The speed was so fast that a piece of tile slipped from the feet of a guard and fell onto the long street with a bang. In the silent night, there was a crisp sound.
They gasped and watched helplessly as the two white shadows left each other in the night.
They don't have the dexterity and jumping ability to jump across this wide street.
After a cup of tea, Shen Lie took Xia Zhaoyi to the old city of Xucheng.
In the dilapidated old city, most of the houses were collapsed and dilapidated. Through a few sycamore trees, a dark figure emerged from the front corner: "Young Master."
Looking at the girl in white next to him, the shadow said again: "Miss Ah Li."
Shen Lie's voice was as low as his and asked: "Are you sure this is it?"
"confirmed."
Shen Lie nodded and looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ali, come here."
The sound is clear and gentle, like the gentle breeze at night, moistening things silently.
Xia Zhaoyi followed him into a four-story house.
The entire courtyard was silent, and in the dim view, there were only two courtyard lights at the main house.
A Xiang Fei bamboo curtain hung at the side door of the main house. Xia Zhaoyi followed Shen Lie and hid in an ear room in the courtyard.
The ear room smelled of decay and a strong musty smell. Shen Lie poked a hole in the window paper with his long fingers. Xia Zhaoyi asked softly: "Where is this?"
"One of those rat's nests of people."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
Shen Lie seemed to suddenly think of something, lowered his head, smiled, and looked at her: "You didn't know where you were, so you abandoned that person and followed me."
The room was too small and the air smelled bad. The only comfortable smell came from the elegant and light fragrance of his body.
Xia Zhaoyi moved her lower lip, hesitated to speak, and finally said a calm "hmm" without saying anything more.
At this time, I saw several people hurriedly coming back from outside. Their steps were fast, but they didn't look impatient.
Xia Zhaoyi recognized one person at a glance and said quietly: "It's them."
It was the two people who escaped on the roof.
"How are they skilled?" Shen Lie asked.
"Very good," Xia Zhaoyi said, "There were five people in front and behind. I killed three of them and two of them escaped."
After she left Sihai Tea House, she thought that there was more than one person shooting arrows at that time, so she simply went to find them one by one.
One of the crossbowmen answered without questioning that there were ten crossbowmen in total this time.
This was the only crossbowman she spared, so there were only nine corpses lying in the Yamen.
Later, she followed the clues provided by the crossbowman and found the five masters who were following her on the third floor of a shop. As a result, three of them died and two of them escaped.
In fact, in this battle, she was seriously injured and fought very hard. She originally wanted to ask questions because the crossbow archer knew very little.
As a result, the other party wanted to fight her to death, so she had no choice but to fight all the way to the roof.
Whether it is flat land or a steep roof, it is the same to her, but to the other person, the difference becomes obvious.
"I came to look for them," Xia Zhaoyi added, "They didn't come to find me."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more people appeared outside.
The pace of one of them sounded impatient.
Soon, voices sounded in the house, the sound was slightly loud.
It was about the occupation of Omi's compound on Yanamatsu Road in the east of the city.
"I did it." Shen Lie whispered to Xia Zhaoyi, briefly explained the whole story of tracking the past, and finally said, "That Uncle Egg should be here."
As she finished speaking, she actually heard the word "Uncle Egg", and someone asked him how he was injured.
Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi held their breath and listened intently.
Uncle Dan's voice was weak: "I was just ordered to humiliate you, but I didn't expect that it would lead to disaster."
"On the east side of the city, no one survived?" one person asked.
"It's still unknown, but it should be... gone."
"This witch has bewitched the Xia family army, and now she has an army in her hands." Another person said.
Uncle Dan's voice sounded again: "Let's not talk about this for now. I think we should disperse and leave immediately. It is not appropriate to stay in Xucheng for a long time."
"It's not easy to get out of the city tonight. Crown Prince Xuanping brought the imperial edict in the afternoon. Now the city gates are heavily guarded, and there are even more troops stationed outside the city. It's difficult to go to several of our inns and shops right now, and if you go to other inns, you will be
Strict investigation and interrogation.”
"Then let's disperse. How many people can survive? After leaving, everyone can choose on their own, either to go to Xizhou Mansion or Yuetang Temple." One person said.
The words Yuetangguan made Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie look at each other silently in the darkness.
It didn't look like there were people in the temple, although they only went to a few hills and didn't visit the entire Yuetang Temple.
Now it sounds like it actually has something to do with them.
The others responded one after another.
Soon, a few people came out first.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his voice: "Shall we go out?"
"Ye Zheng and the others will stop you outside."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and smiled slightly: "You have everything in mind."
"They want to harm you." Shen Lie said in a deep voice.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at his features in the darkness, feeling an indescribable warmth.
She smiled, turned away calmly, and looked back outside.
There was a very familiar feeling that suddenly became clear again.
That's what she said to Zhao Ning when she was in Hengxiang.
She said that no matter what time, Shen Lie always made her feel at ease.
She had never felt this kind of peace of mind from anyone else, not even her master.
Although, she may not need this kind of peace of mind.
As more and more people left, they finally saw the sloppy Uncle Dan.
Shen Lie thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Uncle Egg is an interesting name."
Xia Zhaoyi was a little surprised: "You rarely comment on other things or people."
"..."
The stern handsome face showed a hint of discomfort in the darkness.
Not yet, Ji Xiahe said he was boring, so he wanted to find something to talk about.
Including the cool white clothes that Ji Xiahe asked him to wear, which he has changed every day but never changed the color.
Thinking about the girl in white clothes found on Jiexing Mountain, although her dress was dyed red with blood, she could still be seen lining her with white clothes.
He also wore it.
But what a coincidence, she is also dressed in white today.
"There is a veteran general in the Xia family army," Xia Zhaoyi said, "his name is Xia Xingming. Guess what nickname he was given by other people in the army?"
"What?" Shen Lie asked.
Xia Zhaoyi laughed: "Don't kneel down, general."
"Don't kneel, General?"
"Because I don't like others to kneel to me, and Uncle Xia knows me best, so whenever someone wants to kneel to me, Uncle Xia will be the first to stop me. Over time, no kneeling, no kneeling, no kneeling, no kneeling, it became
Uncle Xia’s catchphrase. Then, they gave Uncle Xia the title of General Who Will Not Kneel.”
Shen Lie smiled softly: "Interesting."
"It may be the same as Uncle Egg. But to be called Uncle Egg, either he likes to throw eggs, or he likes to eat eggs, or," Xia Zhaoyi looked outside and said with a smile, "his head
The hair that has not been washed all year round is like a hen's nest, used as a nest by birds, where they have laid eggs."
His deep smile became brighter, and he looked into her cunning and bright eyes, wanting more and more to hug her and kiss her gently.
