Chapter 111: Let's go down the alley
Brick wasn't at all happy with the suggestion of falling leaves.
First of all, from the point of view of helping, Brick doesn't think that one more fallen leaves fly, they can really find the person they want to find in the city lord's mansion in Iwaike City, he is not a person search machine, just give him a name or something, he has the ability to locate people immediately, right? Instead of looking for fallen leaves to follow, it is better for him to directly find the old man Qingmi and bring one more guard from Qingcheng
Thinking of this, Brick glanced at Falling Leaves, shook his head at him, and then said, "Falling Leaves Adventurer, I don't need you to follow me when I go to the City Lord's Mansion...... You and Uncle Qingmi will go after those black-clothed people with Yemi, Yemi, and the city lord. Personally, I think that if you really catch up with those men in black, maybe you adventurers will be of more use......"
"It's okay, it's okay, there's anyone else, I'd better follow you!" said Falling Leaves, looking at Brick a little unwillingly. Since the NPCs are divided into two teams, why do they all have to choose one team to follow? If this misses something, isn't it very depressing? So, Falling Leaves thinks very clearly, no matter what, he must follow Brick
What if Brick found Ji Xiaoyan in the City Lord's Mansion of Panchi City?
Don't blame him for being dark in his heart and maliciously guessing something! Since Brick was so insistent on going to the City Lord's Mansion in Iwachi City to find Ji Xiaoyan, then it wasn't necessarily possible that Ji Xiaoyan was really where he was! Otherwise, the Night City Lord and the City Lord had both said that Ji Xiaoyan might have been captured by the man in black, so why didn't Brick believe it? He must have a reason not to believe it!
It's just that after listening to the words of the falling leaves, Brick suddenly frowned, looked at him a few times unhappily, and then said impatiently: "The falling leaves are flying, I said everything." You don't need to follow! Don't persuade me anywhere. I won't take you with me......" After speaking, Brick turned his head to look in the direction of the old man Qingmi, and saw that he was looking in his direction with a puzzled expression, and then hurriedly said, "Uncle Qingmi." You watch the leaves fly a little...... He's got to follow me!"
"No problem! You can rest assured!Lao Tzu must be optimistic about him!" The old man heard Brick's words. Suddenly squinted his eyes, glanced at the fallen leaves, and assured him.
Thereupon. Brick was relieved.
The strangers next to them looked at Brick with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Falling Leaves, wondering what he and Brick were muttering in those few minutes, making Brick seem to be disgusted with him!
Falling Leaves pursed his lips and glanced in Brick's direction again, before he said to the glow-in-the-dark wine, "Looks like I said the wrong thing......."
"What are you talking about?" continued Luminous Wine.
"It's nothing....... probably I didn't notice it......" Falling Leaves didn't want to say anything more, slightly lowered his eyes to the luminous wine and said perfunctory, then reached out and pushed him in the direction of the player's team, and said to him: "Let's go, let's go back over there and stand and wait for news......!"
The glow-in-the-dark wine fox glanced suspiciously at the old man Qingmi, and then looked at the fallen leaves, and saw that his face was not very good, so after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and followed him to the player's team.
Soon, the guards sent out by the city lord came back to report that some residents had seen the whereabouts of those black people, so the city lord immediately turned to the old man Qingmi and Lord Besa and said, "City Lord Besa, Elder Qingmi, let's go now?"
Mistress Bessa nodded without any opinion, he had come alone anyway, so he didn't need to ask anyone's opinion.
As for the old man Qingmi, he glanced at Brick, and after seeing that he nodded very implicitly at him, he said to the city lord: "Since there is already news, let's leave now...... If something really happened to Xiao Yan girl in your Panchi City, I Qingmi would not give up! Regardless of whether those black-clothed people were from the fox clan as the city lord of Besa guessed, it was always something that happened in your Panchi City, and Lao Tzu would not let you just say a few words to cover up the past......
"You don't have to worry about this, Qingmi!" said to the old man with a sneer, but he was not worried at all. Where is Miss Ji Xiaoyan at this time, he knows very well in his heart. As long as he didn't pass the word back, the guards in the City Lord's Mansion could only let Ji Xiaoyan and them wander around, and it was absolutely impossible to let her out of the City Lord's Mansion in Iwachi City. Therefore, Ji Xiaoyan can only see him now in the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for them to go back safely
"Then let's go" The city lord shouted, glanced at the night lord twice, and directly turned around and let his guards lead the way, and tracked directly in the direction where the man in black left.
And Brick stood in place, silently watching all the people and fallen leaves, all of them were escorted by the old man Qingmi and the guards of Qingcheng, and after leaving with the city lords, he turned around and ran back directly in the direction he came.
It's just that as soon as he walked outside the City Lord's Mansion, Brick saw several guards of the City Lord's Mansion of Iwaike City rushing out in a hurry, and when he saw Brick and his party, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he stopped Brick and asked him, "Guests of Qingcheng...... There's something I'd like to ask you......."
Brick stopped and looked at the guards several times with a puzzled expression, and only after half a sound did he speak, "You are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, what do you want to ask?"
"Guests of Qingcheng. May I ask, in which direction did our lord go? We remember that when you left the castle lord's mansion, it was Lord Yeshi who left with you......" The guards of the castle lord's mansion of Iwaike Castle looked at Brick and them with a look of anticipation, and said politely, "Did Lord Yeshi Castle meet Lord Yashi and Lord Tsuyoshi now?"
Brick looked at the guards with some confusion, not knowing whether they were the people of the Night Castle Lord or the Gang City Lord, and after thinking about it, he said, "The Castle Lord is now chasing some black-clothed people who have broken into Iwachi City together with the Night Castle Lord...... Are you looking for them in a hurry? We just came back, and they are heading northwest, so you can go over and have a look......
The guards of the Iwaike Castle Lord's Mansion looked in the direction Brick was pointing at them. Several people looked at each other a few times and muttered a few words in a low voice. Then he turned to Brick and thanked him, and then he was ready to chase after him.
It's just that Brick hurriedly grabbed a sentence and asked, "By the way, everyone." I'd also like to ask you something. ”
"Guests of Qingcheng. You say!" a few of the guards nodded. There was a feeling of reciprocal courtesy, and he said to Brick.
"I want to ask when did our City Lord of Qingcheng leave the City Lord's Mansion. You know what?" Brick asked, considering his words, to the guards. He wanted to ask if Ji Xiaoyan was in the City Lord's Mansion, but after thinking about it, if people didn't want to say it, they just said that she wasn't there, and then they said that they were going to chase the Night City Lord and the City Lord, and left directly?
After listening to Brick's words, several guards just glanced at him with some doubts, and then said directly: "Hasn't your city lord of Qingcheng always been in our city lord's mansion......? Not long ago, there was a maid who said, "Your lord said that he was tired, so he went back to the house to rest......"
"Really, that's great! Thank you!" Brick's face was full of surprise, and he sincerely thanked the guards twice, and after seeing them leave, he immediately said to the guards of Qingcheng who followed behind him, "Sure enough, the Lord of the Night City deceived us...... Xiao Yan is really in the City Lord's Mansion! I'll just say, the Night City Lord didn't get his belly pocket, how could he easily let Xiao Yan go? Hurry up, which of you immediately go back to Elder Qingmi, tell him about this, and let him come back immediately...... By the way, if you can, remember to ask Elder Aoya to also tell the Besa City Lord by the way! As long as we have the help of the Besa City Lord, it will definitely be easier for us to leave Iwachi Castle ......"
The guards of the Qingcheng City Lord's Mansion hurriedly nodded in response, and directly arranged for two guards to chase in the direction where the guards of Iwachi City had left. And Brick took the rest of the Qingcheng guards into the City Lord's Mansion in Panchi City, and ran directly to the house that the City Lord arranged for Ji Xiaoyan and them? It's just that Ji Xiaoyan and Chief Qinggong at this time are no longer in the City Lord's Mansion in Panchi City.
Climbing over the stinger, devil's vine, and the wall went well. Ji Xiaoyan waited for the poisonous effect of the stinger devil vine to pass, so they directly seized the time to climb over the wall, fortunately, although the wall of the city lord's mansion of Iwachi City was high, they could climb the vines intertwined with the stinger devil vine, as if they were given a new plant escalator, everyone helped each other, and soon crossed the wall of the city lord's mansion of Iwachi City, and jumped directly outside the city lord's mansion from above
"Are we safe?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Chief Qing Gong with a look of surprise and asked in a low voice of excitement.
"City Lord, I'm afraid it's not good that you're so optimistic!" Chief Qing Gong couldn't help but sigh, and said to Ji Xiaoyan with a hint of joy on his face: "We are just escaping from the City Lord's Mansion in Panchi City now, and there is still a long road behind." We still need to avoid the search of the night city lord and the city lord, and then wait until the city gate opens tomorrow morning, and find a way to sneak out of the city... After that, someone has to teleport us away, and that's really safe. We're just the first step now... If we don't get out of the city tomorrow, we'll have a lot of hard times in the future... Not to mention, it's back to Qingcheng! It would be perfect if we brought a teleporter with us when we first came to Iwaike Castle!"
When Ji Xiaoyan heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. Yes, if there is a teleporter in their team, then what are they afraid of being discovered?
But now, hey!
"Lord of the Castle...... Did I just splash cold water on you?" Chief Qing Gong reacted, and suddenly looked at Ji Xiaoyan with some uneasiness and asked cautiously.
"Hmm!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded unequivocally, and then sighed: "However, Chief Qinggong, what you said is the truth, but I was happy too early You are right, I shouldn't be happy too early now, I have to be happy, and I will be happy until I return to Qingcheng......."
When Mr. Qing Gong heard this, he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more. In case he accidentally loses the confidence of their city lord Ji Xiaoyan, how can he leave Iwachi City when he turns around?
Ji Xiaoyan didn't notice what Chief Qing Gong's expression was at the moment, he looked around directly, and then said to Chief Qing Gong: "It's better for us to go that way now? The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is in that direction? Chief Qing Gong, do you remember? Why can't I tell the difference.......
Manager Qing Gong planned silently in his heart, and after verifying it again, he pointed in one direction and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "It seems to be over there...... Lord Castle, we just need to avoid the direction of the gate of the Castle Lord's Mansion, don't go that way...... Hey, if we can know which direction the Night Castle Lord is going, then it would be better to go......"
"You're talking nonsense! If we can know, how else do we need to be frightened?" Ji Xiaoyan glanced at Chief Qing Gong, then pointed to an alley that ran in the opposite direction from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and asked Chief Qing Gong: "Then let's go in that direction, Chief Qing Gong, what do you think?" I think, we only need to drill into the alley, and it is estimated that the possibility of meeting the City Lord of the Night will be much smaller!" People like the Night City Lord, if they want to go, they should also take the big road, and they won't drill into the alleys without anything, right......?"
