The two people who were walking in the yard suddenly looked solemn when they heard the old woman's panicked call.
"Your royal family is going to kill you! It's so fucking fucked. Come on, we have to run away. Oops, the boss isn't back yet! Where has she gone?"
Feng Chen was so anxious that he would have wanted to go find her if it weren't for the boss's repeated warnings and never leave her.
The old woman hurriedly turned around and trotted all the way to the two of them. With an anxious look on her face, she said, "Don't wait. The officers and soldiers will come in a little later. There is a wine cellar dug by my dead old man in the backyard. You guys go in and hide."
"
As he said that, he hurriedly dragged the two of them into the house. In the backyard, next to a high-sloping straw pile nearby, the old woman pushed away the straw and opened the cover. A hole as big as the mouth of a well appeared in front of her.
"Quick, there is everything here, you can stay there for a few days without any problem." After saying that, the old woman took Feng Chen and Gong Yun'ao slowly down the escalator to the cellar.
The cellar is about three meters deep, four meters long, and two meters wide. The upper entrance is narrower, and the lower space is larger, like a three-dimensional trapezoid.
"Don't go out. The old man will deal with it at the door first. When they are gone, you can come out again." The old woman explained hurriedly.
Going down to the cellar, Gong Yun'ao didn't expect that the cellar was quite big. There was a square table, an oil lamp, and a bed.
Feng Chen couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Auntie, are you still sleeping here?" It looked like a refuge.
The old woman put her feet on the wooden ladder, opened a gap in the wooden plank covering the cellar, covered the cover with straw, and said, "My old man slept there. He said the cellar is cool."
"I'm going to sleep underground? Only the dead sleep underground, right?" Feng Chen blurted out, speaking without any scruples, which made the old woman glare at her, "Young man, what are you talking about?"
Gong Yunao saw that his aunt was a little angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "Auntie, I'm sorry, my friend doesn't mean any harm. He is just a child, and his words are unbridled."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door, "Bang, bang, bang..."
"Open the door, open the door, the officials are investigating the case..." There was a banging on the door, which made the old man tremble all over.
The old man opened the courtyard door tremblingly, and the officers and soldiers rushed in.
"My lord, the common people are scared, sir, is there anything wrong?" the old man asked, bending his body.
The leading officer and soldier, with a big beard on his face, took out the portrait from his arms and asked sharply: "Look carefully, have you seen the fugitive in the painting?"
The old man stepped forward and stared at the person in the portrait for a long time with his cloudy eyes.
"Do you see clearly?" The bearded man was a little impatient. It was almost sticking to his face and he couldn't see it yet?
"The grass-roots people are dim-sighted and need to look carefully." The old man pondered for a while and then continued: "My lord, the grass-roots people didn't see it."
The bearded man looked around and saw a strong smell of medicine. He frowned and asked with disgust: "What does it smell like?"
The old man was startled, but he calmed down immediately and said hurriedly: "It's the common people who are not in good health. They are making soup to recuperate their bodies. The smell is a bit pungent. Don't blame me, sir."
The bearded man waved his hand and said to his men: "Go and search."
"Yes." The officers and soldiers spread out and searched...
The old man felt uneasy. He lowered his head and followed the officers and soldiers wherever they went. He would not be found!
"Report..."
At this time, a thin monkey officer and soldier found a package of medicine from the kitchen, "Sir, I have an uncle who knows medicine at home. He has been exposed to it since he was a child. This medicine is not for regulating the body. It is medicine for knife wounds. Sir
, this thug is lying, there must be something wrong with it."
After hearing this, the bearded tiger's eyes widened and he kicked the old man to the ground, "Didn't you mean the medicine to regulate the body? How could it be the medicine for knife wounds? There are so many medicines for knife wounds. It looks like the injury is very serious.
Why don’t you recruit them quickly?”
The old man lay on the ground, holding his stomach, feeling unbearable pain, and said tremblingly: "Grassmen... often go hunting in the mountains, and injuries are common!"
"Who are you lying to?" Hearing this, the thin monkey took out the sword from his waist, placed it on the old man's neck, and threatened: "Be honest, or I will chop off your dog's head."
Although the old man was scared, he still had backbone. He said angrily: "Is there any more law for the king? You officers and soldiers searched my house and even beat people."
"I am the King of Laws." Seeing the old man's stubbornness, the bearded man became furious and kicked the old man in the chest again.
The old woman hiding in the cellar followed the gap in the cover and was shocked when she heard the sounds of fighting and the old man's painful moans in the yard.
That was the old man's voice... Could it be that he had been beaten? Just as she was about to rush out anxiously, she was stopped by Feng Chen.
"Let me out..." The old woman was so anxious that she almost cried. She kicked and beat Feng Chen who was blocking her with her hands and feet.
"Auntie, if we go out at this time, we will all die!" Feng Chen didn't want the old man to be beaten and sacrificed for himself, but at this point, if he went out, not only would he not be able to save the old man, but he would also involve the couple in death.
Gong Yun'ao felt extremely guilty. How could he sacrifice others for his own life? He couldn't do it! "Auntie, you don't have to go out. I'm going out. As long as they catch me, they might let you go."
"Don't be stupid. If you go out, they will die faster. Harboring criminals. Doesn't the prince know that this is a felony?" Although Feng Chen didn't understand the law here, he knew that if it were a modern crime, it would be an extra level.
Besides, it was too easy to kill someone in ancient times.
At this time, the officers and soldiers yelled again outside the door: "You old man, are all these stab wound medicines for fugitives? It is a capital crime to harbor a fugitive." They remembered that the prince was seriously injured and could not escape.
Far, there must be something wrong with these knife wound medicines.
The old man supported his body with both hands and tried to stand up. "Bang!" There was a heavy muffled sound and the old man fell down again.
"Old man, you have a tough mouth. Let's see how long you can keep it up. Give me a good beating." The bearded man pointed at the old man on the ground and viciously ordered the thin monkey to punch and kick him.
"puff……"
The old man spurted out a mouthful of blood, splashing all over the officers and soldiers, and the beating became more fierce.
The old man held his head, curled up, endured the severe pain in his body, and cursed angrily: "Is there any justice? The officers and soldiers beat people..."
"call out……"
"call out……"
"call out……"
Suddenly, three piercing sounds passed through the air, and three cold flying knives penetrated directly into the vests of Shouhou and other officers and soldiers, killing them instantly.
The three officers and soldiers were caught off guard and died in front of Big Beard. Suddenly, Big Beard became furious and his eyes widened. He shouted loudly: "Who is it? Come out and dare to plot against the officers and soldiers. You are impatient to live."
"It's your aunt and I." As the woman's sharp voice came, the bearded officers and soldiers immediately became alert, each holding a spear and waiting seriously.
The bearded man was furious. He pointed the big knife in his hand at the woman who suddenly appeared on the roof and said angrily: "You bitch, was it you who did it just now?"
On the roof, a woman stood tall and straight, with long black hair tied up high, and the corners of her clothes swayed gently in the wind, so beautiful.
The woman's eyes were piercing, and she asked sternly: "It's your aunt and me, you people who are fed by the imperial court. The imperial court raised you just to bully the common people? What kind of officers and soldiers are you?"
The bearded man blew his beard and glared, with a sinister look on his face, and shouted: "You bastard, you dare to insult the imperial official. I think you are a traitor. Take her down for me and go back to collect the reward."
"Yes." All the officers and soldiers were emboldened. What should I fear from a little lady? Let's see if I don't capture her.
The woman sneered, jumped up, landed on the ground, and charged into the encirclement with a sword in her hand.
The woman's sword energy was so powerful that she killed the officers and soldiers, who fell to the ground and died. The bearded man never dared to step forward. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran out the door. He jumped on his horse and fled.
The woman noticed that the bearded man was about to run away, and suddenly took action. With a "swish" sound, a flying knife appeared out of thin air and flew towards the bearded man with a fierce momentum.
"Ah!" The bearded man screamed and fell on the horse. The horse neighed and disappeared from sight.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers were unable to fight back and fell to the ground one after another dead.
At this time, the fighting outside the door suddenly stopped and there was no sound. Feng Chen poked his head out of the cellar...
"The boss is back..." Feng Chen exclaimed and ran out of the cellar first. When he saw Shu Yao standing alive in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise: "Boss, where have you gone? It's too dangerous.
, if you come back later, all of us will have to answer."
"Aren't you alive and kicking?! The old man is injured now." Shu Yao walked over Feng Chen and walked straight to the old man to check the injury.
Gong Yun'ao followed closely behind, and when he saw the old man lying on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask about his injury, "Old man! How are you?"
The old man who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face looked distressed in the old woman's eyes, and she kept shedding tears, "Old man..."
Gong Yun'ao helped the old man up and said remorsefully: "Old man, it's me who can't help you, and I've caused you trouble!"
"Ahem..." The old man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He coughed slightly and gasped: "Your Highness, please don't say that. You were wronged. I believe in you and can do something for His Highness.
The people are happy!"
The plague of witchcraft has caused a storm in the city, and the people have different opinions about the prince's rebellion.
The emperor's handling of the prince made the people more aware of the royal family's ruthlessness.
"Old man." Gong Yun'ao's eyes were slightly red because of emotion. Compared with the family affection in the palace, the warmth of the people is more precious.
At this time, Feng Chen interrupted at the right time, "Now is not the time to be moved. We have to run away quickly. Maybe the officers and soldiers will come again. When the time comes, boss, can you still give one for a hundred?"
"How many bullets and grenades do we have?" Shu Yao turned around and asked Feng Chen.
Feng Chen shook his head and said helplessly: "It's not much to begin with! In order to save the prince, there is not much left. There are still many killers behind us. The officers and soldiers are waiting for us, so we must use them on the edge of the sword."
"Okay, I get it."
Later, Shu Yao gave the two old men a bag of silver and asked them to leave here as soon as possible and as far away as possible to avoid being implicated.
