Lifting the curtain on the carriage, the guide saw the lush trees on both sides of the official road, with murderous intent hidden everywhere.
"Zhang Ruli, Zhang Ruli, you still want to play these tricks with us.
When we are safe and let go, even if you have thousands of troops, it will be in vain.
When the time comes, let you have a taste of our power."
The leader slowly lowered the curtain , thinking secretly in his heart.
After a while, the carriage stopped again.
This time, unlike last time, the carriage crossed the boundary between Songkou and Haicheng.
The leader quickly got out of the car and saw the Songkou boundary marker engraved with English characters.
Obviously, this was the result that Zhang Ruli had expected.
This group of thieves who held him hostage knew the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the great powers very well.
They also understood that Songkou, as the British Concession, was of great significance to their escape.
As long as he successfully escaped into the concession, it would be equivalent to blocking Zhang Ruli from the door.
Zhang Ruli also knew very well that after he was taken off the carriage again, he would face unprecedented challenges.
"It's time for you to fulfill your promise now, right?"
Zhang Ruli asked calmly.
"The Governor is really an impatient person," he said, and the leader signaled to several of his men to tie up Zhang Ruli and take off the cloth covering Zhang Ruli's eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhang Ruli asked angrily, eyes wide open, while trying to break free from the rope.
"You are unkind, Governor Zhang, so don't blame us for being unjust," the leader replied viciously.
"When did this governor be unkind?"
Zhang Ruli asked.
"Hahahaha, Governor Zhang is still pretending to be crazy.
Do you think what you have done can deceive us?"
the leader replied with a sneer of disdain.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Zhang Ruli denied.
"Captain Zhang, you haven't seen that your loyal men have long been lurking in the woods on both sides of the official road.
They are always thinking of catching us all in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that all your tricks have been discovered.
Now we have already Stepping into the boundary of Songkou, Governor Zhang, I'm afraid you are asking Tian Tian not to respond, and the earth is not functioning properly," the leader said viciously.
"I will see if any of you dare to touch a hair on my head," Zhang Ruli shouted sternly.
"Come here, cut off Zhang Ruli's tongue.
Let's see how arrogant he still can be."
The leader ordered in a loud voice.
A man holding a dagger with cold light and a fierce look on his face came to Zhang Ruli and tried to open Zhang Ruli's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruli hit his face hard with his head.
The dagger fell immediately, and the man whined in pain.
"Cut off Zhang Ruli's head."
Seeing that his men had suffered a loss, the leader felt extremely humiliated and ordered sternly.
At this moment, torches suddenly lit up around these people.
After a crisp gunshot, the man holding the short knife fell to the ground.
"If you damn kill Zhang Ruli, we will die, and we will drag him along to support him."
The leader yelled, and he also pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at Zhang Ruli, who was tied up.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
Now each of them knew clearly that as long as they could kill Zhang Ruli, it would be worth it.
"Bang bang bang" After a burst of intensive gunfire, those people fell to the ground one after another.

"Brothers, please quickly untie the governor."
Zhang Ruli, who was tied up by Wuhua Dadu, heard a familiar voice in his ears.
"Heavenly Master" Zhang Ruli replied loudly.
Several gunmen dressed in black came up quickly and untied the rope from Zhang Ruli, followed closely by Qingfeng.
"The poor Taoist arrived late, which frightened the governor," Qingfeng said in apology.
"The Heavenly Master's words are serious.
I really didn't expect you to arrive so quickly," Zhang Ruli said with emotion.
"Pindao knows the Governor's concerns.
This area is already part of Songkou and belongs to the British concession.
Too fierce a battle may attract the attention of the British patrol, and there may be another incident," Qingfeng said calmly.
"The Heavenly Master ordered our brothers to take away the bodies of these thieves together.
We quickly retreated to the boundaries of Haicheng to avoid attracting the British patrol," Zhang Ruli ordered.
"Don't worry, Governor, I will make my own arrangements."
After Qingfeng finished speaking, the gunmen immediately carried the bodies of all the thieves onto two carriages.
Everyone quickly evacuated the Songkou area.
At this moment, a soldier came to report.
"Grand Governor, Heavenly Master, there seems to be one alive among those thieves."
"The Governor and the Celestial Master will go over right away."
After Zhang Ruli said that, he and Qingfeng came to the carriage that was hauling the body.
The dying thief had been carried out alone by the gunmen and laid flat on the ground.
"You gang of thieves are so cruel.
Just now you wanted to cut off the head of this governor.
Tell me, where are your other accomplices?"
Zhang Ruli asked angrily.
"You won't get it even if you beat me to death."
The man replied with difficulty, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Grand Governor, what you just said reminded Pindao of those people who died tragically in the mountain village," Qingfeng continued.
"Master Tian, do you suspect that these people are the murderers who massacred the villagers?"
Zhang Ruli asked.
Qingfeng nodded, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Yes, I implore you to interrogate this thief."
"Master Tian, feel free to ask," Zhang Ruli replied immediately.
"Pindao is here to ask you, those fellow villagers who died tragically in the mountain village, are you the murderers?"
Qingfeng shouted at the top of his lungs.
The surviving thief had a strange smile on his face.
He neither nodded nor shook his head, but said nothing.
"Don't you have wives, children, mothers, and even children of several years old, and you won't let them go?
Are you still human?"
Qingfeng asked angrily.
"Damn them, damn them."
The surviving thief had a wry smile on his face, and the blood in his mouth still couldn't stop pouring out.
"Devil, devil," Qingfeng yelled angrily.
The surviving thief stared wide-eyed and became unresponsive for an instant.
Xin Yun, who was standing aside, put his hand over and found that the surviving thief was already dead.
"Master, it's really easy for them to let them die like this."

Xin Yun thought of the tragic situation in the mountain village and felt that they had escaped God's punishment, and said angrily.
"It's true that they have committed inhumane crimes and are finally being repaid," Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"God has eyes, Master, don't be too sad," Zhang Ruli hurriedly comforted.
At this moment, hundreds of lanterns appeared on the boundary of Songkou, rushing toward the boundary monument between the two places.
