Chapter 30: A Search for the City
Of course, Bu Tong did not die, and Tong Huan soon found out that the mourning hall in front of him was set up for someone else. At the same time, Tong Huan must have come back, but now he has disappeared.
"Little Master, what should we do now?" asked Jia Ming.
"You take someone to search for Bu Tong, leave some people for me, and I'll wait for you here. Tong Huan commanded.
"Yes, young master. Jamin quickly led the people away.
Tong Huan wandered around Butong's house, rummaging through things from time to time. It was exactly like being in your own home.
When the surrounding neighbors saw such a large group of people coming to Butong's house, they didn't dare to come over to ask, and even gathered around to watch. Even Uncle Guan is no exception. In fact, they can't be blamed for this, after all, they are just small city citizens, and they have to think about their families.
It's just that Jia Ming won't let go of the search for them. This is what Tong Huan explained, and no one can be spared.
Of course, Jia Ming's search was not as strict as Tong Huan explained. He didn't like what Tong Huan did, if it weren't for the fact that he was a guard of the City Lord's Mansion and had to listen to Tong Huan's orders, he wouldn't have come here with Tong Huan. Because of this, he was not so resolute and thorough in carrying out Tong Huan's orders.
Jia Ming naturally hoped that Bu Tong would be able to escape this catastrophe, but Bu Tong and Qin Ying had now left the area that Jia Ming searched, otherwise they might really have escaped this search.
At this moment, Qin Ying and Bu Tong had already arrived at the city gate. But now a great crowd is gathered at the gates of the city.
"My lord, why haven't you opened the city gate today?" asked one of the citizens in the crowd.
"That's right, if it's already bright today, the city gate has already come, why hasn't it been opened today?" asked another strong citizen.
"Yes, open the gates, we are going out of the city. All the people of the city cried out.
At this time, a squad leader of the city guard shouted, "What are you shouting? The city lord has an order, the city gate is closed today, you can go back." ”
"Why? Why did the lord order the gates to be closed? The townsfolk shouted again.
"My lord, you can be good, be accommodating, I have an urgent trip out of the city, please!" a citizen crowded to the city gate and pleaded.
"Today the lord of the city has decreed that no one shall leave the city. You want to get out of the city and wait for today. But the city guard said mercilessly.
"My lord, it's getting late tomorrow, I have to find a primer for my grandmother to go out of the city today, or she'll die. My lord, please be merciful. The townsfolk were still pleading.
"Yes, come to the city gate, we all have urgent matters, don't leave the city. "Hearing this citizen's 'excuse', he began to heckle the others.
"Today's closure of the city is a death order, no one is allowed to disobey it, and if you mess around here again, I will arrest you all and serve you severely. "That City Guard squad leader is on the verge of an outburst.
"My lord, you can't die without help!" the citizen still refused to give up. However, the end result of this stalking method is not very good.
I only heard the leader of the city guard say, "Arrest him." At this moment, the leader of the city guard was already impatient.
I saw a few city guards scatter in a hurry, and the city citizen just now was pushed to the ground. The townsfolk struggled to escape, but his actions were in vain, and he had to be whipped this time.
And those city-dwellers who had just been clamoring to leave the city saw this scene, and they didn't dare to mess around anymore, and dispersed one after another.
Qin Ying and Bu Tong naturally saw this scene.
"Brother, now that the city gate is closed, what should we do if we can't get out?" Bu Tong frowned.
Qin Ying also frowned, he had a bad feeling. He felt that this time the closed city gate was definitely coming at them.
In fact, he had just possessed and controlled the squad leader of the city guard, and Qin Ying had obtained some information from that person's memory.
This lockdown order is very strict, requiring no one to open the city gates, and no one to leave the city. And a man was sent to inspect it.
In this way, Qin Ying's idea of leaving Qinggui City by possessing the supreme leader of the city guard would not work. After all, he couldn't possess two people at the same time.
"Xiaotong, if you want to see it, let's go to the gate of Nancheng to have a look. Qin Ying suggested.
Qin Ying's home was relatively close to the gate of Dongcheng, so they chose to come here in the first place. Now that this place is blocked, they naturally want to take a look at the South City Gate, which is not far away.
Although Qin Ying said this, he had already guessed in his heart that maybe the South City Gate was in the same situation as here. It's just that they have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
With a decision, Qin Ying and Bu Tong headed towards the gate of the southern city. It's just that it's impossible for them to get to the gate of the southern city.
Under Tong Huan's order, the army in Qinggui City had already been divided into four parts, and Qinggui City was divided into four regions, and each part of the army was responsible for one area.
Moreover, each part of the army surrounded its own area from all sides, constantly searching inward and every corner, thus shrinking the search area. In this way, there is simply nothing that will be able to escape their search.
Similarly, Qin Ying and Bu Tong couldn't escape. Although Qin Ying can change and even possess herself, the purpose of this search is not Qin Ying, but Bu Tong.
Bu Tong doesn't have these abilities. And this time Tong Huan ordered that no one should be spared! Therefore, it is inevitable that Bu Tong will be caught. No matter how Qin Ying and Bu Tong hid, they were just extending the time a little bit.
At this moment, Qin Ying was still rushing towards the south city gate with Butong. There is no knowledge of the city-wide manhunt that has now been launched. He didn't get any of this information from the City Guard Captain. After all, the city guards did not participate in this search at all, and the squad leader was too low-level to have access to these news.
Qin Ying saw that Butong was a little worried along the way, and immediately comforted, "Xiaotong, don't worry, with my brother by your side, I will definitely not let you be hurt." ”
Bu Tong barely smiled. "Brother, I know. ”
Bu Tong knew that Qin Ying was very powerful now, but this was not a reason for her to feel at ease. She knew that Tong Huan was the son of the city lord and the heir of the city lord. Although his strength is not very good, he has a lot of power in his hands.
No matter how strong Qin Ying is, he is only one person strong, but he is also invincible with two fists and four hands. Just like just now, didn't Qin Ying have nothing to do because the city gate was sealed.
However, with Qin Ying's assurance, Bu Tong still hid this concern in his heart for the time being. There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Suddenly, a large group of soldiers appeared not far in front of Qin Ying and Bu Tong. They had a portrait in their hands and searched everyone who passed by.
And they're searching so tightly that they won't let go of any house, every corner, and they're still pushing slowly, but slowly.
"Brother, look, it seems that I'm being searched ahead. Bu Tong said. Of course, she was just guessing, but she was ninety percent sure that her guess was true.
Qin Ying immediately possessed one of them and obtained the information in his memory. In an instant, Qin Ying knew the cause and effect.
"Xiaotong, those people are really here to hunt you down. Looks like we're going to have to go in a different direction. Qin Ying frowned and said.
Bu Tong nodded.
Then Qin Ying and Bu Tong quickly left the sight of those soldiers.
"Brother, do you know any news? Don't you hide it from me?" Bu Tong said.
"Okay. Qin Ying had no choice but to inform Bu Tong of the news she had just obtained.
"I didn't expect Tong Huan to be so hateful that he would search for me all over the city. Brother, I asked what to do now?" Bu Tong was completely out of idea at the moment.
"Don't worry, Xiaotong, they won't be able to search it today. All we have to do now is hide first, and at night we can find their search loopholes and escape. Qin Ying instantly thought of an idea.
"But even if we can escape, the gates are still sealed, and we won't be able to get out of the city. Bu Tong worried.
"Qinggui City can't be locked down forever. As long as we don't get found in the city, we can always wait until the gates are wide open. Qin Ying said confidently.
"Then I'll listen to my brother. Bu Tong nodded, obviously affirming Qin Ying's strategy.
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights lit up from the surrounding buildings.
Tong Huan is still staying at Butong's house, and at this moment, the mourning hall has been removed, and the room has been cleaned up. And there are maids cooking in the kitchen. Obviously, Tong Huan is going to stay here tonight.
"Young Master, are we really staying here tonight?" Ji Rui seemed a little reluctant. She is also from a big family, when has she ever lived in such a dilapidated house.
"I said it, when I find Butong, I will go back to the house when I find it. So you better pray that those soldiers find Butong soon. Tong Huan's tone was very resolute.
Ji Rui frowned secretly, but she didn't dare to refute Tong Huan's decision. So she can only live here today.
Qin Ying and Bu Tong naturally didn't expect Tong Huan to live in their house. They were now hiding and approaching the soldiers who were searching for them.
But when Qin Ying and Bu Tong approached, they were dumbfounded. It turned out that at this moment the soldiers had pulled up a protective net, separating the searched places from those that had not been searched. Moreover, the lights around the protective net were bright, and there were no dark corners for Qin Ying and Bu Tong to smuggle over.
"Brother, it seems that your original plan didn't work, they have already thought of the loophole of the night, and they have filled this loophole. There's no way we're going to get past here. Bu Tong said dejectedly.
"Damn!" Qin Ying slammed his right hand on the ground. He was also depressed at the moment. He really didn't expect that the other party's search was so thorough this time, and there were no loopholes to be found.
Qin Ying and Bu Tong's plan to escape from the night failed like this, and at the same time, they didn't dare to stay in the sight of those soldiers. So they knew that the original plan was not feasible and quickly left. They had to have a new plan.
