Chapter 223: Secret Path
Xin Zi retracted her hand in fright, but turned her head to see that there was already a black-clothed assassin standing behind her at some point, blocking her way back into the room.
The assassin's eyes were cold, and he was about to grab Xin Zi's wrist.
Xin Zi panicked, waving her hands casually, but her toes were subconsciously a little, she jumped away, retreated a few steps back, and landed in the open space in the middle of the courtyard.
But he barely escaped one Assassin, but the price was that he was surrounded by nearly a hundred Assassins in the courtyard.
To Xin Zi's surprise, in the face of her weak woman at this time, this group of black-clothed assassins was far less decisive than the previous killing of the men and women in the entire courtyard.
The height and body type have been strictly screened, so several similar nearly 100 people surrounded Xin Zi in the center and began to run quickly in a circle.
Xin Zi narrowed his eyes, unable to see what kind of formation this was, let alone what these people were going to do.
She just saw that the encirclement formed by the black-clad assassins who were rushing towards her was shrinking smaller and smaller, and she was about to touch her body.
It's impossible to rush out in advance.
Then there is only one way to go.
Xin Zi stepped on the ground, jumped on the ground, jumped up, stepped on the head of the black-clothed assassin and walked towards the eaves step by step, and finally landed where the black-clothed assassin appeared.
A group of people in the courtyard quickly stopped, looked up at Xin Zi, and after a moment of hesitation, they all jumped up towards the eaves where she was.
With no way out, Xin Zi could only turn around and jump in the other direction.
Bending her knees and landing on a neatly trimmed grass, Xin Zi, who was hugging herself and rolling a few times in a row before she stabilized, did not dare to hesitate for a moment. Quickly standing up and looking behind him, several agile assassins had fallen from the eaves and chased after him.
Xin Zi turned around and fled in the opposite direction.
Along the way, there is only one thought: not to be caught up, not to be killed. But she didn't notice at all that the moment she jumped over the eaves, she had already left the Tang Mansion and came to the Qi Palace, which Tang Yinzhong had mentioned to her before, which was only separated by a wall from the Tang Mansion.
There are very few people in this house during the day, and there are almost no people at night.
I don't know how long I ran, but when I was about to use up the last bit of strength in my body, Xin Zi finally bumped into two people who looked like saber guards.
The two stood abruptly in a clearing, though they looked like they were guarding something. But there was nothing behind him except for the flat, open grass and a white wall at the end of the meadow.
Xin Zi couldn't help but wonder about the suspicious identities of the two and the strangeness of the position they were standing in. As long as there was a glimmer of hope that it could help her, she didn't mind giving it a try at the moment.
So ignoring the shocked expressions on the faces of the two saber guards standing there, she rushed between them with an arrow step.
The two guards were about to stop them, when they saw a dozen black-clothed assassins following behind Ah Zi. Quickly shifted his gaze - apparently compared to a thin woman. The two of them were a little more afraid of the dozen or so well-trained killers in their place.
"Who are you? The Qi Palace's Mansion also dares to trespass?! One of them shouted.
The two guards drew their swords together. The tip of the knife was pointed at the assassin on the opposite side.
The masked assassin looked at each other, and after a brief moment of eye contact, he stepped forward and tangled with the two guards at the same time.
Xin Zi had no intention of watching the battle. But when he turned his head to look behind him, he realized that it was surrounded by walls on three sides, and only the place where the guards in front of him fought with the Assassins was the only exit.
Looking up at the white wall behind him, it was five people tall. After all these years of traveling, Xin Zi had never seen such a high courtyard wall - such a height was enough to build a city wall, what was behind the wall that needed such a thick and tall wall to block it?
Xin Zi didn't have time to think about the answer to this question, looking at the two guards behind her who were gradually falling and looking like they couldn't contain it, knowing that if she didn't find a way out, there would be only a dead end, she took a few steps back, stepped on the wall on tiptoe with one swoop, climbed up with both hands, and reached the top of the wall in only three or two strokes.
Ignoring the guards behind her trying to stop her shouting, Ah Zi flipped over and fell lightly.
But this time the touch of her toes was completely different from what she had just done - the place she stepped on was not like a paved road of bricks and stones, not like a path made of mud and grass, but it was like falling into a ball of cotton, without any barrier, and she only felt weak when she fell to the ground.
When she realized that she had fallen into an invisible swamp and kept stuffing her body, Xin Zi wanted to struggle to jump again, but she couldn't do anything.
Looking at himself in despair and seeing that his chest and the bottom of his chest were sunk in, Xin Zi cried out in despair, but when he looked up, he saw several black-clothed assassins squatting on the wall looking at him, and his eyes were full of smug smiles.
After completely sinking into the ground, I thought I would suffocate to death, but my body suddenly fell and finally hit the ground hard.
Xin Zi didn't dare to make any sound, squinting her eyes and trying to make out the situation around her—it was a dark passage, and there were dim oil lamps lit on either side of the tunnel every few steps.
Looking up at the top of your head, you can't see any traces of an opening where you fell.
She stood up and leaped up with all her might, only to be knocked mercilessly down.
Rubbing his sore shoulders, looking at the stone wall on one side and the dark passage guided by the dim lights on the other, Xin Zi realized that he only had one way to go now.
Hard-headed all the way down, the road extended to the ground little by little, and Xin Zi's heart sank little by little.
She clutched the dagger from her waist tightly in one hand, her eyes fixed on the front.
As long as there is an enemy, he will fight with that person.
Xin Zi walked forward with such determination all the way, but he didn't even see a living creature along the way.
After a cup of tea, I finally reached the end of the dark passage, and what caught my eye was not an exit, but an old wooden door entwined by iron chains.
The wooden door was also unguarded.
When I looked up, I saw a plaque with extremely illegible handwriting above the wooden door.
Xin Zi looked closer, and barely recognized the three words on it - "Food and Drug Administration".
The moment she saw this name clearly, Xin Zi only felt that the blood in her whole body was about to coagulate, her hands and feet were cold, and she wanted to retreat for a moment, but there was no way back behind her.
Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her body trembled slightly, but she never dared to take a step forward.
There was a faint moan from behind the door, and with that small sound came a heart-piercing pain that seemed to penetrate every inch of Xin Zi's skin.
Xin Zi hugged her head tightly and curled up, but the pain on her body did not lessen in the slightest.
She struggled to her feet, lifted her dagger and swung it at the chain by the door.
The dagger of Longyan Mine made by the witch sharpened iron like mud, and the moment the dagger slashed, the iron chain fell in response, and the wooden door creaked open. (To be continued.) )
