of this topic, Hengdao also became serious: "Although weapons are not the first priority in war, weapons that are ahead of others will naturally allow the army to take advantage of the war. Like Kangping City, if Unless the explosives show their power, we may not get good results even if we pay a heavy price. But Tang He, I have never figured it out. Isn't the identity of this Mao Wei a secret? Why did the other party find him so easily? What’s the details? The attack was so accurate!”

"We were confused at first, but as the Supervisory Yuan dug up a mole in the Ministry of Household Affairs, everything became clear. This person was a chief executive of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was left over from the former Yan Dynasty. This person passed a series of After the review, he took up a salary management position in the Ministry of Household Affairs. All researchers at Yizhen Research Institute were paid directly by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the roster was with him. He provided this roster to the other party, which made the other party It was easy to judge Mao Wei's value from the salary level. It was not just Mao Tao, but no one else could take advantage of it. Only Mao Wei had a father who lived in Li County, and his health had never been good. Okay." Tang He smiled bitterly: "We have carefully built a line of defense for Yizhen Research Institute. Who would have expected that we would stumble over this inconspicuous problem."

Hengdao sighed: "It's awesome. The opponent is really awesome. If I were asked to do such a thing, the only way I can think of is to attack hard with a knife."

"It's true that no one has done a hard attack, but they are all dead!" Tang He said.

Hengdao sighed: "Your profession may look inconspicuous, but your scheming efforts are more nerve-wracking than ours. If you are not careful, you may stumble and you still don't know what went wrong."

Tang He smiled bitterly and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.

With a bang, the door outside was violently pushed open, and an inspection guard rushed in excitedly, "Master Tang, I found it, I found it!"

"Where?" The two people in the room jumped up at once.

"They were hiding in a remote village in Xunxiang Township, Ning County. Magistrate Du mobilized the people in the county to look for this group of strangers. They could no longer hide, so they took the risk and fled, but they bumped into our checkpoint again. They violently He launched an attack, attacked the checkpoint, and then fled into Songshan Mountain."

"Into the mountain?" Tang He's expression changed again.

"Master Tang, it's okay. News just came that the military has trapped them on a branch of Song Mountain. Now the small mountain peak has been surrounded by water, and they can't escape."

"Let's go!" Tang He rushed out in a flash. Looking at the extremely fast Tang He, Hengdao was stunned for a moment. Tang He was a white-faced scholar and his reaction was faster than his own. It seemed that this was serious. Some are so heavy that they can't even lift their heads.

In Songshan, the hazy moonlight poured down through the gaps in the woods. Tan Kang was lying on the ground, looking at the full moon through the gaps in the small wooden roof. He was seriously injured. It was an attack. At the checkpoint, he was stabbed by an opponent with a spear. During the process of escaping into Songshan Mountain, he was almost dragged in by his companions. There were more than ten people in the group, and now only five were left. They found this hunter who usually went up the mountain to hunt. The small wooden house during the rest was not yet stable, and the entire hilltop was already surrounded by the Han troops who came after hearing the news.

"We are going to die!" Tan Kang looked at his companions around him and said with a smile, but his eyes were full of satisfaction, "However, we have delayed the Overwatch Council for nearly half a month. By this time, our real action team has already left Han. It’s over.”

The four people around also had smiles on their faces, "Even if they catch us now, it's impossible to catch up with them. Although we are dead, we have successfully sent Mao Wei back. From now on, we will fight with the Han Dynasty." We all have weapons to kill the enemy." A veteran laughed loudly: "Even if you die, you will have no regrets."

With several clanging sounds, there was the sound of sharp knives being embedded in the cabin. The moment everyone raised their heads, there was a roar and the wooden boards of the entire cabin flew out together. An iron grip was deeply embedded in their bodies. With the recovery of the rope, the cabin was completely dismantled in an instant.

Countless torches were lit, illuminating the five people in the small wooden house. The four people surrounding Tankang jumped up, but before they could make another move, the sound of arrows rang out, and hundreds of people stood up. An arrow was nailed around them, encircling them.

"If you don't want to die, don't move!" A cold voice sounded.

"No need to resist needlessly!" Tan Kang, who was lying on the ground, chuckled: "I heard the young master say that there is a court in Han Dynasty, and all criminals must be tried by the court before they can be punished. We are here In their eyes, you are naturally a criminal, but with this yamen, you may not necessarily die, maybe you can survive."

Lying on the ground, he picked up the knife beside him and threw it out of the arrow circle. "We surrender!" he shouted loudly.

With the sound of clanging, the weapons of the five people were thrown out. Several people helped Tan Kang and stood up in the circle of arrows.

Tang He's face was extremely gloomy, "Tan Kang, where is Mao Wei?"

Tan Kang looked at Tang He proudly, "I know you. You are Tang He, the general of the Supervisory Yuan. You are the one who has been chasing me these days. Look at us. There are only a few people here. What do you think? Will the person you are looking for be here with us?"

"Where is Mao Wei?" Tang He roared.

Tan Kang looked up to the sky and smiled: "Tang He, you are still far from competing with our young master. To tell you the truth, Mao Wei has already left the Han Kingdom by this time. We are just bait to lure you." "

"Impossible. No matter who it is, it's impossible to escape from our encirclement!" Tang He's body shook a few times.

"Nothing is impossible." Tan Kang looked at Tang He coldly, "Let me tell you, when you set up layers of defense in Tianhe County, our team that actually took Mao Wei away did not move at all. , they have been hiding in Tianhe County, and we decoys have tried every means to escape, and deliberately exposed our whereabouts to lure you to chase us. When you think you have discovered our traces, your control over Tianhe County will naturally More relaxed, they just left Tianhe County and Tanghe in a grand manner, do you want to know where Mao Wei left from?"

Tang He's face turned pale and his body was shaky. Hengdao on one side stretched out his hand to support him.

"They went to Cangzhou by water. You have navy, but don't forget that the Chu people also have boatmen. Now a large number of Chu ships enter your Cangzhou Port every day. Mao Wei is afraid that it will be long ago We have arrived in Chu State, this is a perfect cooperation between Qin and Chu. Hahaha!"

With a bang, Tang He spurted out a mouthful of blood. He leaned back and fell into Hengdao's arms. Hengdao's mouth twitched a few times and handed Tang He to the guard behind him: "Send Mr. Tang away." Go down the mountain and find a doctor immediately."

Watching several people coming down the mountain, Hengdao stared at the people in the circle of arrows and said with a smile: "I am Hengdao."

"I've heard about your reputation for a long time!" Tan Kang also said with a smile: "Come on, tie us up and go ask for credit!"

Hengdao chuckled, turned around and walked away. Behind him, the whistling sound of sharp arrows was heard along with the screams.

"You resisted arrest, so I shot you to death!" Hengdao muttered, "Isn't that right?" He turned around and asked the guard beside him.

"Yes, yes, these guys are so abominable, they actually want to assassinate you, Commander!" the guard beside him said quickly. (To be continued)
