Chapter 2508 Enemies of enemies can become friends (two chapters in one)
Spiritual world, Zecheng.
"call……"
There was a gust of wind outside the window, and as time went by, the wind became more and more violent.
"Boom..."
Suddenly thunder exploded, and the terrible sound shook all directions, and the residents of the whole city could hear it.
Things have changed.
I thought that the weather would remain clear, but I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, there were many dark clouds in the clear sky, the moon was obscured, and there was wind first and then thunder.
Not long ago, a fierce war broke out in the city, and many houses were destroyed, which cast a shadow on the hearts of the residents. Now the weather has changed again, and heavy rain in the bathroom is coming, making the already bad mood worse.
Many people were awakened by the thunder and now got up to check whether the doors and windows at home were closed.
After confirming that the doors and windows of the home were closed, the residents went back to bed to rest.
Although the wind and thunder outside are getting louder and louder, because they have experienced many heavy rainstorms in the past, the residents in the city are now used to it and can still sleep peacefully in such a noisy environment.
…………
"Tap, step, step..."
There is a deserted area in the southwest corner of the city. It was very prosperous before. Because of the plague, many people died at that time, and then it became dilapidated. Now few people come to this place at night.
However, at this moment, two figures were moving forward quickly.
The masked men carried the injured rebels, ran quickly on the gravel road, and then entered the lush woods.
"Bang."
The masked man suddenly stopped and placed the injured rebel on the ground.
"Well……"
Because the injuries on his body were very serious, the rebels screamed in pain due to some movements at this time.
He gritted his teeth and persisted. When the severe pain subsided, he looked at the masked man and spoke.
"Who are you?"
"..." The masked man looked at the rebels in silence. Half a minute later, he said, "It doesn't matter who I am, as long as you know that I am not your enemy."
The insurgent initially thought that the masked man was his companion, but through some tests on the way just now, he was able to confirm that the insurgent was not his companion.
Now that the other party has saved him, and since he is unwilling to disclose his identity, the rebels will no longer ask this question.
"I saved you tonight, and the government will definitely try to find you next," the masked man said.
"It's natural. They mobilized so many people tonight and set up a dragnet to catch me, but I escaped. They are so angry that they must find a way to find me," the rebel said.
"I can't protect you all the time." The masked man said.
"I am very grateful that you can save my life. Next, I will find a way out of the current predicament myself." said the rebel.
The masked man walked to the side, then bent down and picked up a package from the grass and placed it in front of the rebels.
"This package contains some healing medicine and food. Whether you can survive afterward is entirely up to you."
After saying that, the masked man left.
The rebels stared at each other's back until the masked man disappeared, and then they looked away.
The rest just now allowed him to regain some physical strength. Although his injuries have not improved, he now has the strength to move his hands and feet.
The rebels opened the package given by the masked man and took some healing medicine.
The blood on the wound stopped after taking the healing medicine, and the complexion also recovered a little.
At this time, the weather changed, the moon was covered by dark clouds, strong winds soon began to blow, and thunder and lightning appeared more and more frequently.
When the rebels saw such a drastic change in the weather, their faces suddenly became serious.
Next, he had to quickly find a place where he could shelter from the wind and rain to recuperate. Otherwise, if his body was injured and soaked by the heavy rain, the injuries on his body would continue to worsen.
The rebels stood up from the ground, picked up the package given by the masked man, and then staggered out of the woods.
From a dark corner, a masked man came out. He looked at the rebels' retreating figures and murmured to himself.
"Let's make a fuss! The bigger the fuss, the better."
…………
There was a loud "boom" sound, and silvery white lightning flashed through the clouds.
Raindrops fell from the clouds and fell quickly to the ground.
The patter of rain became more and more intensive, and the flowers, plants and trees were beaten by the raindrops, making a noisy rustling sound.
The pavement paved with bluestones splashed with small water splashes. As the rain fell heavier and heavier, the rainwater on the ground gathered together to form a stream.
Fortunately, the city has made adequate preparations in advance to cope with the rainy season.
Nowadays, the drainage facilities in the city are very complete, and the rainwater caused by heavy rains will not pose a threat to the city at all.
The rain kept falling, and as time passed, a faint light appeared on the horizon. Although the sun could not be seen because of the dark clouds, everyone knew that it was dawn.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was lying on the bed to rest. Now he slowly opened his eyes and yawned.
"It's still raining outside!"
"I don't know how long it will rain this time."
"I originally planned to get up early and go out, but now it's raining so hard, I can only stay in the inn."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was talking to himself as he lifted the quilt covering himself and got out of bed. He came to the window, opened it and looked outside.
"Huh?"
When I heard the rain outside just now, I thought it was raining very hard. Now I opened the window, but I found that it wasn't actually raining very hard.
Compared with the last heavy rainstorm, the rain falling now should actually be regarded as light rain.
There are no vendors setting up stalls on the street, but many shops along the street are open for business.
Occasionally, some passers-by came to the street wearing raincoats and walked into some shops to buy things.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked up at the sky. The cloudy sky was not thundering very much now, and the strong wind that was when it started to rain was not very strong at this time.
After standing outside the window and observing for a long time, there was a knock on the door of the guest room.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shouted to the person knocking on the door. Soon, the waiter walked into the guest room carrying some breakfast.
"Sir, are you still going out today?"
The waiter put breakfast on the table and when he was about to leave, he asked.
Last night, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead told the waiter that he would help prepare a carriage in the morning.
But now it's raining outside. If it's raining heavily, there's no need to call for a carriage. But now that the rain is average, you can still take a carriage out, so I asked, "No need for now. I'll call you if necessary."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile. The waiter nodded, then turned and left.
The main reason why I have given up the idea of going out now is that I am worried that if it rains heavily after I go out, I will be trapped outside.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had experienced many sudden changes in weather, so he didn't want to encounter any surprises.
And there is no rush to go out for a walk. You can wait until the rain stops before going out.
"Da da da..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was finishing his breakfast when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
So he came to the window again and looked downstairs. He saw several figures on horseback running quickly on the street.
These people were wearing armor, and there were faint psychic waves spreading outward.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at these people and guessed their identities at once.
These cavalry from the city lord's palace are running fast on this rainy day, looking very anxious. It must be that something big has happened.
"What happened in broad daylight?"
"Isn't it related to the rebels last night?"
"If it is really related to the rebels, I'm afraid another fierce conflict will break out later."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead murmured to himself that if it hadn't rained now, he would definitely follow up and take a look.
Although it's not raining heavily outside now, if you follow me wearing a raincoat, you'll be easily discovered, and you'll be in trouble if you're mistaken for an accomplice.
…………
The sky was getting darker and darker, and although the wind in the city had stopped, it was raining heavily.
In the morning, the residents in the city were very happy when they saw that the rain outside was not very heavy, because this way it would not cause water accumulation and cause floods in the city.
However, as the time approached noon, the sky changed.
The dark clouds made the sky darker and darker, making it feel like it was evening and it would get dark soon.
Moreover, the relatively light rain that fell in the morning has gradually become heavier, and there is stagnant water in some low-lying areas. If soldiers were not using drainage trucks to drain the stagnant water into the river, some houses may have been flooded by the rain.
Several cavalrymen got off their horses and quickly approached a house.
This morning, they searched the area in front of them and eliminated many suspicious targets.
"It seems the information is wrong."
"Yeah, we've been looking for it for so long, but we haven't found anything at all. It's so disappointing."
"The only house in front is left. Everyone, hurry up and search. After we are done, we will go back and report to Mr. Chen."
Several cavalrymen came to the wall of the house, then jumped up and climbed over the wall.
After landing, they quickly discovered that something was wrong with this house.
It was daytime now. At this time, the residents in the house should have made some noise, but when they came inside the wall, they didn't hear any sound.
Several cavalrymen looked at each other and then approached the door of the house with serious expressions.
Passing by the small courtyard, several cavalrymen dispersed, and then one of them suddenly raised his foot and kicked the door.
The wooden door was kicked open instantly, and several cavalrymen rushed in with weapons in hand.
"Damn it, we're late."
"Search carefully to see if they have left any useful information."
After an intensive search, several cavalrymen found a letter.
According to the content of the letter, someone sent a message to remind the people here to evacuate in advance, which allowed several cavalry to escape.
"Damn it, someone actually secretly passed the message to these guys."
"You bastard who betrayed the Lord of the City, you'd better not let me catch you out, otherwise you will be unable to survive or die."
"Let's go, we have to tell the Lord the news as soon as possible."
Several cavalrymen cursed and then left the place where the rebel intelligence officers were hiding.
"Da da da..."
The rapid sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and figures on horseback disappeared at the end of the street.
Just as they disappeared, a window on the second floor of the house next door opened a crack, and a masked figure looked through the crack in the window in the direction where the cavalry disappeared.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Those cavalrymen never expected that although the rebel intelligence officers escaped, the place where they escaped was right next door.
"It's no longer safe here. Next we have to find a more secluded place to hide."
There was a buzz of discussion in the quiet room. After some discussion, the rebel intelligence officers decided to find a safer place to hide as soon as possible.
This time they were able to get the news in advance and then move because of a plan many years ago. Otherwise, they would have been caught on the spot by the cavalry of the city lord's palace just now.
In fact, the strength of the rebels who resisted the pig-headed lords was also uneven. The rebels responsible for fighting were very strong, while the rebels responsible for intelligence were only average.
Once they encounter the elite sent by the city lord's palace, these intelligence personnel will most likely suffer heavy casualties, and many of them will be captured alive.
Thanks to the undercover informant, otherwise the losses would have been very heavy this time.
…………
In the bustling inn, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was drinking tea leisurely after lunch.
It was a very wise decision for him not to go out in the morning when there was less rain.
It is pouring rain outside and the wind is howling, making it impossible for the carriage to move.
The shops that were open for business along the street are now closed, and there is not a single passerby on the road.
No, there are some passers-by still on the road, they are all trapped in place.
Not long ago, these people were shopping in the streets wearing raincoats, but the weather suddenly changed. Now they can only hide under the eaves and wait for the wind and rain to subside before going home.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead finished drinking a pot of tea and heard very dense footsteps outside.
In the morning, he saw cavalry going out and guessed that something big had happened. Now that there were so many footsteps suddenly appearing, it should be a large group of soldiers moving out.
In order to verify his idea, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the window, opened it and watched.
Just as he thought, many soldiers appeared on the street.
These soldiers are well-equipped, and their strength is not comparable to that of soldiers patrolling the streets.
"If I remember correctly, there should be many merchants living in the area in the direction where these soldiers are going. Could it be that the rebels discovered this time are disguised as merchants?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought in his mind.
