Xiao Wu opened the door and saw Franco's slightly haggard face.敾

"Didn't sleep?"

"Why don't you sleep, how can you sleep after a few brothers died?" He said, looking at the injuries on Xiao Wu's arms and legs. "You are hurt?"

It was too dark last night, so he didn't see it either.But last night I didn't hear Xiao Wu utter a word, seeing that his injury is not serious at this time, I immediately feel very admirable.

"Small injury, it's okay. How's the situation outside?"

"The other party came prepared. Of the five people shot by the supervisor yesterday, two were killed at that time. The rest of the wounded committed suicide by taking poison. Apart from an ordinary dagger, they had nothing on them. Something that can prove your identity. We searched the inns and houses within a radius of ten miles overnight, but found nothing."

Franco shook his head and said somewhat depressedly.

The purpose of these five people is extremely strong, and they came here just to kill Xie Xuelong.敾

But this is the first time for Xie Xuelong to set foot on Spanish soil, so it is impossible for him to have enemies.Since there is no enemy, then we have to think about why Xie Xuelong was killed.And what's the benefit of killing Xie Xuelong?Who benefits the most?

After thinking about it, if Xie Xuelong is killed, then this cooperation will definitely come to naught, and even turn his back.And those who are happy to see this situation are only those hostile countries and those inside the country who eat inside and outside.

Thinking about it this way, the situation suddenly became clear.

Netherlands.

It is absolutely inseparable from this matter. If they were not in Spain, they would be beyond their reach. I am afraid that this attack would not be as simple as a few people coming to assassinate.

"Master Xie, we don't know how many accomplices the other side has. If we continue our journey, we will inevitably continue to fall into a dangerous situation. It is better to send someone to Mexico City for help, or wait for the large troops behind to catch up before we go on our way. Although there will be a delay in time Longer, but also the safest. What do you think?"

"Everything is up to your arrangement." Xie Xuelong said noncommittally.敾

He also understood the current situation. Although he escaped a disaster, it was purely because the other party didn't know that he had a pistol with a burst of fire in his hand.If it had been replaced with a flintlock gun at that time, I am afraid that there would not even be time to load the second bullet.

As long as two people entangle Xiao Wu, and the rest rush forward with bullets, there is absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

This kind of thing happens once.

If he bites the bullet and rushes forward again, he will really die without knowing how to die.

"Then do it like this. If you wait for the large troops to arrive, it will take at least two or three days. Waiting here is not an option. I plan to send someone to Mexico City for help, and ask His Majesty to send an army to escort you into the city."

"it is good!"

Xie Xuelong nodded in agreement.敾

Franco did what he said, and immediately sent one of his men to ride to Mexico City.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was not safe, so I sent two men again to Mexico City from two different directions.

At this time, Franco still had eight guards, and he sent four of them out to hide in different directions to prevent the enemies hidden in the dark from launching a surprise attack on them.

Next, they ate breakfast and waited quietly for the news from Mexico.

But it is said that the men sent by Franco for the first time rode fast horses and galloped all the way after leaving the market, trying to reach Mexico City as quickly as possible.

The market where Xie Xuelong and others were located was only thirty or forty miles away from Mexico City, and they arrived in less than an hour without hesitating their horsepower.

He just rode his horse and ran wildly, completely unaware that danger was approaching him in the woods ahead.敾

"Jason, Martin and the others didn't come back overnight, it must have been a disaster, why are we still here?"

"Even if Martin died, it would be a shock. There are only a dozen of them, and Franco will definitely find a way to ensure the safety of the Ming people. Tell me, what is the best way? Keep going? Or ask for help?" Jason said calmly, lying on the ground and looking at the ground in the distance.

"If it were me, I would definitely not dare to go forward. I would even go back and forth to join the big army. Do you think Franco will lead Ming people back?"

"No, he's not as stupid as you."

"Ok?"

"Hmm, huh? As long as you use your brain a little bit, you will know that it is safest to stay there and not go anywhere. It is only more than 30 miles away from Mexico City. As long as you send the news to Mexico City, Felipe IV will definitely send The army went out of the city to escort the Ming people. So, we just wait here, kill their messengers, and we can wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

"Why bother, just attack and kill them." Tang

"It's not as simple as you think. Our people are too scattered. Patrick has already gone to summon them. It won't take half a day to come back, and it's uncertain how many people can be summoned in a short time. If we let them pass the news, I'm afraid we It’s really a missed opportunity.”

"Oh, Jason, why is it so troublesome for you to do something. You should have let me go with Martin yesterday, and I could hit ten of them! Maybe the heads of the Ming people are all in front of you now! "

Jason glanced at this simple-minded, well-developed companion Nick, too lazy to talk to him, and continued to look into the distance.

"Someone is here!"

Suddenly, Jason frowned and said.

"Where is where?"

"Look for yourself!"

"Hey! There are people. Jason, what should I do?"

"Use a rope to stop him."

"okay!"

Excitedly, Nick pulled out a bundle of rope the size of a thumb and threw it across the road.

"Hey buddy, go on!"

After throwing it, he lay on the ground, then remembered something, and said to Jason:

"Jason, what if you make a mistake? This man tripped off his horse, and he will be disabled if he doesn't die!"

"Is your brain flooded? If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. When did you start to live with the Spaniard? Are you an undercover agent?"

"I..." Nick pursed his lips aggrievedly. "I'm just asking."

"Shut up, here we come!"

The sound of horseshoes gradually approached, and all the people hidden in the woods held their breaths and looked in the direction of the coming people through the dense bushes.

Jason was a little nervous. They felt the surrounding terrain very clearly. The path in front of them was the only way to Mexico.If you want to go to other places, you have to go around this forest, at least twenty or thirty li detours.

If Franco sends someone to report, this road is the best choice.

This is his judgment, but in fact he himself is not sure whether everything will develop according to his idea.敾

Just like the assassination last night, I thought that five people would deal with two, and they would never miss, but they missed instead, and they made their plan even more difficult to implement.

It was too late when they got the news, Franco had already taken Xie Xuelong for most of the distance.

It is not easy to organize such an assassination in a hurry, and the next step is to see if the god of luck is on his side.
