Chapter 319: Escape
Qi Hongshen didn't know that his whereabouts, which he thought were secret, had already been discovered by Jiang Tangtang.
"Madam, your guess was correct. After I led my men to investigate, I discovered that many of the refugees leading the riots were indeed dressed in rags, but they were sturdy and spoke in a powerful voice. It was obvious that they were refugees disguised as soldiers.
Additionally, we discovered a group of suspicious-looking refugees in the western woods. We suspect they are Xirong soldiers in disguise."
After Yuan Si finished reporting the situation, he bowed with both hands and said solemnly, "I am willing to lead the team to capture the Western Rong soldiers. As long as we capture them and expose their conspiracy in front of the refugees, we can immediately resolve the problem of this refugee riot."
Xiaowu also expressed his willingness to lead troops to capture the Western Rong soldiers.
Jiang Tangtang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you two each lead a team and surround them from both sides. Make sure you capture them."
When the two men each led a team to capture the Xirong, the refugees became more and more violent.
Jiang Tangtang pursed her lips and took Lili to the highest city wall.
Seeing the man and the tiger appear on the high city wall, the noisy refugees below suddenly quieted down.
Many refugees had never seen Jiang Tangtang, but at this moment, looking at the woman on the city wall with her clothes fluttering, like a goddess from the sky, and then looking at the majestic tiger beside her that looked like a mythical beast, everyone understood her identity in almost an instant.
I don’t know who took the lead in kneeling and kowtow, but the refugees who had been making a lot of noise just now suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
Some people called out, begging the Madam to show mercy and let their entire family into the city to save their lives, while others shouted out their gratitude, thanking the Madam for distributing porridge and soup medicine...
A group of Xirong soldiers who instigated the refugees to cause trouble never dreamed that the situation would be reversed the moment Jiang Tangtang appeared.
They knew that Jiang Tangtang was like a living god in the hearts of the refugees, but they did not expect that the refugees worshipped Jiang to this extent.
Several Xirong soldiers were anxious and wanted to incite the refugees to cause trouble again, but firstly, the refugees were in their current state and might not listen to them at all. Secondly, it was too obvious to incite the refugees under Jiang Tangtang's nose at this time, which would arouse her vigilance.
The few of them gritted their teeth and decided to take the risk immediately. Without waiting for the young master's order, they captured Jiang Tangtang first.
Just as several people suddenly jumped up and pulled out the long hooks they were carrying, wanting to attack Jiang Tangtang, several tigers suddenly appeared in the air. These tigers were as fast as afterimages.
Before anyone could react, he threw a group of Xirong soldiers to the ground.
Some people had their necks bitten off directly, while others had their hands and feet bitten off by the tigers as they grew smarter, leaving the soldiers with a breath of life to facilitate interrogation.
It took dozens of seconds for the stunned refugees to react, and there was a burst of earth-shaking screams at the scene.
Jiang Tangtang said, "Don't panic, everyone. The Divine Tiger won't hurt anyone at will. The Divine Tiger kills those bad guys who have bad intentions and deliberately instigated everyone to attack the city, hoping to cause riots and harm Lingnan."
After Jiang Tangtang's reminder, many people reacted and realized that they had indeed seen these people take out things from their bodies and wanted to throw them towards Jiang Tangtang, but before they threw them, they were pounced on and bitten by the divine tiger that suddenly appeared.
The refugees knelt down and kowtowed again, and this time, they kowtowed more devoutly than the last time.
In the past, they had only heard rumors that Jiang Tangtang was a disciple of an immortal, but that was just hearsay. It was far from what they saw today. It was shocking to see Jiang Tangtang summon a group of divine tigers from the void to serve her.
The common people at that time already worshipped ghosts and gods, and those in disaster worshipped gods to the extreme, often praying for gods to save them from their suffering.
To them, Jiang Tangtang is now like a living god.
Jiang Tangtang spoke again, "You can all go and look at these people's faces and think carefully. Have they been whispering in your ears these days, saying that I will not let anyone into the city anymore?"
"Yes!" Several refugees glanced at the howling man beside the tiger and said angrily, "He was the one who told me that the Madam would no longer allow refugees into the city, saying that if we kept waiting like this, we would only end up waiting to die."
More and more refugees came forward to identify these Western Rong soldiers. Jiang Tangtang then explained the whole story of the plague, saying it was all a conspiracy of the Western Rong people, whose purpose was to cause chaos in Lingnan so that they could take over Lingnan in one fell swoop.
Including this time of persuading refugees to cause trouble, it was also to lure her out, to capture her, and to control Lingnan.
The refugees were furious when they heard this, and they all directed their anger at the Western Rong soldiers. They even wanted to whip the corpses of soldiers who had been killed by tigers.
Jiang Tangtang easily controlled the scene.
On the other side, Yuan Si and Xiao Wu also led people to encircle Qi Hongshen and his group from both sides and surrounded them at the foot of the West Mountain.
In order to conceal his tracks, Qi Hongshen brought only a few people with him this time, but they were all elite.
Even though they were surrounded, Qi Hongshen did not take the people brought by Yuan Si and Xiao Wu seriously.
He was just annoyed that Jiang Tangtang was much more perceptive than he expected and was able to find him before he took action.
However, although he was angry, his heart was also aroused by an extremely strong desire to win.
Qi Hongshen had slept with countless women in his life, but none of the women on his bed had ever been as capable of competing with him as she was.
It would be very interesting if a woman like this got on his bed.
A glint of determination flashed in Qi Hongshen's eyes. He was determined to catch that woman, conquer her, and make her work for Xirong.
But Qi Hongshen soon discovered that he had underestimated these soldiers. Their skills were no worse than his meticulously trained elite troops. In some cases, they were even slightly better.
Qi Hongshen was devastated and could not believe that his carefully trained elite troops were no match for the Lingnan soldiers.
But in less than an incense stick of time, most of the elite troops he brought were killed or wounded, while only the enemy troops were slightly injured, which forced him to accept reality.
"Young Master, hurry up and leave!" Seeing his brothers who were training together falling one by one, Guo Shaoan shouted with red eyes.
Qi Hongshen was unwilling to escape like this. His pride would not allow him to abandon his subordinates and flee like a defeated dog.
Yuan Si and Xiao Wu would not allow this leader who had been plotting behind the scenes again and again to escape. They looked at each other and surrounded Qi Hongshen together.
"Young Master, be careful." Guo Shaoan risked his life to stand in front of Xiao Wu and blocked the knife for Qi Hongshen.
"Master, I beg you! Run away!"
He shouted this sentence with his last breath, then fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
"Young master, run away quickly." More and more Western Rong soldiers, like Guo Shaoan, risked their lives to stop Yuan Si and Xiao Wu, and then, like Guo Shaoan, fell down one after another.
Qi Hongshen's body was covered in blood, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Finally, he suddenly put away his knife and ran into the woods.
Yuan Si and Xiao Wu immediately chased after them. Seeing this, the Xirong soldiers behind them all tried their best to stop them.
The desperate efforts of so many elite Western Rong soldiers to block the way ultimately affected the speed of the two men's pursuit.
After dealing with the Western Rong soldiers, Yuan Si and Xiao Wu chased after them, but the figure trained by Qi Hongshen was nowhere to be seen.
