At the intersection of Wuhua Tianbao.
Liao Qin told Xu Hang about the situation, and he immediately jumped off his horse: “Can you say it again?”
“Commander Duan is really smart. He saw at a glance that the Zhang Family Manor was a cover and did not attack it at all. Now he has brought people to Qiyan Villa. However, this is beyond our expectations.”
Xu Hang’s mouth moved unnaturally: “What do you mean by beyond expectations?”
Liao Qin felt a little embarrassed, thinking he had done something wrong: “When I came here earlier, I was afraid that the Zhang family would suddenly come to provide support, so I cut off the bridge on the nearest road. Now if they want to come here again, they can only take a detour. It’s nothing… it’s just…”
Xu Hang suddenly felt that Liao Qin was being fussy and shouted, “Hurry up and speak!”
Liao Qin had not expected things to become so serious. “Zhang Xiuming was afraid that Duan Yelin might succeed, so he guessed that you would definitely leave from the dock and set up an ambush there in advance. I originally thought that when you guys were safe, you guys could leave from the dock owned by Ghost Master and avoid his ambush circle, so I didn’t remove it in advance. Now Commander Duan is taking a detour and will definitely pass by there!”
Xu Hang clenched the hands in his sleeves.
Liao Qin added, “I heard that Zhang Xiuming specifically brought out all the inmates on death row in the prison just to deal with Commander Duan. He specifically ordered that if Duan Yelin died, all of them would be pardoned and rewarded with 10,000 yuan.”
The most heinous prisoners on death row also want to survive. If Zhang Xiuming promises them freedom and wealth, they will definitely fight Duan Yelin to the death in a desperate manner.
With Duan Yelin’s people… he’s afraid they won’t last long.
“How many death row prisoners did he mention?”
“There are always hundreds of them. If we want to break their trap, it will be no problem if all my people go there.”
Xu Hang walked forward a few steps. This is a fork in the road. One way leads back to Qiyan Villa, and the other way leads to the dock.
Going right or left will result in different outcomes. As the old saying goes, if you walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. He used Duan Yelin to lay out his plan, and was self-righteous but now he has finally suffered a backlash.
So planning depends on people, and achieving success depends on heaven. There is no such thing as smooth sailing in this world.
Liao Qin looked at Xu Hang and heard the sound of the pursuers coming down from Qiyan Villa in the distance. He hurriedly urged, “Mr. Xu, it’s too late. You must choose between Zhang Yaochen and Duan Yelin.”
Looking at the light of Qiyan Villa in the distance, Xu Hang bit his lower lip.
It’s just this one step away. He has survived all these years with gritted teeth just for this step. How can he back down here?
But…
That stubborn guy will do what he promised, and he will never turn back even if he knows he will die at the dock.
Zhang Yaochen is a complete hypocrite and scumbag, but Duan Yelin is at least a brave general who can still kill enemies for his country. It’s not fair for them to exchange their lives for each other.
Hundreds of people stared at Xu Hang with burning eyes, eagerly awaiting his command, holding heavy weapons in their hands.
Xu Hang took a deep breath and didn’t hesitate for too long. He mounted his horse again and turned his head, saying, “Go to the dock.”
After hearing Xu Hang’s answer, Liao Qin asked again, “Mr. Xu, I must remind you once more, please reconsider carefully. Your deal with the Ghost Master is a one-time chance. If you let it slip, there’s no telling when you’ll come across such a rare opportunity again!”
Xu Hang did not look back, but stared at the increasingly dark road ahead, and said hoarsely: “There is nothing to think twice about. Everyone has only one life. I just think that Duan Yelin’s life is more valuable than Zhang Yaochen’s.”
‘In life and death, I will be with you forever.’
This promise made on a rainy night was like a key that pointed to the sealed box of rationality in Xu Hang’s mind and released all the irrational emotions inside.
Xu Hang whipped the horse hard, the horse neighed, and ran forward with all its hooves, rushing to rescue the urgent situation without delay.
Liao Qin immediately followed suit and waved his arm, and a large group of people followed. The sound of horse hooves rumbled at the intersection of Wuhua Tianbao for a long time.
————
At this time, there were already a lot of corpses lying in the port.
At the dock, a cloud of black smoke had just dissipated, and the wheel of an overturned car was still rolling there alone. The door of the car was kicked hard by someone, and Duan Yelin, with blood on his head, jumped out with a gun in his hand.
To call it “jumped” might be an exaggeration, it should really be said to have rolled down.
As soon as he landed, he staggered slightly, feeling dizzy. Even his hat was ruined, falling to the ground with its edges scorched beyond recognition.
As the car was driving over here, he felt that there was something wrong with the boxes standing by the dock. He quickly asked someone to stop the car, turned the steering wheel hard, and the car turned back a few inches away from the center of the explosion. He was only seconds away from being blown to pieces.
As soon as the explosion was over, several bullets were fired at him. He quickly rolled sideways to the back of the car and fired a few shots back.
“Damn it!” Duan Yelin wiped the blood, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently, and then he heard Qiao Song’s voice.
“Commander!”
Duan Yelin saw a figure crawling forward in front of him and asked with concern, “Qiao Song? Are you alright?”
In fact, Qiao Song’s back was also covered in blood, and he didn’t know if it was his own blood or someone else’s. Qiao Song shook his head and said, “I’m fine, Commander. We’ve suffered heavy losses here. I’m afraid there are no more than 30 people who can still fight…”
Thirty people? But Duan Yelin heard the voices on the other side and was afraid that there were no less than a hundred people there.
Although this is a dock and is a bit remote, there are residents nearby. The Zhang family killed people and set off explosions so blatantly, it’s really lawless!
Qiao Song sat up, also with his back against the car, occasionally popping his head out to shoot a few enemies, then quickly got back in: “Commander, let’s retreat first, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!”
“You go now,” Duan Yelin licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his chin. “You lead the brothers to retreat first, I’ll cover you!”
Qiao Song burst out, “How is that possible! If someone has to stay behind, it should be me too! Commander, you go first!”
“Be careful!”
With a bang, a bullet flew past Qiao Song’s ear. Duan Yelin pulled him over and then shot in the direction of the bullet. A figure in the distance fell down.
It’s so dangerous that they can’t relax for a moment.
With this pounce, Qiao Song pressed his palm on one of Duan Yelin’s legs, and then he found that his crotch was full of blood. The thick fabric was soaked through, and blood was dripping out.
Having fought on the battlefield for many years, he knew with a touch that Duan Yelin was most likely to have a broken bone. He looked up in shock: “…Commander?”
Duan Yelin shuddered in pain, then smiled as if nothing had happened: “…That’s why I ask you to go first, I can’t walk far now.”
When the car exploded, the whole car overturned. His right leg was the first to be hit and is now broken. He had used too much strength to kick open the deformed door with his other leg, and now he is exhausted just by sitting here.
He knew his own body very well. Since he was surrounded by enemies and in great danger, there was no need to let so many brothers die together. If anyone can retreat, then retreat.
