Chapter 136: Absconding at Night
Chapter 136: Absconding at Night
In Pingshui City, there was a lot of disturbance, and it seemed that the situation was also very chaotic.
Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun entered the city without being clear.
Although it was not good to be out of the school, as soon as they entered the city gate, they were mistaken for bandits and bandits and imprisoned in the dungeon, but they also had their own way of getting out and escaped easily.
What Tian Wei did made Wang Baoshan confused, and he didn't know what to say when he asked him, which was really incomprehensible.
Wang Baoshan took Lu Yun to this Pingshui City, also to inquire about the news and see if the city could find clues about flint powder.
But judging from their current situation, it is estimated that they will not be able to show up in the city for a while.
There are many guards patrolling the streets in the city, and under the patrol of the streets and strict investigation, it is difficult for them to avoid the vicious eyes of the guards as a foreigner.
What's more, they are also escaped fugitives.
For this reason, under Tian Wei's suggestion, they chose to hide first, wait for the time to be ripe, and then escape from the city.
And this ripe time, Tian Wei arranged it in the evening.
Just as the night was dark, the night blackout had begun in Pingshui City.
The streets that were originally dimly lit gradually dimmed at three o'clock.
In the streets and alleys, few people are swaying, and there is no sound at all.
The whole huge city, as if in an instant, turned into a dark light and a blind fire, showing darkness and silence.
Occasionally, if someone returns at night, he is also in a hurry, walking quickly, as if he is very afraid of something.
"Brother Tian, what's wrong tonight?"
Wang Baoshan followed Tian Wei and Lu Yun quietly on the dark streets.
"Brother Wang, in our Pingshui City, it has not been very peaceful recently, firstly because the city lord's young lady is missing, and secondly, because of a powerful person......"
Tian Wei answered Wang Baoshan in a low voice while opening the way in front.
"Who?"
When Lu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked casually.
"You just came, and you don't know a lot of things, but after Miss Lin disappeared, the city lord invited a famous supervisor in the national capital, Fan Yuhuan... Where the Lord ......"
"Brother Tian, is there something wrong with this person?"
"According to rumors, he was a well-known inspector and was very much appreciated by the lord of the country in the capital of Sichuan. Its methods are clever, and he is good at handling some of the more spicy cases... Moreover, he is ruthless and often likes to hang out at night...... Therefore, the people in the city, in order to avoid trouble, did not dare to go out after the curfew, nor did they dare to light the lamps......"
Tian Wei said, and took Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun to a deserted mansion next to the city wall.
It is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a dark and dark color, full of ruins and broken walls, and in a dilapidated state.
"Let's go and hide for one or two first, wait a little longer, and then we can get out of the city......"
In the deserted mansion, Tian Wei finished speaking, and found a random place to sit down.
He also comforted Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun, telling them not to worry, wait for a while, and be able to go out of the city, and now, they can rest and sit here.
Wang Baoshan looked at the surrounding scene, and couldn't help frowning, as if he was a little afraid of this deserted house.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always felt that there was an eye, as if it was staring at the three of them in the depths of this deserted mansion.
This feeling of his only began to appear after they came in, and it was not before.
This made him very confused, not sure if it was a delusion, or if there was something really terrifying, lurking in the darkness.
Tian Wei and Lu Yun didn't seem to notice it, and they were still chatting in a low voice.
"This mansion was originally the mansion of Master Fu downstairs in this northern city. A few days ago, it was burned by a fire. Dozens of members of Master Fu's family were buried in the fire in such an unknown way, and it is said that even the corpses were burned......"
"What?"
When Lu Yun heard Tian Wei say this, he couldn't help but look at this dilapidated mansion nervously.
"Huh...... Why are you scared?"
Tian Wei was frightened when he saw him, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"This place where people just died, can it not be scary!"
"Actually...... It is precisely because of this that it is convenient for us to hide! Otherwise, the guards of the city will patrol every quarter of an hour, and we will be afraid!"
"Oh...... That's ...... too."
In this way, the two of them, you and I relieved each other's boredom in one word.
And Wang Baoshan was on the side, quietly paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Time passed slowly, and when it was almost the second half of the night, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the deserted mansion.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it at all, it's the sound of footsteps.
"Be careful...... Someone is coming......"
After Wang Baoshan heard this, his heartstrings, which had been nervous, became even more nervous, and he immediately reminded him in a whisper, hoping that Tian Wei and Lu Yun would pay attention to their vigilance.
How do you know that Tian Wei is not only nervous, but also said disapprerovantly: "Brother Wang, don't panic, it's a friend of mine who came......"
As soon as his words fell, footsteps outside the deserted mansion walked in from far and near.
"Brother Tian, are you there?"
The visitor whispered a question and walked over.
Wang Baoshan looked at him, tall and thin, most of his figure was hidden in the dark, making it impossible for people to see his true face for the time being.
But listening to his voice, although it is a little low, his breath is strong and restrained.
This made Wang Baoshan a little surprised, and looked at him a few more times.
"Brother Xie, you're finally here, we've been waiting so hard! In the future, you must compensate me and invite me to drink at least once......
Tian Wei seemed to have a good relationship with him, and he actually made a joke at this time.
"Huh...... Brother Tian is serious, you don't know, I am on official business, so it is inconvenient to walk casually!"
"Good...... I won't say more, anyway, you have to invite this meal...... Let me introduce you to two friends I just met......"
Tian Wei laughed a few words and began to introduce Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun.
It has been introduced in both parties, and everyone knows each other.
The person who just came, named Xie Zhilong, was originally a street patrol guard in Pingshui City.
Because of a not-so-friendly encounter, he and Tian Wei became friends.
This time, he wanted to follow Tian Wei and escape from the city together, otherwise he would be imprisoned in a few days.
The reason is that the newly appointed chief of the Beicheng Guard wants to cut him and let him take the black pot of black money for himself.
Xie Zhilong has a strong temperament, how can he give in, so he has been thinking about going out of the city to avoid the limelight.
At noon today, Tian Wei found Xie Zhilong before killing his owner, and he had already discussed with him, and they would go out of the city together at night.
Wang Baoshan didn't have much to say about this, and after a brief conversation, he asked Lu Yun to take them and teleport through the thick city wall to the outside of Pingshui City.
For the sake of safety, the four of them ran wildly all the way to the north, not far from the north, a white swaying Changhong, ran over.
It was a long river lying in the darkness of the night, in the silence of the suburban wasteland.
At this time, the sound of water in the river is tskling, and the reflections of countless starry points of light reflect the bright stars in the night sky.
"This is Brother Lu, how did you do it just now? You can penetrate such a thick city wall......
By the big river, while resting, Xie Zhilong asked about Lu Yun.
"Huh...... It's nothing, it's just a little trick, it's not worth mentioning!"
In ordinary days, Lu Yun listened to Wang Baoshan's advice and asked him not to show off his skills casually, so as not to get into trouble. Therefore, now he is somewhat defensive.
"Such a miraculous method, you still say it's not worth mentioning! tell us about it......
Tian Wei seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and he also interjected, wanting to ask for an understanding.
Lu Yun didn't answer immediately, but looked at Wang Baoshan on the side, as if asking for his opinion.
Seeing that they were puzzled, Wang Baoshan said: "In this world, there are no wonders... Magical things, more and more... Brother Tian and Brother Xie, why should it be difficult to be strong?"
"This ......"
He didn't say this, which made Tian Wei and Xie Zhilong speechless on the spot.
The current situation is still unclear, and Wang Baoshan doesn't want to explain more, and said: "Now that we have left the city, I don't know what your plans are for Brother Tian?"
"What can I plan, it's not a step by step......
Tian Wei listened to his question, sighed, and said that he had no plans for the time being.
"So far, I won't hide it from you, we went into the city to inquire about ......"
Wang Baoshan saw that he had no plans, and separated from them and continued to search for the whereabouts of the flint powder.
But he still had to make it clear, so he said the purpose of his trip.
After finishing speaking, he also comforted a few words apologetically, hoping that they could find a stable place and start living a good life again.
"Brother Wang, are you looking for a black powder that ignites when it meets fire?"
But who knows, Xie Zhilong, who has been a street patrol guard, seems to have suddenly thought of something after listening to Wang Baoshan's story.
As soon as he said this, Wang Baoshan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "What...... Brother Xie has seen it before?"
Subsequently, Xie Zhilong told him something.
said that when he went to the Captain's Mansion once to find the Captain on an errand, he heard the guards of the Captain's Mansion talk about this rare thing.
According to the guards, the lord of the city, Lin Li, seems to have received a secret order to the capital of the country, asking him to secretly explore the boundaries of Pingshui City, a mineral powder that ignites when it meets fire.
What is it, there is not much information given in the secret order, but he is asked to follow it and pay more attention.
So, Lin Li sent the order of the lord of the country to the four guards in Pingshui City, and ordered the captains and the subordinate guards to secretly search for them......
Because, in the secret order of the lord of the country, he just asked the city lord to stand in a forest, pay more attention to the search, and did not give a death order, if he said that he could not find it, he would ask you...... and other words.
Therefore, Lin Li didn't pay much attention to it, he didn't take it seriously at all, he just acted on orders and explained.
This caused the four guards below to follow Yang Fengyin and disobey the Yin, and randomly arranged a few guards to let them go out of the city to take a look and see if they could find it.
As a result, they really found it, but as for the location, it was a little embarrassing.
