The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 727 Evacuation

Judging by the standards of Eastern China, the Kingdom of Tahaka is really a small country, but no matter how small the country is, Heti used to be a princess.Not to mention that everyone in the whole country knows her, at least there are quite a few people who know her in the royal capital Huiji City.

That's why she didn't hesitate to wrap herself into a mud monkey.

So it was normal for the strong man to know Hetty, but the problem was that Hetty didn't know him at all.

"You just said that he went to assassinate Lawrence. Does he have any personal grievances with Lawrence?"

"I don't know, I saw him coming out of the secret passage."

"Secret passages……"

Hetty thought for a while:
"Other than the royal family, there are only a handful of confidantes who know the secret way, but they should all be purged by Lawrence... Could it be that he is from Shishiliu?"

"Lion flow?"

Just now I saw that the trick used by this strong man is indeed something like a lion's battle roar. It's just a slap and a roar, which is more or less like an outbreak of the second disease...

Lin Tianci was about to ask more about Shishiliu's situation, then moved his ears, signaled Hetty to stop talking, and quietly went to the window to look around.

A group of soldiers holding torches appeared at the front of the street, and a man in the lead who looked like an officer pointed at the street, as if he was directing people to block and search.

Lawrence probably already guessed that someone wanted to assassinate him, so he simply set up an ambush. At the same time, he also made two-handed preparations. If the ambush didn't work, he could close the door and beat the dog.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the soldiers searched so quickly.

At this time, Hetty had already bandaged the wounds on the back of the strong man. The girl had done a good job as a nurse during the few days she had been with Lin Tianci.

"It's not safe here anymore, take him and let's go through the back door, first find a way to get out of the city and find a safe place."

The soldiers would definitely search from house to house, even if Lin Tianci's appearance was not exposed, they would hide the strong man, but Hetty couldn't hide it.

The nearby residents all know that Brother Lin has a female assistant, and the soldiers will definitely reveal it when they ask.

After struggling to put the strong man on the stretcher, Hetty opened the small door in the backyard, and the two carried him into the street.

The alley by the back door has not yet been surrounded by soldiers, but this is only temporary, Lin Tianci can already hear the sound of iron boots running neatly.

He identified the direction, and decided to walk west along the box, instead of entering the main road, and only shuttled in the alleys.

Lin Tianci has been working as a doctor these days to save patients, and he really doesn't have a chance to go around the city, so he is obviously not very familiar with the route. Several times, he can hear the voices of soldiers in the next block or even behind his buttocks. thrilling.

Fortunately, although they were not familiar with each other, they were lucky. They carried the stretcher for nearly a kilometer without being noticed by the soldiers.

It's just that this situation can't last for too long. The soldiers searched more points, and then tightened the encirclement. The more they ran, the smaller the area that Lin Tianci and the others could move, or they would be besieged.

It was easy for Lin Tianci to run if he wanted to. He started with the strength of the wind. As long as he couldn't fly, it was impossible for him to catch up with him.

But other people can't, Brother Lin must think of a way to escape with others.

Asking Heti to put down the strong man, Lin Tianci jumped onto the eaves to investigate the surroundings. The soldiers closest to them were about two streets away. This is good news.

But the bad news is that the other side of the city wall should have also received orders.

Now large fires are lit on the city wall, and mirrors are used to reflect the firelight to scan the city like a searchlight. With the city wall more than ten meters high and soldiers guarding each other, it is obviously impossible to go out from the city wall.

If the city wall was the same as usual, Lin Tianci could still put the Gecko Walking Wall Talisman on Hetty, and the two of them quietly led the strong man to climb out, it would definitely be useless now.

It's right to think about it, since Lawrence set up an ambush to close the door and beat the dog, how could he not watch the 'door' more closely?

After receiving the bad news, Hetty remained expressionless, as if she wasn't the one being hunted down.

After all, he is someone who has been hiding from XZ in the city for several months, this is not enough to make her panic.

"You can try to hide in the sewer. I hid in it for a few months. As long as I can get used to the smell, it's safe."

This is indeed a solution, Brother Lin pondered for a while.

Just do what Hetty says.

The two lifted the stretcher again, walked through the alley, and found an entrance to the sewer.

Lin Tianci removed the manhole cover and threw the strong man down first. Anyway, he has rough skin and thick flesh, so he should not be killed at this height.

After Hetty went down, Lin Tianci moved the manhole cover back to its original position.

Lin Tianci activated the dancing light technique, and with the most basic lighting, he could see the things below clearly.

——Although it feels better not to watch it.

Of course, the smell inside is quite powerful, but it's not unbearable, and the sewer is unexpectedly wide.

Because in a large city like Gray Ridge City, residents discharge a huge amount of domestic sewage every day. In addition, for the convenience of maintenance, there are long and thin corridors on both sides of the sewer for walking through. Be careful not to step on anything. Be careful not to slip your feet because of the dirt, because not far away is a river with all kinds of garbage and feces floating...

"Don't soldiers know how to search sewers?"

"Yes, but it's more complicated down here, there are more places to hide, at least it can be delayed for a while."

So the security is only temporary. If the soldiers are determined to search, it will only be a matter of time before they are found.

Don't look at Hetty hiding in the sewer for several months, it's just a matter of luck, and you can't pin all your hopes on this aspect.

Walking along the corridor, Lin Tianci thought about it and asked:
"Where is the exit of the sewer?"

"I haven't seen the exit yet, but I heard that the water from the sewer will flow to the back of the city, where there is a cave leading underground."

You are really talented to discharge sewage directly into the underground water vein...

But when it comes to water, Lin Tianci thought of a way out.

Gray Ridge City is built under the Gray Ridge Mountain Range, with its back against the mountain.

A river from the Greyridge Mountains forked here and became two tributaries, one going east and one going south.

Gray Ridge City was built on the fork of the tributaries, because they are all big rivers, so the waterway transportation is relatively convenient.

The most important thing is that the waterway is not blocked by a city wall. They can try to steal a boat, or simply swim across it. With the effect of the Water Avoidance Talisman, even if they can't swim, they won't be drowned.

The only problem is that there must be a large number of soldiers searching for the handle at the port, so it is still necessary to take a certain risk.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub. Of course, sneaking into the port to steal a ship is a very risky thing, but it is also feasible.

Compared with the no chance of winning by walking the city wall and the slow death waiting in the sewer, fighting in the dark may really have a chance of escaping.

Hetty hid in the sewers of Gray Ridge City for several months. The high-ranking princess used to live on garbage and leftovers, so she is quite familiar with the routes inside.

The main reason is that there are often fishermen throwing away catches at the port that cannot be sold at a price. When she was hiding and wandering, the port was a pretty good place to forage.

——It sounds really miserable.

So Hetty also has some experience on how to get from the sewer to the port.

I don't know what order Lawrence gave, but the soldiers in the city were very attentive to the search. When the two of them carried the stretcher and walked in the sewer, they could even hear the continuous footsteps of iron boots on the street above their heads.

After walking around in the smelly sewer for almost half an hour, Lin Tianci quietly opened the manhole cover.

The first thing that broke into his nostrils was a fishy smell that could overwhelm a person, but compared with the smell in the sewer, it was already good. He opened his eyes and looked around, and found no one around. Open the well cover completely, reach out and drag the strong man and Hetty up from the sewer.Especially the former, that is called a sinking.

The place where they came out should be near the warehouse. You can see rows of tall areas surrounded by iron sheets. Through the gaps, you can see many wooden boxes inside.

Lin Tianci quietly walked to the edge of the warehouse, and just poked his head out to look outside the main entrance of the warehouse, and saw a group of soldiers running forward holding torches.I'm afraid the soldiers still have magic items to break the invisibility, so it's better not to use the invisibility talisman alone.

Sure enough, it was not so easy to pass through the port.

Lin Tianci turned back and transported mana to the back door of the warehouse.

He only heard a click, and the brass lock bolt was shattered by his dark force, and then he gently pushed the door in.

This warehouse is still very simple, just build a skeleton with wood, and then surround it with iron sheets, with a layer of iron sheets on it as a roof to protect against wind and rain.

The goods are not too much, because Gray Ridge City has been in turmoil for the past few months, and the port has not received merchant ships for a long time.

Lin Tianci and Heidi came in with a stretcher. He planned to put Heidi and the strong man here first, and then went out to investigate carefully to see if there were any defensive loopholes to exploit.

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps at the main entrance of the warehouse. It sounded like one or two people talking.

"Why do you ask us to check the warehouse in the middle of the night? There is nothing in the warehouse except wooden boxes."

"I heard that an assassin came to the city, and the soldiers are all crazy. Don't ask nonsense, hurry up and work. You check No. [-], and I'll go to another warehouse."

Lin Tianci hurriedly opened the big wooden box next to it. The box full of straw didn't know what it had once contained, but it was empty now, enough to stuff Hetty and the strong man into it.

As for Brother Lin himself, he jumped onto the beam and squatted there lightly.

As soon as everyone hid, they heard the sound of keys turning the lock from the warehouse door, and then the opened door projected light in, and a figure holding a torch walked in.

He just walked in and walked around casually, and didn't open the wooden box to search for it. Obviously, he was not very active in helping the soldiers, and planned to take a look and leave.

But he didn't know if it was because of his sixth sense or what, he raised his head without looking straight.

Lin Tianci thought he was going out, but he didn't have time to hide, so he was caught.

"Is there any movement over there?"

"No."

He glanced at Brother Lin on the beam and said:

"There's nothing, it's as quiet as a cemetery."

Then he shook his still-bandaged arm, and shouted as he walked out:
"By the way, when did you say that old Jim's fishing boat parked by the big willow tree will be taken away?"

"Ah? Fishing boat? Who cares about that? Didn't Old Jim's family move away?"

Cursing came from the other side:
"This hellish world, if I have money, I want to take my wife and children and leave quickly."

I can't hear it anymore, because the warehouse door has been closed, but it seems that I forgot to lock it...
