Chapter 1004: Encounter in the Wild

Not long after Wu Fan and Zhao Qi left Qingyuan County, the news of their departure reached Dai Liang's ears.

Wu Fan sent Tang San to monitor Dai Liang, and Dai Liang also sent people to keep an eye on Wu Mansion, so the whereabouts of Wu Fan and Zhao Qi were soon known to Dai Liang.

"Do you know where they went?" Dai Liang asked the guard who reported the news.

"General, I don't know. I'm afraid they will find out, so I dare not follow too closely." The guard replied: "But they went east."

"East?" Dai Liang frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up and said: "Hermit Village!"

Dai Liang had also inquired about Wu Fan's situation before, and knew that Wu Fan was still the captain of the militia in Hermit Village. Wu Fan's registered residence was also in Hermit Village, and Hermit Village was just to the east of Qingyuan County.

"Call Commander Liu!" Dai Liang said to the guard.

"Yes, General."

Soon, a sturdy man came to Dai Liang and bowed to him.

"Liu Tong, can I trust you?" Dai Liang looked at the man and said.

"General, rest assured. I have followed you for many years and have no other intentions towards you." The sturdy man, Liu Tong in Dai Liang's mouth, said seriously.

"Well." Dai Liang approached Liu Tong, patted his shoulder and said, "You are the person I trust the most. Now, I have a very important thing to entrust to you. This matter is very dangerous, and once the news is leaked, it will be a capital crime. Do you dare to accept it?"

"General, just give your orders. My life belongs to you and I am willing to do anything for you." Liu Tong said.

"Very good." Dai Liang nodded and said, "Kill two people for me."

"Who?"

"Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess!"

"Yes, General!" Liu Tong accepted the order without any hesitation. When he knew who he was going to kill, he already understood what Dai Liang meant when he said that this matter was very dangerous.

"Remember, this matter is very important. If they don't die, I will die, but I don't want to die, so they must die!" Dai Liang said.

"I understand." Liu Tong responded.

"You have been with me for many years, I believe in you, but..." Dai Liang's face darkened, and he said: "But if the operation fails, I don't want to see anyone taken prisoner, understand?"

"I understand." Liu Tong's eyelids twitched slightly, but he still agreed without hesitation.

"Go, take the guards you think are trustworthy with you, Wu Fan is not a good opponent, you alone are not enough." Dai Liang patted Liu Tong's shoulder again.

"Yes, General, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task!" Liu Tong assured again and turned to leave.

Dai Liang looked at Liu Tong's back and fell into deep thought.

Liu Tong was originally an ordinary soldier in the army. When he was out on patrol, he was ambushed by the rebels and became a prisoner. At that time, Dai Liang happened to pass by with his troops, scared away the rebels, and saved Liu Tong's life.

However, Liu Tong lost an arm in the battle and could not stay in the army any longer. In order to repay Dai Liang for saving his life, he volunteered to be a servant in Dai Liang's mansion. Dai Liang recognized him and saw that he had some skills, so he promoted him to the guards in the mansion.

Liu Tong, who lost his arm, did not become depressed, but insisted on practicing martial arts, even more attentively than before, and his strength continued to improve until he was promoted to the position of the head of the guards. In the past, Liu Tong did a very good job every time Dai Liang gave him things, so Dai Liang trusted Liu Tong very much.

Dai Liang thought of Liu Tong for the assassination of Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess. After several of his personal soldiers were arrested, there were fewer people around Dai Liang who were trustworthy. Liu Tong became the first choice for this mission because of his strength and previous loyalty.

"I hope you will not let me down this time, just like before." Dai Liang said to himself.

Just like what Dai Liang just said to Liu Tong, if Wu Fan and Zhao Qi don't die, he will die, and he doesn't want to die, so Wu Fan and Zhao Qi must die!

However, what Dai Liang didn't know was that his mansion had long been targeted by Tang San's men. When Liu Tong led the guards to chase Wu Fan and Zhao Qi, Tang San's men knew it at the first time.

"There must be something wrong with so many people being dispatched at once." Tang San said to himself: "Besides, that direction is exactly the direction where the master and the princess left."

Thinking of this, Tang San shouted, "Come on! Gather the team and follow me!"

After leaving his confidants to continue to stare at Dai Liang's mansion, Tang San led his men to chase Liu Tong and others.

Tang San and others galloped all the way, chasing Liu Tong and others, and finally caught up with Liu Tong's team halfway.

The two sides confronted each other, and no one spoke. Tang San, who was collecting intelligence, recognized Liu Tong at a glance. After all, Liu Tong had a high status in Dai Liang's mansion, so he was naturally the focus of Tang San's attention.

Liu Tong didn't know Tang San, but he knew the clothes of the guards in Wu's mansion, so he recognized the identities of Tang San and others at a glance.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Tang San and Liu Tong looked at each other for a while, and almost at the same time issued the order to attack. Meeting in the wild, both sides knew each other's purpose in their hearts. In this case, there was no need to waste words.

The two sides soon fought together, and the scene after the fight was quite tense.

Liu Tong himself was quite strong, and the guards he brought were all trustworthy and extraordinary people. The whole team was quite strong.

The people Tang San brought were also not bad. Since Wu Fan had the idea of ​​secretly cultivating his own power, the number and strength of the guards in Wu's mansion have been constantly improving. With Wu Fan's consent, Sun Liang has recruited a lot of guards during this period. These guards are not weak. In addition, with the financial support of Wu's mansion, the guards are well-equipped.

As a result, the two sides fought evenly and neither of them could take advantage.

"Dang!"

Tang San and Liu Tong's weapons collided with each other. Tang San groaned, his face flushed, and his arms trembled slightly. Obviously, he suffered a loss in the previous fight.

Tang San himself had an injury on his leg. Although he had been practicing martial arts since then, since he was responsible for the intelligence work around Wu Fan, he had almost no chance to do it himself, and his practical experience was really lacking.

On the other hand, although Liu Tong was also disabled and missing an arm, his strength was not reduced at all. Dai Liang often sent him to perform tasks, so his combat experience was much stronger than Tang San.

In the previous attack, it was obvious that Liu Tong took advantage.

Liu Tong looked at Tang San mockingly, then clamped his legs around the horse's belly and rushed towards Tang San again.

"Come again!"

As the horse's speed increased, Liu Tong's momentum continued to rise, and he was even stronger than before. The big knife in his hand flashed a frightening cold light.

With this blow, he was determined to kill Tang San!

Tang San controlled the horse to stand still, without charging or running away, just looking at Liu Tong with cold eyes.

When the distance between the two sides was less than five meters, Tang San suddenly raised his arm towards Liu Tong.

Liu Tong was startled, but it was too late to react.

In a blink of an eye, the horses of the two sides passed each other, and a body fell heavily from the horse's back.

It was not Tang San, but Liu Tong!
