1009 Chapter [-] Ready (Part [-])
Du Yong and others chased to the cornice.

The speed was too fast, a piece of clear tile fell from the feet of a guard, and fell on the long street with a bang. In the silence of the night, there was a crisp sound.

Panting for breath, they watched the two white shadows carry each other away in the night.

Without their dexterous posture and jumping ability, they couldn't jump across this wide and long street at all.

After a cup of tea, Shen Lie brought Xia Zhaoyi to the old city of Xucheng.

In the dilapidated old city, a large area of ​​the houses collapsed, passing through a few plane trees, a black shadow emerged from the front corner: "Master."

Seeing the girl in white beside her, the black shadow said again: "Miss Ali."

Shen Lie's voice was as low as his, and asked, "Are you sure it's this?"

"confirmed."

Shen Lie nodded and looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ali, come."

The sound is clear and gentle, like the breeze at night, moistening things silently.

Xia Zhaoyi followed him into a four-story house.

The entire courtyard was silent, and in the dim line of sight, there were only two courtyard lights in the main house.

A Xiangfei bamboo curtain hung on the side door of the main house, Xia Zhaoyi followed Shen Lie and hid in a side room in the courtyard.

There was a rotten smell in the ear room, a strong musty smell, Shen Lie poked a hole in the window paper with long fingers, Xia Zhaoyi asked softly, "Where is this?"

"One of those people's rat's nests."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Shen Lie seemed to suddenly think of something, lowered his head and smiled, and looked at her: "You don't know where, so you abandoned that person and followed me."

The room was too small, the air smelled bad, the only comfortable smell came from the elegant and light fragrance of his body.

Xia Zhaoyi moved his lower lip, hesitated to speak, and finally said "um" calmly, without further words.

At this time, I saw a few people coming back from the outside in a hurry, their steps were fast, but they didn't seem impatient.

Xia Zhaoyi recognized someone at a glance, and said quietly, "It's them."

It was the two who escaped on the roof.

"How are their skills?" Shen Lie asked.

"Very good," Xia Zhaoyi said, "There were five people in total, I killed three of them, and two escaped."

After she left Sihai Teahouse, she thought that there were more than one archer at that time, so she simply went to find them one by one.

Without interrogation, one of the crossbowmen replied that a total of ten crossbowmen came this time.

This was also the only crossbowman she let go, so there were only nine corpses lying in the yamen.

Later, following the clues provided by the crossbowman, she found the five masters who were stalking on the third floor of a shop, but the other three died and two escaped.

In fact, in this battle, she was seriously injured and fought very hard. She originally wanted to ask questions, because the crossbowman knew very little.

In the end, the other party wanted to fight her endlessly, and she had no choice but to fight all the way to the roof.

Whether it is a flat ground or a steep roof, it is the same for her, but for the other party, the difference becomes obvious.

"I was the one looking for them," Xia Zhaoyi added, "It wasn't them looking for me."

As soon as the voice fell, several people appeared outside.

One of them walked impatiently.

Soon, voices sounded in the room, and the voice was slightly distinct.

It was about the occupation of the compound near the river on Liusong Road in the east of the city.

"I did it." Shen Lie whispered to Xia Zhaoyi, briefly explained the whole story of following the past, and finally said, "That Uncle Egg should be here."

As she finished speaking, she really heard the word "Uncle Egg", and one of them asked him how his injury was.

Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi held their breaths and listened intently.

Uncle Dan's voice was weak: "I was only ordered to humiliate you, but I didn't expect it to be a catastrophe."

"In the east of the city, no one survived?" one person asked.

"It's not known yet, but it should be... gone."

"This witch bewitched the Xia family's army, and now she has an army in her hands." Another said.

Uncle Dan's voice sounded again: "Let's not talk about this, I think we should disperse and leave immediately, Xu Cheng should not stay for a long time."

"It's not easy to go out of the city tonight. Xuanping Hou Shizi brought the imperial decree in the afternoon. Now the gates of the city are heavily guarded, and there are even more troops stationed outside the city. It is difficult to go to our several inns and shops right now, and if we go to other inns, we will be punished." Strictly investigate and interrogate."

"Then let's disperse, how many people can survive, after going out, everyone can choose for themselves, either go to Xizhou Mansion, or go to Yuetang Temple." One person said.

The words Yuetang Guan made Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie look at each other silently in the dark.

It didn't look like there were people in the temple, although they only went to a few hills, they didn't go all over the whole Yuetang Temple.

Now it sounds like he has some connection with them.

The rest of the people responded one after another.

Soon, several people came out first.

Xia Zhaoyi lowered his voice: "Shall we go out?"

"Ye Zheng and the others will stop him outside."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded and smiled slightly: "You've got a plan in mind."

"They want to kill you." Shen Lie said in a deep voice.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at his eyebrows and eyes in the dark, and an indescribable warmth surged up.

She smiled, calmly turned her gaze away, and looked 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 at any time, Shen Lie always made her feel at ease.

She has never felt this kind of peace of mind in other people, not even the 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 while, then suddenly said: "The name Uncle Dan is interesting."

Xia Zhaoyi was a little surprised: "You rarely comment on other things and people."

"..."

In the darkness, the deep and handsome appearance felt a little uncomfortable.

Not really, Ji Xiahe said he was bored, so he wanted to find something to talk about.

Including the white clothes that have been changed every day in the past few days but don't change colors, it was also Ji Xiahe who asked him to wear them.

Thinking of the girl in white clothes I found on Jixing Mountain, although the red dress was stained with blood, it was still visible, and the white clothes complemented her.

He also wore it.

But coincidentally, she is also dressed in white today.

"Xia's army has a veteran," Xia Zhaoyi said, "He's called Xia Xingming. Guess what other nicknames other people in the army gave him?"

"What?" Shen Lie asked.

Xia Zhaoyi laughed: "Don't kneel down to the general."

"No kneeling, General?"

"Because I don't like people kneeling on me, Uncle Xia understands me best, so whenever someone wants to kneel on me, Uncle Xia will be the first to stop. Over time, no kneeling, no kneeling, no kneeling, no kneeling, it becomes Uncle Xia's catchphrase. Then, they gave Uncle Xia the title of General Who Doesn't Kneel."

Shen Lie smiled lightly: "Interesting."

"It may be the same as this Uncle Dan. But he can be called Uncle Dan, either because he likes to throw eggs, or he likes to eat eggs, or," Xia Zhaoyi looked outside and smiled, "He has a head The hair that hasn’t been washed all year round is a chicken coop, which was used as a nest by birds and laid eggs.”

Shen Lie's smile became brighter, looking at her sly and bright eyes, he wanted to hug her more and more, and kiss her gently.
