The street seemed to fall into darkness for a moment.
Miss Jun couldn't see anything when she was stuck in the corner. She could only hear the collision of weapons outside, accompanied by the muffled sound of weapons entering flesh.
But there were no screams of pain at all, as if no one was desperately fighting with swords.
These visitors are not ordinary either.
Miss Jun thought.
Do you want to help?
But just as the thought came up, the sounds outside suddenly stopped.
it's over?
"Go quickly, go quickly," the bearded man said.
The three men crowded behind the stove in the stall stood up tremblingly and looked at the six men lying on the ground.
Some were motionless, others were struggling to get up, and then low moans could be heard in the dark street.
"Is it worth the money spent?"
When the three people looked at it with fear, the bearded man's voice said.
The three men forced a smile.
"It's worth it, it's worth it." They said in unison.
The bearded man waved to them.
Only then did the three men move out.
A man on the ground suddenly stood up holding a knife, and the three men screamed in fright.
The man staggered, holding his body with a knife and barely managed to keep from falling.
The bearded man continued to wave to the three men indifferently and led them forward himself.
"Do you think you can run away?" the man said in a hoarse voice.
The three men were startled, and the bearded man also looked like he was startled.
"Ha." he said, "you recognize me?"
The man seemed speechless by these words and just looked at him.
The bearded man waved his hand.
"Okay, it's my business whether I can run away, and it's your business whether you can catch me. Let us all worry about our own business," he said.
"Kill us if you can." The man sneered and shouted, pointing the knife at the people on the ground.
Didn't these people kill them?
The three men couldn't help but look to the ground.
It was too dark to see clearly in the dark night, but I heard the bearded man chuckle.
"If you want to die in my hands, you will have to spend money. If you haven't paid, you are not worthy of my taking action." He said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
After saying that, he ignored them and walked away.
The three men also hurriedly followed. Although they had not yet recovered from the shock, they had some ideas in their minds.
"Ninth Young Master." The short, fat man quickly followed him, "Do you know them?"
The bearded man didn't even turn his head and said nothing, and he didn't know whether he knew him or not.
The other man also came to his senses.
"Ninth Young Master, these people are not here for us, but for you, right?" he said.
The bearded man glanced at them.
"What?" he said, "What difference does it make?"
the difference?
The difference is huge!
"You, because we caused it, you help us solve the problem..." The short and fat man also came back to his senses and said, his eyes fell on the bearded man's chest.
There were several banknotes stuffed there.
Collect their money.
The bearded man clicked his tongue.
"What's going on? Isn't the money I collected wrong?" he said, "What's wrong with these people coming after me? Aren't you coming after me too? You came after me, didn't you get involved yourself? Could it be me?
Did they force you to come?"
He asked repeatedly, causing the three people who had just experienced the fright to be confused.
It seems so.
"What happened to me taking your money? Have you seen how powerful I am?" The bearded man raised his eyebrows and said, "I am so powerful. If it weren't for taking your money, would I be guilty of fighting them? I would have left a long time ago.
Now, I'm leaving, what about you? Can you escape from them?"
The three men shook their heads.
Really can't.
"Isn't it over now?" the bearded man said, glaring at them and shaking his head, "Then why don't you run away! These people are like locusts, and they will be in large numbers when they arrive. When their people come, you can give me thousands of dollars."
I can’t solve your problems with household items.”
The three men seemed to understand but didn't seem to understand. They didn't want to run away when he shouted. They subconsciously quickened their pace, ran in three directions, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The street immediately became lively, and it was not just this street that was lively. Soon it seemed that the whole city was in commotion.
But these excitements are always left behind.
Miss Jun looked at the figure walking swiftly through the streets and alleys in front of her, and once again admired that someone who can fight and escape is what Master calls a hero.
After several rounds of detours, the city gate arrived in front of us.
The city gate was still open, but there were already many patrols standing in front of the city gate. They looked a little nervous under the bright torches. It was obvious that they had received some news.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to get out of the city.
Miss Jun was thinking in her mind, and then the thought flashed through her mind, but she saw the figure in front of her rushing towards the city gate without stopping.
"What are you still doing here? Weren't we asking you to search the city?" he shouted loudly.
Seeing a person suddenly rushing out, the patrolmen were startled. Just as they were about to scold them, the bearded man had already raised his badge in his hand.
"Move quickly, but don't make a big show of it." He said solemnly, "Dong Cheng has many close friends and old generals in Beijing. If they know that Duke Cheng's crown prince is coming, they will definitely stop the arrest."
When the city patrols saw the badge and heard these words, their expressions were relaxed and enlightened.
"It turns out that the prince Chengguo has been arrested." The leader of the city patrol said, "No wonder the higher-ups only said that martial law was required, but did not say who it was, so should we close the city gate?"
They were talking and the man came towards the bearded man.
"There is no need to lock him up. Since the prince has entered the capital, he will definitely not dare to come out. There are people in the city to protect him." The bearded man said.
Indeed, since his whereabouts are leaked when he comes to the capital, hiding in the city is the safest. The high-ranking officials hiding in the city cannot be found for a while, but if he leaves the city, his whereabouts will be exposed without any obstruction.
After all, there is no way to escape from the capital city and return to the north of the town for half a day.
"What else, sir..." said the city patrols.
Before they finished speaking, they saw the bearded man walking in front of them violently chopping his hands. Several city patrols were caught off guard and fell down with screams. There was chaos in front of the city gate.
"Close the city gate!"
There were shouts, but the bearded man had already seized the horse, and the knife in his hand swung a cold light to kill a path.
"Close the city gate, you idiots." He laughed and walked through the city gate like lightning, leaving behind his lingering laughter.
The city patrols immediately mounted their horses, only to see a herd of cattle, sheep and pigs rushing in screaming outside the city gate.
It turned out that the bearded man opened the sheep and horse wall under the city gate, and all the livestock that had been locked up waiting to be sold ran out.
This caused the people patrolling the city who were chasing after them to be attacked. The soldiers guarding the city were also busy driving away the animals, and the city gate fell into even greater chaos.
"Abba, daddy, the sheep have run away. The sheep have run away."
A girl's scream was also heard in the chaos. The soldiers patrolling the city in front of the city heard the sound and took a look, and saw a girl thrown in a panic among the cattle, sheep and pigs.
And more people came outside the city gate.
These were all people who came to sell livestock. They were sleeping soundly in the hay shed outside the cattle and horse wall, but they must have been awakened by this movement.
The patrolmen scolded these people to deal with the stray animals quickly, and did not notice that the girl who called "Daddy" did not come in again.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the stench of cattle, sheep and livestock had dissipated. Miss Jun sniffed hard and felt a faint aroma.
This is the medicinal powder she carries with her. It is mainly used for self-defense, but it can also be used for tracking because of its unique and difficult-to-detect smell.
When Zhu Zan was fighting with people in the city, she took the opportunity to throw it on the street, and Zhu Zan stepped on it while he was running.
but…
Miss Jun looked ahead. The night was as dark as the bottom of a pot. This was the darkest time before dawn, but this did not prevent her from identifying the direction.
This direction is not north, but south, and it is not even far from the capital at all.
He still didn't run away. Could it be that the safest place is to follow the most dangerous place?
Miss Jun seemed to have noticed the sound of horse hooves from the pursuers behind her.
Her eyes fell on the figure that gradually appeared in front of her. He was still on foot. It was probably when he was leaving the city to dismantle the cattle and sheep wall that the horse was driven away by him.
Where is he going?
