Chapter 192: Escape
The so-called security is never something you can get by being careful, because sometimes, even if you don't get into trouble, trouble will automatically come to you, so staying in the inn is not necessarily safe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As an official dependent, I lived in the east wing of the post station. It's close to the corner gate, so it's easy to escape in case of an emergency. Xin Cheng arranged a lot of people to protect me secretly. This small post house was filled with people all at once, and it was crowded a lot.
The post men and post guards who were busy receiving were so tired that they were sweating profusely, and they probably were still wondering why so many officials and dependents came all at once.
Xin Cheng was still busy running outside, and he would be seen again after leaving. It is no wonder that today is the middle of the month, and the competition between various forces will reach a climax tonight. Xin Cheng naturally wants to prepare for the war with all his might.
Fortunately, during the day, I was able to walk around the inn and look at the scenery in the small garden. It's not new, but it's not too boring.
After nightfall, there is no such freedom. Xin Cheng's people were waiting for each other and were guarding outside. Brother Zhu, who was the leader, told me not to come out of the room as much as possible, and if there was something to knock on the door, someone would naturally respond.
I'm not going to ask for trouble because my life is long. After bolting the door, I took a bath behind the screen, and I fell asleep in a daze as soon as I was steamed by the warm steam.
The lights suddenly swayed violently. I shuddered and woke up. I don't know how much time has passed this time.
The water was already cold, and I hurried out of the barrel. It's quiet, and the sound of water coming out of the water makes me feel harsh.
After combing my hair and putting on a white shirt, I went to the door and knocked on it, trying to get the bathwater to be carried out.
"Knock knock... Knock knock..."After trying to knock a few times, no one seemed to respond.
It's so quiet that there's no sound of insects chirping, which makes me feel a little weird.
"Plop!" was slight, but my ears caught a sound, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
I carefully pulled the door through a crack, and a breath of blood hit my face, and I almost vomited.
Under the bright moonlight, there were several black figures, and the bloody long sword exuded the cold light of the forest. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and the closest one, I could see clearly, it was Brother Zhu, who took a lot of care of me during the day.
The black shadow standing suddenly lowered their heads and bent down, and another figure came under the moonlight, it was Han Chen. He raised his hand, and all the shadows stood up and looked over the room.
Xin Cheng's people are all dead, and I am now the turtle in the urn, and the fish and meat on the chopping board are only for others to slaughter.
But with so many people trading their lives for my safety, wouldn't it be useless if I had been caught without making any effort? The inner chamber is on the east side, and if I sleep, they go east when they enter the door. My only hope, then, is to get out through the window on the west side.
What I think may be simple, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.
Tears fell silently, I knocked on the door again, pretending to be calm and asked, "Brother Zhu, I'm going to sleep." Are you okay out there?"
After a short while, someone outside replied, "It's okay!"
I hurried to extinguish the flame of the oil lamp, and took the black porcelain oil lamp in my hand, ready to be used as a weapon.
The moonlit room was bright, and the location of the west window was not difficult to find, and I quietly felt the root of the window and squatted in the shadows, holding the oil lamp in both hands, and my palms were full of sweat, and I was trembling with nervousness.
"Bang!" the wooden latch of the door was picked off, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and my heart rose to my throat.
The door was gently pushed open, and several figures rushed in, heading straight for the inner room. I saw the right moment, pushed open the window, and climbed out.
When the people in the room found out that I wasn't on the couch, they immediately shouted, "The man has run away." ”
Immediately after, there was a noise from the west window, and a white shadow, that is, I quickly fled westward.
Han Chen's eyes were on fire, he didn't expect that he would be so careful that he would be able to let her find a way to escape.
"Chase!" he snorted, and chased after all the men in black.
I don't know the road to the inn, but I vaguely remember the way to the small garden. There are many flowers and trees in the garden, and there are mountains and rocks for the landscape, if I run fast, I may be able to take time to hide.
I was running dizzily, and I was passing through an archway, when I was suddenly covered by someone from behind and dragged to the base of the wall behind a small clump of green bamboo. This is the corner where the moonlight does not shine.
He said, "Don't make a sound, hide here." ”
This is Wang Meng's voice!
I nodded, and honestly crouched on the ground. Wang Meng went out and lured away the black shadows chasing behind.
Looking at Wang Meng's figure as he moved away from each other, my tears swirled in my eyes. I prayed silently over and over again in my heart, hoping that he would be fine.
The sound of hurried and messy footsteps grew farther and farther away, and the surroundings fell silent. Due to the long squatting time and the mental tension, my legs and feet have become numb like wood.
I stood up slowly against the wall, the soles of my feet hurt like pins and needles, and I took a step forward and almost didn't fall to the ground. It took a while for me to finally recover.
Not far away, a black shadow seemed to be moving extremely fast, and I immediately crouched down vigilantly again. As soon as I crouched down, the black shadow was already in front of me, and he grabbed my wrist and said, "It's me, let's go!"
"Brother Wang!" I stood up happily and ran with him towards the corner door.
There were no men in black behind me, and I was still secretly happy in my heart that I finally got rid of them. After leaving the corner gate, I realized that I had rejoiced too soon.
More than a dozen black shadows with sharp swords jumped out from both sides and stopped us at once. If you want to turn back, the back road has been cut off.
Han Chen said, "If you want to fight with me, you guys are too tender." ”
"How did you come up with that?" Wang Meng originally thought that he had successfully lured Han Chen away from his people and got rid of him.
Han Chen's eyes looked at Wang Meng's right leg, smiled and said, "Your legs are different from ordinary people. ”
Now, Wang Meng hated his lame leg to death.
"Brother Bai, I was going to help you, but I didn't expect to hurt you instead. But don't worry, I will fight for my life tonight, and I will protect you. When the fight starts, run as fast as you can, and leave me alone. He twisted his eyebrows, and unsheathed his sword.
I just want to say to him the argument he is going to fight for, "Don't say stupid things!"
"Those who have never been against me have no good end, and the end of traitors is many times worse. You want to die? How can it be so easy! I will destroy your other leg, so that you can't even walk, and you can only crawl on the ground for the rest of your life. ”
Han Chen, this old man, is too vicious. With only one lame, Wang Meng was depressed for many years. Doesn't it make him more uncomfortable than death when he is paralyzed now?
Wang Meng threw the scabbard on the ground, laughed as if fearlessly, and said, "I'd rather crawl on the ground for the rest of my life than bow down to you." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity! You were a good talent, but you can only be a maggot that everyone hates. Han Chen put his hands behind his back and shook his head with a look of regret.
Wang Meng's face sank, and he suddenly shouted, "Old mad dog, what are you waiting for?"
When Han Chen heard the three words of the old mad dog, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Chop off his legs." ”
Wang Meng has already begun to roar angrily, "Come on!
