Chapter 68
This package was brought in by Li Yan when he asked someone to deliver the goods. The letter in the package said that Zhang Bao's more than a dozen of his family members were kidnapped and kidnapped. If Zhang Bao wanted his family to survive, he had to kill Tang Xiao. Then he also gave some suggestions on how to hunt Tang Xiao.
If Zhang Bao dares not obey his orders, his family will be torn to vote, and the women in the family will be raped, killed, or even raped. If he kills Tang Xiao as required by the letter, his family will not only be fine, but he will also receive an additional generous reward.
In fact, in addition to more than a dozen ornamental tokens from Zhang Bao's family, a Zhongkan Jinyuan was also placed in the package. Each small Zhongkan Jinyuan was 100 taels of silver, while a Zhongkan Jinyuan was worth 500 taels of silver!
In this world, the Imperial Army soldiers are a golden-collar civil servant. The annual salary is about fifty taels of silver, equivalent to about 200,000 yuan in Tang Xiao’s previous life. Five hundred taels of silver is equivalent to two million yuan, which is enough for their ten-year salary. Basically, the family will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.
According to what the letter said, if Zhang Bao killed Tang Xiao as agreed, his family would receive ten more Zhongkaku gold ingots like this when they were released! On the one hand, it was the safety of their family, and on the other hand, it was the temptation of high rewards. Li Yan believed that he would definitely achieve his goal. This way of killing people with a knife has an advantage, that is, as the mastermind, he would not be easily exposed.
There is another letter from Li Yan to Zhang Bao. If he still did not take Tang Xiao's head to a designated location to deliver the goods before dawn tomorrow, they would rape and kill a female family member of Zhang Bao. Starting from the young, then the young and older, then they would rape and kill a person every other hour until all his family members were killed.
The reason why Zhang Bao was chosen was because after Li Yan investigated the family backgrounds of four imperial guards around Tang Xiao during this week, he found that Zhang Bao was the most filial and regarded his family as more important than his own life. This was exactly what Li Yan needed. Not only that, Zhang Bao was also a warrior with the peak cultivation level of the fourth level of the Renyuan level. He served five years of military service and had rich practical experience. He asked him to hunt Tang Xiao, who had just entered the third level of the Renyuan level, just to kill a chicken, which was more than enough.
After receiving the package, Zhang Bao felt extremely painful, but he did not dare to reveal it at all. Jin Yuanbao's temptation was second-hand. He was mainly worried about the safety of his family. After thinking about it, Zhang Bao felt that he had no choice at all. Unless he killed Tang Xiao, all his relatives would be killed, and even his four most beloved sisters would be raped and killed, which was something he could not accept at all.
Although he knew that he would not let him go if he killed Tang Xiao, Zhang Bao would not care about so many things now. If he did not kill Tang Xiao, his relatives would be killed tomorrow morning. He would kill Tang Xiao, tie his body to stones and throw it into the sea of corpses. There was still a glimmer of hope that he would not be discovered, so that he would successfully rescue his family.
Li Yan had already investigated and knew that Fang Ji was very indulging in Tang Xiao. In his threatening letter to Zhang Bao, he even told Zhang Bao about how to hunt Tang Xiao.
...
At midnight, an Imperial Army soldier named Zhao Si was sitting in the area near Tang Xiao's tent to perform a sentry mission. Zhang Bao walked over to Zhao Si and told him that Commander Fang Ji and Fang Da was going to see Tang Xiao and asked Zhao Si to escort Tang Xiao to meet at Pier No. 3 of the Fishing Port.
"It's been midnight, what did Commander Fang ask him to go over and do?" Zhao Si couldn't help but be very surprised.
"Who knows what's strange about them? Anyway, you escort him over, so I will be on duty here for you." Zhang Bao served as the squad leader in the Imperial Guard. The soldier named Zhao Si who was protecting Tang Xiao with him was a third-level warrior of the Renyuan level and a subordinate of him. He usually listened to him very much.
Although Zhao Si was a little confused, he still woke up Tang Xiao and told Tang Xiao about Fang Ji's secret discussion. Because these Tian Fang Ji would ask someone to call Tang Xiao from time to time, and Tang Xiao was already familiar with these Imperial Army soldiers, so Tang Xiao did not have any suspicion of Zhao Si, so he put on his clothes and followed Zhao Si to Pier 3.
The purpose of Zhang Bao doing this was to let the other sentries see that Tang Xiao was leaving with Zhao Si, so he could not doubt his head. When Zhao Si and Tang Xiao left, Zhang Bao quietly walked around Pier 3 from another road.
"Huh? Where is Commander Fang?" After arriving at Pier 3, Zhao Si looked around with some confusion.
"Who told you that Commander Fang was looking for me?" Tang Xiao also frowned. He instinctively followed the surroundings, but did not find any hidden dangers.
"It's Captain Zhang... Captain Zhang, are you here?" When Zhao Sizheng answered Tang Xiao, he saw Zhang Baozheng walking towards him.
"Yes, have you seen Commander Fang?" Zhang Bao continued to walk towards Zhao Si.
"No, it's strange..."
Before Zhao Si finished speaking, Zhang Bao suddenly punched him in the head. Because of the gap in level, Zhao Si's protective energy was instantly broken. The punch hit his forehead firmly, breaking Zhao Si's skull and flew out. Zhao Si fell to the ground without saying a word.
It is a bit far from the military training camp, and the sound of fighting cannot be heard.
Zhao Si's soul essence floated out of his corpse. At some point, it floated towards Tang Xiao's body as if it was being pulled. The demon-refining and demon-tempering gourd in Tang Xiao's body turned slightly, and quickly sucked Zhao Si's soul essence in it, and then it stopped moving. The process was extremely subtle, and neither Zhang Bao nor Tang Xiao noticed it.
"Someone asked you to kill me?" Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Bao's actions strangely and asked him.
"Yes, I have to do this, Master Tang, I'm sorry!" Zhang Bao showed a fierce look on his face, clenched his fists and rushed towards Tang Xiao.
Although Tang Xiao once defeated Zhu Qiner, the fourth-level Yilan Princess Zhu Qiner outside Yilan City, and Zhang Bao also saw this scene with his own eyes, Zhang Bao did not take Tang Xiao seriously. He knew that Tang Xiao defeated Princess Yilan more because of cheating and luck, and Princess Yilan obviously had no practical experience.
Zhang Bao is different. He stayed in the army for more than five years and made many military achievements before he was transferred back to Taijing City and entered the Imperial Guard. He surpassed Tang Xiao's first level in level. In this world, every level higher than the martial artist's cultivation means an absolute advantage.
Zhang Bao would never be fooled by Tang Xiao as easily as Princess Yilan. For him now, killing Tang Xiao is as simple as killing Zhao Si with one punch just now. Even if Tang Xiao wants to escape, he can knock him down from the sky with one punch.
This is the first order difference.
"Slow down!" Tang Xiao stopped Zhang Bao with his gesture, showing a smile on his face: "Anyway, I'm dead, so tell me who asked you to kill me."
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Zhang Bao really didn't know, and he didn't want to talk to Tang Xiao much. He knew that this young master Tang Xiao was full of tricks. The more he talked to him, the easier it would be to fall for him.
As Zhang Bao finished speaking, he raised his hand and punched Tang Xiao in front of him. He used the most ordinary Tiger Fist of Daming Dynasty. This move was very familiar. It was the first move of Tiger Fist of Tiger Fist. Tang Xiao still remembered that when he first came into this world, Xu Ming's fight was the first move of Tiger Fist. Xu Ming used the first move of the Tiger Fist in the fight. At that time, Tang Xiao didn't understand the martial arts in this world, and he was almost injured by Xu Ming's fist.
Tang Xiao clearly remembered the shock in his heart at that time.
This fierce tiger was shot out of the cage and shot from Zhang Bao, which was many times more powerful than Xu Ming at the time. After Zhang Bao took action, the air had condensed into the shape of a tiger's head. Although it was not as clear as the tiger's head that Mu Cang condensed at the time, it was already very ferocious.
"Tiger walks and dragon steps!"
Tang Xiao's body was on the side and his feet were extremely sensitive, so he had already let go of Zhang Bao's attack.
